January Update: Mulligan

Lunar

Being sick is a normal part of being human. I've never viewed subscribing to your patreon as buying a new video every month. I'm glad to support you even in your downtimes. Thanks for sharing and I do hope you have enough people around you to give a hand when your sick.

Seconding (thirding, twenty-fourthing) other comments here - I would feel terrible if you felt pressure from your patrons to work despite being sick. Take care of your self, it's the only one you have.

Let's all try to stop thinking about ourselves and at our time on this rock in production terms. If I know that my money goes toward someone's well being, particularly someone that is attempting to make somewhat of a difference, then that money is well spent. Already you addressing us as a team, despite the fact that our actual practical effort is infinitesimal compared to the hours of work (and stress) required to produce stuff, is enough for me to chip in every month. I do understand your desire for fairness and equity, but life ain't fair, particularly the economics of it.

Good with me, ego te absolvo. A suggestion on the videos: don't try to pack too much in them. The makers of these type of videos seem to tend to make longer and longer and longer videos. The last one of the alt-right playbook is over 40 minutes. Shaun recently made a 2 and a half hour video. Not to say that they are bad videos, but it takes real effort to watch all at once. Plus, it is difficult to keep all of it in memory and to process it later, since it gets overlaid by new concepts. With longer videos I often find myself going back to check out what was said so I can think about it. In series like the alt-right playbook you get a bite-sized chunk of information, and you can pause, process and contemplate it before moving on to the next one. Plus, I can pick out videos that handle ONE aspect or phenomenon and send the link to someone I'm talking to, to illustrate the point I'm making using your excellent presentation. You already have a great concept in action in your series of videos, so don't let it go to waste. Brevity is a virtue.

Take all the time you need, your health should come first

And it's the morning, so I'd literally forgotten about be first "take all the time you need" by the time I got to the next sentence.

Boo to January for all the shittiness it brought, yay for new PC, and of course you should take all the time you need to recuperate. Take all the time you need ❤️❤️❤️

Glad we could help :) I for one recognise that there's a human on the other end of this, so don't feel like you have to rush. Rushed work is rough work, as I'm sure you know.

Sick Four different times? That's intense. I hope you've gotten better and murdered all the infections. I'm excited about your new upcoming video and other future creations. Hooray for 2020!

You've changed me fundamentally for the better, take all the time you need. God damnit I'm 2 years older than one of my personal heroes, respecting people makes them feel older.

Eli Bosnick gets to change his patron name because patreon gave up on his blog too

1. You don’t owe me videos. Take all the time you need 2. Do a gofundme for your new computer. Some of us might wanna chip in 3. Does the slimepit attack count as one of the illnesses? Cause I think it should

New Year starts when we define it, I hope that 2020 mkII is more kind to you. Best wishes for the coming year, we look forward to your content when it comes. On a sustainable schedule

of course you get amnesty for being sick, that's just basic human decency!

matt

it's all good, I'll give you a month of amnesty for your birthday. 😉
