Get Your Animal Names Here! - Quick Update
🕑 Added 2021-06-01 18:20:24 +0000 UTCHello there you shockingly intelligent dinosaurs,
Just a quick post to clarify what's been going on the past week or so, and to offer you all animal names in the current Rimworld series seeing as it looks like it's going to be a long one, and the names list is very long right now, so it might be an opportunity for some of you to get a name in-game slightly earlier as one of our rare and exotic animals!
First section is just me talking, so if you're not interested feel free to jump to the end to see the names list and how to submit an animal name!

Firstly, thank you all for bearing with me over the past week and a half, it's been one of the busiest weeks of my life.
Lockdown in the UK ended for the first time since March 2020, and the majority of my family and friends I hadn't seen until the Christmas of 2019 because I live on the other side of the country, so we had a flood of people all within the same two weeks. Then one my other friends had to cancel the original date we had planned, and could only visit this weekend - so on top of the second Christmas, pre-recording, and other stuff, I had another unplanned visit right at the end of the week!
So hopefully that should be all of the visitors and guests dealt with until Christmas, and now I can finally play video-games undisturbed, instead of having to put up with selfish house guests wanting to bring me Christmas presents.
As a somewhat related side note, some of you might remember the time when, during a hilarious wood chopping incident, I fell and cracked the base of my spine. Well ever since then (even now as I'm typing this) sitting down for extended periods has been uncomfortable at best, and painful at worse.
I haven't gone back to speak to a doctor since I originally injured it, mainly because of the whole pandemic thing, so at the suggestion of a few people in the Patreon Discord channel, I bought a fancy new chair which should make recording content a little easier going forward. I ordered it almost three weeks ago and finally they've given me a delivery slot today.
So hopefully if all goes well I can actually start recording content this week without being constantly in pain, which is a nice bonus, though probably wont have the same motivating effect.

Animal Names
I floated this idea during the Patreon shout outs in the episode that went live today, but if anyone is happy to take an animal name during this series then you're more than welcome to. We have a lot of exotic and interesting animals that I'm unlikely to use again in a hurry, so it'll be a pretty unique name request.
One of the reasons I ask is that out of the 217 name requests that I currently have, we've managed to get through a whopping 23 of them. I never thought I would get to the point where we would have more patrons coming in than Rimworld recruits, and I am exceedingly grateful, but also feel extremely guilty offering a reward that is becoming more and more impossible to uphold!
CLICK RIGHT HERE ANYWHERE IN THIS SENTENCE TO SEE THE CURRENT NAMES LIST
If you are on the list and would be happy to take an animal name, with any sort of preference for animal type, creature, or anything free, then please send me a message here and I'll get that updated for you ASAP!

ALSO, more content soon.
I want to shift focus on to the main channel a little bit more so we don't end up with Rimworld stagnation.
The second channel ended up getting far more of a time investment than it had any right too, I just felt like I had an obligation to make the Skyrim series good because it's the final of the Elder Scrolls trilogy, but in the future we'll stick to games that don't need such a time investment.
I'm going to finish (I promise) Space Haven, it just ended up being quite a time consuming series at a point where I had absolutely no time at all! I also have some Paradox planned content soon that I can't talk about yet, but you will SEE.
I have quite a few games on my short list, I want to try and cycle through them once every two weeks unless we have something really good going on, but we'll see how it goes!

As always, thank you for your support in allowing me to make hideous content and even be somewhat entertaining.
The prospect of getting a real job where I work for 8 hours a day then come home and relax without having to juggle business documents, developer emails, fan messages, and be protected by laws and unions rather than operating on a platform that, at anytime, can take your money, job, and years of your life at a whim, sounds far too luxurious.
Incidentally if anyone is hiring for any job going right now I might know someone.
Rumours of your misdeeds are told from John the Cowman to Bert, sentient stegosaurus,
