Radiumist

Hello everyone and welcome to another round of Radiumist Patch Notes!

I know it hasn't been too long since my last update or video in general, but I feel like enough semi-important stuff has happened since the last update video to mention.

===Real Life Stuff===
Only a couple of days after the last update video, my mom got diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, and I was the first to know. Thankfully it's the most common kind, so it's the most easily treatable. Interestingly, my psychiatrist was pushing me to make her get treatment on the same day she went to the doctor. She's not really overencumbered by the cancer or this information and doesn't care who knows it. Ironic that I was the one who went to oncology back in May.

As for me, since my house is now 1 person lighter, I was pushed out of the house more. I have done some volunteering at a couple different places, and I even got hired! The job is seasonal and is going to be retail during the holidays. Joy of joys. My mom has also been going on a political crusade for a fence not being maintained and she has been spending her time since May worrying about it. I've been helping her pass out flyers for the upcoming election. I have also spent time getting used to my anti-depressant and I do feel better and have a better opinion of myself.

In my off time, I've been focusing on gaming, and I eventually reached 1,210,000 GS, and I even cracked the top 4,000 on the TA leaderboards! Specifically, 3,891 / 1,270,256 gamers. I've been trying really hard to get rid of my backlog, especially of these trash/easy games (<2.0 TA Ratio).

===Why is there nothing coming out?===
For the last, maybe 2 years now(?), my sleep schedule has changed a lot, including waking up really early in the morning 🤢 Partly this is because my parents were wanting me to “Be awake like a normal person.” Because of this, I haven't been able to stay up late like I used to. I used to stay up every day until 4 or 5 am, and now, I can barely even stay awake till midnight. A lot of my time, effort and energy making videos used to come from those late-night hours. Since my last job in March, I have tried to bring myself to do ANYTHING, but it does fizzle out for one reason or another. It really is a brutal cycle where the excuse just changes from “I don't have a job” to “I have a job.” I have never ever ever considered YouTube to be a job and making it one would still need a large amount of effort to grow. Again, at my previous job that I got fired from in March, I was making $20 an hour, which was about $600 a week and the biggest YouTube payment was about $350, and YouTube pays monthly.

I do think I am far along enough in my YouTube career to say I have been hitting burnout. Obviously, when I started uploading stuff back in 2022, I was in a different place in my life. And I am not saying I should be a professional video maker, or should have hit it mainstream, or rake in millions of views by now, or whatever. But I still feel like a beginner, especially when it comes to video editing. But the biggest hurdle as of late has been recording. I have had multiple days where I've taken caffeine supplements, with the intention to record / edit and then using it to do nothing. Even after getting used to my anti-depressant, my drive to make videos remains high but nothing ever gets produced, even if it is a shitposty 2 minute dub with the most minimal editing. In a way, I feel like I've laid down and died a bit. However, there seriously isn't a day I don't think about making videos or practicing voice over for a specific topic. A lot of my viewership on this channel has dried up, especially over the last couple videos released being only 100 something views. For a 9.3k sub channel, that is kind of terrifying.

Especially the case when referring to…

===The Quieting of The Loud House===
I hope I'm very obvious and crystal clear with this.
Please do NOT ask about or subscribe for more Loud House videos.

Because The Loud House Cringefest 2024 was taken down, all Loud House projects, including previously promised ones, have been indefinitely canceled. I recently edited The Loud House Videos playlist to reflect that. I also don't really have an intention of rereleasing the video that was taken down (and I'm also surprised the Lewdest House video didn't get affected at all, with me manually putting the age restriction on it). People have been requesting I reshare it somewhere like Google Drive or Patreon or whatever, but I don't want to open a new account for this one video. This video has caused much trouble for me, as I still can't live stream on this channel because of it, and with it being taken down, it feels cathartic/freeing in a way.

===Radiumist===
Well, if TLH is a dead topic, what now? Despite it being the most generic YouTuber thing ever, this channel will probably go back to talking about video games and reacting to random people on the internet.

