hey man, you don’t owe nobody anything. do what you like and enjoy making that content. failing is only another form of learning. learn; absorb; grow; and flourish. it’s how you get better at anything. i believe in you.
I enjoyed the Space Engineers content before you blew up and while I wasn't here from the start, I tought the videos always had great quality and I loved how immersed you have been while playing. Thank you
It took a lot of courage to open up and share this. Thank you for trusting us, and letting us hear what we needed to hear as well. Also, I watch NSS for the fail, as well as for the amazing builds and the incredible success; the fail embedded gives me hope that I can do manage something similar. So don't be afraid to be human and share the fail with us - we'll be here cheering you on all the same.
I've always appreciated your storytelling, explanations/talking through stuff, and editing. You've yet to make something I didn't enjoy and I know you didn't make this video to fish for compliments, because that's not the kind of creator you are, but I'm giving one anyways so you know your work and art is appreciated. I've often thought lately about how I hadn't see a video from you in awhile and when your V Rising review dropped, it was very exciting. I personally am really excited to see you around again, and hope you can find a good balance so you can enjoy making videos and avoid burnout.
I’m glad to see that you are valuing your self worth over self imposed expectations. I cannot wait to see what you make in the future! Also thanks for letting us know what’s been troubling you, it’s always a good thing when people open up about what has been bothering them and trying to seek a solution. Sorry about the mini ramble😂 your content is awesome!!
I found you through the project zomboid movie and enjoyed it. Then I went back and watched your NSS series and really enjoyed that. I'm glad you're back and am looking forward to what you do next.
Hey bro I think its cool you made this vid, I found your NSS series during a sorta rough patch and found it very comforting. Just wanted to say that while I've been missing the Space Engineers videos, I've been missing you making videos more than anything else. Hope you start feeling better and I'm excited to see whatever new stuff you've been wanting to try. Just want you to know that while you certainly can't make everyone like you, you can definitely appreciate the ones who do. Only the best 👍
Thank you for posting this video, man. I am going through something pretty similar and this video actually really helped me and gave me motivation and reason. Just remember that this explanation helped you grow immensely as a person and i believe it also help you get something off of your chest. I wish you all the best and i will keep being a viewer of your channel ❤
You're right - you don't owe anyone online anything. The 300 day PZ series is one of my favorite of all time, and while I'd like to see another run in the same style, I get wanting to just move on. I did the same with a channel I started years ago. Got some traction and immediately lost all motivation to keep doing it. Things IRL are more important.
The fact that you soldiered on in spite of failure looming was one of the things that drew me to your videos, starting with No Suit Survival. Few people attempted such a challenge as that degree of difficulty would inevitably lead to down time due to constant character deaths, and the sheer amount of rebuilding would make progress near impossible. As creating content goes, this is even more difficult as it's hard to make the unending failure entertaining or even compelling. In spite of that though, you found a way to make those failures fun, and you even carved your way up to space in the face of storms that destroyed everything you created. You even created your own personal aesthetic and soundtrack that I feel helps you stand out, and no matter what crazy scheme you want to attempt, I am certain you will find a way to inject those unique qualities into it, failure or not.
Just went through something similar very recently. Took me a while to realise the only person who truly hated me was me. Love your content. 100% make what you want and be compassionate with yourself.
I'm glad you made this video and published it! I think it's a huge step in liking yourself, and I am glad you are trying your best. I subscribed around the time of your SE series w/o building thrusters (Or NSS, unsure which) and I have enjoyed most of your content ever since.
Idc what you, i just want to let you know that I appreciate what you have done, you are a great story teller, got the voice for it too. Godspeed my guy
I watched about all the no suit survival stuff you did and it was glorious. And I like a lot of the other things you did with SE and the other games. Just do your thing and have fun. You are a human. We all make mistakes and we all learn constantly. On a side note: Seeing those wooden things on your wall, I can see your liking of the neon tubes in SE.
Hello there my friend, I met you in 2021 with a video called NSS Ep.3. At that moment I was having one of the worst moments of my life, and for some reason I connected a lot with you, I had a very good moment watching your video and it continued with all the subsequent ones. You gave me something to look forward to every day, something to have some excitement about when I had nothing. You eventually became my favorite creator, and I know it's a little strange because you don't know me, but I consider you my friend. I would like to remind you in this difficult moment for you how important you were to me (and many others) in my most difficult moment. I will always continue waiting for a video from you and to hear from you, you are a very good creator, and you have a very sincere and fun personality. I am sure that wherever you stand, success will flourish as it has until now. Always here for you, my friend.
This is such great self reflection. I'm also on that same journey. It can be so hard to really internalize it even after realizing. Anyway, I appreciated this! 🎉🥳
I've enjoyed your videos since the very first NSS episode. I found you through CaptainShack and always thought that it was cool how you're a fellow fan. Good for you for realizing these things about yourself - I just look forward to you doing what you feel is best and hopefully I'll get to witness some more of your journey as you share it with us! Or not - that's cool too. You're putting this stuff up on YT for free, so I certainly don't think you owe us anything! Thanks for being you.
Man, I feel you. The self expectation once you make a huge video is something that took me a bit to get through. You can own it, you DID that, it blew up for a reason. I'll admit I'm guilty of being jealous of your success and wondering why I didn't get it but like, that's super narcissistic and egotistical. I didn't earn my big videos any more than you earned yours. Honestly, I just fell upward. I hope you find or already have the passion that started this in the first place, can be forgiving to yourself if it doesn't work out, and allow yourself to take pride in everything you've done. Also, we have the same chair
just keep making what you want bro. ever since I stumbled upon your 100 days video, the 300 days movie has been a go to for me whenever I needed a video to watch until I fall asleep at night. It's not the content that hooked me, but your narration, personality and ideas.
Going Viral, as you did, while being still a rather small channel isn't easy, I guess. I can't relate due to my own experiences. But I've heard creators say that a lot in recent months. It sets your own expectations super high and is almost a guarantee for failure. You are a cool dude, and I have subscribed since you played Space Engineers only because your builds are insane! I was glad for you and the sudden success. You are likeable and also a very good gamer. Don't worry too much. Try, fail and just try again. You have the best conditions to actually grow this channel to something big imho. Cheers to you! P.s.: I myself, want to start uploading on my channel and I am procrastinating now for more than five months, just because I can't overcome my own expectations. I have friggin everything set up. I got the equipment, I got the memes on my hard-drive, I have the software... I got everything. I could just start to make a video right NOW, with like four clicks. And I don't do it, because I wanna be the new Jacksepticeye/Pewdiepie whatever.... It's absolute BS and not how YT works, but my emotional self has to catch up with my rational self that already knows: Just try, fail and try again. The struggle is real and it's everywhere! :D Keep it up! I'm sure this channel will be big!
