0:00.0	Hey, it's Thomas Frank. I've just got a quick note for you before we get into the show.
0:03.5	If you've been enjoying the inforium or my videos over on YouTube, then you, my friend,
0:07.9	should get Nebula. On Nebula, you get ad-free versions about this podcast and my videos,
0:12.9	along with exclusive stuff, like extended versions of those videos. And it's not just our
0:17.2	stuff that you're going to get. Dozens of other creators are on Nebula, including Alieb Doll,
0:20.8	Windover Productions, Braincraft, Tearsoo, and lots more. Nebula gives us a chance to
0:25.4	experiment, and since everything's ad-free, it's also the best way for you to get our content.
0:55.4	If we batch record podcasts, then we can't do project check-in every two weeks.
1:02.4	This is true. Because we just finished a podcast episode and have made no progress since then.
1:08.8	Project check-in. I have. I kind of stood for a few seconds while we handled recording things.
1:16.4	That's true. I technically did make progress on my new channel.
1:23.4	You know what? You did. Tom made progress. I didn't. I didn't do anything.
1:27.4	The five-minute break between recording podcasts, I went into Notion and I created
1:34.0	the entry for the first episode. I'm going to do that channel. And it's on the calendar.
1:38.1	That wasn't done before. I guess project check-ins will have to,
1:42.0	they'll be more substantial, maybe. What we're going to have to do is on more. When we take a
1:46.9	five-minute break from the recording, you have to go hard. I got to do something. Yep.
1:51.4	An entire pixel art. Just in five minutes. What can we make in five minutes?
1:55.9	Something. What is the limit of what I could make look good in five minutes?
1:59.9	Could you do something? How long is five minutes?
2:06.2	I think this is the problem. Five minutes sounds like nothing. But when I get really focused on
2:10.2	something, I'll get really into it, do a bunch of stuff and be like, what? Oh, only four minutes
