  • I really love what I do for a job, but work really robs me of time withy kids as well. We have a 2.5 year old and an almost 9 month old. Our toddler is very attached to me, and it’s so hard to spend quality time together during the work week. Especially after long days, where I just want to zone out on the couch until bed. I have some time off coming up in the next few weeks, so I’m excited for that and to spend some time connecting with the family. Been feeling quite disconnected and burnt out lately and need a recharge.









  • I love to boot up Red Dead Redemption 2 and go on little hunting / fishing trips as Arthur. I play it as close to real life as I can, meaning I don’t just sprint across the map on horseback and get to my destination in five minutes or less. I have Arthur eat breakfast, ride the trails for a few in game hours, eat lunch, ride until dark, set up camp, eat dinner, brush / feed the horse, sleep, repeat. If I go through a town on my way, I’ll usually stop for a day to experience some entertainment or do a bit of gambling. It can take multiple in game days to reach a hunting / fishing spot. I’ll set up a camp once there, do some hunting / fishing for a few days, and then ride back home. It’s just super relaxing for me and helps me appreciate the little details in the game even more.






  • Here are a few of the top of my head…

    Calvin Dyson: In depth reviews on all things James Bond.

    The Backyard Scientist: Crazy guy in FL doing crazy science experiments.

    Doctor Wolfula: Horror related channel that harkens back to the days of horror movie hosts.

    Comic Book Corner 2.0: Casual video centered around comic book collecting.

    Minnime: Reviews / retrospectives of more obscure games.

    Scarfulhu: Reviews / retrospectives of mainly point and click adventure games.

    Jim Browning: Exposes all sorts of tech support scams. Unlike other scam channels (Scammer Payback, Kitboga, Trilogy Media, etc), Jim is more focused more on educating rather than comedic scam baiting.

    Puppet Nerd: If you ever wanted to learn how to make a puppet or get into puppetry, this is the go-to channel. The creator (Adam) was diagnosed with brain cancer last year, but he’s doing much better now and starting to put more videos out again.


    • Tasting History: Historical recipes re-created and the history behind them.

    • Accented Cinema: Video essays covering foreign (mainly Asian) films and actors.

    • ComicTropes: History of certain comic book runs, spin-offs, writers, artists, and tropes.

    • Game Sack: Deep dives into classic video game consoles and games.

    • Ordinary Sausage: A guy who makes sausage out of anything and everything.

    Tried to hit multiple interests with this list. There’s so many smaller creators I’d love to recommend, but they all revolve around more specific topics / hobbies / interests.
