Heya folks! It's been a helluva few weeks (few months even) as you may have noticed, with the channel slowing down rather significantly lately.

Things have been a little rough for the last little while - apart from my own health issues in October and early November, my father-in-law had a heart attack in October, an uncle passed away in late November, and then two Fridays ago (Dec 7), my father-in-law suffered a cardiac arrest. He just got out of ICU and things are looking better now, for the most part, but as you might imagine, I've not been feeling like playing video games or being particularly social for the last little bit. This past week in particular, I spent very little time at my desktop, and was mostly at the hospital instead. So videos slowed down rather significantly.

Now that my FIL is in a regular ward, and visiting hours are a bit more limited, I'm going to focus on crunching my end of year / start of year videos ("best of" and "most anticipated" and the like - I love making them, they have a special place in my tradition-loving heart). I've been able to write here and there while waiting in the ICU, but you can't really record or edit videos at a hospital. Hopefully I'll be able to stay on track with those, but at the cost of let's play episodes.

So what happens to let's plays? Well, at this point, they'll likely not return until the new year - at that point, if folks are still interested, we'll keep em going. I've got a lot of plans for videos on the channel in 2024 - this past year has handed me a lot of lemons, and I'm looking forward to turning them into lemonade real soon.

Thanks as always for your patience and support - it really is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Party

Take your time, dude. Loved ones don't come back once they go away.

Take all the time you need. Family comes first. I may not watch literally every video you put out, but I watch the ones I do because I can feel the incredible joy, passion, and thoughtful effort that goes into them. There is no need to churn things out just for the sake of it. Take care, and all the best to your family.

Sending love to your family. I personally would love to see planet zoo let’s plays again. I’m currently binging your playlist and I love them so much ❤️

This really has truly been an awful year. My father died earlier this year, and then a friend died in September. It's really taking the wind out of my sails. Our production here has been severely limited as a result, too. May 2024 be a better year for both of us, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

Take your time. I have had time to go back and watch some of your older stuff that I didn't watch at the time and am having a great time.

What you are going through sounds pretty nasty so wishing you all the best mate. I have had a few battles, one last year and you always come through better at the other side with perspectives. Give yourself time, a break, don't push yourself too hard, do what you love doing (writing sounds great) - don't worry we will be here when you get back. Yourself and your family comes before everything else. Compilation videos sound like the distraction you might need in the new year and hope everything goes as well as it can for you.

I’m really sorry to hear all you’ve been through. Take all the time you need family always comes first. I can only speak for me but you have helped immensely in the past to distract me a bit from rough times, its only fair for us to do the same and help you by being patient for as long as necessary. I’m sure all of us fell the same way. Don’t you worry we will all be there the day you get back on the horse fully.

Take all the time you need. I've delt with family health issues, and it wears you down more than your own health problems. Stay safe and take care of yourself.
