The Livestream That Never Was (But Might Be. Eventually.)

Right, so, did you know you can schedule posts on Patreon? Amazing, right? Technology is wild. And do you know who successfully did this, feeling all smug and accomplished? Wayward. Absolute tech genius. Deserves a biscuit, really.

…Only she doesn’t. Because she scheduled the livestream announcement for next year. 2026. Which, in case you hadn’t noticed, is not today. And because Wayward is, in fact, a muppet, now on a self-imposed biscuit ban, there was absolutely no way for you to know that the livestream was at 22:00 GMT.

Does Wayward feel dumb? Yes. Should Wayward know how to do this by now? Also, yes. But, as established, Wayward is dumb. So. No livestream today, I’m afraid. (Unless someone has a time machine handy, in which case? fancy letting me borrow it?)

Now, Wayward, repeat after me: "Livestream on Sunday, 16th February 2025, at 22:00 GMT."

Well? Go on.

"Livestream on Sunday, 16th February 2025, at 22:00 GMT."

Now say it in a French accent, all sophisticated-like:
"Leeeve-streaaam on ze dimanche, seize Février deux-mille-vingt-cinq, à vingt-deux heures, GMT."
(Très bien, Wayward. You sound very trustworthy and not at all like someone who just scheduled a post a full year ahead.)

Now as a cat.
"Meow-meow-meow, meow-sixteenth of Feb 2025, meow-meow 22:00 GMT. Meow."
(Excellent. Informative and dramatic. Love the commitment.)

Now in Klingon, with honour and rage:
"LIVESTREAM! FEBRUARY 16TH! 2025! 22:00 GMT! QAPLA’!"
(Wayward, I don’t know if that was actual Klingon or just you yelling, but you know what? Points for enthusiasm.)

And finally… like the organised, responsible adult you pretend to be:
"Hello, everyone! Just a quick, well-planned update to confirm that the livestream will be taking place on Sunday, 16th February 2025, at 22:00 GMT. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate you all!"
(…Wow. That felt unnatural, didn’t it? Never doing that again.)

Alright. It’s locked in. SUNDAY. 16TH FEBRUARY. 2025. 22:00 GMT.

Nothing can possibly go wrong now.

(…Right?)
