Please Forgive Me (Minor Health Update)

A video took so long that AI is killing Adobe.... At this point Gta6 may come out before this video gets finished and published on yt

Your videos are always 1000% well-worth the wait. Take your time!!!

I'll wait till the heat death of the universe for the next video, dude. Take your time.

I just started watching and impulsively stopped to just say that whatever you say about acquisitions i'm so happy you're covering this. I'm a dev and I got exposed to so much of this bullshit over the last years and each time it was worse than the last. It's simply incredible how ridiculous the acquistion process goes, how products are usually completely obliterated in favor of either an almost dysfunctional version or (in some cases that I was involved with) incredibly quickly shut down. Ok now i'm gonna chill out and keep watching

Honestly, taking two and a half years to drop a 4.5-hour video critiquing corporate monopolies and software greed while keeping literally every scrap of communication, progress update, and draft locked behind a monthly paywall is top-tier structural irony. It’s almost artistic how the platform that actually built your platform—YouTube—gets treated like a forgotten digital cemetery for non-paying peasants, while Patreon functions like an intellectual OnlyFans where the rest of us just stare at the paywall. Nobody is expecting a movie-length masterpiece every six months, but the complete radio silence for over two years while pulling in passive revenue off the back of a dormant feed is wild. A simple 30-second public text post for the people who supported the channel from day one wouldn't break the bank or delay the edit. If the core message of the new video is about corporate hoarding and exploitation, maybe don't run the channel like a private pay-to-win club where basic news about whether you're still active costs $2/3$ a month (let's say $1mil rounded).

2 takes of security lords near the end

I would have said that this needs 10-15% editing out, but if it means losing the 'little bummy wummy' joke, I would gladly take an extra 10-15% on top.

Hope you feel better soon!

bro got carpal tunnel from jorkin it too hard. happens to the best of us soldier

Thanks for the video I wish i could buy it but I will forgot to cancel

Take your recovery very seriously, please. Carpal tunnel ruined my mom‘s life for almost a decade before she was finally able to get surgery for it. And even then, it’s not a complete cure, but just improve the symptoms. You don’t deserve a lifelong disability just so your video can get out a little earlier. Take all the time you need.

Dude, take care of yourself. I was missing you, so I rewatched Plagiarism and You(Tube) for the 27th time, then I came here and saw this. No video is worth your health. I will fight anyone crazy enough to suggest otherwise

This is maybe literally Adobe's fault

Just happy you're still alive and kicking

Hope you feel better by now! Your video is the most anticipated addition to the Muppet franchise this year... In my household... I live alone... Now with an endorsement like that, I can imagine the immense pressure you are under but please take care of yourself first. :)

take care of your wrist! dont work! dont jack off!

they got him

Whilst Hbomb wasn't looking Adobe produced 10 different new updates with you getting 1 of them randomly each time you restart your pc. Number 7 AI generates nude photos of your relatives and Number 4 edits your WinOS files to be permantly a part of your PC, if you do not pay adobe £200 a month your PC is nolonger usable. The video length has just increased by 2 hours

I hope that hand is doing ok, repetitive strain injuries are no joke, I messed my neck up for about 3 years because my bag was too heavy in secondary. Take care of yourself.

when the world needed him most, he vanished

I'm assuming it's RSI from using a mouse all day. Get yourself a good wireless vertical mouse. Order a few from Amazon and keep the most comfortable one. You'll thank me.

From someone who ignored their carpal tunnel until it got worse, you are 100% doing the right thing!! It's so, do much better to take care of it right away. We all knew what kind of schedule we were signing up for and were here to support YOU. Take as long as you need!

don't worry about it big dawg

Hey is your wrist better yet? My forgiveness is waning

happy soon!

Worry not dude, you've practically got the weight of the world on those wrists.

Hey, completely understandable - but is there a new (rough) estimate when it will be out?

I thought CoffeeZilla had a poor upload rate until I stumbled upon here

Similar to what other folk have said - I joined the patreon cause I rewatch your videos enough that it only seems fair to pay for them, anything new feels more like a bonus! Work is definitely not worth sacrificing health over, wishing you a smooth recovery

i hope youre okay hbomb!

Im just glad you are alive

Just make sure you take care of yourself first :D

As an illustrator/designer with chronic hand pain—do those stretches. Seriously. They will save your fucking life. You must remain healthy, if you are to fulfill the prophecy and destroy our final boss. Godspeed, soldier

Whatever fuels the hate for Adobe man u got this

Bro feel free to take a few more months, waiting for your videos is like waiting for a new Eggers/Aster movie for me rn, as long as the product turns out great we'll manage (.... and rewatch OOF.mp3 for the fivehundredth [is that a word?] time)

Upisnotjump does some amazing work with prosthetics, I'm sure he could get those wrists taken care of in no time 💀. Any video you put out is right up there with the we harvest shadows demo in steam. Don't care how long it takes, just appreciate that it does.

Hey ! So I'm quite new to this universe (of hbomberguy's videos), I've recently watched some of your videos on youtube and seeing as there is no new video since the plagiarism one (aka 2.5 years ago), is that normal ? Most importantly : thanks for the videos, they were really amazing ! And I hope you'll get well, take care of yourself !

After making that outstanding Oof video and the plagiarism expose extravaganza, I think it's safe to say we're getting our money's worth already. Your physical, mental, and emotional health should come before content. Take care of yourself dude. 🫡

if it makes you feel any better i routinely forget that you ever set a deadline, then months later remember i'm subscribed to you on patreon so i open your page to rewatch the backlog of patron videos just to see updates like this that make me go 'it was meant to come out two weeks ago?? he did WHAT to his wrist???' glad you're feeling better at any rate

Yeah yeah we're all familiar with the schedule, we expect one three-hour video every five years and we'll gratefully lap up the num num content - if your hand falls off, where will we be then?

Lindsay Ellis once said in a video about getting a DMCA takedown by wolf erotica writer (and I'm paraphrasing here), Patreon members don't pay for access to quantities; they pay for access to your work - whatever that timeline might be. Subscriptions are there to support that work so you are able to take care of yourself. We are literally paying you to take care of yourself - please do. Also, seriously, as someone who worked in medical massage and PT for 15 years, be very VERY kind to your joints. That pain signal isn't a warning to slow down - that's a stop sign.

absolutely don't rush yourself! im sure we all don't mind being a bit more patient if it puts less strife on you, make sure you take good care of yourself!

Thanks for looking after yourself! And sorry you feel bad.

damn i hope it wasn’t the important wrist mr bi-con

Has there been more chat about premiering the final video at a theatre in California? not sure whereabouts but, at the risk of sounding like a pretentious fuckwit, i’m a “filmmaker” in the bay area (aka i pick up a camera once a year) and know quite a few independent theaters that often work with filmmakers and students etc. and would be happy to share info.

Dude, take care of your wrists. That should come first. You need your wrists to keep creating.

I can't believe Adobe sent someone to take a sledgehammer to your wrist dude, I hope you get well soon 🙏 😔

That wrist is one of the two wrists you will ever have so you better take care of it, as it is very rare.

??

I take full responsibility for delaying the video. I'm sorry guys.

I'm only gonna speak for myself though I expect many of your audience will share the sentiment: I don't spend the time between your video releases stressing over the next one basically at all. I don't get angry and I don't feel betrayed when you haven't release one in a while. My attention to your release schedule is very much limited to thinking "he hasn't posted one in a while, oh well" when you post on here or I get one of your older videos recommended. That's basically it. I have a suspicion that the same kind of narcissism that drives people to make content and share their thoughts and their art with the public can also drive them to believe that their content and their art is as important to everybody else as it is to them and I assure you, it isn't.

Time is meaningless and wrists are not

Can't make videos if you don't have hands! Take your time.

Those updates are great, even when is to say that things might be on hold for a while. Thanks! And take care. I would suggest you giving a look on ergonomic keyboards/trackball, those can be a great investment on health.

Take all the time that you need and rest your wrist!! Wishing you an easy recovery!

