About

I'm told I overthink things. I don't think that's so bad. There's a lot of topics I cover but a core of it would be history and games, and games about history. "Media analysis" in all the vague ways that means anything.

Video Description

The Elder Scrolls games hand players a world to play in, but beyond what we play is an equally large, if not larger world we are set to imagine. In its books and stories and the marks of history, we catch glimpses of other worlds, other spaces that we might never see realized in an official capacity. Lucky for us, there are some dedicated people out there working to realize more of this world. *Note: I sometimes refer to the mods as “The Project Tamriel” mods, when I mean all three. PT and TR are distinct projects, to be clear. There’s just not a succinct way of invoking all of them at once, other than I guess calling them the “Tamriel_data mods” but that would require explaining.
