Weekly Navel-Gazing 01.07.2024

Monday is navel-gazing day so that's what I'm doing, now finally back in HD but with just as little actual content because here we believe in keeping standards.

Definitely interested in that video about your ideas. ❤

[@RafBlutaxt]

I'll see if I can cobble something together there then.

Congrats with the new camera 🎉🎉🎉

[@RafBlutaxt]

Thanks! I'm very excited to try out new things with it.

The video with how you came up with ideas sounds interesting.
I myself have had two video ideas for a while, but i'm too nervous (or sometimes my brain is too dead) to actually do them. One of them is about destiny and prophecies and how seemingly every book that has this element has one of two approaches (except for one, which gave me the idea of this video) and the other idea i have is over-thinking time travel

[@RafBlutaxt]

I would definitely watch those two videos. Maybe taking notes on them when you have the brain power would help you to inch closer to a point where you feel confident to record them?

Looking forward to your thoughts on Navola. Adore the windup girl. But haven't read anything else by him, and need to change that! Cheers 🤘

I've also read The Water Knife which is very good and his fantasy stories The Tangled Lands which are a collaboration with Tobias S. Buckell. They too were excellent so I expect another highly engaging read with Navola.

Do you know Michael Knipp. He's a booktuber that sometimes does very interesting discussions on books where he thinks way too hard about things that one shouldn't think about too hard. He's been on a very long break, but recently posted his first video in over a year. He has a couple of very interesting videos

I don't know him but will definitely look him up now. Thanks for the recommendation!
