56:43 - Hi, Tango's thumbnail person here XD
What all you hermits need to do is 👏learn 👏to 👏 ask 👏for 👏 help 👏! Tango is very, VERY, independent. I still to this day wonder how I managed to eek a little slice away from him to let him focus on other things. And my little slice, the logos themselves are done by Lomaxmom because she's a genius on them.
I think it's so sweet that so many people *here* are saying the thumbnails do not matter. They do. I just did a spreadsheet (Which Skizz's numbers completely broke until I had to outlier him) comparing secondary channels. Tango is up 70% from last year, and the average for UA-cam is 4%. (Imp's was up 47%, Skizz's 172%, average for the hermits second channel growth was 65%) The thumbnails target people who are not regulars, who only dip their toes in, and who wont comment on a video 99% of the time. Thumbnails are bait. They go, "Here viewer, viewer, viewer!" and the content is the hook. (And I've noticed that most of the hermits are doing the same formula for thumbs. And while it's simple and classy, its not making anyone stand out. I could have a for you page full of hermits, but on thumbs alone, could not recognize one.)
Simple rule for my thumbs; Hats always win. Very expression is next. I try to catch the vibe or a really funny scene, but who you put in the thumbnails does help. When Imp asked Skizz if he got better views with Scar in the thumb? Yeah, I've noticed it, too. I call it the "Etho Effect" XD.
For the seasons, I like to color code Tango's channel. It's easy to know "Orange = Plate Up!", and just scan for orange. Red was Season 9. This season I gave Tango a few options for colors and styles, and he picked the bright neon which I think has helped a ton.
TL;DR Really; let your friends help. We also have skills you can use XD (Right, Mosel?)
(Also, I'm in the DERP Mod channel if you two have any questions or want to see the spreadsheets 💚)
As a fellow person who helps Hermits whenever he can, I second this. I know almost all of the Hermits have had to learn through necessity how to do literally everything themselves. Many UA-camrs have gone through this transition of realizing there's only so many hours in a day, and how much better would it be if they could focus on doing what it is they love to do, and delegate the rest to people who's passion is the thing you're delegating to them!
I don't have fancy datasheets to back up this claim, so obviously take this with a grain of salt... however, while delegation can be expensive up front, it's well within the scope of reason to assume you'd at least break even, due to having more time to create content.
But I get it. Having attempted the UA-cam game myself, I know that I would be reluctant to let go of some creative control over things... I'd also be fearful that people might judge me, as if I'm breaking the "whole point of UA-cam"... if the whole point of UA-cam is to overwhelm and break creative people through burn out... then maybe we need to rethink what we believe UA-cam even is.
@@familycraftdad Dude, right?? Like learning how much goes on, I am so intimidated to even try to get a YT channel together! I'll just stick to my tiny fan arts XD
You should at least give it a go! You might love it :) @@JenesisDark
You're clearly good at your job! I'm one of the people who've been watching Tango's second channel a lot more lately, and the thumbnails are great at catching my attention.
@@PrimroseDying - ... somehow there are ninjas cutting onions in my house. I feel like you're responsible.
Thank you ♥
These conversations are SO valuable and nowhere near enough people are having them. Look forward to these every week just to take in conversations like this on a professional level.
Yes! I love how this podcast delves into all sorts of topics and actually investigates them and uses real life stories to add to them. The episodes are always so insightful and they actually feel _real._
The podcast became a weekend necessity for me I must say
They always talk about interesting things and with a lot of insight.
I really like how Iskall does it nowadays, he will just post his main episode, but afterwards he will also upload "behind the scenes clips". That's one way how you could still use all those other clips you haven't used for your main episode.