Thanks for sharing bro, here since the beginning and as they say. You can't please any1 but you have pleased at least 154.000 people (the subcribers). Honestly any content you made was good bro. Loved every NSS ep, skyjack and for me personally the 100, 200 and 300 days PZ series. As allways love the content you make and if you feel like it. Im happy to watch anything regardless game or qually,
man so glad you got this out there, I've felt that feeling of not deserving the success you've been given (even if mine is 10x smaller then yours) and I struggled with posting videos that don't do as well as the previous, but so good to hear another creator talking about the inner struggle of feeling like you need to please everyone, when in the end your content should be what you want it to be not what you think people want.
Mavn, your NSS series is still one of my favorite series on UA-cam. Good luck in finding your peace, man. We all have our doubts that we battle with. I'm excited to see what you do next!
the fear of failure is such a big thing, I wish I was over it myself but alas it's hard to get over. I wish you luck and all the best wishes in your future endeavors, whatever they might be. Keep up the good work
Your brother seems like a genuinely wise man and a fine brother indeed. That same thing he's been trying to drive home with you is something I've been trying to help my own brother grasp, as he truly feels the weight of his failures in the context of others despite being such an incredibly good and caring person. Failure is a necessary, unavoidable component of success. Your brother is right, you don't owe anybody, anything, except yourself. You owe it to yourself, to have love and respect enough for yourself, to pursue whatever it is that truly lights the fire inside. In this video, you said that you're going to start trying to do the things you want to do, regardless of how others perceive and regardless of success or failure. _Please do EXACTLY that, and nothing less!_ You deserve to give yourself the liberation of that decision. Also, you said you didn't "deserve it" (I'm assuming you're referring to the 300 Days of Zomboid series). Bro, you didn't just hit the UA-cam lottery, what carried the success of those videos was YOU and the extremely fun and interesting and imaginative personality you have. You literally invigorated me to play Zomboid again during one of the deepest depressions I've ever had in my life so far at 34, and at that time I needed that little bit of motivation to just play a video game more than I can possibly communicate, as I believed I would never have that fire again, and that broke me inside for a while. And what lit that fire in me? It was _exclusively_ by merit of your expression of motivation and way of setting your own goals in the game, and your willingness to EMBRACE FAILURE within that context! You are wildly underestimating yourself and the spirit of creativity and fun that you so clearly harbor. I don't mean to lecture you man, I just really want you to hear this perspective sincerely from someone who you can trust isn't directly incentivized by trying to "make you feel better" as it were due to the obligations of a close relationship. In other words, you can trust I'm not trying to placate you due to a pre-existing relationship where it's expected of me to do so. Anyways, I have really enjoyed seeing you on cam (I totally thought you were asian and I don't understand why or how that strong perception came about! 😂) and I really look forward to any content you put out going forward, be it PZD related or otherwise, and regardless of whether it's a shining success or whatever. Personally, I'm here because I like your uniqueness in creative expression, and I hope this comment somehow finds you well and that it helps to illustrate to you that those limiting self-reflections you might be imposing on yourself are based not in the evidence or substance of reality, but based on the self-consciousness of the ego of comparison. Let that go, and above all, please be kind to yourself in your mind. Choose your words with yourself carefully, as what you speak to yourself, you will express and manifest outwardly into the world. As above, so below. As within, so without. “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” ~ Buddha
thats crazy i just went to go watch your pz movie again because i loved that video and i was like man where has this guy gone. only to see you posted 15 minutes ago. this video is so real and vulnerable of you to post thank you for being so open and brave, its inspiring.
Mavn you are the absolute man. Stay true to you and your family and you will always find joy. Thank you for being vulnerable. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for you.
I absolutely loved your NSS videos my dude! The way you creatively came up with solutions and actually engineered your way through problems was awesome for two reasons. One is that you still took the time to make things aesthetically pleasing when you could've made everything boring and ugly. Two is that for a game about engineering, up until watching you play I had never seen anyone actually engineer anything to solve problems in a sensible fashion. Most SE videos they've got the jetpack on at all times, and make all in one ships that can do everything and have no soul. You're absolutely right in that you don't need anyone to like you, but we here do like you. If you're done posting I respect that and I appreciate that we had you for the time we did. Take care dude! 🤙
You are one of the best Storyteller's on youtube. I love you're content do what you enjoy most if thats something else then do it!!!.Don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise you do you brother ❤ you're content is free alot of people would charge a fee for what you do thats proof you love your community and we love you back for just for that.
Hey man, don't beat yourself up. This is a common issue among many UA-camrs. I can relate in some ways, as a musician. It's really hard when something is your hobby, and you have one video do far better than everything else, and then that becomes the new baseline. It also gets you to start focusing on the wrong thing, the popularity. The reason you get popular in the first place is because you were being you and focusing on the fun, and just doing your thing. Once you get popular, you start trying to chase that and it's easy to forget what got you there in the first place. You start looking for some formula for success, when in reality you had it all along. It's nice to hear you say you're ready for failure. It's a really hard hurdle to get over, but it's necessary for your mental health and success in general. Any successful self-made person will tell you failure is what got them there. Failure is a good thing, Yin needs Yang. Also just wanted to say, your 300 movie is only 10 months old, and I've watched it twice. I've never watched a video that long multiple times, even years later. You're a very talented story-teller. But don't burn yourself out with PZ if you're not enjoying it as much anymore, do the other things you want to do. Sure, they won't be nearly as popular at first, but over time people will start to come here for YOU, not the game. Looking forward to whatever else you do man, take whatever time you need. Peace.
Just subscribed! I saw your PZ 300 Days Movie and was super interested in your other content! I've just recently gotten into the community and while I do hope you make more PZ content, I'm planning to be in this for the long run, no matter what kind of content you make. So, cheers mate! I hope your mental health is at least a little better.
I love your content and you seem like a good guy as well. Failures happen. I'm an old man and I'm fully aware that failure is a part of life. Just keep moving forward. Having said that, I've not seen anything from you that wasn't a great video. Keep it up. I loved the 300 days zomboid video. I've probably watched it 50 times, no joke.
Love this my guy, I think I needed to hear this too! You just do you that’s what made your video successful not the UA-cam lottery. I did find the Chanel from the project zombiod but that then lead me to binge watch all of your no suit survival series and you’ve been great since the beginning.
