Patreon Payment Issue, Do not Panic | The State of Things #17

Good morning all,

Quick rant on payment and monetisation across the many evil internet platforms I have chosen to anchor myself to.

First things first; it's been in the news a lot, feel free to google around and take a peek for yourself - Patreon has been having major payment issues. I just wanted to clarify that it's just (potentially) the standard multinational corporation shadiness, and nothing to be concerned about.

If you get an email from Patreon Ireland, or your ba...

Rapid Fast Update, Thoughts on Blood Empire | The State of Things #16

Hello!

A very fast video update today, just had some reflections on the Blood Empire series and info on short term plans with regards to CK3 and the next Rimrim series.

Boy I sure do hope that the next video will be an office tour.
haha.

Tales of your misdeeds are told from Basroto to Canolli,

Two Months Packed into an Hour | The State of Things #15

Finally, after many months of vague end-of-video updates, and me disappearing into the void, I'm here.
Hello.  

And the worst part is the third channel was removed by Youtube so all of the last updates explaining I wasn't here are gone - oops!  

The video above is one hour, two months packed into around 55 minutes, and no, I don't expect you to watch all of it.  The important stuff is at the start, the less import stuff like dog and me are at the end.  &n...

Fast Update

Hello stinky,

I have just moved house. We didn’t use a moving company which was a mistake I won’t ever repeat, as a result I am tired and broken; on the first day I fell down a flight of concrete (BAYBEE) stairs and now I can barely walk.

Luckily you don’t need an unbroken ankle for GAMING.

So the plan is record some in bulk, then take a bus to a place where I can upload. Internet in the new place won’t be switched on until mid next week sadly, so I’m stuck with ...

THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER | The State of Things #14

Is there light at the end of the tunnel?

Probably not. But they've giving me more hope so they can CRUSH ME DOWN once more.

Hi,

To cut a long (so very very long) story short, we are moving soon. We've been given a date today. A final date for this waking nightmare to finally be over. This date is very short notice, and far closer to today than we actually bloody expected, so suffice to say, over the next month or so while everything is ironed out, uploads...

Rapid Fast Update

Hello friends (and Bubka),

It's me, that guy from Youtube.

Apologies upfront, this is just a fast update to say I am working on the new (very unique if I have to say so myself) Rimworld series, but over the past couple of days I've been exceptionally, unusually, extra tired. I woke up at 4am today to work on the new series with plenty of time, and by 10am I was falling asleep at my desk, so I'm just about to go back to sleep so I can at least wake up in a few hours and try and p...

Patron Tier Updates (and addressing the discord problems)

Hey everybody, Elise here! For those who don't know I'm the person who manages the Patreon and passes your messages on to Sam. 

This update will primarily cover the new Patron tiers, however, I wanted to give people a heads-up that there have been some issues with the Patron-only discord roles. If you have lost access to the discord please DM us here and we will manually give you access. We currently don't know if it's a Patreon issue or a bot issue but it should *hopefu...

An Assorted Collection of Bad News

(Oops, I accidentally pressed publish on the last post before Youtube had finished processing - classic)  

Hello,

Do you enjoy bad news, because wow do I have the video (attached above) for you!  

I'll make another Patreon post soon with more positive things I promise.  

Thank you all for being here, it's a relief to know that as the world collapses around us all, I can still afford to eat food.

New Channel Plans for 2023 | State of Things #12

Good morning Patrons,

Attached is this months update for the channel, plans, and everything happening. I'll write up the important notes here then you can watch the video if you want me saying the same thing but in a rambling, incoherant, and unscripted form.

Also, new modpack if you're curious and want to take a look, lots of juicy details contained within: https://steamcommuni...

My Life is Falling Apart (Okay It's not that Bad, but it is Inconvenient) | The State of Things #11

Hello,

Above is a relatively fast (by my standards) update video about what is going on with me. Shockingly, very little, despite me paying people to make things happen.

Everything is zen, and calm, and we're all fine. Cosmic harmony is assured. Good things come to good people.

Thank you for sticking around.

Homelessness Update (Yes, Still Nowhere) | State of Things #10

Hi there,

Firstly: I've kept up with reading your messages and making shoutout/names list changes and all of that type of thing, BUT I haven't had much chance to reply/keep conversations going, so if you have sent a message and you wanted a reply (no matter how minor or casual it was) send me a follow up and I'll get back to you over the next couple of days!

Above is an update video attached explaining house, channel, and other woes, listen to that if you'd like, but I'll do a...

Very Fast Life Update | State of Things #9

Hello,

I have a very fast life update here for you, an explanation to why things are big fucked right now. Hopefully things will be a bit less big fucked very soon, but I'm not optimistic.

Thanks for sticking around

Homeless, Please Standby

Hello Patrons,

Apologies upfront, there will be radio silence for a while, I'll occasionally stop in in the Discord to update there because I can do that from my mobile. If you haven't joined because you hate people, you can link your Discord and silently sneak in, and just keep an eye on the announcements channel, otherwise you won't hear much for a little while.

To cut a long story short, our landlord has been threatening to sell the house for sometime, and a lot of my time in...

