Progress Report (AND A THANK YOU GIFT)
Added 2021-12-13 22:37:34 +0000 UTCHey y'all, let's start with the fun thing:
I've been working with DFTBA on my merch stuff, and I wanted to make something special for you all as a little thank you for supporting me as an independent creator for a whole year. It's a little caterpillar ouroboros pin—a reminder that we all can do things that caterpillars cannot. There's no deeper meaning. It's not a metaphor.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS PIN, PLEASE FILL OUT THIS GOOGLE FORM BY THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17TH, AT 1:00 PM PST. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS LINK OR SUBMIT MORE THAN ONE RESPONSE OR ELSE I WILL GO BANKRUPT.
(This info will only be used by DFTBA to send the pins out to you! As someone who is always on edge about his personal info leaking, I totally get it if you would rather not get the pin, which is why I wanted to make sure you had the choice of not receiving it!)
UPDATE: The form is now closed and I've sent the info along to DFTBA to start making the pins and shipping them out! If you submitted your info, you should get a pin in early 2022!
--------
Okay, progress report time. The images at the top are from my newest baking video, which should be out next week. Except, it's not really a baking video.
It's a video about video games.
I've finally broken my "don't make video game videos" rule on my own channel. It only took me a year. I just wanted to talk about my games of the year in a silly way. So that's what this video is about! It should be out next week!
The next videos (probably for January and February) are both songs. One is the Pumpkin Cowboy I mentioned before, which is getting a SEVERE punch up from the wonderful Jonah Scott. The other is with the ineffable Louie Zong (which he mentioned here already). I don't have much more I can share about either because I have to edit SO VERY MUCH of this GOTY video that I can't think of anything else.
--------
I'm gonna be doing some Patreon housekeeping next week after the video goes live. I'll make some 2021 archive posts for each tier of this Patreon so that way there's an easy way to find any specific post I've made this year.
I'll probably make a sappy anniversary thank you post on the 28th as well. I'll send you a pin as a thank you and then I'll write a bunch of thank you words and YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU AND NOW I AM GOING TO GO BACK TO WORK ON THIS GOTY VIDEO BEFORE I FURIOUSLY START MY THANK YOU NOTE A FEW WEEKS TOO EARLY.

2022-02-02 22:21:59 +0000 UTCPopping in here, on the narrow chance that it helps anyone: if you filled out this form but haven’t seemingly gotten an email about it from DFTBA, please check your spam folder! I managed to miss mine for 4 days for that exact reason! Hope that helps anyone, and thanks again Brian for such a wonderful gift!

2022-01-31 17:48:17 +0000 UTCCrud. I just realized a minute ago... I think I forgot to finish the form and send it in. ADHD brain strikes again! >_< But, thank you for doing this for the community nonetheless. You're wonderful, your content is wonderful, and even though I was only able to join the Patreon more recently, I've been a huge fan for a long while and can't wait to see more of what you'll do in all the years to come. Thank you for everything. ❤️ (Love and thanks to Karen, too!)

2021-12-17 03:41:34 +0000 UTCYou’re already supporting by being a patron! This is just a little gift to say thanks!
Brian David Gilbert
2021-12-16 20:20:05 +0000 UTCHelping to enable this premium insanity is it’s own reward, but I will gratefully and excitedly accept this cute lil caterpillar guy into my heart, thank you. If I could also draw everyone’s attention to the adorable cat sponge beside the sink then that would be great because I’m screaming and need everyone to share my joy.

2021-12-16 14:50:25 +0000 UTCThis is definitely my favorite Patreon, I will cherish it forever.

2021-12-16 06:01:04 +0000 UTCSo happy to be one of your patreons, even though it's not much and I started pretty late. You helped me deal with some serious shit by making me laugh, and think (not metaphorically tho), and discovering new games, and improving my english. Hope this caterpillar will find its way to France, either way thank you so much for your content and the joy you give us !!

Ritt!
2021-12-13 23:06:19 +0000 UTCThat pin is adorable (the gamer instinct in me want to hit the gold segment with a sword).
Aimelle
2021-12-13 22:59:46 +0000 UTCThose pins are so cooool!!! BTW: Lot of creators use Patreon directly to get people's addresses for these sort of things, I believe there is a thing for that... just so you don't have to worry about people leaking the URL or lying about Patreon tiers.

2021-12-13 22:42:51 +0000 UTCI have, against any sense of good internet security, filled out the form. I am keen to have this little caterpillar pin join the Broccoli Girl I got given by the Kraken Academy team, and am placing a lot of trust in you not to sell off my Details, to Companies. (That last part is tongue in cheek, but still)
Well-Spoken Rambler
2021-12-13 22:42:28 +0000 UTC;o; i can't believe it's been a year. what an unambiguously good time and a benefit to my state of mind. i'm so glad you did this!

2021-12-13 22:41:54 +0000 UTCA huge congrats to you, BDG! You’re a treasure & I’m so glad you’ve received the support you deserve over the last year :)

2021-12-13 22:41:31 +0000 UTCI am screaming at the corner sink in neither of the two corners of that kitchen, but instead taking up most of the useful non-corner space forcing its 45⁰ angle in there