-I recently completed Minecraft Dungeons 2, so expect a Clip Compilation and a TC-V episode for it soon (after I'm done writing this, I'll begin work).
-The Halloween special should continue as planned.
-You may or may not have realized that I decided to change the voice acting playlist to “ℝ𝔸𝔻𝕀𝕌𝕄𝕀ℤ𝔼𝔻” This is for a couple different reasons, mainly stylized like that to set it apart from my other video series and so I can seamlessly at it to the video title.
-I have been trying to think and soul search about many different lists involving my gaming tastes. I kind of expect them to be long videos, because I never shut up, but I do think the topics are interesting.
-I've also been hyping myself up to play deltarune again, and it’s kinda worked.
-As for reaction videos, I have mentioned I have over 40 something videos I want to react to, and I have been interested in one lolcow in particular.

===Radiumancer===
Radiumancer will probably continue to not have super important things on it for a decent bit. I still can't upload / cross promote on Steam, that authorization issue is still happening and Steam support is useless. Regardless, I do want to do a couple Things & Stuff videos on the main channel about the playthroughs, as a director’s commentary about what I was thinking and to reminisce. The Cat Quest 2 OP Enemies playthrough should continue at some point, now that LEGO Harry is done. As for new playthroughs, I'm still interested in doing the commentated Emerald Cross Nuzlocke.

===The End===
Hopefully, things continue to improve and videos do make their way out. I want to make stuff, but sometimes you have to focus on the more important things first. Thank you for reading this wall of text until the very end!

Yes, I heard the news.
No, I don't think TLH is dead for real this time.
This is the second time this has happened this year.

Hello everyone! First things first, I do have a video in the works and it is close to being complete. I have a couple different ideas for I want to do, and I hope I can push a lot of videos out this and next month before I start work on the huge Christmas video.

More on topic, after an overwhelming 87% of you voted to keep the Ko-fi up, I’ve decided to leave it running. I’ve also added some new "donation" methods. I have publicized and added my XBOX and Steam Wishlists on my Linktree; linktr.ee/Radiumist (Lets be real here, this is cutting out the middle man lol)

Once again, I don't want to push any of those links as a necessity to support me. Watching my videos is enough, these are here if you'd like to go further, and I will try and shout out anyone who wants to support me. It's the least I can do.

===Quick Note===
Gifting a game off either wishlist or sending me whatever doesn't guarantee a video will be made on it. I do WAY more gaming on XBOX than Steam. With that being said, also feel free to send whatever you'd like on either platform!

Also, quick bombshell, as a 2027 resolution, I want to do a Ko-fi goal for a livestream/video.

Thank you for reading this wall of text until the very end!

So, it has been too long since my last video. I have recently been struggling with strong subconscious unproductivity barriers, and this sore spot is not helping.

When I originally set up the Ko-fi tip jar, the goal was simply to have an alternative option available for anyone who wanted to support me beyond YT ad revenue. Since the Discord was taken down, I don't know if people knew the Ko-fi was still up. Admittedly, I don't bring it up, and I feels like a beacon showcasing my failure to produce since its launch.

Rather than letting an empty jar sit on my Linktree, I'm thinking about closing it down. I always strive for being someone who loves making videos for more than just profit. Before I close the Ko-fi, I wanted to check in with you all to see if it's worth keeping around or if even you knew it still existed.

Let me know in the poll below

Hello and welcome to the Radiumist Patch Notes! I previously attempted to record a video, but I realized I have a great deal to discuss and believe that text is the most effective medium for this update. This update is long as hell, so get your reading glasses ready.

(To be clear, any mentions of my struggles are intended to provide context and explanation, not to garner sympathy.)

===9,000 Sub Special Thank You===
Thank you all for enjoying the 9,000-subscriber special! I hope you noticed that I was experimenting with new editing techniques in that video, though I still feel my skills are below average compared to many other YouTubers. Additionally, looking back, I realize I may have come across as a bit harsh toward Raney; I want to clarify that I have nothing against him or his content. Interestingly, my video has actually surpassed his original in views which is notable, even considering that I have a larger channel.

