I’m Jordan 👋🏻I make video essays on a variety of topics in addition to occasional streaming. Cohost at @dropindropoutpod.bsky.social 🧵CognitiveClips 🎮CognitiveGlitch
The cat can now safely be let out of the bag… I am honored to say I was part of the jury panel (judges’ panel?) for @gamesforchange.bsky.social Awards 2026!!! Mental health is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time, and I love to weave discussions into my content creating. (1/3)
In both 2025 and 2026, a French composer with no previous experience in video game scoring has kicked down the door with the best soundtracks of the year 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 @expedition33.bsky.social @nicoggn.bsky.social
My heart wanted the STUNNING collector’s edition but trying to show at least *some* restraint these days with my spending
The alternate voice line from Pepper is hysterical 🤣 #StarFox #StarFox2026
Absolutely flying through House of Leaves 😳 I’ve read more between Sunday afternoon and Monday night than i’d read for the entire year preceding it. Once I wrap this up, gotta jump straight to the relevant @jacobgeller.com essay in “How a Game Lives”
Thanks to @planofattack.bsky.social , I’ve been playing a lot of #ClockworkAmbrosia for the past several days 🤩 video essay/ Metroidvania breakdown is in the works but in the meantime, I have to share this early-game moment that cracked me up 😂
HYPNOS: The Maze Chronicles, the latest game from @redlockstudio.bsky.social , has you exploring The Nameless City in search of a mysterious boy who haunts your dreams 👀 huge thanks to Redlock Studio and @pressengine.net for this opportunity! #indiegame #indiedev #videogames #hypnos
Working on a video for this (courtesy of @redlockstudio.bsky.social and @pressengine.net ) and it’s hard to focus on that because I’m too busy hitting the screenshot button and picking my jaw up off the floor
The developers at @rusticpandagames.bsky.social are cooking up a Zelda-inspired action RPG with a choice-and-consequences based narrative, and I got to dive into the demo build! Huge thank you to Rustic Panda and the folks at @pressengine.net for the chance to try Colossus - Eternal Blight!
Snippet from my video essay on @remedygames.com ‘s Control! Check out the full essay here: youtu.be/vcz8lucX21g
The Board must be onto something because today I snagged the reprint of the @remedygames.com Control art book the same week I’m finally putting out a video essay on the game 😏🔻see y’all on Friday!
It was phrased a little wonky, sure (Nintendo gonna Nintendo), but if even ***i*** could figure out to just click the link on the announcement to the Yoshi store page to check out the price differences myself, surely major news outlets could have done the same

Between my Lumière-themed ACNH island and my new wall art, one might surmise i thought @expedition33.bsky.social was… pretty good 😂
Had some setbacks this past week (c’est la vie) but hoping to have this out for the weekend! Until then, enjoy the thumbnail i cracked myself up making 😂
I wrapped up my first playthrough of #MetroidPrime4 last night 🥹 there were a couple of missteps, but this was an overall fantastic experience that I’ll be playing over and over for years to come
#MetroidPrime4 is absolutely STUNNING!! Having a blast so far. First 3 hours flew by 🤩
Chump change for some, but this is very important for me! For my latest essay, I made a conscious effort to focus on positivity and my own excitement for Metroid Prime 4 rather than trying to pick apart and yell about the criticism i thought was overblown. Maybe i would have gotten even more
#MetroidPrime4 is almost here, so I gotta be quick — here’s a recap of the first #MetroidPrime in under 30 seconds ⏰
Honestly not sure what should upset me more: the full second of silence, or the booing that followed 😂😂 love the @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social crew!! @timgettys.bsky.social @blessingjr.bsky.social @rogformer.bsky.social
