Hello!

It's been a while, I know... A lot of things happened in the past months and I simply didn't have the time to sit down and write about it.

Let's change that. What was I up to this year?

KleederBros
For those who are following my german Let's Play channel might have noticed the lack of actual gaming content over there. We have been producing only Podcasts this year. I think the main reason for this is because we are both busy adults and finding time to record anything else gets trickier and tricker (and was never easy to begin with). A podcast per week is at least something we can do to make sure the channel doesn't stay silent completely.
We did record some Mario though, and just decided to keep it unpublished until we got another recording session in, so that when the project returns, it can return for longer than just a few videos.
The channel isn't our main priority but we still enjoy making videos for it. If you're a subscriber but not a fan of the podcasts, fear not! Other things will return... eventually! (Yes, even Minecraft!!) :D

BotB and music
Not much to say about my music channel. I upload an oscilloscope render per week and still have content for the next months scheduled. Especially some covers I made for BotB's Decadent Decade 2 earlier this year are still getting uploaded. If you want to check out even more music I made, just navigate to my BotB profile ;)
On top of that, I released a cover album today (as of writing this blog post!) and you can check it out on my bandcamp! This one has not been released before and is unrelated to BotB actually!
It is a full remake of Entchen Tunes made by my good friend alili1996, who turned 30 today. As a little surprise, I sat down and created new versions of all his tracks. If you enjoy some good old classic chiptune style, you'll also enjoy this album, so have a listen :D

Travels
Last year, I talked about my failed goal of visiting every german state within a year. You can read about it again in my previous blog post. I am happy that me and my spouse managed to finish of our little project now with visiting South Germany. We also visited Finland and the Baltic States as well as Switzerland. If you follow any of the links you'll end up on my FindPenguins page with details about all our trips, if you're interested in this!
There is also the video about our Germany trips waiting to get edited and uploaded. I want to focus on this within the next 1-2 months.
The other trips won't get any videos. I decided against VLOGs because it started to feel too much like something I have to do instead of something I want to do. So (apart from the mentioned Germany video) from now on I will probably not do any more VLOGs and only post about my travels on FindPenguins. And there's more of that planned for 2027 too ;)
One more thing I need to mention is the lack of Chipwrecked... For those who don't know: Chipwrecked was a chiptune festival located on Bornholm. Yes... was. The host decided to sell the location and stop doing any more festivals, sadly. I am currently not planning to attend similar festivals or events, but if anything comes up and sparks my interest, I'll let you know!

Book
Okay and finally: Writing!
I hope, after my previous blog post, nobody went to that books page every week and hoped for a progress update. I have been working on the book every other week but not much of it was writing. It is crazy how much has still to be done regarding planning, sketching and getting everything in a coherent order. All of this is fun though and I feel more positive than ever before about my project.

Wow what an overview!! I hope I didn't forget anything important. But if I did, I will just post a new blog about it :D
It seems like I found my small set of projects that I will keep working on for now. Music, Travels, Book, KleederBros. This gives me enough to keep me busy but isn't so much that I start feeling stressed about it either.
For now, my plan is to push all of these different projects further and have fun with them.

I hope this update was interesting enough :D
Thanks for reading and until next time!
