September: The Return!
🕑 Added 2023-08-22 01:43:39 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Hope you're all having a good August. Wanted to make a quick post to let you know about a few things.
First, and maybe most important, after almost 6 months since my last YouTube video I will be making a return to uploading in September! While the copyright stuff was a problem for a bit, I also just made the decision to not upload anything (reaction/commentary or otherwise) for personal reasons. I feel excited about editing videos again so I hope you'll enjoy watching (knowing YouTube, the algorithm likely hates me now after not uploading for months lol, so hopefully people will actually see the videos in the feed). I don't have a set plan for the amount of uploads per week, but it won't be anything like an upload per day (at least for now).
Second, the past month and a half the Patreon schedule hasn't been at the usual level and we'll be getting back into the swing of things (starting this week). I'm not sure what it is about July/August that just messes with the schedule but two years in a row now I've recorded less during those months for some reason. Next week we'll be starting a long movie series I've been wanting to do for a while that should be fun, leading up to a certain release.
Third, with God of War Ragnarok essentially wrapped up, I'll be going back to 2-per-week gaming uploads, about an hour long each. The around 3 hour videos worked great for Ragnarok but it's also a big time commitment for the editing & uploading (each video took about 6 hours to fully export and upload, sometimes longer). My only hint for what I'm playing next is that it'll be a good game to prep for something else.
Fourth, in addition to those items, starting in September I will be attempting to stream as well. This will be mainly for games that either don't work as well for YouTube uploads or work better live, reacting/commentary for things that aren't movies and shows (unless we did live watch-alongs), and just hanging out. I went back and forth deciding between YouTube and Twitch on where to stream but I decided Twitch suits my needs and tastes a bit better for now (I also want to actually be able to occasionally play music in the background, which is just not possible on YouTube at all). This will be a bit of an experiment, as I've never done streaming and so I could end up getting overwhelmed by it all and quit after one stream haha.
Fifth, I am purchasing every major movie production studio not named A24 and agreeing to the strike terms so movies and shows can get back on track.
Sixth, I've been thinking about hitting another space on the 'typical YouTuber' bingo sheet by making a third channel, which would have to do with just physical media content because I just don't feel like that has a place on the regular channel. Despite the background of my videos not being some of my movies anymore, I still am building up the blu-ray collection, and so maybe content around that would be worth watching? Not sure, but feel free to let me know any thoughts you have.
That's all I've got for now!

Some PTA reacts would be great!

Since I've been a patreon for a long time, it didn't affect me that you weren't on youtube anymore, this are the best way to spend 10 dollars...But it wasnt the same without you there dude, So I'm glad you had plans to come back eventually. Could that third channel include extended movie/game reviews? a "podcast" with different movie reactors could be a fun idea haha idk I trust you
