Objectives Update

Greetings GGN,

Clearly 2026 is doing it's darndest to out fuck 2025 , but I hope you're doing well and remaining alive. I wanted to send out a little progress update/explaining of the no video this month. BASICALLY, it's looking like the SIREN video is going to be on the longer side, maybe even the longest game review I've done! The script is in excess of 50 pages. Turns out I had a lot to say about this one on top of it being a nightmare to organize in a coherent way. Plus the prospect of including several bits in POV "sightjacking" vision was simply too hard to resist. I mean, that's like the thing I'm always doing! It's a match made in THE UNDERWORLD. I'm excited to see it take better shape. I bought several VERY stupid props and bits of costume for the live bits. Some of them I'm not even sure how they will come into play, but just having them makes me laugh. All that to say, it needed extra time in hopes that it would be extra good.

I've been trying to be better about planning and sticking to the plan, so I've done a very adult thing and bought a whiteboard to keep track of progress on various projects. As of now I've been working primarily on SIREN and the plan is to then shift focus to a patron-only video that will...hmm...shall we say...return to a well I've visited before but with a spin to avoid getting content ID'd. I think the last handful of patron vids (the Lynch one especially) has emboldened me to try something once again. I think there may be some stupid-as-hell jumble of fast moving clips that you reach to completely bamboozle YouTube. I'm gonna give it one last hail mary on this particular topic hehe.

After that I will pick a game to cover from my personal to-do list and halfway through production run a new big ol' poll. Aside from that I've made a startling amount of progress on music. I've condensed all my half-finished tracks into a pile of about 15 that I'm gonna cut down to my 12 favorite and I've already got 4 completely finished in the last couple weeks. It's been a lot of fun finishing these finally and I think it has resulted in maybe the most personal yet genuinely dumb material I've made in a while. I even did a track in Spanish and showed it to my fluent-speaking mother who said it was great but on certain words I sound like a gringo :(

Oh and on the topic of merch, I've been waiting to recoup a bit before restocking, but I will along with a new design I've been work-shopping sometime in Feb hopefully. I'd say the store has so far been a success in so much as people bought them and I've only had 2 fuck-ups with international orders!

Anyways, I always get anxious as hell when it's reaching the end of the month and I have nothing to show you, but just wanted to pop in and say....THE PIPE IS STUFFED. Things are gonna start FLLLLLLLYYYIIIN' out soon. As always I'm endlessly grateful for your support. Without You I'm Nothing (great album btw)

Remain goth (or alt-adjacent at least)
Remain gaming (or watching associated content at least)

See you soon
