December 2023 Q&A Time! Submit Those Questions!
Added 2023-12-16 19:31:02 +0000 UTCThe weather outside is frightful, but the questions? Oh my, they're so delightful. You know what it is Patrons, it's time for our quarterly Q&A. The last one of the year! I'm ready and rarin' over here, so submit any questions below that you would like answered on video.
I do request that if you can, keep your question as short as you can just so it'll be more manageable if we do happen to have a big turnout this session. Not that you would mind if this thing spills over into another hour long session. Cause let's be honest, those are fun. But anywho, submit your question on this post, or feel free to email it discreetly to: MysticRyan@Gmail.com
Answers will be filmed before the end of the year and hopefully made available before that as well. And don't forget we have a Director's Commentary coming as well for 30 Platinums! Alright, thank you all so much. You're the bees knees as they say.
- Ryan

Hi Ryan Love your videos, especially those Vlog-like videos where you do 30-day challenges or when you move your rooms. Do you have plan to do those Vlog-like videos more frequently? Maybe take your PS Vita or Portal to a fastfood restarant or middle of nowhere, or a day in a life of a PS player ..etc...

2023-12-26 11:49:47 +0000 UTCHello Ryan, Happy Holidays! 1. How do you think will Sony manage the rising costs of game development ($300M for Spider-Man 2) with continuing to make cinematic, single-player, story-driven experiences moving forward? 2. With how expensive games are to make, do you think Game Pass is really profitable as Phil Spencer has claimed it to be? Thank you for all that you do and I'm looking forward to even more videos in 2024!

2023-12-25 02:59:29 +0000 UTCHey Ryan 😀 love your videos and all the work you put into them. I am curious if you have ever thought about opening a po box or something so you can accept mail from your viewers for those videos where you check out old memory cards/game saves etc.

2023-12-24 11:52:50 +0000 UTCAre you a fan of CRTs? Do you have any now that you have space in the new house?

2023-12-23 00:53:40 +0000 UTCHey Ryan! after skipping some q&a's I reckoned it was time for me to put some new questions in so here goes. 1. Are you happy with how your channel is doing at the moment? Are you a google analytics junky? Do you want to change stuff or are you happy with how your format is at this moment? 2. Nah.. I will keep it at 1 question as I see you have enough questions already. Only want to thank you for all the video's you published past year, you are still my number 1 resource of all Playstation things. Keep up the amazing work!

2023-12-22 13:27:43 +0000 UTCHey man hope all is well. I know you have mentioned previously that Sony is working on a new PS2 emulator. Do you have any idea on the timeline of this? Also, do you think 2024 is the year where we will finally get a large scale showcase to see what first party studios are up to? Specifically Sucker Punch, ND, Bend etc Hoping to provide more game giveaways in the future 🫡 - Isaiah

2023-12-22 03:20:58 +0000 UTCHey there! Happy holidays to you and Mellisa! If a shadow drop were to happen right now, what would you rather have and why? The Last Of Us Part lll or Uncharted 5
Andrew Pack
2023-12-22 01:44:44 +0000 UTCRyan, have you ever thought about doing a series revisiting and completing platinum lists you started years ago but haven't finished? I envision something similar to what we saw with the Killzone server close video. Seems like something that would be fun to watch and help you work toward your goal of hitting 90 percent completion percentage on PSNProfiles. Happy Holidays!
Andrew Burnes
2023-12-21 20:04:00 +0000 UTCWhat’s good bro. Got 2 for you: Will we ever get gta 4 on ps5? It’s available via backwards compatibility on the series x but not sure why it isn’t the same for Sony. Know you had a goal to work at ign on the critics side early on; is that still an option if it ever presented itself to you? Take it easy.

2023-12-21 19:28:21 +0000 UTCHey Ryan. I loved the Scott The Woz cameo in the 30 plat in 30 days video! Lol Licensed music games aside…On any system, what is your favorite video game soundtrack? You’re trapped in a narrow hallway with 10 Clickers coming after you. Who’re you choosing to fight along side with? Joel, Ellie or Abby, and why is it Abby? 600 LTPS and counting! Let’s goooooooooo! YOU take it easy.

