I am a liar and a fraud... (August Update)
Added 2021-08-04 14:53:06 +0000 UTCOk firstly, I somehow missed June and July's update... I guess time has just been flying I had no idea how it happened so I am very sorry!
Secondly, the title of this update brings me onto some very exciting news and why I missed those updates (maybe). As many of you know I have been on a sabbatical for the summer, meaning I have been creating content full time (or living the dream as I like to call it) and my sabbatical is coming to end... However this may not mean what you think it does as today I handed in my notice at work to let them know I will not be returning. This is my job now! One of the scariest things I have ever done but something I am so passionate about making work, plus with all the support I have received particularly from Patreons it's a no brainer!
The downside is now my channel name is basically a lie, hence the post title, but I hope most people will learn to forgive me for this one!
In actual update news, that's the big one and it's hot off the press! You have probably seen we hit 250k subscribers (and the a few more afterwards) so the channel is doing really well. I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully things will keep going as they are. I am so so grateful to people like yourselves that have chosen to support me financially, I really appreciate it and I am trying my best to think of more bonus content to offer you guys as a thank you... Any suggestions appreciated!
For now, Peace, Love and Bridges! I promise I will try harder to make sure I don't miss another update, but I have truly been having fun and you all know the saying about time flying... Thanks all!

You are an engineer, a real civil engineer by education. Your job title doesn’t make you what you are. What you are earns you a job title. You don’t stop being an engineer by adding this aspect to you life experience. So there is no fraud going on here. Anyhow, new Pateon member at the highest current level because you deserve it, from one engineer to another. I’ll leave you with this tidbit off wisdom. I’ve been training in martial arts since I was 15, almost 30 years now. I’ve helped open and run multiple schools in our organization. I’ve taught for over 20 years. I heard this from my first instructor when I was young, he said “find a job you love doing and never work again.” If this is your passion…follow it. It really is following a dream, don’t stop! I’ll tell you this, you were made to this! You’re entraining, funny and a pleasure to binge watch. I have to watch everyday to unwind and relax. I’ve bought 5-6 of the games I’ve fallen in love with because of this channel. You are clearly a natural. Soon you’ll be in the 1Million Subs category…I’m glad I found it a while back, but when I heard you do this as your job now, I decided to support your Patreon because the value you provide for the support is far worth it! I wish you all the best success and can’t wait to see what Poly Bridge 2’s 1 million subscriber build will be! Peace, Love and Patreons! Boosh!

2021-12-26 13:34:03 +0000 UTCJust subbed for a year because of your city skylines series and I love it all and I am happy to see you going full time, maybe you could give this game a little more love now??
2021-09-03 03:48:40 +0000 UTCFollowing you here now as well. Would love to fumble through this game with you. I can build, and know enough to get into trouble.
2021-09-03 00:14:49 +0000 UTCCongrats on going full time!! I just now became a patron but I've been watching your videos for a while now! Also, you're the first ever channel that I've given any sort of monetary donation towards because I just love your channel so much! You were also a huge inspiration to me for starting my own channel, so thank you for that! I wish you the best of luck! We're all rooting for you!
2021-08-24 02:04:24 +0000 UTCThe bonus content is you making a living outside of engineering! Although I love engineering...
2021-08-16 04:05:43 +0000 UTCNice one! I'm a patron of a couple of other channels, as a perk to their patrons they release videos a week early via Patreon before the general public get to see them... plus the £1k cheque a month they send out to each of their patrons of course... keep doing what you're doing, it is working 😎 Peace, Love and £1k cheques each! 😅

2021-08-05 02:44:11 +0000 UTCOnce an engineer always an engineer!
2021-08-04 22:42:59 +0000 UTCI heard going full time content creator has no effect on existing engineering degrees...
