These are the NCS videos I like the most, playing games while talking about your life. You kind of stopped that in the last year or so and it took away from your uniqueness to other LPers. Glad to hear you're back to your old self and improving your lifestyle.
Yeah that was the thing. I jumped ship and he just wasn't the same guy anymore, making those shallow vids, not continuing his audio diaries/vlogs that're nice. I really hope he'll make a comeback this year. Also if he needs more time to do other things, don't make LPs as your top priority; he's been suffering so much, then and now.
I'm so glad that your feeling better. It's good that you have friends like Emile to look out for you. Here's hoping that 2022 will be much better for all of us!
Hearing that level of energy from you in this video put such a smile on my face. I'm just beyond happy to hear how much better you're doing, Tim! Much love and I wish the absolute best for 2022, because you deserve it!
Chugga, I don't know if you'll be reading this, but I want to thank you for being there for Tim and motivating him like the way you did. I always knew you were a great guy, but this proves it again!
I'm so glad to hear you're doing better, Tim! We only met a few times at ConBravo (I made you a Yoshi egg with sunflowers to represent Hinawa - not sure if you remember!), and I've been subbed to you and have been a fan of yours for longer than I can remember. Over the last year, I know myself and a lot of your followers and fans have been concerned; this video is like a breath of fresh air - it's evident in your voice and your tone that you're doing better, and I'm so, so happy for you! As someone who's trying to get a hypothyroidism diagnosis and has been dealing with a lot of the same things you have, it's wonderful to hear you're getting everything under control. Keep fighting the good fight! You deserve it all and more!
Man you’ve got a real good friend in Emile to be able to help you out and care enough to take you to the doctor. That just doesn’t happen...I’d be willing to bet there aren’t many people that have friends that would be willing to do something like that. Don’t take that for granted...and I’m sure you don’t. I’m glad he was there for you in your dark hours. Y’all are good people and I wish y’all nothing but the best.
THANK GOODNESS for amazing friends!!! I'm so freaking happy they took you to the doc and that you are feeling better. You really had us worried! Glad to hear you are feeling better and recovering, and that you are happier! 😊
Hey Tim, So happy to hear you sounding like your old self again. I have been watching you for the past 7 years and it brings so much warmth to my heart that you are doing better. Nothing can substitute for being close to friends and family. Just wanted to say keep it up my friend, and a big thank you for helping me get through some rough times in my life with the entertainment your videos have provided. Here’s to a happy 2022!
I’ve been watching you for well over a decade at this point, I’ve never got a chance to meet you at any cons, most of my travelling goes to the GDQs. But I felt like listening to a long overdue chat with an old friend. Love seeing you back to normal, you have great friends but also hundreds maybe even thousands of people that care more than you know about you. Stay safe Tim, we’re all here!
I am so happy to hear you're doing well Tim. I've been subscribed to your channel close to a decade now, and I was really worried about you. Stay motivated buddy!!
This video is like a breath of fresh air, Tim. Its the happiest and most energetic you have sounded in a video in a very long time. Sounds like you are improving physically, mentally, and spiritually and I could not be happier for you.
The bugs you described definitely sounds like bed bugs, they do stink when killed as a warning signal for the rest of them. And they do bite bad, it starts slow with individual bites that you think could be small nicks from other stuff but it can get real bad if you let them thrive. I had them for a short while (no idea where they came from) but I basically cleaned the whole room from top to bottom thoroughly. Lucky I got them early and they never came back. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, I'll keep my fingers crossed for your continued health. 2021 wasn't a great year for sure, social connections were almost completely cut off. But we can only move on and try to get to a happier place. Best of luck at your new place, moving is exciting, I also moved during the year. Always lived closeby a big city my whole life, never felt right. But now I live in the middle of nowhere in the countryside. I feel so free. I'm so glad that you sound much better.
Makes me happy to hear that charisma and energy back in your voice, Tim. Honestly it felt like 2021 was just 2020 part 2 for a lot of us where things just didn't go the way we wanted and our only goal was to survive. Here's hoping 2022 will be a turning point for you and everyone else.
