i love a video essayist yelling at me mid video.

[@marocat4749]

It should be , write what you are familiar with, and if you are curious, make yourself familiar with that.
Also imagination is a thing.

[@TestSubjectNerd]

Thanks for reminding me once again how much I love Asteroid City and why it was one of my favourite movies of last year.

[@readytosign]

Thank you!!

[@KatzePiano]

Literally threw my headphones off my head at that moment. All the loud bleeps are horrible as well. Who cares about a level volume, right?

[@najawin8348]

Great video, but when's the Faction Paradox essay?

[@PercyNah]

Love your work, but couldn't get through this one cause of the sound mix - by 6:14, I'd been leaning in to try and hear what you were saying, and twice been blasted by klaxons that were like jump-scare loud. I'll catch you in the next one.