We got your back harry we're not your boss, we love you

I'm so glad that you are taking the time to take care of yourself! Wrist health is no joke!

Taking care of yourself is important man, I'd much rather you do that then rush making a video and hurting yourself. I hope your wrist gets better, that shit sucks.

Take your time and take care of yourself. I'll cure any disappointment by watching your Pathologic video for the 267th time 😎

Alright. I'll watch in defense of DS2 again

Now sue Adobe for your injuries.

Thanks Obama /s

Dw my guy, life happens

If you're still here in the US, sorry you had to deal with our medical systen. Also sleep wrist braces are mana from heaven when you find good ones and I swear do 99% of helping my wrists feel good day to day

I jokingly wrote 'I look forward to seeing the draft in August' or something on the last update. Seriously though, take your time and rest up. Helf is welf

Get well soon but get well first :>

we luv hbomb

Take care of those wrists Harry. I'd hate for you to get your hands messed up because of us. I'm trying to get my watch later list cleared out on youtube so that'll hold me over until the adobe vid drops. 👍

so glad to hear you decided to go to a doctor!!!! we need our hands for practically everything, we have to take good care of them. you always deserve health care, even if the video comes out in 2028 [knocks on wood]

I'm not giving money to make you work faster, I'm giving money to make sure your process is free from financial and time pressures. I'm not spending money on a service but on you doing your work how you like. Don't harm yourself in that process please. :^)

I'd prefer you didn't injure yourself just to get videos out sooner. Set a pace you can maintain.

Oh c'mon, ya goober. You know we're chill with it. (Heal up. Rest well.)

buddy i love you videos i dont want you to not be able to make them anymore because you overworked yourself

Always good to see health taken seriously!

I can’t believe you’re choosing your physical health over the Desires of the Masses. The people demand video essays!!!!!! You must deliver regardless of the cost!!!!!!!

Love you Hbomb

if you hurt your wrist forever to rush a video out i will unsubscribe!

Ah, this brings me back to when the ergo people at work came by, watched me work, then took my mouse away. Turns out you're not supposed to scroll horizontally so much with a heavy mouse. Oops? Switched to a lighter, then a vertical and mostly fixed, mostly. Ergo people still dislike me.

HOW VERY DARE YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND PREVENT YOUR WRIST FROM PERMANENT DAMAGE, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL But seriously it's fine, glad your wrist is feeling better. Take your time, the first 90 minutes were already a banger so I'm looking forward to the rest of it

it's ok king 🙏🙏

Health always comes first. For what it's worth, even if you never posted a video again (not saying that will/is happening at all) i would still support your patreon. I think you're a truly genuine soul and i enjoy supporting for that fact alone. Videos are just a lovely bonus.

What's the point in having you rush out this video if you can't make the next one? Now back to taking a break!

As someone who once went "I'll ignore this wrist pain till this project is finished" and ended up fucking up their wrists so bad it took 3 years before I could use my wrists normally again, I am SO GLAD you got it checked. Regular breaks, stretching and doing the exercises will help a lot!

My guy. My expectation has always been "Every once in a while hbomb releases a video and it's an absolute banger". Nobody expects you to work through sickness.

Your health. Matters more. You beautiful twat.

Is fine Bomb. Can manage. Git gud 1st, den post.

Ok so my opinion on this which is obviously the most important because I’m some random dude on the internet who gives you barely any money at all, is you should ease on the pressure a bit. You’re making awesome videos and you need ages for that. We know that. If we would have a problem with you not making deadlines we wouldn’t be here. Give those timelines if they help you or don’t if they don’t… we are a bunch of lefty disorganized people and if you wanted to do stuff fast and bad you would have gone to some media corporation wouldn’t you? So take your time, live healthy and keep in mind the more normal it is to take freetime, vacation and sick days the easier it is for those who have to fight for them. Working oneself to death is counterrevolutionary. (I’m not sure if that works in English thats a common phrasing in the german left “… ist konterrevolutionär!“)

im sure me and most people here donate to help support you as an individual, content is completely secondary to that, hope u get well soon!

All good man. We want you around for decades more. So a few weeks of healing to ensure that in 2047 we get a 6 hour long video on the dangers of Virtual Reality Retirement Homes

dude, don't fucking hurt yourself. Rest.

Hope you feel better in time! Take care of yourself

Please look after your health!

Yeah, Hdumbman, we're not patreons to hold you for ransom!! We just really *appreciate you* Get well, do good, see you later

don't WRIST your health. get it? do ya get it? didja get the joke? eh?

I think that we as your fans would be far more disappointed if we found out you didn't take care of yourself and made things worse for your wrist. As much as we love your videos, you as a person are more important to us.

Good. Don't wrisk it. Again.

it ok

Use ur feet weakling/jk

I've written quite a few posts criticising you for making timelines for the release of new content and then not following thriough on it, and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate this post. I don't know if you've specifically read my comments, but this whole post really makes me feel heard. Thank you. Also, I've said this before, but I'll reeat it here, even as someone who has criticised you for your lack of updates out your output, I think that you should prioritise your physical health over the next video. So thank you, and fuck Adobe.

Take care of yourself first thats all that matters right now

We are waiting months for new Hbomb-videos while still supporting you. Why should waiting another few weeks be any problem, if it means you are looking to your health?

Glad to hear you're looking after yourself. Fwiw, I don't especially care IF there are delays, I care more about receiving a steady drip of updates. Sitting down to summarize what you've been doing every three months or so, even if that's just to describe research dead ends, injuries and ironic reasons for why re-work is required would be good, and would go a long way towards knowing that a project is coming even if it's taking time. I'm happy to let the chef cook for 2 years if I can see them cooking you know?

FWIW speaking as a "patron", I don't feel you owe us any sort of apology! I'm sure the quantity of viewers/backers creates a pressure few can understand, myself included, but please take care of yourself. I also don't feel disclosure of health stuff like this is strictly necessary either, but as somebody who's struggled a lot recently with wrist and joint issues exacerbated by "too much computer work", I sympathize and am both sorry and a bit relieved it's not just me! RSI recovery (if that's the territory you're in at the moment) is brutal and exponentially harder to recover the longer you wait

Thank you for taking care of your health first!

Glad you're looking after yourself, safety first and all that jazz! We'll be here when you're ready

Take care, it is a hazard of using a keyboard a lot, I had a roommate that had supports for his wrist while he was finishing his diss. We do want more HBomb 'content'!

Just to add to the chorus in the comments, thank you for looking after your health :)

Do ur thing king 👑

Now make 5hr video on why wrist pain is a shill illness (Shillness?) Designed to make videos take longer to produce

I always knew Harry would jerk it too hard one day. Get well and Godspeed

Take care of yourself first. We can wait as long as is needed so you can keep functioning without permanent damage or burning out.

"it won't be long" start the clock everyone. just kidding, please take care of yourself funny youtube man

Safety first - and that includes your health. We're here to support you do your thing, and you can't do it if you completely stuff up your body

I'm so glad you're taking more time and dealing with the wrist pain. I had tendonitis so bad in my dominant wrist that multiple doctors initially thought I had a bone fracture. Don't be like me. It does not have to get that bad. I will personally enjoy the video a lot more knowing that you didn't give yourself a permanent repetitive strain injury.

Just like I tell myself and detox patients regarding their mental health and sobriety: "You gotta put your O2 mask on before placing one on another." However, that is regarding our genuine insanity to continue to drink and abuse drugs when we know better, and know we're just gonna die if we continue, so I guess it's a bit different 🤷‍♂️

Take your time. Dont go for the robot hand.

As much as I want more content from you, I would also like you to continue to be capable of making content. Be well

We need that wrist That wrist makes the videos we like More seriously I actually can't believe you listened thank you for taking your health seriously you dumbass Get well soon, video will happen when it happens

I helped 🎖️ You will be free of this soon enough. Picture it. Basking in our adoration. Dodging hit squads. It’ll be so nice

Harry, I give you money so that you can make your art without breaking your body. When you think about it, you've been stealing from me, so I'm glad you knocked it off.

