Wooden Update: summer schedule + some other updates
Yo, what's up everyone.
Quick update: I initially had two break weeks planned from August 21st to September 3rd. I'm moving one of these break weeks to late September. So the summer schedule will look like this:
My reasons for doing this were as follows:
- The first break is not going to be a break week at all, but a week in which I (hopefully) finally finish the Patreon portraits that A LOT of people are still entitled to. We've been chipping away at them over the past few months but I hope to finally finish them all in the break week from August 21st until the 27th.
- I get depressed by the Dutch fall/winter so my plan is to go sunny Spain in late September to soak up a shitload of vitamin D and then hopefully the fall/winter won't feel as long this year, lol.
And yes, Shitpost Week will return in all its shitty glory in September as well.
We've been slowly losing Patrons over the past year, although the decline hasn't been very alarming yet, so I'm still very proud and grateful to be supported by you lovely people. I do realize that in order to keep growing (which is what we all apparently have to strive for in this capitalist society), we should come up with some fresh ideas and types of content to keep things interesting both for existing and new supporters. The problem is that I refuse to come up with anything new before finishing the Patreon portraits, because some of you have been waiting for years now. It would be plain bad manners if I'd come up with fun new rewards while neglecting one I still have to deliver.
So, long story short: I'm finally going to finish the old Patreon reward portraits this month and when that's finally done, we'll come up with ways to refresh this Patreon a bit and hopefully recapture the growth we witnessed during the Everyone is Dead arc. Mayhaps it's time for Thursday Thirstday...?
If you have any suggestions for goals or rewards, I'd love to hear them! I've also been trying to figure out a way to involve Patrons with Tuesday Chooseday (because that's the only content Patrons aren't involved with in any way), but I haven't been able to come up with anything so far. Maybe you guys have some fun ideas?
That's all from me today, hope you have a great weekend, cheers!

I vote yes for Thursday Thirstday.
Good luck. Have a nice vacation.
Hmm, i dont know what to suggest, i simply just wanted to support.
As pseudosciencey as it sounds, both myself and my SO found good success with those "therapy lights" you can find on Amazon when it comes to seasonal depression. They're pretty cheap, and probably worth a try if it's normally rough for you
As a spaniard, let me give you a fair warning: we're getting heat waves every other week, so ya better come prepared just in case
I'd like to point out that your first break week is right when Gamescom is happening. Just so you know.
Enjoy your vacation(s)!!
