Congrats man you deserve it! There's not many channels like you with this quality.
I appreciate that :D
For real you put all other guides and wikis to shame
Congrats man :) You deserve it for how much effort you put into your vids.
Thank you!
Really happy for you, sir. You are working your ass off.
Thanks!
You have incredible self-awareness and know yourself well. My mom always told me that happiness isn't something you find out in the world; it's something you find within yourself. She was right. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
It's so true! That's a great point too - it's all relative. What makes me happy will probably not make a lot of others happy, so it's all about figuring out what YOU want as opposed to what everyone else wants from you. There's a lot of pressure from family, peers, society, etc. and it can be so confusing to figure it all out. Thanks for watching and for supporting the channel!
You fully deserve it Strat! Congratulations on 100k subscribers!!
Thanks!!
Congratulations for 100.000 subscribers. Definitely one of the Svana references of all time.
Lol Thanks!
Congratulations bro!
I bought bannerlord a couple of weeks before and I really enjoy it. I really think you carry the bannerlord community, especially on youtube. There are so many things that would have made bannerlord super hard to understand without your help and hard to play, so I admire you for that. And to be honest, your real-life tactics videos were the ones that got me to this game at start. So I really thank you for that, and please keep your godly content, it's really an enjoyment to watch.
I appreciate that and I'm happy to hear my videos are making a difference!
I’m so happy for you! All your hard work is paying off, you deserve it!
Thanks Vinny! I appreciate that
100k! congrats
Thank you!!
congrats mate you really deserve it
Thank you!!
I got Bannerlord recently.
You and your work has unlocked how many ways the game can be enjoyed.
You should be endorsed!
I'm really happy to hear that!
Congrats on the 100k i think your commentary is great and would still watch you if you played other games
Thank you, i'm happy to hear that! I've got a lot of new stuff planned for this year :)
Hey man congratulations I really enjoy your bannerlord guide video . I’m really happy to see one of my favorite creators has 100k I hope to see another great announcement of you getting 1 million subs 🎉
Thank you!! We'll see, 1M seems like a long way off :D
I didn't know you only started two years ago! Congrats on 100K, man 👍
Thank you! Yeah it all happened pretty quickly, still feels like I just started yesterday
Congratulations! All the best to you and your kin.
Thank you!
Bro so glad I clicked on the video. I was super putoff by the length, was just gonna give it a glance but when I saw the timestamps I was relieved as hellll lol
congratulations strat luv ur work hope it goes on forever
Congrats! You deserve every single sub.
Thank you!
Man your work ethic is really admirable, it’s really interesting to hear how you worked hard and saved money working when you were younger to owning businesses in your later years. I remember first watching your channel when that first WC episode with Frederick came out, the editing style kept me really engaged and made me sub straight away. Everyday after school I would check to see the next episode bro and in the mean time I checked out your other videos that you posted at the time. You are the best bannerlord youtuber imo because I see how much effort you put in, and no offense to other UA-camrs but I watch them play bannerlord coupled with my hours of playing the damn game and I think to myself, man I would’ve done this differently or I would do far better in that situation. But you are the only bannerlord youtuber, when I watch you play, I’m like “damn bro yup I wouldn’t be able to pull that move off” or like “damn that was smart ass move right there never would’ve thought to do that in that moment”. Man props to you and I’m glad that your hard work has afforded you businesses that can sustain your family while you are doing youtube. Aye man I wish you, your wife and kids happy days going forward in life bro keep up the work my g.
Thank you for the kind words and the support all this time! I really appreciate it :D
Congrats big dog
Thanks for watching Reggie!!
Holy shit its Reggie
Congrats!
Thanks!
congratulations strat! you definitely deserve it, heres to 900 thousand more 👀
Thank you!! Haha we'll be here for a while for that one :) But I'm in it for the long haul
Congratulations! Here is to continued growth and success.
Thank you!!
Congratulations Strat. Your work ethic is commendable. I bought Escape from Tarkov around the same time you did. I don't know how anyone else would feel about it, but I would enjoy watching you play a raid or two here and there 👍🏻
I would love to get back into Tarkov at some point! The reason I stopped playing was the rampant cheating - It was probably around 2019 or so when I stopped and it sounds like it's still a major issue lol There's a single player mod that sounded interesting. Not as competitive, but might be fun for a little side-project or Let's play.
