Video: Weird Processors

Added 2023-10-21 19:45:17 +0000 UTC

Workshopping the name etc on this one. I've been having a really rough time the last few weeks with health issues and other stuff, hopefully things will get better soon, but I decided I couldn't put everything on hold indefinitely so I went ahead and wrote and shot this video entirely while dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety, so... if it has a weird energy, that's why.

This is one of those videos where I'm not super satisfied with the result, but not sure I could actually have done anything that would make me happier. My biggest concern is that, you know, I start out by saying "word processors suck and they're boring so I'm not gonna talk about them in detail", and then when I later go "so this thing is just like any other word processor" people are going to think "okay but you never really showed us what those are like, so I don't know what that means."

The problem is that in order to fix this I would have had to spend another 30 minutes demonstrating everything about word processors, and that in turn would have lost an even bigger chunk of potential audience, so... I decided to go with being snarky and glossing over it, and I hope that was the right call.

In general I also feel like it's kind of disjointed, like I pop from topic to topic, and then the splitting-up of the two PC software demos is odd... but again, I just don't know how else I could have done it, and sometimes it's more important that I get a video done about something than hold out for the perfect video, so. The can is kicked, hope it's a good shot.
