I'm a full time academic, a long-time gamer, musician, and general nerd. I love to analyze things to death. The Academic Foxhole is the place I've created on the internet to bring like-minded people together. This place is friendly and welcoming and I hope you have a great time with us. I do blind playthroughs of story heavy games and games that will give us all feels or lots of things to debate about and grapple with. I'm currently streaming from a PS4 on Saturday and streaming from my Mac on Thursdays...I'm aiming to add some tabletop RPG goodness to this stream, but let's see how scheduling goes! **On Trigger Warnings and Content Disclosures:** I tend towards intense games that are emotionally heavy. Since I play these games blind, I don't always know what triggers there might be in the game. However, because the games are intense, I know that there will invariably be things that will be triggers for those who suffer from PTSD and mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. Please take care of yourselves and know that the games I stream may not be for everyone. You can always use the !content command to find out what I do know about the game. If useful, I'll also link to the ESRB ratings page. **SHOUTOUT TO: Xjere, who made our awesome emotes!**

This is a thoughtful and intentional space. No spoilers. Please do speculate on what you think might happen in the game, but if you know the secrets, let me discover it my self. No backseat gaming--which for me means sitting back and criticizing the playing of the game. I do love it when we all kibbutz about what to do next though! I like to think I'm playing with you all, so I like to know what you all think. No racism, sexism, trans or homophobia, or any other sort of bigotry. No hate speech. Just don't be a jerk, y'know? Other people on the internet are human beings, too. Be kind and respectful. Also be kind and respectful to yourself! Philosophizing always welcome! #Commands! !content --Are you wanting to know the content disclaimers for the games I'm currently playing? Check here. They will probably be incomplete, but it is a starting place. !whatisthis--What are you watching? This command will let you know! !llearned --Find out what we've learned in the foxhole !death -- How many times have I died? !moredeath -- If there's a TPK?

Because academics never really have time off, my schedule is a bit erratic--I have to go to conferences and give keynotes randomly.

I'm a full time academic so you don't have to donate, or give bits, or subscribe for me to survive the winter. But you can if you are so inclined...in which case, click the tip jar, subscribe, or do the bits. If you do, you have my deepest gratitude, and I will take it as a sign appreciation of the space we've created here together. That said, I'm producing RPGs on this channel and I make sure to play the cast and for the graphics and the music. The RPGs are funded by a combination of my pocket, tips, bits, and patreon. Any tips and bits you drop while I'm streaming RPGs will go to support those RPGs. If you want to help me produce these RPGs more, join the patreon over on http://patreon.com/academicfoxhole Other ways to support? Retweet my random going live tweets! Follow the Academic Foxhole and chat here in chat or in the Discord! Being part of the community is the thing I appreciate the most!

Last Goal: 1500 Followers. For 1500 Followers, I got a new mic and a Rodecaster Pro...I still have to set them up though! **Next Goal: 3000 Followers. I don't know yet. Let me ponder...**
