February Video Update
🕑 Added 2018-02-28 22:29:03 +0000 UTCHey all!
So just a update on the next episode: despite my best efforts it looks like it's gonna miss the cutoff for February (curse you, arbitrarily shortest month!). That's the bad news.
The good news is it's only gonna miss the cutoff by a few days. I already have plenty-o-footage captured and a script and I just need to put the whole shebang together! We're in the editing process now! So February's episode will still be up soon! Just... not in February.
However, I know this Patreon thing is weird. Some people are on here just to support the show in general, and some people expect product if they're going to be paying (both of which are totally fair points of view!). Crowdfunding is weird and the whole thing makes me uncomfortable. ANYWAYS. I had some discussions with some of the Patrons in Discord (speaking of which, if you're bored come and claim your fancy gold username and access to the Golden Discord Palace Discord channel at https://discord.gg/v24cnr5 !) and the decision we reached on how to deal with this is that I won't cancel the month outright (since content is still coming!), but I'll give refunds to anyone who is upset that I'm gonna miss the February deadline. That way it isn't an all-or-nothing screwup on my part, but it also allows anyone frustrated by the delay a way to be compensated (and I totally won't be offended if you ask - I absolutely get it).
So, TLDR:
- February's episode will be up in a few days but won't technically make the deadline for February. You'll still get a March episode too, and since that's a REAL month with a proper monthly number of days I feel comfortable it'll be on time.
- If this bugs anyone enough to want a refund, let me know and I'll take corrective action ASAP, no questions asked, absolutely get why you'd want it.
Thanks all! Sorry again for the brief delay! See you with a video soon!

Chris, that's a fair offer and I appreciate the gesture. That said, I want you to take my money. I think you have deserved it already by many insightful video essays in the past. I wish there was a way to fund content creators like you without the implicit pressure to create content on a schedule. I believe the most fruitful essays are born only when they are given sufficient time to hatch.

I'll take quality over an arbitrary deadline any day. I'm not asking for a count of demands for refunds or anything in detail, but, if the demand for refunds is significant, I pledge additional one-time patronage (meaning, $$$) to help make up the shortfall. I would not be surprised if there are others in the "just to support the show" group who would be willing to do the same.
