Schedules, structures, Discord

Since the inception of my Patreon, I was always thrilled at the idea of removing schedules from my life as I thought that was one of life's goals to check off the bucket list. I've been in denial for a long time of that; and I feel that I not only disrespected myself doing that, but you and your time as well. When am I gonna upload? When is the next ___? Truly a mystery.

In reality, having no structure in my life is just not doing me any favors, the stresses are still there, and I still work a bunch. Of course, this also takes a toll on my physical and brain health.
I'm not getting any younger, so I gotta keep myself in check - and the only way I can do that in my current state is to prune stuff I don't need, and just focus. A lot of you spend your hard earned income and time supporting me, and I never take that for granted. Thank you, btw.

Tuesday through Friday will be daily uploads from the list, with random drawing thrown in there. Platinum requests will be uploaded on the weekends. (Platinum members can still ping me here to get a video, it will just be uploaded on the weekend, or directly to their inbox early if they wish.)
Wednesdays will be batch early episodes of VOD playthroughs.

With the above schedule, I still get '3' days off a week to decompress, cause the weekend Plat uploads will be filmed during the week so it's not a big deal to simply click "post."

As far as the Discord channel goes, that is no more. Anyone who's been around me long enough knows how much of a strain managing that channel has become, it was a matter of time, and now I'm at peace. With Discord, not only was I adding more workflow to my day, but had to balance notifications, babysitting, and the idea of moderators "working" for me. I never liked either of these things. I never intended any mod of mine to work for me or help, I'd rather they just like my videos like when they first encountered me, doesn't feel right to have them do tasks.

Having that channel meant I was never truly disconnected from working, imagine driving home from your job and your boss or coworker is texting you at home, like nah let me breathe. I'm human just like the rest of you.
Not every channel needs a discussing place, I simply just like uploading my videos and going about my day. Whether or not you agree, you have to put your place in my shoes for 1 minute to understand that it will only get worse as time goes on.

Finally, I'm ok :>
This isn't a doom post or me hating everything, I've achieved everything in my life by doing similar things to this. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do to maintain your mental.
If anything, things will be better now.

My priority is you all here supporting me, getting your request done, and hopefully making yours and my days a little better, that's it.
Thanks for reading. 2026 will be cool :)