Thanks for your support in getting to this point!
@@Strat-Guidesthe single player mod is super fun and way more chill yet challenging. I quit around the same time, mainly due to my son being born but the limited time I had on top of the cheaters and terrible netcode just made me put it down for good
Congratulation for the 100K and personally, I definitely would love to see some Supreme Commander video on your channel !
I might try to squeeze a Sup Com video in :)
Congrats on reaching 100k 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!!
This is awesome, huge congrats man
Also thank you for being able to make content of this quality haha, your videos have gotten me through some long days at work. Have a great rest of your day
I appreciate that! I'm happy to hear my videos helping out in some way :D
Kudos on all the time stamps. Much appreciated.
No problem! I figured very few people had the time or interest to listen to the full hour lol thought this might help some
Congratulations for 100k subs! I think everyone knows that you deserve it. Also, can we all just appreciate the fact that he still reads and replys to every comment? hope you will get 1 mil some day
Thanks Taku! I can't get to all the comments lately since it's kind of a lot, but I do try to get to most on the first day or two :)
Congrats on 100k homie
Thank you!!
i enjoyed leatning about your life and how the channel got going keep the vids flowing
Congratulations Strat! I'm happy for you and I hope you continue with this.
Thanks!! I'm definitely in this business for the long haul
Been watching you for some while man, glad to see this happening! Hope success continues to come too you
Congrats man! Been here since 1k!
Thank you! Yeah that's right around the first month I started :) I appreciate the support this whole time
Damn as a former transfer student who started at a junior college then transferred (UCLA) I relate to your experience in feeling like the dumbest kid in the room lmao.
Oh cool! I actually wanted to go to UCLA as well - great school. Yeah man it was rough lol I had to put in 200% more work to be in the bottom 25% of the class. But that's how life is sometimes - not very fair.
Nice one strat, always loved your content man. Congrats on 100k! :)
Thank you!!
Bro. Wish you the best. Found your vids after starting Bannerlord. They are very informative with good editing and low key funny.
I appreciate that!
Definitely one of the best channels especially for bannerlord I recently joined ur shield wall so please keep the good videos coming.
Thank you for the support!! I really appreciate that :D
Congrats! I also have fazes of history based on games or stuff I see that makes me think about other eras, nice to see we have something in common.
Thanks!!
congrats is nice to see that you manage to get 100k!!! i still remember your videos of rags to riches or policy tier list i love your bannerlord videos, keep going man!!
Thank you for the support!! It's been a crazy ride :)
Congratulations! We are all happy to see your success in this venture.
Thank you!!
Welcome y'all to the Strat Frat.
Lol that's got a nice ring to it
Congratulations on 100K Strat, very well deserved! And to many more! Your content is amazing and this was such an interesting video to watch/listen to, particularly with your past experiences and mindset setting you up for success on YT and what's next for you and this channel. Thank you for sharing your insights and thoughts, I learn a lot just listening. P.S. 51:07 Remind me to never volunteer to be your teammate in Bannerlord tournaments 🙃
Thank you! Hahaha he KS'ed me, he got what was coming to him :P
Congrats! Love your unique take on the game. Can't wait for the next milestone
I started playing SupCom a few days ago, I'm doing the campaign
I'll gladly watch any of your video on that game
Nice!! It's such a fun game. I'm a huge fan of layered shield wall defenses and long range artillery. It's rage-inducing to get pounded by arty and not be able to do anything about lol
Congratulations for 100k!!
Thank you so much 😀
Congrats on 100k man. You deserve it! Super cool to get an insight on you. I also only really follow combat sports (mma, muay thai, bjj, etc.) Much how your style was inspired by IcePyre, watching your Lets Plays inspired me to start posting vids on KCD (a game i have almost 3k hours into). I had never done anything in video editting, recording or anything of the sort so I had to learn everything from scratch but everytime I see you post, I always get excited to try something new or improve my editting/storytelling skills. Just want you to know you're an inspiration to others out there and keep up the great work Strat!
