Updates, updates, updates
For those who've been keeping up with me through the YouTube community tab or on Twitter/X, you may have heard that I re-uploaded the Baroque video. YouTube age-restricted it, gave me no explanation, and rejected my appeal. This immediately stopped it from being recommended to people or showing up in searches, plus not everyone can watch it on my channel page either. To help the longevity of that video, I made some minor edits and re-uploaded. I hated having to do that, but the video was very popular and--before the age-restriction basically torpedoed it--it was pulling in a lot of new subscribers to the channel.
The original version is still viewable here in the last post. I've only unlisted that video, not deleted it. I also unlocked it for free members. You still need to go to YouTube to watch it, can't watch it embedded here, and you need to be signed in, and blah, blah, blah, all the other bullshit YouTube requires for their age-restriction.
ANYWAY, aside from that, I'm editing the Haunting Ground video and hope to have it available early to all paid members by the middle of next week.
Many people speculated that the original Baroque thumbnail may have been the cause of YouTube's pearl-clutching, so I'm going to make the most wholesome thumbnail I can for Haunting Ground--one of the most disturbing horror games ever made. YouTube ain't got shit on me.
Dungeon Chill. Out.

Passive-aggressively making a wholesome thumbnail for a disturbing horror game - Chad move. Sorry about the YouTube shenanigans.
The irony of Haunting Grounds being much more... harsh content than Baroque and trailing behind the Youtube nannying isn't lost on me. Only way it could be topped is with something like Rule of Rose. Hope it didn't get you down too much, king, your content keeps shining either way!
Thank you! I wasn’t discouraged much. If anything it made me want to work harder on the next video.
For once I agree with youtube's decision to limit exposure to the original video, BUT on the ground of it not having promised cute dog footage.
I'm making up for it in the Haunting Ground video. Promise! I wrote an entire ode to dogs section. Not kidding.
Man YouTube needs to lighten up. They're so hung up on their sponsorships that they're sterilizing the platforms. It's no wonder so many creators are abandoning the platform. Hopefully someone makes a site that can be just as successful without all the forced censorship over such small issues.
Yet my Dead of the Brain video is still perfectly fine. That's the first one I would have thought would be the victim of this.
