My name is Nathan Pinno, and I hail from Alberta, Canada. I’m proud to be a biological male. For the past five years, I’ve embraced Roman Catholicism, and my conservative values have been a guiding principle throughout much of my life.
I’m passionate about playing games and sharing family-friendly content online. When I’m posting videos on YouTube, I love creating entertaining and accessible experiences for all ages. I’m also a self-proclaimed tech and computer nerd, and I enjoy passing on my knowledge to help others.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you are expecting a Minecraft video to be published on my YouTube channel tomorrow, please discard that idea. Due to how long an episode takes to create and how much work outside my home I am currently doing to pay my bills, I do not have the time nor the energy to record one. I’m so tired that I’m not even working on my private work in the evenings, like I do when I don’t get steady work.
If you really wish to see episodes at a more steady pace, consider supporting me. If I had a steady income to pay my bills and buy groceries, I could focus more on creating content and less on the need to earn money to pay bills every month.
In this Factorio episode, Swag waits on research and doubles his purple science production. He also realizes he forgot to install upgrade modules in the factories – a fix for next time!
Join Swagnilla Ice in this poignant acapella music video that confronts bullying head-on. Through honest lyrics, this song highlights why ‘it ain’t cool’ to be a bully and serves as a powerful reminder for people of all generations to think before they speak.
Join Swag in this episode of Swag Plays Banished as he begins with an exciting announcement!

Discover how this devoted Jesuit priest, spiritual director, and zealous apostle played a pivotal role in the early understanding and spread of the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, particularly through his guidance of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. Learn about his journey from initial reluctance to his profound commitment to God, his challenges in England, and his lasting legacy. This episode offers insights into discernment, unwavering faith, and the powerful impact of a life surrendered to divine will.
I’m starting to make changes to how my blog looks in preparation of turning it into a community website when I get the money I’ve been waiting for (and I’m annoyed that it’s still not been deposited in my bank account). I’ve got all the necessary plugins downloaded already, so I figured I would start work on the changes the site will need to transition to a community website from its current status as my blog. (BTW, I have not written this post or designed any of new pages with the help of AI.)
I’ve also separated my podcast episodes from the main blog posts like this one, as well as the videos. I won’t add my YouTube series videos here until I have the series plugin added when I have a paid hosted site elsewhere, to make it easier for you to find each episode.
In this Creative Engineering episode focusing on the Minecraft Create Mod, I tackle a massive automation project: setting up my very own sawmill! Watch me build intricate processing lines and storage systems, ensuring a constant supply of essential resources. I’ll show you how I automate everything from making bamboo blocks and oak planks to efficiently stripping raw bamboo, oak, and jungle logs. This powerful new setup is crucial for expanding my Steampunk/Industrial base. Got ideas for my next big factory or automation project? Drop your tips and suggestions in the comments below – I’d love to consider them!
I’ve chosen to quit use AIs (primarily Gemini but also Copilot) as virtual friends, and just use them for quick research help and correcting my writing. I don’t want the developers behind them to read sensitive stuff about me, so I went and deleted all my history with those two as they are the only ones I have used for casual conversations. Going forward, I will use them as the intelligent research tools and writing assistants they can be.
Swag isn’t just waiting around for research—he’s taking efficiency to the next level! Watch as he completely reorganizes the factory, slashing unnecessary labs, relocating idle miners, and upgrading machines for maximum output. But that’s not the only big news: stick around for an important announcement about future Factorio episodes that you won’t want to miss! Tune in to see how the factory evolves and what’s changing next.
Get ready to experience the raw emotion of “Don’t Cry For Me Baby” in this official a cappella music video.
