It happened!! "Fleeting Shadows" just recently became my first ever video with 1 MILLION VIEWS! Thank you so much for all your listens and continued interest. This was only possible because you guys liked it enough to put it on your playlists. I've been looking forward to this for months, and that straight line made me certain it was just a matter of time.
This is the most elaborate trap email I've ever seen. It even had a gif animation showing what they wanted me to do. They were pretending to be Nvidia, and they had several convincers in the email. The only reason I saw through it was because I examined the link. When I hovered it, it showed a very legit looking URL with one letter missing. I thought it was a typo, so instead of clicking the link I downloaded the app directly from the Google Play store. It wasn't a typo. It was a trap site. Be extremely careful out there!
Hi, I'm alive. I never wanted this much time to pass between uploads, but sometimes life gets really hard for an extended period of time! In addition to personal challenges, I continue to be out of work, and fixing that problem ASAP has been my top priority. Ironic as it sounds, I need a new job so that I have time to work on YouTube again.
In the meantime, I have still been streaming every Sunday at 11am Pacific at twitch.tv/JonathanBarouch ! I'm also adding a few more streams in the coming month to try to qualify for Twitch Affiliate. The first of these extra streams will be Friday (tomorrow for many of you) at 7pm Pacific. I'm playing Civilization VI for the first time, against Corina Boettger (English voice of Paimon) who will also be teaching me poorly in real-time. It would be cool of you to stop by!
Every day, I think about the countless videos I still want to make for you all. It's very rude of time to not have a pause button. I will return to video production as soon as I reasonably can. Until then, my heart is still with you.
A year ago today I published my most successful video to date - and it wasn't a video essay! "Fleeting Shadows" has just as many listeners today as when it first came out. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your playlist. This is a picture of the project file. You can follow along as you listen using the timeline along the bottom. This shows which parts of the two tracks are used, and when. (The colors have nothing to do with the ones in the video.) I had fewer options with "Fleeting Words" because I only had the two layers listed. Shadowlord [1] is... hmm. How do I explain this without spoilers? Shadowlord [1] is before the cutscene where someone looks out a window, and Shadowlord [2] is after that.
I'd like to make some small changes to the scale degree color-coding I use in the channel. But will that make videos I've already released harder to understand? Old: Active scale is the rainbow, and accidentals break the pattern New: The tonic is still always red, and the rest of the octave is just a simple, smooth gradient through the rainbow.
To prevent unwanted notifications, I'm moving my livestreams to a new channel, @JonathanBar2ch! We're starting with a fresh playthrough of NieR: Automata, and the following week we'll begin my first playthrough of Kingdom Hearts III. See you Sundays at 11am Pacific time!
Hey everybuddy! Just a reminder that if you like the recent remix, you should get the mp3 from the description quick, because the other remix someone posted is already gone from the Internet! Good old copyright law always working for the people and definitely never against. 😃 Have a great day!
The next two uploads will be "Grandma" and then (almost certainly) "Song of the Ancients" from NieR Replicant! The Patreon poll for what comes next goes live tomorrow night. The options will include
"Darkness of the Unknown" - Kingdom Hearts II "The 13th Dilemma" - Kingdom Hearts II "Cold Steel Coffin" - NieR Replicant "Fleeting Words" - NieR Replicant "Revived Power" - Shadow of the Colossus
There's room for one more! Which OST should the sixth option be from?
It took 3 months to go from 1k to 2k subs, and then 4 days to go from 2k to 3k. I don't know what changed in the algorithm, but I'm so happy you're all here! Welcome!
