What I changed to enjoy Hermitcraft - HermitCraft 10 Behind The Scenes 

Same.

Likewise, I'm late to hermit craft, started season 7/8, but this season I've watched so much more of everyone and watched Iskall consistently.

Same

Same

Same here, in fact I'm only watching iskall

Yeah this season a lot of the hermits haven't been speedrunning the game on ep1 and finishing their megabase in 15 episodes and that's a great thing

I love seeing the interactions.

its honestly resparked my love for minecraft big time and im loving watching and playing the game soso much

Yep

for reason, the content that the hermits are putting out, doesnt feel pushed cause its for content but rather for the fun of it.

Never heard that, that's interesting!

I’m stealing this one 😝

That sounds like some accidentally profound piece of advice that comes from the town drunk. Doesnt take away at all from how perfect it is tho.

I was thinking something similar, but I'd almost call it a sitcom. Though while it feels like a sitcom, it definitely is more "real" than most reality shows.

I thought I was Iskall's OLDEST fan. I'm 51! My daughter got me watching at the start of last season. I started playing Minecraft during COVID with my family and my kids' friends. It has been awesome getting to know my kids' friends through playing the game on a server together. I LOVE Iskall's silliness and pushing himself to try new things (color blending) and building as we watch. I learn nothing from timelapses - except unrealistic timelines for giant builds - it looks so easy when you do it! I have been loving the social interactions and Theater Kid performances. The bit with Joels had me laughing so hard I cried. I'm so shocked people are hating on Iskall. I don't understand that at all, but, you know, I'm old. LOL

I'm 54 too, and love iskall's videos. Nothing wrong with loving MC

Well now you make me feel old.... 57

@@minb3672 Yay! 57! You can't possibly be old because you watch and appreciate Iskall. (Does it make you feel any better to hear I will be 52 next month? Only 5 years apart. It counts less the older you get :+) Iskall over 50 fan club! LOL

Not a grandpa but yeah me as well (age and enjoyment level.)

I discovered HC oddly through TFC way back when

I discovered HC early season 7, which iirc was a very mega build heavy season, yet what I loved the most about the server was the interactions and shenanigans.

Same here. Granted, I'd probably poke fun at them for living in a dirt hut

@@Themuffinman1820 Oh, man, talk about a guy who just did things his own way. That's what I love about TFC.

@@teshtishtoshtesh3218 his way of playing minecraft is exactly my favorite way to play...endless mining and hardly any building lol

HAD ME CACKLING

at first I thought he was going to say play in roads. which would have been just as funny

megamind reference

That’s from Jurassic Park, right?

(Horn) “Is that line from Shrek?”

now i don’t know if this is satire or not

I mean... I don't disagree, but I would wager the VAST majority of viewers are from the Mega Build area, as most of the Hermits who play now weren't even on S1 or S2. It doesn't change how people should respect each other. Most people are doing megabuilds anyway. I think people have a right to criticize because it's just allowing people a right to have an opinion. What isn't okay is for people to use criticism or opinions as a vehicle to tear people down. However, I think a lot of people who appear overinvested are just role-playing along with the creators. I know I joke around a lot, especially any time I hear a content creator complaining they are going to be attacked for something in the comment section, I make a satire comment of those attacks. I make it pretty obvious it's a joke, and I get a BUNCH of people trashing me over a joke. So I think it may be just as important to stay in our own lanes, even as commenters. Because text is hard to gauge the tone of what people are saying. Sometimes it seems really serious when they only mean it to reflect a joke. One thing I will say though, it's naive to think you can tell haters to just not watch, and they are going to get the message oh well we must not bother him. Because that is the opposite of what the message gives. Which, unfortunately, is a flaw of Iskall. He takes what some commenters and redditors say to close to the heart. I know he plays up the bravado and tries to deflect that he doesn't care, but if that were true he wouldn't give it any attention, yet he gives it LOADS of attention. I'm a huge fan of iskall, but he does have a bad habit of feeding the trolls.

No one says don't socilize or be friends. BUT all other hermits - they are making Megabuilds happen AND finding time to socialize. That's what HC always been about. Iskall been doing nothing but trolling this season. Multiple months later he is still living in a small blue shipping container and built only one side of an OK looking building. So yeah - we should call him out. This is not what we expect from a veteran HC player. Not up to the standard of an SMP that is known and viewed for megabuilds.

