The only way I'll accept Huber getting glasses is if it's paired with a new haircut, comes after a 1 week/month break from EZA uploading stuff and the rest of the Allies all get post-timeskip redesigns too.
Huber plase get glasses

Honestly I'm starting to think Huber's vision isn't as bad as people are assuming. One of the more recent group streams he was sitting next to Kyle either on or behind the couch and could read the chat, and Kyle seemed surprised so it might not have been very big. At the same time it seems like he built going to the eye doctor as a much bigger deal that it really is, it's relatively quick and painless... and don't people with 20/20 vision still need to get a check up every now and then?
Yeah. I dunno why people are making such a big deal about it! It's not like Huber's eye's are truly in need of glasses or anything.
Just like there's really no reason to freak like this. Yes, we care about his sight no matter the severity, but he'll get it done when he gets it done.
Max efficiency. *ponders how much faster Retro's would get done with more editors*
Bring on the Full-Playthrough Fridays! I guess I'd welcome a Man Up (Nights) type show too. Although, I guess another editor is what they need the most.
A Huber game show could be fun to see, but I think there's a pretty decent likelihood that it would get old after a while if it was a regular thing.
It's the perfect candidate for a seasonal show after AFTR. They can bring it back for a limited run once a year, maybe change the rules or game type. One season it's Allies Feud, another it's 100-Allies Pyramid, Allies of Fortune, Ally-pardy, etc.
Hehe
But yes I also think a seasonal game show could be interesting.
Let the man do what he wants lol.
I'm pretty sure i need glasses aswell but its not that big a deal to not be able to read a sign thats 50m away. I honestly dont want to have this thing on my head at all times. Anyway.. this is not my story, but let Huber do what he wants, if he doesnt feel like going to go to the optometrist, who are we to force him.
What's happening?
Also, they've gained 30 patrons in ~10 hours.
At this rate even with the usual month end dip they could be safe.
Maybe everybody is signing up to watch and for that reason

That was one of the greatest "What the fuck?" moments in cinema history.
Rewatching the last 10 minutes of their fundraiser feels SO good!
Them dancing and feeling the love is so jolly :') . Their E3 coverage was amazing and they really deserve that studio. L&R

An extra editor or two and maybe getting patrons to capture some footage could easily lead to 2 retro's a year i reckon
I think i'm most excited about the prospect of full playthrough fridays being a thing again, it was my favorite thing they did at GT
And for that reason is a really good show (tough I understand those who preferred the AFTR-podcast style, I'd like it to be again a segment of the podcast too), I hope they do a second season eventually.
And I insist on the benefit that would have if the first episode was available for everyone on Youtube. I think it would be a really good moment to do it now that ep. 2 is up for patrons ("if you want to see more, go to Patreon and become a patron!"). but maybe they're waiting till every episode is up. They know better, I guess.
Btw:
Are people trolling them? I'm starting to get a little worried, is this sustainable? Actually real? I hope all thouse high pledges don't disappear or go back to the original ones overnight.

Loved this "And for that reason", I think having a fun topic helps a lot.
Very excited and hesitant about this huge sudden jump! Hope it sticks!

Gotta hope the person who raised his/her pledge 1,5k (if that is really confirmed to be true) can hold it for a few months, and the other people raising their pledges now too.
I'm skeptical but hoping to be wrong.
Seem to know better than us, otherwise I know I'd be raking in half of what they do.
Yes, that's what happened the day after the first episode dropped: they got 40+ new patrons.
When it comes to maximizing their potential with their youtube subs, nah. AFTR ep 1 needs to be free to the public and it's mind boggling that it isn't.

Thank me for pushing the Patreon so hard in the stream chat! We'll hit 52K in due time.
Be patient! I'm pushing the Patreon so hard so that Brandon Jones can live to see his 52K Sustainable Studio dream come true.
Don't be surprised if And for that Reason is just one of many reasons why we're on our way to giving Easy Allies 52K on Patreon.
It does and I wouldn't be surprised if it dips 3k to 4k this time (with it going back up to 47 or 48k (maybe 49k) before the 5th).
This insane growth from a few people isn't sustainable unfortunately.
I hope I am wrong and it's fantastic to see this amount of growth and seeing their patreon over 50k and let's all hope it stays that way, but I am too much of a realist (or pessimist I guess) to not see a big dip. That said, it clearly shows that it's not a pipedream to get over 50k consistently. They did get a bunch of new patrons and a bunch of new youtube subs and twitch followers and the more people know about them, the more people will support them on patreon.
EZA is consistently growing and that's the most important thing of all. They will get over 50k for months at a time eventually, but I don't think it will be the case at this moment.
But it's a fantastic feat nonetheless.
Congrats to them, it's well deserved.

Patreon as a whole isn't sustainable long term, but it will give them a cushion with some time to develop their brand further and grow so, eventually, they won't need to rely solely on Patreon.
I know it's good to be prudent when it comes to Patreon, but let's not go to the other extreme and be worried just because it's going up at a crazy rate. We all know it can drop, we all know about the start of the month shenanigans. I say let's enjoy this for the milestone that it is, be grateful for the momentum and see where it takes us.
Kyle's keeping The Final Bosman as his ace in the hole should he ever decide to create his own Patreon.Reposting, cause at the moment it's pretty relevant:
Huber Game Show! Come on!
EDIT: He'd be on point as a game show host with glasses.
Yup. As Brandon Jones would say, get hype but also

No matter what, it is a good thing that the pledges have increased. However, they WILL drop. This happens every time there is a boost. It just means that when everything settles, they will be averaging larger numbers than before the big spike. Like I said, it is absolutely, unquestionably a good thing. However, it is also important to set expectations and not be brutally discouraged if that number dips below $50,000 in the near future.
They skipped a bunch of stuff. Kyle also swapped out some things to talk about what the panel wanted (e.g. he wasn't gonna talk about Last of Us until Huber brought it up). I assume he limited it to 10 to save time. They'll cover most of the rest next week probably.
I guess that means there are a bunch of fans learking here since it appears to be where EZA most active community is. The patreon increase started right around the time we started celebrating here and when someone made a thread in the main topics discussion. Maybe that motivated people to start pledging since there was no significant activity anywhere else?
Era is an active EZA community with a number of lurkers, but so is the unofficial discord (which did the big surge) and I'd imagine the reddit page. But there's also twitter as well
And the 50 counter is from the last graphetron snapshot which i believe is at 9pm PST.
My guess it's a combination of a number things. The discord kicked things up a notch, people here and elsewhere noticed it, it fed into more jumping in as people feel motivated to contribute once a goal draws near. Plus And for that reason ep 2 dropped today.
His reactions to Starfox and Jump Force are probably whats driving this surge.
The MVP of E3.
