#NoMoreReturnVideos Update: March Edition
Sorry, friends - I assume these updates are probably even more annoying to read than they are to have to post, but I think that the least I can do is try to keep you in the loop! No sympathy-fishing here - just me letting you know I've not disappeared (and why it seems like I have)!
My dad had another health episode not long after the first (this one largely unrelated), so once again my time and energy have been focused on him. I am resigning myself to the fact that maybe this is just how things are going to be with him until the end of his life, and it may not be realistic or feasible for me to keep putting everything on hold like this - but let's cross that bridge, uh, when we know for sure that it's a real bridge.
In the meantime, he is once again on the road to recovery, I am doing fine, and here is a clip that I took while trying to set up a shot for what was/is meant to be the next M&M video.
I continue to thank you, the vanguard of M&M, for your patience and support - and let us quest together again sooner rather than later!
(They say never work with children, animals, or Greybeards, and now I understand from experience why this is good advice.)

Well-met, Knights!
To whomever this reaches, I figure I owe you a brief status update on how things are going on my end! To keep it as brief as possible: I'd hoped to hit the ground running in January, but shortly after the New Year, my father's health took a drastic dip. Suffice it to say, it was severe enough that I dropped everything to spend as much time with him as possible, fearing the worst.
I'm happy to report that, after several weeks in the hospital, he has largely recovered, and is doing about as well as you could expect from a man of his years. I say all this to assure you that I haven't gone anywhere, nor am I planning another return video for 2024 ππ€£
I thank you for your patience, and in the meantime, here is a meme I made sometime last year, which is sadly too niche for anyone I know to appreciate. See you soon!!!
FOR THE ORDER!!!!!

I'm afraid that's all I can say for now
And I'll be seeing a select few of you even sooner π
Oh, don't mention this to Rance
You know, preservation of the space-time continuum and all that
Gotta run
Godspeed,

If I were you, the last thing I'd want to see right now is another "Community Post" in lieu of actual videos.
BUT, luckily for me, I'm not you. I'm me!

In all seriousness, I am attempting to keep you at least modestly informed of my progress here.
I was out of town for awhile visiting my sister (whom you may remember from the Lost Woods/ABBA videos) in Texas, but have now returned (both to my home, and to focusing/working on this channel).
I don't want to make any promises in stone or scroll, but my (fairly safe, realistic) hope is to begin uploading again in October, once I have these 2 or 3 completed videos in the can, so that I'm not starting out behind the 8-ball (which is where I have always spent the majority of my time, in regards to these videos)!
I want to, again, dearly thank those Knights that continue to maintain the vigil, and I hope to see you again soon within The Guild Halls! =)

βTo The Steadfast And Indomitable Knight Who Reads This:β
Despite greatly exaggerated reports of my death, capture, and/or conversion to the Coven of Bro-magic...
THE GUILDMASTER IS ALIVE AND WELL. The Order has not yet breathed its last.
The very LEAST that I owe is to communicate that news to you Knights - however, I shall attempt here to go beyond the very least that I can do, and provide a glimpse of things to come within the next few weeks.
As an apology for my ever-increasing struggle to re-establish the halcyon era of consistency that the hallowed halls of Muscle & Magicka once knew, I have been working on an extra-special, EXTRA-LONG, and hopefully extra-enjoyable episode of Lifting Lore, which I hope and believe will be the best to date!
That project is nearly completed, and I now turn my attention to producing 1 or 2 videos to precede it (mainly to let both the YouTube algorithm and you Templars know that I am alive, before I upload a 30 minute video out of the blue)!
Lastly, to those who have eyes to see and ears to see this message:
THANK YOU for still being here =)

π‘βοΈ KNIGHTS βοΈπ‘
A HUGE thank you to all those valiant and stalwart Templarβs who were able to make it to the sacred meeting today!!!
It warmed my heart and reinvigorated my spirit to see that! I apologize for the abrupt ending - I had no idea they were going to kick us out of chat so suddenly! Clearly, a Bro-magic plot to keep The Order disbanded is afoot!
I have no idea, as of yet, which social medias weβll be using moving forward, but if youβd like a way to keep in touch with me and/or your fellow Knights in the meantime, we have a Discord that, up until now, has been used primarily for the twitch stream, but Knights of Muscle & Magicka on ANY front are more than welcome there!
I donβt know EXACTY what The Order will look like moving forward, and I am happy to hear any thoughts/feelings from the esteemed Knights!
Thank you again for maintaining the vigil and keeping the flames of Muscle & Magicka burning!
FOR THE ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
