For our first episode of Deep Linkers, we’re joined by Nick Nocturne, whose channel Night Mind has championed independent unfiction projects with exhaustive analysis since 2015. His academic explainers tackle everything from Slenderman alternate reality games (ARGs) to Adult Swim’s WHAM CITY COMEDY; the existential puppet horror of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared to the hidden messages behind the Internet celebrity Poppy.
Even if you’ve never heard of an alternate reality game, you’ll want to check out this interview, where Nick, appearing in avatar form, offers insights about finding and sustaining passion, how to handle burnout and gardening creative content. Yes, gardening.
