    Studying Pixels is taking a hiatus

    We have been podcasting diligently every week for approximately two years. Now, we decided to take a hiatus to recover a bit and organize some things in our private and professional lives. We look forward to returning, because we have got so many more episodes already planned. It's going to be fun! If you are a Studying Pixels Plus subscriber, you do not have to do anything. We will pause our Patreon campaign while we are on hiatus, so you will not be billed. If you wish to stay in the loop, please stay subscribed or join our Discord, which will also be alive and running the entire time. You are the best and we are looking forward to resume our journey!
