I make video essays on YouTube about games, monsters, storytelling, narratives and stuff. I think it's kind of neat actually.

Just watched Iron Lung!

Such a cool movie! Love that it doesn't really hold your hand and lets you make your own sense of its crazy, bloody world and surprising backstory.

Big congrats to Markiplier and everyone involved!

Akira is a goddamn piece of art.

That's it.

That's the message.

Been deep in the editing for 3-4 days now... both nervous and excited for this video - especially considering its the first time I use this much movie content, and I don't necessarily have a feel for fair use yet - "transformative" feels broad and esoteric...

*fingers crossed* and back to work!

Man, I'm really looking forward to Mewgenics - having played a lot of Binding of Isaac, you just know that builds are gonna go crazy

that, and cats - a lot of cats

Founded a game studio as a creative director with a passion for games and stories, after 3 years my co-founders wanted something different, now I use the same passion and skills from my creative director time to hopefully make a new career making video essays on games and media 🕹️
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

That Steam Frame is looking mighty fine, ngl

I know this is echoed into infinity at this point, but I would really love a Bloodborne Remake, hell, a Remaster would suffice - there are so many cool things to talk about in that game and its lovecraftian inspirations - but footage just looks so rough from the original now.

Reception of my last video has been wild! Was a bit nervous at first, when the first 48 hours looked like it was a dud - but changing the title helped tremendously.

Also people are just super encouraging and engaging in the comments - feels incredible!

New video out! This time, its about some of the creatures from the Dark Souls universe, who let their desires and devotions turn into monstrous obsession.

Watching the various Dark Souls intro cinematics, I'm always baffled - they're such a treat of their own kind of deep, dark fantasy.
Especially the Dark Souls 2 intro cinematic really hits the "hollowing" idea perfectly for me - slowly losing yourself to a purpose beyond yourself, decided by fate.

Next video is coming along nicely - trying a bit of a different approach this time, where I do voice over and music before I edit any visuals - will see if I regret it once I have to fit my footage in there, but it feels great to establish the emotional arc in this way.
