(March Voting Time!) Feeling Great (Patreon)

Man, the reception to that last video has been crazy. I knew I felt good about it while I was making it, but to see people respond so well to it was truly heartwarming. After all these years I still feel like I'm improving, I somehow still feel like I'm only just beginning to explore my full creative potential and it's such an invigorating feeling you wouldn't believe. On top of that, the growing support here on Patreon excites me to no end. Truly, thank you all very much.

With that growing support I've also come to think about the way I go about my mini reviews more and more. I feel like I'm doing you all a disservice by spending so little time on them, not to mention the levels themselves. On multiple occasions now I've come up with something I wish I'd said in the videos themselves, if only I had given them a little more time. At first I didn't want my Mini Reviews to interfere with my regular uploads, but I think that's the wrong approach in hindsight. I should take the time to consider the levels more seriously, write a proper script, and give them the moment in the spotlight they deserve. My mini reviews are by far not my most popular videos, and I'm unsure if that's because they're simply not up to standard, or if it's because the format doesn't lend itself well to YouTube to begin with, but I'm determined to find out which is the case.

If they continue to perform poorly after that, I may have to rethink the way I go about the Patreon rewards. Right now I'm thinking about just including the mini review at the end of the video for that month, but that leaves me in an awkward spot if the video simply isn't ready yet. It's also liable to create huge tonal whiplash in the video itself and introduce pacing issues. I don't know, I suppose we'll see.

In any case, feel free to vote for whatever level you wish me to review next in the comments, as always! In a week's time I'll tally up all the votes and spin the wheel.
