As the title implies OBS is creating monstrously large files that cannot be watched... (log: https://gist.github.com/2a68654a4911f02bc134283a7ed09060)
I just did a 3-minute file that was 10GBs and also unwatchable: https://gist.github.com/700a7bcf30704eaf7ed6fa5f9e9f90ad
Looked through the logs for the third or fourth time myself and noticed that the loseless preset had the bitrate at 0... yet it was a 35GB file...? I changed it to CBR and put the bitrate to 5500 and it worked...
Basically the loseless preset seems to be broken...? Unless I'm missing something.

Have you remuxed the recording?

Go into File > Remix... > Choose recording > Click Remux.

Your recording should now be watchable :-)

With a CQP of 5 one would be pushing 200Mb/s+, with peaks most likely over 1Gb/s so I am not at all surprised.

Using NVENC, if you revert to CQP and have it set to between 15-23 with High Quality, High Profile you will have a much better file size that will still be very watchable in terms of quality output.

Not sure why it could not be watched though (Apart from very very long seek times)
What video player are you attempting to watch the file through?
I personally use VLC Media Player as it is open source and is widely compatible with many formats containers:
