    this just showed up on my recommended, this video was so well formulated, spoken, and put together that I was astounded when there were only 422 views, keep up with the great content. Your videos are on par with, if not better than, all the videos that show up on my recommended.

    Thank you so much! That means the world to me, truly. This is my first on-camera video and I was extremely nervous about it.

    Absolutely fantastic as always. Cheers! The line from Primer has always stuck with me "What's worse: thinking you are being paranoid, or knowing that you should be"

    Amazing video! Started watching your channel since the "This Quest is Death" video and I just wanted to show my support! Also would like to share another KZread channel that reminds me of your videos: Rhystic Studies. His videos center around Magic the Gathering, however the way he plays around intertextuality with other media and art reminds me a lot of your videos and makes the theme more approachable. If you are unfamiliar with Magic the Gathering I would recommend starting with the "There Are Skeletons Within Us" video as it focus primarily on the art of cards.