Health always comes first doesn't matter what form it takes if you don't take care of it early just to meet a deadline you're setting yourself up to not being able to do the work at all later on, I am glad you are taking care of yourself and communicated what's going on

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Take care of that wrist, bud. We want you happily jorkin' it for many years to come.

I have chronic carpal tunnel and arthritis (EDS is a bitch, my joints don't work the way they should). I really recommend you get this brace ( https://www.amazon.com/Ace-Deluxe-Left-Wrist-Stabilizer/dp/B074PBMVTB ) and wear it when you sleep. You’d be surprised at the weird angles and slightly fucked up positions your wrist gets into when you sleep, that really do not help recovery. Wear it when it really hurts, and when it starts getting better wear it every-other night, then peter off the usage to only days where you feel you need it bc of the pain getting worse. The idea is to not make your wrists weak and overly reliant on the brace, but to give them a break and make sure they don’t get even more fucked up. I have had this issue for over 10 years, so I can safely say this is a tested and approved method of getting better faster 👍

Your health comes first before anything else. We understand harry!

I'm so glad you took the time to take care of yourself! I promise, we're all fine. It's okay. You can rest. We all want a healthy hbomberguy more than we want a video as fast as possible.

Damn i cant believe adobe gave you wrist pain just to keep your video from being out (But seriously no one is judging you dude take all the time you need <3)

LONG TIME WATCHER, FIRST TIME COMMENTER stepping up to the plate to add my reassurance to the pile! Your health and wellbeing is more important than arbitrary deadlines, though speaking from personal experience (and my own, similar wrist pains!) I know how hard it is to take that reassurance to heart. For what it's worth, there's a small army of us all waiting (mostly) patiently for your return to the Youtube stage! I cannot WAIT to see what is in store! Your video essays and delivery style may have single-handedly converted me to binge-watching longer-format content and your dedicated journalism stands head and shoulders above many so-called "professional" outlets. I'd rather wait and make sure you take all the time you need to produce the project you want than see you rush anything. Take care and good luck! We're all here rooting for ya! (PS: your vindiction in your New Vegas video is the sole reason I gave that game a try and it has single-handedly ruined my life. I can't stop playing it. I even painted myself a New Vegas themed pleather jacket. You monster. How could you.)

We've waited for about two years to get a new video, what's a few weeks more, really? I'd rather have it that way than having the next video delayed by years because you have to go to physical therapy for your wrist. Also, I don't believe in signs or god or whatever. But whenever I arrange a playdate for my daughter with one particular friend of hers in advance, either she, I, the mother of the friend or the friend will be sick once the playdate rolls around. It has been like that too many times to count, so we settled on just deciding on the day of. I mention this because of your last paragraph about the deadline. Shit happens and sometimes it's weird.

hey as long as im immortalized in a video destroying someone's reputation I'll wait as long as necessary (but for real health comes first, we can wait :^) )

If you did not go to the doctor, I would have bitten you. Now, if you continue apologising for taking your health more seriously than the stupid timeline, beware of myow claws _shows paw_

Ive heard editing with your nondominant hand is a similar sensation to sitting on your arm until it goes all numb. That is, profoundly lonely but kind of novel. Gotta watch out tho, if you injure the other one too youll be left with no way to jerk it.

It is done when it is done 🙌🏻

we've waited years mate. we'll wait a little longer. so glad youre looking after yourself! <3

I personally pledged to your Patreon because I believe your work is meaningful. It has already brought me a lot of joy and thoughts to reflect on. So don't stress too much about it. Take care of yourself, Harry!

To put it bluntly, we are knowingly and willingly paying you monthly to support your creative process where you upload a video once every year (ish). I sincerely doubt anyone here cares that it takes a couple weeks longer if it means you taking care of youself. Infact, I'd wager most of us would prefer that you did. Take care of yourself, were fine with waiting.

I'm glad you're trying to take it easy

As long as you are in good health, it doesn’t matter how long the video takes.

Certified real doctor here: it’s a little known fact that wrists are actually completely vestigial. I recommend getting it removed immediately

please do not explode your wrist for the sake of an adobe takedown. you deserve to explode your wrist over something better

Only reason to hurry is that Adobe is doing something in the news and deserves to have its good time ruined by you

I've been filling the gap until a new video with a re-watch of all the Action Button reviews, and I'm only on part 1 of boku no natsuyasumi, so this actually works great for me

At least we’re hearing from you, so we know you’re alive (unless it’s Kat pretending); you’re taking time, so we know it’s not plagiarism (unless it’s a long con, but who’s gonna check?); and you’re communicating at all so we know it’s coming eventually (unless it’s a ploy to keep us perpetually complacent, which would probably work). I’m all seriousness, I’d like to add my voice to the people who would rather you be healthy and enjoy what you’re doing than destroy yourself.

For me, the whole point of being a crowdfunder is not to be a purchaser of content but a salary-payer. As I see it, I'm not paying for videos, I'm contributing to subsidising your life so that videos get made. It's not a violation of the crowdfunding agreement for you to put your life and your health first; it is the fulfilment of it. Please do not feel guilty about taking the time to not maim yourself! Allowing you to do that is what we're here for and what we're paying you for. Please rest and get well and don't worry about us.

Harry, genuinely take care of yourself. We can wait. Your health is more important than anything.

Harry. Mr Brewis. Bomberlove. You aren't our content farm. You're a decadent renaissance artist who we feed, clothe and house despite very, very rarely getting a masterpiece in return.

Take care of yourself boss. We can wait a bit. And it'll be nice for you to stay well and for us to get more videos after just this one, too.

Mr Harris bomber guy a video from you is like a gift from the gods we pray for it but we can only pray the final must be from you our lord and savior

Wrist exercises, you say? Hmm, dare I ask what sort? (Seriously, good on you for getting checked out and for taking the time to heal.)

Don't worry, hbomberguy. Take another year or two. We'll wait.

As your employer, I am going to have to insist that you do not fucking apologize, ever, for putting your health first. The places where employees don't feel comfortable doing that, where they feel they must beg both permission and forgiveness, are miserable shitheaps that happily burn both the well-being of their people and their own long-term productivity for the sake of the satisfaction of knowing that no hands were ever allowed to be idle.

i forgive you

I’ll take the blame if it saves your wrist.

We rather you are well and healthy because we give a shit about ya. Look after yourself.

Hell yes! Way to take care of yourself! And way to go everybody on Patreon for helping encourage it.

I'm happy you're putting your health first :)

Even if you didn't have a perfectly reasonable health excuse I'd still tell you not to worry about it. I try to live by the notion that the artists you love don't owe you anything. Take your time, rest up, looking forward to seeing the video when it's ready. ❤️

No worries. Your health comes first. And besides, we're used to the long wait times, lol. It makes every release of yours feel like Christmases and birthdays wrapped in one. Look forward to seeing it whenever it's done!

If you have to justify why you deserve to be able to look after your health at the expense of a video getting done faster for patreon, think of your health is a long term investment that we're making too. I think we'd all prefer you to get to keep making them into the future rather than having one done faster.

Health first, work second, no exceptions. We can wait

It’s ok Harry fixed wrists can make many video essays. Enjoy your time resting and I can’t wait for the video!

no video is worth your health! take your time! 🤍

Yeah, please take care of yourself Harry.

get rest man!! you’re more important!!

yay wrist health!!

thanks for the update! good luck with the carpal tunnel, my mam has that and it sucks

TBF, I'd hate to think how much longer your videos would take if you died.

get rest! take care of your injuries!! a college friend of mine was a clarinet performance major, and she developed rsi in her wrist and ignored it. then she had to take over half the term to recover basic touch sensation in her forearm and hand and was entirely unable to play that whole time. take care of yourself!!!!

I was largely unaware of the health issues, but I suspect a fair few of us are paying into the patreon out of gratitude for the things you've already done rather than expecting something more.

Speaking for myself, take all the time you need.

