BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: New milestones, new tiers, AND, a new challenger approaches...

Bill Lemmond

I'm glad I can help. But know that I'm in many ways a living statistical outlier. I have multiple disabilities that offset my ability to make good on a genius IQ, have a bachelor's in economics, but am only working part-time as a janitor. Applying for jobs online is painfully time-consuming for me, and they pick someone else, every time. I've been unable to attract a mate, though married female friends say they don't understand why. Socially,, I'm generally clueless and awkward. So you may actually be very unlikely to attract viewers who are as poor as I am. Don't make any decisions based on my data points, alone.

We really appreciate getting feedback like this--thank you for commenting.

I have a good friend who is convinced that human society cycles through democracy and autocracy. I think he's reading too much into current events in US politics, a bit like mistaking weather for climate. But I don't know for sure. At least I'm willing to admit uncertainty. Is this a matter for extra politics?

Bill Lemmond

Aw, darn, I'm around the US federal poverty level, so rising to the $3/month level would leave me with too little money left to buy any of your merch. But that isn't really a change. Sorry. Wish it weren't true.

Jaw on the floor. Cannot wait for this, these episodes will probably cover more than my "social studies" classes ever did! 🐉🎭🕯️🌲

Extra Politics: Season 2 should focus on the very foundation of democracy, the voting system. There's a lot of voting reform initiative ongoing right now, Instant Runoff Voting just passed the vote in Maine, Approval Voting in Fargo, STAR Voting in Lane County Oregon, & MMP/DMP/STV in British Columbia are all going to vote later this year. It was only recently a voting referendum failed in the UK. How we vote decides what kind of democracy we have, and Extra Politics can do its part to help along all this positive change.

I can’t wait to hear how Zeus is linked to Robert Walpole

Extra Mythology isn't going to happen: that's just a myth :3. Seriously though: looking forward to it!

Patreon automatically emails you every time we post, not every time we make an announcement--we've only made 3 legitimate "announcements" in the last 30 days, based on our posts which have been tagged as announcements. We have also been uploading a LOT of extra-Extra History videos this month which is the primary content our patrons usually want to know about, so that is highly atypical for sure. I'm very sure you can unsubscribe from emails that are automatically sent to you by Patreon. --Belinda

In the last 30 days, you guys have sent 16 emails to my inbox with "announcements". Could you please tone it down? I already contribute to your videos. More emails will not drive my interest up. Thanks for listening.

I believe the pun was always intended even with just the original show's name, but yes that is the direction we've been declaring our intentions to move in ever since Extra Sci Fi launched almost a year ago. (Not to take away from talking about games at all, but rather we are very passionate about games *because* of all the other things we've learned and are fascinated by! Like what was said way back in one of the earliest "how to be a game designer" episodes... if you want to be good at making games, you benefit tremendously from knowledge and experience in other things. Whoops, that was a long parenthetical. --Belinda)

So now it's less 'Arcade Credits' than 'College Credits' :P
