UPDATE ON ABANDON HOPE AND MORE
Added 2020-03-23 19:40:30 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It is I, your friendly neighborhood TJ, here to provide you with an update on the latest Abandon Hope, which I first teased a little over a month ago. This delay has been extremely unprofessional on my part, but I’m sure that you understand that a huge part of the reason for the hold-up has been this terrible Covid-19 pandemic and all of the challenges that it has brought.
We were all extremely bummed out when the studio set that we have been working on for months, which was supposed to premiere last week, had to be put on hiatus. We are now focused on recording episodes remotely using a modification of our old set-up. We are also devastated that the expensive Dank Dungeons and Drunken Dragons studio that we spent thousands of dollars on is collecting dust, and the launch of that show looks to be postponed until this horrible crisis finally comes to an end.
It is largely due to my extreme frustration towards these events that I have yet to deliver on Abandon Hope, a show that takes a lot of time to set-up and perform. However, I am beginning to adjust to this new status quo and I have begun working on gathering suitable videos for the March episode.
I expect that, failing some new catastrophe, you will be seeing the new episode very soon. Please bear with us as this annoying plague throws us into disarray and disorientation. Please understand that so many of the plans we had for the Pessimist Productions are currently on hold while we struggle to even maintain the status quo during this time of turmoil and uncertainty.
We hope that you are all well, and that your families and friends are all well, and that you are taking all necessary precautions to stay safe out there.
Love,
TJ Kirk and The PP Crew

2020-03-24 06:35:35 +0000 UTCI understand it's hard to adjust. I won't mind short episodes from a potato cam though, so don't be too worried about quality until you adjust to the new norm, I say. If you only churn out a little new content in the near future, I as a patron, will be happy, because I understand it's difficult times right now.

I know that even when these long term plans fall through, that you guys have demonstrated the commitment to make sure that you have something for us to enjoy, even if it has to be low tech, you guys make it work. Because you never stop. And you never will.

2020-03-23 20:01:24 +0000 UTCIn other words, TJ has committed yet another error. TJ stole all the toilet paper, burnt the studios down, got his ass kicked by Scotty and caught coranaids from Porl. TJ was last seen with Stevie buying an RV rambling about a road trip to the moon. The last person to see him alive was his dealer, we are told he bought "two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that he needed all that for the trip, but once TJ gets locked into a serious drug collection, his tendency is to push it as far as he can.” HST Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

2020-03-23 19:47:35 +0000 UTCExcuse me? Couldn’t hear ya, too many sets of 5 dollar patrons balls in your throat. I mean damn TJ, did you really write this post? It sounded way too nice, like creepily nice coming from you...woo boy. It really is the end of the fucking world. Paul’s no longer a pessimist and TJ isn’t being a huge asshole. What has the world come to?! What’s next? Scotty talking more softly and quietly?!

Pissed off mushroom
2020-03-23 19:46:04 +0000 UTCBut for real I doubt anyone cares. Particularly here. I'd genuinely be shocked to learn that anyone here is a new follower of yours. I know I've been around for somewhere around a decade. Shit happens. We also know you're a depressed, ADHD procrastinator who would sit in his own funk in the same place for days if not for the need to get more food and cigarettes. Just chill 🤷♀️
