G’day everyone I hope you’re all well.

Hate to have more bad news for you but videos are going to be on hold for the foreseeable future. My living situation just peaked out and I’m officially couch surfing.

In August of last year, I left a really toxic home life and my only option was to sleep on my mothers couch… the problem with that is it’s in an Over 50’s ONLY accomodation. We had clearance from the manager for a mercy period while I tried to find somewhere else to live. Unfortunately that ended last week and the housing market where I am is just impossible. I heard in the news we’ve had the 4th highest price increase IN THE WORLD for housing which is fucking disgusting.

Right now I’m waiting in a bus terminal to go stay with my partner, who is also in the shit. He’s been couch surfing with family too which just isn’t ideal either and our mental health is in the shits. Affordability isn’t even the problem which I’m so thankful for, but property managers just don’t understand my income with YouTube and Patreon, so they get scared and won’t rent to us. Combine that with the competition given the market is so desperate here… we’re out of options.

So the plan: catch our breath for a week and then we’ll be going on a little interstate holiday/house hunt in another state where our chances seem much better at securing a full time residence.

I’m sorry the last 12-18 months have been a total fuckup but hopefully it’s not too long before you see the next video. During this time I will still be trying to write scripts and prepare content. Editing is impossible without a semi-stable accomodation to setup my PC though unfortunately. However in the meantime, the best way to continue supporting me is just REWATCH your favourite episodes! Go through all the old classics, deep dive game testing and hit me up on social media to show me what you’re watching! That’d make my day knowing people are still watching! 😊

Just wanna end off by saying thanks to everyone who is pledged here on Patreon. I’ll still do my best fulfill rewards during this time. And a massive thankyou to everyone for watching and supporting the channel. I love and appreciate every single one of you and I promise that once I’ve got a roof over my head again, that I’ll make the wait worth it!

Cheers everyone and I hope you all have a great fucking day! ❤️

Take as much time as you need to get to a better place! sending all my support to you Jak and your partner!! I've been supporting you for years and I'll never stop :D

Really wishing the both of you get stable footing soon. Not having a place to stay and the feeling of displacement does take its toll on us, I’ve been there. Best advice I can give is to keep at it like you have been! Life sucks when it throws us bullshit like this but I have no doubt you’ll both make it through the other side during these rough times stronger than before. I’m rooting for the both of you!

I'm really sorry about the unessisary shit you're going through Jak. Best advise I can give you at the moment is maybe start a livestream now and again. I can't think of better ways to help you on that one mate.
