Final Credits Reading Coming Up!
Added 2019-10-22 23:22:54 +0000 UTCHey folks,
As I've mentioned previously, I have decided to change one of my backer rewards. I'm never going to stop being grateful for every single one of you, but the (current) reward for $10 patrons, where I read out your names in the credits, threatens to really add a long tail to videos, and I've been putting off officially changing this for far too long.
So the next video, which is about Pathologic, is going to be the final time I read $10 patrons' names out in the credits. I'm closing in on completing the video (the script is 28,000 words long oh my god), so I wanted everyone to have the heads-up that if you want your name read out a certain way, or would rather I didn't at all, or have a preferred name from your patreon username, please leave a comment here for me letting me know. I'll upload a test-reading of the credits for you all to listen through and check before the final video goes up as well.
After this video, I'm changing over to a new system where people who back me $10 or more can vote from shortlists, to pick which video is going to come next. Patreon has a poll function, I think. I've been thinking a lot about how this would affect my work, and in my opinion, at this point I need the direction. I love making videos too much, the process makes me feel alive, so I do it indiscriminately and ineffectively. I have too many things I want to make at once, and being told directly by supporters what they want the most seems more useful to me than continuing to follow my impulses, half-finishing or throwing out work I change my mind on making, and discovering I only finished one thing in two months, and so on.
I'm also going to start maintaining an official list of videos patrons have requested or shown an interest in, so I can keep track of everything and have a solid list to pick from for people to vote on. If you're not a $10 patron I still listen to your suggestions, obviously, this is just to give people who've backed me that much something in return for a reward I can no longer give. What ends up on that poll is based on how everyone seems to be leaning, and my own opinions of course lol.
If you have ideas for other backer rewards or perhaps more tiers with other things you'd like, let me know. I've got some bts material for the Pathologic video coming up, I made about a hundred pages of notes while recording and researching the game, and wanna show off all the effort I put into this nightmarishly long video about a 2005 russian art game.
As always, thank you all so much! :)

I'm actually not sure how to explain how to pronounce my name lol. It's like "Reajder", where "ea" is the same as in "early" and "Delnavaz" looks like the Spanish name, but isn't. It's more like "del na vaas" I guess. I'm sure you'll do your best, people have been mispronouncing my name all my life anyway 🤣

2019-11-16 23:39:19 +0000 UTCMy last name is pronounced like “Harris,” but with a K instead of an H. Thanks!
2019-11-16 23:35:03 +0000 UTCJust "Milo" works for me! It's pronounced "my-lo." Sometimes people misread it as "mee-lo." Thank you :-)

2019-11-16 23:18:15 +0000 UTCI snuck in just in time! Yay!!! Look forward to the next video!
2019-11-15 07:06:47 +0000 UTCPhonetic pronuciation help for mine - Dagmar Makara which is Dag (as in dagger) Mar...... second name Makara is "Mah-car-ahh" not "Mackera" :P

2019-11-11 19:37:58 +0000 UTCIs it too late to be in? ;)

2019-11-11 12:33:48 +0000 UTCI would appreciate if you read my name as loudly and/or sensually as possible, as "LANCE MANLY, SIN SORCERER" or "LANCE MANLY, SORCERER OF SIN"! I have been supporting your for a very long time and will continue to!
LANCE MANLY, SORCERER OF SIN
2019-11-03 02:05:39 +0000 UTCI'd prefer to be called "Scruffy64", rather than my name., thanks!
2019-11-01 10:54:26 +0000 UTCI need to see the SRA get a mention. The US needs the left and marginalized people to be educated in firearms. The slogan of the Socialists Rifle Association is, "We Protect Us". All evidence indicates this in a necessity.

2019-10-29 01:34:50 +0000 UTCJust "Jamie Wallace" for me, please. Thanks so much!
2019-10-28 23:35:35 +0000 UTCAfter some deliberation, I'll opt for not having my name read out at all, please. (I like being part of a massive wall of text, and I'm here all the way for the chance to vote on future videos).