Honey. Your health and wellbeing is number 1. Please take very good care of yourself. We'll be here.

was honestly relieved to see this notification pop up, i'm sincerely glad you're putting your health first! like i'm excited for the video ofc but i really don't want it at the expense of you fucking up your body to meet a self imposed deadline. in my mind all you owe me as a patreon supporter is an occasional update as to what you're currently working on so i can decide if i want to keep giving you money to make that thing. that's literally it, that's the extent of the contract to me. im here bc i like what you make and i want you to be able to continue making it. it's gonna take however long it takes, as long as you're as transparent about it as you have been i don't really care that you have to push the upload date back, ESPECIALLY for health reasons (which!!! to be clear includes mental health reasons and trivial things like "deciding to prioritize getting enough sleep and having a healthy work life balance instead of pulling an all nighter to meet a deadline"!!) like who cares when exactly it'll be up, it's not worth jeopardizing your health for in literally ANY way, you can quote me on that forever😤❤️

This isn't pro wrestling and we aren't Vince McMahon. Take a rest, rehab, and come back when you are healthy enough to work without injuring yourself!

"...deserved better than me wasting time on it..." NO! You are spending time, not wasting it. Spend time on yourself! You're worth the time 🙂

Take care of yourself, man. We'd all rather you stay healthy than get a video out by an arbitrary deadline.

It's all good, please focus on your health 🙏

The meat machine requires maintenance, if you do not schedule it then the meat machine will schedule it for you.

Glad you're looking after yourself! Please take the time you need without stressing yourself out about it, your health comes first!

Hbomb, most documentary film makers have an editor or an editing team. I was a script supervisor in the film industry for 5 years. Maybe it's time to consider that while yes you do have people you are still carrying a lot yourself. Editing especially on projects this size is a fundamentally massive undertaking. Your fans, we're all here for you, your art, your work, your journalism, your career. We would love for it to be as long as you want it to be. If you take someone on to train them in editing the way you like it done you'll slow down, yes. But you are slowed down for a very good reason right now and you are not required to be Atlas lifting the sky for the rest of your life. Once they get their feet under them having the new editor will give you flexibility to step down to part-time editing and lengthen your career by saving your wrist. You also need not sacrifice your own editing style and have someone else's artistic skills for visual contrast. If you start looking to hire an editor, I'll even raise my patreon donation. I am a stranger on the internet. You are not required to listen to a word I say. But as someone who spends a lot of time balancing severe chronic health conditions. You as a person shouldn't have to be in pain for the work you love. We aren't all here to pressure you into hurting yourself. We're here because you're a person we care about and we care deeply about your work. This is a marathon and there are many years yet to run.

Health is important. We can wait a bit longer

We're not disappointed. If anything we're relieved you're taking care of yourself!

hey don't worry! you're making like an over 4 hour video with only a few people, when it comes out it will have definitely been worth it, take as long as you need! hope your wrist gets better!

As a crocheter, take the time to rest your instruments!!! For the love of hell!!!

Blink twice if the Adobe lawyers have your wrist in a vice

Genuinely glad to hear the video is delayed so you can take it easy. I'm a crocheter, so I know repetitive strain injuries are Not Worth It. No video essay (or craft project, or commission) is worth permanently damaging your body!

Have you tried life style changes and raw milk? I did that and now I puke all the time

You are worthy. You are loved. You are enough. We look forward to the next content, but not if it costs you your health and sacrifices your ability to continue doing what you love. Wishing you a swift recovery!

Dude, don't worry about it, take care of yourself, please. Wrist stuff is nasty and painful and ignoring it can make it a permanent problem. We'll survive.

Personally I'm glad you are taking care of yourself. I think your patrons know you aren't the kind to always nail definitive timelines and we are more than happy to wait if it means you're ok. Especially after the fallout from the Plagiarism video, this community knows how taxing this can all be on your side of things.

There is nothing to forgive, we don't get mad at you when you take time, especially for yourself. We're not some 1900s robber barons who want you to work through your black lungs. You're doing incredible work, and that takes time.

I'm glad you went to the doctor, that damage can become permanent very easily. Take care of yourself!

Your videos are worth the wait! I'm so glad you listened to everyone! Your wrist is super important to the whole video making process!

Don't be sorry, we're glad you're taking the time to take care of yourself!! And we'll all be stoked to watch the vid whenever it comes out ☺️ Hope your wrist is feeling much better soon!!

harry... laddiebuck, i do not care if it takes five months or fifteen years, so long as you're taking care of yourself properly in the making of. That, to me, is what is important. I'm not here pledging to fill some obligation meter in your head, I'm here to give you support, you goofball. i love what you do and believe you genuinely fucking deserve my pledge as a way to pitch into WHATEVER THE HECK YOU DECIDE TO POUR YOUR LIFE INTO. Especially if it means you can take a month or two off completely from working your arse to dust. remember, the brain gremlins are weaker than us! we can beat them! your worth is not defined by the hours you work, but by the fundamental nature of your existence! don't let the meritocracy looming around you poison the well of creativity and harm your health. i wish to see a five second placard at the start of new videos that states "NO HARRYS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO" and for it to be TRUE. you are worth every word and every dollar regardless of output. GET ALTRUISM'D

Good on you for prioritizing your health! Take your time, we'll be right here.

Wrist problems like this can become debilitating chronic injuries if you don't take care of it early, so thank you for prioritizing your health!

Wrist stuff sucks. I gave myself dequervaines tendonitis and ended up needing surgery. Always better to engage that ounce of prevention

Another YouTuber I watch made a video about how he's a workaholic, pushed through the pain and got tendonitis in his wrist. He switched to using his other hand for editing/computer work and got tendonitis in his other wrist too. Take care of yourself.

I'm genuinely torn. I want to tell you not to change your process for making videos, especially your more recent videos, but I'm realizing that is very selfish and you totally deserve to rejoin your IRL friendships and also not destroy the joints in your handparts. I also want to tell you that you shouldn't apologize so much because everyone who has patron'd you understands that the Hbomb videos are just done when they're done, but I'm realizing that this conscientiousness is part of what makes you you and it's a vital ingredient in the secret sauce of these videos. Anyway long story short, I'm sorry for not having terribly much useful to say and also thank you for all your hard work and also I hope you return to full wrist-having functionality in due course. My mother is so proud.

take it easy on the wanking for a bit

I'd much rather have a delayed hbomb vid than the last one ever tbh

you deserve grace, dude. you have some of the most integrity of anyone I've ever seen on youtube, and it seems im not the only one who thinks that. plus, who hasn't underestimated their negative health before?

that'll teach ya to disregard your health like that again !! glad you're on the up and up, take your time!!

Please get yourself the DaVinci Speed Editor ($300-ish) and a Color Panel ($600-ish), they will both save you time and wrists! Unless you have them already in which case buy one for your friends to save them time.

it fine. hope you’re ok dude

Take the time and hope you feel better! Really appreciate the updates as well so keep them coming as long as your wrist doesn't snap off

Healthy wrist outweighs an arbitrary editing schedule.

hope you feel better soon, thank you for the update

I need you to keep patching your mortal shell just so long as I inhabit mine

I feel that this video is cursed; set yourself free and release it.

Worth waiting a little longer for your health. Truly you could release a video every other year and I'd still be overjoyed. Good food takes time to cook, glad to hear you're taking care of yourself :)

Happy that you're taking the time to look after yourself. You only get one wrist (on each arm) so don't permanently fuck it over the sake of a few more weeks. Sending love 💜

Bestie looking after your health is not wasting our time! We are here to actively fund your wellbeing! Take as long as you need Monsieur Bomber ♥️ we’ll happily wait

lmao of course

Thank you for taking care of your health you idiot c:

I don't think carpal tunnel can kill you, but you'll wish you were dead. Take it easy.

Take care of yourself!! It's ok ♥️ looking forward to puppets etc when they're ready

Harry, that is not lying. Lying would be making a promise that you knew you would not keep and/or willfully breaking it for no good reason. Health is a very good reason! Please take care of yourself, we'll wait patiently here. And thank you for updating us so we know why it's delayed 😊

Seriously it’ll be done when it’s done, health and the creative process are two things you should never rush!

