Hey! It's an update!

Hey Arlo!. You probably already know me!. But I am new patron! to you!. I am Ed!.

Arlo

Well gosh, thanks so much! We're glad to have you here!!!

Arlo! I just became a patron! This is the first time I’ve ever pledged money to ANYONE on Patreon, so I started small but am considering more. I seriously love your videos so much that you were the first person to ever make me consider doing something like this. Thank you for the incredible content, and keep up the good work! Love ya!

Arlo

I appreciate YOU!!!

Seattle person here — keep up the awesome videos my blue friend! I’m newer to patreon but I’m always so happy when I get to sit down with a new Arlo video at the end of a long day. Appreciate you and your work!

Arlo

Thank you so much, and welcome!!! For some weird reason there don't seem to be a lot of gaming conventions in the Bay Area, but if I can find a good one I'd love to go!

I'm new to your patreon and hope you'll visit the Bay Area! Your reviews have been some of the best I've found for the Switch. It's my first game console in ten years, so I've missed a lot of the stories and franchises. Keep up the awesome work!

Arlo

HELLO!!! Thanks so much for your pledge and for being a fan and for being AWESOME! Glad to have you here. :D

I've never been a patreon before, but you're that special and I want to help you as much as I can. Keep bein' great! -Mary Ann (P.S.

You're... you're coming to Milwaukee? But I live in Milwaukee. That means you'll be coming to the town where I live. That means that you'll be here, but also I'll be here. How is this real life?

sounds good arlo

Pssst. Arlo don't tell anyone I said this but, there is an awesome game called owlboy and I think you're gonna love it.

I should also say that YOU ROCK and keep doing what you love!

Arlo

That's a tough call. I would at least wait until the next Direct to see if they announce anything. And I haven't played the original either! Doesn't really appeal to me.

Arlo

I LOVE YOU!

Arlo

I would love that!

Arlo

I like YOU!

ARLO! New patron here. In addition to loving the channel, I think you have to be one of my favorite people ever, which feels slightly strange to say to someone I've never met, but it's true! Thanks for being you, and for sharing that so often with the world.

I don't know if there has been any payment processing issues lately; it has happened before, where MasterCard specifically refused to process payments for one Patreon user for political reasons. What I do know is that recently a lot of people have abandoned Patreon in protest to them banning several users who make politically-orientated content; those former users ended up moving to alternative platforms like SubscribeStar, which was almost immediately denied processing from Paypal and Stripe and has only recently gotten over that hurdle. This is an issue that I've been paying very close attention to, because I want to support you and the other creators I pledge to on here, but I cannot support how Patreon is denying some creators the ability to earn a living solely for ideological reasons...

Hey Arlo! I was one of the guys who "dried" the pledge last month and I apologize about it. I have a huge respect for your content and effort. You even were my reason to come to patreon and you also were my 1st pledge ever! so I wasn't very familiar with it and got caught up in the moment, but miscalculated what I could offer at the time. But I want you to know that once I make patreon a regular part of my life I'll make you rich! Whatever you decide, I'm right here with you and will double the pennies I had to take back. You just wait and see. <3

I love you too Arlo! I'm a new patron, though I've watched your videos for a long while. After your public podcast that you posted, I was sold on becoming a patron. Seeing your fuzzy face or listening to your enthusiastic, uplifting voice always makes me smile!

Hey arlo!! You're a super cool dude. I know everyone has already said it, but patreon charged me the 4th as well. I don't think this is the first time it's happened before though, so I wonder what's causing it? Kind of worrisome, especially for content creators. Also I hope you have fun at the cons you're going to this year!! It would have been cool for you to go to retropalooza again (since it's in driving distance) but I'd much rather you have a great time at a new con and give other fans the great experience I got <3 just keep up the super great work!!

Quazillionaire

Hey... Nice update you got there... For the record, I'm still interested in your jalapeño popper recipe. :P

That’s too bad I can’t see you again at Retropalooza again, but I guess that means I have a more incentive to go to Arlopalooza this year ;)

CroakPad

I didn't get charged for my Patreon pledges this month at first because I didn't have enough money in my checking account. It's all been taken care of now, though I can't say that the same thing is happening to everyone else.

Aaron Rowan

Hey! All sounds great. Would love to see you come to a UK comic con one year when you get the chance.

