I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn’t get submitted and I didn’t have it saved in copy-paste. It’s just so ironically fitting.

So ya, what’s something you’d like to ramble a bit about?

    Who are your favorite essayists for games? I’m keen on Monty Zander and Noah Caldwell-Gervais, as well as Chris Davis.

          And that’s just gaming Youtubers! I also have a lot of tech, philosophy, film & media ones I love. Also a couple of disaster essayists, train & themepark ones too 😂

            Well, if you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to get some more of your top picks for the others, especially tech and film (been a Lindsay Ellis fan for years and am also fond of creators like Pop Culture Detective, Just Write, Thomas Flight, and lots more).

              Big fan of Lindsay Ellis & Pop Culture Detective!

              For Tech: Technology Connections, This Does Not Compute, Michael MJD and RetroBytes. MattKC is probably more tech than gaming too

                Shaun and Contrapoints are two of my three holy trinity for politics and culture too, with Folding Ideas being the third. I’m looking forward to checking out the rest, thanks for taking the time to put these together!

                  I need to watch more Folding Ideas, I’m not sure why they haven’t resonated with me.

                  Jacob Gellar is another great I forgot to mention
