That figures.Apologies for any bad formatting since I'm typing this on mobile. The good news is that I didn't have covid, just a particularly nasty flu I'm coughing out the final bits of. The bad news was the coughing was so bad over such a long period that it caused that lovely herniated disc in my spine from four years ago to flare up. That was a period where I was going insane trying to get a video on Pathologic 2 done since I was seeing the game fizzle out in real time while I wasn't able to sit upright. Luckily I don't feel that kind of time pressure, more just shitty it's been over a month since an upload now. I haven't pulled the trigger out and converted my Remington into a cane again just yet, but it's a pretty nasty return of it. The first day I knew it was definitely back over the usual pain flares I was full on mollusk mode on the floor and thankfully it's improved from that. It's a matter of doing the same physical therapy stuff I've been doing all along, though I've been having to intensify it between a lot of rest to try and get through it faster. My hope is in a week or so I'll be in a spot where I can get back to editing properly when I've done some adjustments to the office where I can work without needing to sit in the chair. It ended up being I didn't get a Dead Space review key before launch either, so even had this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have made it for launch. Which is fine since it means I can take my time and go through New Game+ and all that. So the current hope is that the video will be good to go in mid February. I can still do some writing and outlining for Callisto Protocol since there's a lot to compare with Dead Space (though that also got a NG+ mode I doubt will be worth recording) but proper editing would be too slow going right now compared to trying to get this healed and then back to it rather than trying to do it in 5 minute bursts.I'm really sorry about this. If it looks like things are worse than I thought and I might be out of commission for longer, I'll pause the Patreon just like last time this happened. Obviously February credits will be combined with the January ones, though I'll use the earlier set of questions for the Dead Space video and put out a new post for Callisto.Hope your weekends go well!

Health comes first. Get better, we can wait 👍🏻

Stephen Drop

IMO, no need to pause, just get yourself better. Hopefully it calms down quicker this time.

RedZombieWolf

This but further confirms that the flesh is weak when compared to the certainty of steel

Someone better pick up that phone, cause I called it that it was the flu. Anyways you're like the vtubers I support: I'd rather you be healthy and happy than pushing out content and burning yourself out mentally and physically. Take your time, man, we ain't going anywhere.

ConnorInACar

We can wait for a video. Get well soon!

Kolimbo

Hello. No dying. That is all.

Roiu

Get well soon! No need to rush.

Samuel Laurent

I'm happy to keep supporting through a pause, that's what this thing is all about. Get well soon.

Ian Wieserman

Definitely fine with waiting, heal up first!

Fluffy Beaver

No worries, get well, we can and will wait.

Jens Andreas

I'm here to support you and not just to pay for videos. No need to pause the patreon. Just make sure you don't stress your back too soon.

Lars Schäfer

You can really leave Patreon on, even if you are sick the whole month. We support you, not just your videos. Besides, in Germany you are guranteed reduced pay, even if you are sick for months, and I think this is what anyone should be able to have

Focus on getting better!

Matthew McConnell

This is why people should never downplay the flu (especially in regards to COVID), it can really fuck you up. Not bothered by any delays at all, it's done when it's done.

Martin Tepper

Get well soon! Back problems are the worst, I can sympathize T_T

TheGriff

your health is the most important thing here, get better soon dude 💜

Trasen56

Like others said, feel free tp leave the Patreon going if need be. Get well soon friend :)

If you need a recommendation on a less expensive, but still reliable, automatic convertible standing desk, let me know. I got one on Amazon a couple of years ago for $400, which was a big purchase for me, but it's been wonderful, and it's a big "L" desk, so there's plenty of space

Glockta

I hope you heal up a lot sooner this time. Wishing you all the best.

d3north

add me to the list of people wanting to donate through the pause. I'm here for the creator too, not only the content.

Anthony Bardill

I'm okay with you getting better while receiving money. Seems like a dick move to pay while you're okay and then stop when you need help.

Vulkan Knuckles

Dude, I get it with the herniated disc. I just got finished recovering from a bad flare up a few months ago. Take however much time you need.

JCL300

Take your time and hopefully you get better soon Mandy :)

Daniel Streb

Wishing you a good recovery ❤️‍🩹

Joshua Crager

Can you add Fear and Hunger to the list? It and it's sequel seem to be great Halloween games.

Max

Have you tried a TENS unit? I have to sit all day for work and spend some work days "strapped and zapped". I have the Lowest Bidder VA Healthcare model so you don't need to spend much to get a result.

Designated Red

Wishing you good health and rest dude!

scoot

You take all the time you need.
