November Update! (Patreon)

Hello fellow engineers, there's quite a bit going on at the moment so I'll break this one down into different sections! By the way how cool is the fan art above, a Twitter follower sketched it for me!

Christmas!:

So Christmas is approaching, and I would usually be very excited about releasing my Christmas themed merch! Unfortunately that is not going to happen this year, it has been the year of being let down by others for me, so sadly my plans for a knitted Bridgemas sweater is not possible- nor is the Christmas themed Paddy Plushie! Very sad, but there is more details on the merch in the section below. I am planning on taking some time off over Christmas and after a two year wait I finally have a snowboard holiday booked over New Year!

Videos:

At the moment I am trying to get at least two weeks ahead in terms of uploaded content so that I can have the two weeks off over Christmas and still upload daily, it may be there is a reduced schedule if I don't achieve this but so far we're on track! Poly Bridge seems to have gone down well, so I will be continuing with that series throughout December- as well as Timberborners and Cities Skylines. I have a bit of a puzzle game theme going on at the moment, so expect a lot more of those. Plus the usual random games I have found will of course be appearing!

Streams:

Streams will likely be taking a backseat so that I can get these extra videos completed. I will stream whenever I get some free time but if you don't see me live until next year then you now know the reason!

Merch:

When March comes around I will leaving my current merch supplier, unfortunately they are terrible at communicating, are liars, and generally I just want rid of them- I am contracted to use them until March sadly.

IRL:

So, as you know I have been trying to create extra videos to cover the holiday period, however things haven't quite gone to plan... First I decided to take the weekend off to have my family come and stay. Sadly the boiler broke whilst they were here which meant no hot water, and as it turns out, we need a replacement boiler! So with me freezing and stinking from lack of heating and shower, I am having to wait until the noisy boiler installation is completed before I can record again. My girlfriends car also broke down yesterday, meaning I now have to drive her to and from work until her car can be seen in the garage next week. Hence, streams will be even more unlikely to happen as I am falling further and further behind unfortunately! You may have noticed I haven't been very active on Twitter, or even the Discord, and this is my excuse as the priority has to be the videos as these now pay my bills- and with an ever growing team, the expenses are growing all the time!

Aside from that, channel is doing well, I am doing well, Paddy is doing well and we're all looking forward to a break (which hopefully you'll agree is well earned!). Hopefully see you for a December update, but if not enjoy the holiday period and I hope you all find the time to keep watching my content!!

PLB!