===Unlistings===
I have recently reviewed the remaining public videos on Radiumist and decided to remove approximately 50 of them from public view.

These videos have not been deleted; they are simply unlisted. You can still watch them via the “ALL of Radiumist” playlist or the Death%/Gaming Grab Bag playlists on Radiumancer. These were some of the more popular gaming clips and Death% videos that were still active. The only one I’ve kept public is “Why fight 5 Craigs when you could fight 1?” because it remains one of my personal favorites and most popular uploads. Unlisting certain videos, such as “Arzette Slaughters All” or “Clicker Heroes - Death%,” was a difficult decision. I wish there were an easier way to transfer video ownership to Radiumancer rather than having to delete and re-upload everything. On the other hand, many videos were very easy to unlist, such as “quicksand” or the PvZ2 Endless Zone livestreams.

The goal of this cleanup is to focus the channel more on my edited projects, such as Things & Stuff, Impressionary, Clip Comps, and voice-over work. Clip Compilations are the only “Classic Radiumist” content I will continue to host here instead of moving them to Radiumancer, if and when I actually make them lol.

===What Happened to Totally Complete-Views/Weekly Wednesday Videos?===
Last week, my focus was on releasing the 9k special. This week has been exceptionally busy because I’ve been interviewing with two companies through multiple rounds. Unfortunately, I remain unemployed despite submitting 600–700 applications since April. While simple dubs or TCV episodes only require voice recording and minimal editing, voice work itself has become a significant hurdle. TCV is designed as an audio-first podcast with a release for Spotify and Apple Podcasts in the long term, but I have struggled to stay productive. I’ve had several days where I prepared with caffeine to get to work, only to end the day with nothing completed.

I was angry at myself for not finishing the 9k special when I promised the weekly Wednesday videos, and I was purposefully trying to apply pressure to make something. I essentially did nothing in July. Despite that lack of activity, it was my most profitable month of the year financially. This is a major concern for me, particularly since TCV was promised last October and I still haven’t produced the first episode. I feel like I am unintentionally leading people on, which is something I want to avoid.

=== ‪@Radiumancer‬ ===
The idea / intent for Radiumancer was to host “Classic Radiumist” content, including playthroughs, Death%, and Beat Hazard videos (and sometimes gaming clips). To some extent, this has happened, but I’ve realized that the secondary channel has unintentionally become my primary focus this year. In 2026, excluding update videos and shorts, I’ve only released 13 videos on Radiumist compared to 66 on Radiumancer. Of course, editing the 9k special was far more time-consuming than uploading a 20 minute unedited CHIMPS run. Balancing YouTube with a 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. job and driving my younger brother to college made the simpler uploads on the secondary channel much more appealing.

Since leaving my job in April and starting the LEGO Harry Potter on Ice series, I’ve realized I can still produce content, as evidenced by the TLH CringeFest earlier this year. Moving forward, once the LEGO Harry Potter on Ice series is finished, I intend to shift my focus back to this main channel and will likely stop uploading to Radiumancer for the remainder of the year.

That being said, my name is Harvey Dent, so let me be Two-Face here.

I’ve been surprised by the lack of interest in the Cat Quest II Overpowered Enemies run. While the LEGO Harry Potter series is a pretty standard playthrough with such a minor inconvenience at best (Compared to when I did the same challenge with LEGO Indiana Jones) that gets 100s or even over 1,000 views per video, the Cat Quest II OP Enemies challenge run barely reaches 50 views per video. Once LEGO Harry concludes, I will finish the CQII playthrough. Looking ahead to new playthroughs, I’m interested in a LEGO Batman 1 on Ice series. But since I don't want to deal with copyright issues after LEGO Harry, I’m also considering a Pokémon Emerald Nuzlocke with commentary and a hard-mode playthrough of Forager.