I totally feel how you feel, I hope I can achieve the same goal one day and become happier with myself but your content is great man, Hell I'm enjoying your SkyJack series now and can't wait to watch your Zero Suit series next Do whatever your able to do and good luck, I'm know I'm not the only person rooting for you
Do whatever you feel is right! I’ve watched your zomboid videos while trying to fall asleep but I kept backtracking until i’ve finished the whole thing and I will do it again. You’ll be alright man!!
Hey man, appreciate you sharing and opening up. Found your vids and instantly knew you made great content that you clearly care about. Wish you the best on your journey and looking forward to whatever comes next.
I joined in on about NSS episode 5 or something. I continued watching because you looked like you were enjoying the game yourself, which made it really fun to watch too. Don't force yourself to do anything you don't enjoy. Just be yourself and do what you want. :)
I watched NSS for the builds. Your bases, and the way you lit them, were awesome. If you want to create for people, but don't fance doing a video, perhaps consider throwing stuff onto the Steam Workshop.
Best advise I ever got was from my twin brother. His words were...."If you dont like me, Get the f***k out of the truck!!! Why he said it I don't even remember but the point was you can't please everybody. For me, You have some of the funniest down to earth content that makes my days better when i watch your videos. I have watched your project zomboid videos more than i care to admidt. Do what makes u happy and anybody who don't like it. Can get the F***k out the truck!!
Great video man, came at a perfect time for me. You seem like a genuine dude and some (but few) people may not like you simply for that but like you said it doesn't matter, keep being you dude
From a random dude on the internet, stay strong and go with your gut, and what you think is right for you 😁 We're all only human, we all have our ups and downs and things we excel and dont excel at. Find what works for you and what you enjoy and the rest will follow ❤
I love you videos, and i have checked back a couple of times this past few months to check to see if there was anything new. but I am so excited to hopefully see more videos from you, particularly now that you are doing it out of want and no obligations to your fans/family/etc.
ADVICE-NEVER BE STOP TO CONTINUE A PROJECT THATS GOING WELL JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL THAT IT WONT BE RECEIVED AS WELL AS THE LAST PART BECAUSE IT WILL STILL APPEAL TO PEOPLE(not always as much)FOR THE SAME REASONS THE LAST TIME DID AS WELL AS ÎN MOVIES THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS BETTER BUT EVERYBODY APRECIATES A GOOD SERIES IF THE MAKERS DONT LOSE INTEREST!! KEEP MILKING THE COW THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO ÎS JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER PROJECT SUCCES DOSENT COME ON A RGULAR BASIS IT IS A PROCESS OF TRIAL AND ERROR THIS SERIES UP TO 300 days WAS A BANGER AND YOU SHOULD HAVE BEAT THE IRON WHEN IT WAS HOT SINCE YOU WOULD GET LOTS OF VIEWS UNTIL YOU MOVE ON IF YOU SAW THAT THE SAME APPROACH DIDNT MAKE THE VIWERS STANDARDS PLEASE CONTINUE I AM GLAD YOU ARE READY TO CONTINUE THE STORY AGAIN AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY THINK YOU DESERVE EVERY VIEW DONT BE S-O HARSH ON YOURSELF💪🔥🔥🙏❤
well i reckon allot of us here are gonna be on this journey with you and see and experience what you wanna do and enjoy it along the way, love your vids always will
I am a newer viewer but I love what you did here. Love you as a human being my guy and genuinely I am so happy for you to be able to come out and make this video to address how you feel currently and going forward and I think more people should do this. Wish nothing but love and growth for you virtually and physically my friend have a good night!
Oh man, okay, to start with, you're the main reason why I even made a channel. Like me, I'm sure a lot of others felt inspired by what you did. Your journey on PZ was amazing. And if your next video doesn't do well, it's fine too; your subs will be here supporting you in the end. And it's fine to fail. It doesn't mean it's not going to hurt, but just keep on going. Heck, my latest video flopped like a fish on dry land after seeing good growth, and that hurt so much. But, we like you, Madmavn! And that's who you need to focus on, even if some people don't. Focus on the people who do like you, and try not to think too much (I know it's hard) about the ones who don't. You can't make everyone happy. I hope to see you soon, whatever game you're thinking of playing next.❤
I hope you do what makes you happy❤ idc if I hate it but ima like the videos and watch the whole thing, because its the only way I can afford to support your content rn! As long as its you being you, you will be great in my book!
Hey Mavn! Been awhile since I checked up on you. I remember the first time you made a video like this, and it hit me hard that you were suffering the same things I was. I loved NSS, left before your 100 days series. But what really impacted me was your other (presumably privated/deleted) video like this one. If you continue ANYTHING on this channel, keep up these mental health/check in videos. I'd much rather know you're doing well and having fun with this channel than to only see "that persona" as you called it. I really hope you can find what works and what you need Mavn, good luck, there's always going to be those rooting for YOU, not for your next video.
I'm really proud of you and relate to this wholeheartedly. We're here to support you for you and if others don't like it, that's their own problem and not at all on you
You never failed though, as long as even 1 person enjoyed your content, you were successful in changing someone’s entire day for the better! I watched your PZ300 days movie and I was having a bad day so far, I binged the entire thing and I was ecstatic the rest of the day! It was also the first time I sat down and watched some random person’s hours long video, I’m glad I did!
Props to you man for getting it off you’re chest don't ever be afraid to expand and grow and to be yourself. Don't let fear stop you from doing the things you wanna do. I know it's hard for people to have different opinions about you but that's all they are words. Just keep doing what you’re doing and I look forward to see what comes next on this channel! 😁👍
Have enjoyed all your content mate, the SE stuff and your PZ stuff was one of the main reasons I started playing. Every video may not be a hit, but do what you enjoy and put it out there. Those who resonate with and appreciate it will be here for the ride :)
Hey Mavn, try not to worry about popularity, youtube is fickle, people will come and go, you got a a couple videos that did far better than you expected, don't let them define your content. Do what you want, your core audience will stay with you. If you follow trends you will go down the "New Coke" route and lose the people who like you for you. focus on the games you enjoy, in the format you enjoy, whether it is "successful" or not shouldnt be a factor in your decisions. Your core fans like watching your stuff because we enjoy you and your ideas. I hope you feel better mentally, we have missed your videos.
