Thanks for the update Siperos. I think you've been criminally under-subbed. Your content is great imo, and I find you entertaining (though I also have a dry sense of humour). But I understand the decision, and wish you well on your studies. If you ever do another Let's Play out of the blue that'd be a pleasant surprise
I discovered your channel because I searched Nox let's play and I simply clicked on your video not really knowing what to expect. Listening to you talk about the game and the fact that you sound like you're enjoying the game made me keep watching. You're definitely entertaining! You've got a great sense of humour, a cool accent and your Let's plays are definitely unique, an example would be the Fallout one, it was hilarious and fun to watch! Just a shame about the lack of subs and views which can be draw of the luck really sometimes.
I thoroughly enjoyed your let's play of Nox, that really took me back. I find your voice pleasant and soothing and I think you've done a good job so far. I'll surely watch other let's play from your channel, I'm only sorry I found out about it so late, just a few days ago.
I wish I could say I am a long time subscriber but I came across your channel a couple weeks ago. I was looking for LPs of specifically Lovecraftian games. Blind is an absolute bonus in my books! Your accent is delightful and sense of humor exactly what I look for! It figures you gave up before I found you but I'm hoping after you finish your studies you'll come back to some LPs just for fun. The algorithm sucks. I'm glad you've got lots of content for me to go through while waiting, though! The reasons to step back are absolutely understandable but I'll be looking forward to any future content you post! Thanks for hanging in as long as you did! You've got fantastic taste in games! I wouldn't have been at all interested if it was just more of the same popular stuff everyone else is playing.
Hey, I found you through the starcraft series, loved it all, would love to see more, I understand the sadness over not getting many views, youtube's algorithm is a strange being and trying to get it to show your videos is a mystery.
Hi Siperos! Sadly to hear that i joined your subscribers just a few days ago. I can understand your frustration and if you want I can give you just my view on that topic: In my point of view there is a big overflow in youtube from Lets-Players and everybody who "survives" needs to find its "niche" so his spot in youtube. We as watchers have a periode amount of time to spend our time with. And of cours there are some "mainstream" lets-players who are draining a lot of the viewers to their channel. And to stay in the water-comparing language you are a creek surrounded by rivers. A creek but a steady one, an interisting sounding one. I found your channel because you were the only one playing Stasis:Bone Totem with an understandable english. For example there is not even a single german lets player who played this game so i searched for an englisch one and found yours. So keep your heads up! You left behind a big chunk of artwork for your viewers and I am thankfull to find it. :)
I am really going to miss your let's plays! I must confess I am quite the backseat UA-cam viewer and often don't hit like on videos even when I really should. Similarly I tend to wait for all videos in a series to be out before bingeing them, as opposed to watching as they are released. This of course means I tend not to comment as I assume I am late to the discussion. But I most definitely do find your content enjoyable and entertaining and there have been many times looking forward to and watching your let's plays has been the highlight of my day. I apologise for my own lack of engagement with your videos, but they will be missed and I thank you for the many many hours you have put into creating this content. You have allowed me to experience games I otherwise would never have. I wish you all the best in your current and future endeavours, and I will certainly be sticking around for any content you do upload. Thank you once again.
I found your channel because steam featured faith unholy trinity and you were the first let's play playlist I found and I enjoyed it very much. I should've voted for "editing" in your survey but I didn't think about it at the time, however trimming down back tracking or cutting more of the failed boss attempts would be nice.
Sorry to hear you'll be going. I actually found your channel by accident years ago while searching for a content creator with a similar name. I've loved your let's plays of point-and-click adventures since, and especially the coverage you give to some games which are not so mainstream. I can only agree that the UA-cam algorithm is probably to blame for lack of growth. I'll miss your gameplay but I understand. Good luck with your studies!
I am really sorry that you came to this decision, as I just found your channel last week because of your last crusade let's play and found it really entertaining and fun. But I can totally understand, that you don't feel like investing so much time on you channel anymore, when it doesn't pay out and takes a lot of time.