Patreon Exclusive - Terraria Fishing Breakaway

Good morning Patrons,

I want to occasionally take the downtime I have in videos, be it building a massive Rimworld construction, or mindlessly fishing in Terraria, and use it as an excuse to have a lil' extra chat about whatever the topic of the day is.

So I received a lot of messages (replying to you all later because I'm actually back on schedule for the first time in like two weeks) concerned about me making too many videos or burning out etc, so I wanted to talk about why I ...

Generations II Final Submissions

Hello one and all!

(Very fast preamble to say I have a few messages to respond to still so don't panic if you've sent me something recently I haven't responded to, I've been super super busy with real life legal issues and it's absolutely destroying all my time)

Going to start moving a bit faster with Generations II now, the Empire Experience is coming to an end soon and I want to begin putting the final pieces on Generations II.

The series probably won't begin ...

Generations II Submissions for Medieval Mods

Patrons and begrudging content enjoyers,

(As a quick note, apologies that this series is taking so long to get started - I'm currently juggling some irl legal issues (outgoing, not against me) coupled with this Youtube are being and as a result some content might be missing on the main channel as it is STRESS TIME but I'll be cancelling second channel content where necessary to keep going with rimrim)

Youtube Checking is Hell and Ruining My Life - State of Things #8

Update to the video above: The second render test that I began mid video was partially successful, with the video passing checks within 20 minutes, but the video only worked in 1080p for some people, and not others. Classic.

Dear friends and the other 1160 of you who I don't care about unless you find a way to get rid of the one person I actually like, then I will whoever does that until it is a battle royale of bankruptcy and oh how I'll laugh,

Mr Streamer Goes Missing from Patreon - State of Things #7

Good morning Patrons one and all,

Prefirstly, messages will be responded to as soon as I wake up;

Firstly, massive apologies for my absense. It has been about 2 weeks now since I last was active on Patreon, lots of reasons for this that I discuss in the video, but regardless, it's not acceptable, and I fully apologise. This is my job, ultimately, and real life got in the way far too much these last few weeks, and though some of it was out of my control, it isn't a good look for ...

Biggest Patreon Changes Yet (PLEASE READ SUMMARY AT LEAST!)

Patrons!

Quick first point - if you're waiting for me to reply to a message, don't worry, I have read everything you've sent up to a few days ago, I just haven't replied yet. Names lists, end credits, etc are updated and ready for next episode. I have been adding in your requests as they've been coming in over the past week or so, I just haven't responded to all of you quite yet, but requests have been fulfilled!

Patreon Lockout, Real Life Update, Ridiculous Tech Support Story

Good morning Patrons,  

I have finally returned back to the land of Patreon, after an extended lock out and very, very busy past two weeks. The new series snuck up on me and I was woefully underprepared having another entire series already lined up, but I pivotted to this new series idea very much last minute.

The video above doesn't have the usual progress bars, topic on screen, etc but it does have timestamps. I'm already a bit behind schedule, and my keyboard is broken, ...

My House is Covered in Actual Literal Sewage

Hello,

A fast update to say that I, both mentally and physically, will be unavailable over the next few days, so apologies to all of you who have I have not had chance to reply to over the past couple of days here, but the bottom floor of my house is flooded with actual sewer water and it takes priority.

Not only will I not be able to reply here, but content will be missing occasionally while I try and fix this fairly sizable problem.

New Years Video (At Long Last!) - State of Things #4

Good morning Patrons,

Or at least morning for me, tomorrow morning that is, I have been awake for 30 hours as writing this so please forgive the above video if it's somewhat delusional.

At long last, the promised New Years video is here discussing last year, this year, plans, and changes that are coming to the Patreon. As per usual, the video has visual ques for subjects, bars at the bottom and left hand sides showing how long a particular topic has left, and Youtube chapters -...

Fast New Years Update (I'm NOT moving to Ko-Fi!)

Patrons, non-patrons, and people who have clicked on this entirely by mistake,

Hello. 2022 is off to a good start isn't it?

I am hard at work on the very sudden new modpack I'm having to build, but covid is proving to be a bit of a pain in the arse and I have a bit of fever today, so it's slower than anticipated.

But, this is a very fast update post to say that I have plans for a full 2022 update video, which is going over some pretty massive changes to the Patre...

New Update Video - State of Things #3!

Good morning you filthy, filthy slug,

It's me, Sam, that guy who used to upload daily until a constant and unediting breakage at my internet service provider has scuppered by daily uploading hopes and dreams. Now I only upload on average 5 times a week, and once daily on the second channel, and 4 times a week on the Elise and Sam channel. Damn you internet provider, now people will starve for content.

Okay, but jokes aside, I have legitimately been looking at moving house to a d...

Slowness of Patreon,

Dear fans of Anne (Fannes),

Unfortunately this week my illustrious Patreon assisant is away and won't be returning until Monday, so it's going to take me a lot longer to keep on top of things. Normally Elise manages all of the names lists but as it's just me, and I get 20+ messages daily, it's a lot to catch up on.

I only have another 29 messages left to go but I'm just posting this to let newcomers know who see this afterwards that I'll be with you very very soon, just jugglin...
