October 2024 Update

Hello everyone!

Including all 714 of my new members!

Releasing the video early on Patreon brought in a lot more of you than I expected, though replacing the usual sponsored segment for a Patreon pitch seemed to have very little effect. So now I know what works and what doesn't, and I can try to reproduce that with the next video.

Speaking of, the next video will be on Hawaii. I made a video on it 6 years ago that was only 20 minutes long and I feel like I can do a much better job at telling that story now than I did back then. This will be the first time in ages that I've redone a video, so I'm excited to see the contrast between the two. The old video was added to the vault a few weeks ago.

Research has already begun and I'm halfway through my first book. It's too early to say when this video will be done, but I'm hoping early 2025, possibly February.

That might be complicated by a few things going on behind the scenes, however. In the last 10 months, I got married and bought a house - contributing to the SDA video's long production time.

Well now I'm moved in and I've put a significant amount of money into remodeling the basement bedroom into a somewhat proper studio space. The contractors are working on that right now and should be done by the end of October. After that, I have to actually figure out how to use the space. Where to put furniture, lights, where shots will be located, all that. Luckily, this will be my permanent studio, so barring a natural disaster, I won't have to go through this process again.

And somewhat related, we're going for a week-long honeymoon to Iceland next week. Once I'm back from that, research-related watch parties will start back up on the Discord.

Glad things are working out for you, but please go easy on the remodel. Don't want to disturb Steampunk KB with too much change all at once.

Omg congrats KB, as a fellow psych student ,back in the early/mid 2010’s, I got turned off from your videos for a little because of your 13 reasons why video and punching down at Bill Wartz a musician that made 2 history videos on an ADHD side quest, but once I got over that you have honestly been one of my favorite YouTubers if not my second favorite right by oversimplified. I’m so happy for your marriage, new home, and your family. Take your well deserved honeymoon and enjoy the beauty of the Reykjavík metro.