We love you hbomb get better soon

I also have wrist issues because of my work, switched over to this vertical mouse and my issues are mostly resolved Logitech Mouse MX Vertical, 910-005448

GOOD TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

You know it is really Adobes fault! Their last evil trick was to maim you. Well foiled again! The proprcrastinating video essayists lives to be a nuisance another day!

You are thoroughly forgiven, and I'm very impressed you've been doing your exercises! I always forget after about two days and only remember to do them once every three weeks or so thereafter. And as a patron, I would much rather wait longer knowing that you're taking good care of yourself than have the thing Right Now while you're injuring yourself and causing yourself months of pain and recovery down the line. We love sustainability in this Patreon!

As someone who has chronic wrist pain GOOD. Take it easy and don't let it get too bad, there's a point of no return and you do NOT want to get there

your health is the most important part man! the video can wait and i truly mean that. just take your time and release it when you are ready

Good on you for putting your health first-- it's important. If you feel bad, just blame it all on Adobe! They did this to you!

rest rest rest rest rest rest it's fine take care of your self you have my permission

How DARE you take care of yourself, we're all seriously offended. JK, heal up nerd. Looking forward to spending 4 hours glued to my screen again!

We've waited this long. Whats a little longer?

I would rather have a delayed video, with you happy and healthy. Please take the time you need.

please do not toby fox yourself just to give me a new sleep aid its not worth it

id defintely be more disapointed if your hand fell off and then it grew a consciousness of its own and decided to terrorize and kill people, then having to wait a little bit longer. thats probably what wouldve happened, so if you think about it you are not only preventing your own death, but the death of thousands. so no apology neccesary <3

No worries man, your health ALWAYS comes first! Don't kill yourself over a video deadline.

Take care of yourself!! I’m glad you’re caring for your wrist instead of grinding a deadline

your health is the most important thing, not your work

PLEASE don't put yourself in pain or risk of more permanent injury for a youtube video! And ESPECIALLY not for a viewer such as I! I find it a great time to practice some of that solidarity and ideals of sustainable work places, so please please, take your time! Updates and snip bits are lovely, and I'm so excited to see the final thing Especially if I can enjoy it without feeling bad about it!

The amount of artists and creatives I follow who are posting about their wrist pain in the last year who are all not too dissimilar in age from me has me really worried ngl. Like we all spend way too much time On The Computer, it’s gonna come for us all at some point.

wrist pain is no joke!! i’m really glad you’re taking care of yourself

as someone with carpal tunnel in both hands from ignoring when I was clearly hurting them: nothing is more important than your health. in 20 years you won’t remember this deadline but you’ll still have the same wrists. Big fan of menthol rubs for pain

I've been disappointed a lot, but never by someone taking care of themselves, hbomb. Get rid of that neoliberal brainworm telling you that you owe us anything and rest up. Hope the wrist feels better soon!

Hbomb got screw worm its over

Please take care of yourself more Health is more important

Thank you for the transparency, and continue to take care of yourself!

Speaking as a librarian: take care of your wrists! I wouldn't want to watch a video knowing that the person who made it hurt themselves in the process

Dude, you're (im my opinion) one of the greatest video essayists of all time. Your videos are often longer than movies, and this one legit has a movie set to go with it too. You inspired me to start thinking critically about the world around me, which lead me to eventually start studyin philosophy and in the spread of misinformation. You are allowed to take breaks, because good things take time, and your videos are one of the best things out there. How long do movies take to make ? How big are the teams working on them ? You have a team of, like, what, four people ? Its good dude.

Your only got two wrists. Please take care ♡

I'm glad you have managed to expunge the filthy lie that you don't deserve to fix your health because of patrons expectations. I obvs can't speak for everyone, but I'm here to support you, not behave like a shareholder and demand profits/performance at any cost! Do the care and stay healthy, as your boss I demand it.

Nah, that's all good, man! We'll happily take the "blame" for this delay. Health and safety first 👍 Adum from YMS had a similar injury while working on the Lion King video, except he decided to "power through", ruined one hand, switched to his other hand, ruined that one too, then he couldn't work at all for a pretty long time because of it. Not 100% sure but i think his wrists never fully healed after that, and the video he did it for only covers like a third of the movie, so it wasn't even really worth it at the end. Never take health concerns lightly.

I don't think any of us expected a video in 2 weeks. Things tend to take longer than planned. I'm glad you're taking care of your health. We'll need your wrist to be okay until there are reliable, voice-operated versions of all the tools you use. But, given the topic of this video, that might never happen or get immediately killed by Adobe.

I appreciate you taking care of yourself but also I was really counting on collecting your wrist bones when you were done with them sooo.

I’d rather you take care of yourself than have a video.

Bro needs an ergonomic keyboard. Fr tho let your body get the rest it needs!!!

Thank you for prioritizing your health! That is the most important thing. We can be patient. :)

We'll live video or no video. Ur wrist on the other hand is Dying Now. Or i mean not the other hand just that same one i think

Glad you are taking care of yourself 😊 btw I’m pretty sure most of us here as patrons already know that your videos might take a while and we don’t mind the delays bc your videos are always of such amazingly high quality. We knew what we signed up for lol. We don’t mind if it takes a bit more if it means you feel better! We order you to do a self care! Get some rest and relaxation, idiot! We love you❤️

What’s the bad outcome here? People who like you enough to give you money change their calendars? Maybe go “awww” and get on with their day? Rest! Your body needs it, and we all get it. Well maybe not the Americans and their 0 days sick leave but everyone else :p

Knowing that Hbomb it's always going on absurd investigatory quests and one day comes back with doctorate level videos is kind of all the assurance I need. And ultimately your worth isn't merely what you produce, it's what you mean to other people. A lot of Hbombs work brings me a lot of hope and his jokes make me laugh. I hope your recovery goes well Harry.

You could take another 6 months and I would still say thank you. Quick question, do you still plan on doing a movie theater-esque release of your video as a meetup thing? No pressure whatsoever but if you were going to I'd like to recommend the Frida in Santa Ana because it's a cute little nonprofit art house theater with good vibes and they're playing the celluloid closet this month for pride and it made me think of you. Slow down and heal yourself, thank you!!

If it helps you: Good health now means more Harris bomb content in the future, which is a value add to your patrons. But more importantly you get to have good health because you are a person.

I heard the method was to actually maximize misery. Next time you should replace your computer mouse with flaming hot coals in order to remain the most productive!

no worries hbomb at least you gave a really good excuse as promised. might have to dock some points off for no photos of you in the hospital though lol. hope your wrist gets better btw

Taking care of your health is never wasted time

What if I dont forgive you tho

Wristicular woes are nothing to sneeze at! I can't imagine anyone would be unhappy with you taking care of your health ☺️

As someone with wrist issues it's better to have to wait longer for a video than push through and make it worse and potentially deal with it for a Long time 😅 Take care of your health first and we'll enjoy the video whenever it's ready!

Harris, your patrons are not stupid. We know that you will take a while making videos so don't beat yourself up over it.

I forgive you

Take care of yourself :)

the eternal cycle continues "hello my patrons. I would like to destroy myself on the mill of your favour. surely you want me to do more faster despite the stress on my body and mind" followed by a chorus of "no you dipshit I'm giving you money because I like you. take care of yourself better" I feel like every patreon has some variation on this exchange at least once

I'm sorry, I was of the understanding that my Patreon pocket change entitles me to the knowledge that you will slave in the mpeg mines until your hands fall off. Unacceptable. The shareholders will be very disappointed.

It's okay to give a definite deadline, but then to cause disappointment when something unexpected happens and you have to push it back. You must be more indulgent with yourself.

Even more of an incentive to donate to your Patreon so we can see the sneak peeks and quench our thirst

Please don't apologize for taking care of your health. We can always see the video later. Ruining yourself to get it out sooner isn't worth it.

I rather read "sorry, delay" than "can't make videos anymore, wrist is fucked"

Please take your time and feel better!

