CO-VIDS: 25 things that go me through (rough cut)

Kait Hatch

I love this so much! I'm going to riff off of it with a blog of my own list of things that are getting me through. LOVE! THANK YOU!

This got me to play 'Procession to Calvary'. Thank you so much! Glad to have you back.

Yay! Welcome back! So tickled to see Snow 🤣 Seconding liking no outro music and that leveling the sounds would be helpful esp for someone wearing headphones. Jarring and loud otherwise 💜

Thank you for this video Ian. If you're taking suggestions for an outro track, here's a rec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahWetlj4F7g

Ah. Enough media recommendations to ruin the rest of my summer. And a big long deep breath. Thank you.

I spent several sleepless nights last year falling in love with Martinaise. Charlie Jane Anders seems right up my alley too.

Josh Grey

Adding Wonderbook and The City in the Middle of the night to my reading list.

Will Bower

great to have you back ian! i love this format too--i feel like i now have a bunch of stuff to get me through whatever weird pandemic time is coming up next

This is literally just 13 minutes of joy and I didn't even know how much I needed that until right now.

Carlos Maza "How To Be Hopeless" made me cry like a baby 10/10 content

Be aware The City in the Middle of the Night is *very specifically my jam* and I gather from Goodreads that a lot of people find it unsatisfying. Mine is a minority opinion! But definitely read it, if it's your wavelength you won't regret it.

Ah. This one just made my day. Loved it! Coincidentally I just so happen to be in the market for new sci-fi-y books. I'm all hype for The City in the Middle of the Night now!

Homebrew Futures

Maybe it's my lack of imagination, but I like the absence of exit music. It lets "thank you for watching COVIDs. Let's get back to work," just hang there. For me, it gives a sense of closure for this series. Maybe that would also be true with the right music, but I like the feeling this left me with.

IT'S SO GOOD

apologies! would dropping the volume help, or is it the sounds themselves?

Erik

Excellent video, picked me right up. 😊 The countdown (countup?) sounds are a bit on the harsh/loud side for me though. Oh, and nice beard!

Sarah Hall

A very wholesome vid. And my last 12 months hit a few of those beats, too. I didn't grow an excellent beard, though. Top work 👌🏼

Erik

Oh wow, your avatar makes me very nostalgic 😁

Ezri Dax

I also loved The City in the Middle of the Night!

Alice

I'm in Boston too, and I got COVID this week despite being vaccinated since April. I hope this thing really is going to end...

Matt Cramp

This year I found a YouTube comment section underneath an extended version of some music from Chrono Trigger that was full of people just checking in to nobody, and saying hello, and sharing their problems. It was extremely sweet to see.

Yay. New vid! Glad you're healthy enough to work again :)

Kudos for finally getting work done again!! Getting back into what used to be routines taking MONTHS is totally normal for health issues, as I'm sure you know, but I thought I'd remind you. :) Out of curiosity, what was the "unreasonable" video size out of the editing program before you encoded it?
