Quick Update on the Alphabet & Challenge Schedule
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the alphabet and challenge schedule since things are a little weird at the moment. (Note: Thereās a schedule in this post, so please check it!)
As Iāve previously mentioned, someone at work was fired, bringing our team down from the minimum of 8 staff to just 7. While a replacement was hired briefly, this resulted in my shifts swapping (essentially putting me āon the other teamā). I still work 4 nights on, 4 offāmy shifts just flipped.
The issue is that the new hire was also fired (failed his drug testādonāt do drugs, kids). This now means the team I was originally on has only one person for night shifts, while we need a minimum of two. Until they hire someone new, Iāll be picking up a lot of overtime. Instead of my usual 4-day work schedule, I could be working anywhere from 4 to 12 days straight (hopefully, they hire someone soon, but management is slow to act).
And thatās not even factoring in my real-life responsibilities, but thatās a whole different story.
Because of this, while I aim to stick to the goal of two videos per week, please understand that some weeks I might not be able to. Ideally, I just need 2-3 days free to batch-produce content and build a backlog. But right now, that doesnāt seem possible until next week (around Feb 15th/16th).
Upcoming Upload & Work Schedule
Friday 7th ā 1 video recorded & uploaded (dual release to Ko-fi & YouTube)
Monday 10th ā 3-4 videos recorded & uploaded to Ko-fi/YouTube members (unless Iām stuck doing overtime)
Tuesday 11th ā Alphabet public release (if I can record on the 10th)
Friday 14th ā Alphabet public release (if I can record on the 10th)
Saturday/Sunday 15th/16th ā Alphabet recording spree (uploaded same day to Ko-fi/YouTube members)
Tuesday 18th ā Public release
Friday 21st ā Challenge video public release (Ko-fi/Members will ideally get access on Monday 10th)
At this point, Iām hoping my work schedule will be back to normal so things can resume as usual. However, I canāt make any promises. While this is the plan, I canāt guarantee that everything will go exactly as scheduled.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Hey all! Wanted to wish everybody a Happy New Year! I hope you had an awesome 2024 while also wishing you the very best for 2025! Itās been a crazy year for me personallyāstarting a full-time job, beginning the process of buying Nana Primalās house (a long-time goal of the channelāpraise RNGesus for the Right-to-Buy discount), all while somewhat managing to keep going on YouTube.
So, I wanted to talk a little about my goals for 2025. As you all know, transparency is a huge deal for me, and Iām, of course, going to continue this trend in 2025!
So, letās talk goals, shall we?
Goal 1 ā 200K Subscribers on YouTube
With us currently at 135K, this is going to be tough. I failed my goal of ending 2024 with 150K, but with starting this full-time job, it took me a while to properly adjust to content schedules. With the content I have planned for you all in 2025, I think we can do it! (So remember to spam-share all my videos!)
Goal 2 ā Average Stream Concurrent of 500 People
Itās no secret Iāve not been able to invest much time into streams this year since starting my current job. Come 2025, though, thatās all going to change! Weāll be streaming across multiple platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Twitter (with more to come in the future). I absolutely feel this is achievable, especially given how much fun everybody has in streams while hanging out!
Goal 3 ā 1,000 Supporters on Ko-fi/YouTube Memberships
This one is a big part of Goal 4 as well. With the lowest-cost tier being just $1 a month, I think itās right to aim high given the benefits of signing up and how everybody is loving the early access. Weāre at about 100 supporters now, so weāre already 10% of the way there!
As an added benefit, if we can increase to this kind of support, I can stop relying so much on YouTube ad revenue. This means I donāt need to worry if a game is copyrighted or not, so we could dive into tons of new content for games like FF13, which are currently financial disasters on YouTube.
Goal 4 ā Getting an Office Space and Hiring a Full-Time Local Editor
I had originally really wanted to do this at the start of the year. It would essentially take up all my content creation funds and the last of my personal funds after bills, but it would have been barely manageable to do. Now, though, with the mortgage going through, itās currently off the cards until we can increase the monthly funds a bit.
Once we eventually get there though? LOOOOOOOTS more shorts coming, vlogs, weekly challenge series (editing is the biggest block to the schedule after all), and everything will be much better editing-wise. Of course, a good edit can lead to a much better video in terms of enjoyment!
Weād also have the space to create an awesome little filming setup/stream area, allowing us to go a little crazy with some things I just canāt do right now due to lack of space.
Goal 5 ā Finish Complete Playthroughs of FF5 and FF6
Also, check out so many new games like Metaphor, Dragon Quest, the Mana series, the Saga series, and more! 2025 is looking to be a stacked year for games, after all!
Goal 6 ā Sleep!
Lots to do, so this may or may not happen as much as Iād likeābut hey, itās on the cards, haha.
And there we goāmy goals for 2025. Will I achieve them all? You bet! Iām going to work my butt off to make this one of the best channels for all you lovely people. You helped me get to where I am, and Iām thankful for all your current and future support. I promise, while youāre all still here watching, Iāll keep creating all the content you love across all my different channels and platforms.

š Greetings, Warriors of Light! š
From me, my amazing mod team (who somehow keep this chaos in check), and my familyāMerry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that festive jazz! š
š
I hope your Christmas is filled with more joy than a crit hit from Cloudās Buster Sword, more sparkle than Shivaās Diamond Dust, and none of the frustration of getting wiped in a raid because someone ignored the mechanics (looking at you, Chad). š
2024 has been a journey worthy of its own Final Fantasy storylineāfull of highs, lows, and plenty of grinding. But just like a perfectly executed Limit Break, we made it through, and thatās all thanks to you, my legendary Primal pack. Whether youāve been spamming in the chat, lurking in the streams, or memeing in the Discord, youāre the real MVPs.
As we head into 2025, letās summon our best selves, party up for new adventures, and maybe get our hands on some Ultima-tier loot. Just remember, lifeās an open-world gameāexplore it, fight the side quests worth doing, and donāt forget to take breaks at the inn.
From our hearts to yours: Have a Merry Christmas, a legendary New Year, and may your RNG always be in your favor. š§āāļøāØ
Stay wild, stay primal!
Primal, the Mod Team, and Family š¦ā¤ļø
