Victoria
8/3 UPDATE: WOW ... I had NO clue this would be so popular! This was a short notice, off the cuff, girl with a phone, walking around the studio showing all the hard work we have put in here... thanking you all... at a time production was not interrupted. I will schedule more tours with an advanced notice and perhaps work AJ recording one for you all. THANKS to all that popped on!!! I hear you - and thank you for the feedback!

So apparently I am an idiot who can't grasp the concept of Discord. Is that the only place I can see the tour?

2024-08-07 19:26:53 +0000 UTCit is like 5'11 according too Vic

2024-08-05 21:52:05 +0000 UTCIs that a Funko Pop figure of AJ and Hecklefish?? I love it!
Emilie
2024-08-05 16:13:01 +0000 UTCI live in the UK, I don't do discord(to much hassle). I would love it if yous did the AJ figurine that's above and put it in the store to buy. Always love the content you put out AJ and Team, keep up the awesome work.
Stevie Fisher
2024-08-04 13:17:37 +0000 UTCIt looks like a Hecklefish ice cream cone!
Valerie Brooks
2024-08-04 05:44:31 +0000 UTCI have better things to do than faff about with that platform. It's childish. I can't figure it out, and shouldn't have to just to watch a video.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-04 00:19:27 +0000 UTCI just assumed you could record them and then edit them out after the event if permission was not forthcoming. I don't know what the laws are in your State but where I live, they just come round and ask individual employers if they're OK with being recorded.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-04 00:17:28 +0000 UTC.. or mid NIGHT
Quanderhorn
2024-08-04 00:14:40 +0000 UTC160 people working at TWF ?! I had no idea it was that big !
Quanderhorn
2024-08-04 00:13:50 +0000 UTCCouldn't have put it better myself. Well,.maybe I could, but with about 10x the words. I took am disillusioned as to what amounts to discrimination against outsiders and the dependency on discord..I got discord /solely/ for TWF and I just can't get alonh with it.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-04 00:12:08 +0000 UTCAgree. There never has been any assumption on my part that anything TWF has to be live. To suddenly go from that to 'live and not recorded' was a huge shift for me
Quanderhorn
2024-08-04 00:08:05 +0000 UTCAgree. The lack of recording was a severe podio dental incursion for me. When I first saw that 'not recorded' I couldn't believe what I was reading, like the old days of DVDs only being available in certain regions.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-04 00:04:58 +0000 UTCThere's no need for advance notice. Do it only if you want to and when you want to. I realise now that it was a spontaneous thing. I am severely concerned now about all this drive for advance notice. I've just seen the YT comments section and they are all saying the same thing; there is no real reason for a predictable schedule. I honestly don't understand where this requirement for a fixed schedule comes from. I certainly have no right to expect /anything/ from you, ever. With other YT channels, I am still watching :new: stuff that is several years old. I do the same with TWF; I often don't know how old am episode is, and I don't care. It's there; it's great; I watch it. Then there's all these release announcements which keep getting put back. There is no compulsion on you to provide any content, let alone at a specific schedule. These constant announcements and re-announcements are going over my head but normally it doesn't matter.: just release stuff when it's ready.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-03 23:55:24 +0000 UTCIt was the way you just said 'this will not be recorded'. I would have loved a studio tour but I couldn't commit to staying up for it. It seems a bit odd for a phone these days not to be able to record. It sounded for all the world that you were touting it as a limited edition and that even paying Patreon members could either stay up or shut up. That's how it sounded to me. Now, I didn't become a Patreon just because I wanted more/longer/earlier content. I did it to support the channel. AJ had suggested 'behind the scenes' before and I just assumed this was one of them. To receive a Patreon announcement of it and be told it was live only caused me a sever e double take moment.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-03 23:44:35 +0000 UTCPatreon is a good enough platform as it is. As far as I can see, there's no point in adding discord into the mix; it's ridiculously complex and looks like a 12yo who has just sprayed glitter and random nonsense imagery all over their bedroom. I really don't want to have to navigate through all that and can't see why you don't just keep things simple and put the videos on Patreon. The whole live discussion thing on discord is lost on me due to time zone differences.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-03 23:34:47 +0000 UTCI am very disappointed. There are many members outside of the U.S. With no recording available, we would have to stay up until 2 a.m. to watch. I am not that young anymore.
BMC
2024-08-03 21:01:31 +0000 UTCThank you for everything you do. I don't mind if it was an impromptu moment that I was unable to catch. It was just a thought for the future. I'm sure there is a way to screen record a live that you do.
Brandy Cleveland
2024-08-03 18:17:56 +0000 UTCThank you Victoria. ❤️ Of course we would be interested, your loyal fans love everything Why Files!
Valerie Brooks
2024-08-03 17:56:06 +0000 UTCSooooo....when can I buy my own?
Greg R
2024-08-03 17:50:14 +0000 UTCThank you…. 🫶
Maryorie Wolf
2024-08-03 16:13:32 +0000 UTCAll I know and I'm not alone, Patreon members are now missing out on a lot and a lot of times the announcement/notification of an upcoming event is sometimes 30 min notice. I work 6 days a week and 12-14 hrs each of those 6 days and can't get on discord at all these random times. Thursdays around 7 or 8 was doable. Now I miss most of these things.
Ryan Downing
2024-08-03 15:50:16 +0000 UTCI get that. All I'm saying is record on a camera, phone, etc then upload. Not sure what production is necessary. Doesn't always have to be live.
Ryan Downing
2024-08-03 15:46:42 +0000 UTCSorry, my tone was lost in plain text. It was disappointment that I missed seeing the email in time -- not in the short notice itself.
Avery's Mom