I’m back!! GOOD JOB MAN!! Really deserved
Thank you!!
Holy shit! Congrats, 100k good job. Just keep up the quality and 250 is next there we go!
Thanks! Yeah it happened a lot faster than I would have thought
Love the insights
You’re actually amazing. Future role model feel like you could start a podcast telling life stories.
I appreciate that!
i watch your videos for a while and happy for you get 100k you are awesome keep doing what you do ❤️
Thank you, I appreciate that!
@@Strat-Guides I'm from iran if you ever intereste to learn farsi i can help you with that ❤️
@@farzin4133 Farsi balad nistam lol in college I dated a girl who spoke Farsi but I don't remember that much. Her mom made the most amazing food... Ghormeh Sabzi and Lubia Polo with yogurt were my favorites! I appreciate the offer and I'll definitely keep that in mind if the need ever arises
@@Strat-Guides wow I think you are more Iranian than me do you really like ghormesabzi?! lol
Congrats man! You fully deserve this and so much more
Thank you!
My man giving heart to every comment. Keep up the great work and wish you all the best. Q: Will you make a series on Baldur's gate 3?
Thank you! I wasn't planning on it, but damn the game looks really good. I played a bunch of the original ones back when it was on CD Rom and you needed multiple CDs to install it lol I loved the storyline. I may pick it up, we'll see
Thanks for great guides and entertainment! Another fun and amazing content keep up to good work
No problem, I'm lucky to be part of this community!
Felices 100k subscriptores, te felicito en español porque veo que sabes. Anyway amazing interview and I enjoyed a lot hearing about your mindset about bussines and stuff, pretty awesome bro. Un gran abrazo desde Cuba
Muchas Gracias amigo!
Honestly your content quality is addicting, and very, very few creators can match that. Keep it up because you really are a terrific creator.
Hey there, all the best and congrats from a watcher from the other side of the pond, you can choose, which one, both directions work, Earth seems to be a globe....
I love the effort, thoughts, planning, reasoning, systematic approach, humor, sarcasm and in general the flavor you put into your videos. Having a busy life with family and working in science, i cannot watch every video, but they are usually great.
Lol indeed, that's a good way to look at it! I appreciate that and all the support you've given me. Thank you!
Congratulations, been hanging around here since the original world conquest (Frederick the great), and I’m happy your channel is growing
Yeah that was a while ago! Thanks for sticking with me :D
Love your channel man! congratz on 100k subscribers you earned it!
Thank you!
You’re the only content creator I can reliably consume Bannerlord content from, knowing I’ll get quality and be informed. And you’re a bit of a memelord. I come back for both.
I appreciate the support!
For expanding with another content like this one, consider making shorts where you tell us something non-game related. Or maybe day or two of short live streaming where you just ramble about different topics with game as background. I recently found PirateSoftware guy doing this formuła and i realy liked it
Congrats strat!!! Looking forward to more livestreams and conquests to come!
Thank you!
Hooyah...Congrats.....and thank you!
Thanks Shannon, I appreciate your support!!
200k Next month, lol great job!
Lol I think this channel will take a nose dive because I'll be focusing on the new channel, but at least I got it to 100k first before that happened :P Thanks Tacticat!
Man you're inspiring. I know you've put in a ton of hard work even before YT but I think everybody gets crushed down by the grind. Im currently going through a lot and questioning where I am at in my life. Just a year ago I thought i was on top of the world and making good money with a GF and a home and everything was going to be great. Things don't stay the same though and life comes crashing down. Now everything is in question and I don't even know if I want to stay in my current job. As you said... I hate my job. Hate my life at this moment. Its so hard to see that there is going to be more good outcomes out there.
Ive been thinking about doing YT since I was 18 and now im 28. Its a struggle to think that I can do the grind while still affording to live but I think you've given me some good vibes on looking to push forward and actually take the time to make something worthwhile. Whether that's YT or just some other type of business IDK but thank you and Congrats on 100k.
