Rui- this video was awesome! It’s honestly one of my favorites over these many years. We all came here for our shared interest in similar games but this video just goes to show that we stayed because of YOU! I really enjoyed this glimpse into yourself and your life. Thank you for sharing it with us! Happy holidays Ruri, and Ironbreakers!
Ruri you are the kindest, most genuine content creator i've ever watched. I'm so grateful that you also happen to have such similar taste in games but even if you didn't i think i would watch anyway. I'll be here to support you for as long as you're doing this. Happy holidays and cheers to a good 2025!!
Just like a souls game. I come for the PvE and stay for the PvP…. I came to your channel for the great content and stayed for the great person. Thx & happy new year! 🎉😎💪🏻👍🏻🙏
Fellow Portuguese and same age as you, Rui. Been a follower for more than 10 years because of your sensible, helpful and relatable content. As time limitations keep growing with age, I have stopped following most gaming channels but I always make sure to check what you are up to. Might even give PoE2 a try thanks to you! Of course it's fine if you slow down and prioritize family. Wish you a great 2025! Um abraço!
I'm so glad that you kept pushing to create content! You're one of my faverite content creators and I hope you don't stop:-) Also I love the slice of life aspects that you share with us about your family. It shows that you really care about them in my opnion:-)
As more of a lurker on youtube and twitch I just want to say thank you for your content and your honest and kind personality. Been on here since MHW and enjoying your videos and streams ever since. So have happy holidays, take care of yourself and your family and a happy new year Ruri!
I love your content, your sense of humor, your analysis of different games. Unfortunately, I don't always manage to participate in the live shows because of my schedule. However, I always watch the videos that are outstanding. You are the only creator that I support financially (within my modest means) because I think you definitely deserve it... Feliz Natal e um próspero ano novo. Saudações da Polónia ❤
Holy shit I feel kinda dumb about Soul Sacrifice especially since I KNEW you were the one who talked about it to Gaijin but I forgot about this single, simple fact lol good to know you love it too, the things I'd do to get a sequel/remake or even just a remaster...
I was one of the people who commented back then asking you to bring back the hat. it was around the time I first started playing dark souls and found your walkthroughs on youtube. they were legit the comfiest videos to watch while playing dark souls on my own, felt like we were playing together lmao
Rurikhan, I just wanted to say thanks for everything you do we appreciate it a lot, also when I was a young kid the thing that helped guide me and become more social was getting an electric guitar, its a great hobby to have and kids are more social when they have hobbies that are shared amongst each other, Im having my daughter game and once she hits learnable age 4 I will teach her how to play guitar highly recommend a BC Rich Bronze series, great guitar to start on and attracts a lot of attention! Id be willing to help teach him guitar over the internet! Merry Christmas Ironbreakers!
I've been watching you since the days of you playing Dark Souls 1 for the very first time and it has been and will keep being a genuine pleasure all these years and in the future. You've been here to watch for me through the most important years of my life (I'm 29 now) and I'm glad you stayed the same grounded person while the content got better and better and the channel grew. Genuinely my favourite content creator and I wish you all the continued success in the world Ruri.
I don't care for how Rise handled finding monsters (they're just on the map once you fight one). But I also didn't care for chucking paint balls either. I actually liked how World did it. You had to collect data for a monster over time, and once you hunted enough of them and had a greater knowledge of them, you could quickly find them via tracks and clues. I think expanding on this system would have been the best route, because it felt like the method that did the best job of demonstrating your growth as a hunter. Appreciate the AMA style vid!
Thank you for giving us so much high quality content Ruri, always the highlight of my day when you upload a new video or episode of 3rd Fleet. Also, sick hoodie, I'm wearing the same one right now^^
Loving your content each day. Happy holidays everyone and let 2025 be another great year for gaming! SHIELDS UP! (P.S.: the audio being outside if very good, it does give that sense of being far from the camera, but the quality of it is very good, clean and high enough in volume)
Awesome video, Rui! I've always been curious how old you are and learned we are the same age and your son and my daughter are as well. I feel for you on making family time vs your role as a streamer/youtuber, I have to balance my corpo existence with my family and then find time to play games and its never easy.
Thanks for answering my questions Ruri. I asked game dev questions to get a sense of how an old fan would consider how the series is evolving. I started on World but it has shot up to be one of my favorite games of all time. I think the multi stage hunts is not a bad idea. In fact, they sort of did that with the KT Siege in MHW. Not only was there different areas and phases, but the pursuit level changed the fight somewhat. If they could expand further on the idea it could be a compelling event in future games. I know a lot of people didn't care for the KT siege but I was a huge fan. There was just enough mechanics and strategies involved to make it interesting, as well as the satisfaction of getting a bunch of random players to cooperate together and learn and execute them.
Wow that's one important hat to have a 1 hour vid about it :) Great vid so far and I'll definitely finish when I get the chance. Merry Xmas and have a fantastic rest of the holiday to you and anyone reading this. Looking forward to your Wilds content in the New Year
Another year of gaming in the books! What a great year it was! Can't wait for what all 2025 brings us gamers. So ready for all the Wilds content from your channel! Wishing you all the best in the New Year, dude!
Since 2021, that's when I found you, you've been my go to content creator since then. I'm so glad I found you and your content. The first ever I supported with a subscription. Happy holidays Ruri to you and your family. Feliz Natal e um prospero ano novo!
Oh & Happy Holidays man. I usually check out your Souls stuff but rn i've been enjoying your POE2 content while i binge. Just hit maps with my ranger & my others are getting there as well. What a great game to end the year with 😎
I thought Iron Breakers was a call out to your other Gunlance mains 😂😂😂 because gun lances always “break” in half when reloading! Very cool to learn the origin for that
Congrats on your success in 2024! Well deserved! Looking forward to 2025. I would definitely watch a Skyrim stream. Also your English is FAR better than just "decent". When I first started watching your videos, I just assumed you were a fellow American.
I took the Nightrain qestion as a suggestion to plan a day one stream of the game with Cowboy and Ratatoskr (since the game will play in squads of 3) wich would be totally awesome. I would definettly watch that !
@Ririkhan not only on Portugal 5:59 Brazil has the same problem, probrably even worst XD i got 2 things that got returned to sender 2 times because of the same problem
To be fair, that word trips a lot of people up because they think and expect it to be spelled "pronounciation," so you can't really blame him or anyone for it
Well this was lovely
Rui- this video was awesome! It’s honestly one of my favorites over these many years.

