hey team!
here's May's batch of tier list vids. this brings us to the end of Part 1! we have officially re-reviewed adventuregamers.com's Top 20 All-Time Adventure Games. Phase 2 has begun over on Nebula, as we start reviewing all their GOTY winners from 2013-2023. Phase 2 is gonna have rather a lot of guest reviewers, as there were many games I hadn't played yet and, when we put out feelers for guests, we got a surpris...

Hey team.
Lotta new faces here, so lemme get you up to speed: quantifica is my monthly update where I crunch numbers/data for my various ridiculous, patron-exclusive projects. You can check out the last year-and-change of updates with the quantifica tag. This year's projects were outlined in 2025-06-02 18:38:26 +0000 UTC

hey team,
um... so stuff happened, and there are a lot more of you, and I dunno what the future holds right now but it looks a lot different than it did when I made my last post, let me tell you. I'm taking a little time to settle into this new reality, will follow up when I know what the heck I'm doing. but, meantime, I'm keeping my commitments: here are April's tier list videos, with a 50/50 split of classics I feel complicated about and two of my all-time favorite games.

hey team
a video will go public soon, but I'm telling you first: I'm putting Innuendo Studios on indefinite hiatus. the financial strain this job puts on me and my family has reached a breaking point. my heart can't take it.
I'm sorry. details to follow soon. hopefully not goodbye.

Hey team! Truly exhausting month where I packed up my life and moved out of Boston, the city I've made my home for the last 13 years. About 115% of my energy went into pulling this feat off, which left none-and-then-some left over for video work. So this is gonna be a lean update! Been in the new place a week now, most of my life is still in boxes, but today I plugged some time on the John Wick vid, and, while I'm rusty, it's nice to be working again.

5 1/2 minutes from... something? I wrote this a while back when I wanted to talk about the ending of Breaking Bad, but couldn't figure out how to end it. I have some idea where I might go with it now, but the line between "this is interesting" and "I am interested in writing about this" is fuzzy indeed. so, for now, this is a shelved idea I thought I'd share with you. I may find myself reinvigorated on the topic or discover a fresh angle, in which case this might see the light of day...

I may have just finished the final Alt-Right Playbook. it's fresh out of the oven so I may decide it needs more work after I look at it again. this is not up on Nebula, this is not for public consumption, and I am feeling all kinds of ways about it existing at all. but, for now, it exists only for you. I'm not announcing anywhere that it's ready, or making any statement about when it goes public. it might go live in the morning, it might go live in a few days, I ...

after another delightful back-and-forth where I demonstrate that I am uniquely bad at doing sponsor reads, Doublewrong is finally public! this is the penultimate Alt-Right Playbook, probably the last one to feature 100+ illustrations with the little doops, and the only ARP that will ever be sponsored (Abi and I are splitting the revenue on this and I wanted to make sure it was a decent paycheck).
I'ma go take a nap or something.

Hey team! I'm in my protracted process of planning my year, gearing up for a Patreon relaunch, and figuring out the next round of quantifica projects. Wanted to ask your thoughts on a number of things/run some ideas by you. Anyone who's got opinions, please share them in the comments!

hey team! here's the video I intended to release last month but I got sick.
Abi pitched the idea to me last summer. she had the idea for the topic, and we spitballed some thoughts back and forth, and then traded drafts for a while until we had this. even after deciding to wrap the series, I knew I still wanted to make this one. it gave me a different drive to edit to someone else's voice, to want to surprise them with how I visualized their words.
on a personal note, it was weirdl...

hey team! happy new year. this is the final installment of this weird project I did for 2024. I'll give you the updates, some new data, some reflections, and some recommendations.
END-OF-YEAR FINANCIALS
we hit our target. a video that was planned for December is waylaid until next week by a winter cold (I think you're gonna like it!) so my hopes of overshooting in December were dashed. but we exceeded our financial target by 1.2%.

Hey team. We are closing in on the end of the year. Here are the stats for November!
FINANCIALS
We just barely fell short of target this month, as the Patreon continues to diverge from target while AdSense shores up the difference. We are about 12.5% ahead of schedule for the year, so being 5% below on November is not a crucial problem. We will probably be below target for December as well, but will still hit the target for the year. We can more or l...

[this is going to sound kind of despondent. because, well, it is, but it's not (I don't think) going to end with "everything is hopeless, might as well give up and die." I am writing this in one go with maybe 1/3 of a sense where I'm headed, so I don't entirely know what I'm going to say, but "give up" is not what I'm aiming at. I am, however, experiencing some genuine despair and giving myself permission to feel my feelings, so that's gonna be in the mix. you do not have to listen to me ...

we are getting near the end of the year, which and I have run into a snag on one of my silly media consumption projects: at least two movies from my film randomizer list are not viewable.

Hey team, this is... I dunno, a tone poem on The Zone of Interest, I suppose? Something I felt I had to get out of me after watching the movie. It is very short, and very different. Also The Zone of Interest is a movie about the Holocaust, so calibrate yourself accordingly before you hit play.

This month I released Why Don't You Respond to Criticism?, which has performed quite well!

Patreon is making two changes in the coming months, so I'm letting you know how I'll be managing them. Change #1: they are switching to mandatory subscription billing rather than monthly billing. All this means for you is that you will get charged on the monthaversary of whenever you pledged instead of on the first of the month. We have the option to turn this feature on now or wait til November; I am opting for t...
