    This is really great, and you're an excellent lecturer. One thing I'd suggest though would be to make sure that your audio is balanced because in parts the audio is mostly coming from one side or the volume is at a different level.
    On another note, according to Dishonored: The Corroded Man, Lady Waverly Boyle was canonically kidnapped by Lord Brisby, but he gets outed for the kidnapping a while later. I think it's hinted that Lady Boyle somehow manages to make Lord Brisby "disappear," and lives the rest of her life in comfortable wealth from his family fortune, so at least she got a happy ending.

      Thank you very much for this! I've been trying to improve my audio quality for the past year or so your commentary is practical and helpful.
      Also that makes me happy to hear that Lady Boyle gets away canonically. She definitely gets the worst deal out of everyone in the whole franchise because of the kidnapping. I always thought her "ironic non lethal solution" should be some thing that destroys her social standing. Or maybe gets conscripted into the army or something where she has to work? Just nothing quite as brutal as Brisby's ending.

    I see a great potential in your videos! Indeed, it was very interesting and meaningful to listen your ruminations about nature of pragmatism.

      It is ruthlessly pragmatic.
      I'll have to do a video about the habits of minds, education and philosophy of childhood too by the looks of it

      Thank you for your kind words! This is a passion project for me and I do it in between teaching/lecturing sessions. I just wanted to help students learn a bit of philosophy - if I do that even a little, then it'll be worth it.