I don't support you financially because I expect you to sacrifice your health for a timeline. Take care of yourself

Take care of yourself first and foremost!!

please take care of yourself! we can watch plagarism and tommy tallarico in the meantime again, don't worry :)

glad you're taking care of yourself!

If you only look after yourself once you're satisfied with your work, you'll just be bones

No worries Harry!!!! Can’t wait to see it while you are still alive

Havana Syndrome but it's Adobe sending microwaves through the wall to injure your wrist.

Either you can take time for maintenance or maintenance will take the time for you. We care infinitely more about your health than a missed deadline 💕

I'd rather never receive another video essay again than have you injured yourself just to get one out. Always be looking after yourself. We all deserve to be well and looked after.

This entire post is so relatable and I'm glad you listened and took the break. When it comes out we'll still be here! Please don't stress and take care

You only get two wrists my dude. I've had four surgeries on my right arm for nerve compression. It sucks. Take care of the wrist issue NOW, before you have lifelong pain, numbness, complications, etc.

Well Done, take care man. The video will be great whenever it is done

Don't die, sources say it's bad for your health

If we wanted videos on a specific timeline none of us would be here haha, do what you gotta do

Don't worry about the deadline😁 not reaching pretty normal(weirdly enough), but you communicate about it ! And that's very much appreciated. Please take care of yourself!

You don’t deserve to suffer because of this, Harry. You deserve to suffer for other reasons but not this specifically.

Think about it this way - if you didn't take time to rest and heal now, there would be a bigger gap between future projects, and it would just be worse for your health, etc! Taking care of it now stops the cycle, baby!

I am disappointed that you are breaking out of your protestant iron cage and not channeling your imposed entrepreneurial spirit in order to work to death in service of capital. How can you be willing to disappoint daddy capitalism!?!?!? /s

Wrist pain ain’t great. I’m a programmer and in my 3rd year of my career I started getting a lot of pain. Luckily with some exercises and better equipment everything is good again, and it’s never come back! Ergonomic mice are great and saved my wrists, I still have a clacky mechanical keyboard though, just with a good wrist wrest. Best of luck dude, you’ll be okay eventually!

🫩 dont apologize for doing what everyone should be doing (taking care of their health)

Why are you apologising for looking after your health? Glad you are on the mend. I promise you getting your videos out a little earlier isn't worth hurting yourself for. Thank you for the update though it's really apreciated

Health comes first. Take care.

How dare you take care of yourself... is the joke I'd like to make, but I totally get where you're coming from. Looking at the other comments here, I think it's safe to say we all would rather you were healthy and running behind rather than injured and in constant pain but providing us with content. If anything, take credit in the fact that this is the community you fostered!

Hey even for minor things I'd rather see you take care of yourself. As a viewer of MittenSquad and Cimoooooooo, health updates from creators I like scare me these days, even little ones. Much happier to know you took care of yourself instead of hurting your health for a quicker release!

I'm one of the people who made a minor injury much worse by ignoring it. You're doing the right thing.

Don't beat yourself up! When the video does come out, we'll enjoy it more knowing that you didn't destroy your wrist forever while making it.

I think the subject matter is likely to stay relevant for a little while longer

do not destroy your body on the computer. because then it's harder for you to use the computer

You’re good dude, take it easy

Yeah I don't think being disappointed about a delay in a video is the most urgent part here, take care of your damn wrist

Your videos are worth waiting for. Put your health first ❤️

i’m also an editor and wrist and hand injuries from overuse are SUPER common. one of my coworkers was recently forced to take a month-long break because of a wrist injury. good on you for keeping on top of your health before the issue got worse!

No, I don't forgive you

Good, you take care of yourself. If you didn't it would make the production unethical, and it would make us all robber barons exploiting your health for content. And I don't think that's the vibe we're going for. Get well soon <3

Please, Don't Worry About It. The time it takes to look after one's health is never wasted.

As someone with tendonitis in both hands because they didn't listen when people told me to chill. There's no way I'd be upset about a delay due to health reasons. Anyone who is actually upset is just short-sighted and entitled. Take care of yourself first!

Wrist in peace

Bro, health always comes first. Dont be a dumb dumb.

*flames engulfing the city* COOL BUD. GOT OTHER SHIT IM WORRIED ABOUT. YOU GOOD.

having an hbomberguy who can make videos beyond this one is infinitely more important to me than having this video a little sooner. take care of yourself!

I've witnessed multiple creators who had to quit because of editing-induced wrist pain. It's not worth it. Glad you're being sensible.

We are here because we believe in you and value the work you do! Take care of yourself, Harry, please. We can wait a bit longer, your health is our priority! (Thank you for informing us of what's going on, though. Just so we know that Adobe hasn't put out a hit out on you (how short sided of them lol))

I mean this in the nicest way possible: your work is not urgent. While I am certain the topic is important and I'm looking forward to it, it is not an emergency that you publish it ASAP. I hope you never are in the position where it is so urgent to publish a video by a specific date that you need to sacrifice your health. Sorry if that comes across as mean. I just know I don't feel better when people say "it's ok" when I miss a deadline. I feel better when I put it in perspective.

Oh no mr. bomber, not another delay!!! (I’m getting off on it by this point) On a more serious note - hope your wrist gits gud

Take care of yourself! It's never worth ruining your body for an imaginary deadline

Prioritise your health. I'm paying for this thing fully knowing I'm lucky if I get a video a year. No false advertising here, I knew what I was signing up for and I wouldn't change a thing 👍

Get soon!

As someone who nearly fucked up their wrists attempting to speedrun studying, please take care of it. I was damn lucky that I was juuuust skirting around seriously fucking it up, but that was through sheer fucking dumb luck. Take as long as you need!

Taking a bit of extra time to get something done will make a much bigger impact on your life than it will on mine. Take however long you need. Would rather have you happy and enjoying your work than miserably churning out #content to feed to machine

You think we support this channel for on-time videos? Nope, we support this channel because we get exceptional content on an unpredictably long frame. Get well, friend!

Me mam had carpal tunnel surgery when I were a nipper and she described it to me in detail (she watched, because she's Like That) and while it did indeed sound very cool, the inside of your arms like this, it did convince me to look after my goddamn wrists!!!!

We want to see you make stuff for as long as possible, taking care of yourself makes that possible, in addition to not wanting someone we care about to be hurting. Take it easy

Was it all the wankin'?

As someone who's gotten wrist fucked in the past it is definitely no joke, glad to hear you're taking the time you need! We've waited this long we can definitely wait a bit longer, rest up boss!

i think you should make us wait a full year for the vid, regardless of your injury. i do hope that it gets better tho💔

Please take your time and don't fuck up your wrist too much!

thank you for taking care of your health

Don't let Big Adobe take out your tendons! That's what they want to prevent this video being released!

Plus, like, what's the point of being your own boss if you're going to end up pushing yourself to meet deadlines to the detriment of your health? Give your wrist the rest it needs and try not to worry about us. Get well soon; not so you can finish this off but because I'd just generally rather you be well, you know? :)

Man fuck a deadline, you could scrap the whole vid if you wanted and it wouldn't make a difference in my sub. Please always at the bare minimum don't cause yourself bodily harm over it. Just take care and get to it when you get to it <3

Fun fact about horses, in the stories they get shot if they break a leg and can't run anymore. No one wants to see you get terminated for woundgn your arm (although it would br poetic to find some truth in the scam regarding the existence of horses.)

Thank you for looking after your health king

Hey Harry! Happy to have the update, and am sure it is worth the wait. I started art school a year ago, and I've been having associated wrist pain myself these past few months. Learning that my body is not an invincible machine was a big shock and horror, so now I'm begrudgingly trying to learn how to pace myself, so I can hopefully have a long and pain free career. I guess it's a marathon, not a sprint. All this just to say, I relate to this and your previous post, and am happy to hear that you're taking steps to ensure this video won't be your last lol :^) best of luck!

Feel better bossman

I'm glad you're actually taking care of yourself! It's worth it always. (Personal story: I lost a full month to a wrist injury a few years back, and then had to take it easy for a few weeks after that. It was miserable and nerve wracking at the time, especially since my job was also on hold, but four years later, I do actually thank my past self for taking care of it properly instead of trying to rush.)