No one cares and just go to this timestamp 16:00 to see not even iskall cares we're here to watch iskall and what he does if you don't like the content just don't watch it.​@@disrespank

@@disrespank I understand that megabuilds might be why you watch Hermitcraft, but to say that's always been what HC is about is just blatantly untrue. I've been watching HC content from various Hermits for 11-ish years now (since the second half of season 2) and in that time, there's always been some people doing megaprojects, but not everyone and not all the time. I love seeing the builds, but I've always watched for the social interactions mainly (which is why I like watching Iskall as well). The server has steadily moved more towards megabases in the later seasons, true, but it's never been a requirement for playing on the server. And even if it was, it's not my server, so why should I police it? If I don't like a youtuber's content, I tend to simply stop watching and move on, not 'call them out' for having the gall to create something I may not like. That seems like a somewhat futile pursuit, anyway.

​@@disrespankstop expecting creators to preform in the ways you want them to. if you don't like it don't watch it iskall can play the game however he wants and it's not his problem you don't enjoy it. he doesn't need to be "called out" for not making a mega build you are just annoying.

You should go check out the OG end busts they did

@@RyanEglitis It sounds lazy, but link? I feel like I have no idea where to find it, but am keen to take a look 😅

@@williamansfield Iskall has videos of them somewhere, but the easiest is just to go to mumbo's live tab. He only has like 15 livestreams ever, so they're easy to find.

@@williamansfield Its on mumbos channel, just check his live tab :)

@@williamansfield I know they were all streamed on Mumbo's channel, so this search should bring them all up from Season 5, 6, and 7. I'm not sure if Iskall also has an upload. www.youtube.com/@ThatMumboJumbo/search?query=bust

true, i love watching iskall mostly bcz he cuts all the boring stuff out that other hermits make the whole episodes about, tho I am enjoyer of all hermits this season ;)

that isn't doubling down, that's questioning that it is fake (not real), so believing it is true

dude, thats actually is so evil for iskall

@@macle5007 iskalls been burning diorite for YEARS, literal years, ren knew the score before he even built his shop 😆

🤔 Perhaps Ren should make an extension to his store - where, depending on the amount of diamonds paid for, the diorite is first auto-craftet and then burned immediately?

@@goa4all this feature should cost diamond blocks at least 🤣

lmao, he’s converting totally good and valuable quartz to diorite haha. also he increased the price so perhaps the whole shop has to go with a blow, just saying ;) (btw loving ren’s builds)

Lol I told my daughter the same thing the other day. I am also 51 and I told her I wished I had played with her back in 2012 when she was always playing. I only started playing over pandemic (with her). Then I discovered the Hermits.

I'm a woman in my 40's. Our demographic is a valid part of the community and please let's not be sorry about that ☺♥ Much love from the Netherlands!

@@makyeah Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one. It is cracking me up there are lots of us 51+ year old Iskall fans! My kid got me watching and I'm so glad she did. Cheers over 50 ladies!!

I'm also in the demographic. Love it.

Hallo👋. Bin 50 Jahre alt. Und Iskall sein Humor ist wirklich das beste und ich denke genau das fehlte auf Hermitcraft. Ich glaube sein Humor spricht eher uns an, als die heutige Generation. Tschuldigung, ich weiß man spricht eine Frau nicht an wegen ihres Alters. Aber in diesen Fall, ging es nicht anders. Ja, die deutsche Minecraft Community ist leider erschreckend so gut wie tot. Ich sehe da kein Deutschen RU-vidr bei dem es spaß macht. Außer Gronkh (wegen ihn bin auf Minecraft gestoßen vor 13 Jahren), Tobi und Pan wenn da einen mal wieder Minecraft spielt, wird es wieder gesuchtet. Es ist eher gemütlich und ruhig. Aber wenigstens nichts was total irres was man sonst im deutsch sprachigen Raum findet.

Hah well you know they were all laughing through that whole war anyway in most of the videos.

@@OgdenM yes I know, but having only Grian perspective, sometimes it was a bit tricky to know if other hermits where also just joking or where genuinely annoyed. But now that I watch multiple pov and follow hermitcraft for years I totally understand the healthy and fun dynamic between hermits.

same here. I never really was a hermitcraft fan as a kid. then I started watching a lot of the Botem people that season. this is the first season that I've actually watched Iskall and I'm loving it!
