Grammatical ambiguities are fun. Have a number of protests by French students shut down schools? Or is there a single French student protesting schools being shut down?

I literally pulled a video meant for Spookyween last year because I realized *during editing, remotely from fucking Amsterdam* that it was AI, and I'll fucking do it again if I have to. Not now. Not ever. No exceptions.

WOOP WOOP! All 96 hours of our Dragon Quest XI stream series have made it onto the second channel, stay tuned over the next couple weeks as these go live at www.youtube.com/@dpadunpaused

Honestly, I think it was a pretty good one. I'll have to see if I can get it into PAX East, I guess.

So is this just gonna happen for literally every upload now? The earlier two were resolved, but now this is happening (for seemingly no reason?)

Ayyyyy, Mega Man Star Force 3's main game Unpaused video made it up on its first try! Almost 37 hours in one big vid :) Won't be going live for quite a while, but anytime I have a chance to quickly pre-empt my timeline for these, I take it. Also remastered the video for pixel perfect format, too!

Alex is suggesting both his most recent Toby Fox video is his most viewed (it isn't), and that his evidence was so strong that people were just speechless (they aren't—he has meticulously banned any dissenters from his comments section, and has lost 90% of his audience over Toby Fox specifically)

Rick Desolate 🪦 | The D-Pad @ricdesi.dpad.fm · 26/09/2026

@alexyardzone.bsky.social is the stupidest, weirdest motherfucker I have ever encountered in 30 years online.

Rick Desolate 🪦 | The D-Pad @ricdesi.dpad.fm · 26/09/2026

Alex is now saying his video on Freedom Planet, in which he implicitly accuses its composers of copyright infringement, helped elevate it into the spotlight. I think Alex genuinely has delusions of grandeur. I don't even understand how a person can think like this at all.

Rick Desolate 🪦 | The D-Pad @ricdesi.dpad.fm · 26/09/2026

jesus fucking christ, this is so sad For context, @8kudos8 was extremely charitable to Alex Yard after a bit of thought, saying "maybe he just needs friends", and generally trying to approach him with kindness to see if he's okay. Alex responds with 16 minutes of relentless moaning about it.

To add to this, you've posted the songs to Spotify, where they can (ostensibly) generate income from their thousands of monthly listeners and in some cases hundreds of thousands of plays. It's presumably no cash cow, but this feels (and looks) very much like a business venture to me.

I don't much care whether you "give single shit" about me, Bill. But your colleagues and fellow freelance artists see how you respond to the gangrenous AI toxin you're helping spread, and how little you care about ignorantly aiding in it strangling your (and more importantly, their) livelihoods.

Rick Desolate 🪦 | The D-Pad @ricdesi.dpad.fm · 25/09/2026

I get the feeling Bill Mudron will be blocking me shortly for deigning to say it's disappointing for a freelance artist to be propagating slop, but it's doubly disappointing when people like this get snotty and elitist about betraying their artist peers, too.

I'm not a master of optics, but I feel like if you've got artists under your label who have justifiable grievances against you and how you run your business, you should really think twice about what words appear on screen with your real face.

Like, should I guess what's about to happen with this one?

...am I being targeted all of a sudden? What's happening here?

I'm generally unconcerned about random videos getting demonetized (I don't rely on YouTube ad revenue at all), but I have... genuinely no idea what could be wrong with Wednesday's Sonic 06 video that would flag it as unmonetizable.

It's kind of amazing how @alexyardzone.bsky.social is fully incapable of not being xenophobic (or just fully ignorantly condescending) when someone doesn't subscribe to the same sexist gendered color associations he does. The person he's responding to is American, by the by.

Hey guy, what exactly is Osama Bin Laden doing in this thumbnail, for a video where you repeatedly imagine Ash in her underwear and pissing?

Rick Desolate 🪦 | The D-Pad @ricdesi.dpad.fm · 22/09/2026

I don't think @alexyardzone.bsky.social realizes just how much this frame in his video—as he cheers on JK Rowling for "accomplish[ing] her goals"—is likely to completely collapse his channel. Naked support for a billionaire using her vast wealth to erase trans people from existence.

Rick Desolate 🪦 | The D-Pad @ricdesi.dpad.fm · 22/09/2026

The 51-hour video is actually the bulk of the way through processing this time instead of failing after an hour or two like usual (like the one below it), this is generally a good sign for overlong video uploads 👍

My favorite failed gotchas are the ones where you just repeat what I said but you pretend you said it first.

Along side the assumption I'm some random with no subject matter knowledge or experience? There's this too:

I will not rest until this D-Pad Unpaused video makes it live, been trying for a week now but we'll keep trying!

He's evidently been extremely reluctant to discuss this, but he's been producing slop music aimed at children under the guise of a fake band called "Snuggle Bunch", complete with slop cover art and everything. It's so fucking disappointing.

I think DJ Cutman has decided to abandon ship with this topic on Bluesky, as this does not appear to have been posted here. I... wasn't *trying* to end up with a frame that makes him look like a cartoon villain, but it's the only chunk that shows the new date and the word "extension" highlighted.

lol, I registered before the email went out

I still had it up in a tab from earlier, I cannot even imagine being in a position where you're nuking half your comments section like this and thinking you're some mega-genius.

Rick Desolate 🪦 | The D-Pad @ricdesi.dpad.fm · 17/09/2026

lol, @alexyardzone.bsky.social has deleted at least a dozen of these comments, he absolutely cannot handle that no one cares about his bizarre pedantry about the word "episode" or the lack of a visible "Metroid 6" text box (so far). Also, Alex: serials absolutely have episodes, dummy.