I can't believe Adobe would do this

It's ok we'll just keep rewatching the plagiarism video

you can't rush art take care of yourself bro u all got this :)

So happy you are taking care of yourself. Maintaining the physical therapy exercises dramatically improves recovery so please keep them up even when you feel somewhat better. You got this!

Its okay, im sure I speak for most of your audience when i say we'd prefer you be healthy and doing well rather than posting the video and harming yourself. Don't let the capitalist, puritanical work philosophy we all unfortunately live in drive you to harming yourself or remove the joy from creation because if you injure yourself in the pursuit of hitting a deadline it will drive the joy from it

No rush, your health comes first :) take care and all the time you need.

Literally nobody who read "It will be done in two weeks" expected it to be done in two weeks. :) Take care of yourself! We want to see your next video in 2029 and not 2034!

Nah man your health is more important than a video

Happy you’re prioritizing your health. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹

You can't be doing battle with Adobe with a busted wrist! Take care of yourself, Mr. Bomberguy

Take care of that wrist, the video will come when it comes!

Health comes first always!!!

Don't apologize for having a fallible human body, take care of yourself ✌️

Whew, glad to know it's "just" a wrist problem, always hard to not assume the worst when the headline is "health update"

literally nothing is worth ruining your health if you can afford not to. a youtube video especially

It's okay, please take care of yourself.

Take care man. I’m glad you are choosing a sustainable pace over a mad dash to the finish line. I know that’s hard to choose sometimes.

Genuinely, and I mean this truly, I care more about your health than about your art. Looking forward to the latter but relieved to hear you're prioritizing the former

it's worth it harry good for you for taking care of yourself. i am an artist with carpal tunnel in both wrists and just know it's better to deal with it now than later lol

I don’t presume to speak for everyone here, but here I go anyway : we love you and we prefer you to always prioritize your health. I could follow apocryphal Miyamoto quote on delays and how they’re okay, but I probably won’t survive the eye rolls (imagined or otherwise). As long as you’re good, we’re good. I’ll take 10 more years of Hbomb over 5 days earlier video drops followed by wrist-injury-induced psychosis or whatever else might cut me off from your content for good.

taking care of yourself is number one!! thank you for the update and take care of yourself more

Tommy's Mom is very proud of you for taking care of your health.

I think people would be happy to wait a bit longer. No video is worth ruining health over.

If you don’t take care of yourself, the next video will take even longer!! I guess we also hope you’re well and all, but mostly it’s self interested actually 😂

One of us is a mind reader, because I just opened ur patron page to check what was happening, and this post appeared imediatly... I HOPE YOUR WRIST FEELS BETTER SOON!

Take it easy man! You absolutely deserve the downtime to prioritize your health!!

Get better soon id keep it chill

I think we’d all much rather be maybe a little disappointed about waiting just a wee bit longer than to hear that you permanently messed up your wrist trying to push a video out- please prioritize your health first and take care of yourself!! You deserve to give yourself some grace! We aren’t going anywhere!!

Bruh if you only ever put out the stuff already on your channel to date, I won’t be disappointed. I think I speak for everyone when I say that, and add that I’d hate to see Hbomb fall off by releasing a video that wasn't done yet due to wrist-issues for the sake of releasing another video quickly. Do you. We’ll be here. Stop apologizing for being a responsible and professional adult. We're looking forward to the next one, so take your time and make it right. You'd hate to see Valve rush out Episode 3.

Thanks for addressing the wrist! If you’re injured, under intense pressure, or otherwise crunched, your ability to do your job will suffer and the video will be worse. I really appreciate you taking the time to heal and make sure the video is actually good. Would also appreciate if you stopped being so apologetic about running the show in a healthy and productive way, but I’m not like mad about that.

👍

For what it's worth, I and (I'd imagine) a lot of people on here are subscribed as a way to tip for previous videos of yours. We knew what kind of post schedule we signed up for, please look after yourself.

a delayed hbomb is eventually good, but a rushed hbomb is forever destroyed by the weight of his hubris

THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF!!!!

Hey you have a better release schedule than Frank Ocean so I think you’re fine

I will always prefer a hbomberguy taking his time to recover any day over a hbomberguy rushing out a video impacting his health!!! Please take care of yourself first, always! You should never feel like you dont deserve to rest or take care of yourself. Let yourself recover before you hurt yourself further, the more you push your wrist, the more I fear it would risk becoming a permanent problem, which no one would want :^( take your time!

Take care and don't stress. Looking forward to the video when you feel better.

Runied my wrist onces because I had to use mortar and pestle for too long. I feel you.

Dude your health trumps your job, even if it's cool like yours.

Glad you're taking care of it, and very glad we're getting an update. We like updates 🫶

thanks! this is the right thing to do🙏 looking forward to the video, but always put yourself and health first

I for one am *actively glad* you're taking the time to heal. Your health absolutely comes first, and I'd feel really sad if you rushing to meet a deadline resulted in you getting further injured. So take as long as you need; we'll be here :)

Take care!

good job on both taking yourself to a doctor right away and also keeping us up to date right away!! your health is far more important than any youtube video could ever be, i'm very happy to hear you're taking care of it (even if it's just at our behest lol)

Good to hear you're looking after yourself. Don't think of it as disappointing your patreons. Looking after your health ensures that you'll be able keep producing great content for us for years to come, so everyone wins in the end this way.

It's done when it's done. Get well!

Glad you're taking care of yourself. Repetitive stress injuries are no joke.

Respectfully, I think we would all prefer you not die and get a late video than you have a forever messed up wrist and we get no videos!!! Please be healthy!!!

Don't ruin your wrists for us hbomb we can wait a few more weeks to know the video came out with you in good health!!

Think about it this way, if you don’t look after yourself now, we might be waiting 8 years for the next video. Health comes first 🩷

don't prioritise content over your health, changes in timeline happen.

I don't want a video at the cost of someones health. Rest up

Harry, you make multi-hour-long videos on niche topics once an eternity. By now you should rest assured that the people that stick by you are here for you, the person, and what amalgamation of science and art you personally serve. We are not shareholders, we are fans, fans of you personally, so please for the love of Sobek, start looking out for yourself: you are literally the 'product'.

your health is very important and it should always take priority over getting a video out by a deadline, we'll understand if you need to take more time

Harry, since you seem very worried that the patrons deserve better than this update, please hear it from us that this is a very good update to read!

Glad you are taking care of yourself ! Health comes first

You are forgiven, take care of yourself!

God damn those commenters! This is all their fault! Don't they realize great art requires suffering?! (I am kidding obviously. I'm glad that you were able to see a doctor. We are all here because we support you, and you 1000% deserve to be treated with care, including by yourself 💜)

I still occasionally deal with wrist pain from an injury I sustained over 10 years ago because I didn't go to the doctor when I hurt it. Future you will be grateful!

We want you to make more cool videos. If the consequence of making sure you live long enough to make at least six more is that the current one takes a while longer to come out I think that's well worth the wait. On a less selfish note, slightly more personal satisfaction when it comes to professional goals isn't always worth the extra strain. There's always a little more time to work later on if you get tired of resting. Also, please renew the link for the discord when you get the chance.

I’d rather this video take longer and you stay healthy than you churn this one out and then no more videos ever because no more wrists.

Take your time dude

I'm glad you're taking care of yourself

taking care of yourself is never a waste of time

>:| Look after your health!!!! I’m looking forward to the video, but no piece of entertainment is worth compromising on that!

im glad you took care of yourself!

Wrist RSI is a bastard, definitely best to rest it. It's the only thing that solves it unfortunately! As you're self-directed, you have made the right choice in resting yourself. I have to work through it and book holiday off to rest it, which is much worse (and also kinda just me being a workaholic)

No need to stress, it's done when it's done.

Prioritise your health, you dope! Not a single one of us thinks our patience is more important than your wrist! Sorry for calling you a dope. Thanks for the update. Best of luck!

