August Progress Report!

Hello hello! I posted a really weird video this month! I said I would in July's Progress Report and I did it! Hooray!

WHAT'S UP ON PATREON?

Got a good chunk of Patreon posts this month!

WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?

Mostly making that really weird video! (The song is now on Spotify, just in case you need it.) I had such a fun time making both the video and my weird little boy (you can see a nice, unsettling, eyeless pic of the creation process above, and a full video of making him in THE MAKING OF). It's nice to get silly with it. And now my son just hangs out next to my skeleton. Two of my sweet boys:

Outside of the video, I've started doing my morning exercise streams again! I'm finally a little less busy, and it's been nice to hop back into the exercise routine (and have an excuse to play more Armored Core).

(As a heads up, I'm gonna be doing a very long stream next Wednesday, Sept. 6, to play a bunch of Starfield! I'll be streaming during a normal time of day! How novel!)

I also appeared on an episode of Sad Boyz with Jarvis and Jordan. I had a super great time with them, and you should check it out! They're great people.

WHAT AM I UP TO NEXT?

I've got good and bad news. The good news is that I've been having a ton of video ideas lately. The bad news is that I have a ton of video ideas and can't figure out what to focus on. My codename list from last Progress Report has now become:

- d̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ r̶a̶c̶c̶o̶o̶n̶ (just posted this video, the codename probably makes more sense now)
- embroidered menace
- chaka khan
- new goblins
- livestreamed variety show
- another cooking video with Jeremy as editor
- autobiographical internet existence doc???
- some more sincere/less silly music

On top of these, I'm still picking away at my horror script, but I keep hitting snags left and right. I'm gonna keep working at it, because I think it's worth it!

I'm also gonna be ramping up production on some Dropout stuff, since they're not affected by the SAG-AFTRA strike! And speaking of SAG, a few of my larger voice roles will be coming out in the very near future! I'm still allowed to promote them during the strike, because they're part of projects in the Non Struck Work categories, which can be a little confusing. On the one hand, it can feel like it minimizes the work on those projects, but on the other hand, it's great to promote the projects that are doing everything to SAG standards! Either way, it's an odd time for them to be released. But I'm excited nonetheless.

(Also the Tom Cardy collab still exists and will come out and just hang on for a second we're doing stuff but it'll be out by the end of the year at the very latest.)

WHAT ELSE HAVE I BEEN DOING?

Armored Core. Lots of Armored Core. And probably some Baldur's Gate this weekend because it's out for PS5 and Karen and I can play couch co-op. And then it's Starfield? And I just beat Dave the Diver? And Pikmin 4? Good lord there are too many good games this year. Jeez Louise. Cool it down a little please.

I've also been making a lot more pottery! Please enjoy this teapot that I was super excited about throwing off the hump, which is a dirty sounding phrase but I PROMISE is a normal pottery term. Unfortunately, I didn't end up compressing the base well enough so it got an enormous crack at the bottom. Oh well. I guess it's time for it to become a succulent planter. Or maybe I'll just turn it into a little weird Polteageist figure:

OKAY THAT'S IT FOR NOW

Have a great September! If you're in school, I hope your new year is starting well! If you're not in school, enjoy not having to go to school anymore! Sometimes, it's good to look at people doing homework and think, "Wow, how nice it is that I don't have to think about Calculus anymore."
