This is more personal than my other videos, so please do not feel any pressure to watch it. This is for myself and my family + friends first and foremost. It was written and recorded one year ago, when my grandma passed away. I wrote it over the course of a single, difficult day -- and recorded it over the course of two long nights.

The games covered:
-- A Short Hike: 0:00 - 8:19
-- Night in the Woods: 8:19 - 21:19
-- Outer Wilds: 21:20 - 39:06
-- Conclusion (A Thank You to my Loved Ones): 39:07 - 43:15

It's the shortest amount of time it's taken me to write something and the longest it's taken me to edit. I finished it a while back and sat with it for a bit, not sure how ready I was to share it.

This is my story.

I do want to make more personal essays in the future, though perhaps not as tough as this one. If you do decide to watch, thank you for spending time with it. We will return to our regularly scheduled programming in the next one.
