An Unpleasant Update.

I shared this announcement the other day in our Discord server, but for those of you either viewing from YouTube or who just aren't in our server, here it is.

"Hey everyone, I need to make a pretty important announcement. Some of you know that I’ve got two elderly dogs (13 and 16). To make a long story short, what we thought yesterday was a treatable heart murmur turned out to be heart failure and cancer.

It is treatable but not curable, with the vet estimating 2-3 months at best before it causes the stomach swelling that originally brought us in (and a high likelihood that he’ll be suffering at that point), and there’s no chance of him surviving another year.

needless to say, I’m a fucking wreck right now. I know I can’t put my life on hold for this, but right now I cannot even imagine trying to make funny videos with this hanging over my head.

SUPPORTERS already had the sign up posted for our next meetup stream (May 31st at 9:30pm EST) but as of now I’m unsure if I’ll actually be hosting it or not. I don’t know what state I’ll be in then but I know I wanna spend as much time as possible with my dogs, so.. I was originally gonna open the public signup this Friday, but I give an update on that in a couple days.

Additionally, while I can’t pause YouTube channel memberships, I’ll be pausing payments on Patreon for at least the next month. Anyone paying now still gets the benefits for if/when I upload anything during that time, it just won’t charge you for it.

While I was in the middle of editing episode 1 of Freddy and Officer Vanessa playing Help Wanted 2, I’m unsure now when exactly it’ll be released. I’m sure I’ll still find time to work on it here and there, along with the other videos I recorded a couple weeks back with my amazing cast, but there’s no ETA on any of them now. They’ll be out when they’re out, my dog(s) is my priority right now

To my amazing Crew , I know we’ve got a couple videos we needed to finish shooting but I’m putting them on pause for the moment. We’ll just play things by ear depending on how my dog is doing and how my mental state is doing. Thank you for all your hard work so far

To everyone else, thank you for all your support and please keep Stevie in your thoughts and prayers.

We’re not done, not by a long shot. we’re just.. not here right now"
