In August, we asked you to submit facts for a chance to win a free T-shirt from the Saikou store. We've been through all of your submissions and here is the result!
We'll still have yet to record a winner for September, so that will also be announced soon. Remember that you just have to be a supporter at any tier of the Patreon and you'll be automatically eligible to potentially win a T-shirt in the future!
Hope you all enjoy the video and the facts!

Last month, Karl's topic of "weird media that defined your personality" won the vote and ended up creating a very nostalgic chat. Hopefully, October's Focus will be just as interesting!

For a little experiment, I decided to stream the process of creating a Fact Fiend short for Patrons to come along and watch.
Had a good chat with the few who joined in and said hi. Will leave the VOD active in case anyone wants to watch it.
I'm happy to do an editing stream again if there's enough interest. Comment below if it's something you'd like to see =)
