Well, this might be it.
As I continue to struggle with my editing software (meaning little to no progress has been made on the movie), it's starting to dawn on me how much my, and so many others, personal information and privacy is at risk.
I don't care if I am of age to view "mature content" or not, I am NOT giving any ID whatsoever.
So here's what's going to happen. The movie's release on this platform is indefinitely postponed until further notice. It may be finished off YouTube someday, but it's release date remains in suspense. Any future music tracks will likely be uploaded to other sites from here on out, they'll likely release under the same name. Will I miss the fun? Certainly. But am I addicted enough to compromise my legal information and rights? Absolutely not.
If literally ANYONE is seeing this, do not give away your identification to this AI algorithm that as of writing, is hours away from purging potentially millions of accounts. Go to other video watching sites if you really need it, otherwise, do NOT go to youtube. Boycott, any creator who did follow through with this big brother move will lose revenue. If greed and control are the sole driving factors of this company (and it shows), show that they have absolutely ZERO control over you.
I'll say it again if you don't have the patience to read all this. Stay strong, boycott YouTube until they respect our privacy again. Until such a time this is fixed, this is (POTENTIALLY) a declaration of resignation. I do not quit editing, but I quit YouTube, and you should too. This will be my last post. Thank you for being there throughout the eventful first year and the relatively inactive second year of this channel, I wouldn't want it any other way until now.
‪@ahmadforjesus‬ if you're there (and if this link works) Godspeed man.

This could really be it. I'm saying it. I'm not cooperating with the AI, you cannot have my age or my verification. I'm onboard to boycott, to go on strike. YouTube, KISS MY ASS!!!!

Things are moving along smoothely with the movie, but that's not why I'm here today.
I normally don't speak on political matters on my own channel, but I feel compelled to speak on this (not that I'm a big enough voice for anyone to care). One thing I've always valued about the internet is the ability to access anything I want with the general responsibility to avoid things I deem "inappropriate" without complaining about it, and doing so without the internet looking over my shoulder, until now. Using "protecting the children" as a cheap scapegoat, the internet is being heavily censored. It started with Steam and Itch io, and now mature content, and political opinions are going to be suppressed which is a violation of freedom of speech to the highest degree.
Furthermore, I was also informed sites (YouTube being one of them) will start requiring additional personal information to get to bigger content and age verifications will be more strictly monitored. I am 18+ so it won't affect me, but it doesn't matter, youtube already has my email and name to set up this account. I do not need to tell them my gender, my SSID, or my government ID (the last of which, will supposedly be implemented on August 13th). If youtube asks for my full ID, then this platform can kiss my ass goodbye.
I'd like to remind folks that the net is not sacred, but neither are theses activists attempting to control how we think. I encourage loose people who aren't afraid to break the rules. Resist this change and defend your freedoms, say whatever the hell you want to say. Consider consequences, but do not fear or abide them.

Hope you all see this for what it really is and that this controlled, targetted, change can be reverted, and furthermore, censorship in itself can be abolished. If literally anyone takes the time to read this post, thank you.

Well, after 3 months of editing I finally reached the halfway point on my upcoming movie. Currently have around 65 minutes of runtime, so I think it's safe to say this will probably be my longest video to date, and probably ever, when it's finished. The second half will of course have it's own set of new problems, so I won't waste any more time.
And yet I find myself asking how it took me this long to reach this point. I made my sea of thieves movie in just under a month, and that was almost 2 hours. Im either getting rusty (which I can't really see, this is still only year 2 of this channel). Or my outside schedule is starting to eat me up.
Either way, I've stood by this long, im not giving up now. See you again... Whenever I hit another significative checkpoint I suppose

I'm continually running into delays and problems with scheduling and even software at this point (editing software is acting up more then usual). I figured I'd take another completely random thing off the top of my head and make another filler video.
But on the topic of the movie, just to give you an idea of how bad things are behind the scenes. I only have around 40-45 minutes of runtime currently, I'm not even a third of the way done. I am NOT giving up on this movie after coming so far already however
So basically I thought I'd let you all know this is an official declaration of a hiatus. If progress truly is this slow, then I shouldn't take time out of it to make more filler videos, I need to focus up and start working harder. I'll give updates when significant checkpoints are met. But seeing how everything is now being held up by this and I still have a long way to go, yes, I do need to take more time to get this done, a LOT more time.
So once again, I am declaring a hiatus from this channel. It will not be permanent, I will finish up the product and release it eventually. But until then, I have nothing else to offer.

I regret to inform progress on the movie has been painfully slow. Due to complications with scheduling, I'd like to remind folks that this is non-professional content and it can be abandoned for long hiatuses at any given time. I will try hard to not give up on the channel, but it could be well past a month before the movie is finished. Maybe I'll make more filler videos, maybe I won't, it depends

Well, it's time for more inactivity.
Yes yes I know. I disappear for a solid month, release only 2 videos and then disappear again. I know that sounds ridiculous so let me tell you why. There's a new movie underway (It won't be Markiplier). And none of you will know what it is. See you when it's finished!

As the real world keeps throwing more surprises my way, I'm going to take the time to give an update. After this post, I will not post again until April at the earliest, for reasons I will not disclose until a more appropriate time.
MUSIC:
5 songs in 4 months, I wasn't kidding when I said I intended to focus more on this. I have plenty more ideas lined up waiting to be made so expect this to happen every other release or so from now on. (But remember anything is possible for better or worse) I've learned so much using MIDI then ever before.
GAMING MOVIES:
I know people still want me to do another one revolving around Mark, Bob, and Wade. That hasn't slipped my attention and I'm still looking for a suitable session. But my next planned one is actually gonna revolve around Grizzy, Puffer, Pezzy, and Droid again, and work may begin much later as I focus on other projects.
LETHAL COMPANY:
My next release on this channel when I re-emerge will be a modded monster ranking. I acknowledge requests on the interior ranking and work has already begun. I also have another moon list stacked up that I will begin writing about at a later time if I still see the need to.
OTHER INFO:
Like I said in previous updates, I don't plan other content ahead of time like the categories listed. The Main Menu Medley is my longest one yet for those who haven't seen it. I've also made public playlists linking my content, for those who need help navigating the channel.
Have an amazing time, and I will see y'all again a little later!

Well ain't that something. This month was probably the most active I've ever posted for this channel so far, and they only manage to collectively bring in a little over 100 views. So much for all that, listen I know y'all want another gaming movie involving Mark, I'm thinkin about it give me time.
So yeah, I'm going back to a slower upload schedule after posting that interior ranking. I still have much more planned and in progress currently, but it will take more time to make and then upload. The month long wait for more content clearly didn't pay off as well as I anticipated, but oh well, I'm gonna keep going on my own schedule.
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! I'm going to try to upload at least one more video before the end of the year, the rest is a mystery. See you then!

Congratulations, President Donald Trump! It's an honor to be able to call him that for the next 4 years as he leads us to a brighter future then we could have ever imagined in the past 20 years or so (maybe more)

Will be inactive in October, so I do hope you enjoy the Devour movie and Halloween medley which were made specifically for the holiday season. More music and movies will be coming soon.
It's also come to my attention that my Lethal Company rankings are getting far more attention then I ever expected them to. But if that's the case, I got no heartburn making more.
So good news: I will review more moons and other features. Bad news: They will not be released in 2024. See y'all in November (hopefully)!
