Issue #2 first draft complete

Sup. I done finished the first draft of the second issue of Cosmophobics. We're halfway there... to having the first drafts of everything done. No clue where that puts us in terms of the whole actual thing being finished. But anyway I just wanted to update the increasingly shrinking small number of people that are still here and give a shit about my progress so far.

I'm having a lot of fun writing this, and in a bazillion years hopefully you'll have fun reading it. The writing is going ...

Update: The possible title for my next project

Just wanted to throw out a quick lil update for yall. I've finished the first draft of the first issue of that 4 issue arc I talked about last post. Also I don't remember where I was at last time I made a post, but I also have the whole thing outlined, so it's really just a matter of getting the lil fucker written out now.

The new working title for it is Cosmophobics: Nine to Die. The sorta dream plan is this little first 4 issue arc is kinda it's own thing, and then I would go on to wr...

Still Going

Sup everyone, just wanted to give a lil' update so you know I'm not dead. Been pretty lost after the release of On Thin Ice. But I've finally figured out what I want to do next.

I've been slowly working on an original story, as in no IP, not glorified fan fiction etc. I don't have a title yet, but right now the plan is a 4 issue arc. How will I actually get that made? No fucking clue, but I'm just having fun writing it at the moment. Minor spoilers ahead.

Ok so the pitch: Die Ha...

I went and outlined a Nesbit comic because something is truly wrong with me.

At the moment this is what I want to make next more than anything lol. With the Etalus comic being such a downer, I realized I want write something with a lighter tone and an unambiguous happy ending.

I'm back

I figured I should probably make a post here, just so that the most recent post isn't the one of me shutting things down forever lol.

Anyway I'm back, but now it's all about comics instead of youtube videos. I'll be honest, I hate all this social media shit. I just wanna write comics. This patreon is just for people that like me and my writing and want to make more comics from me happen now. There aren't going to be many special personal posts like this, nor much extra exclusive patreo...

GGs

When I started this patreon it was with the idea that I would regularly make youtube videos. Currently with everything that has just happened and is going on in my life right now I have no plans to do that, and so I do not feel comfortable accepting money from you guys now.

No need to freak out or worry, I'm still working and doing good. I'm even still working on some annual secret Rivals stuff and still plan to finish Grassroot Elements the Rivals Doc. I just wanna make sure you're al...

New year

So unfortunately I don't really got much new to say this time around. Basically I'm more or less in the same position as last time. I've got two secret projects that I'm working on and they're now at the point where it's taking up most of my free time. I can't really stream regularly, and idk if I can squeak out a video during this time. Hopefully things will settle a bit next month but as time goes on I think it'll actually only get more intense for me. So I'll just clarify that not only are...

Totally didn't forget about these

Oh gosh is it already that time again. Time for Adam Carra to ramble some text onto a page.

I think I'm mostly through my bout with burnout, but it's some bad timing. Getting the Doom video out of my system was really helpful I think, and now my mind is flowing with ideas for future videos. I've had an idea for another Doom video, also I really want to do a P+/PM video at some point, and I know how I'd do it now I think. And I still eventually want to do a "What Smash does better than ...

I'm a bit broken

Ok it's been a while since I've made a video and I know people are probably curious what the heckers checkers is going on.

Whelp I underestimated how easy my job was going to be. You see I got my old job as a Teen Mentor back, only it's not really my old job, it's basically a new job since it's all remote. I wont bore you with the details but basically I help kids with their school work. I did Youtubing in the past working there physically but doing it remote has really thrown my routi...

Definitive happened now what?

Ok it's time again for ol' Adam to tell yall what's going on. Turns out not much. I have lots of ideas for what videos I could do, but I really don't know what I WANT to do. Lots of potential with the advent of Rivals Definitive Edition, but I don't really want to be a "utility" channel, which is the kind of channel I call that just posts stuff because of timing. For example something along the lines of "New features in Definitive Edition" or something to that effect. I could easily make a vi...

