=== Thanks For The Support (04:25) ===

[00:00:00]  I think it's incumbent on me to say thank you to everyone who supported me on Patreon and PayPal.
[00:00:05]  I really do appreciate it.
[00:00:07]  But not only that, I really appreciate everyone watching and commenting.
[00:00:10]  I seem to get a lot of commenters, and I really, really like that, because I'm well up for debate.
[00:00:16]  You know, I don't think that I know everything.
[00:00:20]  I might sound like I do, and, you know, maybe there's a part of me that does think that.
[00:00:25]  But I am always happy to change my mind when I'm presented with a well-formed argument that I can't refute.
[00:00:34]  That means my position's incorrect and I have to change it.
[00:00:38]  You know?
[00:00:39]  So thanks for all that.
[00:00:40]  I really do appreciate that.
[00:00:42]  And I will certainly endeavour to make sure that the audio quality in my future videos is better.
[00:00:49]  I don't have much in the way of production values, because I'm not really this...
[00:00:56]  I haven't got any skills in this sort of area.
[00:00:59]  But I will certainly put more effort into that.
[00:01:03]  Thanks a lot for basically pulling me up on it.
[00:01:07]  And thanks for listening and watching and for all the moral support, you know.
[00:01:10]  I never thought that this was going anywhere.
[00:01:13]  And so I was just doing it to vent.
[00:01:15]  But no, I'm genuinely, genuinely thrilled with how much people seem to be enjoying my videos.
[00:01:23]  And yeah, so thanks again.
[00:01:26]  Thanks very much.
[00:01:28]  Take it easy, guys, and I'll see you very shortly.
[00:01:32]  I'm going to be doing that privilege video very soon.
[00:01:36]  Comments are still being put on it, so I don't want to do it quite yet.
[00:01:40]  I'm going to make it as complete a list as we can do.
[00:01:43]  So in the meantime, I'm working on part 4 of Pyrrhus.
[00:01:45]  After I've done that, I'll do the privilege video.
[00:01:48]  And if anything ridiculously fucking retarded comes up in the meantime, I'll probably fire off another criticism video.
[00:01:55]  So yeah, thanks for watching.
[00:01:57]  See you guys soon.
[00:01:59]  Also, oh yeah, before I go, the Google Hangout thing.
[00:02:04]  I don't really know how to organise this, but it is something that people have said they'd like to do, and I've been more than happy to do it.
[00:02:12]  I'd certainly like to get some of the other good YouTubers on.
[00:02:16]  I mean, I would love to do one with Goodfella.
[00:02:19]  That would be brilliant.
[00:02:21]  I can't remember who suggested it, but I imagine that would be a laugh.
[00:02:27]  I'd probably have to go through the Daily Mail or Guardian to get a few talking points together because that'd just be precious, wouldn't it?
[00:02:37]  It'd be the fucking tit.
[00:02:41]  But yeah, basically, leave a comment.
[00:02:43]  Let me know.
[00:02:45]  The thing is, I'm really busy, because we were funded on Kickstarter with Necromancer, and I still haven't actually received any money from that yet, which I'm getting a bit worried about, because, like I said, we need it for the licenses.
[00:02:58]  But we need it to buy assets.
[00:03:01]  But I've been working, obviously, very, very hard on that.
[00:03:05]  And I basically, I do these videos as a bit of downtime from that, you know, because I just get up in the morning, I roll out of bed, I start work, and then when I get tired, I just kind of go back to bed.
[00:03:17]  And I've been doing it all day, you know.
[00:03:18]  And so I like to do these videos like every other day or so just because it gives me a bit of time away from code and away from, I mean, I'm not even doing that much coding anymore.
[00:03:31]  That's the worst part.
[00:03:32]  I'm now on to getting models and arranging them to make nice levels, which it sounds great, but it's actually dull.
[00:03:40]  I like the problem-solving aspect of the coding.
[00:03:44]  You know, and when you've got a w when you've got a system that's set up well and it works flawlessly, that's that's a thing of beauty to me.
[00:03:51]  And so, you know, making the levels, I it's it's enjoyable, but it's it can get quite samey, you know.
[00:03:58]  It's not, um, I I ironically, I used to love making levels as well, but um, when I was, when I was a kid, I used to make loads of Dune 2 levels and uh, you know, my friends would come and knock on the door and say hey, do you want to come out and go down the park or something?

=== Why Not A Hangout? (00:49) ===

[00:04:14]  And I'd say I can't.
[00:04:16]  I've just made a really nice looking library level and uh yeah so, but I, I would like to do um a Google Hangout because people have requested it.
[00:04:26]  Um so, let me know when's best and I will literally set a time and date, GMT and I will figure out how it's done, I promise.
[00:04:37]  Um anyway, take it easy, guys.
[00:04:39]  Sorry, this is a bit of a rambling.
[00:04:41]  Just a thank you video.
[00:04:42]  I d I I've.
[00:04:44]  I always feel bad if I'm not giving you guys some content, because I mean, that's why you come to my fucking channel, Channel in there.
[00:04:49]  That's why you come to any channel, surely, you know.
[00:04:53]  But anyway, I'll talk less about myself and more about the idiots that are apparently taking over the world.
[00:04:59]  So take it easy, guys.
