Supporter Behind the Scenes Update
Added 2020-05-24 21:10:42 +0000 UTCHello!
I've been meaning to make one of these for a while and I had a fun idea on how to do this one.
One correction, at one point I think I say "mid March" when I meant "mid May". It really feels like April was just skipped this year and I keep making that mistake.

That could work, but I think I would want to make it as fair as possible. So maybe I could have it print a header at normal speed like: Tech Tangents Hard Copy Supporters -------------------------- And then when it gets to printing the names then I speed it up and probably reduce the volume so it's not obnoxious. Now that I think about it more, the paper will probably be more expensive than the ink. It's not easy to find tractor feed paper nowadays. But even if I printed everyone's names right now at all supporter levels it would still only be 4 or 5 sheets so that may not be too bad. I'll play around with the idea some.

2020-05-25 14:04:59 +0000 UTCGood idea for the new Patreon update format- really enjoyed the mix of chat and classic game footage. (great selection btw, that’s also my favorite era of games) And the multi camera setup is very cool. I think the idea for an ongoing “mail-call-style” Thrifting feature is excellent- its an original take on the idea and we’d love to see some of the great finds you’ve been getting. Don’t worry about the decrease in video volume; it takes time to create high quality, polished work and your recent videos have been worth the wait. For your new $5 Patreon outro idea: why not start the clip of your “dot matrix printer of the month” at normal speed so we can hear the sound and then speed it up after the first couple of introductory lines finish printing and you get into the long list of names?
