Commentary Track #2 These People Aren't Real

ALSO! There was a question from fohfuu that I missed while recording!! So, I want to answer it here! Very sorry about that, fohfuu!!

Answer: So, I have never read Homestuck and I had never seen SBaHJ before. But I did look into it after I saw this question. I really don't know if any of these series have a direct correlation with it, but I do think its an interesting parallel. I think the similarities are indicative of a larger theme of the internet, which I only really got into near th...

Songs from 'These People Aren't Real'

I used a lot of music that I've already published (full list below*), but I did make a few tracks for this video specifically. I wasn't sure if they were really worth putting up on Spotify, so you can stream them on soundcloud and download them here!

EARLY ACCESS: 'These People Aren't Real'

Hey everyone! Here is the final* draft of my latest video! I'm very relieved to finally be finished with it. I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what I think of it, been working on it so long I can't tell if it came out any good. Either way, I'm excited for you all to see it and to get started on the next Digital Horror video!

Along with this post, for those of you in the Fiver tier, I'll be publishing a post for you to ask me Q&As about the video for the Commentary Track! So, if you ...

Big Patreon Update - New Tier & The Future

Hey everyone! As of right now I am launching a new tier for the Patreon, 2 dollars. The tiers are now ‘Fiver’ (which is the same tier that’s been here the whole time) and a new one ‘Toonie.’ This one is only two dollars, and has access to all the same content. The only difference is that I will only be taking questions for the monthly Q&As from the 5 dollar tier. I hope that with this cheaper tier it will allow more people to see the stuff I put out over here.

Taking Q&A Questions Here!

Been a while since I did one of these. Leave any questions you have in the comments, and I will try to answer as many as possible in an upcoming Patreon video.

SNEAK PEEK: 'These People Aren't Real' Opening

Hey everyone! Making good progress on this Stockroach video, which now has the title 'These People Aren't Real.' As I have been making it, the scale has just kept getting bigger, but I think that is only to the betterment of the video. Making good progress, so hopefully it will be out soonish.

Will be posting a Q&A post soon as well as another review. See ya then!

Quick Thought About 'Video Essays'

Hopping on here to express some quick thoughts about 'video essays.'

Firstly, what even is a video essay? Seriously, I don't really know anymore. It feels like the YouTube community has decided any video 1hr+ is one. To me that doesn't seem fair, because not every hour+ long video has a thesis or an essay-like format; and where it's harmfu, I think, is when people start comparing unrelated videos because they're both 'video essays.' It doesn't make sense to compare a hbomberguy video t...

BIG 2024 UPDATE

Hey everyone! I will be out of town for the next week for the holidays. So before I leave, I wanted to give a quick update about  what this upcoming year will bring. I might have some more to upload here on Patreon before the new year, but I'm not sure. So let's just look at what's coming!

CHANNEL REBRAND: With all new assets and a new channel mascot, the rebrand will visually hone-in on some of my favorite aesthetics I've tried to captu...

Commentary Track #1 Basilisk

Hey everyone! I'm trying something new here; a commentary track! I'm thinking about putting one of these out on the Patreon for all of my main channel videos. This is just a first attempt/test, so let me know what you think! I think the first third is a little slow, but I get more into a groove and have some interesting things to say in the back half. I'll also probably have notes next time.

possible rebrand WIPs

Don't worry im not gonna become a vtuber i just wanted to have a little channel mascot guy.

font is cokobi if anyone else wants to use it, cause i think its a cool font!

CRAWLSPACE Episode 1 (Early Access)

Hey everyone, I'm starting a new original web-series/horror short(s). This is my first episode. I'm experimenting with a lot in it. I'll be releasing Episode 1 to the public once I am finished with Episode 2 so that there isn't a huge gap. I have all the episodes written, I just need to actually put them together. Hope you enjoy!

"Counterweight" (WIP Song)

I have an upcoming album I've been working on, here's a WIP song from it. Enjoy :)

EARLY ACCESS: Basilisk Video

Hey everyone! Just finished up this most recent video, so here it is, a few days early! Brief warning: There are a couple audio errors (a weird popping/clicking around 55:26) that I need to fix, but that means re-exporting the entire project, so that may take a little while. Also, the music for the video is still uploading to Spotify, so it may be a few days. (I also plan on putting more music on Bandcamp, just need the time to sit and do it).

Either way! I hope you enjoy this video. I ...

Next "Digital Horror" Topic Poll

Hey everyone! Although I won't be making another Digital Horror video until a little bit down the line, I wanted to throw out two concepts for the focus of my next one. This would inform underlying thematic focus, and which series I cover.

Halloween Night Update

Hey everyone. Happy Halloween! Its late. I had planned on making a little Halloween video to release, but my flight back home from seeing the FNaF Movie with friends completely knocked all my energy out of me. Still, I wanted to have something for you all. So, here's some assets for my upcoming Basilisk video. I will also be releasing two tracks from the video as well. Happy Halloween, I look forward to talking to you all again when I have a bit more energy!

I will also soon ...

FNaF Movie Review/Thoughts (EXCLUSIVE)

FNaF Movie & New Video

Hey everyone. I flew out to see the FNaF movie with some friends, which did unfortunately delay my ability to edit my Basilisk video. That will be coming out the week after Halloween now.

I'd like to release a brief FNaF movie review here on Patreon before Halloween, and if possible, release that Halloween special (the one covering some of my favorite Halloween media) on Halloween Night.

Sorry for the delays! Here is a video I took of me walking to the FNaF movie. See you soon!<...

more updates coming soon.

Update: I am sick 😲

Hey everyone. A few days ago I tested positive for COVID, and I've been pretty much bedridden for the past few days. I don't want anyone to worry too much! I've been resting a lot, and I'm starting to feel a bit better each day, so I am on my way to recovering

However, what this also means is that I need to take it easy and not work until I have recovered. Which sucks! I was very much looking forward to beginning work on my next video after such a long wait for the last one, and here w...

"Home Is Where the Heart Is" Kitty Horrorshow Vid Track 2

WIP(?) song that will play during the opening credits sequence of the Kitty Horrorshow video.

Lyrics:

Creaking wood and doors ajar,

Dusty halls, noise from afar

If walls could talk then they would scream

Vertigo like from a dream

Sentimental memories, fall apart inside of me

Doors that lead to nowhere, floors that creak when no one's there

Home is where the heart is, but no warmth where your hearth is

Getti...

"Anatomy of a House" (Kitty Horrrorshow Vid Track 1)

SNEAK PEEK: Kitty Horrorshow Opening

Hey everyone! I am finally settled in enough to actually make some progress on work! Here's the first part of the opening for the Kitty Horrorshow video. I'll also be uploading some music for this video in a moment. Once my office is a bit more together, I'll also have an office tour going up.

Welcome to all the new people also! Really appreciate your support! Now that I'm back in the swing of things, a lot more will be coming!
