Patreon is paused for February

Nice try. What you're failing to consider is that many of us are getting continuous reward from your current content by rewatching all your videos. By the time I get through them all, enough time has passed to go back to the first!

Old Man Cat

nice try joe but you are gonna take my money and you are gonna like it 😈😈😈😈😈

Hey man. I've been watching since the first Fallout 4 video and I'm not a big commenter but hey, I paid this time. Looking forward to your analysis of my favorite game (probably of all time). Don't be like the devs, post when it's ready. Good luck!

Just joined your patreon and I'm excited to start supporting you. I watched your Witcher videos when they first came out and *man* am I excited to hear that this one is 10 fucking hours. (I've been watching your content for about 3 years now but just gained the ability to support creators) You're an absolute mad lad and I love your content. Seriously take your time with this, people who yell at you for that are assholes. Don't feel pressured or bad for having such a huge gap in content.

AllegoricSiren

Hope all is well! I've gotten some friends turned onto your channel and they're loving the analysis you give.

Hope you're doing better right now. I'm sure everyone would love to hear a lifesign from you, even if it wouldn't mean more content. Take care.

You and some other creators of thoughtful, extensive, and very popular videos keep having mental exhaustion and similar issues, probably because of the pressure to stay our darling. I know it's important to you, but it's not THAT important. Take your time.

Old Man Cat

wow what a necro post on my part

UnarmedToaster

Shammy does this too. I'll say the same thing, feels appropriate. Video droughts happen. I support you on patreon for that very reason. As a somewhat functioning adult, I know that shit just pops up sometimes that can't be helped. That being said, I care about more about you, the person. The world needs more people in it that have internalized critical thought. Please take the money, its in the budget for a reason. If it makes you uncomfortable to take money without 'product', post a pic of your dog. The internet loves that shit.

UnarmedToaster

Love your work, excited to see it when you're ready to release it. <3

vaultbreaker

Take your time my guy, wouldn't be here if I didn't want to support you and your work! <3

Take your time (pensive Joker face)

All I can say after 9 hours so far...so very worth it.

Aris Somatis

I'm in awe about how much time and work you put into your research and in no way I would want you to rush it or sacrifice your mental health for it. I'm fine with waiting, in the end, these videos are my hottest drops on youtube and always an event! Keep up the good work!

Because of your video, I watched the series on Netflix and I’m currently playing through 1-3 and I ordered the books on amazon. New Witcher fan.

Hey I went back to your Uncharted video in preparation for the Last of Us Part 2 and I noticed a spike in viewership. I remember you mentioning in one of your videos that it didnt perform well initially so congratulations! 😁

Rewatching part 1. Can't wait for the rest man. Seriously great content all around.

Great review Joe, do you know when the second is arriving>

Lew

Just wanted to post that I was so excited about your Witcher 3 video that it was the motivation I needed to finally beat the game. Very interested to hear your take on it.

FoxDeploy

I liked the first review so much that I'm currently rewatching it, and that in it of itself was enough reason to want to support your content. Very excited for part 2.

Quick status update (2): I havent seen a video of you ina while, but I still searched for you first when I opened my account. You are brilliant, and everything you do is great, and worth the wait. I know thats not what this account is for, but I enjoy your books as much as your videos. Monsterhunter series had some of the best moments I ever read in books. Made me gasp, literally. Take your time, stay happy, we support you!

Hey Joe. Quick status update: we still love you! Take as much time as you feel good with.

The whole point of being a Patron is giving money to someone in exchange for progress on their own personal work. There is no deadline if good content continues to come out. Take the damn money. I just signed up today.

Dog

It probably doesn't feel like it right now, but you've made this thing. It's quite an achievement to have delved this hard into *any* topic. Thanks for taking the time, and once you send it out in the world, we'll be there to catch it. Can't wait to see and hear!

Hawk9600

Stay save, wish you the best and hope you dont push a limit only cause you think you have to. I can only speak for myself but you are not letting me down and I dont think any one else here. We Support you, please stay true to your words and focus on your health.

Mangoroxas

excited for the best 10 hours of my life

Take the time you need. Be it time to edit, more breaks to give your mind a rest, or something else. Do what you have to do to make it be what you want it to be, without destroying yourself in the process. I just wish I could support you on Patreon in the mean time as well. But I understand your reasoning for pausing it. Take care.

Jostein Krogrud

Dunno what you mean exactly by pausing the Patreon, but looking forward to seeing you finish this huge project... and lowkey also looking forward to seeing you generate a wider variety of (marginally shorter) content again, like before your Witcher days :)

Ervin

If that makes you feel better about things I sure don't have a problem with it. Honestly I never backed you or subbed on twitch out of expectation for the Witcher or whatever future content though and don't consider the release date of the video even a minor concern. Keep up the good work, but don't work and worry yourself to death either.

Jonathan

Jesus I can't believe that's what you've been doing this whole time. What a maniac dude you are an inspiration

Christopher Castro

You do an incredible amount of work and consistently make great content. Don't worry about it taking longer, we understand!

Projects like this are exactly why I support you on Patreon, Joe. You help me see the games I love with new eyes.

Anthony Mills

Hope it goes well! I'm looking forward to it, but I'm sure many of us will agree that we value your safety and sanity above all else. I'm glad you are taking steps to take care!

A Pretty Large Fruit Salad

No worries Joe, shame you feel like you need to pause it, don't mind supporting while we wait, now I'll try and figure out how to support you on twitch instead (semi-old man here). Take all the time you need :)

You deserve a long break after this. Your mental health comes first. Hang in there!

Siph

Do whatever you need to take care of you.

Joshua Morse

Great call Joe, anything you need to do to take the preasure off in your head you do, even if it means we gotta endure not giving you money for a month or so. We already waited 2 years, we can wait out a few months easy. Looking forward to the vid! Whenever it's ready. 👍

Derron Mah

No need to apologize for making a 10 hour video and it taking longer than a ten minute one. That's exactly what we support you for.

Kdansky

It's ok, Joe! I'm happy the video is in its final stages and if you need to pause the patreon for your mental health, then it's fine. Hope you're doing well, despite the stress and all that. Take care! <3

These are exciting times, Joe! Even without the money, I hope you feel supported! You've given me the inspiration to play Prey and Soma, two experiences that I will treasure for a long time. Maybe you'll finally convince my stubborn lizard brain to give Witcher a chance. :)

AFAIK YouTube doesn't really care for videos which are that long, as there are tons of videos on there which are 10+ hours long (like all those "10 hours of [loop of some short nonsensical video]")

One last push, one last trip!
