But yeah firstly the entire time I drew this i thought I was cursed like seriously first I had problems by even starting to draw, because literally everyone wanted something from me.
And after I was finally finished I lost the entire 6 hour screen recording and yeah I’m done
I want to talk about the discourse recently regarding my new editor. This has nothing to do with Robin so please keep him out of it and leave him be.
Some context for those not in the know. Recently I hired someone new to help edit the IRL/Non Gaming content on my channel. Main reasons being that it was a lot for Robin to take on alone and also Robin isn’t up to date on meme culture or actively partakes in it so I brought on someone who is. I also just wanted to create more content and having one person edit all of it is a huge strain, especially with an occasional ramp up into 2 vids a day again when I could.
I will admit my screening process for this person was none at all, that’s on me and I should have done better. People went to their twitter and found a bunch of bad tweets, some were edgy jokes while others were “jokes” that I vehemently disagreed with. I brought this up with the person and they agreed that they were bad and deleted them. They were about 16 when they wrote them which normally I would let slide cos God knows I was a fucking idiot at that age but I think that’s a poor excuse in such a connected and social media driven world we’re in now. I had a huge internal struggle about what to do, I took about a week and ultimately told them that I would keep them on but it could absolutely never happen again. They agreed and showed genuine remorse for the tweets and it was clear that that’s not what they actually believe and agreed they were dumb. I wanted to give them a second chance and prove that they could learn and grow and I wanted to be mature and adult about it. Not just cut and run when things got bad.
However I have ultimately decided to let this person go and not work with them again. Not because of hyper critical nay sayers and “haters” but because some people in this community were genuinely upset about it. They lost faith in me and felt like they couldn’t trust me anymore because it flew in the face of everything I had morally stood for and preached about before and they were absolutely right. I can reason out everything and debate it back and forth all day but at the end of the day if some honestly great people in this communtiy were genuinely hurt by this, then it’s not worth it. I want my channel and this community to feel like a safe place for you to feel like you can be your true self and connect with other people who feel the same. To build each other up and treat each other with respect and have fun and me hiring this person went against all that. So I wanted to give a genuine,honest apology and say that I am very very sorry. No excuses or anything like that,I was wrong and I fucked up. I want people, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community to know that I truly stand with you, now and alwaty.I’m so very sorry if you lost faith and trust in me over this.
I haven’t been myself lately and coming here these days or most social media honestly fills me with an incredible amount of stress and anxiety. Hiring someone to help with the load was supposed to ease all that but in the end made things a LOT worse. I hear your concerns,I get it. I also miss the older days of the channel when things were nicer and I didn’t have to worry about things as much. The community was nicer and more connected and every day was an absolute pleasure. I promise that I will work harder to get us and the community back to a better place. I’m not a perfect person but I feel like some people, including myself sometimes, expect me to be and that level of pressure and expectation is sometimes too much to meet. I will try my best to find that magic again to create and bring the channel back to a place you’re all proud to watch and be part of. I will need some help along the way so I hope you can permit me some missteps along that journey but here’s to a better time in 2020.
This may be a galaxy brain take but hear me out… I think we may be missing the forest for the trees.
Remember that we got two videos back-to-back this Halloween: Absolutely Awful ASMR and Jameson Jackson’s Jolly Jaunts. Both use alliterative titles after an edit. Both call back to each other more often than seems normal.
I am suspicious they’re two sides of the same coin.
Jameson pointed out two things as “not being clues” to the mystery of “who DID IT,” both of which were direct callbacks to Absolutely Awful ASMR. The banana…
And the bell.
I admit I’m paranoid, but I find myself wondering…
Just here to say @shimhaq absolutely killed it with this giveaway commission 🥰😍 I mean they always do an incredible job with any artworks they do but still. If you guys don’t follow this amazing artist then please do. Absolutely jaw dropping talent 💞 Whenever I got the message I requested a Marvin in the style he was done in before for @therealjacksepticeye
I was beyond thrilled whenever I got the message I won the Twitter giveaway that Shimhaq had. I was jumping around my room for 10 minutes at least and damn near tears. Never have I won a giveaway before and to win one done by an absolutely fantastic artist?? Let’s just say I was and still am incredibly happy 💞💞
Marvin looks absolutely incredible and I know I won’t be changing my wallpaper anytime soon. I cannot say thanks enough to Shimaq for having the giveaway.
I would also like to say please do not repost / steal / edit this. It is Shimaq artwork and my giveaway commission.
Ok so after some discussion with @pastel-punkish in the theory server, there are some interesting ideas worth sharing.
So at this part in Schneep's video:
It made me think of this orb thing in Stories Untold:
Then they mentioned another game where flying orbs play a big part: Observation. Again, there are parallels between that sphere and Schneep's video.
When Schneep's screen turns orange before the spiraling stuff. In Observation, when travelling to Sam's mainframe, we see this:
Potentially worrying ideas because of these connections?
Well in Stories Untold, we know Chase is tells Jack he needs to wake up, and also that the game in it's entirety is the really messed up memories of a man trying to come to terms with a traumatic experience (Chase in his video.)
For Observation, we have some outside force trapping people, and aligning different timelines to come together.
And in the very end, perhaps the most disconcerting, is that Sam becomes one with Emma at the end her timeline.
So, now we have Schneep, trying to learn about time travel, and possible connections to two videos that have to do with memories and time loops respectively, and his computer gets overtaken my some outside force. Now this all could be coincidental, but I thought it was worth sharing.
