I run a Youtube channel that covers indie ttrpgs. Here are some of my best pieces:
Going Rogue and Star Wars’ Cynical Rebels
Suffering Games
Spy in the House of Eth and Automating Exploitation
Apocalypse Keys and Desperation to Belong
Mausritter: The Terror of Being Small
I also do a podcast, Mortified! The Friendship Quest, where me and my friend @leylses try to discuss various media objects and do pretty insightful analysis of what makes them work or not.
You can find my main website at aavoigt.com for contact info and my resume, if you're looking to hire a writer, but otherwise, check out the stuff I make! It's good!

This week, @monsterfactoryfanfic and @leylses indulge in the glorious tradition of watching advertisements for video games and going, "Ooh!" "Aah!" or "Neat, but not for me." We did not poison ourselves with Mountain Dew or hot wings this time, but if you have suggestions for future physical trials you can e-mail us at [email protected].
List of highlighted games below the cut at the end of the post!
Mortified! The Friendship Quest is a podcast where two long-distance friends exchange media recommendations and take a dive into things like the Artemis Fowl-to-Sasuke pipeline, making catboys mainstream with James Cameron, and occasionally invite some friends to play TTRPGs or talk about how Yugi Muto inherited male-pattern baldness from Yami Yugi.

this episode feels very strange to publish right now because of the xbox news (and especially because said news comes just ahead of the one-year anniversay of my own layoff at the hands of xbox). but at the same time i think it feels especially important to support indie games and to celebrate the craft of making video games and to highlight devs and the community and the joy of it.
anyway please click through and play some demos or watch some trailers. and please watch at least the latin american games showcase or the india games showcase which were both filled to the BRIM with cool titles.
leave positive reviews on games you like, both on itch or on larger storefronts like steam. they don't have to be profound. "this was fun!" is good enough. talk about the games you like. share them with friends. if you can't pay for a game or support patreons or kickstarters, reblog and comment and do something to boost engagement for the craft you like.
our show has an average audience of like, 30-40 people. if five of them find a new game to be excited about, then i will feel like we've done our job.

embarrassing how much not being able to write at work has fucked me. Occasionally can get something written on my phone. But it’s been nearly half a year and I’ve written… maybe less than 5000 words overall? 2023 Aaron wrote a novel, put out 21 videos, and slush read 70 short stories. I’m getting my ass beat by a 28 year old
