G'day cobbers, how's it going?

Unfortunately I've got sweet fuck all to report as the past week has been a real SHITE show. 

DROP SOME QUESTIONS and TOPICS for the March Podcast below! I'll try to have that available sometime in the next couple of weeks.

----------------------------------

Can I just say...) I'm really fucking sick of doing these 'sorry shits a mess' updates. Been a solid 8-9 months at this point since things nosedived and this past week hasn't been much better.
The big problem I'm facing right now is just not being able to bring myself to work on things. Superchargers is ready to be written, Imaginators is ready to be played, Making-of video doco on the Ty series was supposed to be finished already and yet... it's just absurd how unable I am to get these things done. Even basic chores like uploading a video have turned into a monumental task that sits on my to-do list for an entire week, despite being a 2 minute job to click upload, fill in the data and be done with it. It's complete insanity.

I can only imagine that it's all caught up with me:

  • burnout
  • mental health
  • personal drama
  • stress from the process of preparing to move out

And I'm well over it at this point.

The Plan!) I think what I'm going to do to get out of this funk I'm in, is to first do a Q&A video on the channel. That will buy me some time to get back on top of stuff a little bit and also get me on camera, being engaged in a product again. The biggest struggle I face is just having time to film. Currently I have to practically beg for a couple hours each week to try and get things done and it's so toxic and restrictive trying to operate that way, that it's ended me up at this current point. NUMBER ONE reason I'm moving out, so that things can just function.

Can't even have that luxury anymore, it's fucked.

The goal will be to get Superchargers just started writing, then I should naturally fall back into it a bit. If I can have this Skylanders stuff completed by early April, that would be nice.

---------------------------------- 

Closing Thoughts) I know I don't need to say sorry for the fucky schedule but I feel like I have to. It feels like I'm letting people down after all the time we've all put into this channel, not being able to do it at the level I know I can. Just please understand it's a rough patch right now and things will turn around this year. Thank you for your ongoing patience! 🙂

MAKE SURE TO DROP SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE PODCAST BELOW!!!

Until next time, thank you for reading and I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers!

We all get burned out at some point. Take it easy, Jak 👍🏻

AlleyKat_Sofia

Podcast question: When is the next top 10 series?

AlleyKat_Sofia

Podcast question: What is your favorite racing game?

Groke43

Question: Let’s say, the PS5 is going to launch with games like: A new Crash game or Horizon Zero Dawn 2. Would that be enough for you to get a PS5 on launch or even in the first year or release? Or anything that makes you consider getting a PS5 at all??

BullocksHerman

Do you think the spyro reignited trilogy should have never happened? I do

AlleyKat_Sofia

Podcast question: What is your top 2 most hated games and top 2 favorite games?

Moon Spirit

Well, you're dealing with a lot of shit, and that's life. Take it easy, Jak. Burnout, mental weariness, and planning to move out...that's a lot to take in.

SquareEyedJak

Cheers mate. It just shits me cause all I ever wanted to do was just work on videos and be productive. Take that away and I just turn into a mess 😅

AlleyKat_Sofia

Podcast question: After you move out?? What will your new game room look like?

BullocksHerman

@Square Eyed Jak Because there's hardly anything you can do with spyro to keep that series fresh.

Jake Ogden

Jak, university for me is a bit of a stress at minute trying to keep on top of work at the minute and I've only just started to do self-directed study. The best thing to do is maybe plan a schedule of how you are going to plan ahead each week what stuff you are planning to achieve and do it

Jake Ogden

If all else fails, either get youtube to support you and community of fans or go to a psychological therapist to improve your mental health. Question for the podcast: What is your opinion on the Corona Virus?

Ian McGarr

Question, with most of the factories in China closing due to the virus, a rumour is the new console will miss their launch windows, do you see this as a good thing? It means more time for games to be finished for the newer launch.

Ian McGarr

Question: As someone surrounded by a lot of toxic negativity it's sometimes hard to keep yourself from catching it, how do you keep positive and free from becoming negative yourself?

RadioTails

Podcast Questions: 1) If they ever make a new Crash Bandicoot game, would you prefer it to be setup in a linear style (original series), or go for a new style (Twinsanity/Titans)? 2) How do you feel about giving the games you review a score? Do you ever feel the way you score them should change, or abandon them completely? 3) Will you ever review Ratchet and... I mean "The Powerpuff Girls: Relish Rampage"? I know you have a copy. *wink*
