A quick extra about a weird cassette

This video was just intended to be a quick extra, something to show in-between more complicated projects. Unfortunately though just as I finished it I was knocked for six by illness which has temporarily put a stop to video production.

What started as a common cold turned into infections of the throat, ears and eyes. Most debilitating is deafness in both ears (the ear canals are packed full of gunk). I’m on antibiotics now, so all of these things should pass in time - but at the moment I’m out of action.

I'm not here to look for sympathy, I just wanted to explain why the video output for August will be a bit thinner than anticipated. I had planned to shoot a patreon extra video too, but that's looking like one for September now.

Back to this short video though it's been a while since I uploaded a sub ten minute video, so I thought I should also explain about the absence of the outro credits scroll. When I make a short video I don't add the credits on the end. Since most of the videos I make are over ten minutes it's something that rarely crops up. However I do have a few topics that I'd like to cover in the future that can probably be wrapped up in about five minutes. I hope the idea of these short credit-free videos doesn't upset anyone whose name is in the credits, but a six minute video with two and a half minutes of credits seems unbalanced.
