October 2023 Update! (Patreon)

Good day, Patrons old and new! We hope you're all doing great :) As with last month, here is a quick update as to what's been going on with us and what to expect in October.

The season of scares is upon us and we are so ready. A lot of Halloween-themed content will be hitting our various channels/streams over the next few weeks - make sure to check the video description of Fact Fiend/USC videos to find all of our socials if you want to catch everything! Karl will be keeping up his tradition of wearing a great Halloween costume for videos at the end of the month and, if he can pull off what he has planned, it might be the best one yet!

The minor changes we made to the Patreon last month have been great both for us and for the audience; making the decision to shift our attention onto more creative rewards was definitely a good move. We all had a laugh watching the Shitpost video Nisha made, and the Fact Fiend Focus was great fun to record as it was mostly just 2 hours of nostalgic conversation. This month's shitpost will be edited as soon as Nisha recovers from her jetlag and post-holiday blues, and the Friend tier and above can expect October's focus topics for a vote soon.

A few days ago Rock Band Karaoke returned and was, once again, an absolute blast! A little quieter than our first one but we still had sign ups all the way through to the end of the night. We had hoped to start planning event number three as soon as possible but we've recently learned that our venue for this event, Meltdown Sheffield, is closing down at the end of October. This puts the future of Rock Band Karaoke on shaky ground for the time being.

Earlier this year, we invested in a PO Box to allow you all to send us fun and interesting things. Without going into too much detail, getting it up and running has been a shitshow. We still have no idea if that will become available and, if it does, we have no idea when but we'll let you know as soon as we do.

I think that's it for this update. Short and sweet! All the best to every single one of you and, as always, comment with any questions you have.
