Hey guys! I hope you liked the Unknown video! :D
I just wanna give an update on what I'm doing next, because I think it might be something that will excite some of you.

Basically, right now Maffi is working on editing that Skull Merchant game I teased wayyy back but never got to finish before other stuff caught up. And I'M working on something else ... 𝘈 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰 👀

The thing is, I have SOOO much content from Lethal Company, it's like already an hour long just going through the clips, and I'm only two-thirds of the way done with all the footage. Obviously that's too much to have to go through (both the video would be too long, but also it would take so long to edit, at that point I may as well make two separate videos), and that puts me in a position where I basically have to choose between what to do with the large amount of footage I have:

A) Edit only the first session into a "full" 30-minute video, which is exactly how long the clips I've been able to get out of it is, but where the second session then may then never see the light of day if I don't make a second video
- or -
B) Edit both sessions into a single 30-minute "best moments" video, where the video is more condensed and funny, but I have to make hard decisions on what clips to use and what other still-funny clips I just have to delete forever


I kind of think the right choice actually depends on you guys. For example, I think Option (B) is probably a bit better if nothing else, but if you guys actually really want Lethal Company content, then Option (A) might actually be a really good choice if I then just *commit* to making that second video! If there would be enough interest asking me to make another video regardless of what I chose, then it might fit perfectly that the two sessions can become each their own videos.

I decided, instead of trying to guess the best approach for my audience (you guys), it's better if I just ask you :D
So I basically wanted to ask all of you:




=== How much do you want Lethal Company content from me and the guys? ===

Are you super hyped to see us play, and all the shenanigans you have come to expect from our group? Would you actually like it to be a series, with more videos to look forward to from that game, than just a single one? If I did upload it, is "MORE LETHAL COMPANY" something you'd have asked for anyway?
- OR -
Do you more want the variety, to see the Lethal Company video as "THE" Lethal Company video from our group, similar to how there might be other "THE"-videos about other games we play, even if that means the loss of some otherwise still-good moments?




I think it all comes down to the above, and how many of you think one way or the other :) I don't think there's any particular wrong choice here, if I go with the first one and just never get around to editing the second, that first video is still really funny, and if I go with the second one but more is being demanded anyway, we could maybe just play a third time x) Both are good options regardless!

I'd love to hear what you guys think! Vote in the poll on what I should do!
Also gonna be reading the comments on this one <3 

I want ALL the content, more Lethal Company sounds great!

I want a single condensed video, then other stuff

Been a couple of weeks, I got more updates for you guys.

We've been hard at work on the content since last we spoke, both me and Maffi (my new fulltime editor, you might know her from The People 👀). We've actually fully finished the Alan Wake video now, and we're about two-thirds of the way on the newest PTB one. My plan is to finish both of those before that big stream I mentioned in the last post, and then publish them both during the stream.

I've also been hard at work planning that stream, and I think I got the list of milestone rewards down. I don't wanna spoil anything, but it may or may not involve maid costumes ... O_O
I'm hesitant to say when it will happen, but currently I'm hoping it could all be done and ready for Saturday 16th. The first of the videos would be likely 16th or 17th then.

=======

On top of that ... I've been invited to  @Ayrun 's Sandbag World Cup O_O That's happening already tomorrow, you can read the announcement for it here:  https://twitter.com/AyrunTV/status/1764059722397757613 
There's also the brackets and list of participants here:  https://twitter.com/AyrunTV/status/1765689498757644477 

I'm kinda scared xD These are big names we're going up against, both me and Lew are a part of this. We're not gonna be facing each other in the first matches, but if we both happen to make it to the finals, we have to face off against each other (I'm really not expecting to make it past round 1, I'm too nervous to set that expectation xD)




Btw, with regards to that personal thing that's going on in my life and has been holding me from spending as much time these last few months ... it's basically almost done! I think I'll definitely be done and in the clear before the 16th. I'll reveal it in the big stream, so make sure you don't miss the start of it!


=======

Also, I just have to say, jesus christ the response on the last post. Thank you so much for all the kind words <3
In a way, I have been very scared that my months of absence would lead to all of my viewers leaving, but so many more of you showed up to that post than I thought, that it kind of gave me a burst of relief from the anxiety-inducing fear of taking this absence! I'm sure the numbers will still be down once I return, but I can feel that you guys have my back, and my community is still here for me

So thank you <3

I'll see you on the other side when that big stream is happening. Or tomorrow in Ayrun's tournament (I won't be streaming, but I'll be recording - Lew will be streaming however, and Ayrun will also spectate the whole cup!).

Have a wonderful day :D

Alright guys. As promised yesterday, I will give you guys an update on the whole situation with the channel.
Lots of stuff has been happening behind the scenes, and you guys haven't seen anything from me for a long time.

So, update time.

