To quote Thor. Star citizen is a storefront pretending to be a game.

He's talking about Jason Thor Hall @ https://www.youtube.com/@PirateSoftware

Who's behind https://store.steampowered.com/app/567380/Heartbound/

His middle name is Thor and that's what he goes by (who wouldn't)

He's recently gotten a lot of attention because his YT Shorts have just exploded.

His shorts are great. Thanks for sharing them.

Oh wow, I've seen this guys shorts start popping up constantly. He seems like he understands the algorithm enough to explode

I banish you all for watching YouTube Shorts

Whaaat? C'mon, it keeps us from making TikTok accounts. ...and this Thor guy is really cool. Lol

He's a really good streamer and a great programmer and game developer to boot. He also has ferrets for pets and live streams them. Dude is the whole nerd entertainment package.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

You can get some pretty good gaming info during thunderstorms.

Lol might as well be. Thor. The former Blizzard security dude who turned game Dev and live streams now.
