Hi all, I want to post updates for those who like to watch the livestreams over here more regularly. If it turns out to be something people like, I can make it more permanent.

The short-term plan is to play Metaphor: ReFantazio until completion, as I enjoy the game. There may be some Dead By Daylight stream sprinkled here and there since the Halloween event, and its tome is going on. The tome is temporary, but that's a maybe. Tome is a list of challenges in the game for those who don't play.

Other than that, not many games are coming out after Metaphor for me at the moment, so I'm not really sure what I'm going to do after, but either way, it'll be a good time.

Take it easy, and thanks for reading.

I'm going to roll back on doing one-hour videos as it's too much work for me to handle alone. I underestimated how much time it takes.

Hey everyone, I'm back with another update.

I will be trying out releasing the VODs in a one-hour episode format. I've been thinking that a four to eight hour VOD may be imitating, and cutting them into episodes may help some find their place more easily. That does mean that there may be up to 4~8 uploads a day. I'm not sure if that's too much.

As with everything, I'll see how it goes and go from there. On the stream side, I'll continue to dual-streaming on Twitch and YouTube. So far, I don't see any downside to it. I've started putting a chat overlay on so you can see comments from both chats together.

That's all I got this time. Thanks as always for watching!

Hey everyone, After 358 days, the Final Fantasy marathon is now officially over. It took 2442 hours and 50 minutes to get through 25 games. On average, we played around 6 hours and 42 minutes of FF daily. Thank you to everyone who said nice things about me for going through this.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, those who showed up almost every stream, and those who stuck around for the highs and the lows, and thank you for your support. I wouldn't have been able to do it without your encouragement.

Since 15 just started getting released over here, uploads of the marathon will continue into next year, hopefully finishing up around the end of January.

I wish everyone a Happy Holidays ❄

Hello, everyone; welcome to another update. Since I'm getting close to finishing the Final Fantasy marathon over on Twitch, I wanted to update everyone about an experiment I'll be running here on YouTube. Once the marathon is over, I'll be trying out dual streaming on both YouTube and Twitch, as I did back in 2017 before I got accepted into the Twitch partnership program.

I want to try it out for a month and see how it goes. Suppose it is something that people and myself enjoy. I may continue to do it, but if not, I'll be trying something else out, but we'll cross that bridge when the time comes.

Holidays are fast approaching. It's a busy time for many people. I don't know all the holidays worldwide, but I wish you and everyone around you a wonderful time.

Welcome back to another update post. Now that it’s been almost a week since the Lies of P Let’s Play has finished. I wanted to get your opinion on the volume of content on the channel since we’ve done three Let’s Plays with Resident Evil 4 Remake, Ada DLC, and Lies of P this year alongside our livestreams. Is it too much content on the channel, or is it just right? Are you enjoying them?

Secondly, I’ve been going back and forth with the idea of uploading the livestream 30-minute episodes. Some people came to me saying it would be better for the channel overall; how do you feel about it?

Lastly, there is also the chance I’ll be streaming on both YouTube and Twitch after the event Final Fantasy Marathon is finished on Twitch. If this does happen, then the 30-minute episodes wouldn’t happen, but I could focus on some Let’s Plays since the livestream VODS wouldn’t be uploaded in the video tab anymore.

As always, your feedback is appreciated and helps me deliver content the way you all like to see it.

Hey everyone, I wanted to do an update. I may do this bi-weekly if I make the Let's Play a regular thing. So, Lies of P is still in swing. I have two episodes per day coming out @ 3 PM and 7 PM EST. Making it three videos a day, with my Livestream VOD coming out @ 11 AM. I like this schedule, so I hope to make it the regular release schedule.

As we're still knee-deep in the Final Fantasy Marathon over on Twitch, the VODs will likely leap into the following year, as I'm around four weeks behind on releasing them here.

This year has been wild with releases, and I'm around 35 games behind from just this year, lol. I'd like to do some Let's Play of them as I don't think I'll have time to stream them all, and if time permits me, to record them in the first place. It is also valuable to me if you all want to see them. So, I'd appreciate the input if you could voice your opinion on the matter.

This is a list of stuff from this year that I'd like to stream or do Let's Plays of, but these are only some of the games I had in mind. Just giving an example.

Either way, thanks for reading this incredibly long post, and I hope you have a lovely week 👊

Hello there.

It's been a while since my last update, and I wanted to touch base with those who aren't following me on Discord or Twitter. Recently, I've been experimenting with adding shorts to this channel. Some were from my clip channel, while others were brand new. I was hoping that this new feature on YouTube that allows you to link related videos with shorts would help increase views on the original content. Unfortunately, the shorts didn't perform as well as I had hoped. So, I've decided to upload them exclusively on my clips channel for now. I want to thank everyone who watched and liked my shorts and for supporting my content on this channel. Your time and support mean a lot to me!

I wrapped up Resident Evil 4 Remake today. The last parts will be out over the next couple of days. There was stuff l liked better in this version and stuff that I liked better in the original, but I loved my time with this game and can't wait to play some more in the future 👍👍

If you have any feedback you would like to share about the Let's Play, along as it's constructive, not hateful, I welcome it. I'm trying to get a feel of if I need to put them on their own channel and if it's too many uploads alongside my other content.

Hi everyone. I've wanted to do Let's Plays of games I don't have time for on stream, like Resident Evil 4 Remake. Would y'all like them here or on a separate channel dedicated to Let's Plays?

Having a hard time making up my mind about this. Since I would like to have everything in one place, but at the same time, I think they may be too much being alongside the VoD uploads.
