Well... I thought I knew all/most of the DN story... Turns out I'd missed some stuff. Glaive vs Jan? Totally missed that- I
guess I'm caught up on
the Glaive stuff. Where can I find out about Jan vs. @Kingofmanga?
Watching the "Unironic stream," and I've stopped about the 8m mark because it's...
... hard to talk about.
I do some creative stuff- drawings, photoshop, writing, and I'm getting into video editing now (actually,
@Jackie Chin's work, during the Golden Age of DN, REALLY made me want to get into that shit!).
So it makes me reluctant to criticize others's works. It doesn't take ANY TALENT to say, "That opening sucks," or "That picture isn't as good as X" or "Your other stuff was better." And second of all, those people don't know what it's like, when it's just you on your own, in front of a computer screen (or whatever) creating stuff. They don't know how freaky it can be, showing off something you're proud of, and having it torn to shreds.
It's kinda like driving alone, in a snowstorm, and looking for a hotel - you don't know where you're going to end up, you just navigate the best you can, avoid the obstacles you can
see, and hope you don't wind up in a ditch.
It's really,
very easy, to create something, think to yourself "this is the shit! They're going to LOVE this!" and have it bomb horribly. It's also a pretty unique flavor of discomfort/embarrassment, and it can get crappier with age- like rancid vinegar.
So, as someone who's had
more than a couple of misfires myself,
believe me, I take no joy in saying, "this isn't working for me,
@DeagleDad420. Doesn't seem like it's working for other folks, either."
I wonder - Why is it, that you're doing this
now? Why did you first become Jace, and make videos? Because it seemed like you were having fun
a lot of fun. Like, you were
just barely keeping it together for the camera, and you might lose it to hysterical laughter, at any given moment.
This doesn't feel like you're having fun. It seems more, like you're doing it for a paycheck. This feels like a Queen reunion tour,
without Freddie Mercury.
I hope it's all part of a big setup/payoff, like the first half of Dune. Otherwise, I hope you can reconnect with the enthusiasm and energy, that made Jace so much fun to watch.