Yeah man life is a crazy ride for sure. I was pretty down in the dumps when I wasn't doing well in college (almost got kicked out for low grades actually lol) and then again with the failed business venture, but if you just keep pushing forward it will eventually change. When you're deep in the shit, it's hard to imagine things could be anything else. Then once you get past it, you can look back on it and either laugh or feel proud that you pushed through it. I'm sure you'll find your way, just hang in there :)
I an really late but congratulations on hitting 1k. You are an amazing youtuber who along with Bannerlord really helped me through my bad days. Thanks for making such great videos and I hope you have a lot more success as a youtuber and in life.
I appreciate that! Hopefully things are going better for you lately
Yeah, finally! Congrats, well deserved, enjoy!
Thanks!
you are an incredible person. we need that financial youtube channel. smth like how money works.
Maybe when I get bored or an editor I can trust I'll start a finance channel. A lot of people in that space are money-hungry sellouts and it's kind of sad
My streamer is dota type guy,big hype! Also gratz with 100k,u totally deserved this. Ty for all ur content and gl in future. Keep doing what you doing!
Thank you! I'll have to do a Pudge stream one of these days lol I could play him 100 games in a row and not get bored :)
Wow man i resonated a lot with how you get interested in a topic from a video game and then delve deeper into that. I think that defines a lot of people in our generation.
Also, I dropped outta mechanical engineering from the top uni in my country and after a while I'm getting back into the race by studying computer science. How did you even manage to work as a salesman while being introverted lol
Nice, get back after it!
The competitive drive overrides the introvert most of the time - just needed time to recharge by myself sometimes
Congrats Strat, you make great content! All the best
Thank you!!
anywhere we can see that trebuchet that sounds so cool
I'll have to go back and look - I've never been big on taking pictures so maybe my parents took some and have them somewhere. It took up a ton of space in my parents garage so they dumped it eventually lol
really awesome video , congrats man
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Congratsulations! Well deserve it!
Thank you very much!
Nice work on 100K
hey man you’ve been a huge inspiration to me for my channel keep up the grind 🙌 hope you and the family been doing good man❤️❤️
Hey man I’m glad to see you doing so successful. I recommend your guides to anybody with Bannerlord questions. I come back regularly and it’s consistently one of my favorite channels. You help maintain my Bannerlord addiction for better or worse. Cheers!
I appreciate that!!
Congrats! Keep going on this path and it will reward you!
I appreciate it! I'll be going to at least another 5 years or so, then I'll reevaluate :)
@@Strat-Guides Perfect! I will still be watching and by that time ill have a BA and you'll be at 1 million subs!
Thanks for the quality content
Thanks for the support!
Congratulations strat🎉
Thank you!
nice 100k, great job, Strat. I used to watch you a lot back in the day and now i usually put your videos on in the background because i like your voice and to give you some watchtime on your vids. Never thought id see your channel reach 100k this quick, bannerlord is a pretty small niche on yt and you are doing perfect bannerlord content. My congratulations on the milestone, i hope i live long enough to see you get 1m subs.
Thank you! Yeah it happened a lot faster than I was expecting, sadly I'll have to start covering more games as I think I've exhausted the Bannerlord audience. I appreciate the support and the kind words!
@@Strat-Guides i think peak of bannerlord audience would be about 150-200k, yeah, personally i watch you as background for the voice, so the game wouldn't fully matter to me, but you could get less views from your original audience at first which is quite tricky, hope you succeed in adding new content without losing much viewership and gain new audience.
congrats you deserve it
Thank you!!
Congratulations! 🎉
Hope you do a DOTA 2 TI reaction video or any DOTA 2 guide like you do in MB Bannelord.
I might do some DOTA2 streams in the future - I'm not sure I could make guides or anything for it since I'm so far out of the meta now. But I'm not opposed to doing some random streams from time to time :) Thank you!!
@Strat-Guides you streaming with talking random tips and tricks would be great
Wow I didn’t know strat was chill like that
wow... 100k... and I was here from the start... well... as long as you keep up making quality content you will keep growing, and so far you have been showing no signs of slowing down in that department :)
I appreciate that! I'm still working on improving and hopefully I don't get an ego and stop that process lol There's always room to get better :)
Congrats, brother!
More to come!
Thank you!
It’s clear you work very hard on your videos , keep it up :-)
Thanks!!