The backend of content creation is such an iceberg that people don't talk about enough, love having a peak behind the curtain
The beach analogy is good, but I think there's a horse analogy that fits even better. Some people are draft horses ("work horses") and others are race horses. Draft horses put their heads down and do the work for as long as the work needs doing, never stopping. Race horses run hot and fast and then take time off to recuperate before racing again. Neither is designed to do the other's work, and if they tried, they'd ruin their health. Both types are important in the world. Impulse is a draft horse; Skizz is a race horse. I'm a draft horse, and as Imp says, it's important to set time limits, or we'd work all day and night. For Skizz, it's important to have more freedom to run, but then he needs to care for himself with a break before doing it again. If you try to fight the way your mind and body works, it doesn't go well, so recognizing your style and working with it will keep you healthier and happier.
Thank you for this analogy! I'm definitely a race horse, I get things done in short bursts as I get tired or bored if I try to slog onward for too long. I think it's important for people to do the self analysis about this stuff, it can really help with your perspective and planning how to deal with work.
It's good to hear Skizz again, there's a void on HC (not Xisuma!!) since he's been gone.
I think thumbnails are only for the people who aren't subscribed. If I see one of you (or other Hermits I'm subbed to) I will watch it and barely take any notice of the thumbnail or title. Some thumbnails do stick out but usually for a bad reason. I mentioned it a few times to impulse and he changed his thumbnail style, he actually took my advise and I feel honoured.
I'm really missing Skizz. Thank you for the skizz fix
Im the same I love skizz vids. But I hope he is enjoying his holiday.
@xanderP1989 he's back now! He did a twitch stream last night showing us some of his holiday pics. If you have twitch, you can get a replay.
@@bravehearticus yeah I always seem to miss their streams as I’m Australian
the 2 saddest things on a Friday, when the podcase ends, and my coffee cup is empty. Thank you for all that both of you do!!
This podcast applies to all small business owners. I've run my business since 2012, and it's crazy how many hats you have to wear. Mine is vintage collectibles, so I have to do inventory, customer service, packing and shipping, supplies ordering, marketing, event management and promotion, building maintenance, bookkeeping... I haven't taken a full day off since 2015, let alone vacations. When your hobby becomes your business, either you love it and dive in, or you burn out and begin to hate your hobby. Luckily, I'm the former. The best thing I ever did was to hire a CPA to do the taxes!
Hey Imp and Skizz, I wanted to thank you guys for making this podcast. It is honest, genuine, and inspiring. A YT channel hasn’t meant so much to me in a long time. You two have inspired me to go to the gym for the first time in over a year, and I had the courage to step out of my comfort zone at work. Thank you for making me want to be a better me. I’m looking forward to growing along side you two for years and years of podcasting to come 💛💙
As a tax accountant, I’ve always been curious how taxes work for content creators. That seems so stressful for Impulse who isn’t as familiar with taxes as a CPA is. Respect for explaining it well. I found the topics in this podcast very interesting.
This was my thoughts as well as a fellow accountant. Him talking about setting up an LLC makes me curious how many if the Hermitcraft peeps are set up like that. Also brings in my curiosity of what all goes into the P&Ls for them but sure that wouldn't be something they'd want to discuss.
7:52 for Impulse doing the weird eye thing 😂
It seriously caught me off guard 😆
I nearly snorted out my drink here! 😂
I never have seen anything like that. Conversations around me do often get diverted to eye tricks, because I have voluntary nystagmus (I can shake my eyes) and I've met several other people with odd eye tricks, but never that.
Jump scare for me 😂
@@discotheunicorn447 My older sister does something similar with both her eyes. We jokingly call it Chameleon Eyes.
I found this episode extremely valuable for myself as a smaller creator. I always appreciate the amount of insight you guys impart and I try to apply it to my own channel as I grow and learn how to better manage my content and time :)
Thanks again for another great episode :) this series has been an enormous help!
i love ur videos
Impulse, we don't love you for your content, we love you for your personality. It's okay for you to change things in your videos, editing, and recording so you can find something you're comfortable with. Don't stress yourself. We'll be patient until you can find your legs, and we will be supportive through every minute of it. We'll give you the feedback you need, and we will love your content because you're being YOU, and that's what we like.
Also, I'm very sorry that you have so much anxiety, especially about letting people down. I don't think you are, and I doubt your friends do either.
