A Quick Update and a Thanks
🕑 Added 2021-06-16 15:44:10 +0000 UTCI'm very excited to share this month's Archive highlight with you all - so excited in fact, that I've gotten a little too into writing it; you can expect it before the top of next week, along with the first round of playtest times for IF WE WIN.
Until then, I wanted to share a quick update from my work, as a demonstration of how much of a difference your support makes.
If you've accessed the Telelibrary or my other projects, you know how important audio editing is to my work. What you wouldn't know is that I've been doing that audio on a very outdated version of Logic 9 that I received as part of a research grant in 2014. This winter, when the screen on my old laptop died and I upgraded to a (newer) used Laptop, I discovered that Logic 9 was too outdated to run on any modern devices.
So for about 4 or so months, all of the audio work on the Telelibrary looked something like this:
That's a (only mostly) dead laptop, rigged to an external drive, rigged to the TV in my living room, which my roommates patiently let me borrow. However, thanks to the unexpected growth of this Patreon, I was recently able to invest in a version of Logic compatible with modern digital society, and I am no longer sitting on the floor of my living room squinting at a tv screen across the room.
Or at least, no longer doing that for work.
So for that, and many other things, I say to you all — thanks again.
Best,
Yannick