Hey Arlo! (I couldn't think of anything else better to say.... but you said to comment so.... here ya go!) I like your videos!

Cornhorn

I had a quick question that's kinda off topic. Im a huge Metroid fan and have played all of the 2d one except the original. But I've never played any of the prime games I have the first one for GameCube. Should I start playing it now or just wait for the inevitable Metroid prime trilogy release for switch. Also is the original Metroid worth playing?

Arlo

Thanks so much for being a patron! I'm definitely thinking of ways to bring let's plays back to the channel. Even if it's still just old games I hope to start doing it again soon!

Hey Arlo, I'm a new patreon, although Ive been watching your videos for around 18 months now. I have a suugestion, perhaps you could do some let's plays on newer nintendo games (like luigi's mansion 3 when it comes out) on your Arloplays channel in the future. Now you have alot more time perhaps you could fit it in? This is just a suggestion though, and I wouldn't want it to get in the way of the main event, your awesome Arlostuff channel!

Arlo

Hey, who knows! I think going to cons overseas would be awesome if I can manage it someday!

Arlo

Thanks! And hey, maybe someday I'll get to travel abroad!

Arlo

I LOVE THIS COMMENT!

Arlo

Well YOU'RE WONDERFUL!

Hi Arlo! I haven't commented on here, or on your videos before, but since you asked... You are by far my favourite youtuber! Thanks for being you, and for sharing your personality, your insights, and your experiences with us <3

PrincessJoySparkles

Yes, something was up with the Patreon payment processing this month. Usually I get an email on the first day of the month saying they charged my card but this month they didn’t process until the 4th. They had a page saying there was a delay in processing payments this month but I had to dig to find it. Anyway, I’m happy the creators I like have finally been supported. I found your channel recently and I’ve really been enjoying your videos. I’ve gone back into the depths of the archives and watched a bunch of your older videos too. I didn’t get a switch until they had been out for a while so it was fun to see the hype at the launch and in the early days. The switch is currently my favorite gaming system of all time. And this is probably way too long of a comment but you asked for comments so here you go:)

Hello Arlo! I'm following you from Finland, so I understand if you're not coming to an expo near me. I really enjoy your videos, and am so happy that your channel is doing better and better. Keep those videos coming, they are one of the the highlights of my week!

About not wanting to talk about anything because that could be made outdated thing: Personally, I love your opinion videos and do not mind if they become out dated by a Direct one day later. However, I get that this can be frustrating and doesn't help the viewer numbers. So why don't you use the quiet time to relax a bit? I know I know the YT algorithm is an issue, but worrying about this stuff isn't healthy and everyone needs a break sometimes. Ps: Any chances that you'll be at a convention in Germany someday?

Marcel de Jong

Not new. Also not able to go to any of the mentioned cons, because I'm from the Netherlands, hi from here, Arlo. +1 for the demo subject from me. Also how many years did Nintendo wait until a hardware revision for the DS and the 3ds? I think we can expect a similar strategy for the Switch.

kingofkarp

Not at all a new Patron but have never commented. I just came to say I never expected to see you use "XP" but somehow it seems in character enough. That is all.

I'm new, just saying hello from the UK. Also I love you're videos, keep up the good work.

Sounds great! I can’t wait for the Switch hardware video. I hope to go to Too Many Games as Philly is only a 1.5 hour drive from me! I have a video idea for you if you care: In Defense of: Demos. You can defend the notion that demos are bad for developers and talk about how demos are important for getting people to try your game and mention the Octopath Traveler Demo and the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire as examples, and continue on to say that indie developers should use them more.

Just dropping in to say howdy Arlo. Greetings from NC, you put out great content! Hope y'all can come visit a con or two soon.

Maciej Kuczyński

Wow, I checked the Patreon app to see if there are any new updates from you and a moment later a notification came about this entry. 😁 Nice one! About the Switch revision – if they're going to release a mini version, which would essentially replace the 3DS, do you think they'd go for a foldable design, something like the GBA SP? That would be pretty cool and it would make the device much more portable. 🤔

Definitely a good idea to switch to immediate payments. When I pledged I was able to afford it but then some stuff happened and I was just a hair short on the dough for a couple days (sorry about that, definitely wasn’t trying to get free perks). But yeah switching to immediate payments should help fix problems like that.
