Laptop is out of commission :(

So, it's been a long time coming, but my baby has kicked the bucket, gave up the ghost, and bought the farm. This means until I can scrounge up a couple thousand, I won't be able to make videos :(

What's worse is that Netflix blocked my Blood of Zeus 2+ hour review, before it even reached 100 views. It only got 95 before Netflix struck it down. I can't even edit out the parts they blocked because my laptop is dead. Everything's coming up roses, clearly!

What I CAN do is keep scrip...

Blood of Zeus Season 1 Recap and Review

GO GO GO GO GO!!! GO WATCH IT WHILE IT'S UP, BEFORE THE NETFLIX LAWYERS GET IT TAKEN DOWN 🥹

Good news, everyone!

TWO videos done and ready to release?!

Well, almost. One is done, and the other is ALSO done, but it's blocked, so I've disputed it and it will be available to view tomorrow, though Netflix still has 28 days to reassert their claim and block the video from being seen. Which would be tragic, since it's over 2 hours and one I'm very proud of.

BUT there is one available to watch right now, and it's a short (I know! SHORT!) video, clocking in at under 7 minutes. That's a personal best...

Resident Evil Video Games Ranking and Tier List (Part 1)

I told you I'd get something out in time for my birthday. Happy birthday to me, here's a gift for you!

March 2024 roundup

I've been busy with my editing gigs and also doing the whole rigamarole that is moving. Still. Waiting for that new place to be confirmed.

No matter what, I will have something out in April. You can mark my words.

Yo! February 2024 roundup

Okay! So it's been a month since my last update, and I've been working on what was supposed to be a very short, very quick, very easy Resident Evil video game tier list ranking video. 

Unfortunately, me being me, an issue arose: me.

Naturally, this means that I overcomplicated things to the point that what should've ideally been a five, maybe ten minute -- 20, if I was pushing it -- video somehow ballooned into a video that's currently clocking in at 1 hour ...

Cinder's Fall Part 2 is up for Patrons.

Enjoy, my little gremlins. <3

(I need to make a thumbnail, and that's the part I suck at. :( )

Fixed the audio issue, reuploaded to YouTube, instantly claimed again.

That's fine. They should enable it for viewing within a handful of days like last time. Then I can paste the link here and let y'all watch it first for a couple days before making it public.

Not sure what my next video will be, or when, but hopefully a very short one sometime next month, and Cinder's Fall Part 3 (the final part, Volumes 6, 7, 8 (and 9)) will be out either by the end of the year or next year

I do like the idea of releasing Part 1 in 2023, Part 2 (this one) in 2024,...

Cinder's Fall, Part 2: Volumes 4, 5, and 6 are live (for patrons)!

Hope you enjoy. :)

Edit: Wait, is there no audio? Did they claim all my audio, even my own voice? I'm gonna have to look into this.

Cinder's Fall, Part 2 (Volumes 4 - 6)

I think it might have rendered incorrectly, but if not, here it is! Part 2 of 3. The third part is gonna be done at some point in the future because I need a break from RWBY stuff. Took forever, but it's here, for my patrons first (and only, currently).

I've uploaded it to YouTube, and it's currently blocked and in dispute, but they said it'll be visible in 48 hours and Rooster Teeth has 30 days to respond to my dispute. Ergo, I'll just leave this here for now.

Cinder's Fall (part 2) is complete

The only issue is it was done two days ago, and between rendering time (and possibly rendering incorrectly, but I can't confirm til I play it back on something else) and its apparent refusal to upload here, I'll probably have to upload it to YouTube first.

The idea was I'd upload it here for a week before uploading the YouTube version. Patreon supports videos now, and it wouldn't have the content check system that YouTube has that auto-flags and blocks content that contains shows and mo...

Hi.

Sorry for the "long time no talk" thing. Got a lot on my plate, and I'm also been in a holding pattern of waiting to hear when we're going to move and get settled (allegedly, it's next Wednesday).

My laptop crapped out on me a few months ago, and I've been feeling very unmotivated about the RWBY videos (Cinder's Fall Parts 2 and 3, especially since Part 1 flopped, as did my Bayonetta 3 "quick" review). 

I am borrowing my roommate's laptop when he isn't using it, and slowly ma...

Cinder's Fall, Part 1 - Volumes 1, 2, and 3

Early release for Patrons! The video is going to be published on February 14th, because who doesn't love Valentine's Day? :)

Bayonetta 3 Review - Early Preview

Enjoy!

Bayonetta 3 Quick Review script (Spoilers!)

Here's the edited version of that Twitter thread I made on October 30th about Bayonetta 3, so if you'd like to read it, here you go! I'm going to record it now, and hopefully have the video up and done by New Year's Day.

"Quick" thoughts on Bayonetta 3's shortcomings

Spoilers, obviously.