I knew you'd talked with me a while back about moving to Georgia, and I'm really happy to hear that it's made such a big difference in improving your quality of life. I can't wait to see where you go from here!
So so happy to hear you doing well now! Thanks for updating us all on your condition, I know a lot of us were concerned about you over the past year and there's no easy or comfortable way to communicate that as it's happening. It was great seeing you around MagFest, too, thanks as always for being such a cool dude. We all love ya Tim, keep on doing what you're doing!
How strange. I got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last year. I went down from 220 pounds down to 120 pounds, I couldn’t sleep, resting heart rate at 120. Not fun, and the meds are killing me. Glad to here you’re doing better.
Hey man I'm so glad you're doing alright now! I've been struggling all of 2021 to improve my mood and energy;felt super sluggish all year. Ironically,I cannot put myself to sleep at all as I have this feeling that I would miss something important if I went to sleep,which is v bad lmao. Ever since the new year started, I got myself a new bed,started exercising, fixing my diet and attempted to fixing my sleep. Its all a work in progress tho. I'm really glad things are looking better for you now and it kinda gives me the motivation as well to improve myself too. I've always enjoyed your content , Tim, as you are never afraid to be honest on camera and let your viewers know how you're feeling. I've always admired your kindness and honesty
Really happy that it seems the year ended off better for you than it started and that the move has been good for you! I’ve been watching your vids since I was a kid and I’ve always enjoyed seeing a video from ya and wanted to say I hope this year just continues to improve for you! From your old blogs I know you can keep consistent with the exercise! Just remember each of us are supporting you like your videos have been for us all these years!
It's good to be getting the old Tim back. Something was definitely off in 2021, but I still really enjoyed your videos. Now you seem to be getting back to your old self and I look forward to your updates even more. Keep it up!
I know how hard it must’ve been to talk about all of this, so I’m immensely proud of you Tim. Things are looking up for you and maybe it’s because I’m nosey but I love that you were so open with us. Glad to hear the better news and another fresh start for ya!!
Hey NCS! It's great to hear you doing better and back to yourself. The last few videos had me worried, but I am very glad to see and hear that you are in a better space mentally and physically. I hope 2022 is the best year yet for you and your channel!
Glad to hear all this and glad you're opening up about all your experiences. It's a total relief to hear how far you've come from those old 2021 recordings already...it's like...damn inspiring honestly. Here's hoping 2022 is a doubly kickass year.
Tim you sound great! Here's to another year, even if it's crappy I hope you can laugh through it. Your positive outlooks help all of us watching as well.
Thyroid conditions cause rapid weight gain/tiredness. I was told that once at the doctor cause I was having muscle weakness. Glad to hear you're doing better Tim!
How wonderful to hear you're doing better; and got to say you sound better. Lovely to hear you laugh, and lovely to hear that you have the support of your friends. I don't comment much but had to today. I sincerely wish you all the very best in your new home.You have always made fantastic content, for which I am grateful; it has helped me in tough times. Sending much love and best wishes.
You have no idea how happy this video made me. (so happy) Your videos always are just so comforting for me to watch whenever things aren't great in my own life. Something about the way you talk is just so calming and unique for me, and I love it. Some of the more recent videos had me worried because something seemed off but I didn't know for sure what it was. But to hear you're doing better puts the biggest dumbest smile on my face, and I can't wait to see what you have instore for this next year. Also shout out to Emile for being such a great friend. Much love
I hadn't been watching during December, so I missed the ZOOTR randomizer episode with your first refreshed voice, so I'm only just now hearing how much healthier you sound. Jeez man, it's so amazing to hear how well you're doing. You speak with such energy about having your legs eaten by bugs that it's hard to believe you ever had that low energy before haha. I'm 22, and I've been watching since I was at least 10, so it pleases me to no end to know you're doing better, buddy. Here's hoping for the future decades to be much kinder.
