"Bad Graphics"

Happy Thursday! This'll go live for everyone tomorrow, and I'm thinking about making it a premiere since I'll be home to watch it. For now though, enjoy me yelling about graphics.

Something To Do While Working From Home

Hi y'all!

This isn't a patreon-exclusive (I already tweeted about it), but for those who wisely avoid twitter: 

I made a big youtube playlist of some of my absolute favorite video essays. You probably know about some of these, my guess is you definitely won't have heard of a couple. Anyway, stay safe, cozy up, wash your hands, watch some vids.

GREAT SECRET MEGA-SPECIAL

Holy crap y'all. You are the most amazing, supportive community, and I can never thank you enough. As a tiny fraction of my appreciation, here's a full, (almost) 40-minute commentary on The Search For The Last Great Secret, and what it feels for a small creator to go kinda bananas in the course of about 5 days. 


Also, I will jump out of a plane soon. This is my promise to you.

Dawn of the First Day

   

My first two posts on social media of the last decade. “My input is always valuable,” and “Ugh drivers ed.” That’s gotta be meaningful, right? 

I started this Patreon what feels like 3 weeks ago; I think it’s been more like 4 months. In that time, I think I’ve made some...

(Potentially the last) November Questions

Hi everyone!

So, I'm thinking about retiring the Q&As. Despite the growing number of patrons, there just aren't that many questions coming in. BUT I think we can replace it with something else fun- exclusive streams maybe? I'm open to suggestions. 

With all that said, there are still some very good questions that need to be answered!

A Whole New Discord

Some of y'all have probably already noticed- the Gelly Bellies Discord is up and running! While the name is definitely final, most other stuff is under construction. Feel free to jump on in and start talking to people though! Just don't be a dick.


This is a reward for the $3 tier and up, and there's more cool stuff coming in the next couple days. I'm excited!

Gettin Funky with Patreon Rewards

Hi y'all!

Thank you all so much for your support on the new video. Boundless appreciation to both the old guard and any new contributors.

I've been thinking about the patreon reward tiers; I think they could be significantly more exciting than they are right now. So I'm going to lay out a couple ideas here, but I'd love to hear from you as well. What do you want to see? What would be fun?

The most obvious one is a Discord Channel. Multiple people have asked ...

Spookiest Questions and Answers of the Year

 Hey y’all! Hope everyone’s doing well. A quick update before the As to the Qs: the production of my next video is well underway, but I’m actually filming it for the first time ever! As such, it might take a little longer than usual to get out. Or it might not! I have no idea how editing live footage is going to be, but I’m excited to find out. In any case, let’s get into it.

Charging for the last video

Happy Spooks, everyone


As detailed in the last post, I'm going to charge you now for Designed for Violence. This way, it'll go on your October bill instead of doubling up on September. On reflection, this is probably too complicated and I won't do it again, but  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Ya live and ya learn. Have a good one, y'all!

Games, Schools, and Worlds Designed for Violence

Hi everyone! Here's the new video!!

We're so close to the end of the month, and I don't want to double-charge you for September when that bill could be easily broken up into two, so I'm going to do something kinda weird and release this now, but charge you for it on October 1. I know it's probably not a big deal to most of y'all, but...well, I galaxy-brained myself into thinking this was the best thing to do. Hope it's okay! If it's not for any reason, let me know and I can figure it ou...

Q&Answers, Month 2

 

Hi y'all!

Month 2 of this patreon thing and I couldn't be happier with it. Your support means so so much to me.

Announcement Number 1: Weekly streams! You might have already seen these, but I'm streaming Saturday mornings around 11:30 EST. I don't quite have the stream-endurance yet for those massive 6-hour ordeals, but what I've done so far is a ton of fun. You can see the2019-09-22 19:12:16 +0000 UTC View Post
