The script for Shipwrecked 64... is complete. Written, edited, reorganized.
I've not felt this way in a February since House of Leaves, honestly.
Recording begins tomorrow, I think. ::3
Audio, audio, all next week...
Barrels Be Good to You,

2024-02-08 15:22:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe Shipwrecked 64 script is 57 pages, pre-editing session.
I don't usually have dedicated sit-down editing sessions. For this, I am seriously going to have to. The rule of thumb is that each page of script is about 3 minutes of video.
So yeah, you see the issue, right? ::P
Thank you all for being supportive as always and patient as I get this under way. I've been doing the healthy YouTube thing at last after all these years: I've allowed the entirety of my life and...
2024-02-04 03:28:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe next video I'm making is probably one of the most important videos I will ever make in all my coverage and critical analysis of project creation and artistic development.
If you've been following me on the streaming side, you'll already know it's on Shipwrecked 64. I'm not gonna lie--this is going to be a big one. I've really invested the time, I have over 100 GBs worth of footage in recording what I needed to catch, I have phases of how I want to approach this.

Hey everyone,
I think it's time to have a Darkroom session, a nice hangout and conversation time to close out the year. 8w8
We'll be conducting it at 7:00 PM EST on Saturday, December 23rd.
For anyone who is taking part and has voice abilities as part of their tier, you must join with push to talk as your voice function. No background noises or non-talk should be heard through your mic while anyone else is speaking.

2023-12-22 23:24:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Discord's having issues today and it seems a good lot of servers just went offline for awhile. I guess keep checking their Twitter to see when things are resolved.
2023-12-16 00:16:06 +0000 UTC View PostYou feel that?
It's the post-glow of releasing Midwest Angelica.
And now, ahead is the open road for video crafting.
After Clown's recent update on Twitter, I must inform you that the Welcome Home update is early next year, so... no Welcome Home update to end the year. I'm alright, though, and eager to celebrate when it does come out with a deep dive.
For the moment: let's have a consultation weekend.
If you're in the consultation tier, hit me ...
Hey everyone!
I am very happy to inform you that there is one more--yes, just ONE MORE--video left on my to-do list for the year as a legitimate "to do."
And it's the very last video I'm contracted to include a sponsor on for... ever, basically, until such time that I need or actually choose to have a sponsor.
After this next one, I'm as free as I said I'll be in the Plan video.
I'd like to have a Patreon consultation weekend soon, as well as...

In the full audio editing for SCP Vault 8: Most Haunted.
This is going to be one of the shortest lists, but the longest videos. Some of the most story-driven entries I've ever found, and some of the meanest in terms of leaving you chilled.
Today is wholly dedicated to meeting the needs of the Vault. I want this out by end of the week, I'm not joking, and everything else is secondary priority. (The only main priority with the vault is the u...

So now that the big reveal of what was keeping me deeply busy in August is out (a.k.a. joining the virtual talent agency ASTRALINE), and the debut week is over, I can breathe and actually do some things that aren't Twitch-related.
(I still feel like I need a spa day, which I've never done, but it's September--there's no true stopping until Halloween Hangover on November 1st.)
I mentioned it before in an impromptu visit in the Discord, but for those who don't know,
This has been a... ridiculously busy month unexpectedly.
Thanks to everyone who's joined up this month, and everyone who's still here supporting the channel and the Night Mind Index! For those in consultation tier, I'm glad we've got conversations going (even if we've got to wait a moment for a few of you, because like me, your lives get busy, too!).
I know that we need a Darkroom session soon, and it's certainly on my mind. At the moment, I'm configuring schedul...
Hey everyone,
It's a new month and I think it's high time for a consultation weekend! If you're part of the consultation tier for Patreon, assemble your ideas/media/etc. and prepare for conversations this weekend!
If we're already in talks, then give me a message on Discord confirming you're ready to go by Friday, or Saturday. If we aren't already talking, send me a DM. ::3 Until the weekend, you can use the #consultations channel on the Discord server to speak wi...
2023-07-12 04:31:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Just as a quick thing to take note of, the NM Patreon has been upgraded to clarification that it is for legal adults only, 18+. The Discord has largely had channel gates for 18+ removed.
The reason is simple: there have been several issues for access to the Discord automatically working for new Patreon supporters, some of which were linked to the safeties. In a recent policy change, Apple has also made it very difficult for any iOS user to access age...
2023-05-22 03:57:27 +0000 UTC View Post1. It's a consultation tier weekend, so if you're in talks with me, send me a message on Discord.
2. If you're having problems with access to the Discord, it's because Apple, quite frankly, fucked over every mobile user. I'm going to solve it later, don't worry.
3. If you've just joined and want in on consultations, again, don't worry--I'll handle this with a few switches later, you won't be out to the wind.
Peace,
Nick

