Happy August everyone, and welcome to the August Patroncast, with updates on all the MATN things, including the moves toward giving the channel my undivided attention!


It's 11:30pm UK time, so I'll be replying to most comments tomorrow.


And, sadly, no photo of Tabby today - she's sulking under the sofa because Claire went to the Nine Worlds convention this weekend.

You can now buy computer bits without having to pay VAT! Off to Ebuyer's business site for you then :D For recording, Shadowplay is pretty great, it's free with a GTX graphics card and it has minimal performance impact. A lot of people in my work have been leaving, 7 people in the last 5 months, with one of the new guys, started 2 weeks after me, just got offered another job with fewer hours, better benefits, a 9k yearly salary rise and a 3k signing bonus will probably be leaving while the other new start, joined about 2 weeks ago, is complaining that she is doing the standard support leg-work and help desk do, even though her job position was as a project lead. Lot's of people seem to be leaving now-days :P

I'd heard good things about Shadowplay - Nerdcubed's PC recording tool of choice, I believe.

And must be weird to have all that leaving - never really experienced it, as I've always worked for small companies - always avoided corporates - so there can only be so many leaving at once.

Sandwich247

Well, the company is quite small, there were 30 people before the leaving started. Now there's about 23. If the two of the three (me) new starts leave, then it'll be down to 21. That includes our Sheffield office. It's all because a guy who was brought into doing impartial finance advice made our new CEO (a push over who gets really nervous when someone confronts him on anything) into a yes-man. I feel like I've just boarded a sinking ship :P

Y'know, a sinking ship isn't always that bad - if it's truly sinking, a decent redundancy payout can be nice.

If you do organise merch, would it be possible to make some one-offs of well-known moments from your series? I want a "gnomed!" shirt.

I'll be using a print on demand service, so there can be as many designs as I want, so, yes, loads of obscure ones :)
