But my living situation is unfortunately changing and I will also be needing a new computer soon - the problem is that I work a full time job (unrelated to this) but am still rather poor. It takes a lot of time to put these videos together! If you like what I've been doing with my youtube channel please consider helping me out to keep production running smoothly!