So glad to hear you're feeling better -- both physically and mentally. Friends like Emile who are going to be honest and help you do the uncomfortable things are so hard to come by and it's great you have him in your life. Welcome back, Tim!
I said basically the same thing on another video back when it was very obvious that your health was starting to improve (pretty sure it was a zootr episode but I'm not 100% sure), but you're sounding even better since then and it's absolutely awesome to hear. Good to have you back my dude
It’s so good to hear you laughing again. I’m truly sorry to hear that you had such a rough year. I’m wishing you nothing but the best for 2022. I’ve been watching you for gosh, maybe about ten or so years now, and I’m really glad to hear you’re in a better place. Thank you for updating us and for being open and honest with us.
That comparison to Lost when Jin is on the raft is such a heartwarming thing to hear, glad you are feeling that way Tim. Mental health and physical health run hand in hand, so now that you've moved and are in a better environment and you are happier, it's natural that your physical health will also continue to improve. Also at 18:21, the way Koopa looks at you as he steals the win at the last second is so cruel
I'm glad you posted the vlog on this channel. You're starting to sound like your old self and I didn't realize how much i missed it until now. I'm definitely looking forward to more NCS in 2022
I know i'm just another voice to the crowd here but this is kinda reassuring to hear Tim's been getting better, I was getting genuinely worried about his health, even though he's just some voice i've been watching on RU-vid for a good decade now it was mortifying to hear how much he sounded like a rusty exhaust pipe, and i am relieved and happy that he saw a doctor, is working on improving his health again and moving to a place where he's hopefully happier. Well, all the best for the new year, have it be the first of many better ones to come, Tim!
I'm so glad you're feeling and doing so much better Tim!! 2021 was also an ASS year for me but I've slowly been getting my shit together so I'm glad we're on the same path now.
I have read that bedbugs cause hallucinations and sleep deprivation because they bite and keep you from getting rest. Good to hear you so chipper again.
I’m truly happy to hear you’re doing better! I hope the future continues to be bright for you! I’ve been watching since your ffx lp and will always be a fan of yours. Take care of yourself, and be well :)
Hey Tim, it’s great to hear that you are working towards bettering yourself. COVID’s been crap for everybody, and I totally get the isolationism messing with your head and obviously the weight gaining problems what with not doing much this year (despite working a physical job-I’ve gained weight too). I’m not saying this to make you upset, but some of us definitely noticed you seeming off in your videos, there’s a Reddit post where somebody questioned if you were okay and I went back periodically to see if you had responded because I was genuinely worried for a while. Also great that Emile stepped up to help you despite having some issues himself. You can never say that he doesn’t take leaps and bounds to help his friends! And my sleep issues have actually largely been the opposite. I’ve been having to put myself into such a tired state in order to sleep that it’s definitely not healthy. P.S. I’ve had bed bug TWICE in the same year that I had a leak in my dorm room (thanks, university housing lol) and they suck ass too.
Wow, things become so much clearer now Tim, and I am Soooo Happy that you are on the right track again when it comes to your health. Seeing your decline in numbers (weight and max walk speed) must have been really terrible. I hope 2022 will be ten times better for you! Hugs and Keep up the good work!
I've been watching you on and off over the past ten or so years, across two channels, and out of all your videos I've always really liked the ones where you sit down and talk about your life. It's nice, soothing, and comfy in ways I can't really describe. And this video is no exception! Very sorry to hear about all the bullshit you've had to deal with: 2021 was a bad year in general and it sounds like it was definitely hell for you. But it's good to hear that you're doing better! Emile's a good man, and you're truly blessed to have a guy like him in your life. Here's hoping you can roundhouse kick 2022 straight in the ass, you deserve a nice, solid win after everything 2021 threw at you!
This feels like such a classic NCS vid, I fucking love it, dude. Your anecdotes and quotes and references are the best. Looking forward to watching your LP of Metroid DEAD and the chozo ghosts you know.
