A quick update...
Added 2020-10-12 00:49:23 +0000 UTCHi Folks,
Just a quick heads up that I will be suspending charges for all existing Patrons for the month of November.
I've been having some persistent headaches over the last 6 weeks or so, and it has rather nuked my video making productivity. I'm fairly sure that it's just a bad case of eye strain, but I'm in the process of having it checked out.
Again, from your perspective nothing will change. You will still have access to all of the Patron content, and I will still be contactable by email, Discord, direct message, and the post comments if you have any questions, or just want to say G'day and see what I'm up to.
And of course my expectation is that things will return to normal from December.
Thank you again for your continued support folks, and I will catch you all again soon :)
Cheers,
Chris.

2020-12-03 08:39:41 +0000 UTCA quick question about your health. Are you recovering and/or have you already posted results on another site? Get well and God bless!
George Speake
2020-12-02 20:20:36 +0000 UTCYes I'm another one. Honestly I've just been waiting for the Antikythera series to continue and don't mind supporting it, that's how I view it. And the research paper was amazing.

2020-12-02 17:39:45 +0000 UTCI concur with the ones who are happy to continue paying. Take care of yourself and come back to us when you are better - All the best, greetings from Belgium
jean-marc
2020-12-01 18:27:37 +0000 UTCI'm another who is happy to continue paying - for me it covers the hours of enjoyment I've got from watching everything to date. However, I appreciate the painstaking effort that goes into producing video, and... it's been a bloody long mongrel of a year. Take it easy.

2020-11-30 06:36:12 +0000 UTCHope you're feeling better and its not too serious. Hopefully you know whats causing them now, although results can take time. Only just saw your post. Look after yourself.
George Harris
2020-11-25 22:09:49 +0000 UTCI hope you get back to your old self quickly. For the record even if you're not putting out videos, I still find my $1 per month ridiculously good value for money because I haven't watched all the patreaon videos yet and i've nowhere near paid enough to cover the value of your older youtube videos. All the best.

2020-11-19 03:01:15 +0000 UTCHi Chris, I remember someone close to me suffered cluster headaches. She was prescribed a beta blocker as a prophylactic. She still has occasional headaches but no longer clusters of them as you appear to be suffering.

2020-10-12 20:48:20 +0000 UTCI hope you find a diagnosis with an easy solution quickly! Take care and try not to worry about the videos - your work is worth waiting for.
Mike Michelizzi
2020-10-12 20:10:48 +0000 UTCGet well soon! I would continue to pay anyway.
Daniel Kent
2020-10-12 19:44:35 +0000 UTCSame as above with the well wishes to feel better. I actually had the 'persistent headache' thing happen to me last month and it turned out to be lack of sleep and stress coupled with the constant smell of Pot drying from my neighbor... Maybe if I smoked pot I could have gotten rid of the headache. A mystery to be sure...
Timothy Girard
2020-10-12 17:58:43 +0000 UTCJust echoing the above: I hope you're back to 100% soon, and my support is not dependent on your output.
Matt Walters

Mariano Guerrero
2020-10-12 14:58:54 +0000 UTCGet well quick Chris, and keep the payments on for now by all means.
Andrew Webster
2020-10-12 14:46:04 +0000 UTCHi Chris, Iβm hoping your persistent headaches are not migraines. However, if they are, take a good look at whatβs changed in the surrounding environment. Things like lightning that uses non-energy star power supplies and video rendering can trigger bad headaches and Migraines. Youβll be able to tell very quickly what items are causing you issues because the headache pain will be noticeable within minutes of exposure.
2020-10-12 14:19:43 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself, that's the most important thing.
Emalkartha
2020-10-12 14:06:14 +0000 UTCTake care Chris. I think I speak for all of the followers here that suspending payments really isn't necessary.
Chris Muncy
2020-10-12 12:57:34 +0000 UTCAhh geeze man that sounds rough. I can only speak for myself, but my Patreon contribution isn't dependant on you sticking to a schedule, if you need a month or several off I'm happy to continue contributing. Take your time, get well, we'll all be OK and ready when you are my man!
Allen Derusha
2020-10-12 10:36:43 +0000 UTCBest wishes from here in the UK, hope it's nothing serious. Look after yourself and get well soon

Jeremy Gordon
2020-10-12 04:06:56 +0000 UTCAs someone who gets headaches a lot, I suggest you also check to make sure it's not your neck or upper back/shoulders. Tightness there can refer around the head to the muscles around the eyes, which feels a lot like eye strain. I'm just adding this because I thought I had eye strain for a while but it turned out to be bad posture.
Peter R
2020-10-12 04:02:26 +0000 UTCGet well soon! Iβm sure thereβs no easy way to opt out of this, so Iβll just up my membership for a bit to contradict you. β€οΈ

Clovis Chitwood
2020-10-12 01:38:59 +0000 UTCFeel better soon. I hope to hear the sound "Good day! Chris here." soon. But for now don't worry about the videos. Once you feel better, we all will feel better too.

2020-10-12 01:02:57 +0000 UTCDon't forget the obvious one of making sure you're drinking enough water. Being dehydrated causes this in me.
Luke Pettit