There's so much more I could say (All good things) but if I did, this would be a literal novel. Have a good day Impulse and Skizz. You both are great and amazing and are letting nobody down.
I will only feel disappointed if Impulse leaves us, and even then it would be more of a sad disappointment.
Impulse I feel like your vids have become HIGHER quality this season, definitely not lesser quality
Yes! I was sad to hear they're taking a toll on him. I really liked his videos last season but they did feel a bit engineered whereas this season they feel more relaxed and personal. I hope imp finds a way to finesse the behind the scenes editing/recording to make it work better for him
I agree
You two are absolute gold. I cannot explain to you how much your work on YT and the podcast have meant to me. There has been a lot of personal growth for me motivated by the amazing people you are. That pure understanding you have with each other helped me realize the value of being open and vulnerable with those in your life. It helped me purge relationships that I wasn't committed to, made me a better friend, daughter and wife. I cannot thank you enough❤
So many new pieces of info for me. I did not realise Skizz and Imp lived within walking distance of each other. I loved hearing about the differences between the days as well. Skizz’s wave/beach analogy works both ways for them.
Thank you for all you two do! You guys really bring a smile in rough times :D
33:33 To get around going over the buffer limit, I keybound one key that will keep the buffer and start recording and I use it all the time! I still have the other keybinds if I want to only save the buffer or only record, but OBS lets you bind multiple different keys independently.
I started using the replay buffer after hearing you guys talk about it, and it’s awesome! Thank you so much for mentioning it!
As someone who was introduced to everyone during secret life, im having a ball 😂 i appreciate that everyone has their own schedule and styles. Im currently watching 17 hermits and trying to add another 2. Ive started going into the office again and i adore listening to you all during my commute and as something to help block out office chatter at work ❤ You're all doing fantastic!
I don’t care about thumbnails at all, personally. I follow who I like to watch and just watch them when their videos come up. But I might be unusual. I generally like secondary channels for the more relaxed vibes. I also dislike a relenting stream of talking spliced too tightly together, and usually second day channels don’t have that as much. In general, just like what you two are doing. And love all the hermits! 🫶🏻
Agreed!! Loyal subbers and supporters are not attracted to the thumbnails at all. My body gets excited/energetic when I see people I follow posting a new video just like these two! Thumbnails shall be extinguished imo.
Ya im generally reading titles first especially cuz thumbnails can be misleading even if unintentionally when there's a collab and you see one avatar in the thumbnail but its actually a different creators video
1:02:00 ish where you are talking about these small tasks that you think "whyhaven't I done it" my manager gave me the most solid advice about these, because I was always guilty of coming to catch ups and saying "oh I just need to do this won't take long", and not getting it done by the next one. One small Acronym. J(F)DI. Just (F***ing) Do it. Things like firing off an email, or changing a setting, or anything like that. It's something small that isn't going to interrupt your work flow, just do it while you're thinking on it. Because you're going to spend more time coming back to it and thinking about it, and talking about the fact you haven't done it, to the point it would have been quicker to just do it. Pop that acronym or saying somewhere near your computer and notice it every time you delay something that could be done.
It's small and it was just the kick I needed. Now, if I realise I need to send an email, i just go do it. Or I need to put in a request, I go do it.
No matter how much I listen to content creators talking about hardships of content creation, I still have this thought at the back of my head - I could do that lol
Thanks for a great podcast!
I just realised that as a regular viewer who is pretty committed to watching you guys, the hermits and a few others that it doesn't matter to me what or how you do your videos I just want you guys to be proud of what you've made and to be comfortable and happy creating. But for you the worry of losing views and subs and trying to keep UA-cam as a whole engaged with your art must take a toll a bit. TL DR. Basically I like you guys and as long as you're proud of what you've made please don't worry too much, the committed viewers, like me, won't leave. XD
Any business you run yourself is 10% fun and 90% backend drudgery. And tax time sucks(July-Oct in Australia ) but a necessary suckiness. Time wasters are the worst!!!!
