Elden Ring is the kind of game that you spend 100 hours playing and at the end you're not quite sure if you know more about it than you did before starting. There is a whole cottage industry of lore breakdown videos, and I dodged most of them on purpose, to try and see what dots my brain will connect on its own. This video is the messy result of that drive.

Last Minute Essays is a creative project of mine, made solely because I know people prefer listening to rambling to reading it. And there's a lot of rambling that comes out of my brain which I want to get out into the world somehow.