Adam Carra time of the Month

Ok let's see what the heckers checkers is going on in my life? ... Oh yeah I'm no longer in financial dire straights, at least for now anyway. I finally got my unemployment sorted out, and by "I" I mean that the system finally got to me and got its shit together. I got paid for all the unemployment I should have gotten since MARCH!

Anyway now for some sad news. I'm in a big giant period of the dreaded Youtuber burnout. I have been for some time, but I only really became aware of it rec...

Sup

In deep in my Depth of Rivals Character Design video, should be done pretty soon sauce. Time still an illusion quarantine yadda yadda, nothing much has changed for ya boi since last month this time around.

My next video is gonna be a spotlight thing of Sai's workshop characters, should be pretty straight forward. Gonna be a good ol' Adam talky at the camera one where I just discuss how cool all of their characters are. Sai's characters have sorta flown under the radar of my workshop st...

Year is half over woooo

This is a tough ass year yall. Like so much crazy stuff going on back to back, and I'm pretty sure it's just gonna continue for a long time.

So anyway my next video is going to be a talky one about Slippi and Melee in general. I've been thoroughly enjoying slippi, and it's one of the few good things to come out of this year. I also wanna take it easy, because the two more scripted video essays I've done were a lot of work, especially the Doom video which was the most work in a video sin...

The world is one fire, but Adam's doing ok

HAND UPDATE: I got me one of them track ball mouses, specially this one if you care.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753P1GTS

So far it's going pretty good as I can edit without my hand wanting to escape from my arm and join the circus. As long as I take breaks every hour and do stretches.

Any-who I'm currently exporting my Wavedashing video at the time of writing this, and it feels real...

The Melee Target test video is cursed

Just an addition to my recent tweet which you can find here:  https://twitter.com/Adam_Carra/status/1257749213716209664

My hand is hella messed up at the moment and it's at the point where I gotta prioritize it's health over editing which really bums me out.

So this video I keep pushing back is being pushed back even farther lol.

But this is basically going to effect eve...

Oh my good golly gosh is it another month already?

Like many people I'm losing track of time with the world ending and everything. Anywho updates on my life coming atcha.

Just finished up the differences between Smash and Rivals video, hopefully that goes well. Something new is happening with my videos, since I'm just doing mostly long talky stuff I'm starting to get sick of my own voice lol.

Next video will be that Melee target test video I keep talking about provided I still have the audio and gameplay and footage, haven't check...

I'm Back

Ok in case you don't know the reason I've been going dark with youtube and stuff for like the past month was because I was working on the Rivals Direct 2. It was probably pretty obvious, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise.

So yeah Dan contacted me a good while before the apocalypse that we all live in now started, and then flew me and Stefan over to his place in Washington on the first week of March to film the direct. It has all been a crazy wild ride, and then ever since I got ba...

Bad but good

Ok after much stress and deliberation I've decided that I will be unable to post to youtube for a hot minute.

I've taken on a couple of projects and I can't balance everything and something's gotta give, and that something is gonna be youtube videos for a small amount of time.

Should only be for like 3-4 weeks at most.

It sucks because of my current momentum and I'm afraid what a lack of uploads will do to it, but in the end I know that one of the things I'm working on wi...

A Brand New World... I mean post

Hey wow it's already another month and I'm not just typing to the void hoping that they'll eventually be people here, there actually are people here now!

Ok so these posts are gonna typically be about 3 things:

1) How the past month went

2) What I wanna do in the near future

3) How my life is going in general (if you care)

1) January was a good month for me

My channel has been doing pretty good, fairly steady growth and a bump ...

Wow you can finally give ME money?!

Not gonna lie, I fully expect you the person reading this to be one of a very few. Let's be realistic gang, Rivals isn't that popular and neither is me.

But YOU believe in me which is crazy and amazing, and I can't thank you enough.

So I've made this patreon because honestly things are starting to get tight financially and I'm getting old. I like editing and I like it probably too much because it takes me a long time to produce the content that I do. When I put a shitload of work...