Great to hear things have been on the up turn, I'm sure you'll be much happier in your new environment going forward. Having prolonged undiagnosed serious bodily malfunctions is one of the most troubling experiences one can go through, and this is a great example of how important it is to have good friends in life and the ability to trust their judgment/intentions towards your best interests. Best wishes this year and beyond as always, sorry I gave you a tough time on a couple of your Fortune Street vids early last year without understanding your situation.
@@xm_heecka.laddder.job_mx5962 There were a few FS boards he played really poorly (often blatantly not paying attention to what was going on or making nonsense decisions that pointlessly drew out games), and it was frustrating to see people in the comments complimenting his play despite those very obvious mistakes, so I got in a couple dumb threads criticizing the OPs and Tim's obliviousness. Eventually I just stopped watching the series because it was just plain irritating to watch, but it makes a bit more sense after hearing about his condition at the time.
@@NintendoCapriSun You deserve to have many more good years to come! (P.S I'm playing every snes game on my channel thanks to you for getting me interested in let's playing)
I just sat down, ate some burgers and was engulfed by the crystal clear waves that is your voice. This was an amazing video, I loved your first mario kartomovlog, and its just so goddamn awesome to hear you not even be able to contain your joy! Happiness is an amazing thing, and no matter how dark things get it can always be rediscovered. And look at this comment section! You have attracted all these fine people to become your subscribers, what a crowd, not a single bad comment! I bet its the only video on youtube with no negativity. PS: I love how fast you can go in Mario Kart with coins, those engine sounds.
It really made my day to hear you sounding so much better! I’ve been a fan of yours for a while, and I was a bit worried throughout 2021, but it seems like things are looking up!
NIce to hear a good 'ol fashioned update Tim. Glad you are doing well in your new state! Exciting. Also glad to hear your heath improvements and getting back in the gym. At our age things really start to change I am finding. Just eating and living like we did for the last 40++ years really isn't possible and adjustments, well, they suck dude. It does start to get fun though seeing health improvements after the adjustments. No more burning deodorant!
Dear tim I dont normally comment on videos but know that I have watched you for longer than I care to admit I remeber watching your vlog channel and trying to quit smoking along side you but the last year or so I hadn't been watching you near as much I'm sure this is because of how exhausted and defeated your voice had been sounding it brings me so much joy to hear that joy and excitement coming back in your voice. I too have had a terrible year or two along side you many of the same things actually weight gain bed bugs distancing myself from friends and such. I'm so glad to hear you getting back to your old self and so happy to say that I'm rooting for you and will be watching more regularly again. all the best wishes.
It is wonderful to hear that you are feeling better Tim. I hope you are able to settle well into Georgia. I had a great chortle watching this update vlog. Keep on taking that medication, taking care of your health & being yourself. Happy New Year for 2022 🎈🤗🍾 I've been watching you since I got the internet when I was 10 years old man. I'm 22 now. That's nuts dude, boy I tell ya
I've started getting depressed recently due to some personal stuff. I worked out for two years straight but stopped for the last two weeks, lost optimism and motivation. Going to do half of what i normally do right after watching this video and start back up tomorrow. Good to hear you are starting to feel better!
Oh hey, I have hypothyroid too! It really can affect your energy level without you noticing, man, whenever I run out of meds these days I'm like "damn I really lived like this?" Glad you're feeling better, man, here's hoping this year is better for you.
Thank you for going to the docs and thanks Emile for putting the idea in the forefront. Last year just sucked in general. It was a hard time to avoid getting lethargic even without the hyperthyroidism problems. Im so glad you guys take care of eachother. TRG is like family! Good to hear from you Tim.
Hey Tim, I was so full of happiness listening to this video I seriously am in tears right now. Your life is such a blessing and we're all so lucky you share it with us on RU-vid. Godspeed, brother, keep on keeping on.
We all love and care about you Tim! It's wonderful for you to make a healthy life change for yourself! Now maybe you can go back to unfinished LPs in time! You're still in my prayers!!
I'm very glad you feel better and are on the path to better health. We'll be here for you to support your return to more regular uploads. I'm glad you made it out to Magfest too. I hope to meet you at a con someday, and it'll be great knowing you can enjoy yourself fully there. Here's to a better year!
