I think the thing that makes Any Austin unique is the degree to which you actually learn things through his exploration of a video game. Where does a stream go in Cyberpunk 2077? Suddenly, hydrologic system explanation! Where do the electric lines run in Red Dead Redemption 2? Electric grid, telegraph, and infrastructure development. He has a way of looking at these video game spaces as real shared experiences, and helping people see the real world a little more clearly because of it.

Bonus clip is this hour long interview he did with economist Tyler Cowen.
