Remember, you owe us nothing. I have been really enjoying the Enshrouded play through you have been doing. Thank you for the fun and I look forward to seeing what's next. :)
I second Enshrouded. Valheim is mostly dead and the updates aren't getting imo. I hated Mistlands and doubt I'll like Ashland's. Whereas Enshrouded seems amazing so far
Sorry to hear about the problems, I hope things are rectified soon for you. As for cutting back to once a week and what to play, I would say play what you enjoy, it's your enthusiasm and fun in the games you play that first got me interested and subbed, so that same enthusiasm for the content will keep me watching :) Real life always comes first though, so take care of you and yours ❤
Thanks! Seems I'm not the only RU-vidr (according to other Wanderers) who have been having a rough year with the content claims. Will probably start using less music... See if that helps.
You are by far one of my favorite streamers. You were there when I first got into Valheim and was utterly lost :) And your vids are all so friendly, not just fun but playful too, laid back, creative, and very well produced! And then you came into Enshrouded and that's also been wonderful. I understand 100% about the cutting back to one per week. Sorry it's been so rough for you, and I hope things get better soon. Thank you for letting us know so we can support you! *Whatever* you need to do for yourself and your family is always first priority. I will always be happy to wait and watch whenever you have time to share. Regarding upcoming focus, I'd be happy to watch anything. My suggestion is do the one which brings you the most joy.
Adulting!!!!! Ugh!!! I feel ya man. we only just finished the first quarter 2024 and I'm already ready done for the year.. ooof. As for the frequency of videos per month and patreon, up to you the times you post. That is what's nice about patreon/memberships: up to you. please remember, you're not alone here
Sorry to hear about the troubles Hiccup, I personally dont mind what series you continue with, I enjoy watching your content and the positivity and enthusiasm you bring. Keep doing you bro and it'll be all good 👍
Thanks for the update. I totally understand! I believe most of us are on the struggle bus these days. I really enjoy your content and will continue to watch whatever you decide to play and film. You have such an amazing positive energy! I’m hoping things get better for you. We are rooting for you! I’m really loving your Enshrouded series as I’m currently playing the game, but I love Valheim as well. Whatever you decide, remember to factor in what you would most enjoy playing. A happy Hiccup = a happy digital hermitage and wanderers. ❤
Sorry to hear about the copy right troubles. I hope you get it figured out soon. 😢 I’ve been avoiding your Enshrouded videos as I haven’t bought it yet and I didn’t want you to spoil anything. Sorry for the lack of views. I’ve been enjoying Smalland and Valheim a lot though. I’ll say a prayer for you and your family bro. Do what you need to do for your family. ♥️
We will always watch whatever you can give us (my favorite is Enshrouded). Your videos are worth the wait. Wishing you a huge turn for the better! -- Puleaze
Stay strong man. Life gets ya sometimes it happens. Best of luck to you and all your endeavors! I'll cast my vote for enshrouded, and come back to valheim after ashlands.
Hey, I didn't see this until now. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, that really sucks, but you won't lose us just because you need to take care of other stuff and spend your time on other important stuff, we understand. I really love your videos, they are such a comfort to me, take the time you need and take care of your family, we love you!
You go at your own pace! Whatever you need to do to make sure you are financially stable and happy is what you gotta do! We all understand and I can’t speak for everyone but I’ll still come back every week! Doesn’t matter when you post I love your content and your personality and energy. All good vibes! 😂 but seriously we understand and we support you. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face not much can do that these days!!
Sorry to hear about the troubles. I'm a big fan of your Valheim series so I'll definitely be watching those when Ashlands drops, but I've also checked out your Enshrouded series since it's fun to watch you play it.
Man, I've been a viewer for a short while now and I do enjoy your videos and I cannot wait for your Ashlands playthrough. But, the universe has strange ways of functioning and I wish you the best. Till then I'm going to rewatch this playthrough. Goodluck, my friend. And God bless.
Life definitely likes to kick you in the butt and we will always be here to lend you our boot to kick its ass right back take care of the family and it’s always good to ramble gets it off your chest 👍
Thank you for being transparent. I for believe gaming is a way to relax and unwind but nit a priority. You must take care of you and your family first. That I understand and admire. Will miss all the amazing verity of the videos, but am happy to watch whatever you put out. Like others have said your enthusiasm and energy is what makes your videos so special. Please share what will make you happy. ❤
Was planning on seeing one up along with RU-vid memberships this year sometime soon... But i would feel terrible going through with them while dropping back to less content...
I’m so sorry to hear that bro. I’m pretty sure most of us understand you. I hope everything will go well with your financial situation. I have enjoyed your videos so much and they have brought me joy and happiness in my low moments and also moments where I want to find inspiration. You are a blessing bro, I will be praying for you! God bless you bro! ❤🙏🏽
Sorry to hear you’re in this position and I’m hoping for the best for you, as always. I’ve been wondering what might be standing in the way of your growth, since your production quality has always been top shelf. The music thing is ridiculous, since it seems pretty obvious you’re doing it right. Maybe a larger, more connected youtuber could help? The strike bots hurt everybody. That needs to change. As for the temporary refocus, I’d vote Enshrouded until Ashlands, mostly because I want to see you get to all the cool stuff in Enshrouded
Completely understandable mate! i really enjoy you content! i hope you will keep doing it! and your situations will get sorted out soon! great great content creater!