Iskall has a great outlook on how he is avoiding the burnout
I hope your dreams of full time content creator come to fruition Skizz!
So much if what you are discussing is valuable to anyone who works from home as well. You need to set boundaries, you need to work on priorities, you need to push through the "i want to's" and the "i need to's"
So good to listen to all of this
Jump scare with the eye thing 😂 Nice job impulse
The way I approach work is similar to Skizz thanks to ADHD. There are days when I'm hyperfocused, it feels like nothing but the project I'm working on matters, and I'm hesitant to pull myself away unless I absolutely need to because I know tomorrow I could be too spacey to be productive no matter how hard I try. I've found some balance by getting all my manual chores done on spaced out days: it doesn't take any brain power to clean the bathroom, and by doing it on a spacey day I can invest more time into my projects on focused days. So I think there's a way to make the imbalance work, but you need to think about what you can be doing on 'off' days to set yourself up for success on 'productive' days.
You guys are such an inspiration. I cant tell you how close both of you have been to me over these last few years. Rough times, and naked and scared, and all your other content got me through. Im on your team skizz, you got me into minecraft again like you wouldn't believe. I love you guys, thanks for being yourselves.
I miss Skizz so bad and these have really helped to get a little fix before he returns. Thank you!
Actually look forward to this every week! It's not a Friday without it. I really appreciate the glance behind the curtain with how you both handle your content things. I'm only small-time with it but HOLY HECK it totally isn't just sitting down to play a game. There's so much more to it.
At 18:30 ... Skizz doing a pretty good explain of ADHD brain and how it works!
i really really really wish to get a vid without any cut or whatsoever 😅 just to see how everything actually goes - pure, true, uncut raw footage from the hermits 🤗
I have come to really look forward to these podcasts every time. There’s just something about your dynamic as longtime friends that’s so refreshing and genuinely enjoyable to see play out. Oftentimes I’ll find myself relating to either one of you in some way with these, and the advice you’ve given has really imprinted on me (guess where I learned what imprinting actually was). Never stop being yourselves, I love every second of what both of you put out, whether it be life/skyblock/hermitcraft/n&s/hermitcraft/whatever.
Planning around being creative is a REALLY challenging process. Especially for those of us who require being motivated by inspiration!
What draws me in is not the thumbnail itself but what other hermits are with you in it.
Impulse, I'm really enjoying your videos. The relaxed style suits you. You are coming across happier. Tweak if you need to, but keep the vibe.
Great episode. I had a creative project that eventually morphed into a 2nd job I did not get paid for. I had to step away to keep my sanity/family life.
I have been so excited for an episode like this! You guys have inspired my own content creation journey!
The first episode of this podcast that I watched was when you guys put out the interview for Mumbo. I then watched the two you did for Scar, and ever since I've been listening every morning or every other morning at work going from episode 1. Today, I am finally caught up with the podcast, and I can say it has made a lasting difference. While I haven't been able to upload any more than 1 video due to situations in life, I did finally start my UA-cam channel, and have plans to continue. I hope that one day in the future, I'll get to do a video with you, and it has been a dream of mine to someday join hermitcraft, as unrealistic as that seems today
I look up to you guys, and thank you
(I haven't watched this one yet, I just wanted to post this for you guys to see early so it may get seen)
I love to hear you guys talking about content creation. 😊
Impulse, your editing is phenomenal! Don’t ever doubt yourself! We love your videos and your editing style! In fact, your current editing style is the best style you have ever used! Skizz, your videos are phenomenal too!
As a (much) smaller content creator, this podcast helps a lot!
I’m a Spotify listener to the podcast but have come here specifically to tell you Skizz, that I will always watch your Hermitcraft episodes over others! Love both your work! Love the open conversation around this. Keep up the good work fellas!
I was listening to an older episode while grocery shopping and you guys made me laugh out loud like a crazy person so thanks for that 🤪
I have been hoping you do an episode like this! You have inspired my own journey into content creation!
