Who is Magi anyway?

So, in Blaugust tradition (despite the silence on my part for the past few days), I figured I should introduce myself again. There’s many new faces in the blogging community and there are many people on my blog who also have literally no idea who I am, so I’d imagine that this could be kinda rad? Idk. Anyway.

I’m Magi or Dan and I’m a blogger, variety streamer and student from Germany who is very passionate about a plethora of topics and hence likes writing and talking about them.

I love Indie Games and wanted to showcase them on here but I also “yap” a lot about other topics that I find important, so you might notice my lefty attitude in my writing here and there.

I started blogging five years ago in mid-July with the intent of publishing reviews on games that I liked a lot and have been doing that since then. For two years, I was even publishing posts daily but I eventually stopped doing that because I was no longer doing it for the sake of blogging… but for the sake of blogging daily aka keeping a streak alive that nobody cares about and whatnot. Very unhealthy.

Overall, since then, motivation has been rough for me. Between my mental and physical health deteriorating, my chronic headaches still existing, my situation at university being a bit iffy socially (post on that another time?), my studies going well but taking up a lot of time, and other hobbies occupying my life, I have been struggling to find time and motivation to write.

I mean, I wrote a total of about 20-something posts this year so far and I intend to write 31 posts this month. You can tell that I’ve been slacking, haha, but it’s fine. I don’t want this to turn into “work”, so to speak, so I’ll just take things one step at a time and try to get over the hurdle of posting more than anything. “No Pressure” – The Kooks, in a great song.

I’ve also streamed for the past five years, starting that hobby back in November of 2019, so nearly half a year after starting to blog, and I’m having a blast doing just that. I showcase indie games, chat a lot, do some art streams, play the ukulele, and build a community, you know, the usual.

As of late, I’ve also been uploading videos onto YouTube but that’s also just yet another hobby of mine, I guess. At least I’ve been sticking to daily uploads on there so far for Blaugust. Huzzah!

Overall, that’s basically what I do online and on here, more personally, I’m an open-minded and friendly person that tries to make the world a bit better step by step by being the change they wanna see in the world and by leading by example. I try to keep an open mind, give people the benefit of the doubt, and communicate directly when I believe there’s an issue.

Coined by being the outsider throughout my life as someone queer with a migration background in a small (and very white) town in Germany… and some for of neurodivergency… I’ve got a lot of baggage, essentially, and try to work through that on my own or via therapy. It’s hard, though, so I sometimes write about that and it helps… or I hyper-fixate on specific hobbies, like drawing, music, acting, streaming, writing, etc. to help cope with stuff or to put my feelings to paper.

Aside from that, I believe in the supernatural and it’s one of my guilty pleasures to watch paranormal investigation stuff on YouTube, even if it’s very blatantly faked or overexaggerated. It’s kinda fun to believe in that stuff, right?

I also do believe in a God although I’m not too religious. There’s a post in there, too, since my relationship to faith is a tad complicated but I think it has merit to believe in something, be it a cause or a deity, so I might talk about that.

I do advocate for the destigmatization of mental health topics frequently on my stream and try to give a platform to marginalized people but I also haven’t done much of that as of late, sadly, just because the spoons have been too low for it.

Overall, uhm, I’m pretty chill, I guess, and if you have any questions about literally anything, feel free to just ask me. I’ll try to post more frequently and I hope this post marks a starting point for that but if not, that’s fine, too. Hey, at least I participated this year again, haha.

(Oh, btw, content scraping sucks but ever since I started having this section below my posts, it stopped happening as often! Do recommend! 9/10!)
