Good afternoon!
So I didn't want to say anything until it was a done deal, but I'm moving out of my apartment. It's been a long hunt to get to this point, especially with the neighbors getting louder and weirder to the point it was interfering with my recording times, but I got a place that will be significantly quieter since it's a house with some seclusion. I'm also going to be out of the country in London for a week for my other job, so when I get back I'll be getting the move finalized. It's possible the new video will come before the end of the month, but if not with everything happening it'll be early September. My hope was that things would be coming out a lot more rapidly in the middle of the year, and this was just part of one ongoing thing that had been eating up a lot of time, but when this is all done I think I'll be able to work on videos a lot more efficiently not needing to time it to mainly night hours and dealing with screaming kids etc.
So as for the poll, that'll likely be next round, since I'm pretty solidified on the next video and it'll be the one after that's going to be a question, especially since it's going to get closer to Halloween and I'll need to get started on all that fun. So if things seem quieter on the public (or Patreon?) front over the next month or so, it's not that nothing's going on, I'm just going to be fairly swamped. For reference the place I got was at a significant discount due to it being a "project", including some things like non-grounded gas lines, missing smoke and CO2 detectors, some wood rot, mysterious unidentified goo in unfinished basement walls etc, so a lot is being done before I get into it to make it more livable, but it'll be pretty nice when all is said and done. There was a lot putting off people from buying the house which ended up being appealing to me, including lots of strange geometry and a missing initial owner, so it's a bit of a story in itself. A lot was installed by what appear to be aliens in a "this is how human fixtures work" kind of way, and every day has been new surprises, but nothing too crazy.
Though obviously what matters most here is that I'll be able to have a recording space not directly above what I suspect has been a neighborhood drum circle for a few years.
So the next video is on the way, and things should pick up for the end of the year.
Thanks as always for your support!
