I have been into gaming ever since childhood in the 80s, starting out on an Atari VCS 2600, then moving on to a C64. These days, I am into all kinds of games, especially Souls-likes, (turn-based) strategy, RPGs and other genres, with my favorite games being Dark Souls 1 and 3 and Bloodbourne.
I will share some Let's play-videos, hopefully some guides on some of my favorite games and much more. Thanks for watching.

Someone in the comments of my video on "Threat of the Trinity" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdbtG...) said: “Quick, tell Majulaar about this!”
So I did… and well... he actually showed up 😄
Really appreciate you taking the time, @Majulaar. Means a lot.
If you haven’t seen his amazing and very well researched Ultima retrospectives yet, fix that here: youtube.com/@Majuular
I have watched these more times than I dare to admit 😄

Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄✨
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you to everyone who watches, comments, shares ideas, gives feedback, and supports this little channel in so many ways. It honestly means a lot to me, and I’m incredibly grateful for this community.
With Christmas around the corner, I’ll probably take things a bit slower this week. No new video just yet... sometimes inspiration needs a little space to breathe. But new content is coming soon: more guides, more essays, and a few other things I’m really looking forward to sharing with you.
Until then, I wish you all happy holidays and all the best for 2026... may it be a good one for you.
Thanks for being here.
Warm greetings from Eric & Maria 🖤

🎉 800 subscribers... thank you!
We recently passed 800 subscribers, and I just wanted to say: thanks for being here.
For watching, liking, commenting, and generally hanging out with me on this channel.
You might’ve noticed there’s been a lot of Of Ash and Steel content lately. That’s simply because many of you asked for specific guides, and I’m happy to deliver when there’s a clear need.
That said: essays and videos about other games are very much on the way again. The broader, reflective stuff isn’t going anywhere.
Thanks for the support, the patience, and the great discussions.
More to come and I’m glad you’re along for the ride. 🖤

Hey everyone!
As you may have noticed, this channel is active again after a longer break, mainly due to some health issues.
Recently, I’ve posted quite a few videos and shorts about Of Ash and Steel because I’m really enjoying that game at the moment.
But don’t worry — there will be other content again as well… my usual mix of videos about classic and modern RPGs and similar topics.
Coming up at the end of the week:
- A small essay/rant on RPG design and one specific element
- Part 2 of my “RPGs You May Have Never Heard Of” series
As always, thanks for being here, for watching, commenting, and for just being awesome!

⚔️ A fan-made remake of Ultima VI? Yes please!
Even though I’m still on a break (resting, healing, recovering after surgery & recharging), I just had to share this small surprise video with you all:
🧙♂️ How to install and play the Ultima VI Fan Remake – complete with step-by-step instructions and a look at the intro & early gameplay.
🎥 Watch here: https://youtu.be/m_oFWwj9VaA
And here's the bonus:
💸 Ultima VII Complete Edition is on sale today on GOG for just €1.29 (or around $1.49) – and you need that as a base to run the remake! www.gog.com/de/game/ultima_7_complete
➕ I’ve added all the download links and game info in the description.
If you're a fan of Ultima or old-school RPGs, I think you’ll enjoy this little trip back to Britannia.
See you (soon) in the dungeons… 🐀

Hey friends, quick life & channel update!
One week post-op and still taking it slow. Recovery is going to take a bit longer, so I won’t be uploading new videos just yet — but I’ve been scribbling down a ton of ideas while resting for when i can sit at the computer again for a bit.
Expect even more indie RPG recommendations (you know I love the weird and wonderful ones), deep dives, and cozy content once I'm back on my feet — literally.
I’m truly grateful for all your kind messages, comments, likes, and subs lately. Your support means the world to me and gives me so much motivation to come back stronger.
Stay tuned — and take care of yourselves, too.

Hey everyone. First of all, thanks soo much for subscribing, likes and commenting. I love the little conversations we're having and the game recommendations you guys are sending.
I produced two more videos a few weeks ago that will go live within the next week. I have to take a small break from producing new content for a while due to health issues and a surgery that I'll have to get trough. Once I have recovered sufficiently, I'll be happy to create new stuff - lots of new ideas in my head, with your recommendations being a big factor.
Thanks so much for watching and supporting and I should be back soon! ♥️
