Pride Month Update
🕑 Added 2023-06-21 11:22:11 +0000 UTCHey! Happy Pride Month! Just wanted to give you a quick update on how things are going.
The next video, currently titled "Plagiarism Video I Don't Have A Title For Yet," is coming along really well. I started researching and making notes for it in December last year, but made it the main focus when certain events transpired lately.
My original goal was to get it out during pride month. However, you're not gonna believe this, but I accidentally stumbled upon an even more interesting story while researching the others. Adding it meant taking more time to look into the new stuff and re-organize, including removing a whole 20-ish minute section for pacing purposes (one I tracked down a 20 year old magazine to research, too!). This means it's unlikely I'll have a finished video before Pride Month is over, which sucks because I wrote a joke about it being Pride Month. I'll probably leave it in, as a mark of shame, lol
However, this video, much like a previous one, has a really good logical stopping point near the middle (about an hour in). So once I get the first half looking good, I'll put it up for you guys. Once the video is done I'll finish the 20 minutes I cut out and put it up for patrons as well. (I seriously really want to get some use out of that magazine oh my god)
Hope everything's going ok,
- Harry

lol, ive been checking patreon several times a day since you said that the preview will be up soon on the YouTube community tab. im so excited, your videos are always so valuable and i love that your writing continues to evolve.
Kiki
keep the joke in because its funny, not as a mark of shame. there are good reasons its taking longer, youre being thorough and diligent, that takes time. absolutely nothing to feel ashamed over or get shamed for. we actually appreciate you specifically for that
Dan Silkstone
i think he said it would be the next videogame video, not next video. In that case, twenty years give or take
Dan Silkstone
donkeys, too

Any info on the Deus ex director's cut video? You mentioned it would be the next one but I imagine the plagiarism topic came out of left field lol (also will there be a part 2 for tallarico where are they now? I'm so curious)
TechPriest
Hope you’re well, and do ponies exist, just not horses?
Ryan Schlecht
I see what you did there lol
Fabian Seikin
I am really excited

There is sufficient anxiety in my own mind that it would be best to take all the time you need to create another brilliant video!
Hbomb
never again

This video wouldn't quite work as two standalone videos and people typically don't click on a part 2, so it ends up a bit worse off than having a complete video that's on the longer side. It's annoying how this stuff works, but YouTube frequently recommends videos out of order and people don't like to go out of their way to seek out the part 1 if they're not already fans. (Compare the views for a part 2 vs a part 1 for a random video and it's often almost cut in half with part 2!) It's also just nice to have a clean narrative arc and pacing for a single video as best as it can be.

don't worry you can just pull a christmas video and wait until the next year to post it

Happy Pride, Harry! And listen, your videos are perennial favs for me, and I look forward to getting sucked into madness by you every time. I am probably singlehandedly responsible for half of the plays on the Ruweebee video, and I have never even seen the show.
Matthew Baltzell
I would much rather have a cool well researched video that takes longer! I will be excited whenever it comes out!
theparocine
take all the time you need dude we ain't going anywhere!!
Illia Shepard
i literally sleep to your pathologic video, make them longer
Micah Z West
Love you buddy. Take all the time you need <3 happy to support you in whatever you chose to do with your time.

>"stopping point near the middle" >almost an hour in never change.
Kel McDonald
I'm very excited to watch it when we get it!

<3 you Harry. Take all the time you need.

Thanks much for the etymology lesson. And yes, you’re right we shouldn’t hold our breath. LoL!
Andrew L Butula
It's from "abated breath," as in you're holding your breath. Which, much love to hbomb, is a bad idea in this case.

Happy Pride Month, Harry! Hope yours is going well (and if not, um, happy upcoming Queer Wrath Month, I guess?)
Jackson Bockus
Just don’t steal anyone’s “editing style”
Ella Waldeck
Happy Pride y'all!!
Jedasis
Sweet! Looking foward to it Harry!
Marc-Olivier Goyette
It's alright, pride "month" is from June to October in Canada because no province can agree on a definitive time to celebrate, so you've still got plenty of time and it *technically* counts! Which is the best kind!

Harry is going to accidentally cancel tony shalhoub while explaining why uber is bad.
Alexander Powers
Happy Pride Harry! Here in Alabama, Pride isn't until October (June is TOO HOT) so technically by some standards you've got until Halloween!
Roger Gawne
Happy pride!!

