Some rather bad news
🕑 Added 2024-02-20 16:02:33 +0000 UTCSo unfortunately I've had a spot of bad news this week.
Next Monday I need to go in for surgery to remove a potential melanoma from my leg.
Luckily it's early enough that the Doctors aren't concerned about any spread or potential further treatment beyond the op but it's still made for a rather unpleasant experience. Sadly the state of healthcare in my country is really pretty dire at the moment so the poor communication / lack of speed has created an enormous amount of stress for both me and Steph.
I'm not sure how quick the recovery is (it'll depend on the state of the "melanoma") but because of all this I'm going to delay the Onimusha video for a little while.
I feel really lame about doing this as it's been a long while since the last major video but I hope you'll understand that I'm just not confident I'll be able to create something at my usual standard.
That being said I'm still going to work where possible (as I do enjoy it) and in the event everything runs smoothly - it shouldn't be delayed by too much. I just wanted to let you all know as my Patrons really are the lifeblood of the channel and you've been keeping the ship afloat over the last few months.
Once again - I really appreciate what you guys and girls do for me. Fingers crossed in a few months time we'll be laughing about this situation and I'll have lots of cool things lined up for you all!
peace and love,
Matt

Hope all is well, mate. Really looking forward to your continued work. Best of luck to you and we're all looking forward to your return once you've fully recovered!

I started supporting you because of the quality of your work, not because I expect timely and frequent content. Take whatever time and space you need to be healthy and make the cool shit that you do. 👍🤗

Please make sure you’re your own #1 priority and don’t feel guilty for doing the right thing for yourself, your loved ones, and (ultimately) for us too! Besides, I feel like the stuff you’ve been putting out has been a great return on investment, and I really liked the Lost Crown review, so I feel content-satiated!

Kick that potential melanomas butt, like when you kill the goblin wizard in onimusha! Okay so maybe I've never played onimusha, but I have total confidence that you'll recover from this and then I'll know whether or not there are in fact goblin wizards in onimusha. Peace and love, happiness and health man
Justin

Take your time to focus on yourself and your health. We're not going anywhere!
Christopher Goode
Seriously, please don't put any more undue stress on yourself than the situation already has and will continue to do so. I can speak pretty confidently when I say, we will happily wait as long as it takes for you to be able to rest and recover from all of this. Best of luck, and cheers! We are rooting for you!
Chris Nicholas
Hope it all goes okay and get better soon!