I've heard a lot of UA-camrs say this, please if you read this, failure is okay its how you build and grow, if you don't have a flop of a video how do you know that you need to do better than it, look at constructive criticism learn from it, don't let it get you down, if you need someone talk to I can insure there are plenty of people out there who are willing to talk to you about this, including me and idek you, please take care of yourself, no one needs to like you as long as you are happy with yourself and your creations you will never need that validation from others, as some guy said that I thought was beautiful. don't spend your time trying to catch butterflies, create a beautiful garden and butterflies will come to you in time, and if they don't at least you still have that beautiful garden Stay strong my guy ❤❤
Man, I'm happy to see you somewhat happy and healthy. Stupid to be worried about some youtuber I guess, but I admit I was kinda worried. Follow your goals and dreams since if you're happy, you'll easily infect others in your life being happy for you. Either if close friends or us random people. Stay healthy and happy everyone!
MadMavn, the very best advice I've ever heard is: You Be YOU! That's it, just allow yourself to be YOU. If you want to play Space Engineers and give helpful hints, laughing at yourself for doing the opposite of a "no brainer", of just buildin' and chillin', that would be fine. If you want to play PONG and giggle yourself silly, DO IT! If you think playing Project Zomboid sounds great to YOU, then do it! YOU BE YOU! Do your own thang! Just have fun with it. You've already "ARRIVED". People know who you are, so you HAVE your audience. Now go and create something, young man! We'll be here watching when you post it. We may not "like" or "love" YOU, because we don't really KNOW you. But your content is some of the very best out there, and we (your audience) are here to stay. Love your channel!!!
I needed this, thank you like I really did. I'm releasing my own video soon, & haha I'm going to reference this man appreciate it, My situation is a bit similar but obviously different in ways. This resonated with me thumbnail & all because I was planning on making a video like this & putting a thumbnail even quite similar.
One thing I've always kept in the back of my head is that "Those who have achieved success didn't quit when they failed." Meaning failure in anything you strive for is inevitable, it's up to you to either give up and try something else, or learn from your failure and try again. Failure is ok. Failure is natural. It is how we grow as humans and learn the things that don't work so we can discover what does work. If you spend your time worrying about what others think of you instead of spending your time on thinking about what you think of yourself, you're not going to have a good time. No one's opinion about you matters more than what your opinion of yourself does. Who cares what others think, if you're not someone's cup of tea, then you're not someone's cup of tea. It is what it is. You got this, Mavn. You're doing well. Thank you for the content you create and I look forward to more of your content.
My man, relax a little, take your time, but if it helps I would like to give my two cents of opinion here: Yeah, you got lucky with those Project Zomboid videos, but that doesn't mean you have to hold the bar at that level, just be glad for the algorithm and keep going with what you had, it clearly works out if did that time. Secondly, don't worry so much about what will happen next because everything that does will only be a result of you acting, but if you don't do anything, then nothing will happen as a result of your inaction. What I'm trying to say is, just keep doing what you want and see where that leads you, don't worry so much about what would happen, because you can't know for sure and that will only serve to keep you from doing what you want to do. Best of luck
Just found your 300 day video and I just gotta ask - what happened at the Military Base?! Seriously though, you def have talent and I hope to see more from you in the future!
Bro you are so loved. You can only get 20 views and still be a winner. Keep going man, keep your head up. Focus on your personal mental health and when you are ready you know we are here. Your content is great. We can’t wait to see you back here.
I'm just glad you're okay, man. Was starting to think the worst. Do whatever YOU wanna do. Be yourself brother. I assure you a lot of people will support whatever content you want to do going forward.
I'm glad you made this video. I have missed your content and was worried something happened to you. Hope you are able to move forward making more great content.
We all have that constant desire for people to like us. As a 53 year old, retired Army Sgt; trust me... some will, some won't... so what, move on. I've been here since NSS Ep 1 (on a different account because I was still in the Army at the time). I would love to see NSS come back for a season 3, but whatever you decide to do, just do it... Kind of like Nike, brother. Just do you. Shalom
A very healthy outlook and I'm glad you're taking this self-awareness introspection journey. Self-acceptance is and should be first and foremost. Once you realize that true happiness comes from within and never something dependent upon other people to provide, true wisdom is within reach. Only you have the power to control how you feel, how you respond to the world and what you want to make of it for yourself, to live in harmony with your own values. If you're interested in psychology topics at all, I encourage you to look up the INFP personality type. I think you might find something interesting there.
Most people will likely agree, your content when you started was simple, elegant and easy to follow. these first episode's of space engineers really was the definition of making videos for fun, not as a job or to appease the audience. We the viewers just want to watch you enjoy the games you wish to play. Remember this, you are the content not the game or progress. If your happy making videos and playing, so are we
Hey bro, It’s ya boi Nick. Your videos are of great quality. I haven’t seen all of them, but your talent is clear. Obviously, you should do what you feel is prudent for your channel, as well as what might bring you success; that said, I have a few thoughts. 1. Most importantly, do what sparks passion and brings you joy. This is not only important for your own happiness, but also the quality of the video. Mix it up, go crazy, be as genuine as you can. People will flock to you like a guiding star. 2. Prioritize community over raw views. Certainly views bring the cash, which might be the ultimate goal for most. This video has a crazy amount of comments proportionally. Your community cares about you and further videos. 3. Establish some form of consistency in uploads. The actual length between uploads seems to matter less than the actual consistency of said uploads. JonTron uploads like once a year and people are fine with it because they have become accustomed to it. I hope that none of this seems patronizing in any way, these are simply some of my thoughts as a MadMavn Fan. Thanks!

hey man, you don’t owe nobody anything. do what you like and enjoy making that content. failing is only another form of learning. learn; absorb; grow; and flourish. it’s how you get better at anything. i believe in you.
I enjoyed the Space Engineers content before you blew up and while I wasn't here from the start, I tought the videos always had great quality and I loved how immersed you have been while playing. Thank you
I'm here since NSS Episode 3, I think you'll find a way brother. Keep your head on straight, do what you like and feel comfortable with.
Let's goooooo!!! NSS is the best SE series out there to date!
still cant believe that yt recommended it to me with like 500 views. sometimes algorithm knows its job
It took a lot of courage to open up and share this. Thank you for trusting us, and letting us hear what we needed to hear as well.
Also, I watch NSS for the fail, as well as for the amazing builds and the incredible success; the fail embedded gives me hope that I can do manage something similar. So don't be afraid to be human and share the fail with us - we'll be here cheering you on all the same.
I've always appreciated your storytelling, explanations/talking through stuff, and editing. You've yet to make something I didn't enjoy and I know you didn't make this video to fish for compliments, because that's not the kind of creator you are, but I'm giving one anyways so you know your work and art is appreciated. I've often thought lately about how I hadn't see a video from you in awhile and when your V Rising review dropped, it was very exciting. I personally am really excited to see you around again, and hope you can find a good balance so you can enjoy making videos and avoid burnout.