A little while ago, I made a post explaining why there had been no content as of late. In case you need a refresher, it was a combination of being really busy with my final exam before graduation, as well as a huge personal thing that happened to lie right on top and after it. Those things took all my time from morning till night, and I had been completely unable to do any editing whatsoever.

Anyways, here's the update since then: It's done!! - I am officially graduated! I now hold a Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering (and I also graduated my final exam with the top grade too!! allow me to be a little proud xD)

That means we are now at the breaking point: Either I become a full-time YouTuber, with all the risks that are involved ... or I have to find a normal job, after which I probably won't have enough time to edit too, especially with how long it takes to edit my videos (*painful laugh*).

As much as Patreon has helped, back when I asked you guys if you would be okay with it just so I could increase my chances, a complete livelihood is still just out of reach. Ironically, this time where I haven't uploaded has only made it worse, hehe.
But this is my dream! And as I said two posts ago, I want to come back in 2024 with BIG plans! I know it's going to be risky, and I'm basically taking that risk in the savings I've accumulated over the years, to supplement my livelihood and buy me time to do this *just a bit longer*, in the hopes that I can just cross that barrier that is ever so close. I'm giving my all in 2024 just to chase that dream

I really, really want to.




But anyway, what have I been up to since then? Why did I say videos would probably be in late January/early February, and then here we are in late February and nothing has come up?

Well two things: For one, that big personal thing is taking longer than I had expected. The worst of it is over, but I'm still half-busy with it, and I probably can't get anything completed before that is done. For two ... 👀 I have also actually done the big thing I wanted to do: I went through the whole process of setting up a complete registered business, such that I could hire my very own full-time editor - AND SHE HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!! This process took a little longer than I had actually anticipated xD On top of that, I have also been planning a BIG comeback stream event (An uncapped subathon ... this could be a horrible mistake), all while having to deal with that personal thing. I'll share details during that stream.

But despite the prolonged absence, the ball is actually slowly starting to roll again now, and I actually have several things in the works already:
- My fulltime editor has already begun, and is working on making the Alan Wake PTB video we recorded!
- I have a Lights Out video ready to be edited immediately after, by whoever gets time first
- We had the PTB just yesterday, which I am personally overseeing and prioritizing
- And on top of all that, Yogi (my *part*-time editor) has not had much time due to life, but has generously almost finished the previous (although now outdated) Rift Reaction. I'm thinking I'm gonna upload that at a later date as a " Lost Episode" or something, it might not be relevant anymore, but idk the video was still just funny to me and I loved what Yogi has done with it, so I think it's a shame not to xD

Maybe some of these videos will be in scrambled order. I hope you guys are okay with receiving an Alan Wake video after yesterday's PTB, haha

But yeah, currently the plan is to get these videos *ready*. While I still have these other personal things on the plate, I can't really continue to do any of this, so I want to make sure I finish that first, I hope you can understand. But then, we're gonna do that BIG subathon event, and then DURING that, release the videos over time in rapid succession to treat you guys to some fun content to make up for the time lost!

Sound look a good plan? :D
Hopefully I can finish that very soon so that the newest PTB videos won't be *too* outdated

The big comeback stream itself will also be kind of huge. It being a subathon, it will have tons of stretch goals and stuff to unlock. I plan on opening up a place for you guys to suggest rewards (or punishments...) for that when we get closer, over on Discord. It'll be a huge long stream with multiple games to play, probably Lethal Company with the boys, maybe some Phasmophobia, definitely Open Lobbies in DBD! A way to begin the 2024 year of content with a bang! I'm looking forward to it, but also kind of nervous haha

This is the year I'm going all-in to try and grow my channel. Maybe having the editor will double my growth. Maybe I can put more focus on Patreon, and try to make it a little more worth it for you guys. Maybe there'll be more sponsorships, so I can keep doing what I dream of doing. And then of course, we'll have all the big plans for 2024 that I listed in the previous update post! And I hope you're all with me for the ride <3





Well, this update turned into a bit more of a ramble than a short and to-the-point update post. Sorry for the wall, or more like whole-ass construction site of text xD

I'm hesitant to give any ETA's since last time I did, well we're way past that now - but I know some of you will ask, so I will at least *try* to give some sort of guess: I'm ***hoping*** I can finish the PTB video in the regular 2 weeks, and that the personal thing will be done by then. Crossing fingers for that!

All in all though, it bears repeating: Thank you guys so much for enabling my dream <3
If you have ANY questions, please leave them in the comments below! I will head to sleep now, but I will answer as many of them as I can tomorrow!

I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day, you amazing guys!
See you very soon! <3

Hey guys, it's been a while. I kind of owe you guys an update, but the new PTB *just* dropped, so I just want to announce:

THE BIG PTB STREAM is happening RIGHT NOW! Things are getting back on track, and I'm joined by Robbie, Exo, Noir, and Lew to play the newest Chapter WITHOUT KNOWING! If you've missed the content, this is a great way to get back! As usual, I am recording, and Robbie will be streaming his POV, where you will see his initial reactions to the killer way before any of us get to see!

