A question for you all:
🕑 Added 2019-06-22 03:17:48 +0000 UTCHow can I better engage with my patrons?
I've been trying to be more public about the true extent of my mental illness, and how much it destroyed me these past couple years. I've talked about it a lot on the blog, but the short version is that I was experiencing crippling, untreated anxiety that crushed me to the point I couldn't do anything but autopilot my way through life and cling desperately to my refusal to give in to some pretty despairing impulses. It meant I neglected the blog, neglected my friends, neglected my family, neglected my fans. I'm on new meds, now, and they seem to be working, if my regular liveblog schedule has been any indication!
But I have neglected you all, and I want to know: how can I be better?
Should I post Youtube videos here? (Not paid posts, of course.) Should I advertise streams here? What content can I produce for you beyond the blog itself? What extra pledge tiers and rewards should I offer patrons? How can I engage directly with you? I want to do better, but I've been so sick for so long that I don't know how, and I need your help to figure it out.

Realize the scope of your abilities and don't overbook yourself. Having streams at a predictable time was kind of neat. Maybe have a vote for a popular game stream and have it always occurs on a specific day of the month at a specific time.

Now that you are back to regular updates I am not feeling too much need for you to do more. But of course that is just me.
