Oooh, awesome! I find this entire subject fascinating.

Ah, dang - I forgot how rubbish Bluesky is about thumbnails.

For any curious folks hesitant to click the link, it's the story about hos I HILARIOUSLY ended up wearing a 4 pint carton of milk. Because... well. You'll see.

You're REALLY good a this kind of thing.

We recently used one of your one-page reports for a short Those Dark Places campaign. I did a little repurposing to tie it in with our main game. What you'd put together had a perfect balance of content and room for customization, and We had a BLAST with it!

1000% this. I slammed the brakes on my show and put everything back into audio editing until I felt I'd worked out how to balance and clean up audio appropriately.

Listeners deserve that much. And putting out a show that sounds awful is algorithmic suicide these days.

I'm generally pretty forgiving, as putting my own show together has shown how UNBELIEVABLY hard it is to make these things happen.

But I can tell you that I once, tuned into a new show, and one of the players belched loudly and deliberately into the mic.

I instantly clicked off it.

So... safe from loud noises, but now subject to intense irritation?

In the meantime, stick with us. We have some fun stuff in the pipeline, and I'm hoping it won't be too much longer until it goes public.

(There's also a couple of podcasts in the offing. But I'll say no more about those just yet.)

I'm hoping that by this time next week I'll either be on the other side of the stuff I've got to contend with, or I'll at least know what I'm actually dealing with for the foreseeable. Can't really say more, as it's all a bit sensitive.
November 3, 2025 at 1:01 AM
I'll have to pivot back to what I was previously editing next week, in hopes of getting back on track. But for a week where I was basically in 'stuff everything, I can't deal with it' mode, I think I've done *pretty bloody well.*
November 3, 2025 at 1:01 AM
...this is actually a really speedy rate of work for the show. If I'm able to keep it up, it might mean that I've edited a whole episode within just two weeks. It'll weigh in t 1hr and 48 mins.

That may seem slow. But remember, we try to do things to a high standard.
November 3, 2025 at 1:01 AM
Incredibly, within just about one week, I've managed to take one of our previously unedited sessions and get the thing more or less edited together in rough fashion.

It still needs to have sound effects and special video effects added. And the sound needs to be properly balanced. But...

I recently bought a new PC to use for media creation, and all the grim stuff fell on me just as I was getting it set up to use properly.

So, as I wait on news regarding one of these nasty situations, I've kind of gotten stuck into some rough editing.
November 3, 2025 at 1:01 AM
Life's taken a bit of a nasty turn just recently. I was hit with a double whammy of really unpleasant real-life situations that have basically flattened me. So it's felt liek a struggle to keep anything on track.

The crazy thing is, I HAVE managed to get some stuff done.
November 3, 2025 at 1:01 AM
Currently, the plan is to get a fresh block of content edited and ready to present ASAP. I'll have more news on that soon-ish, as I've got about halfway through the edit for the third video in that series. When that's done, I'll start releasing stuff.

HOWEVER...
November 3, 2025 at 1:01 AM
Really sorry to hear of your loss, Seth.

I remember seeing her videos a few times years back. Thought they were complete shit (and I don't say that lightly.)

The one that tore it for me was where she angrily declared she'd be voting UKIP over a completely nonsensical non-issue. She's an utter moron.

I'll take 'they made a calculated move to piss people off just coz' for £50 please, Robb.
October 31, 2025 at 9:46 PM
All I'm saying is, nobody's buying that you found that copy of Metroid Prime just laying in your driveway one day.
October 31, 2025 at 2:02 PM
To your credit, the £1.99 sticker is genuine, so at least you're not in the realm of 'I found this first party Nintendo game for three quid in Barnados, that post-it note price tag is 100% legit, so my wife can't divorce me.'

Lee Anderson is that rare breed of human who wakes up in the morning with his personality dial wedged firmly at the 'hateful' setting.

I honestly think he's mentally ill. It's not normal to spout the kind of bullshit he does so easily.

Hang in there, man. I know full well that some days, when life decides to clobber you, it clobbers you HARD.

G'm glad to know you, glad to call you a friend, and sincerely hoping for much better days ahead for you.
