Asked Questions

• Q: What do you do?
  • In my day job, I work as a software engineer on DevOps and testing tools for a bank.
    Here, I play video games, create mods for games, build bots, and sketch Slowpokes. I'd recommend checking out my YouTube or the Projects section if you're looking for some examples.
    The Tumblr also exists and accumulates most of the things I post elsewhere, eventually. Stuff like art, random thoughts, and reblogs of things I find funny end up here too.
• Q: How much money do you make on the channel?
  • Uh, none.
    A full report of all expenses and profit made on the channel and through related ventures are detailed over in the Transparency section of the site.
    If I ever start making money on the channel, you'll be able to tell because I report any income there.
• Q: Who edits your videos?
  • Some of my highlight videos were edited by Denis Afloroaiei's Keyframers, and others are edited by myself and other editors I work with.
    Generally, I edit the majority of my project videos myself, and get help with highlights. Check the video description to find out who edited it!
• Q: What's the deal with the thumbnails?
  • When this was asked, the thumbnails were different, but now there's just a gear at the top left for project videos, a controller for game highlights, and a star for special events and noteworthy collabs.
    Thumbnail art and assets are done by a variety of people, but primarily myself and Derpy Squiddles.
• Q: When do you stream?
  • I will announce streams on my Discord. I stream some Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 6:00 PM Eastern Time. I stream to YouTube mostly, and occasionally to Discord.
• Q: Can I get my name in your videos?
  • I generally do thank and interact with regular viewers / commenters so feel free to drop by my streams or subscribe at my YouTube channel.
    Sending in mod ideas that get used in a video pretty much guarantees a shout out, as well.
• Q: What does the name mean?
  • SSBlur is short for "Super Sonic Blur", originally stylized as SUPERSonicBlur.
    It doesn't really mean anything, I stole it from a kid when I was in elementary school. He played Webkinz and their name was "SonicBlur67" I think.
    He then suggested I should pick up Webkinz, so I did. But I had a problem: I had no idea how to pick a username.
    Well, I wanted something better than "SonicBlur".
    So I picked "SUPERSonicBlur".
    
• Q: Why is your name not always the same?
  • Typically it's just "blur", but sometimes people already know me as something else, there's already another blur, or the username is taken. In these cases, I'll use the older "SSBlur" or some variation like "bIur"/"biur", "blub", or something similar.
    Currently, my main one is "blurprime", because for some reason SSBlur is taken or unusable on a lot of sites.
