The July MegaUpdate!

Part 1: Chaos Rewards are On Their Way

Holy [Cungadero]! I did not expect reward fulfillment to get that expensive that fast! I guess I didn't anticipate so many international viewers? (What is this I don't even).

In addition to discovering how expensive shipping is right now, I also found that some Chaos Tier backers prefer *not* to have physical rewards at all, or don't feel comfortable including their physical address which is fair! So to remedy both problems, I'm going to slightly alter Chaos Tier. First, what is currently Chaos Tier is going to be renamed Chaos-Chaos Tier and will be locked.

Second, new Chaos Tiers will be able to choose between backing at Digital Chaos, or Physical Chaos.

Since the only available Physical Chaos right now is Pokemon, I will also allow backers to Choose Their Pokemon, within reason. Since the Gameboy Printer only prints for Generations 1 and 2, you are limited to those games, and uh... if your request would be insanely time consuming. (Like a Celebi with impossible moves) I do retain the right to veto. In general Gen 1 is easier for me to print, but hopefully Gen 2 printing should become more feasible soon.

Either way, physical chaos is now on it's way to all Chaos Tiers who provided their shipping address. If you didn't do that uhhhh, maybe do that and then give me a poke so I can include you in the next batch.

We also have some Chaos Tiers who aren't currently in the discord so uh, if for some reason you're Chaos Tier but averse to discord, shoot me a message so I can try to figure out how to fill your Digital Chaos.
Part 2: Channel Forecast!

This July it would appear I'm getting my Covid Booster Shot uhhh right meow! Since my immune system tends to respond to every harmless little thing like it's being invaded by facehugging chest-bursters, this will likely reduce my productivity this week. As a result we're doing another Instant Noodles just so I can take a breather to catch up on all the other vital things I'm behind on.

This should, in theory, give me a moment to start releasing that big stack of bonus content I've been sitting on, as well as get cat versions out and all that other lovely house keeping I've been utterly neglecting as the endless Youtube treadmill reaches speeds I dared not fear in my darkest dreams. 

After that, our next video will be a Cat Tier request! So brace yourself for that [terrifying] new segment.

Part 3: Increasing Staff, Also Spanish Translation?!

As you may have noticed, trying to everything myself is running me quite ragged, so this month I am finally going to start using some of those [WACKY STACKS] to *try* to hire some part time editors and such to help lighten the load. Wowie!

So, please welcome to the team Sergio (our Spanish translator), [String] our (audio?) Editor, and fellow youtuber and newest editor Fredz.

Right now Sergio and Fredz are working on the Spanish translation, since for some reason apparently I'm garnering a following in Spanish speaking theorycraft-spheres? I have no idea how this happened but the delightful thing about TTS is, it's pretty easy to re-dub in another language.

In addition to making my videos more accessible to other languages, this also provides a way to practice coordinating teammates and resources without the immense [eldritch terror!] that comes with a hard deadline. So, to assure it stays that way, I'm going to hold off on releasing them until we have a pretty good backlog, that way I can help boost the new channel up, and give it the best chance it can have to keep pace with the English one.

If for some reason you have an absolute burning need to check it out early, the link to the channel itself is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7w-0tNx2acl5hS9bdRuu_A

And the video (which will only work with your Patreon email and only if it's not cursed is here: https://youtu.be/p-fS8mc3MJQ)

The actual download will be up when it goes live, that's just a sneak preview since... why not?

Will the Spanish Channel be a huge success and spawn like 3 more translation sibling channels? Will we fall behind and need to drag even *more* editors into the [BURNING FIRE]? Heck if I know! But... thank you for bringing me this far. 

The love and support you guys give still blows my mind every day. I feel like I'm peering down into something so vast, deep, and mysterious that my mind quakes just looking at it, like I'm staring into the unknowable eyes of some eldritch terror.

It's very scary, and very heart warming. Thank you all so much.
