So as you all know, the Nightmare on Elm Street iceberg will be releasing this month! Probably around the 10th or so. And with that means more hot takes! So let's hear em or read em I guess. I'll start.

I actually prefer Freddy being super goofy and funny. For example I love the power glove joke lmao. That's not to say I don't like serious Freddy or the serious Elm Street films. The original, Dream Warriors and New Nightmare are easily my favorite films in the series (basic opinion I know lol) but if I had to choose between Freddy being mostly serious or mostly goofy with some serious stuff thrown in, I'm gonna choose goof.

You can watch roughly thirty minutes of the Nightmare on Elm Street iceberg right now if you're a $5 member. You'll also get your name read in the video's outro!

Learn all sorts of things like the two dumbest Elm Street fan theories, how you could talk with Freddy in real life by calling a phone number in the 80s, how a popular horror series killed the second Nightmare on Elm Street remake, how a promo game for the 2010 film had one of the most messed up gameplay mechanics ever made, how Alice's story wraps up in a comic series and how Robert Englund's final performence as Freddy was in a sitcom!

Video is halfway completed. Will be on the shorter end, most likely little over two hours similar to Attack on Titan or DOOM.

Idk, have fun!

Just don’t be bad. Use common sense. Don’t be a bigot. Don’t use AI. Also you have to be a subscriber for at least a week in order to make a post. Alright, cool? Bye!

Hey everyone! Quick PSA! Youtube has automatically turned on restricted mode for a bunch of users. And for some reason, if you have restricted mode on, all but three of my videos from this year along with most of my 2024 videos just don't appear. They're locked away from you. Just a huge heads up to go to your Youtube settings in the top right of your screen and turn off restricted mode. Idk why Youtube hates its creators so much but, it is what it is.

Next iceberg video will be out in October. Another non iceberg video coming very soon (maybe a new series? It's Call of Duty related)

A message:

For a while I've gotten comments from people claiming I use AI voice overs in my videos. Obviously there are some who say this just to troll and I expect these to ramp up after this post goes up. But there are genuinely quite a few people who think I use AI. So let me explain what I think is going on.

It shouldn't come as any surprise that I have autism. I mean look at the videos I make lmao. I also have some kind of speech problem. I have no idea what it is, maybe it comes from the autism or IS the autism idk, but it's hard for me to pronounce things and I generally speak weird sometimes. This happens especially when I record videos. For about twenty minutes of audio in each of my videos, that usually takes me an hour and some change to record. I believe the longest was forty minutes of audio took nearly two hours (this was for the Star Wars Iceberg Remaster if I remember correctly).

This is a result of me sucking at talking. There are multiple points in my recording sessions where I sound like I'm having a stroke or get really mad and have to calm down because of how much I'm messing up and not pronouncing something right. Or my brain just shuts off. There are literally times where I'll start recording audio and my brain just stops working, I stop talking and it takes me a good three or so minutes to say a single sentence. It's like some normal sentences just become tongue twisters. This also stems from the fact I most likely have some form of dyslexia. I was able to read fine as a kid but as I've gotten older reading things became insanely difficult for me. I'm not gonna self diagnosis myself because I think that's cringe but it wouldn't shock me if I have some kind of dyslexia as my dad has it.

I'd upload bits of the recording audio but I'm insanely embarrassed by them. You can actually see an error I made in the Flash iceberg. In the novels entry I had one of these mess ups and I accidentally left it in the video. Some people noticed and you can see some of the earliest comments wondering if I was having a stroke. So I used youtube's editor system to cut that error out. You can see where the cut is because the background footage skips.

I'm fine with making light of this aspect of me, it's why the two Q&A videos I made are literally titled, "man stumbles and stutters." But when I'm accused of AI it genuinely messes with me mentally. This year has been very rough mentally for me. I'm not gonna get into it outside of me generally feeling like a failure, and this doesn't exactly help.

I despise AI. I used to think AI in memes was funny like "insert character plays this game" or w/e but I've grown to hate even that kind of content because I feel like it's a slippery slope. And the idea that there are actually people out there who think I'm part of this problem, I'm one of these awful content farm channels rotting people's brains with AI and replacing actual voice actors and talented people is just...well, I already said it. It messes with me hardcore.

I already have this irrational fear that fellow creators look down on me because they think iceberg videos are just easy content slop stuff. And I understand why some would think that because there ARE people who do AI narrations and even AI scripts. But I'm not one of these people and despise the use of AI in any part of video creation. It's soulless garbage.

In regards to pronouncing words, I try my best. When there's a word I don't know or a word that's in another language I always try to figure out the correct pronunciation. But there are going to be mistakes sometimes, I'm only human. And yeah sometimes I pronounce the same word different ways, I don't really get it but it is what it is.

My point with this big rambling mess of a post is that I don't use AI and I believe the reason why some people may think I do is because of my speech problems. I know that expressing this is just gonna make some people write troll comments but like, not only does that help with the algorithm but I know they're troll comments because they'll be posted in the days following this post so they won't bother me. I swear to you, I will never use AI ever. For images, for narration, for scripting or editing. I do everything myself and will continue to do that because I want every video to feel like it was made by me, something that I'm proud of.

I apologize if this comes off as me going "woe is me" but I needed to just explain myself because I'm tired of replying to comments explaining this. I'm always trying to improve. I've tried and will continue to try and stop with the "uptalk."

Green Lantern iceberg is coming out in the next few days, I'm actually about to start rendering it so hope you're excited for that. Video is three hours and fifty minutes long. Stay safe and I hope you have a great day!