Damn, that sucks about RU-vid, wont change me coming back and watching though... and difficult choice between the two games. Personally, I think it would be a lot of fun to do both games. One week Valhiem, the next week Enshrouded. Force us to go back and watch the previous episode to remind us what you were up too... and you get extra watch time AND extra ad revenue :P
Noo, you're not annoying, don't worry ! Life can suck sometime and with how it's going right now, it's more than understable. The copyright problem is going way too far, another artist I follow just talked about it. But from what I understood, sometime it's a third party trying to claim a sound ? I'm not sure about the whole thing, but yeah, it's not even the artist's fault if your videos get claimed...
Bud first off life comes first don't apologize for that , my vote is for enshrouded then when new dune comes out it goes to that.1 way to solve the RU-vid thing no music.
I'm sorry to hear that you and your wife are experiencing these difficulties - life issues suck, don't they? (Esp the copyright claims - ridiculous.) I think you need to look ahead to the future with regard to the channel: i.e. plan for its resumption some day. Envision a time when the copyright claims aren't an issue and finances are easier. What would you want then to hit the ground running on making the channel better? (esp in line with the plans you said you already had worked out with Ember). I think looking at your channel stats and what has brought you the most viewers to date might be good. So make that the priority, rather than what we want. As for what I would like to see, since you've asked: I will admit that I have not been following your Enshrouded series. Honestly - I went and downloaded smallland at Christmas and haven't played it yet..! I downloaded that and Medieval Dynasty at the same time and didn't want to confuse myself so started with MD first. then went through a phase where - life stuff - I wasn't doing any computer games at all and now I've just started a new run through of Valheim in prep for Ashlands. I stopped watching your Smallland series because I didn't want to find out spoilers, but once I'm playing it properly, I will catch up on it, hopefully. (and maybe one day I'll get to enshrouded too....!) So for me, the answer would be Valheim every time. But I can understand that there's not much doing at the moment in that game, unless you want to start the Ashlands run - Irongate did release info on how the Ashlands update will affect an already existing world, and I know you don't like spoilers but reading that document (which actually isn't that spoilery) would allow you to start the Ashlands run earlier without being too worried about having issues with the update when it comes. If you go to the valheim website, and click on 'support', its down under 'help articles', dated 26 March, titled 'Getting ready for the ashlands'. One other thing. You didn't mention anything about how long you envision this financial difficulty being, whether its something like "I gotta work hard for 6 months then I can go back to 'normal'" or its more a case of "this will be the new normal". If its the former, I was thinking - As I understand it, most of the time that doing these videos takes is taken up by editing, rather than actual game play (correct me if I'm wrong). Is it worth still playing secondary games and recording stuff, but holding off on editing until a later date? Just a thought. Anyway, regardless of all this - really hope & pray things get massively better for you all very soon - if nothing else, with your dogs. I'm a dog owner myself - and when they're not well, its just horrible. xxx
Thank you for your thoughts. It's all up in the air at the moment and I'm kinda flailing about trying to figure things out. But when the dust settles and i have a plan I'll share it. I always like to keep the Wanderers informed if i have the time to do so.
Most creators i watch cut all music. Its not only happening to you. Only defense against copyright is cutting all music. There are companies/ppl that look for vids with music just to falsely claim it. Atleast thats according to kage848, meatwagon22, gameedged, raykit to mention a few.
Ugh, i hate that, and im extra frustrated that it's happening to do many others... Yeah, I'll have to cut out music it's what it's looking like like you said. Bummer bummer.
It bums me out that you are being dragged down by bs. I'm sure you started this for fun and any money would just be gravy. To have the headaches with RU-vid while you are trying to play within the rules must be so frustrating. We are all here for fun, especially you. I've followed a few creators that have been beat down by the copyright hammer and other YT drama and just quit. For my poll input; like you said, you are right at the end of Smalland so that one will end clean. Enshrouded is my current addiction but, you are going to hit the end of the content sooner than you think (aside from endless build content you could do). So basically I would think 1) Conclusion to Smalland 2) Enshrouded to current end-game which will likely line up with 3) Back to Valheim for Ashlands. I hope that what ever time and effort you put into your content makes you happy, not stressed out. You and Ember have had enough going on that gaming should be your refuge, not more stress. Thank you for letting us in a little bit. I'll keep enjoying, liking and commenting on what ever comes out. And to copy kbcarte420...Patreon maybe?
Yeah, RU-vid has been tougher this year... I think i agree with your line up of finish smalland, burn though Enshrouded, and hit up Ashlands when it comes out. We'll see what others say, but that actually seems to be what i and most Wanderers want to see as well. As for the patreon... I was planning on setting one up along with my RU-vid memberships this year, but i would feel terrible to set those up while cutting back on content...
Hey man, I hope things get better for you and your wife! I will say, I know you like using the music of smaller artists, but if the company you're getting the licenses from isn't willing to play ball and is leaving you hanging for 30 days, you should find a different music solution in order to protect your YT revenue stream.
❤ Maybe remove the songs for a bit. Make youtube chill out. Enshrouded is cool to focus on till ashlands(which I think is in June). Take your time. Life gets in the way all the time. No apologies needed! We will be here.