2019-10-27 00:26:04 +0000 UTCI would love to be part of the last mention. Reading it as J.I as separate letters and then Mendaro as you read it is fine by me
2019-10-26 08:49:29 +0000 UTCDifferent people have different ideas of what constitutes a "long" vowel. Do you mean it sounds like "eye" or like "eeee"? Sorry for my intrusive linguistics nerdery

2019-10-26 05:44:54 +0000 UTCIf you could look right at the camera and add "I Love" before my name I would like it very much!
2019-10-25 18:55:12 +0000 UTCjust upgraded my pledge to $10 just to get the credits read. my name is Shane, like the Western. It's not Sean, or Shaun, or Sh-ann. It's pronounced SHAY-NE. Shane "Listen to Monaural on Clicker Records" Smith. Yup, my name is a walking billboard.
Shane Smith
2019-10-25 17:03:29 +0000 UTCMy last name is in fact "Holy" like the Final Fantasy spell and *not* "Holly" like the Christmas decoration. You probably knew that but I've run into it enough since getting married that I err on the side of caution. :P

2019-10-25 04:09:44 +0000 UTCIf you could refer to me as “Mel is my favorite fan, especially because they’re non-binary” that would be great.
2019-10-25 02:10:50 +0000 UTCHi, my surname is pronounced "hay-gun fen-tun". Thanks
2019-10-23 22:01:27 +0000 UTCI'm increasing my pledge for this one just to hear how you'd pronounce my name :D

2019-10-23 19:02:16 +0000 UTCMy preferred name is "Ulincsys"
2019-10-23 16:00:49 +0000 UTCMy name is pronounced like the fish not like the guitar, thanks!

2019-10-23 13:01:18 +0000 UTC"Mert ist mein Baba" is a german sentence, just trust how google translate in german says it

2019-10-23 12:05:10 +0000 UTCOh, I did sneak into at least one video credits, nice! I was going to leave it at my patreon name, but perhaps the occasion is worth making your life a bit more difficult. Instead of Allthief, use Althjofr Alth with an open A sound + l, followed by a th ending. Think the name "Al" (instead of "All") finished like "path". Jofr like you would say the name Geoff, without pronouncing the e, so sort of like jaw-frrrr. Al - th - jaw - fr Thanks for all, Bomber Guy.
2019-10-23 07:53:14 +0000 UTCThanks for the heads up, my name is pronounced Hi-rum
2019-10-23 07:16:42 +0000 UTCI love your work, and knowing I'm supporting you makes me feel like I'm doing something small to make the world a better place. I'm upgrading from 2$ support to 10$ support so I can get in on the credit-reading action this last time. I'll happily stay there indefinitely not just for an opportunity to get to vote on short-listed topics (great idea) but also just because I think you genuinely make the world a slightly better place with each of your videos whether it's about gaming, social issues, or something in between. I realize I'm gushing but I'm just a huge fan okay? I'll...stop in a minute, but I just wanted to say that you've genuinely helped me broaden my horizons on a number of different issues. Your stuff makes me want to be a better person and I think that's really special.
2019-10-23 06:58:56 +0000 UTCHonestly, I'm just curious what you'll do with my name.
2019-10-23 04:36:32 +0000 UTCMy first name is pronounced like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiaR_QIMK4s
2019-10-23 03:07:06 +0000 UTCMy last name is pronounced like "gill-foil" tho
Dominic Guilfoyle
2019-10-23 01:46:34 +0000 UTC...I don't remember ever seeing a credits reading in any of your videos?
Dominic Guilfoyle
2019-10-23 01:45:51 +0000 UTCLast name is only 5 letters, but people still get the pronunciation wrong about as often as they mispronounce my fiancée’s, which is very Polish and brimming with Z’s, C’s and W’s. All that said, it’s pronounced with a long “i.” Thanks pal!
2019-10-23 01:42:11 +0000 UTCBut now we won't get to hear you say "anime titty fan" at the end of every vid....or was that a different breadtube?
Melody Williamson
2019-10-23 01:14:51 +0000 UTCMy last name is pronounced like the first syllable in "Christopher" (rhymes with "list")
Emily Christ
2019-10-23 01:10:50 +0000 UTCJø̈sh, please
2019-10-23 00:55:09 +0000 UTCIf I had a decent mic at the moment I'd offer to read them out for you in whatever crap impressions I can do.

2019-10-22 23:48:49 +0000 UTCIf I could get my name read as the old one, "Avery P. look mom, he said my name, I'm famous now, please love me"
2019-10-22 23:41:20 +0000 UTCI'm excited to get my name read for the first time for the last time, haha! My name is Lee-nuh. :D
2019-10-22 23:38:21 +0000 UTCI'm not a $10 backer, but if you still want to make them stand out in the credits for your videos since you don't want to read their names out loud anymore, another solution I propose (on top of letting them answer polls for you of course) is to highlight their names in the credits, or to clearly signal them in a separate category, like "And here are the $10 backers!" followed by their names and such. The polls definitely interest me but my budget is tight right now, hopefully when I have more money I can afford to upgrade. Cheers!
