The fact that windette watches youtubers I watch is such a cool concept to me, mainly because of how easy it is to se youtubers as nothing more than a well of enjoyment instead of a real human being with thoughts and opinions of their own.
For however much you called this nothing, it really was something. It was full of empowerment, reflection and questions. In other words, philosophy. It was great. Also depending on how you define start and finish, I could definitely be either, I have a bunch of songs, animations and other art pieces that I have finished and released (some of them spanning multiple years of planning, only to slap them together in a matter of hours) and then I also have a bunch of them that I never really finished, usually because I just didn't feel as though they were done and if I didn't finish them on the day I just lost motivation. Anyway, this moron is excited for everything you have planned :)
@@evihippogrief772 I mean, kinda. Nothing is a subset of philosophy. Semi-pointless, undirected questioning with no attempt at answering them, because the answers are not the point of the questions, is a powerful form of philosophy.
honestly i just started "speedrunning" hollow knight today ("speedrunning" because I'm not good enough at the game to actually be dedicated to a true speedrun) and recording it with me just talking about random stuff as I'm playing, I'm planning on just editing the whole thing into a bunch of clips and then drawing sprites of my persona getting frustrated or hella excited during certain parts of the run lol, and honestly I hope I can keep the motivation to finish it :]
I speedran three games, mario kart 8, metroid fusion and celeste. Fusion because there's an ending that require to complete the game 100% below 2 h (i'll retry during the holidays). Celeste and Mario because i wanted. I got quite good times, but nothing good enough to tell people about. ( celeste 56:XX. First speedrun 2h+. Mario rainbow road n64 200cc sub 1min. Started at 1min5sec.) Why am i telling this ???
This was honestly an amazing video. Just a random stream of thoughts video to make something to throw at the wall, and it somehow was extremely interesting and stupid at the same time. I love it.
It's easy to disregard nothingness because there's no thought available to encapsulate it. There's no metaphor that fits because, by definition, once the nothingness becomes tangible, it ceases to exist. -Josh Worth
Listening to this was actually in a way both inspiring and motivating despite being a video about ‘nothing’ - it got me thinking about my own projects. It’s easy for me to start things but holy shit is it hard to go through with them until they are finished - that’s why I have SOOO many unfinished drafts and stories of my writing. I love creating new worlds through my writing but I always either loose motivation or worry about people thinking it’s bad quality. Some of the drafts on my computer I’ve had for over a decade now and it amazes me when I go back to them to see just how different I write now. Better in a way I guess but also just so different. Your words that people put too much thought into what they create now is so true - sometimes you’ve gotta just do what you want instead of always thinking what others will enjoy. Thank you ❤️
honestly this video feels like my brain (in that it's just weirdly barely interconnected thoughts) I personally struggle to finish things if they're "for me" (aka if they're not work-related) - motivation tends to kind of... fall through? I'll start creating a worldbuild for a comic, game or book, with characters and the start of a story, or with mechanics and the skeleton of a playable demo (if I'm feeling really motivated), I'll start drawing or sculpting something, and then.... nothing. I get demoralized, and I leave the project behind, incomplete. Did manage to teach myself the basics of a new program yesterday though - that counts as something I completed, right?
I think your content are very entertaining. I'll probably see you in your stream. Until then, keep playing the best god damn Hollow Knight of your life.
Love the conversation on original content vs trash that fits the algorithm RU-vid has just made it hard to grow, been making videos for a while and still pretty damn small myself
I'm the person to start things but can't finish them. I'm into writing and I get so many ideas for snippets, but I have a hard time actually writing the scenes out and evolving them into full grown stories, so they mostly remain small, single scenes. And if I finish them, I get back to them a week later and I'm suddenly so dissatified with them and hate every word I've written.
in all honesty, this has motivated me to start making HK videos. Not Let's Plays, but guides and tips and useful information. In a nutshell, you but less insult
Its so refreshing to see creators make what they want to make. A video is a video, A schedule does not need to be applied, and I love creating little things to post on my scrapbook of a channel.
