I know I'm late to the party, but @dotzip.online is absolutely fantastic!
The love they show to games that usually don't get as much spotlight is so wonderful.
They've become a huge inspiration on how I want I want to change my videos when I make my return.

This week we talk about mechanical-keyboard-simulator DEAD LETTER DEPT. There's also something in there about your job slowly sucking the life out of you or something?? Idk, I only remember the keyboard sounds.