2023-12-21 04:19:29 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, hope your holydays gonna be nice. What do you think about Slim version not beign cheaper like it usually was. And what are your thoughts about the pro version?
Lucas Fiala
2023-12-21 02:41:15 +0000 UTCHi Ryan! Was wondering if you have any favorite gaming related Christmas memories? Maybe giving or receiving a gaming gift or being totally surprised by something. With us being in the Holiday season I'm eager to hear your memories growing up. Thanks again for the content as always and stay warm out there my fellow western new yorker
DangerZone
2023-12-21 01:55:47 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, hope all is well! Do you have any long-term games that you play for fun and just sink a lot of time into? Games like Minecraft, Animal Crossing, Sims 4, as examples. Are there any PS2 franchises that you think should have gotten the "PS3 Classics" treatment like Ratchet + Clank, and Sly, but didn't? Take care of yourself, and Melissa!
Jazzy Boswell
2023-12-20 23:42:48 +0000 UTCHey there Ryan! Hope you and Melissa are doing good, is it a coke tonight? My main question is if you had to have another studio do Jak & Daxter which studio would you choose?
Jarrod Verburg
2023-12-20 19:49:18 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, some questions for you, How's your PS3 that you modified a while ago? It still works? are you planning on doing something like this maybe with a PS4 or PS5? That video was very funny. Why is your trophy list private? Every now and then I look at your profile to see what you play, I was sad not to be able to see it anymore lol. What are your general thoughts about GTA 6? This game will break the internet.

2023-12-19 04:24:09 +0000 UTCHey Ryan (and Melissa), 30 Platinums in 30 Days Pt. 3 was really awesome, congrats! I loved your recent videos revisiting some lesser known / enjoyed PS3 titles (Folklore, Lair and Haze), are there any others in the works? Happy Holidays!
Aurel Balteaux
2023-12-19 00:37:09 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, Really enjoyed the 30 Platinums in 30 Days Part 3. I laughed when I heard the release date as it was also my birthday. I have 2 questions, 1. Have you thought about releasing more chill videos alongside your main videos such thoughts on certain topics such video games series, movies, etc. 2. Will we ever see a return of the Let Play videos as I found chill and a great listen while working on other projects?
Donald Malone Jr.
2023-12-18 14:10:21 +0000 UTCHey man. Happy Holidays! Great work on 30 plats. Your overall editing/cinematography really shined in that vid. I appreciated the visual gags that you set up. Use this question to take a breather, or talk about something that’s been on your mind for a moment. I hope the winter is kind to you!
Ben Lindey
2023-12-18 06:17:02 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, Congrats on the success of 30 platinums part 3, and also LTPS 600! My question is, have you ever considered how (in an alternate timeline) your channel would look had you based it around Xbox or Nintendo? Would you have dropped off YouTube in the Wii U or Xbox One days, or would you have persevered? Would we have got a 30,000 gamerscore in 30 days part 3? Have a great Christmas and New Year!
Adam Thorley
2023-12-17 21:48:03 +0000 UTCHey Ryan! What are your thoughts on PAL games for PS1 and PS2? Do you have any in your collection? I’m from Europe, and have a collection of PAL games for these systems. Probably ~100 games per console. But since they are inferior, I started to download NTSC versions of these games for my Vita and PS3, so I’ve found myself never touching these PAL discs. Ape Escape for example is so much worse on PAL. What would you do in my shoes? Sell off the whole collection and start collecting NTSC instead? Or stick to PAL? Region locking isn’t a concern to me. I have many CECHAs and a PS3 Test (mine belonged to a studio called Amberlight, who worked on Singstar with London Studio). Thanks and Happy New Year :)
Maxim Bagdasarian
2023-12-17 21:09:38 +0000 UTCHey Ryan been watching your content for the past 4 years and I’ve got 2 questions for you. I’ve always wondered is YouTube your full time job now or are you doing something else as well? Secondly; besides the Jak games or the FF series what is your favorite PS2 game? Thanks for the great content! (You take it easy)
Tristen Lane
2023-12-17 18:43:40 +0000 UTCHey Ryan! My question is this… has Sony ever reached out to you personally whether is thanking you for the work and information you provide or actually reached out asking to work for them? Love the video content please keep up the fantastic work! Also I need a ps4 pro grill lol
Steven Dominguez (Bigboyjones2029)
2023-12-17 14:46:20 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, been a fan of yours for over 9 years and your videos are still a mandatory part of my Friday (or sometimes Saturday) morning routines even to this day. I have one main question and one bonus question. Main question: Do you believe Sony will ever create a handheld device that only allows you to play downloaded PSP, Vita, PSOne and PS2 games that are no longer accessible on modern hardware? Just games that you’ve already downloaded on the PSP, Vita or PS3 storefronts but accessible on the go? Seems like an appealing way to keep these games accessible. Bonus question: What’s the thing you miss most about the PS3 era that Sony never brought forward with PS4/PS5?Personally aside from games, I miss Home, the reality show “The Tester” and Folding @ Home
Yung ragoo
2023-12-17 05:08:03 +0000 UTCHey Ryan, I hope you are doing well. My question, have there been any memorable interactions with any viewers at a convention or out in public that you have had? Thanks for everything, Happy Holidays and YOU take it easy.
Jeremy Joyner
2023-12-17 04:44:09 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, what do you think about Naughty Dogs decision to cancel the Last of Us multiplayer?
Quinn Q Miller
2023-12-17 02:38:16 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, just wondering if you have any status update on the streaming situation yet? I recall you wanted to do some weekly sessions on Twitch. We are all eager to subscribe on there ! Take it easy, you
Dennis
2023-12-16 23:25:49 +0000 UTCHey Ryan do you watch any anime at this time?
Victor Perez
2023-12-16 22:19:14 +0000 UTCYou have mentioned that Grand theft auto is your top 3 video game franchise. Which games rollout was your favorite? (Most hype, best trailers) And what are your thoughts on the new GTA VI trailer?
Patryk Hanik
2023-12-16 21:58:18 +0000 UTCHey Ryan I saw in the description of this that you're doing a commentary on 30 plays in 30 days I remember seeing the initial video of you getting the Tesla used with all the road trips how many miles do you have racked up? Being a Tesla owner myself I'm always curious how many miles are on the odometer in one of my older cars I went to the Moon and back (478,000 miles) Congratulations on your 600th episode, I think it'd be a great idea if you did something similar with Melissa celebrating her public tenure on the channel. I will see you in the next Q&A🙃

