Hi everyone, here's the update for the Patreon budget. Sorry I wasn't able to get to it last month, it was a bit wonky in terms of keep track of finances for the channel. Here's the link:

2022-07-21 00:13:05 +0000 UTC View PostFor the folks who listened to this, it's back! I've skipped a few episodes because I wanted to talk about something that I had a lot of fun making, which is the Japan Sinks video. I'll be moving forward on a semi-frequent basis on them.
If you'd like me to respond to questions, please respo...

Hi everyone,
One of the frequent exit surveys I get is "Pause and Select isn't as active as I expected," which I think is a totally fair criticism. I made a video in hopes of gathering a lot more thoughts on that angle, and see if folks would be interested in more general content on the sec...

Hi everyone, here's the first draft of the paripi koumei script. I'm going to work on tightening it so it'll be very rough around the edges, and admittedly it's not as much about Paripi Koumei as much as people think, but it was meant to be more of a general exploration than a "I've solved it!" s...
2022-06-25 01:54:23 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, sorry I'm late on things again, as many of you know I'm working on a Paripi Koumei script, and that includes reading some of Eiji Yoshikawa's Sangokushi. I translated the opening section for Yoshikawa's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'm not a translator by trade, so it'll be deeply ...
2022-06-19 22:52:55 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
I know that times are tough and sometimes having recurring payments aren't the best for people. So with that in mind, I made a ko-fi account for people who want to support the channel but DON'T want to be stuck in the Patreon monthly payment.
Hi everyone, I've started writing the next script, I'll upload it when I'm done in the coming days. My hope is to keep it fun and digestible. It was a decent amount of nonsensical stuff that I kinda regret doing (like looking up old Japanese books to verify one-sentence claims), but hopefully eve...

Sorry it's taken so long on everything.
I'll be reviving the production podcast, it'll just be me cause Skrullz is on ???sabbatical??? (I don't have a better word for it). I was going to continue where I left off, which is just after the Jin-Roh video, but if you want me...
2022-06-03 17:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Just updating y'all on the progress, currently working on Paripi Koumei video at the moment, I'll try and keep it short, I know it jumbled around the order of all the videos, but the P4 video is still around!
2022-05-30 19:53:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, it's that time of the post-video again: asset uploading time! These are most of the assets used for Japan: The Platform Superpower. I tried to pick out the ones where I didn't do anything to the images, but hopefully too many of them in there aren't hanging around.

2022-04-30 21:34:04 +0000 UTC View PostWOAH! Five years on Patreon, and Skrullz has produced 100 tracks of audio for the videos. This is absolutely insane.

Hi everyone,
As usual, here's the current progress on my My Dress Up Darling video. I haven't yet integrated the sponsor section so it's black, but this is the rough cut.
Sorry for any technical issues, if it's fixable I'll fix it. This is slated for this Thursday.

Hi everyone,
it's that time again - video making time! This is my script for a stray note on My Dress Up Darling, which talks about a small but I think interesting perspective, and that is otakudom and performativity.
As always, I am more than happy to make changes or suggest...

Hello everyone, I hope y'all are doing well!
It's that time of the week again! I started rendering those around 6 and a half hours ago, so I gave myself a lot of time to get this uploaded before I go to bed (I got to work early in the morning).
Anyhow, here's the latest progress on th...

Hi everyone! Here's another bit of progress on the next video.
Made a decent amount of progress, so currently I'm on track for February.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I'll see if I can fix them!

Hi everyone, here's the current progress! My goal is to get it done and submitted to Marc to check by the beginning of February, that way I can get started on the next video ASAP. I think I'm fairly on track, hopefully I don't run into further snags.

Hi everyone!
As promised, this is the current weekly progress on the next video. As always, audio and SFX are last, so everything is all super loud and in-your-face.
I'll be modifying a few things, mainly because it's so much easier to notice little things I wanna change after renderi...

Hi everyone, here's my current progress on the next video. There's a lot of minor things I'll still change, but this is the first five minutes. As always, I'll update everyone with the weekly progress.

As promised, here's a bit of a talk on sliders, what slider I use, and some things I keep in mind when moving camera along an electric motor.

I will be transitioning out of live reactions into movie reviews for the 5 dollar patrons. I will have a spreadsheet for all 5 dollar patrons up this weekend, and it'll be on a first listed, first served basis.

Hello, here is the commentary on camera setup and basic thoughts for the progress on the next video, currently titled 2021-11-04.

Hi everybody, as you all know, I'm exceedingly bad at fulfilling live reaction requests.
Thus, I'm changing the context a bit to do a monthly reaction, so live reactions will happen every month, with a maximum of 30 minutes per submission.
I'll make a post sometime this week for Novem...
