A quiet week! As we enter a new month, I expect many more things to start popping up - Twitch has a slew of features, contract updates, 1st party alerts, and more they are likely wanting to get out sooner than later. So, I'll take any downtime between now and then!
I also want to take a moment to thank the latest paid members! Jen, Gun, Marc, Joseph, Steven, Kim, and Matty, I sincerely appreciate your support (for just $5 a month!) Thank you - you make this and my other work possible! And with that, let's get into the news!
