December 2022 Update
🕑 Added 2022-12-31 23:22:28 +0000 UTCHello, friends.
I hope you've had happy holidays.
I put out the last batch of Arby 'n' the Chief season five commentaries earlier this month but I don't have a new primary, public upload for you yet.
I've been a bit lazy.
I wanted a break after the Arby finale, and to use the holiday weeks to relax, play games and watch movies, get some inspiration for new projects and think.
However, I've spent time writing throughout, as I do every day in some capacity because it's fun.
I'm almost done an outline for a Mediabyss episode likely consisting of multiple parts ("tapes"), like the Halo TV series episode, covering the production of Arby from the first season to the eighth.
I started recording the episode earlier based off a rougher outline draft in hopes of uploading it this month but the talk was a mess and full of stalling, the outline still needs work for a better flow through the stupid way my brain works.
I keep thinking of new talking points too as Arby's production is a long window of time, and I want to throw more jokes in.
I've conceived and written outlines and dialogue for a number of new shorts, both live action and Arby 'n' the Chief.
One of the latter is a mockery of the idea of rebooting Arby 'n' the Chief now that season eight's over, featuring unique music and a Skyler Loveheart reappearance, but the script needs more work.
Last night, after at least sixteen re-writes over at least half a year, I finished what I currently consider a finalized outline of scenes with point-form details for an entire season of a Hard Justice soft reboot.
I'm now filling the scenes out with specific shots and dialogue.
My next upload may be my Mediabyss episode on Arby or a concept sequence for Hard Justice, I'm not sure yet.
I'm currently jumping between development of these two main projects, among others, as I often do to fight procrastination and tunnel vision and have fun with what I'm writing, which I believe improves the work across the board.
I'm going to let the Patreon charges go through for this month.
I hope that's alright with you.
I've heard from numerous subscribers and people close to me that I've paused my income too often in the past.
Sometimes, even if I work the whole month, it takes longer than that to pull a video of my type together due to its scale, or that of the overall series or season plan, other work, or other reasons.
In any case, I've felt bad about it, but I want to be a bit fairer to myself going forward.
I'll always aim to offer both a primary upload and bonus material each month, but if I have neither at a month's end, or two months go by without a primary upload from me, I'll pause my Patreon income.
It's not clear to me how to or if I can pause income via SubscribeStar or YouTube memberships, so if you're supporting me financially, be mindful of the method you use.
Give me another week or two and I should have something cool to show you.
The first batch of commentaries for Arby's sixth season will come next month.
Thank you all so much as always for your generous contributions, and feel free to cancel at any time.
I wish you all a happy new year!