2024-08-03 14:56:18 +0000 UTCAustin, really???? This was totally off the cuff ... I am a girl with a phone... no clue it would be so popular. I will take care of you guys .... your voices are heard... and when have I ever said too bad/so sad? Breaks my heart - I work HARD for Patrons......
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:42:41 +0000 UTCI will do another with advanced notice - this was off the cuff when I saw a good time to do it!
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:40:02 +0000 UTCTotally off the cuff and took advantage of a time when production would not be interrupted - will do a scheduled one on a better platform soon!
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:39:25 +0000 UTCI will do again with more advanced noticed... no clue this would be so popular!
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:37:47 +0000 UTCTotally off the cuff and will do again - no clue how popular this would be... no good deed goes unpunished ... I hear you guys!! And will work on recording - just a gal with a phone wanting to please you guys!
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:37:18 +0000 UTCRecording takes production - I am just a gal with a phone ... and was very impromptu. Had no clue this would be so popular.
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:35:43 +0000 UTCThis was off the cuff and I did not have permission to record... that would take some production.
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:34:59 +0000 UTCI will offer them again ... this was off the cuff and quick. I did not have permission to record a tour.
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:33:56 +0000 UTCHow about give me a platform you guys would come on?
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:30:37 +0000 UTCI had no clue this would be so popular ... it's hard to know when I can tour around and talk to you all and not disturb production work ... and I would have to ask permission to get recorded - I only got permission to show AJ's office before he went to take a shower and change clothes...so he was gone. I will talk to the team and see what AJ wants to do since this was so popular!
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:29:10 +0000 UTCHi there - I had no clue it would be so popular - on short notice there were 160 people! Will give advance notice on a good time - its hard to know when I won't be disturbing production work!
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:25:09 +0000 UTCI had NO CLUE it would be that popular!!! I had 160 on at super short notice .... I will absolutely do again!!! I took the opportunity of AJ going home to shower and Jen at a meeting so wasn't disturbing work... but yes!! I will schedule in advance! WOW... ;-) Victoria
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:24:07 +0000 UTCRIGHT??? Jen is thinking of painting it!!!!
The Why Files
2024-08-03 14:21:23 +0000 UTCShame they couldn't make the foil shiny
MrPdub247
2024-08-03 12:15:46 +0000 UTCI’m beginning the get the impression our voices will be ignored, and instead served w/ a dose of too bad, so sad — deal with it.
Austin D
2024-08-03 10:27:27 +0000 UTCBooo I missed it and I'm so sad. :( ... But that art piece is fabulous!
Melissa Morris Goss
2024-08-03 05:27:10 +0000 UTCI believe Victoria responded to my similar post stating it’s due to too many releases needed for being on camera & the level of intimacy. Unfortunately, this is not adequate for paying members who have life, health, and other commitments. There needs to be a compromise otherwise more will downgrade / discontinue their membership.
Austin D
2024-08-03 02:45:39 +0000 UTCWhy can’t you put up a tour video? AJ was just saying he wanted to do more for Patreon members. I think this video would classify as that. A lot of us don’t like Discord or have too many problems with it. Also we are not always available at short notice. It feels like if we don’t use Discord we’re left off the guest list. Please consider a tour video.
Valerie Brooks
2024-08-02 22:13:54 +0000 UTCVery cool. Sad I will have to miss it at that time. Are we certain we can't record? Congrats on the new editors! May they make life easier all around.
Oil_Slick_ET
2024-08-02 18:14:49 +0000 UTCAww 🥺 I missed it 😩. I would have LOvE to see the studio. I feel it was very short notice, but I’m sure it was amazing! Hey Why Files, can you please…🙏 do another tour? I feel a lot of us that missed it, would have the opportunity to join us?? What do you say 😉?
Maryorie Wolf
2024-08-02 16:28:15 +0000 UTCDarn it, also missed the tour. Previous engagements and all. This might make a good theme for a future AMA!
Jigsaw
2024-08-02 16:20:04 +0000 UTCI need it so bad
Damian Golladay
2024-08-02 14:39:59 +0000 UTCSo sad I missed this! 🥲
Miyo
2024-08-02 07:28:20 +0000 UTCI got the discord link expired
Leonard Rogan
2024-08-02 06:19:57 +0000 UTCPosted similar sentiment earlier: paying members should have a recording to watch at leisure.
Austin D
2024-08-02 05:27:15 +0000 UTCmissed it :( never even knew about it until now
Birdie the Cockatiel Randt
2024-08-02 05:25:05 +0000 UTCDamn I couldn’t make it due to work and I specifically asked you for this on Discord :( I second the notion of recording and posting for Patreons.
Onion.txo
2024-08-02 02:25:01 +0000 UTCYeah, I can get on Patreon and if they were taped we could watch them when we can.
Alyx
2024-08-02 02:24:20 +0000 UTCY'all need to start filming this stuff and posting it to Patreon for the members who can't just stop work mid day to watch on discord
Ryan Downing
2024-08-02 02:14:22 +0000 UTCI hate to repeat, but agree... I have not been able to catch a live session... not sure why recordings are not offered. Love your shows...
iNetSpy
2024-08-02 02:02:52 +0000 UTCLove you guys and all. But like others, have a lot going on. Been a trying two months so miss a lot of these live streams. Considering we are paying members, is it a huge lift to record these sessions? I would watch them all, just life gets in the way. Hate missing all these, especially since the AfterFiles has been few & far between. Thanks for the help & understanding, and keep up the great work!
Austin D
2024-08-02 01:36:03 +0000 UTCWhat! I missed it! Miss Victoria
Carlos Lamas
2024-08-02 01:25:05 +0000 UTCThat's really cool, I just hate I missed it. Been dealing with AC issues and I live in Florida so no AC doesn't work, lol!!

