Objectives Update
Greetings GGN,
Clearly 2026 is doing it's darndest to out fuck 2025 , but I hope you're doing well and remaining alive. I wanted to send out a little progress update/explaining of the no video this month. BASICALLY, it's looking like the SIREN video is going to be on the longer side, maybe even the longest game review I've done! The script is in excess of 50 pages. Turns out I had a lot to say about this one on top of it being a nightmare to organize in a coherent way. Plus the prospect of including several bits in POV "sightjacking" vision was simply too hard to resist. I mean, that's like the thing I'm always doing! It's a match made in THE UNDERWORLD. I'm excited to see it take better shape. I bought several VERY stupid props and bits of costume for the live bits. Some of them I'm not even sure how they will come into play, but just having them makes me laugh. All that to say, it needed extra time in hopes that it would be extra good.
I've been trying to be better about planning and sticking to the plan, so I've done a very adult thing and bought a whiteboard to keep track of progress on various projects. As of now I've been working primarily on SIREN and the plan is to then shift focus to a patron-only video that will...hmm...shall we say...return to a well I've visited before but with a spin to avoid getting content ID'd. I think the last handful of patron vids (the Lynch one especially) has emboldened me to try something once again. I think there may be some stupid-as-hell jumble of fast moving clips that you reach to completely bamboozle YouTube. I'm gonna give it one last hail mary on this particular topic hehe.
After that I will pick a game to cover from my personal to-do list and halfway through production run a new big ol' poll. Aside from that I've made a startling amount of progress on music. I've condensed all my half-finished tracks into a pile of about 15 that I'm gonna cut down to my 12 favorite and I've already got 4 completely finished in the last couple weeks. It's been a lot of fun finishing these finally and I think it has resulted in maybe the most personal yet genuinely dumb material I've made in a while. I even did a track in Spanish and showed it to my fluent-speaking mother who said it was great but on certain words I sound like a gringo :(
Oh and on the topic of merch, I've been waiting to recoup a bit before restocking, but I will along with a new design I've been work-shopping sometime in Feb hopefully. I'd say the store has so far been a success in so much as people bought them and I've only had 2 fuck-ups with international orders!
Anyways, I always get anxious as hell when it's reaching the end of the month and I have nothing to show you, but just wanted to pop in and say....THE PIPE IS STUFFED. Things are gonna start FLLLLLLLYYYIIIN' out soon. As always I'm endlessly grateful for your support. Without You I'm Nothing (great album btw)
Remain goth (or alt-adjacent at least)
Remain gaming (or watching associated content at least)
See you soon

My friends and I are looking forward to our grimby group watch to a degree that is frankly embarrassing. I say this not to rush you, but to basically let you know how much we love your work. You're the best. <3
Can you please include the song at the end of the Dark Seed video to the new album? I love that one
NextFest video???? You're the only person I trust with indie game recommendations!!
the longer the video is the longer i can keep rewatching it, personally i am always crossing my fingers for a bigbig mega multihour vid when it comes :)
Good to hear from you! You keep doing what you're doing!
take your time. never hurts to wait for good shit.
r.i.p. gringobeard, how's your own mama gonna roast you like that ☠️
You’re the best Grimbo
Excited for new merch and new videos bud. Stay safe and great work 🖤
You sound so excited!!! Hell yeah!!!
Hey, Grim, I ran across this video about this one guy trying to preserve Dos, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 gaming. He has an entire archive of working games that you can download and checkout. He’s a video on it: https://youtu.be/1ctHgSuQKm0?si=lMRAY8Udl--o_1yf
worth it for the 220 gb of gaming media alone.. megazines, catalogues, documentaries etc
Hell yeah
I am pretty damn excited to get a shirt and if you are cutting it that close on cost my first reaction to seeing the store was that the shirts were cheaper than I expected. I would like a shirt but I dont want you to lose money on the merch
All good Grim, tbh when I heard the next video would be SIREN I had a feeling it would take a while given that game's notorious structure for unlocking events/endings. I'll look forward to it.
Hearing new music is coming has me particularly hyped, you're one of my favourite artists. Looking forward to the new vids too, of course. Thanks for the update, Grim!
King shit, looking forward to the merch restock
Great content m8 new here so i will Stay Grunge lol all the best.
Hey GGN, does anyone have the name of a certain track that’s in the vids ? I’m trying to find the certain song; it’s sort of undulating in pitch with a weee waaaa sound: it’s normally in the story section of the vids. Thanks !!
His Soundcloud under the name GrimbeardX appears to have most of those tracks along with instrumental versions of some others. Not 100% which one you're after but I think he uses tracks like A Common Atrocity, I'm In a Blanket (instrumental) and Tubeworm (instrumental) and such in the background of his vids. I went borrowing there for a few tabletop games I was running a while back as they set a certain background ambience I really like.
Don't worry Grim, I'm the eldest of 5 Latino siblings and Im the only one who isn't fluent...🥺
based accomplisher
Just wanted to say hey GGN
Placebo! Gonna put that on right now.
THE PIPE IS STUFFED
Honestly happy you are taking your time for something you like, if the rumor are to be believed the rat review is gonna shake the world this time!
Glad you're doin well, Grim, was just thinking about your videos yesterday! I'm crossing my fingers that the patron video will focus on a topic that is "above" the "normal" state of things 😉 Cheers! Stay well!
I'm always looking forward to more of that sad, sleepy bird voice. Thanks for the great videos!
Stay safe and goth my friend (non parasocial)
Take care
Clearly the solution to the gringo problem is to have your mother record the vocals
The shirts sell out before I can get one... I can't even be mad, because that's just a testament to how much we all want to relive being mall goths.
much love, grimby!
Love ya Grim.
I wanted to say "I can't wait!" But I absolutely can wait for the longest video! patron content! Maybe more Para Pug!? Your videos are always the highlight of my day, so I CAN wait for the next one. Nobody rush this chef.
A white board is very grown up of you. I expect big things.
Oh well hello there Goth Gamer Nation
I know siren enough to know that game was probably a nightmare to cover in some ways, but im so so excited to see it. One of my most anticipated videos from you for sure. But im excited for any time you pop up regardless of music, video topic, or a patreon. This country is a fucking tragedy and isnt getting better but at least we've got you, Grimby. Thank you, and im glad you sound like youre having fun with it

Take all the time you need. Your videos are the sweet goth gamer nectar from which a single quivering drip rehydrates my withered husk of a goth-adjacent form. I can wait. (Was that too much? No... no. It was perfect.)

Yay! I've been rewatching the heck out of your previous patreon-only videos. I do crave more of those too...

Thank you Mr. G. I'm writing in my prayer journal to the devil (satan) that your work goes well
Its cool, my guy. Best of luck.
If that patron video is what I think it is then Sammy, we are so back.
