YouTube: Nomo Elasmo
My online alias is Nomo Elasmo. I'm a Catholic man interested in applying the philosophies I study in the real world to the hobbies I interact with. Primarily, these would be video games and music. My politics precede from my Catholicism, so do with that information what you will. I know I'm not part of any particularly favored demographic, but who cares? The internet is a place for all, even a chump like me. I hope I can provide excellent quality to all who visit my site. I've never made a website before, so this is pretty new territory. But I think it'll be a helpful journey for me.
I want this website to be a few things.
Firstly, I want to be able to use this as a place for people to purchase the DVDs & Blu-Rays of the productions I upload to sites like YouTube. For the modest price I intend to share them at, people will also get access to all the cool bonus features and sneak peeks like you would on a regular movie's DVD or Blu-Ray features. These are features that pretty much everyone tends to paywall with a monthly fee through sites like Patreon, but I would rather people just pay a one-time fee for physical access to the video and its additional content. I might even sell the soundtracks of the videos on CDs, as I intend to write as much original music for the videos as possible. And hey, great bonus: no ads whenever you come back to the video, because it's right there physically!
Secondly, I want this place to contain a discussion board -- like a forum of sorts -- where people can amicably and rationally discuss the subject matters of my videos and even suggest new topics to discuss. I want to start with video games, since that's what I know best, but I'd love to migrate to movies, TV shows, music, and even physical objects like a run of particular hardware from a company.
Obviously, at the time of writing, I don't even have my first video completed yet, as I am working very hard to get a few other projects on other channels out of the way before I dedicate my focus to this endeavor. But I am more passionate about this "Absolute Measure"/"Objective Analysis" series than anything else right now (except maybe writing music independently), so I want this to work in the future. And with the way the internet is headed, ads increasing, AI getting more prevalant, and pretty much all major platforms getting overrun with needless verification and censorship measures, this still seems like a viable way to do "business" - selling the physical media containing my videos. And hey, as a result of all this, certain things I would probably cut from the YouTube versions of the videos would actually be in the DVD version -- so even MORE bonus content!
Thirdly, I want to be able to discuss things with fans more frequently. I want an email portal open, I want a guestbook, I want... well, a LOT of things. Of course, the forums are where I'll communicate a lot, too, but an email portal doesn't sound like a bad idea right now. I'm going to eventually go through the painstakingly long process of making all the artwork I want for this website myself, too. It'll be a bit tedious, but I think I can do it. And, of course, moving away from Neocities is in the cards, but not until the very distant future, when I have the resources to self-host. Neocities is a pretty good starting point, I reckon. They do provide a very forgiving and inviting beginner's environment, after all.
That's pretty much it for right now. I hope I can maintain development of this overtime. I've got a lot of time buffer right now, but I do need to stay on this, because I know I'll forget. It'll be very funny taking pictures of the website development each and every day to eventually throw it up on the internet as a collage of sorts. Anyways, that's all for now. I'll keep cracking away at this tomorrow! I'll just have to find some tutorials... I'm sure Neocities has something anyway.