I’m glad to see that you are valuing your self worth over self imposed expectations. I cannot wait to see what you make in the future! Also thanks for letting us know what’s been troubling you, it’s always a good thing when people open up about what has been bothering them and trying to seek a solution. Sorry about the mini ramble😂 your content is awesome!!
I found you through the project zomboid movie and enjoyed it. Then I went back and watched your NSS series and really enjoyed that. I'm glad you're back and am looking forward to what you do next.
Hey bro I think its cool you made this vid, I found your NSS series during a sorta rough patch and found it very comforting. Just wanted to say that while I've been missing the Space Engineers videos, I've been missing you making videos more than anything else. Hope you start feeling better and I'm excited to see whatever new stuff you've been wanting to try. Just want you to know that while you certainly can't make everyone like you, you can definitely appreciate the ones who do. Only the best 👍
Thank you for posting this video, man.
I am going through something pretty similar and this video actually really helped me and gave me motivation and reason.
Just remember that this explanation helped you grow immensely as a person and i believe it also help you get something off of your chest.
I wish you all the best and i will keep being a viewer of your channel ❤
You're right - you don't owe anyone online anything. The 300 day PZ series is one of my favorite of all time, and while I'd like to see another run in the same style, I get wanting to just move on. I did the same with a channel I started years ago. Got some traction and immediately lost all motivation to keep doing it. Things IRL are more important.
The fact that you soldiered on in spite of failure looming was one of the things that drew me to your videos, starting with No Suit Survival.
Few people attempted such a challenge as that degree of difficulty would inevitably lead to down time due to constant character deaths, and the sheer amount of rebuilding would make progress near impossible. As creating content goes, this is even more difficult as it's hard to make the unending failure entertaining or even compelling.
In spite of that though, you found a way to make those failures fun, and you even carved your way up to space in the face of storms that destroyed everything you created.
You even created your own personal aesthetic and soundtrack that I feel helps you stand out, and no matter what crazy scheme you want to attempt, I am certain you will find a way to inject those unique qualities into it, failure or not.
Just went through something similar very recently. Took me a while to realise the only person who truly hated me was me. Love your content. 100% make what you want and be compassionate with yourself.
I really hope you didn't hate you. Please never hate you. Maybe you can be disappointed a bit but hate is NOT what you deserve for yourself
I'm glad you made this video and published it! I think it's a huge step in liking yourself, and I am glad you are trying your best. I subscribed around the time of your SE series w/o building thrusters (Or NSS, unsure which) and I have enjoyed most of your content ever since.
Idc what you, i just want to let you know that I appreciate what you have done, you are a great story teller, got the voice for it too. Godspeed my guy
I have been with you since 2k subs, just want to say, I will watch whatever you put out, views are just a number. Love your content man!
I watched about all the no suit survival stuff you did and it was glorious. And I like a lot of the other things you did with SE and the other games. Just do your thing and have fun. You are a human. We all make mistakes and we all learn constantly.
On a side note: Seeing those wooden things on your wall, I can see your liking of the neon tubes in SE.
Hello there my friend, I met you in 2021 with a video called NSS Ep.3. At that moment I was having one of the worst moments of my life, and for some reason I connected a lot with you, I had a very good moment watching your video and it continued with all the subsequent ones. You gave me something to look forward to every day, something to have some excitement about when I had nothing. You eventually became my favorite creator, and I know it's a little strange because you don't know me, but I consider you my friend. I would like to remind you in this difficult moment for you how important you were to me (and many others) in my most difficult moment. I will always continue waiting for a video from you and to hear from you, you are a very good creator, and you have a very sincere and fun personality. I am sure that wherever you stand, success will flourish as it has until now.
Always here for you, my friend.
This is such great self reflection. I'm also on that same journey. It can be so hard to really internalize it even after realizing. Anyway, I appreciated this! 🎉🥳
I've enjoyed your videos since the very first NSS episode. I found you through CaptainShack and always thought that it was cool how you're a fellow fan. Good for you for realizing these things about yourself - I just look forward to you doing what you feel is best and hopefully I'll get to witness some more of your journey as you share it with us! Or not - that's cool too. You're putting this stuff up on YT for free, so I certainly don't think you owe us anything! Thanks for being you.
Bro, have your yoko ono phase if that's what makes you happy. You got this.
Man, I feel you. The self expectation once you make a huge video is something that took me a bit to get through. You can own it, you DID that, it blew up for a reason. I'll admit I'm guilty of being jealous of your success and wondering why I didn't get it but like, that's super narcissistic and egotistical. I didn't earn my big videos any more than you earned yours. Honestly, I just fell upward.
I hope you find or already have the passion that started this in the first place, can be forgiving to yourself if it doesn't work out, and allow yourself to take pride in everything you've done.
Also, we have the same chair
just keep making what you want bro. ever since I stumbled upon your 100 days video, the 300 days movie has been a go to for me whenever I needed a video to watch until I fall asleep at night. It's not the content that hooked me, but your narration, personality and ideas.
Going Viral, as you did, while being still a rather small channel isn't easy, I guess. I can't relate due to my own experiences. But I've heard creators say that a lot in recent months. It sets your own expectations super high and is almost a guarantee for failure. You are a cool dude, and I have subscribed since you played Space Engineers only because your builds are insane! I was glad for you and the sudden success. You are likeable and also a very good gamer. Don't worry too much. Try, fail and just try again. You have the best conditions to actually grow this channel to something big imho. Cheers to you!
P.s.: I myself, want to start uploading on my channel and I am procrastinating now for more than five months, just because I can't overcome my own expectations. I have friggin everything set up. I got the equipment, I got the memes on my hard-drive, I have the software... I got everything. I could just start to make a video right NOW, with like four clicks. And I don't do it, because I wanna be the new Jacksepticeye/Pewdiepie whatever.... It's absolute BS and not how YT works, but my emotional self has to catch up with my rational self that already knows: Just try, fail and try again.
The struggle is real and it's everywhere! :D
Keep it up! I'm sure this channel will be big!
Just start, that's the hardest part. Then pivot if need be...
Please continue the 400Days project zomboid. We love the story!
Thanks for sharing bro, here since the beginning and as they say. You can't please any1 but you have pleased at least 154.000 people (the subcribers).
Honestly any content you made was good bro. Loved every NSS ep, skyjack and for me personally the 100, 200 and 300 days PZ series.
As allways love the content you make and if you feel like it. Im happy to watch anything regardless game or qually,
man so glad you got this out there, I've felt that feeling of not deserving the success you've been given (even if mine is 10x smaller then yours) and I struggled with posting videos that don't do as well as the previous, but so good to hear another creator talking about the inner struggle of feeling like you need to please everyone, when in the end your content should be what you want it to be not what you think people want.
