What's on your mind?

What's on my mind?
Well... Let's take a quick peek, shall we?
OH JEEPERS, THERE'S A LOT IN THERE.   

Let's get started, shall we?

1 - My Youtube subscription has been very full lately... Not only because people are releasing more videos than normal (Cynical of TheGamersJoint is releasing 3 gameplay videos a day, and the UpUpDownDown channel is doing a livestream week with 1-2 videos a day) but because many of the usual videos are IN PARTS.   

Some are even two 4-minute parts of the same video, instead of one 9-minute video. It's REALLY starting to annoy me that almost every Youtuber has released their videos in many short parts instead of single videos. UpUpDownDown is the biggest offender, with 4-6 "Parts" a day, with another video split into 2-3 short parts as well, leading to 6-9 videos from one single channel. 

I get about 20-30 videos a day in my Youtube subscription box now, and there's no way I can watch them all, unless I wanna cancel all of my plans for the day... this "Part" business needs to cease to exist, there's absolutely no reason a 9 minute video can't stand on its own, except to get more advertisement cash from the split videos-- but the view counts on such videos significantly decrease when they do that. Many of them are in the low single thousands, when the usual videos get 100,000 in 2 days, so it's obvious that these split videos don't work... 


I kinda rambled on, but I've made a decision that until this "Part" business stops, I'm just not gonna release any of my gameplay videos. Peoples' subscription boxes are likely as full as mine, and I don't want to make it worse on them   

2 - My brother tried to get me into Hearthstone, but the game is a clear cash-grab. They make it extremely difficult to get Gold in the game, "Solo adventures" cost a ton of Gold that'd take a week or two to earn if you don't buy any card packs, and it's nearly impossible to win in the game against other people and their Legendary card spams. 
If you've never played Hearthstone, it's a fun game... but prepare to lose a lot if you do decide to play. I got lucky to be on a winning streak, but it didn't last long, as I ended up in a HUGE losing streak 

I'm considering quitting the game already, it's that bad 

3 - JAR JAR IS THE PHANTOM MENACE!!! TELL THE WORLD!!!
I've been getting a lot of praise for my Youtube videos by people, mainly for the quality of them. It's nice to hear these kinds of things, especially since I work very hard on them. I wanna put out a LOT more videos, but my upload speed is too slow for that. And with my subscription box being spammed by "Parts", I feel like if I did upload more, it'd be bad anyway. 
It would be nice to not have to do 12-hour uploads, though...   

I still wanna stream, too... but the upload speed required for that is... zany. And the amount I'd have to pay every month makes kittens sad 

4 - My mother and I have been doing a puzzle together. The pieces of the puzzle are VERY weird, and the puzzle itself barely stays together... guess that's what happens when you buy from Goodwill, huh? 
It's still a nice experience, though. It's been taking days to complete, and we still haven't finished. Tonight should be the night, though! 

5 - Two days ago, when my mother and I returned home from shopping, we found our door wide open. Apparently there were no signs of anyone breaking in, but the landlord had been around and said that the door was closed mere minutes before we go there. It's a little unsettling, so we've been taking extra precautions in case there's a pro lock picker in our area tryin' ta break in. The bell on the door might be the reason nothing was stolen, as it may have scared them away... but we're not taking any chances. We have plans AND spaghetti.