Impulse and Skizz are my top two hermits!! I watch your videos as soon as I see they’re available!
I’m know I am late to the party, but I love listening to you guys talk! You guys are so real and honest and this podcast always makes me smile.
Just checked noon in uk and 5am where you are. Great podcast.
Loved this! As a regular, thumbnails and titles don't worry me too much because I'm going to watch the video regardless, but it's so important to reel in new people because we really do judge a book by it's cover.
I would love to see you do a part 2 of this, thank you for making this episode!
It was insanely helpful to hear something as simple as your editing process, like using the replay buffer and even just the mention of editing on x2 speed. Editing is a big struggle and it was great to be reminded there's plenty of ways to help the process along.
Simple questions like "how do you know what software settings are best?" Or "What kind of computer does it take to run everything you need?" (Cause computers are confusing) Or "What are good extra things (like goxlr) to get and use?" Or just tips and tricks in general would go so far in helping not only me but I'm certain many others, thanks again!
Thank you SO much for this episode! I know you both just skimmed the surface of what you do as content creators, but it opened my eyes to that world! I’ve thought about joining that space, but have very little knowledge. And now I know that content creation is not for me. I will enjoy watching what you both do! Thank you so much!!
Love to hear funny behind the scene moments from hermit meetings. And some more work stories. Always love to hear Imp and Skizz lore.
My weekly dose of motivation to keep making videos! Thanks guys
hearing all the stories from your guys lives has helped me so much, learning from mistakes and experiences I think is a big part of life but to learn from others mistakes and experiences is an even better quality to have and just hearing from you guys that even as (old) as you are you guys are still learning every day how to be better and that has been a big eye opener to me on my view of messing up and that i’m gonna improve every day even in my later years I can make mistakes and i’m gonna continue to learn and grow as a person and although you guys haven’t directly said this it’s somehting i’ve learned from listening to you guys so thank you for all your help and great advice, I love your podcast and your hermitcraft episodes, keep up the great work! :D
When Skizz talks about scrapping work that's basically done: I felt that to my core. I can't even begin to count how many times I've done that.
I don't know if it's the same, but I think for me a big reason is because I get tired of analyzing a video of myself, trying to pick out the "best parts" and figure out how to put them together.
But then I've started playing a game with two of my favourite people recently; and while I'm slow to make progress, I don't find myself getting tired of it when I have to pull it up again to edit more. I think there's something just inherently more enjoyable about capturing "human moments", and those come so much more frequently and naturally when you're with the people you love.
Maybe you’ve done this before but I’d find a time-lapse of your content creation day would be very interesting to watch. Been a casual player for years and always wonder how long your projects take as well as all the editing time you spend. I know it would require another camera/pc/vid setup - but just like a second MC account to capture your big build time lapses….be cool to get the “fly on the wall” perspective from a day (or few) from your studio….
@skizz, newer creator here so take this as you will. when you commented on uploading your emote taking 5 seconds, but you already started streaming so it’s “too late”
Might I suggest, just do it! People come to watch you, and hang out with you. A streamer I watch fairly religiously (shoutout to Luxthos). I lurked in his channel when he was literally setting up merch and including us in some of the “what it’s like to do content for a living”
I don’t think it’s unprofessional or bad necessarily to simply fix stuff on the fly on stream when you remember to do it. I mean I wouldn’t suggest trying to swap out something technical that could end badly of course, but something as simple as uploading and emote to twitch and giving massive props to your artist can be a really cool interaction with your followers.
PS as I also work full time and sometimes have long jaunts between clips, I’m totally taking a mental note of rewatching the previous clip for continuity of the recording! Gonna be a lifesaver I think for when I get around to edit!
Thank you two for doing this and giving us a chance to peek behind the curtain of what you all do and the simple little life lessons we also pick up along the way!
And I will say that your what’s stopping you episode is really what pushed me outside my comfort zone to just start on this platform, and I have to say I’m loving it! Even the videos that take a week to get like no views, I’m having a blast enjoying the process.