Mavn, your NSS series is still one of my favorite series on UA-cam. Good luck in finding your peace, man. We all have our doubts that we battle with. I'm excited to see what you do next!
the fear of failure is such a big thing, I wish I was over it myself but alas it's hard to get over. I wish you luck and all the best wishes in your future endeavors, whatever they might be. Keep up the good work
Your brother seems like a genuinely wise man and a fine brother indeed. That same thing he's been trying to drive home with you is something I've been trying to help my own brother grasp, as he truly feels the weight of his failures in the context of others despite being such an incredibly good and caring person.
Failure is a necessary, unavoidable component of success. Your brother is right, you don't owe anybody, anything, except yourself. You owe it to yourself, to have love and respect enough for yourself, to pursue whatever it is that truly lights the fire inside.
In this video, you said that you're going to start trying to do the things you want to do, regardless of how others perceive and regardless of success or failure.
_Please do EXACTLY that, and nothing less!_ You deserve to give yourself the liberation of that decision.
Also, you said you didn't "deserve it" (I'm assuming you're referring to the 300 Days of Zomboid series).
Bro, you didn't just hit the UA-cam lottery, what carried the success of those videos was YOU and the extremely fun and interesting and imaginative personality you have. You literally invigorated me to play Zomboid again during one of the deepest depressions I've ever had in my life so far at 34, and at that time I needed that little bit of motivation to just play a video game more than I can possibly communicate, as I believed I would never have that fire again, and that broke me inside for a while. And what lit that fire in me? It was _exclusively_ by merit of your expression of motivation and way of setting your own goals in the game, and your willingness to EMBRACE FAILURE within that context!
You are wildly underestimating yourself and the spirit of creativity and fun that you so clearly harbor. I don't mean to lecture you man, I just really want you to hear this perspective sincerely from someone who you can trust isn't directly incentivized by trying to "make you feel better" as it were due to the obligations of a close relationship. In other words, you can trust I'm not trying to placate you due to a pre-existing relationship where it's expected of me to do so.
Anyways, I have really enjoyed seeing you on cam (I totally thought you were asian and I don't understand why or how that strong perception came about! 😂) and I really look forward to any content you put out going forward, be it PZD related or otherwise, and regardless of whether it's a shining success or whatever.
Personally, I'm here because I like your uniqueness in creative expression, and I hope this comment somehow finds you well and that it helps to illustrate to you that those limiting self-reflections you might be imposing on yourself are based not in the evidence or substance of reality, but based on the self-consciousness of the ego of comparison.
Let that go, and above all, please be kind to yourself in your mind.
Choose your words with yourself carefully, as what you speak to yourself, you will express and manifest outwardly into the world.
As above, so below.
As within, so without.
“What you think, you become.
What you feel, you attract.
What you imagine, you create.” ~ Buddha
thats crazy i just went to go watch your pz movie again because i loved that video and i was like man where has this guy gone. only to see you posted 15 minutes ago.
this video is so real and vulnerable of you to post thank you for being so open and brave, its inspiring.
Mavn you are the absolute man. Stay true to you and your family and you will always find joy. Thank you for being vulnerable. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for you.
Very vulnerable, very courageous. Keep on going man.
I absolutely loved your NSS videos my dude! The way you creatively came up with solutions and actually engineered your way through problems was awesome for two reasons. One is that you still took the time to make things aesthetically pleasing when you could've made everything boring and ugly. Two is that for a game about engineering, up until watching you play I had never seen anyone actually engineer anything to solve problems in a sensible fashion. Most SE videos they've got the jetpack on at all times, and make all in one ships that can do everything and have no soul. You're absolutely right in that you don't need anyone to like you, but we here do like you. If you're done posting I respect that and I appreciate that we had you for the time we did. Take care dude! 🤙
You are one of the best Storyteller's on youtube. I love you're content do what you enjoy most if thats something else then do it!!!.Don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise you do you brother ❤ you're content is free alot of people would charge a fee for what you do thats proof you love your community and we love you back for just for that.
You're such a G! I respected you before, but I respect you even more for posting this. Love, brother. ❤
Hey man, don't beat yourself up. This is a common issue among many UA-camrs. I can relate in some ways, as a musician. It's really hard when something is your hobby, and you have one video do far better than everything else, and then that becomes the new baseline. It also gets you to start focusing on the wrong thing, the popularity. The reason you get popular in the first place is because you were being you and focusing on the fun, and just doing your thing. Once you get popular, you start trying to chase that and it's easy to forget what got you there in the first place. You start looking for some formula for success, when in reality you had it all along. It's nice to hear you say you're ready for failure. It's a really hard hurdle to get over, but it's necessary for your mental health and success in general. Any successful self-made person will tell you failure is what got them there. Failure is a good thing, Yin needs Yang.
Also just wanted to say, your 300 movie is only 10 months old, and I've watched it twice. I've never watched a video that long multiple times, even years later. You're a very talented story-teller. But don't burn yourself out with PZ if you're not enjoying it as much anymore, do the other things you want to do. Sure, they won't be nearly as popular at first, but over time people will start to come here for YOU, not the game. Looking forward to whatever else you do man, take whatever time you need. Peace.
Hey man, really good thoughts IMO!
To have the capacity to have love for oneself is an insamely underrated and hard step!
Keep it up man! I have missed your videos! The good and the bad, we just enjoy seeing you try.
Just subscribed! I saw your PZ 300 Days Movie and was super interested in your other content! I've just recently gotten into the community and while I do hope you make more PZ content, I'm planning to be in this for the long run, no matter what kind of content you make.
So, cheers mate! I hope your mental health is at least a little better.
Ty for your honesty. Really looking forward to your future work. Much love from Norway.
I love your content and you seem like a good guy as well. Failures happen. I'm an old man and I'm fully aware that failure is a part of life. Just keep moving forward.
Having said that, I've not seen anything from you that wasn't a great video. Keep it up. I loved the 300 days zomboid video. I've probably watched it 50 times, no joke.
Love this my guy, I think I needed to hear this too! You just do you that’s what made your video successful not the UA-cam lottery. I did find the Chanel from the project zombiod but that then lead me to binge watch all of your no suit survival series and you’ve been great since the beginning.