I'm not a paid patron but I do agree and I'm glad your patrons made you to see a doctor!!!

I can, in fact, wait to be thoroughly edutained. Take your time you sweet english bald man.

We're here and waiting as long as it takes, patrons are always there behind you because of your content, not because of timelines! 💜💜💜

It's okay! Your health is important we love you and I speak for everyoen in this comment section YES EVEN YOU JIM, YOU SIGNED OVER POWER OF ATTORNEY AND NOW YOU AND YOUR WIFE HAVE TO WATCH ME DECIDE WHO YOU LOVE!!

Dude. Thanks for the videos and all but it'd be cool if you didn't permanently injure yourself to make one come out slightly earlier. And also if you follow the logic where more videos = better, yeah this one might be out a bit faster but the lasting damage might make future videos take longer so at the end of the day it's a lose-lose situation either way.

Take care of yourself. We can wait.

Harry, please take care of yourself. Would you tell a random person onto the street that they HAVE to keep preforming for you no matter how tired they are, just because you put a tenner in their hat? Be kinder to yourself!

Your older stuff has so much rewatch value, take your time

Only be sorry you weren't taking care of yourself!

No apologies required. Take care of your health. Remember, schedule maintenance for your body, or your body will schedule it for you.

Just take care of yourself. We can wait.

Proud of you! Glad you're prioritizing your wellbeing. The longing will make the video that much better.

Harry, remove the wrist, become Borg be the first person to switch sides in the upcoming robot revolution. Also feel better and relax and all that but also become Borg. It'll be cool!

Please also make sure you also get at least 5-6 hours of sleep each day. As a paying customer, this is a direct order.

the only thing I'm disappointed about was that this post didn't begin by calling us worms or beetles

You have nothing to apologize for. Your health is important, not getting RSI or carpal tunnel is *very important* (and in purely practical terms, would have made it much harder for you to continue making videos! It sucks! It's a work injury in the same way that people can accrue sports injuries!) This is the best decision you could have made for yourself and your patrons.

As someone who also has a wrist pain issue at the moment: you should definitely look after it

Focus on your wellness 🧡

It’s no worries please don’t hurt yourself 🙏

we’d much rather u be well, even if the video is delayed !!

Two is the minimum number of hands we would like you to have. That is prioritised above video dates.

Yes! Take care of yourself! I have a friend who powered through the wrist pain for a job and is now permanently disabled. Definitely worth it to postpone the video and rest up!

Very happy you are on wrist-rest. No-one here wants you to die of wrist! That's how Adobe wins!!!

"A delayed video essay is eventually good.., a rushed video essay stops the guy making them from being able to make them at all" - Shigeru Miyamoto Pretty sure that's the quote

I'm glad you're taking care of yourself! pushing now isn't worth more serious pain down the road, truly. you're doing a great job ❤️

While my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined, I'd still rather you focus on your health. If you thought you could rush it out in 2 weeks, you'll still have it done in no time at your own pace I'm sure! Excited to see the finished work

All is forgiven except that jumpscare of a title!! Get well soon hburgerman

Please take your time to rest!! The body keeps score and the communication is much appreciated -- it'll be ready when you're ready and I trust that your fans (especially patrons) will be patient. Thanks for sharing your work with the world!

I'd rather you be healthy and make more and better content in the long term than burn your health to get it done sooner. Take care of yourself comrade

You deserve to be healthy! Take care of yourself. We can wait for a while longer.

Lol boss i pushed through it and im now unemployable in my trade and cant earn in my career - you did a good thing slowing down! Will wait eagerly for your work

I wouldn't want anyone to work to the point of hurting themselves, not even a stranger, let alone someone I've followed for years. Nobody would.

"Adobe Must Die" ❌️ "Wrist Pain Must Die" ✅️

Fucking goober, don't apologize for taking care of yourself!

You should get some wrist (I’m so sorry)

You gotta take care of yourself first and foremost

Bro get some rest and take your time (also as an fyi on my Tomadachi Life island you're deeply in love with my dog who is ambivalent about you)

Well, you can always make a video but hands not so much.

Take care of ur health☺️

All is forgiven🫰🫶

This is rapidly turning into Harry’s Sagrada Família.

Thank you for looking after yourself. Please don't rush or risk anything because of demand for content, realmor imagined 🧡

Just take care of yourself, that's the main thing. I'm pretty sure all of us on here feel the same.

we prefer you being well over a new video, take care we love you

Glad you are taking care of yourself!! If you kill yourself for us then capitalism wins!!

we love you

Never apologise for prioritising your health! Take the time you need to take care of yourself and don't rush anything! :)

Your well being should always come first please look after yourself

Health is most important! Hope your wrist issues heal up soon.

Maybe go to therapy too - sounds like you're not being very kind to yourself.

Please tell me you've got a wrist brace as well as exercises?

Don't destroy your body to make an internet video dingus, take the time you need.

we can wait :)

Nah dude, don't even worry about it. Things happen, your health is way more important than getting a video done faster. We'll still be here when it's ready!

I'd rather wait more than the videos taking even longer because you permanently injured your wrist. I hope you recover well, your health matters more

Rest up bruh, art takes time. We've waited this long

Get well soon!

Thank you for putting your health first! It would suck if you died and we got no videos ever, so a video delayed because you're taking care of your wrist is WAY better

Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself! Keep it up!

Urgh fine I guess your health is more important

Just say it'll be out when it's out, then you don't have to justify shit.

i would rather you never upload again than know that overworking yourself caused permanent damage!! feel better!!!

Fuck work ethic, if you die it won't get done, period. We can wait for a video, being healthy is critical.

big dog we’re here for you, i’m chill with waiting like 5 years for another video if it means you’re happy and healthy in the process

Please take care of yourself and stop jinxing things!!! ❤️

You’re still not going to the hospital as much as Markiplier so you’re fine

Look after yourself first. The video can wait, a fucked up wrist for years to come can't.

Take care of yourself, we've waited this long: its not a bother to wait some more for your health

get well soon diva!

Get well soon you lovely sod x

Take care of yourself!

Dude it's okay please recover 🙏🏽

However disappointed we are that a video is delayed, we would be much more disappointed if you hurt yourself just to meet an internet promise. Take care of yourself.

No need to apologize, we've waited two years already. Another few weeks really isn't all that bad. Your health is more important than rushing the video out.

no worries we know ur an old man who needs his rest

I kiss your wrist better

Harry, please always prioritize health over definitive deadlines. Thank you!

stop apologizing you idiot!!! i’m gonna bite your ear clean off if you don’t take care of your basic health necessities!!!!

I will not forgive you because there is nothing to forgive. Thank you for taking care of yourself!

Glad you’re taking care of yourself💖

Hello Hbomb! Chronic pain haver here! You did the right thing by addressing this now rather than waiting until later. The video will be finished when it's finished but your health can't wait. That's what makes the little problems big ones. Take your time, rest and recover. We'll still be here when it's ready! Remember, you're always worthy of care. If the voices in your head try to argue otherwise, then your fans will be here reminding you instead.

Thank you for seeing a doctor! Orthopedic problems rarely clear up on their own and frequently get worse if you just try to rest the bit that hurts. I hope the treatment works for you! No one should have to accept potentially permanent injury to sit at a computer and work when you could take a break and just make that work later, you deserve better than that

Take your time, we'll be here

Please take care of yourself! Your health always comes first and I'm sure all of us are more than happy to wait 🫶🏻

You're always worth the wait

take care dude ☀️

Don't worry about the video. Just make sure you take care of yourself. Get well soon you worm ❤️

Health always comes first! Take care of yourself Harry, we don’t want you to hurt yourself over a YouTube video. Best wishes and I hope your wrist recovers soon 🫶

We are so glad you're prioritizing your health. Yes, keep doing that. We love your videos, obviously, but our fix can wait- your body Won't.

Please take care of yourself my friend! Your content makes all of us myself included happy, and excited so if your health and well being is the price of a video made Safely, and within your sphere of self care then I am happy to wait and I bet everyone else who supports you feels the same way! ^^
