Do you have fun making the videos? Is this a hobby or something that you feel driven to do
[–] PaperMarioGuy [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
It's a hobby and I like making them. To keep it fun I don't set myself too much of a rigorous schedule. Being able to make things that are permanent and I can be proud of is a refreshing break from the soulless uninteresting drag that school can be.

I was expecting an informative video that was good for a 13 year old, but that was legitimately good.
Do you think you'll ever make long-form, critical/argument videos? I think they'd be up your alley.

So how did you get started making educational videos? What was your inspiration and how do you pick your topics? I like your style for the educational videos so keep it up!
[–] PaperMarioGuy [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I got started because I watched quite a few educational channels and just thought it would be cool to do some videos of my own. I would say my biggest inspiration is CGP Grey. And I just do videos on whatever interests me (I'm currently working on a video explaining the European union) the main constraint with making videos is a shortage of time, not topics.

Quick question about the video: what about irc?
[–] PaperMarioGuy [S] ago (edited ago)
(Sorry about not getting to you right away). While writing the video I was aware that irc existed. However, because it's a bit different from regular IM services as you post things in channels instead of sending messages directly from person to person. I decided to ignore it to prevent confusion and keep the video shorter.

Ah, it's alright, makes sense. Great recap on IM btw.
