Post-editing note: the four seconds of COD gameplay is from IGN, sorry for not getting that cited in-video!! but also it's four seconds of gameplay from the most popular game review website so it's chill if I put the citation down here. I was very tired. All other uncited gameplay that's not mine is from official sources, and the R6S is from a compilation my friend made three years ago. I'm the Frost player being spectated though!!!

Actual video description now: This was a really ambitious project. I can't mind-read, so I make a lot of bold assumptions about what are and aren't general experiences, but I think I realized as I made the video that this issue is, in fact, very much definitely not isolated to me. I also super-fine-tuned my language to make everything make sense for everyone as well as possible!! All I really hope to get out of having made this is to hopefully help some people make sense of some of the challenges in their life. I also made this for myself, to explore my own experiences with content addiction, and to help highlight my fellow artists whose work sometimes flies under the radar. I see you all, and I'm endlessly proud of you. Heck, I'd like to think that one of the themes of the video is to take control of your life and do what makes you happy. So maybe one of you will start making art because of this? Maybe not! But maybe! And if you're that person and you're reading this, PLEASE share your stuff with me through every stage of your journey. I think I'm overestimating how popular this video will be. Also I'm rambling. But I would be endlessly happy if this video helped even one person.

Other random notes!!!
I started working on this in late October and I was initially inspired by a meme I saw on reddit!!! hooray!!!
This is my first time mentioning Magic: The Gathering in one of my videos. It has been my number one hyperfixation since 2016 and I don't know when a day has ever gone by that I don't idly think about magic because I love it so much. But magic arena kind of stinks and hasbro sucks and wotc kinda sucks too.
Also I'm burying these two things waaaaaay at the bottom where nobody will see them!! But I like writing so I'm writing them!!
1. The name Sethomon is all over this video. I used that name as a kid, my name bein' Seth and all that, but I actually go by Maisie now!!!! Cause I'm trans!! Seth's still an awesome name tho and I ain't got beef with it.
2. The boykisser fursona in caveman bit number 2 is mine!!! I know there's like controversy around people using that meme, but I think it's cute and I got it as an emergency commission from a really good friend of mine who's super nice :) It's my only commissioned sona art lol. Her name is also Maisie!!
