As the horror of 2022 comes to an end and births the misery of 2023 I thought I'd update you on the channel. Let ya know how things are running. Oh, first, if you hadn't caught wind of it, a collection of tracks I've been working on all year is now live on Bandcamp for free and Spotify. You can search me up, ignore the other guy with a near identical name and check it out. I really appreciate all those who have already downloaded it and had nice things to say about it. In a way that album stands as a symbol of the privilege I've been gifted by your support. I had the time and freedom to create for the channel and also pursue my silly hobbies. Thank you so much for that. It's kind of strange, in the leadup to making the album live, I had firmly decided that, "I don't think I'll make any more music beyond backing tracks for videos." But as I saw it up there and saw it actually getting downloaded, I was filled with a yearning to create more and started jotting down some ideas for future projects to feed my parasocial addiction to your validation. My NEED to show someone my nightmares and have them nod their head and say, "neat".
In the video department, work on my video for THE DARKNESS is going smoothly and in the editing process. I found a lot to pack into it from personal experience to it's source material and as it stands, without any of the live bits or anecdotes I think up along the way, it's at 1.5hrs. That's subject to change a lot I'd imagine though.
In between videos I'm usually working on a side project of sorts. That used to be the album, before that it was a point and click game and then an animated short, but for the past couple days I've been editing another video that at the moment I'm unsure if I'll even end up posting. It's non-game related and a work in progress. It's kind of like a weird analysis of a piece of paranormal media which I consume copious amounts of. It being unrelated to games, I'd imagine it would die in the dark on my channel, but I've wanted to make it for a long time and it's just something I need to see through I guess. If I'm not confident in it, maybe I'll drop it here. I feel like it's conceptually something Jenny Nicholson might do, stylewise, but I'm having to deal with the fact that I have no "on-camera" corporeal form. And as many comments have told me over the years, the very concept that I appear in some form other than a disembodied set of hands would be terrible, but I'll figure out a way to have the best of both worlds.
So, looking forward at 2023, I've done something very uncharacteristic...I've PLANNED to make videos about specific games. Maybe I've spent too much time admiring Sphere Hunters work ethic, but I'm actually gonna set like....ambitious goals....and uh...see them through? One of these games will be very on brand for the channel, the other might cause chaos. I assure you, our bond as goth gamers may be tested during this period. But, I'm mostly confident that the content will be worth it and I'm planning some live bits that will actually involve a little TRAVEL. I might have to greet the cruel light of day after years spent entombed for the sake of content. I'm actually like...Optimistic? I think that's what this is ๐ค
It's weird.
I don't think I like it yet.
But, I can't repeat enough how much your support has enabled. How many dumb ideas it will birth and how many basic survival needs I now have met plus a little change left for gamer drinks. You're everything, GGN
THIS YEAR. Let's do some gaming for once ๐

You should come to Cold Waves in Chicago homie, we had a blast last year. Some old school waxtrax heads

I really loved the nocturne remake, especially the story section. I would 100% watch a non game related documentary from you. Something historical or paranormal, could call it Grim Histories or some such thing. Please consider it. Also have a great year!

You said "paranormal media". My brain thought "ARG". Either sounds fun.

Hello! I loved your album so much I decided to join the patreon. Iโve legitimately been listening to data implant on repeat. So excited for your work this year!
Breeze McMothman
I think getting some paranormal content would legitimately super cool. Just hearing your analysis on like ghosting hunting shows would be super sick honestly, and I feel like I'd watch anything you put out even if it's not necessarily Video Games.

Love ya man, make sure you are taking time for you too. This is a purely selfish request, I don't want you to burn out and stop making stuff.

Happy new years to all :)

It's actually on Spotify! Heck yas! The album sounds amazing and I'd definitely look forward to anything more you end up producing. If it's not music though, I think you shouldn't feel restrained in what you can or can't put up on your channel. You have a wholesome community, so I can't see them not appreciating anything alternative you might upload either. I know I wouldn't, anyway. You're doing incredible work! <3

Two thousand thirteen more like grim beard tickle my spleen. Really excited about what you have planned dude

The album rocks ! Do not stop making music my man, and by all means post whatever you want as i will consume it all ! Hope you have an amazing 2023, your content just keeps getting better !

I *rarely* actually log on to my Patreon account, but, for some reason, I did just now... So stoked to see this update from ya, Grim. Can't wait to give the new album a spin (I bought it immediately after reading this update). Always love yr tunes, and (as a fan of more than just your gaming content) I especially can't wait to see what your channel brings in 2023!!!
M!
Gaming is your core material, but I've really enjoyed when you go outside of that. I rewatch Darkened Streams regularly. Great year on your channel, looking forward to the next.

Keep doing your thing man. Glad you're thriving as a creator -- in the truest sense. Cheers!

The new album is an absolute slasher, I love hearing about any media you talk about, and I'm excited to see what this year brings. Keep gothing keep gaming (and whatever else you wanna do)

Keep doing what you're doing man. Killing it.

Love the album, excited for The Darkness, praying The Dark Lords Below this untitled paranormal media project is a Darkened Streams take on Ghost Adventures ๐๐๐
Tyler Collins
The album is absolutely killer holy shit man ๐
SimplyCifer
Excited to see more content outside of games! As 1 of the 5% who watched the hell out of Darkened Streams, I think it's interesting to hear your opinions on other media.

When I saw the post's image I immediately thought how it would make a kickass album art.... and it is indeed a kickass album art lol.
Daniel Czarnowski
I will watch anything you upload GrimDad