I plan to move the Death% videos and re-upload/re-publicize them to Radiumancer as a kinda weekly series, alongside new content once the backlog is complete. I may also re-record some of them to improve upon previous attempts. Re-uploading Beat Hazard videos will be simpler since there are only 15 compared to the over 100 Death% videos. Also, I’ve been feeling nostalgic for the PvZ2 Endless Zone videos and want to upload more of those. That being said, I am pleased to see about 10% of my subs also are subscribed to Radiumancer. Even with the changes to new channel monetization, all I really need to hit on Radiumancer is the 1,000 subscriber goal

===The Future of Loud House Videos===
This community post marks the beginning of the end for Loud House content on my channel. As I’ve mentioned, the annual Loud House CringeFests are coming to a close as I shift my focus back to gaming and reaction commentary. CringeFests themselves aren’t disappearing, but I need to diversify the topics they cover. Future subscriber specials will not be centered on The Loud House.

I have a "Final 5" list of topics involving TLH that I still want to cover, and the Master Raney video was one of them.

Two of these projects were already promised: the dub/reading of Rewrite the Stars Part 6 and It’s (Not) Your Fault Part 2. Once these are publicly available, I will host a celebratory livestream on Radiumancer (since I still cannot stream on this channel). I likely won't be continuing with RtS Part 7 or I(N)YF Part 3.

===Future Special Projects (Even if it is too early to fully announce)===
I want to discuss some upcoming projects, though I won't fully spoil the details just yet.

*Halloween Special*
This will be unlike anything I’ve done before—no Creepypastas, no FNaF, and certainly no Lewdest House sequel (which remains one of my biggest regrets). It will likely be a smaller-scale video, especially compared to the planned Christmas special.

*10k Sub Special*
Will probably not reach this before the Christmas special, but who knows when I'll actually hit it? I may hit another spike in viewership like back in March lol. Anyways, it is NOT LOUD HOUSE RELATED! Originally the 5k special before that ran into the 10 year anniversary of BoyEatsFood14. Well, kinda. The original goal was 1 million subs, but hell if I ever reach that, so I lowered it to 100k and then 10k, ultimately landing on 5k, and now it’s the 10k again. Yeah. Annoyingly complicated, what a surprise. This is a seemingly simple “everyone has done this” premise but one I think this would be adequate to celebrate a 5 digit sub number.

*Thanksgiving Special!!! :D*
As in previous years, I won't be making a specific special for Thanksgiving. Whenever I try to plan one, it seems to fall through—not because of family time, but due to work or the job search. However, there is another date to note...

*December 3rd, 2021*
On this day, I uploaded my first video made with DaVinci Resolve—a simple mashup of two “Attack of the Killer Queen with Lyrics” videos. It remains one of my most popular uploads at over 22.5k views and will turn five this year. I’d like to do something to celebrate, but if I can’t make it happen, that’s okay. I never intended to be a Deltarune mashup channel, but much like The Loud House content, it’s a direction I could have taken.

*Christmas Special*
The Unpopular Opinions video is the longest edited video I have ever uploaded, at 1 hour and 20 minutes long. This Christmas special, I expect, to easily be over 2 hours long. If you followed the deleted Discord back in February, you could probably guess what the topic is (This is one of the 4 remaining videos). Because of this, I do anticipate not uploading much, if not anything, over November or December.

*2026 Clip Comp for New Years*
On New Year’s Day, I will release the “Games I Played in 2026” Clip Comp, which I want to make an annual tradition. While the games I played this year might be considered a bit "trashy," I’m confident in the footage I’ve saved.

*Valentines Day*
Idk

*April Fools*
My April Fools videos aren't the traditional pranks, but the topic will mark five years of content creation for Radiumist.

===The End===
If you’ve read this far, you are truly a dedicated supporter, and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to go through this entire update. Thank you so much for reading this wall of text until the very end!

Thanks for scaring me YouTube! 🫠👍

Video was up for 3 years, but when I updated it to unlisted, of course they'd look at it again. At least the video wasn't completely removed off the platform, I guess