started this video thinking that you were gonna be talking about void ended it feeling better thanks windette for making nothing feel like something ^-^
Not what I expected. But the content I subscribed for. You're totally right!! RU-vid is too focused rn. I sometimes scroll through the main page looking for a quick interesting video to watch while eating and I find nothing. Cause everything is focused on themes and mindless videos don't exist anymore. Keep on it dude
My English not good , but your video are fun , especially the charm one, u did make my travel in hollow knight more easy , keep making more videos, even another game, is ok. A fun guys like u , the video u make will make more people happy 😁
I start a lot of things, like a really big lot of things. Like millions of words of things in less than a year. Writing is my thing, and I can do so for hours and hours and hours every day. I never have a plan, I never have a story board, I never actually do it to make something. I just do it because I want to, and it's better than nothing. I've probably written well over 10 million words in my lifetime purely for something nobody is ever going to see, just starting out with an idea and running with it. And I've finished one actual story. In 19,100 words, or 81k characters excluding spaces. I've gotten someone close on a few, much longer projects admittedly but never finished them, either because I don't have the skill or patience to do 100k words and keep it paced right, or the idea is just too complex for me to stick with. The biggest culprit of all of those is one I've gone back to a few time, an idea of a mutagenic fall out of questionably made bioweapons that I came up with back when I was like 12, I filled an entire notebook with it. Then didn't like it and lost it, then again after my 18th I picked it up again and dropped... 40k words or so on it again. Went a direction about midway I didn't like and again just tossed it. Fast forward to 19, where I was doing a story and I got damn far. Like 76,500 words, according to google docs, far. Before dropping it starting second arc. And that was really what got me kind of refining my idea a little more and keeping on the starting idea that got me writing in the first place, which lead to the first finish a little over month ago even if relatively short. Keeping in mind, these are all like incredibly short stories. 76,500 words is only 124 pages. Still impressive but nowhere as close to what I want to be doing consistently, and even more so on my own creative values. The thing is, I would fucking LOVE to bring this all up to the table on RU-vid, but I've not found a way to do that. Especially since my voice sucks so reading it is off the table, and I write personally and sporadically so I'm no where's near being able to hold some type of "lets chat while I write" stream. My ideas almost always start at some wacky place, or some thing I thought of knowing what I know, and the way I fill out the idea itself is entirely something only I can do. I have stuff on my phone that you'd swear were some back story to a slasher/horror/lovecraftian thing and yet barely sit on the idea of being "just a look and you're dead". I have stuff that someone would look at and go "wow, that's mundane as fuck" to only later be like "how in the world did we get *here*?!" in the span of 9k words. I LOVE playing with words to make something you'd see one way seen as something you wouldn't think twice about or vise versa. SEE! Three minutes was all it took for you to get me to talk about all of that.
This is suddenly the best video I’ve ever seen. It feels like I’ve been watching you for years when really it’s been like, 3 months? 5 months? You’re one of the most entertaining creators I’ve seen on this platform in a while. Thank you for this Windy, this was a brilliant video to watch. As for something I DID complete: - I recently finished my first ever multi chapter story. A 15 chapter fanfiction about reincarnation and hoping your family stays together, and I’m really proud of it. Something I have yet to do? - See the southern version of the Aurora Borealis. I would recommend it, it’s pink and I can’t wait to go.
1:10 it's basically the same thing of the "if you put a lasagna over another lasagna, you still have one lasagna" Jokes aside, sometimes i also wonder strange questions like this one, and i'm happy to say that this turned out to be a great video!
I don't struggle to start projects but I struggle to finish them, so I hold myself back without knowing I am, and now I'm hesitant to do anything on my channel. That's why it isn't going anywhere.
ive got a really, really bad cold right now, I've been watching nothing but youtube for the past few days because I didn't think i had any energy and I didn't think i had anything i could do. I don't know exactly where I'm going with this but thank you for getting me out of bed today
i like youtubers like dougdoug and dani as well. i do watch some mainstream channels, but the people who just do what they like and get rewarded for it are my favorites. shows me that they care more and will do what they like until they get it right
I fall into the same category with hard to start projects but also hard to finish them. I hold myself to a high standard I know I can’t match because I don’t have experience, but since I don’t want to make beginner level stuff I’m in a weird zone of both.
To be honest... I actually understood everything you were talking about. I came in here expecting not to, but could easily visualize whatever was being said. Well done improvising this if you did. It was awesome!
Ah, so you’re kind of the opposite of me in a half-sense. I’m pretty hard working (I’d say), but only with what I NEED to do. Im fine with having nothing to do, if I have nothing to do, it gives me the opportunity to do what I want. I also start things, but struggle to finish them. I DO also really like the two people you listed (DougDoug and Dani!) Glad ya mentioned them. *MILK.*
I am one who easily start but trouble finishing. I started youtube and i am great at it cuz i CAN'T finish it but made a plan for an animation (that I must finish it but nowhere in the mood to finish. I also got many games I ain't done eith and don't wanna finish cuz i ain't interested in it. BUUUUUTTT I LOVE HOW I CAN DO RU-vid and am likely to finish my little editing cuz I make huge plans and settle with little but good. Note i usually got no room on my devise to make huge fucking videos but enough to edit 10-20 minute videos but larger means less edits i can add cuz less storage will take the bigger vids with edits. Plus like your content
Kinda ironic that a video about nothung filled my head with many things. Also, for whatever reason i just imagine you recording this near blue lake with a butterfly and chiming crystal right beside you.
This was strangely inspiring. Thanks windette. this idiot is going to look up some music creation how to videos because I can write lyrics but have no idea how to make music for them.
I for some reason really hoped that the video would end with a clip of the knight standing before the hk to imply that everything we just heard was the knight "speaking" to hk while hk still chained just wants to die already
I have been trying to finish a song for ages, and then last night I composed a song start to finish in two hours... Why couldn't that productive spurt be on my Research Project ;-;
im an "artsy" person and it all comes from my dreams, drawing to wanting to write, but If i tell someone my dream then the story is done, it has been told. I never get past that with my works cuz they are done by my standards. I have done my job of sharing my 'idea'. The thing is the one time someone actually asked me more about one of my dreams, has now become 2 years+ project of making a comic of said dream that is now my career like wft!!
I am a person that starts but doesn't finish projects. I have about 5 out of 6 of my draws are filled with half finished projects. Most the time I will start something get board and start something else then when I look in the draws I think what was I trying to make. A few things I remember then a few I don't and the stuff I do finish usually gets gifted to other people.
