The last year of growth for my channel has been unbelievable, and I wanted to do something to commemorate hitting 50,000 subscribers... which I totally missed, so here we are months late!

In addition to responding to many of your Thought Prompts, I also did a quick tour of my new studio space that everyone on Patreon made possible. Please refer to the chapter list to find that.

Thank you all so much for continuing to watch my stuff. I hope that in the coming year I will push my output above and beyond anything I've done before, but it's been reassuring to know that I don't have to maintain perfect consistency and keep running on the treadmill as fast as I can just to keep from losing what I've built.

I think I wish now that I had written out my answers ahead of time, since a number of them I had to cut when I played them back later and heard just gibberish coming out of my mouth, and a number of the remaining ones I feel I could have served better. For the record, my dream car does not exist, because it's a BMW with a 600hp electric motor. I also got a couple of questions I actually really liked, but my answers felt sort of inflammatory - like, "whoops, used my grousing-in-private voice" and I felt they weren't appropriate. So if I didn't answer your very-good-question, that's likely why.
