May 2023 Production Update (Patreon)

Hello, friends. I hope you're well.

This month of May I've been releasing new director's commentaries on my Arby 'n' the Chief season seven episodes weekly for my Gosu subscribers on YouTube, Patreon and SubscribeStar, as well as four video tutorials on my production process exclusively for my Hax0r subscribers ranging from brainstorming, outlining and writing to live action recording and machinima staging and performance. The tutorials released so far amount to several hours of material that intercuts between myself and desktop and console footage capture.

I need some more time to finish the rest of the tutorials.

Based on previous updates of mine on Twitter you may have expected all the tutorials to be done this month. I'm sorry about that. They turned out a bit longer than expected.

As always, if any of my Patreon subscribers would like to be refunded for a month's subscription please let me know via direct messaging on the Patreon platform, it's easily done and I'm happy to do it.

Once my tutorials are done I'll be resuming work on my typical public uploads. Likely upcoming ones currently include a Mediabyss episode on the movie Jack and Jill or Timecop, Professional Reviews episodes on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Resident Evil 4 and others -- whatever I've thought of reviewing from a comedic or satirical angle I've found -- and an Arby episode that's a parody of the movie Akira.

I came close to finishing development of a big two-part Arby episode involving a dildo but I've halted that, perhaps only temporarily, upon realizing I could put my channel in jeopardy on the basis of nude depiction, even though my approach would be ridiculous and make it obvious that the dildo isn't real. It's a shame, I think the episode would be really funny. What bothers me about the situation the most is that releasing it on YouTube seems to be a roll of the dice regarding penalization (no pun intended).

I'm still picking away at writing Hard Justice in between everything else, it's a big project.

I'm also 35 years old today. That's almost 40. That's practically 50. I might as well be 100. That makes me literally over 100 years old. Time sure flies. Hard to believe 1988 was over 10,000 years ago.

Regardless, I continue to film myself playing with toys, but I think that's okay. It's been my favorite job, and I hope you still enjoy watching. Thank you all for your continued viewership, encouragement and generous support and I hope you stay tuned.

Cheers,

Jon