Sorry to see you potentially giving up on let's plays. I watched you for years and even though it was off and on because I did not want spoilers for some games your vids were pretty entertaining.
Sorry to hear you’re quitting let’s plays man! If you’ll be happier not doing them though, it makes sense! Hope your university studies are going well!
I am honestly bit surprised that your channel never(/so far) didn't get more viewers. Your English is not that bad, and majority of English speaking people does not do it as first language, and by my experience, it is often even easier to understand non-native English for non-native English speaker. And content itself is decent - not best in the world, but decent. So, I would recommend that if you some point feel more interested to make more LP's, seek out more information about algorithm in UA-cam. And seek it near on that date when you will do it, because mad god of UA-cam - the algorithm keep changing like Perpentach's mind (Civ4, FFH mod). So, what was true some time ago, may not be true now or in near future. I do not have channel, nor interest to have channel. So, I never studied for topic of algorithm, but I accidentally time to time crossed with the topic time to time in different situations. Most clearest case for me, was when F.D Signifier made video about why he's channel became popular (why he got silver ...something... from UA-cam). And he's answer was shortly "mostly because by luck", mostly because algorithm happen to be in his side (didn't found that video from him). Anyway, my point is, that there is quite interesting things with algorithm... much more than you may first think about. The algorithm does not understand what it is doing, it just try...to do things. Learning about algorithm does not necessarily mean that you are min-maxing things, it can also mean just that you learn what you should NOT to do in order to avoid hurting your visibility. Personally I believe that with content of this channel there could be at least several hundreds, possibly more than one thousand regular views on videos. (But I am not professional, I am just charlatan - I may be wrong. This is just based on what I've seen other channels having...). And therefore I believe that algorithm is more to problem.
Dude i remember i subbed to you on another account of mine and spent a while trying to find you again but you y'know what i appreciate the memories you've made for all of us
I am one of those who don't really watch lets plays and i actually often avoid subscribing to channels that does it. Even if there are the rare non lets plays videos that i like, they are often burrowed under tons of lets plays video. Add to that, that my subscription view gets flooded with lets play videos since they are uploaded so frequently. By the way, yesterday before watching this video i was actually on your channel page trying to find a playlist of your reviews but i couldn't find anything. But good luck with your channel, hope it turn out well and that you have fun making videos.
If you go to my channel's front page and scroll down, it's the second last playlist titled 'My Thoughts On...' above the 'Let's Check Out...' playlist. That's where all of my review videos are. Every My Thoughts On-video should at the end recommend the same playlist too.
Ironically, I discovered your channel because one of your Toonstruck episodes was a reccommended video for me. You are entertaining, but I don't like most of the games you've played. I'll stay subscribed, but I would pay money to see you play "Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity."
Aw, man. Gonna miss the let's plays. I never understood why the channel hasn't grown.
Your "Dreams in the Witch House" and "Stasis: Bone totem" let's play was so good! Take the time you need, we'll wait :)
Thanks for the update Siperos. I think you've been criminally under-subbed. Your content is great imo, and I find you entertaining (though I also have a dry sense of humour).

Going to miss your lets plays
UA-cam has definitely made let's plays rough going in the last 4-5 years. Hope you find something fun to do with your time.
I am one of those who don't really watch lets plays and i actually often avoid subscribing to channels that does it. Even if there are the rare non lets plays videos that i like, they are often burrowed under tons of lets plays video.

ah nice, i was in the playlist tab instead@@Siperos
@@dumlepumle Yeah I don't know why it doesn't show up there either.
Ironically, I discovered your channel because one of your Toonstruck episodes was a reccommended video for me. You are entertaining, but I don't like most of the games you've played. I'll stay subscribed, but I would pay money to see you play "Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity."
Very sad to see you want to stop making lets play videos. You are the reason I have Blood in my steam library :)
