The following post is snippet of a longer post on Paid Patreon and Ko-fi users, released on 11th November 2026.
Done in October:
October was somewhat busy with various commitments outside my usual work. I was also not particularly well towards the end of the month.
Mike’s Holodeck YouTube Channel news: Mass Effect 2 didn’t get touched all, partly as I’ve wanted to make sure I had plan for Star Trek games before I restarted. I also need to get back in the mood. Sadly, any plans for Mass Effect 5 playthrough has been permanently cancelled, due to Bioware closing. Actually, I’ve not got plans for Mass Effect Andromeda, I certainly don’t have plans to play it for Mike’s HoloDeck.
The Star Trek Online game itself had an new Episode in September. It took almost two hours to record, at least I managed to get the Edit done for two episodes in time. The second half of that episode released to the public, on October 1st. Then I did two episodes the following two weeks. Then next week I missed doing an episode. The final week of October, we heard the news of the death of Walter Koenig (Chekov) and Patrick Stewart (Picard).
The New Mike Sharpe Writer YouTube channel is still not “live” yet. I’ve got Three videos on early access, with two more coming soon. While I’ve not recorded them yet, I’ve got at least 3 videos planned.
To spread my MikeSharpeWriter content out more, I’ve chosen to make a Peertube channel at Spectra Video. Peartube is an alternative Video sharing platform, based on some the same ActivityPub system that Mastodon and this blog uses. Yes, you can follow this blog via Mastodon! There may issue with remaining with Spectra video long term, but my choice that relies on a decision that Spectra Video hasn’t made yet.
Very little work is was done on Acacia’s Silence, but I’m hoping to get chapter in November out.
I’ve done some work on Project Watt. I’ve also made the decision that I will wait until I complete the first “arc” before I consider working the plans regarding Early Access and reading it publicly. Project Watt is just a temporary name that I could refer it and have idea what I wanting to about it. I am also planning to put Project Watt in 90 Day early access, and longer delay.