I totally feel how you feel, I hope I can achieve the same goal one day and become happier with myself but your content is great man, Hell I'm enjoying your SkyJack series now and can't wait to watch your Zero Suit series next
Do whatever your able to do and good luck, I'm know I'm not the only person rooting for you
Do whatever you feel is right! I’ve watched your zomboid videos while trying to fall asleep but I kept backtracking until i’ve finished the whole thing and I will do it again. You’ll be alright man!!
I love this video and I'm going to continue to watch and support you no matter how many times you "fail" I'll be here watching and supporting. ❤️
Hey man, appreciate you sharing and opening up. Found your vids and instantly knew you made great content that you clearly care about. Wish you the best on your journey and looking forward to whatever comes next.
I joined in on about NSS episode 5 or something. I continued watching because you looked like you were enjoying the game yourself, which made it really fun to watch too. Don't force yourself to do anything you don't enjoy. Just be yourself and do what you want. :)
I subscribed because I liked the music gameplay. It was and is awesome.
Do what you feel comfortable doing! No one is perfect and that's okay! Ive been here a long time and ill watch anyway
I watched NSS for the builds. Your bases, and the way you lit them, were awesome. If you want to create for people, but don't fance doing a video, perhaps consider throwing stuff onto the Steam Workshop.
Best advise I ever got was from my twin brother. His words were...."If you dont like me, Get the f***k out of the truck!!! Why he said it I don't even remember but the point was you can't please everybody. For me, You have some of the funniest down to earth content that makes my days better when i watch your videos. I have watched your project zomboid videos more than i care to admidt. Do what makes u happy and anybody who don't like it. Can get the F***k out the truck!!
Thank you for posting this man.
Great video man, came at a perfect time for me. You seem like a genuine dude and some (but few) people may not like you simply for that but like you said it doesn't matter, keep being you dude
Your storytelling is top-notch, man, and looking forward to new content
Really happy to see you realising this. We support you and love your content no matter what!
Excited to see what you do next
Can’t wait to see what you do next!
From a random dude on the internet, stay strong and go with your gut, and what you think is right for you 😁
We're all only human, we all have our ups and downs and things we excel and dont excel at. Find what works for you and what you enjoy and the rest will follow ❤
I love you videos, and i have checked back a couple of times this past few months to check to see if there was anything new. but I am so excited to hopefully see more videos from you, particularly now that you are doing it out of want and no obligations to your fans/family/etc.
Hey! I've loved watching your videos since finding your channel a few months ago!😊You're awesome, and I look forward to whatever you do next! ❤
Good on you mate. Love yourself, we'll be along for the ride.
Looking forward to more content and growth from them.
ADVICE-NEVER BE STOP TO CONTINUE A PROJECT THATS GOING WELL JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL THAT IT WONT BE RECEIVED AS WELL AS THE LAST PART BECAUSE IT WILL STILL APPEAL TO PEOPLE(not always as much)FOR THE SAME REASONS THE LAST TIME DID
AS WELL AS ÎN MOVIES THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS BETTER BUT EVERYBODY APRECIATES A GOOD SERIES IF THE MAKERS DONT LOSE INTEREST!!
KEEP MILKING THE COW THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO ÎS JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER PROJECT SUCCES DOSENT COME ON A RGULAR BASIS IT IS A PROCESS OF TRIAL AND ERROR
THIS SERIES UP TO 300 days WAS A BANGER AND YOU SHOULD HAVE BEAT THE IRON WHEN IT WAS HOT SINCE YOU WOULD GET LOTS OF VIEWS UNTIL YOU MOVE ON IF YOU SAW THAT THE SAME APPROACH DIDNT MAKE THE VIWERS STANDARDS
PLEASE CONTINUE I AM GLAD YOU ARE READY TO CONTINUE THE STORY AGAIN AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY THINK YOU DESERVE EVERY VIEW DONT BE S-O HARSH ON YOURSELF💪🔥🔥🙏❤
well i reckon allot of us here are gonna be on this journey with you and see and experience what you wanna do and enjoy it along the way, love your vids always will
I am a newer viewer but I love what you did here. Love you as a human being my guy and genuinely I am so happy for you to be able to come out and make this video to address how you feel currently and going forward and I think more people should do this. Wish nothing but love and growth for you virtually and physically my friend have a good night!
Love your content and you as a youtuber, thats why i subscribed! Be yourself at all times
Oh man, okay, to start with, you're the main reason why I even made a channel. Like me, I'm sure a lot of others felt inspired by what you did. Your journey on PZ was amazing. And if your next video doesn't do well, it's fine too; your subs will be here supporting you in the end.
And it's fine to fail. It doesn't mean it's not going to hurt, but just keep on going. Heck, my latest video flopped like a fish on dry land after seeing good growth, and that hurt so much. But, we like you, Madmavn! And that's who you need to focus on, even if some people don't. Focus on the people who do like you, and try not to think too much (I know it's hard) about the ones who don't. You can't make everyone happy.
I hope to see you soon, whatever game you're thinking of playing next.❤
I hope you do what makes you happy❤ idc if I hate it but ima like the videos and watch the whole thing, because its the only way I can afford to support your content rn! As long as its you being you, you will be great in my book!
This is a really good message, dude
Ive been subscribed waiting forr 400 days
Hey Mavn! Been awhile since I checked up on you. I remember the first time you made a video like this, and it hit me hard that you were suffering the same things I was. I loved NSS, left before your 100 days series. But what really impacted me was your other (presumably privated/deleted) video like this one. If you continue ANYTHING on this channel, keep up these mental health/check in videos. I'd much rather know you're doing well and having fun with this channel than to only see "that persona" as you called it.
I really hope you can find what works and what you need Mavn, good luck, there's always going to be those rooting for YOU, not for your next video.
Thank you
Means alot to hear
Helps more than you know
Best of luck
Glad you’re back man, missed your content
I may have just got here but goddamn is this relatable
I'm really proud of you and relate to this wholeheartedly. We're here to support you for you and if others don't like it, that's their own problem and not at all on you
You never failed though, as long as even 1 person enjoyed your content, you were successful in changing someone’s entire day for the better! I watched your PZ300 days movie and I was having a bad day so far, I binged the entire thing and I was ecstatic the rest of the day! It was also the first time I sat down and watched some random person’s hours long video, I’m glad I did!
there is that voice again the voice i love to listen to
Props to you man for getting it off you’re chest don't ever be afraid to expand and grow and to be yourself. Don't let fear stop you from doing the things you wanna do. I know it's hard for people to have different opinions about you but that's all they are words. Just keep doing what you’re doing and I look forward to see what comes next on this channel! 😁👍
Have enjoyed all your content mate, the SE stuff and your PZ stuff was one of the main reasons I started playing.
