With so much on your plate. Making videos, writing Scripts, running this patreon, discord, having to play the games you analyz and so on and so on. Do you have time to socialize, hang out with friends and just turn your mind off, just relax? Because after years of watching you i got this image of you, a person who is always working/planing on something 24/7.
Yes, and no. Yes in that I'm free to work and not work whenever I wish. No, in the sense that any decision made away from work, the thought of work never leaves, as there isn't a clear time for one or the other like there is if you're doing a 9-5.
Only when I'm away from home or in a relationship do I have times where I'm genuinely not thinking about Youtube, Essays, or Patreon.

Have you seen Everything Everywhere All At Once and did it left an impact in your life?
Yes, and yes(ish), I absolutely loved it!

How much would you love/hate adding a timer to golf that impacts scoring? imagine seeing golfers sprint down fairways while only using a few clubs so they can reduce the amount of weight they have to carry to improve their time.
I'd happily watch a Speed Golf competition, to actually play it though? My lungs are getting anxeity just at the thought.

With lots of developers and publishers becoming the villain before dying a hero (so to speak), are there any that have redeemed themselves in your eyes?
Valve have very much restablished their quality after the release of Half Life Alyx, and the improvements Teyon made from Rambo to Terminator: Resistance is insane!
Publishers though?
Eh...

Have you tried Vampire Survivors? (I'm asking in regards to the earlier question question about removing lootboxes/NFTs and it feels to me like the problem is less those and more microtransactions in games that really shouldn't be using them.)
Nope, but it's certainly the biggest success I've seen from a game that costs $3. We'll see if I end up as one of the many addicts that've since been unable to leave their computers since launching it.

Is it possible to have a good story in a racing game? If yes, what developer would be most likely to pull it off?
Absolutely; as for which developer is most likely to pull it off first? That's tough because all of them have been total garbage for decades and show no signs of learning. Codemasters have actually managed to backtrack AGAIN after F1 21's Break Point with Grid Legends and it's pathetic excuse for a "story" mode.
I'll go with a wildcard and say Capcom.

With Cyberpunk Edgerunners being such a success, what video game do you think would benefit most from an adaptation in Studio Trigger’s style?
Dragon Age, because that Absolution show is...

Got any grapes?

What are some of your hobbies outside of videogames?

Long question (sorry): I’ve been obsessed on Mandalore’s Marathon videos and the story of the games and the universe in general, but I find myself unable to experience it myself because it’s wrapped in a janky 90s FPS. How would you, as someone that has spent a lot of time thinking about stories, go about telling a something like that in another medium, be it TV, Film or novel?
