Obligatory Reminder!
🕑 Added 2020-04-30 16:16:16 +0000 UTCGuys, its the end of the month. If you got big bills coming up, got laid off, or want to put it toward self-betterment/other projects/other creators - please, now is the time to drop the subscription before you're charged. A lot of other content creators have been fairly shit at this recently and I've been shown where some switched 'per video' from 'per month' in order to ring out some more dosh during these trying times. As per usual, I'm the guy who's going to tell you anything you give is going to be wasted on stupid/silly projects and possibly ammunition. Now's the time to drop ship, jump ship, save money, and reinvest in personal whiskey disposable futures.
That being said, here's what we got:
1. We're working on commercials for Tex Talks Battletech. Then after that we do ONE MORE PASS on all the final polish and she's done. We're contemplating dropping it on May 20, to celebrate May 20, 3052 #REMEMBERTUKAYYID. This will make the Clanners maximum angry.
It's amazing to think that since last year, we've made huge documentaries since last May. The Amaris Civil War Part 1 and 2, The catapult, The Tripitz Affair, The Blackjack, and now the Clans (exodus to elementals) part 1 and 2. I realize a lot of much larger studios will take 3-4 months to make one video. Hell, Some documentarians require millions of dollars and years to make one. We're flying by the seat of our pants and we can move pretty damn fast. I think it's because we're crazy. But its also because of viewers like you who keep supporting, and I don't mean just financially supporting. Some of the kindest notes and words have been shared when I'm feeling low, and that sustains me.
2. I have a fuckload of footage I'm going to put out on the channel between now, and when the crazy times subside. A lot of folks have been looking for shit to do or want to try youtube and see if they have the chops and they've donated enormous stockpiles of footage, playthroughs, and fun. I'm going to give them my spotlight for a bit and see how they dance. Don't be afraid to give them feedback, I want these folks to be happy as creators . Some of them are planning on branching out and creating on their own - so lets give em a good stage and see what they can do! We're all in this together afterall.
3. Post Lockdown Stuff... I will return to the normal (Sane) content creation level. I won't be pushing stuff out as fast or regularly, and I won't be driving myself to the point of destruction. You may get 2 things a week, which I feel is acceptable, plus Tex Talks Battletech when we can. Those tend to take longer.
4. Order for Tex Talks Battletech (I'm thinking - based off your guys feedback)
This Clan one (wrapping it up as said above)
Then the Mackie (The Original Mech)
Then the Rifleman
Then I think a primer on a merc unit, or a house. The house one will have to probably be huge and in multiple parts. In between those I may opt for shorter episodes just to not die. After that, I'll start working through my list.
Anyways, stay safe out there folks. Times are fucky

“Sir, shall we proceed as proposed ?” “On the contrary, Sergeant - instead of cancelling support, we shall increase it.” “Sir ?” “It’s the last thing they would expect.” “Aye, sir !”

Thank you for considering a major house Tex. I appreciate it despite me acting the ass. I have stated my thoughts so I won'r again, but did want to say thanks again for the content. I am looking forward to the ending of the clans, on May 20th.... again

It also helps me zone out a bit with all the crazy going on. Plus I've rewatched the Battletech stuff ....... 4...5....IDFK how many times now.
Chris Lewis the Pretzelbear
I can respect that.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
It is an amazing story. There are more.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
It is your choice, I respect it either way.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
Thank you sir.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
You're most welcome. We're working on a lot of stuff and trying to figure out a way to deliver things at a reasonable pace. That we've done so much is probably because of our sheer mad work ethic.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
Thank you sir. Now is a time for giving, so I shall do so happily
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
I will look after my health in due time. Right now though is a time I should give and be giving. I wont stop that.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
Thank you sir
Even with no job I can pledge that... It's worth it... 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you Tex, but I'm keeping my pledge. It's worth it to me, even if it's just cheeseburger money (my gov't got me well covered). Looking forward to the new videos
I'd say I'll probably burn in hell for not being charitable enough, if I didn't know there are going to be way worse things on my rap sheet before I get off this stinking rock 😆

Same, but I sent some to a disabled immunocompromized US aquaintance I encountered on the RT discord instead.

Thank you Tex and the BPL! I'm glad I found this ability to donate. I have been enjoying your creations for a few months and I'm very happy to help you make more!! DIGS with HANDS, best name origin ever!!!

Damn right!!!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! (That's my personal opinion.)
Scribe Grey
I'm no fucko, I've paid my bills! But I'll keep giving you monies! Your stuff is far to fun to watch and listen too!
As far as order goes - I think it would actually do good for both pacing of episode releases and your sanity to sandwich small topics in between of big topics. Could be even related, like (totally an example, not a suggestion to do Kuritan videos!): "Worthless Kuritans part 1" then "Dragon - why this exists?!" and then "Godless Kuritans part 2: they really are the worst". You know, something like that. I imagine during research of such huge topics like the Clanners Primer - there is a lot of lore unearthed that could be self-contained and would fit a smaller episode as a break between parts. On a side note: lockdown content.. oof! There is A LOT, big thanks to all creators from BPL.
As someone who flatout refuses to fight only a single Faction Play match on Clanner side I totally support your fight and even just upped the ante 😉 This is high quality stuff you are delivering and worth every penny 😊👍 Keep it up
Got to be honest, the mere mention of ammunition makes me want to send extra money your way 😆

Tex,I know you don't know me from Adam, and all that jazz. And no,ido not worship the ground you walk on,or any of that jazz,but the level of compassion you have for we crazies who enjoy your content,makes me respect the hell out of you. Stay well, and keep your health first and foremost!
Jiri Wildbret
I did actually get laid off and fuck no I’m not canceling my Patreon. That spot in the “people who give me money for no reason” list is one of the few validations I get and I ain’t giving that up

Times are fucky and this is the content I like. Worth it.

Er... Urbie IIC? 😁
Rob Newcity
I just want to say thank you, Tex. The way you put these messages out and let everyone know before the bill hits, it truly is very thoughtful of you. Its shows that you care more about your community than you do their money. You are a stellar content creator, and take great care of your community. I salute you, sir!

House Steiner video with occasional commentary from the scout squad. Or perhaps a second version of it where they do what is effectively directors commentary.
