Howdy do. Welcome to the holiday season you absolute champions. 2023 is on the way WHICH MEANS there is only one more upload left this year. It might actually be a banger and the video above weirdly illustrates exactly what it will be about. Take a look.
Now you may be thinking, Daryl what am I looking for here? And if so, that's the point.
December 10th will be the first video I've done in a very long time that... actually involves exactly zero psychology. Believe it or not, it'll mostly be a video on cinematography and why what you just saw makes me physically ill. I've done a painstaking amount of reviewing old Pokémon footage, turn based RPG battle footage, and I am frankly... befuddled at how not just Pokémon, but a lot of RPGs completely fumble basic camerawork. In case you're curious to SEE my notes on each game, here you go: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J_hayECP3HJyhZrip_4c_4OobMwOZgnSL5COidJ0_bg/edit?usp=share_link
Now that being said, this will not be a 30 minute long dump taken on Game Freak's head. Instead, it'll be a 30 minute circlejerk for action scene camerawork and hopefully how Game Freak (and other devs) can take RPG battle systems and make them hit harder and flow smoother WITHOUT really even toughing character animations.
I hope that sounds fun to you because... writing a video with absolutely no mention of "study, subjects, researchers, or participants" has got me feeling some kind of way. It was an absolute roller coaster writing this. Rough in many ways, thrilling in so many more. Don't worry, psych will be back. This video simply didn't call for it. And I think that's making me a better writer.
Anyways, voiceover later this week, editing all next week, lo-fi editing stream next week as well, then the video goes up for you guys on December 9th. Shortly after that I'll get you caught up on commentary streams. I owe you one for November and December.
Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone, you might just find that by doing so, that zone expands a little bit :)
OH. HEY. Real quick... do you guys want new shirts?
