Hi all. Jokes aside, 16:30 of the video is complete.
If you aren't aware, 2 days ago I had to delay the video by an entire week. I have since worked tirelessly to patch up the segments of the video between the parts that I cut out (which took an entire day!) as well as chug along with new content for you to try and get this video out. As a result, the video has gone from being delayed by a week to being delayed by about 6 days. Nice.

Besides that, I'm very confident with what I can do for the rest of the video. It is a relief knowing that I do not have to deal with the weighty and lengthy implications of setting up future, difficult work, and simply do what I like doing and make a video I like making. Thanks for the patience, everyone. This video has been abysmally slow for various reasons.

1) The game is very technically hard. To do the specific things that I want, I have to do more, and getting payoffs for setup shots is much harder because of NPC RNG.

2) The shots are harder to get. I am doing a more review-style video. I am jumping between a bunch of differing scenarios and differing locations, with different weapons and different clothes. It takes longer to script than being restrained, like in Elden Ring, to the next logical area.

3) My script is more abstract. I am talking about subjects not related to gameplay or what's happening on screen, trying to tell stories that are a little funny. Usually, they are jokes about American issues from real life. This makes getting footage harder.

Probably 75% of my work is just how difficult it is to get the correct footage. That is all. But, the quality of every shot will shine through in the final product. I am trying not to over-edit. I feel like this video is really relying on visual comedy in a good way.