2024-08-02 01:22:56 +0000 UTCI can't believe it--I forgot about it! S@#$%^*!
Paul D Berkebile
2024-08-02 01:16:45 +0000 UTCI missed this but it was a cool impromptu idea! A bit funny how many people are upset because they can’t figure out discord. It’s a very popular platform for connecting. If you’re having trouble contact discord it isn’t Why Files fault y’all can’t figure yourself out. ;D https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-Getting-Discord-access
Pollunga
2024-08-02 00:51:52 +0000 UTCThat's put it a lot better than I could have. How about a more adult professional platform, TWF ?
Quanderhorn
2024-08-02 00:28:30 +0000 UTC@TRA It would appear so. I only joined it for TWF but can't get.even that to work. What's the reasoning behind TWF using it, rather than just using Patreon and/or YT ? D just looks like someone's had an acid trip in a glittery star factory. No substance to it, just fluff.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-02 00:26:16 +0000 UTCThank you for your support. Do you live in Midway?

KA
2024-08-02 00:02:18 +0000 UTCNo thanks discord is for gamers and tiktokers and little babies
Thomas R Andersen
2024-08-02 00:02:11 +0000 UTCI hardly ever get in. today it wouldnt let me. Had me verify my email then still didnt work, then tried to sign out and in again but didnt work. I know my sign in info so it is right.
WildSky818
2024-08-01 23:56:55 +0000 UTCSame. I don't remember ever giving a email and password to Patreon or discord but it seems to know who I am. Someone tell me how to do this.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-01 23:54:55 +0000 UTCSomeone tell me how to use discord. This is getting absurd. I browsed to the link given and clicked 'accept invite'. It then forced me to download the discord app. I do this. It says 'welcome back'. Then I can't login. I know I have to use the same email (but same as what ?) Same as patreon ? I don't remember ever giving an email address to Patreon but it seems to have a Gmail address that I never use. I try to do the forgotten password thing for a password that I don't remember setting up. Then it says my email address doesn't exist. I'm told I can get.help on discord in 5s but that's no good if one can't get onto discord on the first place.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-01 23:53:03 +0000 UTCDoes anybody actually manage to work discord ? All I manage to get is .. well I don't know. It seems purposely designed to confuse. Please just use P if its just a video. I am not up for live discussion.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-01 23:38:17 +0000 UTCSame. Discord is a nightmare if one just wants to watch something. Partaking in a live discussion is not my thing. I really just want to watch stuff and maybe comment on it after the event, particularly as I'm around 9 hours E of you. It's 00:41 on Friday 2024-08-02 as I type this.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-01 23:35:35 +0000 UTCSame with me. Just got the email.and had to begin the long trek of working out whether it was something that had already happened or not
Quanderhorn
2024-08-01 23:34:37 +0000 UTCIs it not automatically available as a replay ? I just assumed that it was and that I was too stupid to find it. I can't get along with discord so I've given up on it. I'd be happy to stay up.and watch it live but it's very difficult to work out which day.these announcements refer to.
Quanderhorn
2024-08-01 23:33:31 +0000 UTCAny chance.of actually giving the DATE or at least the DAY. Just saying 3pm Pacific Time is unhelpful. I don't expect you to render it in all possible time zones, but at least let us in distant time zones know whether it's 'tomorrow' or 'happened whilst we were sleep'
Quanderhorn
2024-08-01 23:30:44 +0000 UTCCool , now make one with Lord Hecklefish has AJ in. Bowl ….please :1
Julio Cruz
2024-08-01 23:25:49 +0000 UTCIs there any way to watch it as a replay?
Brandy Cleveland
2024-08-01 23:18:06 +0000 UTCI know what my password is, yet when I tried to log in through my TVs web browser, it told me it was wrong over and over. At least we got to watch it on my phone, huddled together like a couple of kids 🤭