2023-12-16 20:40:53 +0000 UTCwhich game did you enjoy the most when filming your most recent trophy challenge? I'm so close to pulling the trigger and buying a psvr 2 (my first vr headset ever) what game should I play first besides the pack-in Horizon title and the resident evil games since I already own them? Just waiting for a good sale. Hopefully soon, fingers crossed. Also, are we getting astro bot on psvr 2, that would be sick?!
Beau Tepley
2023-12-16 20:40:25 +0000 UTCHi Ryan, hope all is well! Firstly, the 30 platinums video was a great watch, thank you, really showcased your film making. Any plans for 2024, both on the channel and outside of gaming? Have a great Christmas and New Year!
Sam Brown
2023-12-16 20:38:50 +0000 UTCHi, given you clearly work very hard, how do you relax? Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Cheers, Shaun (England)

2023-12-16 20:29:49 +0000 UTCShould I be worried about ps5 vertical situation? Can you still connect a psp to a playstation account?

2023-12-16 20:02:51 +0000 UTCYou mentioned in one video that you used to work in a casino and met sketchy people there. Would you be willing to share your casino days with us? Thanks! YOU TAKE IT EASY 😡

2023-12-16 19:56:28 +0000 UTCFirst time Patreon Q&A commentor but long time subscriber here since your playthroughs(which are my favorite by the way to listen to in the car) My questions is whether you think Christmas stockings or presents are better. Personally I prefer stockings since the little items make all the difference.

2023-12-16 19:54:39 +0000 UTCHi Ryan! Happy holiday season to you! My question this time: who do you imagine will take over Jim Ryan after he retires?
Nicolas Lafarge
2023-12-16 19:53:10 +0000 UTCHello Ryan! 1. I believe that a while back you were going to do a video on the last few vita titles (you mentioned this in your post commentary of 30 plats in 30 days part 2) but from what i've seen it hasn't been released. So did you cancel the video, Is it still being worked on, or was it incorporated in something else? 2. You've said in the past that you do all the on screen and behind the scenes work on the channel. Have you ever considered to let someone else help you out with the editing, ideas, thumbnails, research, etc?
Adam Greene
2023-12-16 19:44:00 +0000 UTCNo snow yet here on the Canadian prairies! 😭 I wish the weather was more frightful! Anyway, your newest 30 in 30 video did NOT disappoint. Bravo good sir, thank-you for sharing your passion. Here is my question: what does success mean to you and how do you measure it? Bonus Q for Christmas 🙂 If someone lived your life for a day what is one thing they would likely be surprised by?
Derek Bergen
2023-12-16 19:43:29 +0000 UTCHey Ryan! Hope you're having a fun holiday season. Can you tease some future big videos you might have planned for 2024?
