Update Blog - 11/14/20 (Patreon)

Sometimes, you have to face some unexpected challenges that will make your times tougher than usual. For some reason, this week decided to be the week of me vs. technology as I fight against my own machines in order to do my regular things like my job and other tasks. However, I did persist and managed to get the job done, even with those obstacles. In other words, this was my week.

- Released my review of Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters: I feel like as time passes and the pandemic getting stronger, it's most likely inevitable that I'll have to start looking into Netflix to make more reviews. Even if this is requested and it's a series, this will be a good start if I do go down the Netflix route with my reviews. Anyways, with that said, this show was okay. It's not the best thing I've seen in the streamer, but it did give me some decent entertainment.I can see how it can be fun on its own, but it's probably my own research that, funny enough, dampen the mood when watching it. There's just so many comparison to Spectacular Spider-Man that makes the show feel less original and more like trying to be something that it's not. I saw some people that do want a season 3, but at this point, after more than 2 years since the last season, I think it's safe to say that Netflix and Hasbro dropped this one and moved on. It was fun doing another animated series again and relearning how to do it. I hope it still came out well and the review is still strong. But most importantly, I hope it was worth spending $60 on that Stretch Armstrong toy!

- Editing Part 12 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I thought this would be a bit of a quick job to take care of, that there isn't a whole lot to say on these films and just buildup to the 2010 decade. Boy was I wrong. Not only did the video turn out to be around 35 minutes, but also, I had to wrestle with technical difficulties that just seem to really mess up my editing software. Maybe it's just this file in particular that just struggles with some of the movies I need to use for clips, but it just kept on lagging and sometimes crashes my whole computer when all I wanted to do is a simple thing or just to look which clip to use. It was certainly frustrating to deal with, especially when all it did was kept on delaying the time for me to finish it and leave out at the end of the day in anger knowing I could've done more if it weren't for these problems. The good news is that at least these problems aren't fatal and don't ruin the progress that I would make with every edit I do. I should be done by this weekend with everything, but for next time, I just hope this kind of problem doesn't surface again and cause me to delay some of my work and mess with my schedule. Anyways, while not worth going through those troubles, I'm sure this still came out as a strong video and a pivotal moment to prepare for what's to come. 

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $25+/MONTH: I will have my first episode of the Super Secret Patreon Exclusive Q&A Show ready and released for Monday the 23th. If you have a question you'd like me to answer for the show, message me and mention that it's for the Secret Q&A Show.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Thursday the 19th, and Sunday the 22th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that's been my tough week of struggling with technology. I conquered, but that doesn't mean this mentally took a toll. With that big video done, I'm just ready to get into the next one and will do what I can to ensure these problems don't mess me up again so that no delays can get in my way to finish my work efficiently. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
