the deepest dive into linus from stardew valley

king of my heart body and soul oohwoah

this was the MOST stressful video. if u didnt know i had major audio issues. as soon as i uploaded the video i started getting comments like "rip part 1's audio" "is the audio rly bad for anyone else??" and i was on holiday, i had published it and been like "im gonna relax now and play table tennis!" but no lol suddenly i was crying trying to figure out the issue :(

there were multiple warning signs that the audio was messed up that i should have heeded - my airpods didnt work with the video so i had to use different headphones, and when i uploaded it to capcut it refused to do captions for the first half of the video. i saw these as separate issues but in hindsight there was somethin wrong!

i still dont know how it happened but somehow the R audio channel (like how there's L and R) got reversed so it was essentially cancelling out the L one when listened to as mono audio. i went to bed thinking i couldnt fix it, being so mad at myself, then i woke up to messages from my husband (diff time zone cos i was on holiday) saying he figured out the issue. he went on the video and read a bunch of comments and ripped the audio from the video and opened it in audacity and played around with it until he fixed it 😭 thats love motherfucker thats love

so i was able to fix it and reupload! i ended up publishing the reupload from the beach haha and then i could relaxxxxxx. in an ideal world i would've waited a few days to reupload because i've heard that youtube doesnt like it when you reupload like immediately. but i had to get the rocket money sponsorship up by the end of august. and i do think that that affected how the video performed - it's doing ok, like its not tanking but i had higher hopes. if you've noticed the thumbnail for the video change like 8 times thats why 😭

anyway this is the one where i introduced the patreon so you've probs seen it!!! it was fun to do a different location to film, i worry the vids are a bit claustrophobic since im just sitting against a wall the whole time, and it was fun to be able to move around. im gonna do that in future vids definitely, like the sebastian one im thinking of going to the woods near where i live today and getting some moody b roll haha

i was rly worried i would say something wrong when having the discussion about homelessness, i try so hard to get the right information and have the most based nuanced takes lol but i still worry that i missed something or i would offend someone. but i have had 0 negative or critical comments about that so yay

okay we are now up to date with the videos!! omg!! theyre all hereeeee. is it easy to watch stuff on patreon? i was thinking i could do them unlisted on youtube too so it's easier for people to rewatch them, lmk if anyone wants that.

as i make more vids i will put them sponsor free on here for ya. i will TRY and also get them to you guys a little early but bc of my level of organisation i cant promise anything haha