Honestly didn't expect you to call your wife a hammer HAHA! hopefully, she doesn't treat you like a nail when she sees this video
Well..... that's probably how he ended up with kids in the first place. :)

Piña Colada! As a puertorican, I am glad you like our drink. 🇵🇷
If you ever want to vacation in the Caribbean, you are more than welcome here.
This video made me realize I’ve been following Ruri for over 10 years
The most consistent quality content on the platform
Thanks Ruri
As more of a lurker on youtube and twitch I just want to say thank you for your content and your honest and kind personality.
Been on here since MHW and enjoying your videos and streams ever since.
So have happy holidays, take care of yourself and your family and a happy new year Ruri!
What a frame and what a thumbnail. Great work Ruri, I’m gonna enjoy watching this one

It's so crazy to still be here after all this time, i remember finding your dark souls videos back when i was 12
Bloodborne was my first Souls game because of Ruri. Monster Hunter World was my first MH game because of Ruri.
I was one of the people who commented back then asking you to bring back the hat. it was around the time I first started playing dark souls and found your walkthroughs on youtube. they were legit the comfiest videos to watch while playing dark souls on my own, felt like we were playing together lmao
I found you through fighting cowboy and I’ve ended up watching you more this year due to the diversity in your content and the long format podcasts.
I'm thankful for your content 💜
Rurikhan, I just wanted to say thanks for everything you do we appreciate it a lot, also when I was a young kid the thing that helped guide me and become more social was getting an electric guitar, its a great hobby to have and kids are more social when they have hobbies that are shared amongst each other, Im having my daughter game and once she hits learnable age 4 I will teach her how to play guitar highly recommend a BC Rich Bronze series, great guitar to start on and attracts a lot of attention!

Genuinely my favourite content creator and I wish you all the continued success in the world Ruri.
One of my favorite content creators ever! I came for the Monster Hunter, now I stay to be an Iron Breaker!
Great QnA video, Thank you.