❤
PPS sorry for the book of a comment 😂
Question: what is it like coordinating with sponsors? Is it all email? Phone calls? Do they just DM you? How does that work? And how do you decide which sponsors are ones you want to work with vs passing on?
Best treat after giving my nerve racking senior project exhibition
These podcasts always make my Fridays better!
I just love that you guys are so musical, makes me heart happy
when you guys first started talking about the replay buffer, my initial reaction was: the numbers you guys are talking about seem waaay too low. Keeping 15 minutes of context isn't going to hurt anything, and is exactly as easy to edit out.
Also: for longer videos, I'm certain you can set up a hotkey to place a marker in the video. I don't know if your recording software supports it, but something like: press a button to bring up one frame of "remember this moment", then get your editing software to find those frames. I don't know the specifics, but I'd be shocked if this doesn't already exist in some form.
there is an OBS plugin that lets you set markers for your recordings. it's a mix between what you do. you can still record your whole VOD, but when a great moment happens you can hit a macro key to set the marker, which then writes the time stamp into a text file.
I absolutely love this podcast. Thank you two for doing it!!
Hey, guys love this subject. I started my own channel thanks to you guys, and these types of podcasts really help!
Thank god now I can start my Friday morning properly, love you guys!!
Thank you for another great podcast! I agree with other comments that more creators NEED to talk about this!! From my experience, many people simply cannot grasp how DIFFICULT it is to record, edit, render/publish a YT video [within a specified timeframe]. People think all the curated stuff is so easy to do... no no no sir!
You guys are the best help for ppl I’ve seen here … very thankful for your thoughts ❤
i love how open you guys are about the content creation process
You guys never fail to disappoint. Always looking for advice in Content Creation as I am just now starting out. Thanks for all you guys do.
😉 Advice? 🤔 Hmm…well, here’s one: remember memes are a thing, syntax errors and out-of-context clips drive them. “fail to disappoint” means disappointing, and we do know what you meant, but meme-ers don’t care.🤷♀️
I just wanted to let Skizz know that if you still feel imposterish. The whole community feels the difference that you're gone. Even the hermits miss you. You fit in in such a special way that it feels like you should've always been there. Nobody cares about your building skills. We just want you to be there doing what we'd be doing.
Ps I still hope you're having a great vacation but we miss you lol
This podcast is really cool been enjoying it alot lately. Watched the hot ones type episodes yesterday and man you guys are so wholesome keep it up
❤ love you guys and love the podcast, thank you for the insight and I would definitely enjoy more in depth “day in the life” kind of vibe it’s very interesting
This one was definitely one of m favourites yet ✨
Just great, the dynamic between the two of you is as always amazing, and the content is so informative and helpful, keep doing what you do loving it so much
Always makes me happy to hear your wives are supporting you guys and you're supporting them right back. Best wishes to you both going forward as you balance your schedules and burnout, and even if we don't see one or both of you in the next Life series (if there is one), we'll miss you and thanks for playing in previous seasons. Also, thanks for sharing this podcast topic! 10/10, would fold laundry and eat ice cream to again.
As someone who wants to get into the content creation world the Imp and Skizz podcast as a whole is so fun and helpful for me cause I get to see what it actually takes to do it. And somehow the knowledge that it’s a lot of work is comforting because then at least I have more knowns as opposed to unknowns
Oh what? The podcast is going to be two this year? Thats amazing! Another great ep
every time i sort of just forget that this drops on friday and then i get the spotify notification first and it is just the best feeling ever (i do wait for the video, it is more fun to watch)
You guys are awesome, keep up the good work!
It's been great to see you more confident and relaxed this season, Impulse!
Every Friday I get excited because it's Podcast day! ❤
I feel like the feeling of "always haven't done enought" might be a fantastic topic for a future podcast!
Such a fascinating and valuable episode, thank you guys. I’m small fish compared to you two, but I felt every word when it comes to time management. I’ve had small tastes here and there of what a full-time content creator day feels like, and I just can’t wait to make that my life. Working towards it every day!
