    As a recovering Catholic (15 years, 9 months and 5 days without eating god), I was wonderfully delighted with your particular definition of "sin".
    Made me want to print it and put it on a poster on the front wall of my office!
    Thank you!!

      @loveless131 10 месяцев назад +13

      I agree, I need this merch.
      Also, eating god is the best part though! I don't know how you manage. I don't attend church, but I still eat god regularly. And the blood is a pretty solid chaser. Don't let the men in dresses stop you from enjoying the living corpse of the divine.

    I really appreciate the audio mixing on your videos. A professor might instruct you to make VO nearly as loud as media, but they would be wrong. The ducking out of a full stereo signal into quieter VO draws the audience’s attention down to your words, and contributes to the tone.

    You spin quite the yarn for those of us watching this in an old hotel room - and listening too, by the by. Especially with the wailing killdeer right outside the window, out in the darkness. The experience of it all is very atmospheric, care of your deliberately-worded script suited just so for that distinctive voice - in this case, almost eerily calm, like we've been placed inside the game as you slipped out, and you drive the tone (and us) through a hell of a ride. (If you'll pardon the pun, or is it?) It feels like controlled chaos, as your voice soothes as we descend deeper into the fray, with reassurance from your asides only because our guide sounds calm. Bored? Not in the least! Altogether, you've set quite the tone masterfully, and I wouldn't have it any other way - nor with any other voice to guide us, thank _you_ very much! ...I say that with sincerity, which is hard to convey without my voice, but even with it. I'd say "that's our world," but it's not anymore. Not blindly futuristic, not retro, not whatever things used to be. Controlled chaos, as I call it, but I like _1080p_ so I'll have to check out those tracks and drive on. Cheers.
    (I don't know; blame the killdeer. Or maybe one of us has the Shining.)

    Love the "change" in direction, it's appreciated and healthy. I like your tastes and excellent editing. You keep going!

    I gotta say, as much as I loved the politics-focused video essays of before, I'm loving the new direction of your channel, perhaps even more. It's like a marriage of so many different types of videos I like to watch, built into one.
