Cusp Thinker

I'm Ed, and Cusp Thinker is a cozy corner of YouTube for folks who appreciate a strategy game's meta but won't reduce play to one optimal routine.

As we play, I'll think out loud; sharing is caring. You can weigh in on the plans, the second-guesses, and the gloriously suboptimal choices made on purpose because they make sense. The thinking is the point.

I'm a variety player, but I don't flit. When a game captures my attention, I sink my talons in and dig deep until there's nothing left, then glide off to the next. Expect grand strategy, turn-based tactics, RPGs, city-builders, and sims; games like Europa Universalis, Victoria, Civilization, Baldur's Gate, XCOM, Anno, and Disco Elysium, plus whatever's caught my eye. Calm commentary to think along with and help shape, or leave on as cozy background noise while you ponder other things. All thinkers are welcome.

The owl thinks before it moves. Think on it, and join the Roost where the night owls gather. See you on the cusp, thinker.