First up, welcome to all the new Patreon members! This is a wonderful surprise and I'm delighted to see you all here! I do hope you're enjoying the atmosphere of our Discord and I'm very grateful for the support.
We like to conduct Discord hangouts we call Darkroom Sessions, and I'm looking to host one this weekend, focusing on Friday night. I'm thinking something like... 7:30 PM EST or so. How does that sound?
And for anyone who joined...
2023-04-04 09:24:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Be on alert--one of our users, Legofan94, was compromised through a malicious link that's not attempting to DM users with invites to "test a game," and another user was compromised as result (Neox).
If you are approached in DMs in this manner, do not click the link!
Thank you,

2023-03-12 23:02:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
For those who didn't catch it, I've put the VOD of my first Twitch stream covering Winter of '83 on YouTube just now. You can watch that at your leisure and pick up the experience, since it didn't get fully archived over on Twitch.
We're also having a Darkroom hangout tonight in Discord! 7:30 PM EST, 4:30 PM PST.
Please come by and hang out! ::3
2023-02-24 17:31:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Thanks for your patience while I've gotten some things underway for this year! I'm proud to say I'm working on the first video of 2023 right now, and it's a great way to begin. I didn't want to just pluck any topic and go--I needed to feel like it was something worth being excited over and recommending.
(And I've got other content plans already lined up, now, too!)
After the video is published (figure within a week), we'll lay down plans for a Darkroom and I'l...
(It's a good thing, I promise)
So, I mentioned last week (last year, haha) that we would do some Patreon things before the year was out.
Honestly, after the responsibilities of Christmas, I just... took a moment to unwind. To read. To spend time being a person and not an art investigator demon.
And it felt so good and so rejuvenating that I just kept going and wound up running out of days in December 2022 to address what I said on here.
I'd say I'm sorry, but in truth,...
2023-01-02 22:29:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
The title is right: there's just one more this year. One more video, one more moment of dedicated time to Patreon stuff.
You'll be getting the Mandela Catalogue update within the next few days, and some time after Christmas, we'll do Patreon stuff (Darkroom, consultation check-ins).
That's it, that's the word.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to the most wonderful time of the year!
As many of you know, October is very special on Night Mind, because I switch gears to bring you not one, not two, but three offerings:
- Monster Hunt
- SCP Vault
- Halloween Candy Bowl
(And I host a Halloween furry convention over the course of four days at the end of the month, so the month, as you can imagine, is very busy)
As of right now, the audio for bo...
Hey everyone,
I hope you've been enjoying the 10 Tapes coverage! I'll admit, this one is giving me some feelings back to my roots, and I love it.
For those who need consultation coverage for their projects: you've been on my mind, and I haven't forgotten; this month has been a juggling act of video work, October decision making, house maintenance, and working with the con I host for Halloween (Furpocalypse).
At present moment, I'm making the announcement vi...
Hey everyone, I just remembered I have something I need to sit down for after 7:00 tomorrow that would run into the previous time announced for Darkroom, so we're going to bump it up!

See you there!

Consultations and Index updates will continue shortly! I'll also announce when we're doing consultations. M...

Thanks as always for the patience, especially this month. It's been a lot of work moving and getting things ready, and it's still ongoing. Despite that, however, a new video is coming in just a few days, so you've got some content to look forward to.
Patreon activities will resume at some point soon; I don't know if I'll be able to take a moment this month, or if we're looking at early July, but it is on my mind. Getting things together in the new living situation is...

So, if things have felt a little wonky or quiet over the past couple of weeks, it's because they have. I haven't had the time to really be online too much or have another consultation weekend or Darkroom, because I've been preoccupied daily.

Right now, I have the next Cabin Fever Dreams video on deck and waiting to roll out. There's a light holdup with it, but hopefully not for too long. It's a much shorter one than The Monument Mythos, because sometimes, it's better to have a quick exploratory venture (especially after you just get done with The Monument Mythos).

You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to this night.
Winter, this year, has been awful. First, here's the aspect you've all known: I've been working on both the episodes I needed to deliver for the edition of Night Mind on Paranormal TV since November and regular uploads for the channel.
