December Update

Hey everyone. This is mostly just a status update, only the first part is important.

I've heard messaging on Patreon has been somewhat broken lately, and some replies haven't been going through. So if anyone has sent me a message recently and I haven't responded, that's why. If you wish to contact me you can DM me on Twitter, until they fix the messaging system on here. I just wanted to point this out in case anyone thought I was ignoring them.

While I'm here, I'll also confirm that Janurary billing is indeed paused. It was doubtful I'd be back right away anyway, but there's been other delays. I planned to build a new PC during this break, but it turned out to be just about the worst possible time to do so. I only intend to go for something mid-range, but even some of those components are kind of hard to come by at the moment. Hopefully I can still get it done sometime in January. 

I don't expect it to help with SFM performance much, because of software limitations, but my current PC has been struggling with things in general. If it can at least help speed up load times, that would make working with SFM much less of a headache than it currently is.

It will also open up the possibility of doing some things with Blender. I still haven't properly learned even the basics of that program, but I might mess with it a bit more during this break and try to get the hang of it. I don't intend to make a full switch to Blender anytime soon, no matter how well that goes, so don't worry if you prefer SFM style stuff. It'd just be fun to be able to work on that on the side a little. Right now if I try to render something as a test, it locks up my PC half the time.

Thanks again for the patience while I'm inactive, this time off has already been helpful.