One of my biggest gripes with Bayonetta 3 is that it's heavily implied and pretty much confirmed that new playable protagonist Viola is the daughter of Bayonetta and Luka from a different/al...

I'm not dead! (End of 2022 Update)

Thank you to those of you still here. I appreciate your constant, silent support. Makes me feel like you're silent backers in a company, or a dream, here to believe and support me and see what happens.

And as someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, and Major Depressive Disorder, I really appreciate your patience and support. I'm terrible with time management and plan to update only when I have something worth informing you all on.

If you need constant updates or this ...

Cinder's Fall - Cinder vs Ruby

Very small update is live!

Still working on that video, here's a little snippet to say I'm still alive, just a stressed depressed mess who has a lot on their plate.   

I've got a lot going on and will for the next handful of months, but I'm still chipping away at this video and am aiming for a Halloween release, since I love October and the spooky season. Plus, that's when I released my first video essay, "The Butchering of Adam Taurus", so it just feels fitting.  &...

Happy Birthday To Meeeeeeeeeee

I'm officially an Old. Okay, not really, but I feel old. Maybe it's just the stigma of turning [REDACTED] years old. Ah well.

Progress is slow, I'm fighting burnout, but I am determined to finish this Cinder video.

Depression's been kicking my ass, but I'm still kicking.

Still working on the Volume 2 portion of  this video. It's coming along slowly, but still. I am putting a lot of undue pressure on myself because I want this out ASAP, but I also don 't feel like I want to talk about RWBY for a while after this video is done, so I want to put my best effort into this.

I'm going to set myself a hard deadline of October 31st to have this video out and published, just to give myself grace and know that I have a long ways off to work with. 

...

Progress is slow, but steady.

Why did I decide to do a five hour video essay? I don't know. I wish I knew how to be concise.

But at least you'll get to feast when it's finally done!

Currently working on the Volume 2 section of Cinder's Fall.

The intro and Volume 1 are complete, so Volume 2 is underway. Lots to cover in that part, but I'm dreading Volumes 5 and 8 as they're going to take the longest.

Slowly chipping away at it!

Cinder's Fall is officially done recording.

It is going to be over five hours long (5 hours 18 minutes 29 seconds).

I NEVER want to talk about Cinder or RWBY again. 😩

Recorded the penultimate part of Cinder's Fall.

By my calculations, the video is just over 4 hours so far, and I still have to record 24 more pages. Oof. I fear my five hour video prediction might come true.

We're getting closer to finishing recordings! Just one more session left!

Then the REAL work begins 😩

I also have two separate video ideas nestled in the script of Cinder's Fall, and could be excised to make their own videos, but I'll likely make those videos first because it'll be quicker and Cinder's Fall is stil...

Finished recording Volumes 4 - 6 of "Cinder's Fall."

This is surprisingly the shortest section, at just a little over 46 minutes. But I suspect it'll be a bit longer when I splice in the footage from scenes in the show with dialogue.

Volumes 7 and 8 are also some of the meat and potatoes of this video, just like Volumes 1 - 3 were, given that Cinder was largely absent from Volumes 4 and 6.

This is slowly coming a long.

Finished recording the first three volumes of Cinder's Fall.

It's nearly 2 hours already. 

I've yet to get to Volumes 4 - 8.

 R.I.P. me.

Recording for Cinder's Fall starts today!

I'm very very scared to see how long it'll end up being. I'm dreading it actually. I don't think I'll have a voice by the end of tonight.

The script for Cinder's Fall is finished!

At least, I'm pretty sure. I don't think there's anything left to add.

I just have to add chapter headings and that's probably gonna be hard lol.

Anyways, there are [REDACTED] chapters. 108 pages. 62,412 words. 

I'm not looking forward to recording or editing or uploading it. 😩

Only question is, should I upload the script for you to read now or do you want to wait until I've put together the full video and get the intended effect along with the visuals and audi...

Found some old RWBY interviews.

Most of the script has been me talking about my opinion, and I get pretty passionate at some points. Finding some old RWBY interviews helps relate back to some points I make and I think the script and video will be better for it. I think I even have a better idea on how to end the video.

Please keep looking forward to it!

Happy New Year 2022!!

I am so glad 2021 is finally over, here's hoping you have a wonderful 2022!

Still working away on the script, I'm probably 95% done and have covered up to the present/end of Volume 8, just considering how to end it and make it all feel coherent. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon.

Thanks for sticking by me! Enjoy your day/year, friends!

Rhodes was the worst character in RWBY.

aka I'm working on the script still, and I'm at Cinder's flashback episode, "Midnight", so you know I have a lot to say about that lol.

I truly hate Rhodes, he was so fucking stupid, like imagine seeing a child being abused and instead of being a Huntsman, who's supposed to, y'know, do something about it and be a paragon of goodness, you tell this girl she has to survive with her abuse for seven more years before she can just leave.

And then when she finally snap...
