#oneaday Day 1069: Merry Christmas!

Been very lax on this for the past few days, so apologies for that, but I'm sure you understand how the festive season is!

Before anything else then: a very Merry Christmas to every single one of you, and thank you for your continued support on here! I know MoeGamer has been pretty quiet for a little while due to other commitments, but the Atelier MegaFeature will be continuing in the new year once I'm back into the swing of things, and of course everything that I'm doing on YouTube has been happily continuing along, too. (On that note, one more reminder that this coming week there will be no videos!)

I may be tweaking this Patreon a little bit in the new year. Nothing major to worry about, I just think I might make a few little changes to my "rewards", such as they are. I know very few of you are here just to get your hands on what I laughably call my perks, but in the interests of variety and also something for me to throw myself into, I'm likely going to change the S-Rank tier perks from wallpapers to something else.

I haven't decided exactly what as yet, but one thing that I think would be good for my own personal… development, I guess you'd call it… yeah, that'll do — one thing that would be good for my own personal development would be making a monthly commitment to something that I might otherwise put off in favour of other things. So here's my thinking.

Those of you who know me well and a bit more personally will likely be aware that I'm a musician — specifically, a pianist. (I also play clarinet and saxophone, but I haven't done much with either of those for some time, and with the whole COVID thing making ensemble stuff impractical I don't see that happening any time soon) I enjoy playing the piano, but don't make enough time to do so right now.

So what I'm thinking — and I'm not committing to this yet, but definitely veering towards it — is changing up the S-rank perk to being a monthly patrons-only video/recording/somethingorother of me playing something from my increasingly vast collection of video game music piano arrangements. I have quite a few such books now — I got the Final Fantasy XV and Nier: Automata ones for Christmas — so plenty of material to work on, and if I have a "performance" scheduled for, say, the end of each month, then it's a good incentive to actually knuckle down and work on something specific.

If that's something you think you might be interested in, do say. It'll keep my mum happy if nothing else.

Anyway. Enough business. Time to go enjoy the rest of the day with some video games and cats and whatever else. Hope you've all had a thoroughly lovely day, and that you get a suitable opportunity to sleep in tomorrow morning. Merry Christmas!
