Trying out The Binding of Isaac, Part I
I've been playing this offline but wanted to switch it up since I graduate grad school today. Overall this is pretty fun if you love horror and aren't grossed out too easily. Sooo many achievements to unlock.

Love the organization. Yay for all of your accomplishments this year and good luck with all of your goals for next year. I've decided for 2025 I'm not setting any goals or joining any yearly reading challenges. I just want a laid-back easy year.
Thank you, friend! As neurotic as my planning stuff can get, I really do think it helps me in the end with trying to meet my goals. Heck yes! I love that you want a laid back year. That's a worthy goal in itself.
Parabéns!
Thanks so much!
Congrats Jonny. I can't believe it's already been 3 years. It feels like you just started.
Thank you so much friend! You know, the pandemic made time feel all funky, so I totally get what you mean. The semesters blurred after a while. I'm so grateful this part of the journey is done so I can get out there and make an impact!
Amazing! Congratulations 🎉
Thank you friend! I'm so glad this part of my journey is coming to a close. Great things are coming!
Yo i love your vids dude
Thanks so much! Appreciate that so much.
I'm not a big candy person so I'm not the best person to ask. I can say I don't like any of the ones you mentioned except for candy corn, I would need to try that one again before I decide if I like it or not because it has been a very long time since I've had it.
Oh, you are lucky! I can't stay away from candy. If you do try the candy corn I recommend the pumpkin shaped ones or the triangle ones with chocolate on the bottom row. Both of those are really good!
When you are done reading your new book finds, pass them to your mom to read (as long as they are not too scary) LOL
LOL! I'll have to see. Patrick's may not be too scary for you. Not sure about George yet since he's new to me.
The theme of the shopping trip was cutsie halloween!
Also the boyfriend did good with his gift to you. You two are the cutest
I'm not mad about cutesie stuff at all as long as it's spooky. :) The bf knows me sooo well. We're constantly finishing each other's sentences.
Sounds like you had a great time, and you got a lot of great goodies. I love the candy corn and ghosty. Also, how freaking cute that you came home to a sweet little gift from your boyfriend.
Oh yeah, I'm just glad I resisted the urge to spend even more. Everything looks so good on vacation! He totally got me, I can't believe it!
I posted a book signing vlog because you inspired me!💙
Oh my gosh, that's amazing! Your video is great. I can't believe you got to meet Ali Hazelwood!
Congrats friend. I hope it's a successful day for you.
Thanks friend! I can't wait to visit MN. Hopefully we'll get to squeeze some time into exploring the sights a bit.
I don't decorate for Halloween, but I do decorate for Fall, and it really just depends on when I'm feeling it. Sometimes I will start early and sometimes it's later and sometimes not at all. I hadn't really thought about it yet this year until seeing your video.
That's great! Fall is my favorite season, so even when Halloween is done I still keep up some fall items until Thanksgiving. I feel like each year I'm trying to celebrate the season earlier and earlier. I just need more!
Im vending at my first show at the Mpls Crypticon! Super excited but super nervous!! Ill be selling crochet items and 3d print items as well! You are not alone! <3 <3 <3
Oh wow, that's awesome! I'll actually be at the MN one too. Come say hi! :)
Hi! I ended up uninstalling Palia from my Switch a few months ago. After I cleared my field it just wouldn't let me put down the workbench. After restarting countless times, I just gave up! Ugh! It's such a pretty game and looks like so much fun, so I will live vicariously through your playing! Thanks for uploading!
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that happened to you! I don't know if that was a Switch specific issue or not. I currently play on my PC, but that would definitely be a problem. Very welcome! I love this game!
Yay I am so happy and excited for you!!
Thank you friend! My release party went so well. On cloud nine
@@JonathanPongratz yay I’m so glad!!
Sweet!!!! 🎉
Thanks! Now I just gotta get this sequel going lol
@@JonathanPongratz Yes you do!
Looks great!
Thank you so much!
Hope you succeed bro
thanks! This game can really get obnoxious sometimes but i'll get there eventually lol.
You've got a nice smile. ☺
Thank you! I've always been told that's one of my best physical attributes.
Nice vid
Thanks! Do you play Brotato too?
Hey I sent you a message on Instagram about this. Congrats again!!
Thank you, friend!
Yipee
Thanks so much! Got some big news coming out today!
congrats!
Thank you so much! It's such a great feeling to be done with this one after working on it for so long. :)
Yay congrats!!
Thank you! I'm so happy this is finally happening!
Yay for your first convention!! I'm sorry you didn't hit your goal. Hopefully the more you do and the more you get your name out there the better the results will be.
Thanks buddy! Yeah, I didn't meet my goal but it was somewhat close. One of the authors I'm friends with was telling me that establishing a base with these events is important and that you have to start somewhere. I think I have some fans from this and I'm sure if they saw me again they would test out my next book.
Idk why TH-cam recommended this but I clicked right away!! 🥳🎶
Aw, thanks for stopping by! Yeah, the title of my video is kinda weird I'll admit, but it's true! I wonder if anyone else out there had janitor ghost friends pulling pranks on them.
@@JonathanPongratz Well the title got MY attention. Great lighthearted story! Im glad you decided to share it! :)
Congrats Jonny!! I'm so happy for your and everything you are accomplishing this year!!
Thank you! I really need to stop doubting myself, so doing this is a big part of gaining that confidence in my work. :)
Last year I went to the Toronto pride parade and it was one of the funnest afternoons of my life! I'm in a small town this year and there aren't much options as far as pride goes. This isn't a friendly place... Not sure what I'll get up to.
