Checking in (Patreon)

Hey y’all!

First off, sorry for the late post! I just got back from the gym and felt the urge to check in with you. I’ve been reflecting on a few things and wanted to open up the conversation.

Recently, I mentioned dialing in on 2-3 groups at a time to dive deeper into their content while still leaving room for spontaneous posts (as you've seen with Treasure Map or Enhypen at Coachella). I noticed an unusual amount of memberships canceled around that time. So I feel inclined to ask- Did this shift upset anyone? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts—what could work better? I’m always trying to balance variety with meaningful progress and I'm not very great at it.

How are you all feeling about the kdramas currently laid out for the month? Next week, we're starting Weak Hero Class S2 and since the second channel hasn't been going smoothly, this might be my last attempt for a show for a while unless an airing show makes some progress. Happiness will likely wrap up soon but will be scheduled at 2 eps/week so I can film other things too. Would you guys be down to watch more episodes together live on Twitch? (if I started today)

Filming for GOT S6 will likely begin tomorrow and I'll aim to finish that this month to schedule it out. Unfortunately, YouTube edits are costing $350–450 per season, which just isn’t sustainable for me right now. I’ll still test the waters with Seasons 4 & possibly 5, but if we still can't break 1k views then I have to pivot, feelsbadman.

Jax and I finished Death note (last 3 eps coming soon 1.5 hr long). We've started the next collab show which is Overlord. We will start posting that likely after we finish the season but the timing is ultimately up to Jax.

Lastly, I’ve gotten a few messages about Semantic Error and Arcane, so I wanted to clarify how requests work:

The system was implemented so someone could sponsor a reaction and if others wanted to support further, we could work towards completing them. But often times, someone requests the first episode to test my interest and then that's it. Since requests are supplemental content on top of the month's plans, it's tough to automatically have to sustain a bonus 2-3 series at once on top of everything. I even have a pending Thai drama request and I know a handful of you guys have asked for a Thai or Chinese show for ages, but this may not necessarily be that!

Just a heads up: If you see "Request" in a title, it means it's patron driven. It doesn't mean I'm picking the show up (just to possibly drop it). I think it's sick that sometimes I can vibe so much with things like GOT and Arcane to where I pick it up but sometimes things might get put on the back burner - even if I'm vibing!

Anyways, thanks for reading my yap if you did, feedback would be sick and greatly beneficial for me in continuing to trying to be better at this than I was yesterday.