Looking forward to this! You might want to consider reaching out to YouTuber Sideways if you need more stories of how plagiarism affects creators, he's been taking an extended break from YouTube due to having so many people plagiarizing his work

Waiting with baited breath…whatever the fuck that means

You can keep the joke. Just release the video next pride month :P
Craig Duran
Idk about anyone else, but the hours long rabbit holes are what I come for lmao
Chris F.S.
Just shows I'm still a little innocent because I was thinking about how a few videos about Myst started appearing suspiciously close to the Myst Is Still Good video's Patreon release, but of course it's going to be about AI.

cant wait to go on this roller coaster! Happy pride

You should just steal a title in the true spirit of plagiarism ;)

Sounds fun! Happy pride month!💙
Ant Gilbert
Great news. We’re all looking forward to it. Will you be making any more video game related videos? I’ve always enjoyed watching your content about games I have no interest in playing 🤣.
Steven Thomas
We hope everything's going ok with you too HBomb PS - please do another election watch video :)

Can't complain. Hope you're well.

If there is a logical stopping point, is there an obvious downside I don't see to splitting the video in two and releasing the video to non-patrons as a two parter? I would assume that people would respond better to hour long videos released at slightly increased frequency, compared to two hour long videos with months and months between them.

Happy Pride 🏳️🌈 (I'd love to put a bi flag here but I don't think we have it as an emoji 😭). I can't wait to see the new video, yet as always I'm happy you're taking the time to make it as good as possible. Take care of yourself, have a nice day, a nice pride month and a nice rest of the year as well while we're at it !
Mr Shiteside
In the rest of Ireland it's also spread out, here in Cork our main events are August

Happy Pride! 🌈 Looking forward to all the wackiness this (apparently) very much needed refresher on plagiarism and lesson on not abusing the legal system to silence your critics brings. Oh the places this freeze peach can go…very excited!
Sophie
Happy Pride everyone!
Egg Tats
nova scotia doesn't do pride until July too! I'm not entirely sure why, but my gut says it's because of the weather not really turning until late June around here
Zig Justice
Happy Pride Month, and I'm excited to see what you've been working on!
Kae Hanrott
Happy pride, harry!
Will E.
excited to see whose legacy is on the chopping block this time!
Colin Fogt
happy pride month!!!!!
Alex Pleshy
Well, you already have my money, so why not put some extra effort into it :D
Fabian Seikin
Thanks Harry, some positivity today is really appreciated! And nice of you to emphasize pride month, it is a nice distraction from that whole „Stolzmonat“ thing some right wing nuts try to pull of in Germany.

Happy Pride month Harry! On the topic of you tube plagiarism something happened to me a few months ago where a video of mine got popular and someone may a direct copy of it using a text to speech AI. You may have already heard of similar things happening but if you are interested I made a video taking about my experience of it based upon a video you made a few years ago https://youtu.be/aqtdmVm9e7k

Happy Pride Harry! Can't wait to see the next vid. :)

I was thinking to myself about how happy I am to have blocked twitter to not know what discourse you were referring to here before I remembered the Ai bullshit. Still happy I blocked twitter though. Happy to hear from you, hope you're having fun. Okay Bi!
Sascha Erni
Happy Pride from Switzerland, too. Hope you're having a good one. And don't worry too much about timing; the LGBT thing I worked on for months only by accident got published today. It was actually scheduled for February. So, eh. Have a goon one!
Hands Bricks
Yep! We don't have our pride events until the last week of July!
carsausage
It just wouldn't be an Hbomberguy video without you falling into a rabbit hole from hell. Happy pride!
Juno
Wait it is?
With Quiet Eyes
Happy Pride! And also i know it would be a spoiler but I very badly hope the illuminaughti thing is an element of this somewhere (probably just as a joke but still)
Wolfgang Bailey
Thanks for the update. I hope the deep sea submersible you're commissioning works properly and isn't made on the cheap. We love HBomb
Juno
Happy pride Harry! Things are going alright I've found a new fandom to call home, came to senses with identity and now I've got new hbomb to look forward to can't wait to have another video to fill the brain cracks with

Love you Harry! Happy Pride month people.

happy pride month! and take care harry, don't overwork yourself!
Triscaleon
When you do these cut out sections as exclusives (thank you so much for that btw) is it possible to do a version of the main video with the cut kinda… put roughly where they were supposed to go? An H Bomb directors cut of sorts?
Hands Bricks
It's OK Harry, in Northern Ireland (so still the UK) our pride isn't until July, so July is pride month too! It totally counts!
Sam Demmen-Sewell
Thanks Harry! Looking forward to watching it!
Maria Elena Berrino
So good to hear from you!
Aurora H.
Happy pride! So excited!!

Happy Pride, Harry!

I'm sensing another Tallerico type video, very exciting