Hi Victoria! Thanks for stopping by. I've heard Canadian pride parades are amazing, so that's definitely on my bucket list, on top of the festivals they do in the summer. I'm sorry to hear that you're in an area where pride may be stifled. Maybe do something with some local friends and have your own little pride celebration? Don't let them dampen your spirits!
Yay for all the Pride activities. Unfortunately where I live there is nothing like that available so my only plan is to read LGBTQIA+ books. Obviously I am reading Heartsong by TJ Klune with you and I also have Pop Star by Eden Finley on my TBR. As of right now those are the only to I'm certain of but I hope to read more than that.
Oh dang! Well at least you're still able to celebrate in your own way. I've always tended to live near bigger cities and they always have something going on.
People bringing negativity to your streams is incredibly uncalled for. But also, how could they? You're such a wonderful soul. - Vee.
Aw, thank you friend! What's happening is usually general spamming, but sometimes it appears people are using the tags like gaymer to post homophobic comments on people's streams. I don't get why they waste their energy when I'm just going to ban them.
Happy Halfway to Halloween!
Thanks, you too! Stay spooky Joshy!
Yay!! I can't wait for the sequel! Good luck with finding a publisher for the first book!!
Thank you! No update yet, but the longer it takes means the greater chance that they're considering it in my mind.
Cute video ❤
Thanks! I always have so much fun playing video games with the bf. :D
A wonderful accomplishment and informative video, keep writing, sharing and shining, best of luck!
Thanks you so much, friend! I will definitely keep charging forward.
Yay I am so happy for you Jonny. I'm pretty sure I've already read all of the books you have released so I will just have to wait for the next release after The Ruins.
Thank you friend! I'm just so glad that I can start focusing on the other end of the process on this one. I usually don't spend so long on a project but I think the time was well spent. 😊 Always appreciate your support!
Texas Frightmare Weekend is the one I try to do every year. It's really popular, people come from all over the world to attend. The biggest draw for me is the celebrities. I've had the pleasure to meet Meg Foster, Dario Argento, Julian Sands, Tom Savini, Alex Winter, cast members of Killer Klowns, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Sleepaway Camp. It's a lot of fun, but very VERY expensive. I dropped 3 grand there last year. There's a new convention starting up here called The Halloween Preservation Society. Not as many celebrities, but I did get to meet Rachel True from The Craft there and she was super sweet.
Oh wow, I've never heard of that one! It sounds right up my alley. If I visit Texas in the near future I'll have to think of arranging the dates right so I can attend. OMG, 3 grand?! Holy cow, you must've saved up before you went then, right? This time I did good and spend just over $100. With the ticket it was about $175 in total.
@@JonathanPongratz We saved for a long time for that one. I wanted to go all out one year because the previous times I'd gone, I'd only had a couple hundred bucks to spend. There's soooooooo much to see and buy there, plus it's insanely popular, that it often takes the whole weekend to get to it all. This year, if we go, it'll be a much smaller and more budgeted experience. Warwick Davis is going to be there and some more indie names that I'm excited about. When Robert Englund was there, his line would start before the show even opened and get so long it was near impossible to meet him. It usually takes place in May.
A word that I always have to pause before saying to check myself is "hyperbole."
Oh me too! I always think hyper-bowl instead of hyper-bowl-ee.
The English language is beautiful in the fact that it sucks, let's face it. And since we have so much influence from our cousins across the Atlantic, pretty much any place name with a "...shire" at the end is subject to whatever the locals call it and/or what the historical reference was, which is infuriating. In the meantime, let's talk about words (and I will use five quick alphabetical examples) such as "apocalypse", "bravo", "calliope", "duplicitous", and "epoch". But there are thousands to hundreds of thousands of examples of pronunciation confusion in our lives. It is no wonder folks have just starting truncating everything to the basic 'sound bite' in written communication.
Great points! You got me with calliope. Adding it to my list haha
Real Ghoststories Online is a fun YT channel/podcast. Best of luck with your Resurgence story!
Haha, how did you know that's on my podcast player?! All I have is ghosty scary stuff and a little bit of true crime. It completes me!
@@JonathanPongratz Because you mentioned it.:-)
@@Priscilla_Bettis Oh, I think the one I mentioned was Real Life Ghost Stories, but the name is sooo similar it's very easy to switch em up. Regardless I love the both of them!
Surgery, no fun. Glad you were able to get up and about soon after! "Conscience" is a fun story, well worth a newsletter signup.:-)
Yeah, I'm just glad it's over for now. Surgery is evil, although I'm very glad they knocked me out. Thanks! I'm hoping it'll give people a good idea of what my writing is like.
Squee!! I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip to MagicLand with Cassie and Mr T!!!
Of course! You're a superb writer my friend. Ready for more! :D
Yeah, I'm glad the ice age is over too! Especially since I have relatives in TX. It's totally fine that editing your earlier fantasy piece is proving to be a bigger job than expected. It just highlights how much you've grown as a writer.:-)
Me too! My sister and her family live there. They really lucked out, but know a lot of people impacted really hard by it all. Hopefully the powers that be will winterize the power grid going forward so it doesn't happen again. Thanks for the vote of confidence! Today I'm going to keep working on Ruins, but tomorrow I'll switch back to Gifted Chronicles and see how I feel.
