| Okay, time for a little shameless self-promotion if you'll allow me. | |
| And I do apologise if I'm telling you things you already know. | |
| Please feel free to ignore this video. | |
| But I've had a lot of new subscribers recently, so I thought it might be worth telling people that I actually have two other channels. | |
| The first one is a gaming channel called Vevictus, where I have done a Necromancer development stream, so you can go and see me actually working on the game if you would like to see that. | |
| It was actually a huge amount of fun to do once I finally got the software working, and I'll definitely be doing more in future. | |
| I do do other things on this channel. | |
| I either stream multiplayer games or conversations about gaming. | |
| I'll do occasional sort of long plays of games that I'm playing, like with the Civ 5 mod there. | |
| Or I'll do a let's play of an old game from my childhood, like you can see with Speedball 2 there. | |
| And very occasionally, I'll do sort of the sort of more investigative stuff that I do on this channel, as you can see with the Sunset Why It Failed video. | |
| I know, I know, I apologise for the self-promotion, but I've had a lot of new subscribers to this channel since I founded that channel, and I thought maybe it'd be worth letting people know it exists. | |
| My other channel is a history-focused channel called Ancient Recitations, where I recite ancient texts as audiobooks, and I've just begun doing these sort of explorations of historical sites, where I record things and then do a voiceover afterwards to give people information about them. | |
| I actually really adore recording the audiobooks. | |
| It's actually, it's surprisingly relaxing to do. | |
| And afterwards, I've started doing commentaries on them after requests, just to fully explore some of the themes or information in the book that might not be immediately obvious, or to provide some context of what's going on. | |
| The next book I'm doing, the one I'm currently in the middle of recording, I'm about two-thirds of the way through now, is The Prince by Machiavelli. | |
| And it's, I've read it before, but it's such a good read, and I'm really looking forward to finishing it. | |
| I've been working on it for about two weeks now, so it's coming along slowly but surely. | |
| It's longer than most of the other things. | |
| I think it'll be the longest book on there. | |
| It'll probably top out about three hours. | |
| Anyway, sorry about the self-promotion. | |
| I was originally doing this video just to highlight to people, hey, I've done a live stream where I've been developing Necromancer, so as an sort of addition to the stream I did with Varilo and the other guy the other day, just so people could see that it is in progress. | |
| But then I thought, well, I may as well just turn it into a self-promotion video. | |
| I'm not a big fan of doing self-promotion, so again, I apologise. | |
| But I mean, should I feel weird about shilling my own stuff? | |
| I feel like I shouldn't feel weird about it, but I still do. |
