Payment processors are censoring the internet, but that's only half the story.

New Patreon Tiers

Hey everyone.

As you all know, this Patreon exists mainly to post updates, share uncut versions of videos, and give people a way to support the channel. Without it, I simply wouldn't be able to make most of what I make the way I want to make it. So I've always been adament about giving full access to everything here for as cheap as possible. However, as part of my continuing efforts to revamp the channel (and because I'd like to become more financially independent from YouTube) I've rec...

I Appreciate The Support

Hey everyone. Just wanted to make a quick post saying that I appreciate you joining the Patreon and supporting the channel recently.

YouTube manually demonetized the hentai video for silly reasons (apparently Japanese martial arts diagrams showing people restrained with rope aren’t okay?) and so I’m very happy that so many people joined the Patreon from that video, and it’s grown as much as it has. It’s because of all you that I feel confident making more videos about adult topi...

Welcome to the first monthly shareholder report, where I talk about having ADHD and not doing any work

Update: Hentai Studios

Hey everyone. I've been making some lighter videos recently, and so I've decided I'm ready to dive back into something a bit more complex next. And what better to cover than hentai studios!

There are videos about the history of hentai in general, or specifically focusing on eromanga in Japan, but very little is known about the studios making animated hentai, and where they come from or how they work. So that's what I want to look into.

The video is in very early developm...

New Profile Picture!

Hey everyone. With the release of Sakamoto Days, which has a main character I've been told I look a bit like, I've decided to redo my profile picture yet again. This time with the help of an artist, Ryuwanshoy!

I know change is hard, but let me know what you think about the new look!

Where Does "The Big 3" Come From?

Update: The Most Expensive Movies Ever Made

Hey everyone. Working on a new video, and since we've been watching Kurosawa films like Ran in the discord server, I've had the idea to talk a bit about the most expensive movies ever made.

Kurosawa's Ran had a budget of about 12 million, and had 1400 extras, 200 horses, and an entire castle built that they burn down in the movie. 1922's Foolish Wives was the "first million dollar movie" and used 326,000 feet of film over the course of an 11 month shoot, where a lead actor died, the dir...

Lextorias 2.0

Hey everyone. Long time no update.

Moving to the new apartment has gone smoothly. I still have boxes left to unpack, but I've settled in to my new space and have my office and recording studio set up. Unfortunately, I took too much time to settle in and not work on videos, so I lost all momentum on the Big 3 video and have put that on the backburner. Instead, I'm currently working on a video about the demons in Frieren that I think should be out in a few weeks at most.

I wanted to...

Update: I'm Moving!

Hey everyone. This year I've been working hard to move out of the small one bedroom apartment I've been living and making videos in, and I finally secured a bigger space for myself across the country in October!

Because of that, I'm pretty busy planning the move (and an upcoming convention I'll be going to) so I won't be putting out the Big 3 video or anything on the main channel until that's all done.

I do have a lot of big things planned when I'm set up in the new space though, ...

Update: The Big Three

Hey everyone. Hope you're doing alright.

Life has been pretty busy for me lately. I'm planning on moving next month (hopefully to a new city if everything goes well), and I've got a bunch of other stuff going on. So I'm taking it easy on videos until that's all sorted. But I do still wanna work on something, so I thought why not take a look at the Big 3?

Discussions about the Big 3 anime and manga are maybe some of the worst, most pointless discussions on the internet, and I hate ...

Update: How Does Gaming Ever Improve?

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates. I just haven't had anything majorly going on that I've felt the need to update people about. I was just grinding away at the adult animation video for a while, and I took a bit of a break before starting up a new project. The new project I've decided to start up is probably the most nebulous and hard to describe idea ever. The video is gonna suck, honestly.

The rough idea is that video games have evolved really, really quickly. They keep gett...

Update: A History of Adult Animation & Anime

Hey everyone. This last video actually had a guest editor, so I've been working on a new video for a bit here. It's covering adult animation in the West versus adult anime in Japan!

I had the idea after talking to someone about all the Big Mouth style adult animated sitcoms coming out that just look terrible, and I wanted to look into why that is. And at the same time, there was an announcement for a new Tomb Raider show that called it an anime, even though as far as I can tell it was m...

Update: Arcade Video & Disconnecting Discord

Hey everyone.

Just two major updates right now.

First, the new video I'm making will be partially about the history of arcades. There's already a lot of videos detailing the entire history of the space, including one that's 10 hours long. So I'm not going to make that the focus of the video. Instead, I want to talk about gaming's history of friendship and isolation. About how i...

Decide What I Make Next!

Hey everyone.

I'm working hard on the next video. It's another anime randomizer, with a twist this time! And it should be out by the end of the month, since I secured a sponsor for it already.

In the meantime I thought I'd do a quick poll to decide what video I should make after that.

Vote in the poll and comment any ideas you have down below!

Give Me Video Ideas!

I’m creatively bankrupt and have run out of interesting concepts to make videos about. And being a YouTuber, I've decided that the best course of action... is to make a video about running out of video ideas.

So I'm asking people on Twitter, YouTube, and here on Patreon to give me ideas for video essays that you think I should make. Topics you want to see me cover. And then I'm gonna make a video covering all these topics that totally won't be called "Trying Your Terrible Video Essay ...

Why Are Controller Buttons Like That?

Update: Controller Layouts

Hey everyone!

After working hard on research for my last few videos, I've decided to take it easy for a bit and make some lighter, shorter, filler content. So I started looking into why different controllers have different layouts.

This turned out to be a mistake.

We all know that the PlayStation, XBox, and Nintendo controllers have pretty much all the same general buttons, just labeled differently. The X button is in a different location on every console. So I wanted to fin...

Update: Video Game Piracy

Hey everyone!

Video game piracy easily won the poll for the next video I'll be making (I swear Patreon used to let me end polls, but it appears I've lost that ability) So I want to run you through my ideas for the video, and get your feedback on it.

Every YouTuber and their dog has already made a video on piracy. Mostly just talking about their opinions on it, but a few actually going deeper and making video essays/history videos about it. So looking at this topic, there's a lot t...
