September Update (Patreon)

Chads, Gosus and Hax0rs,

I'm pausing my income again. Nobody should be charged this month. Still don't have anything to show you yet. I sound like a broken record.

I've had a bad case of ligma.

Though I've been fairly healthy, honestly, I haven't been doing too good recently. I was doing alright for a little while, until I wasn't. I was losing weight, then I got hooked on cereal and started putting it back on. The feeling that I've got my shit together comes and goes like the tide. It's been particularly hard these past few months to keep a hold of it. Hell, the past year and a half has been diarrhea.

Sure doesn't feel like it's been a whole month since the last time I wrote one of these. Time zips by when you know there's shit you should be doing. I've still been taking a break from Arby 'n' the Chief season eight production. I haven't been ready to go back to it. The tasks that need done are so numerous and the subject matter is quite heavy. I've still gotta narrow down the auditions I've received. I'm embarrassed.

As I've said, the last episodes are written and a lot of it is shot. This isn't Deus Ex Machina again where I've written myself into an impossible corner. I know how the story ends. I just gotta get it done.

I've got commentaries for legacy content outlined but I'm so anxious about going on camera again and haven't wanted to.

So what have I done throughout September? I've been picking away at a number of non-season eight projects, slowly. I worked on the script for Master Chief Sucks at Halo Infinite, which will come out at some point in two parts, one about Chief's reaction to the flights, the other to the full game when it comes out in December. I've continued to develop my new media review show, which I'm genuinely excited to show you eventually. I totally revamped the thumbnail template for its episodes. I built a silly sock puppet with my mom's help, which will act as a contrarian side-kick character. I've hand-painted practical props. I taught myself how to use Blender and used it to build and light an entire digital set from scratch, with the intention of superimposing chroma-keyed shots of myself and my side-kick character overtop various rendered angles of the set. I've continued to work on the story for a possible reboot of Hard Justice.

I'm getting my shit together again now, using October 1st as a new starting point. I got up super early this morning, got washed and ready, made breakfast, cooked and rationed a bunch of meals, took a bunch of vitamins, went out for a walk, and just finished writing this post at a park bench. After this I'll head home, share this post, and see if I can get the Arby 'n' the Chief auditions finally narrowed down. We'll see how long I can keep this up.

Thank you all so much as always for your continued patience, financial support, and the messages you've been sending me, which are all deeply appreciated. I hope you're all well.
