Important news! There's been a lot going on, but I'm back!
🕑 Added 2023-03-15 19:19:56 +0000 UTCy beloved, amazing, friends how are you? It's been soo sooooo long!!!!
I am of course sorry for the lack of news. But let me explain the reasons that took me away the last couple of months,
First of... I was very burned out. Job, life, shit country, all serious problems.
I really needed a month or so doing nothing but travelling and relaxing. So I took an extra couple of weeks from mid January to mid February (when it's summer here) to completely disconnect. It was worth it.
Second... For the past 5 weeks, there's been a lot of SERIOUS energy shortages here. It has happened before (this is what you get with populism: cheap subsidized energy bills - but no energy). IT IS A DESPERATE SITUATION. the energy cuts happen almost daily, and in some cases, up to 4 days without energy supply!
Naturally, I can't work wothout power and I also can't risk having a shutdown or energy supply spikes during rendering and ruining my GPU. It is also very hard to buy a new GPUI here, again, because of populism and excesive imports limitations due to "local industry protection" (it means buy shitty local stuff twice as expensive).
Not even captions are safe, since the energy has already gone while I was working on captions, making me lose progress and again, putting my beloved PC at risk.
But as always, I have something ready. It's not much, just a small mini series, but it's a lot considering the situation and that most of thw times, everything is lost as energy goes away. It'll be a series of animated captions, and it's be called:
See you this weekend! And obviously,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND THE WAITING. I know it's been a lot of time to be away, but I needed it.

Its not the first time you had to delay stuff but you always shot its worth the wait. So i will gladly wait longer. I hope things turn out better for you.

Thanks so much, your words are so very kind and understanding! There's so much going on that I couldn't sit and creste anything, and I find myself mostly going to sleep early day after day without knowing why before I decided to stop for a couple of weeks. Thankfully several days of rain are coming so that should lower the energy demand - Imagine that I pay around 3 dollars a month for the electricity on a mid sized apartment, no wonder t's not working!

Glad to see that you are back my friend. As someone who know how the problems feel you've talked about I can say: Take the time you need. Populism is something so many countrys suffer in this times, here in Germany we have a lot of populism too. Also is the situation everything...but not really helpfull nor great for the people. THe problem is that such loud liars find always to much people who listen, belive and vote. Energy is also one of the top problems. We do not have energy cuts, but the prizes Quadrupled (or more) in just 12 months... Burn outs are very heavy. Not only we Artists have massive problems with it, so many people ignore the risks (including myself). So it is good that you are aware of them and took the time - something I should learn too...
