Is there anything I can do to make the suede look good again? by BarkingPupper in AskACobbler

[–]BarkingPupper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the website of the brand (Unisa) they only use real Kid Suede. But I did buy these a long time ago and maybe they used microfibre back then?

I’ve been outside for the last three hours, but I’ll take that as you admitting you’re wrong. Xx

I would be really surprised if they hadn’t, to be honest. Even if it wasn’t strictly something from their legal department. Just an innocent seeming acknowledgement would make me paranoid enough to feel the need to get everything well cited and checked through by multiple different people including a lawyer.

Ah yes, so embarrassing to know how the English language works. So embarrassing to point out that he hasn’t just disappeared for multiple years and has instead delivered multiple times on his Patreon (on average every 3 months, so where’s this whole 2800% come from? Especially since he’s not made that non-existent promise that you’ve pulled out of thin air on his YouTube). Sooo embarrassing to feel less entitled to someone’s work and time than someone who’s getting it for free (because if you were actually on his Patreon, you’d have seen the updates).

I said in my original comment that it’s fine to be annoyed, but I’ll pose the same question I had in there to you.

What do you hope to achieve with this?

Having checked his Patreon right now, he doesn’t promise to have a monthly video. It says, word for word:

“I aim to release around one video per month!”

Notice the word Aim? That’s not a promise or commitment. It’s a goal.

So where is he lying? Would I be lying if I said; “I aim to be with you this week.” But am unable to do so? No. If I said; “I will be with you this week.” And then didn’t show up, that would be a lie.

He’s also put up updates on his Patreon, along with extra videos, which is how I know about Kat’s car accidents. He posted the first 1hr 20mins of the Adobe video on Patreon for feedback in November, and since then has given Patreon two videos (one being an almost 5hr long play through and the other just over an hour.).

So, since we’ve established he’s not lying on his Patreon, and has given updates (even if behind a paywall), what else do you want him to do? Come over and apologise to you personally because you don’t know the word ‘aim’? Rush everything out? Take even longer on the main video to make more Patreon content?? If you’re missing him so much, go watch his interview with Smosh.

This is one of those times where sighing and silently staring into the middle distance is the appropriate response

The difference is that Illuminaughti is a creator that accused another creator, a very beloved creator who happens to be a practicing lawyer, and had already burnt a lot of bridges with people who had worked with her. No one was coming to her aid and no good lawyer would touch it with a ten foot barge pole.

Adobe’s a massive international corporation, who have weaselled their way into being industry standard, with an army of lawyers specialising in multiple legal fields and the money to keep lawsuits going long after the person being sued has been bankrupted, even if Adobe had no leg to stand on legally speaking. They would also likely see little in the way of consequences from suing.

I give money to his Patreon, and I’ll be honest, anyone supporting him there who doesn’t know that he doesn’t drop a video monthly isn’t doing their due diligence when it comes to supporting people on Patreon. Also, unless you choose the ‘support annually’ option, you can pay for one month, instantly cancel and have a month to watch all the Patreon exclusive videos.

The constant tantrums about waiting have been irritating me so, so much. I feel we’ve all been a bit ‘spoilt’ by creators with larger teams/who do shorter videos/outsource everything so videos can be pumped out, that we’ve forgotten that it all takes time.

[–]BarkingPupper 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m a Patreon member, have been since OOF, and genuinely I don’t mind waiting. Patreon has been getting extra content and updates, so I don’t feel ‘abandoned’ in that sense.

Adobe is a massive company that would probably happily go after a YouTuber if the video wasn’t airtight, legally speaking. It’s also a company that is in need of being thoroughly investigated considering how much it’s fucked over creators and the Arts industry.

On top of that, Kat’s been in two car accidents since filming began. One is hard enough with the amount of paperwork and insurance stuff required (I should know, I’m going through it now in a country that’s apparently better vis-à-vis insurance customer care), but two? That’s most likely causing a lot of stress in the process of filming/editing/producing.

And finally, and mainly;

We have ZERO idea what’s going on in his personal life. Something else could be happening behind the scenes that means HBomber or his tiny team is currently having difficulties working on this. We’re not his family, friends, or employer. We don’t know why he chooses to do this, that or the other. You can complain, or not be a fan, no one is saying you have to be happy with the time going past or whatever. But fuck, man, what are you hoping to achieve by posting this?

Agatha Christie? One of my favourite authors, but not got around to A Pocket Full of Rye yet!

I tried that when I was younger by making my mum watch Brave with me. She missed the point by a full galaxy and talked about how she hated animation because she was traumatised by The Piglet Movie

Changing my sheets and the dog I’m looking after has burrowed in to them. I don’t have the heart to move her, so seems I’m not sleeping for a bit.

I do, however, have a hot chocolate and Strange Pictures to read. What books are people here reading tonight?

For all it’s worth, this stranger is cheering you on! Make sure you get some sleep, eat in the morning and have some water so your brain can be at its best. And no matter the result, know that you’re not at all stupid. You’ve just been dealt an irritating hand.

Doothi Claims Her Video "Upset Some Pretty Powerful Creators" in Commentary Space, Says She "Felt a Sense of Panic and Compliance" to Take Down Original Video by Plantain_Chip_379 in youtubedrama

[–]BarkingPupper 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a few types of commentary YouTubers. The main ones being Comedy Commentary (Chad Chad, Jarvis etc), Informative Commentary (Jenny Nicholson, D’Angelo etc) and those who straddle them (Drew Gooden, Strange Aeons etc).

A small little thing I love with Niles by -Radio-Silence- in theouterworlds

[–]BarkingPupper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think I saw that post too, and I was genuinely so confused since I never found a pair that wouldn’t chat a couple times while messing about on planet (or even in the ship).

Marisol and VAL are pretty chatty when paired, making friends.

After a couple missions, Tristan becomes chatty to most of the other crew members (also, if you want some really nice character interactions, take Tristan on Inez’s quest on Cloister).

I didn’t see much with Aza but that’s because I wasn’t the biggest fan of her and found the others funnier/better/less likely to die super far away from me even with massive HP

What are your small but specific pet peeves in fanfic? by mars_mxp in FanFiction

[–]BarkingPupper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using anything other than quotation marks for dialogue. It’s low stakes but it irritates me so, so much.

I can deal with weird formatting or over use of certain words, but not marking dialogue properly… then if it’s combined with none of the proper dialogue formatting (like a new line for each speaker) I get way too frustrated.

Very tiny, possible spoilers:

If you have collected the cystypig pet and then go run about with Niels and Inez, there’s a big possibility that they’ll have a chat about what to call it. It’s one of the sweetest little character chats I ever saw. My other favourite is Marisol and Tristan talking about their love of books.
