Bad News, Good News! (Blog) (Patreon)

G'day bandicunts, hope your week is going well. I'd like to quickly mention something I believe has been mentioned already but if it hasn't, I'm so sorry...
Weekly blogs have been inconsistent so far in 2021 due to a few factors, mostly just life being hectic and me not having a lot of time to work on projects. But also simply not having a lot to really update you guys about. I promise once things are back into a more normal routine hopefully soon, that I'll do a better job informing all you guys of the current going on's.

LAST CALL for April Podcast questions and topics! Got a lot on my plate currently as you're about to learn so I'm gonna try really hard to get this up in time for next week, before shit REALLY hits the fan. So don't delay!

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

Life is FUUUNNN) So I've been juggling a lot of things lately. As you probably all know by now, I've had medical dramas with someone close to me back in February. My mental health despite being a rollercoaster is still despite that... doing pretty well for a change. Like I'm regularly feeling good even though I've been facing more extreme mental swings myself??? It's fucking weird guys, hard to explain without the gruesome details but I'm good and healthy, put it that way. Trying to manage all of this AND run the channel efficiently has been difficult and when I finally get content out, it drastically underperforms where I need it to be. Getting sick of it, not gonna lie. But on top of ALL OF THAT...

Landlords Can Take a Bullet) I'm basically taking it in both ends when it comes to my housing situation. The apartment where I've been for 12 months now, my lease expires on the 7th of April and I'm having no luck getting a new place to live. Every application I put in, every house I inspect, it all gets rejected. Despite financial security, backup gaurutors listed to meet bullshit insurance percentages, an excellent record and references and even a second person living in the house with me... I can't get anything. Even KNOWING a family friend who was breaking a lease and having them put me through directly STILL DIDN'T HELP! So I'm really at a loss right now. I've got 2 more weeks to try and find something so it's my primary focus every single day. But it's taking its toll on my brain no question.

In the event that I find something: AWESOME! I'll be packed up and moved within a few days and be back up and running again!

In the event that I CAN'T find something: Well I hate to say it... but everything will stop. Realistically I need space to work and so all YouTube stuff will be put on hold indefinitely until I'm able to secure a new place. If it comes to that and I'm left with no other choice... the Patreon will be PAUSED until I'm able to make content regularly again! I will keep you all updated on that in April when I know for sure!

The GOOD NEWS) Production on the next Every Level Ranked is going VERY WELL! All 188 levels have been ranked and I'm now going through the lengthy process of writing the script which will be happening over the course of this next week. THE GOAL: Have it fully written by the 31st of March! This would give me time to film the video BEFORE MOVING and allow me to edit it from someone's couch if the worst case scenario becomes a reality.
Come hell or high water, I'm doing everything I can to get the ELR up in April as planned and I'm starting to get close despite the sky falling around me. AFTER THAT we can make a judgement call on pausing the Patreon if needed, in the event I can no longer film or work on videos.

Crash on the Run) The latest Crash title dropped on mobile TODAY which is rad. I've only played the intro but I will be putting some time into each day during my down time to have a fiddle and take notes, for an eventual review. This video should in theory, be possible to work while moving and even if I get stuck on someone's couch. Just thought I'd mention that just as another episode you can look forward to seeing very soon, though I'm in no rush to smash the video out week one. I'd much prefer to spend a little extra time with the game for a change.

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

Closing Thoughts) I know that was a lot to unpack so here is the tl;dr:

• Moving house is a bitch
• Every Level Ranked on the way
• If content stops, so will Patreon until videos are back
• Despite it all, I'm getting through pretty ok

ALSO REMEMBER: Please drop some questions and topics below for the April Podcast! And until next time everyone, thanks for your ongoing support and I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers! 😄
