Greetings, I am Keen Fool! At this channel I upload content around gaming and, I am hoping in the future, about mindfulness and connecting to gaming.

Here I upload videos related to let's play series for games, updates to games I am playing, and tips and tricks to help you enjoy your game! I'm looking forward to growing this channel and love the feedback I have gotten so far to help me improve!

Thank you for coming by, if you like what you see please subscribe!

-Who am I?-

I have been a gamer for quite a while. My first computer game was Commander Keen and I have part of my name as a throwback to that. It's also there as it describes me well! My, and maybe your, neurodivergent brain can have brilliant moments as well as utterly foolish moments. I am a dad-gamer and an extensive hobbyist. I have 380+ hours in Medieval Dynasty, over 40 in Sengoku Dynasty (which I am very excited for), 600+ hours in Civ 6 as well as Civ 5, and over 700 Total War series games, and many more.

Greetings y’all,
There’s so much I want to share about and it has been too long since a post. First, thank you. I am grateful for all of you and I love being able to be a part-time content creator. It is sometimes hard for me to keep up, and I thank you for your patience!
Second, 2,500 subscribers?! What?! How amazing is that? I’m not sure I had any thoughts of what could happen, but this is an amazing milestone. Thanks for making it possible.
Third, I loved the slow down and chill series for MD. It was a great mental health space for me. I hope it was helpful for those who were there! The series is “done” in the sense of regularity. I will still do some updates :)
Lastly…what should be next?! Some thoughts people have shared / things I know I have…
A Green Hell play through, a survival game that will test me!
Farthest Frontier, a city planner.
Bellwright, the new update has a lot! This game is getting bigger and bigger!
Something else?! You decide…please feel free to suggest things and up vote by liking other people’s suggestions!

Greetings all, I hope you are well! Thank you to ‪@SarahStinson-m1e‬ for pointing out the large amount of ads in my recent videos. I am not sure why this happened ( I try to be very careful about just having 3-4 ads for longer videos) but I ended up with automatic ads placed WAY too often. These videos have been fixed and there are the right amount now. That was annoying... thank you for keeping me aware, I do not want that many ads. Sorry for the delay on some videos, it's been a busy time this summer! I will have more out as soon as I can! Take care all, best wishes to you and yours.

Greetings! A number of videos will be coming out here today and into this weekend. I am excited to share that the Render Cube Team allowed me to be part of the content creator project and I was able to get access to the Plant a Tree update early and was given a copy of the Echoes of Nature! My Valley chill playthrough video will have some aspects (those that could fit where we are at) and I will make another video this weekend to share out more details! I am excited to share what is coming with you!

As a side note, thank you all for your support and for your patience with me as a father of two and person who tries to be on top of content creation! I do my best to juggle it all and get you good quality content. Thanks for helping me along this journey and for being part of it.

WOW! I just learned a lot about Ads and ad placements in videos. Some of my videos were showing ads almost every 2-3 minutes! Sorry I did not notice this sooner and thank you @cg3251 for pointing this out. I would never have known it was overloading my videos with this many ads. Look forward to waaaaaaay less ads. Thanks for your patience with this new content creator!

I will be going and changing this up as I have time through the next few days. Please feel free to let me know if I missed a video or if one seems way to heavy in Ads.

Sorry! I completely forgot to include the links in the Sengoku video! They have been added and I think the Discord link should now work! Cross fingers...

Thanks for your patience and help!

The verdict is in and a Chill Medieval Dynasty episode it will be! Tonight I will start my Live after I get the little ones to bed, this will be 8:30PM central U.S. Chicago time zone. I will post a link later that you can access! Looking forward to a chill Friday evening with you all. I hope you have a great day until then.
For my “over the pond” folks, have no fear. I am planning to wake up early in March and do a Live with you. It would be 5:00AM central US standard time which is 11AM London time…I can try to get a later time but it will be tricky with little ones!

Alright, it is time for me to get on a Live again. It has been busy but I know I just need to get it to happen. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience! That being said...what should I Live stream?!

The Live will happen next week Wednesday or Friday...

Let's try this again...the Discord link has been updated and set to stay active. I have been having some serious troubles with keeping it from having to be renewed. All settings seem to make sense but I will have to double check, sorry I am fumbling at the Discord! Let's give it a go. Link: discord.gg/WgAv3g2C

I will also be adding my episodes of the Valley Roleplay to Substack where you can find me at substack.com/@keenfool

I hope all is well with everyone. I was also gifted another neon sign and I did not show it off yet! Thank you for the sign from my kind sister in law and her family!