Thanks for answering my question Ruri. Good choice with Sens Fortress and the bosses ;)
Thank you for giving us so much high quality content Ruri, always the highlight of my day when you upload a new video or episode of 3rd Fleet.
Also, sick hoodie, I'm wearing the same one right now^^

(P.S.: the audio being outside if very good, it does give that sense of being far from the camera, but the quality of it is very good, clean and high enough in volume)
I love Papa-khan giving full dad energy with the hat and it becoming an icon on the channel XD.
Awesome video, Rui! I've always been curious how old you are and learned we are the same age and your son and my daughter are as well. I feel for you on making family time vs your role as a streamer/youtuber, I have to balance my corpo existence with my family and then find time to play games and its never easy.
Happy holidays! Would always watch more Cooking with Rurikhan!

Looking forward to your Wilds content in the New Year
Another year of gaming in the books! What a great year it was! Can't wait for what all 2025 brings us gamers. So ready for all the Wilds content from your channel! Wishing you all the best in the New Year, dude!

With how the game schedule is looking, 2025 is going to be neck breaking.
Oh & Happy Holidays man. I usually check out your Souls stuff but rn i've been enjoying your POE2 content while i binge. Just hit maps with my ranger & my others are getting there as well. What a great game to end the year with 😎
Happy holidays Ruri and you make our year more enjoyable, and i can't wait for the next year's of content
Happy holiday season Ruri! Been a fan of the channel for a long time. Many more to come it seems.
*Points*
"Gunlance!"
Thanks for the answer, Rurik!
one of your best vids of last year tbh
you are the best content creator keep it up bro
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄
This was a very enjoyable video. Appreciate your honesty and openness. Hope you have a great 2025!
Your English is decent? DECENT?! As a lifetime New Yorker I can honestly say you speak English better than most of my friends.
Ruri you are balding gracefully my dude
I don’t think those two words go together in a sentence.
Obviously Gaijin and Ruri would never tell us their plans for world domination 😊✌
I thought Iron Breakers was a call out to your other Gunlance mains 😂😂😂 because gun lances always “break” in half when reloading! Very cool to learn the origin for that
Know you say it's because of the algorithm but I'd love to see you play Skyrim and The Witcher!
2025 MON HUN BUSY and FUN TIMES!! Love your content so i'll keep watching 🙂
I loved this ruri. Thank you
Congrats on your success in 2024! Well deserved! Looking forward to 2025. I would definitely watch a Skyrim stream. Also your English is FAR better than just "decent". When I first started watching your videos, I just assumed you were a fellow American.
This QnA definitely had to be outside.
Wow is everybody's Customs just corrupt af xD
Love ya Ruri ur an inspiration
I want that jacket omg I'm salivating!
Always wondered about the hat. I click & now the suspense begins 😵
I'm the same way with ball caps. I'm growing my hair out for a con that supports pediatric cancer.
Merry Christmas everyone. Ironbreakers, shield up!
As a new viewer I did wonder about the hat, gives off serious Crocodile Dundee vibes lol
Never stop never stopping rui!
Thx Ruri! Merry christmas!! Love you content!!!
Ótimas festas, meu abençoado. Saudações do Brasil
Shields up!
I wish everyone happy holidays and a happy new year. However you plan to spend it.
nice one
Thanks. You the man bro.
Keep it up, you Gigachad
I took the Nightrain qestion as a suggestion to plan a day one stream of the game with Cowboy and Ratatoskr (since the game will play in squads of 3) wich would be totally awesome. I would definettly watch that !
HAMMER OF THE KHAN DROPS FOR 2025!
01:02:17 unfortunally, also true for Brazil, if one day i come to make a channel or do live streams, i think i will need to speak english
I will be looking forward to your xenoblades chronicle x and Witcher 3 streams / lets plays
Finally Rurikan lore
Should make a japanese dubbed anime about Ruri lore
No way you have a slow 2025 with Wilds coming out lol
wooooooooooooooo another Elite Dangerous Player
Ruri ..you old souls games player bastard .Fallow you from Elder Ring .GG ❤
@Ririkhan not only on Portugal 5:59 Brazil has the same problem, probrably even worst XD i got 2 things that got returned to sender 2 times because of the same problem
love when you were asked about how good your english is and, only busting your balls here, but you pronounce 'pronunciation' kind of strange. lol
To be fair, that word trips a lot of people up because they think and expect it to be spelled "pronounciation," so you can't really blame him or anyone for it
