Going to write this stream-of-consciousness and with next to no editing. I apologize up front.
Threads / complaints such as this usually happen once a year. It is always during a time (much like this one) where there is a show thats having a hard time scheduling (Court of Swords) and then I schedule a show or two and some unforeseen tech issues happen and I have to cancel them, and then the thread / tweets start coming – although this time there were less angry tweets so thanks for that!
I said yesterday when we ended the stream (pretty much because I knew something like this would happen) that while you might be frustrated, know that I’m fucking furious ten fold because this is what I do for a living, and I’ll see a reflection on the lack of shows via the sub count for the month.
If you wonder if the “commitment” is there: just keep in mind I have zero social life and when I do, I feel guilty for having one. Taking a trip to visit my long distance girlfriend literally stresses me the fuck out and I have a hard time enjoying it to begin with because I’m unable to work. Part of this trip up here was to build a setup so that I can do shows while visiting and not throw stuff like this off. The PC just wasn’t built yet and her current setup wasn’t able to stream at steady 30 and constant Skype crashes. That shouldn’t happen moving forward.
If you’re disappointed in the show and its frequency then just unsub and come back when you feel that the sub is worth it. That is all I can say, really. After four plus years I’ve kept this going with consistent week-to-week shows and I don’t really plan to stop. I’ve just started to have a social life again and figuring that out plus working a job that demands insane hours is still being figured out.
Anyways, see you on next show. Feel free to have a discussion, though, as I read everything and love feedback like this!
Thanks!
