I play the video game Stray, while telling stories about cats.

Corrections / Clarifications:

- I conflated two things - Slylock Fox and Sly Cooper. It was Sly
Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus.

- Controllers work better when charged. I kept having issues with
mine because it was almost dead and kept turning off. Then I
plugged it in and edited out all that fail, but I still make
reference to it in the commentary.

- I also was running it with neither "Presentation mode" set to on
(disabling monitor power saving) nor the screensaver disabled, so
the monitor would turn off after 15 minutes of me just using the
controller. I've since added a wrapper script which sets those
things so I don't forget. I edited most of that out, but still
occasionally reference that happening.

- It turns out that the reason that I never saw Half the Sky and
China Marines is because they never got made. They were proposed
feature films for which Ron Cobb did some concept art.