So come swing by, watch it live!! :D
--->  https://twitch.tv/MrRoben  <---

I'll be there in the stream too, and I'll be reading the chat right along with him from the second-game onwards!

==========

Tomorrow, I promise I will post the big update, telling you all about what's happened to the channel, what is currently going on, where the content is, and all that. Honestly there's a lot to talk about, hence my decision to not put it on top of today. I hope that is okay with you guys <3 I'll see you then!!

Hey guys! Hope you've had a great New Year's, welcome to 2024!
2024 will be a BIG year for this channel, I'll tell more about that on the end of the post!

But first, I just wanna give an update on the current state. I am graduating my *final* degree of education in TWO WEEKS, and all December has just been day in day out working on my thesis xD I'm sorry that you haven't been able to get any videos, I also miss editing for you guys. I literally JUST handed it in today

I will have to disappoint a little bit further by saying the busy times aren't over just yet, I still have to prepare for my final exam and presentation, and immediately after I got a big event I need to take care of. I'm hoping I can knock a little video in somewhere in-between, maybe that Rift Reaction from last time (which Yogi is gracefully helping with in the background!), but I can't guarantee anything until February x)

I hope you guys understand, and I hope you will bear with me in this busy time, ironically the part that will turn YouTube into my full-time job, is also the part that most risks my livelihood. Super thanks to all of those of you who continuously support me through Patreon, Twitch Subs, or the few of you with YouTube Memberships. You really keep me afloat, just a little longer!


Anyway, when I *do* come back, I promise it will be in a BIG way! With my education just ... well, fully done!, I plan on going ALL IN on YouTube and start treating it like a fulltime thing! 2024 is a year with big plans, including:
- Taking the risk of hiring a fulltime editor out of my savings just to double content for you guys
- Making more *unique* DBD videos, on top of the existing "just fun gameplay" ones!
- Planning big event streams and content
- Spicing it up with more videos from other games (that don't have to replace DBD anymore due to the editor! Who's interested in the bois playing some Lethal Company...? 👀)
- More Patreon and Members perks I'll see what I can do with
- Merch ......?

So many things. It will be the complete hail-mary in trying to ensure YouTube will actually be possible to survive on. As you may know from the Patreon posts, earnings are not *quite* there (and that hasn't changed), but I really do love my job so I will try everything to see what works! At least for the next year, then we'll see. It's gonna be risky, but it's gonna be fun! >:D

Thank you so much for your support! I truly miss talking to you guys in chat and in comments, but hey, there's comments on this post too! I'll be around in there!
And if you wish to support me in this endeavor, then please consider becoming a patron, it really is the thing that most directly supports me <3

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! LOOKING FORWARD TO 2024 WITH YOU ALL!

Hey guys, bringing an update to you all about the upcoming video!
... It's done! :D

I'm rendering it right now, and I must say, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I cannot wait for you guys to see my reactions to the THIRD PERSON CAMERA the moment I load in, and the jumpscares and reactions I got from the other guys throughout the match. All building up to that single funniest moment I think we ever had in a KYF that I linked you guys to earlier, now edited with subtitles and everything xD

The video should be up TOMORROW! :D I'll make the thumbnail then, and if all goes well, that should be the last of it!

The video will be out in early access later tonight for all Patreon supporters <3 Keep an eye on the Discord announcement and the Patreon post!

See you guys in the comments of that video! :D

Hey all, I have a very special announcement that I would like to share with everyone who's interested!
====================

Last year, you guys here on my channel's Community tab encouraged me to do the thing I've always wanted to try, and hosted my very own watch party of The Game Awards, where we all dressed up, and participated in what basically is the Oscars equivalent in gaming.

This year, I've taken it a step further. I've bought my very-own (and utterly ridiculous) suit, and prepared to be your host yet again for The ZET Awards 2023, happening THIS THURSDAY, December 7th! We're gonna hop on together, and watch all the latest game trailers and announcements, and also learn what is the Game of the Year 2023 at the very end.

If any of you are interested in participating in the event, I've made an Event in our Discord server, which you can subscribe to in order to get notified when it goes live:  https://discord.gg/banter?event=1181266468961255454 
Bring your own formal outfit (if you have any), so that we can ensure we'll be the finest twitch chat on the block!

====================

The event will start 30 minutes before The Game Awards starts, but we will also be playing our regular Thursday DBD on the stream 2-3 hours before that, so if that's to your taste, swing by earlier to have some fun with us! This stream is something that I hold near and dear to my heart, so for those of you who wish to participate I'll see you in there ❤️

Check The Game Awards official page for more info, including precise air times:  https://thegameawards.com/ 
I'll post again on the day it goes live :D

As for the rest of you, I'll see you again when I finish the next video! :D
