2023-01-26 21:40:08 +0000 UTC View PostPosters have started shipping out to the first wave of people! You need to be at the $10+ level for 3 months. This started mid-November, so if you signed up on Dec 21st, your poster would go into production on February 21st!
There was about 12-13 people that got sent the wrong poster. Patreon used the draft file instead of the final file. You'd be able to tell because it doesn't look like the picture I posted two weeks ago.
Worry not! If you got sent that, I have alrea...

Happy New Year!
As promised, here is the final product for the Galar Poster! This poster (frame not included) will start going out to anyone who has subscribed for $10, $25, $50, $100 a month (remember legacy tiers don't qualify for merch - I've talked to Patreon about this, just can't do it, so if you want this, you'll need to switch tiers).
If you are at any of these tiers, please make sure to update your address! I will not be sending the...

If you need company this weekend, I am doing a 24 hour Christmas stream starting right now.

These are a couple of Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet you can feel confident putting your resources in and bringing to 5-star and 6-star Tera Raid Battles without feeling like the weakest link. All these Pokémon do different things to keep your gameplay fresh and to add to consistent wins under your belt when it comes to Raiding in Paldea!

A bonus episode just went up on the premium feed in case you missed it!
Also, a day or two ago Acast announced it would be shutting down. This was an integration with Patreon for our premium feed. What does this mean? Well, not much! I'll redirect the premium feed back to Patreon's very simple built-in one. I don't think there is a current alternative, but you'd have to update the RSS feed (copy and paste) when that time comes.
