| 0:00.0 | A quick note before we get started with today's episode, some things have changed for our patrons, |
| 0:05.0 | and I just want to make sure that our VIP patrons are aware, and those of you who would |
| 0:09.0 | be interested in this, also are aware. |
| 0:11.0 | We're starting something new and exciting. |
| 0:13.0 | For our VIP patrons, we are now going to do a monthly get-together where we can sit down and chat, |
| 0:19.0 | and I can get to know you you and you can get to know me |
| 0:21.6 | and we can just nerd out and talk about some of our favorite things. You guys can ask questions. |
| 0:27.0 | We can debate some things. And this monthly chat will happen at the end of every month on a |
| 0:32.5 | specific time and a specific date. So a few things. First of all, current VIP patrons, I will be posting some things on the Patreon in the coming |
| 0:40.3 | weeks to help us confirm the best date and time for these things to happen. |
| 0:45.3 | Say, for example, the last Sunday of every month at a specific time of day, you'll all vote, |
| 0:51.3 | and we'll go with the time that works for the most people. |
| 0:53.3 | And I also need some |
| 0:55.0 | decisions about the way we're going to manage this, will we put it out on the feed and all of that. |
| 1:00.1 | So those of you who are signed up currently and who do sign up in the next few weeks will help |
| 1:04.9 | decide this for everybody. And I'm so excited to get together and talk with everyone about this. |
| 1:09.3 | There are some current posts already for VIP patrons about why this change is happening and how we're managing it. So go check that out if you haven't logged into Patreon recently. Go check out some of the most recent posts where I've explained what's going on. Also, part of this has to do with the fact that Patreon is no longer doing the t-shirt merch thing. I tried to update it |
| 1:28.6 | and it said I couldn't and then it said I couldn't go back to the other setup. So we're doing |
| 1:33.7 | this instead and honestly I think this is actually a lot more fun than sending merch out because |
| 1:38.7 | I'm going to get to know all of you and nerd out with you about one of the best things in the |
| 1:43.1 | entire world. So check that out. |
| 1:45.2 | If you have any questions, let me know. |
