Update Blog - 4/16/22 (Patreon)

I'll admit that maybe I might've worked a little too hard last week. To be honest, by simultaneously working on so many projects at the same time, I almost had a burnout. I felt pretty bad once I was done with everything. Sure, I can move on from it all, but my mental state was left damaged. That's why I had to take a day off and spend the weekend with friends and family to refuel myself and feel like I can completely move on from everything. To have a new me in order to keep going. Nonetheless, here's what I've done throughout the week.

- Released my review of Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Because of the pandemic, I wasn't able to watch a lot of movies on the big screen and the ones I have seen for reviews are honestly not so great (except Encanto, of course). However, when it came to Sonic 2, that was the most fun I ever had in a cinema in years! Yes, it was a pretty stupid film and the script is left to be desired in a critical standpoint, but this was just absolutely fun to watch with all the action, the cheesy comedy and the over-the-top moments were just a joy and a blast to watch unfold. It's like the best turn-off-your-brain movie I've seen in awhile. And with the good stuff in there like the action and the CG, it results in a movie where I can forgive its setbacks and appreciate the joy it has given me. I know there seems to be a war between critics and fans over this movie, but I can gladly say that I'm not part of it. I'm one of the good guys that gave it a Fresh rating ;) 

- Finished a bunch of reviews that I started last week: There are times when I can forget my own limits, and this week, I learned the hard way...again. Keep in mind, I had a whole lot of projects to work on all at the same time, which included: the Sonic 2 review, the Apollo 10 1/2 review, watching episodes of the series review, putting the finishing touches to an Interview video, and managing sponsorships and a voice acting gig at a recording studio downtown. At the start of the week, I was finally able to complete all of that by the start of the week, but it was too much at once.That's why I needed a break ,but a true break so that I don't overload myself. Don't worry, the projects still all came out good (as you have seen with the Sonic 2 review), but I just did not feel good after all that. If there's one thing to take from this blog, it's to not think you can handle multiple responsibilities at once. Take it one step at a time so that you can feel good about yourself with what you have done and avoid a burnout.

- Continuing to watch episodes for the Series Review: Once all the reviews and videos were done, I slowly got myself back to just focusing on watching the episodes for my series review. Of course, after overworking myself, I didn't want to go crazy and have all the episodes binged before the week would end. I'm still watching some episodes and there are still a few more that I have to go through. It's just this time, I don't have any other projects to work on at the same time. I can put all my energy and focus onto this series and give it a good analysis before starting the review itself. I'll be using this to help me get back on my feet and be ready to properly make videos without going overload on them. We all gotta start somewhere for a reset.

- 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 25th. 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 Tuesday the 19th, and Thursday the 21th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that is it for that heck of a week. I'll be sure to take it easy on myself for next time. But, for now, we shall celebrate by feasting on chocolate to honor the day that the Easter Bunny resurrected and covered the world with eggs for our sins...or something like that. Oh, and one more thing. I just got this in the mail. I got a really special idea for what to do with this! Anyways, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
