Channel Update #18 (Sep) – also, sorry (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

Last update I said: “The next video will probably be a review of pathfinder wrath of the righteous”, and that’s not how things turned out. So, good on me for using noncommittal language, and, er, sorry for anyone disappointed about that. Anyway, there should be a new video tomorrow but I’ll explain the pathfinder thing a bit more first.

I received a review code for the game late on Aug 23rd. Originally I thought I’d get this code on the 20th, but regardless this didn’t leave me much time to try to complete the game and then make a video in time for the actual release date, which was my original plan. Things were then further complicated by the death of a family member which led to me spending a lot of time traveling recently, and so it quickly became clear to me that not only would I not have a review ready by the release date, but I wouldn’t even come close. And after that I just wasn’t really feeling the video, and I didn’t want to force it if the passion wasn’t there, so I put the game to the side and moved on to something else… and it’s here we get to the hard part of this update.

I have a list of video ideas. It’s stored in a notepad txt file and over time its grown rather unwieldy as more ideas have been added. Most of the ideas found within this file will never be videos. Some are genuinely bad and some are rather… odd, but all of them have something in common; they all have at least one really good reason for why they should remain an idea. Anyway, with the Pathfinder video ‘scrapped for the time being’ I was in a rare position where I didn’t really know what video to make next and so I went to my list and picked one. What basis I used for this choice I don’t entirely recall. I guess it just seemed like a good idea at the time.

But times change and now the video is finished. And tomorrow I’ll have to click the button in the youtube studio that turns that video public. And the particular idea that I chose doesn’t seem like the smartest choice anymore.

So yeah, new video out tomorrow. Also, sorry.
