Announcing: A Discord Group & 2 New Videos!

I'm still needing to craft the sequel episode for Hymn & Huh, but that first one took a lot of time to prep-- so, to fill the production gaps a bit, I wanted to let y'all know that I've also started a couple related ventures!

1. Please join my new 'Abyssus Abyssum Invocat' Discord group! Here's an invitation: https://discord.gg/EmKkaCQFdh (for some reason, Locals doesn't present the link here-- but you'll see the image for it show up at the bottom of the post)

2. I have a new Chessemplations (Chess + Contemplations) series which I send out to Rumble, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, & Facebook Live.

-- Chessemplation #1: "The Enchanted Imagination"

  • 1/4. I'm continuing to explore Rumble & Locals settings so I can ensure this environment works optimally for all of us :)

  • 2/4. I'm upgrading my recording equipment-- I've got a new 4k-resolution Logitech web cam, I've got a new arm for the mic setup, and I should have a new Blue Yeti + headset by mid-February. (Well, technically, the Blue Yeti I'm getting looks Red-- so, perhaps we could call it a Purple Yeti? 😅 )

  • 3/4. In addition to balancing additional job interviews and the like, I'm pleased to announce that my research for the next episode (i.e. on 'We Praise Thee, O God') is coming along well! I've got a lot of content ready to share for the History part alone, and I'll be working on the (music) Theory and (singing) Study portions of that episode too. (As much as possible, I want to ensure that the content I share is edifying, educational, and excellent!) I'm hoping to finish filming and editing by this weekend,...