Congrats on 100k subs! Wish you all the best on your road to 1 million subs.
As a fellow X-series enjoyer, I recommend to try, if you haven't, an overhaul mod called "Litcube's Universe". It turns X3 into the massive-scale strategy game. I've personally sunk multiple hundreds of hours into it, it's amazing. X4 is good nowadays, but still hasn't reached X3AP level of completion, although empire building element of the game is top-notch.
Thanks! I was thinking about doing a video on Litcube's universe actually! I haven't played it, but I watched about 3 hours of gameplay and it looks soooo good. I'll definitely have to give X4 another look in the future.
Love the channel and the sincerity in this video. Speaking of College and "Stress", and being a psych major, I think Strat is describing the Yerkes-Dodson law, which defines the relationship between arousal (not that kind, well not necessarily) and performance. When you are put in over your head *a little*, it can actually be stimulating versus being in WAY over your head (stress), or not feeling challenged at all (bored). Try giving a serious lecture on arousal versus performance to college students. The optimal level of arousal for optimal performance depends on the complexity of the task. There is also "flow" state; I'd suspect flow state is when your level of arousal is perfectly aligned with the complexity of the task.
Interesting, I never really took and Psych classes, but it sounds like it would be very helpful in understand a lot of things in life!
Congrats Man❤️ I was wondering you done so much, how old are you?
Thank you! I'm in my late 30s :P Almost an old fart in terms of UA-cam
@@Strat-Guides an old fart making content that other old farts enjoy ;) I'm 42 btw.
woppaaaaaaa and congrats on reaching 100k man
I appreciate the support :D
Bro is a landlord... Kind of makes sense
Yeah I've always been in commission-based jobs since I was 18 and I prefer stability, so I did my best to convert my highly volatile income source into something much more predictable. Sadly, UA-cam is extremely volatile as well lol so there's no escaping it :P Thanks for watching!
UA-cam is inconsistent but its fun!
Special episode to celebrate 100k subs it doesn't matter whether your regrets are we still gonna support you
No Ragrets, right? :D
Wow I would never guess all that cool stuff about you if you hadn’t made this video. I would definitely love to see some dota streams from you and hearing about the transition from car work to real estate was super interesting! Love the vids, hope you keep ‘em coming!
For sure, I'll have to schedule a DOTA stream sometime! I should probably look up the statute of limitations for some of the car business stuff just in case... lol it was pretty wild the stuff they had us doing. Like, go to jail for a while type bad stuff.
*I just looked it up - 4 years in California so I'm good to go haha
@@Strat-Guideslmao maybe you gotta make a 4th channel for story times XD can’t wait for the dota stream!
@@SpiffSkyHigh haha that's all I need is another channel :D
@@Strat-Guidesbetween the houses and 3 channels and 2 kids, idk how you’re even finding time to feed yourself 😂 I’m out here struggling with 1 gig
"it gets the creative juices flowing." Nice 😂
Wow, it is so interesting to hear other people's life path thats vastly different from mine. Most people I know follow a similar path as me, go to college, join big tech company, and then climbing through the corp ladder. Most of the focus in the work is problem solving and project management but you have finite options and finite risks.
Its good to see how things are considered essential in one area, and completely optional in the other
Also can't help feeling your bad investment was getting Chinese / Hongkong real estate with family member and the project went busted..
Yeah it's interesting how things can be so different! The skills I developed in school vs working in sales vs running a youtube channel are all pretty different, but there's still some overlap fortunately.
The business deal was within the US actually - I had started investing out of state and was doing well on my own, but decided to try to do more, faster, etc. and picked up a partner that blew through a ton of cash. It took one tax cycle to catch the issues, but holy shit was there a lot of damage done in that short period of time. Some people are just disgusting, sadly. Lesson learned though - I call it the most expensive PhD in business lol
Grats Strat. Fun video!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video - you should try beyond all reason, supreme commander/total annihilation open source, community run game
A 6 foot fully functioning trebuchet? We need pics of that 😂😂 congrats on 100k!
This was back in early 2000s so I'll have to see if my parents kept any lol It was such a fun project though! That was back when I was heavily into AoE2 :) Thanks!
