Holiday-specific videos are always a bad idea, yet I keep trying to do them...
Will I ever learn my lesson? Probably not! Will it at least be awesome enough to be worth it? I dunno! Let's find out!
That said, video is definitely gonna be late. Expect either Saturday or Sunday, I'll know for sure once I get closer.
"I'll just hit export and then go to bed" I said.
"It will be easy" I said.
Zzzz okay take dis before I make a word-salad haha-

The good news here is, the Podcast is suddenly coming together much more quickly and smoothly than expected. The bad news is, I spread myself to thin and have to cancel stream for today. Sorry guys!
Should have *something* for you tomorrow. We'll see if that sometimes is a podcast or a stream.
Oh geeze that Spamton Sweepstakes has scrambled ALL the plans, I don't even know where to begin.
In a way, this is very good! Because it's a lot of fuel for the content fire.
And in other ways, it's kind of a pain because there's a lot of opportunities that just opened up that are time sensitive! Oh noes!
For example, I was going to check out the Requiem Cafe, but alas, I am on the other side of the country, and my efforts to travel are for naught.

See this, this is why you don't make the polls/posts right before you fall asleep. Ahem! "I would want the stream to be at...."

What? It's September first at 5am? Uhh- Oh geeze! I'm so sorry. I keep biting off more than I can chew it would seem.
The initial plan this week was to take a diddly-dang break and then Stream this Friday.
Then a certain new piece of merch dropped and I switched gears so I could write a video for that instead but... for a variety of reasons I did not finish in time, so.. back to plan A!
I'm thinking of streaming at 3pm on Friday but I'll drop a poll to see if you-...
Oh geeze this one has been in the works for a while now. Two delays and I still barely finished it on time!
Is it worth it? I hope so! This was our first (completed) CAT Tier request after all!

"But HBC I thought you just got editors." I did! Then they both immediately became overwhelmed trying to juggle other projects with this. (Donut-hell has claimed another). What we need is editing goblins who both have no other lives, and also have no standards.

Wowie! I'm only slightly exhausted! Progress!!!
I did actually get some of the Bonus Material packed up (finally!) but had to hit the pause button before actually uploading so this would be on time.
On the flipside! I hear the Missingno-printouts have begun to arrive! So huzzah!

Part 1: Chaos Rewards are On Their Way
Holy [Cungadero]! I did not expect reward fulfillment to get that expensive that fast! I guess I didn't anticipate so many international viewers? (What is this I don't even).
In addition to discovering how expensive shipping is right now, I also found that some Chaos Tier backers prefer *not* to have physical rewards at all, or don't feel comfortable including their physical address which is fair! So to remedy both problems...
Man after all those cat allergies and other drama I should really take it easy, recover, and make a 21 MINUTE VIDEO WHAT?! Brain! Why you do this?!?!

You ever get clawed by your cat, and your immune system freaks out *so hard* it tries to choke you to death, so you have to go to the hospital?
Me either! That was... an unusual experience. I promise I'm not normally *this* allergic to cats... maybe it was because it was so many scratches combined with hay fever...?

Needs to be from Gen1. You may list 2 if the 2nd one is a Missingno-variety.
(You can private message me, comment, etc, but I'd recommend doing that sometime within the next week. )

Today on the exciting adventures of: Trying to Survive the Ever Tightening Death Grip of the Youtube Algorithm, we try to figure out what is going on with this "sprite glitch."
I mean that's what the video is about, to me this is an experiment on a channel management strategy.

At last a moment to breathe and scoop all the bonus content into one lovely folder.
Liked the original video but need more CATS? The cat-cam version is now live! Curious about some of the assets or behind the scenes shenanigans? I got you covered dog, it's aaaall in the folder. I mean, it should be at least. Poke me if there's something else you wanted to see I guess?

The good news is, the video is ready on time! (sort of... I prefer to have these done more than a few hours in advance so Patreons can have a few days early access, but given the nature of this video, that's not an option).

Holy [cungadero] already?!
I always think I have plenty of time to prepare for milestones and yet it always takes me by surprise even when other's try to remind me. Gosh-golly darned!
What I'm trying to say here is, thank you all so much for your enthusiasm. I can't make a whole video and I don't have much in the way of prizes, but I did try to put a little extra effort into the bonus material for this one, at least, since there's a lot of interesting and fun stuff that was cut....
Howdy!
Normally I try to release these once every 2 weeks on Friday, and a few days early for Patrons.
That wasn't possible this time, as I'm running late with the video and have to hurry up and make the next one to meet a particular event I want the next video to coincide with. (it will make sense, trust me).
A few hours early is still "early access" but I wish I still feel very guilty about this.
To make matters worse, I still have to put together the b...
Oops I forgot something!
Although the focus of the video is about Don't Forget, I did begin to cover the theory that the first half of the opening to Deltarune is Gaster, and then it switches to Chara.
It doesn't seem like a very [BIG SHOT] move to bring it up and then fail to mention the similar thing going on with the File Select Screen, but editing it this late in the process is kind of a problem. If I insert a line, it breaks the flow into the line next to it, and desyncs th...
At long last!
I knew this video would take longer than normal because it requires me to highlight vast quantities of text while it prints in video, which I've never done before, but, oh boy did I not expect the other reason this was delayed.
In short, I play the title song, and youtube copyright struck it. Now, normally, I would have anticipated this, and planned around it, but when I uploaded a test version of the video to see if that would be an issue, it was ...
You're all too cool, take this terrible thing I whipped together before bed.
2022-02-15 06:01:10 +0000 UTC View PostQuick question, current video is too [BIG], and taking longer than usual. I try to have videos up once every two weeks, and a few days early for Patrons (per the will of the last poll), but since this one is running long I'm not sure I can do that.
So, assuming the results of this aren't binding since I'm not sure how this will unfold as I edit, would you prefer I... ?
I am weirdly apprehensive about posting a video that isn't 20 minutes long. Maybe it will get easier the more I do it? (Oh hay for some reason the file size is still big enough to need to be split into parts. Weird).

Howdy! It's hard to believe I've been doing this for four months now, but as I create and grow, I'm also quietly experimenting with the content itself, making little tweaks and changes here and there.
One thing I'm learning is that bigger videos are both more work, and harder to engage with. I'm hoping to start splitting videos into smaller pieces, but here on the edge of releasing my next video, I'm nervous about charging for shorter videos.