On your BreakingNCS video “Muchos Gracis TwilightKing432”, posted on your birthday last year, you looked half dead. I was seriously thinking you had only a few months to live. The turnaround has been tremendous and a lot of that is thanks to Emile, but we see that passion returning to your videos and your drive to take care if yourself as much as you take care of others. Good job, Tim.
Hard to know what to say after hearing that story of 2021. I can only say I'm glad to hear you are doing much better Tim! Here's hoping 2022 goes a lot better for you!
Wow! Your description of your year in the first 7 minutes sounds exactly like how my year went. My health declined, I had little or no energy, I fell asleep multiple times at work. For me I've decided it was the stress of having a boss I could not stand and being allergic to the product that is produced at that place. It all came to a head on my birthday just before the new year, I got a text in the middle of the night from my boss complaining about some trivial shit and I had had enough so I texted back and told my boss that he could go f*** himself and I quit. Here it is two weeks later and I feel SO much better. Now to move on and make 2022 a better year!
Super late in commenting this (Btw initially watched this the day it was uploaded, just watching it a second time to see the difference between your current condition and what you expressed here as well as note all the amazing progress you've made in your lifestyle since making the move that you've shown on twitter and talked about in your current let's plays) but even though the struggles I happened to experience during the traumatic year of 2021 were different than the one's you elaborated on in this video, I can't help but relate to you more and feel a sort of kinship because there's not many people who are so honest about their shortcomings and vulnerability and you basically expressed the pain and misery I'm sure lots of people felt that year but are too embarrassed to admit.
I'm so glad to hear that you're doing better! Glad 2021 is now past all of us and I hope 2022 will be great for you! Keep up the good work, you deserve all the good things coming for you! Lots of love
You and the channel def. Seemed off all of last year for sure. Really hope you continue on the up physically n mentally from here on out. Always love your content from the start!
hey NCS, thanks for the vid. It's great to listen to you open up like this. Last year has also been quite challenging to me as well, so I can understand where you're going when you say that year wasn't so great to you. But it's great and encouraging and also inspirational to hear that you've been picking yourself up from this rut.
i remember one of the first times i heard you mention emile was during your majora's mask LP (over a decade ago! wow... time flies) and i think you made a joke about how you couldnt be more annoying right then, and then after a second you were like "well, i could be chuggaaconroy OHHHH" haha. and then of course you were like "no i dont mean that, he seems nice" or something. idk why, but i just thought back to that now haha. you didnt really mean anything by it at the time of course, but even still, look at how far things have come since then haha. it's really cool what a lifelong lasting friendship that ended up being
Really glad things are looking up. I know so many people have already beaten me to the punch, but the sentiment (much like the song) remains the same. Cheers and beers! By the way, good job getting the gold in those two cups.
Sorry to hear that you had a bad year being 2021 hopefully 2022 will be a much better year for you all around I'm also very happy that you have such great friends like Emile stay strong my friend I'll always be there to support you in any sort of way
3:09 That's the best summary of stocks I've heard. I admit I was a bit jealous of all those who got in early or happened to have GameStop stock and made money, but I resisted the temptation to get into it myself as it felt too much like gambling, and in hindsight I'm glad I didn't. Glad the doctor was so helpful with what you were going through, and that you got the medication for it. Emile is a great friend. 18:23 Classic Mario Kart. 2021 sucked for every RU-vidr I follow, it also sucked for me so seems like it sucked for a lot of people. Here's hoping 2022 ends up better.
Ugh we had bed bugs during the PAX East 2020 weekend and it SUCKED. I was really glad to see you again at MAG dude! I’m gonna try to do better this year to keep in touch. 👍
Okay, so recently RU-vid recommended your "Merry Kartmas" video and so I watched it. Then it recommended the second video and I realized you had an LP I didn't know existed. Now you upload these, haha.
It's awesome that you're starting to feel better. Having weird health problems can be such a burden, and as much as a pain as it is to go see a doctor repeatedly, it's totally worth it.