Every video may not be a hit, but do what you enjoy and put it out there. Those who resonate with and appreciate it will be here for the ride :)
Here since the beginning just happy if you are doing something that makes you happy, loved NSS and we like you for doing your thing,
Hey Mavn, try not to worry about popularity, youtube is fickle, people will come and go, you got a a couple videos that did far better than you expected, don't let them define your content. Do what you want, your core audience will stay with you. If you follow trends you will go down the "New Coke" route and lose the people who like you for you. focus on the games you enjoy, in the format you enjoy, whether it is "successful" or not shouldnt be a factor in your decisions. Your core fans like watching your stuff because we enjoy you and your ideas.
I hope you feel better mentally, we have missed your videos.
I've heard a lot of UA-camrs say this, please if you read this, failure is okay its how you build and grow, if you don't have a flop of a video how do you know that you need to do better than it, look at constructive criticism learn from it, don't let it get you down, if you need someone talk to I can insure there are plenty of people out there who are willing to talk to you about this, including me and idek you, please take care of yourself, no one needs to like you as long as you are happy with yourself and your creations you will never need that validation from others, as some guy said that I thought was beautiful. don't spend your time trying to catch butterflies, create a beautiful garden and butterflies will come to you in time, and if they don't at least you still have that beautiful garden
Stay strong my guy ❤❤
Man, I'm happy to see you somewhat happy and healthy. Stupid to be worried about some youtuber I guess, but I admit I was kinda worried.
Follow your goals and dreams since if you're happy, you'll easily infect others in your life being happy for you. Either if close friends or us random people.
Stay healthy and happy everyone!
MadMavn, the very best advice I've ever heard is: You Be YOU! That's it, just allow yourself to be YOU. If you want to play Space Engineers and give helpful hints, laughing at yourself for doing the opposite of a "no brainer", of just buildin' and chillin', that would be fine. If you want to play PONG and giggle yourself silly, DO IT! If you think playing Project Zomboid sounds great to YOU, then do it! YOU BE YOU! Do your own thang! Just have fun with it. You've already "ARRIVED". People know who you are, so you HAVE your audience. Now go and create something, young man! We'll be here watching when you post it. We may not "like" or "love" YOU, because we don't really KNOW you. But your content is some of the very best out there, and we (your audience) are here to stay. Love your channel!!!
I needed this, thank you like I really did. I'm releasing my own video soon, & haha I'm going to reference this man appreciate it, My situation is a bit similar but obviously different in ways. This resonated with me thumbnail & all because I was planning on making a video like this & putting a thumbnail even quite similar.
Honestly I'm just glad to see you're alive
Much love, dude
One thing I've always kept in the back of my head is that "Those who have achieved success didn't quit when they failed." Meaning failure in anything you strive for is inevitable, it's up to you to either give up and try something else, or learn from your failure and try again. Failure is ok. Failure is natural. It is how we grow as humans and learn the things that don't work so we can discover what does work.
If you spend your time worrying about what others think of you instead of spending your time on thinking about what you think of yourself, you're not going to have a good time. No one's opinion about you matters more than what your opinion of yourself does. Who cares what others think, if you're not someone's cup of tea, then you're not someone's cup of tea. It is what it is. You got this, Mavn. You're doing well. Thank you for the content you create and I look forward to more of your content.
My man, relax a little, take your time, but if it helps I would like to give my two cents of opinion here:
Yeah, you got lucky with those Project Zomboid videos, but that doesn't mean you have to hold the bar at that level, just be glad for the algorithm and keep going with what you had, it clearly works out if did that time.
Secondly, don't worry so much about what will happen next because everything that does will only be a result of you acting, but if you don't do anything, then nothing will happen as a result of your inaction.
What I'm trying to say is, just keep doing what you want and see where that leads you, don't worry so much about what would happen, because you can't know for sure and that will only serve to keep you from doing what you want to do.
Best of luck
please remember that we support you no matter what you upload!!!
Just found your 300 day video and I just gotta ask - what happened at the Military Base?! Seriously though, you def have talent and I hope to see more from you in the future!
Man, you make amazing content. We all love you, and your community is a very close one. But we still need 400 days for your pz series.
Bro you are so loved. You can only get 20 views and still be a winner. Keep going man, keep your head up. Focus on your personal mental health and when you are ready you know we are here. Your content is great. We can’t wait to see you back here.
I'm just glad you're okay, man. Was starting to think the worst. Do whatever YOU wanna do. Be yourself brother. I assure you a lot of people will support whatever content you want to do going forward.
I'm glad you made this video. I have missed your content and was worried something happened to you. Hope you are able to move forward making more great content.
Keep going bro. You rock.
We all have that constant desire for people to like us. As a 53 year old, retired Army Sgt; trust me... some will, some won't... so what, move on. I've been here since NSS Ep 1 (on a different account because I was still in the Army at the time). I would love to see NSS come back for a season 3, but whatever you decide to do, just do it... Kind of like Nike, brother. Just do you. Shalom
You do you, friend. Be strong, have fun, take care of yourself.
A very healthy outlook and I'm glad you're taking this self-awareness introspection journey. Self-acceptance is and should be first and foremost. Once you realize that true happiness comes from within and never something dependent upon other people to provide, true wisdom is within reach. Only you have the power to control how you feel, how you respond to the world and what you want to make of it for yourself, to live in harmony with your own values.
If you're interested in psychology topics at all, I encourage you to look up the INFP personality type. I think you might find something interesting there.
Most people will likely agree, your content when you started was simple, elegant and easy to follow. these first episode's of space engineers really was the definition of making videos for fun, not as a job or to appease the audience.
We the viewers just want to watch you enjoy the games you wish to play. Remember this, you are the content not the game or progress. If your happy making videos and playing, so are we
Hey bro, It’s ya boi Nick. Your videos are of great quality. I haven’t seen all of them, but your talent is clear. Obviously, you should do what you feel is prudent for your channel, as well as what might bring you success; that said, I have a few thoughts.
1. Most importantly, do what sparks passion and brings you joy. This is not only important for your own happiness, but also the quality of the video. Mix it up, go crazy, be as genuine as you can. People will flock to you like a guiding star.
2. Prioritize community over raw views. Certainly views bring the cash, which might be the ultimate goal for most. This video has a crazy amount of comments proportionally. Your community cares about you and further videos.
3. Establish some form of consistency in uploads. The actual length between uploads seems to matter less than the actual consistency of said uploads. JonTron uploads like once a year and people are fine with it because they have become accustomed to it.
I hope that none of this seems patronizing in any way, these are simply some of my thoughts as a MadMavn Fan. Thanks!
