Sales Tax and You

As I'm a bit of a deadbeat, unfortunately this most recent post doesn't celebrate a new milestone, but instead is about a relatively important change happening here on Patreon.

Like many companies in this exciting digital world, the regulators have finally caught up with the folks at Patreon and are forcing them to adhere to those pesky ol...

8/25/2018: Third Goal Reached

Well, technically this goal was reached on August 1st, when the month's pledges were processed. The third goal, as stated on the sidebar, is to build a secondary PC specifically to record my current PC. Here's a stylish little diagram I stole from Twitch to illustrate how it works.

The 'Streaming PC' isn't doing anything but record the video outp...

11/17/2017: Capture Card Followup

With the arrival of a functional HDMI splitter, it's been 2 weeks now since I've started recording PS1 footage of Vagrant Story and I'm pretty confident this setup is going to work for the foreseeable future. This considerably expands the range of games I'm able to play on my channel, so keep that in mind when requesting LPs; most* console games ar...

9/12/2017: Technical Difficulties

As I mentioned in my last post, the goal for the capture card has been reached, and I have in fact purchased an Elgato HD60 Pro for use with my content.

My last post also alluded to the fact that I was going to start using it to record PS1 games, but after initially setting it up I noticed that I couldn't actually record my PS3 (which I was going...

6/6/2017: Second Goal Reached!

The $20 goal was reached on May 31, which means I'll be acquiring an internal capture card. 

As an aside, partly due to my own laziness in not promoting it, the forums have been growing very slowly so I don't think spending the money from my first goal on removing the ads is a good investment right now.

I have onl...

3/20/2017

As mentioned in the reward tier, as a Patron you're name is listed the intro video for any LP made after your pledge. 

However as your Patron username may be your actual name, or otherwise not what you'd like to be known as, I'm asking all Patrons to get in touch with me and let me know the name you'd like to be credited as in my ...

2/11/2017: First Goal Reached!

I got the notification last night that pledges reached $5/mo, which marks my first goal successfully completed. Originally this goal was a much higher pledge threshold ($20/mo), but Raab convinced me I probably shouldn't go all-in on a forum that might not actually be used all that much. So I've created a proboards forum, which is free, and charges...
