Super Deranged Q&A For Super Cool People

[@RubixRaptor]

What a year! Thanks a ton guys for being chill about no big end of the year video. Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed just relaxing and playing video games with friends and visiting family instead of working on that lol. Super pumped for the coming year, lots of stuff I want to make. (Maybe more video essays here and there as well)

Of course you're a damn fed, also, upload some fantasy rougelikes! I'm sure a lot of us would love to see that, I know I would. Love the videos man, you've been one of my favorite channels for several years now (I've been watching since the early days of HAARP, and you introduced me to Saint Motel lol) I'm genuinely happy to see your channel growing so much because you definitely deserve it. Keep up the good work, and I hope 2025 goes well for you!

They are one of the highest security clearances and in charge of Counter-Intelligence and National Security. JAY, I KNOW YOU CAN'T SAY BUT HOW THE ACTUAL HECK. Bro wasn't just a Fed. He was THE FED.

[@Draenen]

Mentioning the feeling of seeing your own merch or brand things selling and people sending photos, I want to reiterate to the audience that it is truly an out of this world feeling. Every time. I launched a merch store for my website and seeing people happily share photos of them wearing shirts with my cat on it is CRAZY. It's truly moving. Even though you're supplying content to people and can see comments and the numbers, there's truly no indication of the impact that creators have that hits like someone actually actively proudly showing off something like that. So when he says thank you, know it comes from the heart

[@TheMrEMan]

YOOOO thanks for showing my picture of the cup between my unit berets (3:35). You guys have a chaotic energy that I haven’t experienced in a long time on KZbin and it been a great distraction from the day to day.

[@Paveway-chan]

3:35 I know exactly what that emotion is like, when someone (entirely unprompted!) produces *great* fanart or something analogous to it of something you've made. It's a very special feeling!

[@asinineintentions7773]

Yeah it hits kinda different as a creator when something you create inspires someone else to create something, or even just to see the cold hard evidence that people out there enjoy and are impacted by your work and the things you create.

[@britfox9571]

I love the Leagues of Votann aesthetic too. If I hadn't already started collecting T'au I would've considered them.

[@stormtroopercaptain1405]

[@Psyc0Fox]

Not positive when or how I stumbled across your content, but since then I've been binge watching your stuff constantly. Anytime I just need a thing to watch 80% of the time i end up rewatching your stuff because its just that good. Can't wait to see what you have for next year.

[@WolfysEyes]

Bruh that hot choccy was delicious. Thanks for an entertaining and unhinged year of video goofassery. I'm still within that slim Venn diagram intersection of FFXIV enjoyer and person who likes to watch people play milsims "badly" so thanks a ton for what you're able to upload. If I can ask a question: Are there any games that are coming up that you're excited to play, either for content creation's sake or just for fun? I appreciate that's a pretty broad question but I admit to some curiosity on what the next year may bring to your channel. Thanks again, happy holidays, and a wonderul New Year to you and the Ignis crew!

[@dasheroo1229]

Damn this makes alot of sense in retrospect, although its still quite a shock that you worked for the SCP foundation. you always seemed like you got hit in the head by one too many memetic hazards to be called normal.

[@benjaminott915]

I love your content! Found you back in 2022 and have loved every moment since. I am intrigued as to how one goes from top secret clearance at DoD to pretty big youtuber, but that is pretty cool. If you ever do an irl meet and greet, that would probably be like everyone's first question.

[@aphex1500]

I just want to say, +1 for that unpublished vr dungeon crawler video. That sounds like it'd be so much fun to watch and considering your videos already always have some kind of story, wouldn't be thaaat different

Here's to 2025, RubixRaptor! And here's to all of your future prospects. This is coming from someone that holds a TS/SCI clearance. Oh, and thank you for answering my question at 4:15. I wasn't expecting that experience from your dentist, but it was amusing lol Keep up the amazing work!

Oh that VR dungeoncrawler would be the sorta video I'd love to watch. I absolutely loved the Township Tales video from 3ish years ago. Somethin about it was just magnificent, and between that, the TTT and Hidden VR videos, and some VR vods from Tomato really got my interest with VR, which I've recently started to dabble with with a headset of my own! :D As always though, thanks for the fantastic content!

I don't know how to explain this while making sense but somehow the sheer insanity of your ops made its way into my dreams. The exact last thing I saw before I woke up was like an Arma3 clip that started with an ingame popup saying "Rubixraptor was arrested" Then nearby started dancing while singing "Rubixraptor just got arrested, got arrested, got arrested. Rubixraptor just got arrested for something stupid" to the tune of this is the way we wash our face or whatever that song is called. And I honestly don't know how to feel. I might have ignis brainrot or smth idk

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

A roguelike for you that's rather obscure but really good; Neon Abyss. Basically, the greek gods and some titans have survived to the modern age, where new gods have been born around modern culture. Hades hires you, one of a selection of mercenaries, to go kill those gods' avatars with techno guns in a cyberpunk neon 2d dungeon platformer. You know you have a good build when you CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN whenever you hold down the trigger. It's really, addictively fun and SO underrated and underappreciated, I think you'd love it. You get to kill the god of guns, idols, the mcfamily, makeup, machines, the dark web, and also some greek ones, it's great.

[@roscuro9838]

On the hamburger bit, I went out to the middle of nowhere to visit a central park while on vacation with no planning, as I'd never really gone on a vacation myself before. Found out the park was closed because an elementary school was staying there...damn kids. Anyway, so I went back to the nearest (only) town. Old fashioned texas town, decided to have lunch at a pizza place on the square, right next to the court house. Got a cheese burger and chocolate milkshake. Easily the best of either I've ever had. I don't even remember what they taste like at this point, but I'm pretty sure the place closed down during the pandemic as it's not on google maps anymore. Luckily I can still go to Denny's for a good american diner double. Always hits the spot.
