Hello, stranger! I'm Mark, a software engineer in Seattle who pursues various things in his free time, like game development, spartan race training, learning Japanese, and more. All in all, I'm centered around just making more human and less attention-grabby content. Hopefully I'll continue to keep it as real as I can. Thanks for dropping by!

Software I Use:
Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, and Photoshop
Blender 3D, Godot, OBS

Check out the links below for some other great resources!

If you're reaching out about business inquiries, affiliations, etc., please note: I am not able to take affiliations at this time, and I am not interested in outsourcing my editing. Thanks!

I've unfortunately had to be a little quiet lately... Am curious: any interest in art videos?

I miss making videos. Have some footage that I can't use but been heavy on sketching recently.

I'm moving to Seattle in about 2 weeks! Any interest in vlogs? I don't get out much, but maybe it'd give me a good excuse to just... film life? From parkour, to running, to hiking, and whatever is under the rainy clouds over there.

It's going to take me a little while to connect with making content I enjoy in a format I enjoy again, but I promise that I'm going to keep working at it :D

Apologies for the lack of livestreams this week! I'm still trapped in a bit of a cycle trying to figure our a schedule that works for me for various things. I might just make them later and longer one day of the weekend instead of each morning, that way there's more progress between each one, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Stay tuned, and a huge thanks to those who were stopping by the streams 🐦

Hey, all! Apologies for the flakiness of the dev streams (even though we're two weeks in 😅) and all. I'll be traveling this week (while working- shoutout to a remote job!) so I doubt I'll film anything, but here are the videos you can expect to see this month!

⌚ Smartwatch Tech Review Video
🦘 Parkour in NYC
🛫 Maybe a travel vlog?
📔 Good 'ol reading ramble

And of course, potentially more... but we'll see how I do. Thanks for 5K, and here's to the next 5K! 🎉

We've got a short-ish video coming out tomorrow, and then I'm taking a bit of a break for two or so weeks! Gotta focus on my classes (not that videos have been consistent in the first place, but so I can get them off my mind care-free). Best of luck to anyone also wrapping up their semester or anything, and keep on keepin' on to everyone in general! 🔥🔥

No video tomorrow... I didn't like how it was recorded nor how I presented my thoughts on the topic. So I'm just going to drop it!

We'll be back next week with some more typing sites... after getting a bunch of comments about some I totally missed out on. See ya then, and keep on keepin' on!

We got a fun month ahead! For anyone scrolling through, I just wanted to give you a sneak peek at the videos I've got planned for this month- there's a nice mix so hopefully at least one of them will be something you can look forward to! 🔥 (All titles are working titles, feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you think)

Aug 5 - Pros and cons of gamification in language learning apps (using Hey! Lingo)
Aug 12th - How to get better at typing special characters
Aug 17th - A little devlog of a small web project I've been working on... that will remain secret for now 👀
Aug 19th - Study vibes ASMR (lots of support on my first attempt! haha)
Aug 23rd - Todoist label and filter rash course
Aug 26th - Techniques for learning on your own (with classes or things your school doesn't offer)
And of course the language learning logs on each Saturday!

I usually aim for 7 to 8 videos a month but often only hit 4 to 5, so we'll see how this goes, but I'm driven to get these all out on Mondays and Thursdays as originally planned! I hope everyone has a killer month of August 🎶

Hey friends!

Over on the Discord I'm going to be hosting a "Ted Talk Tuesday" where we chill in a Discord voice channel, watch ted talks, and discuss 'em! Tuesdays aren't the best days but the alliteration worked very well... it'll be around 1pm EST on August 3rd.

If that sounds like your kinda thing, join the Discord! :D -- discord.gg/EGwrUgQ (We have other events sometimes too and various discussions on things so definitely come on by- we'd love to have ya!)

Hey, gamers! Giving away 3 Discord Nitro codes because...

no devlog this week. I'm messing around with my priorities and (evidently) still need to destress. I figured I should have at least a small something in terms of accountability so I'll be giving away 3 Nitro codes on the Discord...! Unsure if that's entirely exciting, but hey why not. I'll have to think of something for the future as well 🤔

The devlog WILL be out tonight and I got a great amount of stuff done. My class ended up going over and so I want to take the time for a good thumbnail and the time to review the video (here's the image of it rendering for proof!) and thus it'll be out past 8pm

If I don't see you in le comments later tonight, I hope to see you in the comment tomorrow morning 🔥 Now I know to start editing Thursday nights when I have a 4 hour class in the middle of my Friday...

I hope everyone has had a brilliant week so far! Keep on keepin' on
