Hey all! I have rewritten and re-edited the Still Life video to be under 1 minute so it will upload as a YouTube Short.
The first 10 videos of the tier list are written, the audio is recorded and edited, and Nebula has agreed to sponsor it! So I'll be kicking them out as fast as I can and sending them your way. :D
hoop de doop de doo, I did another one

Hey team!
Here is the first video from originally-planned Compendium. I'm sick of working on giant projects that take forever to come out so the Compendium video is going to actually be a series of bite-sized Alt-Right Playbooks after all. This is a touched-up version of The Slow Breakup from - oh sweet jesus -...

Hey team,
The freelance gig is much farther along but continues to take up my time. Per my last few messages, I have been looking to put out something modestly-sized this month, which involved a lot of dabbling in different ideas. As such, I thought I'd share some of the dabbles with you!

Unrelated to anything else: I came across a Word doc on my laptop today! It's the pitch for a book on the history of the adventure game that I sent to Peregrine Pocketbooks when they were soliciting submissions. I hadn't looked at it since I wrote it, and they informed me back in March that they were passing on the idea. (Foo...
2023-05-25 13:46:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey team! Freelance gig is coming along nicely but still has a ways to go. It's been too long since I put something on the channel, so I wanna make something interesting but not too labor intensive. Something CO-VID sized, i.e. not The Alt-Right Playbook or the neo-noir video. So let's try something:

Freelance Out Into Nothin'
I am still mired in this freelance gig that has, at this point, taken far more time than the pay is worth. I am happy with the work I'm producing and the pace has picked up a lot, so I hope it will be done this month. Life just keeps getting i...

Hey team! Here is the finalized, ad-free version of Protagony Two! In defiance of what I said when last we spoke, this is up on Nebula NOW and will go public on YouTube tomorrow (with an ad read at the end). So you're getting it a day earlier than expected!
Hope you enjoy it. :D

Yeah, didn't get it done. I brought all my stuff, and I got some good work done while traveling, but didn't get it over the finish line. One last bit of overpromising for 2022.
I only released a single video this past year. That's not my favorite thing to admit. I'm pr...

I've still got some footage to collect and some photos to take, and I need to put the paper-cutout effect on the doops, and record/edit audio and edit the video to the audio, but... the first run of slides are complete!
