About
I make long-form video essays about the games that get under my skin. Most sit somewhere between game design and media analysis — why City 17 feels like a character, why Portal's real horror is isolation, why an empty map in Garry's Mod can feel like peace. When I'm not editing, I'm building small games, writing short fiction, or tinkering with little tools.
