does vin's constant blabbering about star trek recently make anyone else want to gouge their own eyes out? i can't be the only one that skips about 3 minutes in the VOD every time he brings it up.
I'm a massive Star Trek fan and DS9, which Vinny usually mentions the most, is one of my favorite series (second only to TNG). So no.
Again, I know people complain about this, but it's not like it's a surprise that Vinny is a Star Trek fan. Everyone knows this. Vinny's been talking about Star Trek ad nauseam since 2010, and he's showing no signs of stopping. It's kind of like asking him to stop doing those stupid voices he does - could he stand to do them a little less? Probably. But is he going to? Nope. Best to accept it and suck it up, because complaining isn't going to change anything, and I'd also guess that you're in the minority on this issue; Vinny's fanbase is very "nerd-adjacent" for lack of a better phrase, so it's a guarantee that most of them have seen Star Trek, and since Star Trek is fantastic, it's also highly probable that most of them LIKE Star Trek. So majority wins out there.
Joel's DOOM mapping contest streams have been some of my favorite in a while, just from the sheer variety of maps submitted, ranging from good to amazing. Especially whenever an Arch-Vile shows up.

Oblivion is GOAT. All the GTA streams are really good but San Andreas in particular is the best.
Seconding these. I did a full relisten to San Andreas not that long ago and it really is just as good as I remembered. Oblivion is FANTASTIC - I can't use that one to fall asleep because it always ends up cracking me the fuck up and I just end up watching it instead of sleeping. The DOOM maps are a bit loud for me (in terms of using them to sleep), but after the map contest in 2019 I ended up sifting through as much of the DOOM backlog as I could find because the streams themselves were fantastic.
I'd also highly recommend
his Undertale streams (if you're a fan of the game),
his Earthbound streams, and
his Wrestling MPire streams. There's a lot more I can think of, since I watch quite a bit of Joel, but I'll stick with these for now as I think they're all solid choices.
