I have recorded many hundreds of hours of content. I first used Quicktime on MacOS, it worked well enough. Great quality, fast, and easy to use. More recently I moved over to OBS, which I consider to be far superior to Quicktime for one i

Games like EU4 often make me think about the role that video games have in education. It seems as though all educational games are created with a primary goal of "education" and a secondary goal of "fun game". The resul