I won't lie, working in accounting, I perked RIGHT up at the tax discussion, haha. We've had a few content creators and they have very interesting tax preparation and bookkeeping requirements because of how many expenses, multi-currency revenue streams, and payment processing services have to be accounted for. I admit they're also one of the careers we butt heads with the most regarding what qualifies as a business expense and what has to be recorded lmao.
I find this for many small business owners though, which honestly content creation *should* be qualified as if you intend to make a living off of it. There are a lot of businesses that are built off passions! But every single one comes with a lot of responsibilities and organization (and accounting) that many people aren't prepared for or taught about, and it's exacerbated by it relying solely on your own motivation/structures. Regular businesses have a lot of structures and resources that we don't even realize when we work as normal employees, and that can be a nasty surprise for people entering the self-employed world.
Thanks for the insight! Very very interesting!
I love listening to content creators talk about this side of creating, it helps out a lot as person trying to create content, listening to much wiser people than I who have been around the block. I was wondering, what was family reaction to tell them you create content? Who did you guys end up telling first? Also what do friends outside of youtube think about it?
I legitimately always look forward to this podcast every friday!!! I can tell this one is gonna be awsome even though i havent finished it lol
I have a few ideas for podcast, i know yall have a list but ill just say them anyway
1. Confidence/Public speaking
2. Perseverance
3. Injury stories
4. Friendship
As a guy who made his videos crawling through the hills of New England in snow or high temps, and somewhere in between, I can more than appreciate this one.
Waking up at 5AM to spend a Saturday or Sunday fighting mosquitos, ticks, woods, elevation, and whatever to rescue colonial history is one of those deals where it is only work if you don't love what you're doing. Some days are much better than others. Smile through it all.
You get one ticket to ride this ride called life. Get back on the bull and keep going. You got this.
The point you made about just not getting to your favorite hermit YET is exactly what I was thinking. There's many hermits and I love so many of them
Great episode! Learning so much from you guys for content creation.
As someone who is trying to get into content creation I can totally relate to Skizzles take on the process. My husband always lets me know the dinner is ready 10 minutes before it is, because he knows if I am editing I cannot just leave it sitting there. BTW, I just found that out today when he commented on skizzles comment about his dinner getting cold 😂😂😂😂
My Fridays always get a little bit better when I see that imp and skizz logo pop up in my notifications:D
so happy for the podcast, been missing skizz’s face
Ok, 30 seconds Impy. Let's see the response! :D Appreciate the podcast guys. Boy, I don't envy Skizz heading back into work after this time off...especially with the prospects before him of life sustaining (financially) content creation.
even tho this isnt a hermit craft i was able to get my fill of skizz and i feel so refreshed. hes such a calming person
I keep considering dabbing into content creation, but I know how much work it is and I just don't have the energy when I come home from work. At least I really like my job, so I'll settle for watching lovely content like you guys.
I can’t wait to listen to this I was just talking about hoping to start streaming with one of my friends yesterday and this is similar to what we were talking about.
This was a really informative and helpful episode to listen great work thank you guys, i think i speak for everyone now when i say we would love to see Grian on here i imagine it will happen at some point when he's not busy but i just think Grian has just got such a big story to tell with how he comes up with all his ideas and how always keeps minecraft fun for himself and how (even though he probably won't admit it) he took hermitcraft to another level from the moment he joined in season 6, i also think theres so much we don't know about grian we just know what he's like on youtube, nothing personal we want to know about but just like how he started youtube and the directions and choices he decide to go with throughout his journey, would love to see it one day
Its always a good day when Imp and Skizz uploads! I wanna thank yall for being so inspiring to me, you have helped through a lot in my life and I appreciate you guys for it!
Question: How do yall go about trying to collaborate with other creators? I want to try but also not seem weird.
Wildly crazy… how you guys are becoming my fav hermits 🎉
Woooo episode time yayyyyy
