I would love to submit something for the MECHtropolis however I dont own any lego myself. Despite this thanks to your videos I have been messing around in Studio 2.0. Could I submit something thats entierly digital? I understand that the goal is using the parts you have but I dont have any 😓
Thanks for the question! I'm going to pin your comment because it's something I should have addressed in the video - digital builds are totally welcome in Mechtropolis! As long as you can render or screenshot your creation, programs like Studio are a great way to build and design submissions! 👍
Refreshing to see a less corpo take on monetization. And of course, extra, quality content is a bonus too. Your strategy's just so good you've won me over, and I'm about the biggest PowerMiners simp on the planet
Its nice to see that all of his videos have no skip sections when SponsorBlock extension is on. Thats becoming an ever increasing rarity on UA-cam. Plus, because his videos dont have in video sponsorships, it makes it less likely for the video to get outdated fairly quickly. Also, none of them will be muddied by bad sponsors that end up being revealed to be scams or predatory. The way he is doing thing is more akin to how original UA-cam functioned and I commend that.
@@eightcoins4401 That's where I lose points with Gen Z. 😅 Although if I'm completely honest, I like most of the Bionicles from 2004/05... just not the Toa Metru, haha.
This video makes me feel so much older, remembering when the first was announced and watching all of them, can’t believe a year has past. Thanks for making more amazing videos.
Really love your stance on ads, especially with youtube really cracking down on adblockers over the past 2 years. Can't wait for your summer (my winter)!
ITS SLUGGIN TIME It's crazy how long but also short its felt since the last summer of SLUG. Ive been a bit innactive on the discord server since December with finishing college, I'm excited to hopefully participate a bit more and once again enjoy the summer of slug with all the sluglings.
Thank you! I'm certainly supportive of artists being able to earn a living, but throughout most of the year, this *isn't* a living for me - just a hobby. 😊
My brain when I heard the mech idea: what if you had a stereotypical anime mech but it's like lightly modified so the giant sword has a bunch of seats on it and now it works as a bus.
I guess this marks the start of the brainstorming phase of the Mechtropolis challenge and possible PO box submissions... I still have the Star Mail sets I made.
I think all our bodies are ready, but the real question is if we are spiritually ready? The psychic damage might almost be as bad as getting a Toa Metru figure!
I think the community as a whole would love a membership option to help support you slug. Cheesybricks model comes to mind. Allowing members to access videos a few days early, etc. I believe you can set members benefits to whatever you’d like. Ranging from no benefits, to exclusive music, bts, whatever you would like. I all this to say, if you’d like more funding to peruse this hobby, the community stands behind you. Keep sluggn it OG. Can’t wait for more sog2025 uploads!!
I appreciate the support! I'll think about it, but I do enjoy the freedom I have throughout the year to truly call this a hobby, not a job. Once you start taking peoples money, it muddies the water somewhat...
I can't believe I missed this video! That's what I get for going on a trip :P. I missed out on Starmail last year, but I'm sure anyone who follows my stuff knows how much I love designing mechs, so there's no chance I'll miss this year's event. Now I just need to figure out what to create...
I missed out on Star Mail, but I promise to strive towards Mechtropolis this summer! My energy source will probably be a certain trans-neon-green part… either that or just plain old FIRE like with Timecruisers.
My goodness time flies. Literally the last Summer of Slug just ended I blinked and we are here again. Super stoked for this btw, just got caught up in a time gap. i saw this thumbnail and was convinced I got last year's video and then I'm like wait... but it's winter....isn't it? Wish you all the best Slugger and looking forward to all the delicious new content this Summer :)
if you are interested apparently there were two and only two official avatar the last airbender lego sets released in 2006 and seemingly never again. Could be interesting not so much to purchase being insanely expensive but to look into.
I'm of two minds: Generally, whoo-hoo! I am really happy to get to experience another Summer of Slug! The other mind, however, is concern. I remember the creative burn-out you suffered after the first Summer. I just hope that this Summer is better for you. Unfortunately, I'm not really in a place where I can support you (yet again), although things are getting better! Maybe the Summer of Slug 2025 will be my year! Really happy to hear that intro again, as well! It pops up in my head every now and then, so I'm terribly happy to hear it!
Plz plz plz more Galidor content ♡ love to see you watch the show, if you can get around copyright stuff like clutch powers, assuming that’s an issue. 😂 ♡ much love, slugger.
Haha, seeing as the show is all available freely on UA-cam, I don't think copyright stuff will be a problem. 😊 What might be a problem is me trying to find a way to make a video like that entertaining to watch..! 😅
Since we got the new City Space featuring astronauts researching new resources and energy sources, this could be a take on City _after_ that new discovery. We have all the crystal colors with (mostly) corresponding cylinder pieces to make all kinds of battery packs. Also Firefighter Mechs would just be Rescue ACE from YuGiOh, you can't convince me otherwise. (I thought of building FireMechs already)

@@klaklaplaplaleuszek9970 there's nothing sluggish about Slug.
my body is READY
And mine too
My body is slug
Mechtropolis sounds like another superb theme! I'm excited!
Haha its a name of a Machine Code album
A man has fallen into the nanite stream in Mechtroplolis!
HEY!
My son is sooo happy that the summer of slug is back. He can't stop singing it! PS I'm darn happy too!
Haha, I'm sorry for that little earworm of a jingle! 😅

But do you like Metru Nui era Bionicle?

@@RRSlugger You've certainly won me over on Rock Raiders. Not that it can compete for me but... I see the appeal
I can't believe it's already been a year, I'm so excited! and I am mortally terrified by the relentless passage of time.
As am I! 💀
You cannot prepare what has always been ready for the summer of slug! Take my body in an instant
The slummer of sug is back!
XD
I love the Summer of Slug Jingle, I can't wait for more videos and I hope this is successful for you this year!
WHHOAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! That's What I'm Talking About
Lightning McQueen reference?
Sands jumpscare...
Ahhhh, a wild Sands!
I am all oiled up and prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually for the summer of slug
Glad to hear your brother is healthy enough to sing again :)
He had a whole year to rest up! ❤️
I never even considered having another summer of slug. Wow! God speed sir!
This video makes me feel so much older, remembering when the first was announced and watching all of them, can’t believe a year has past. Thanks for making more amazing videos.
Literally the best UA-camr in the plataform
Thank you so much! ❤️
I used to shudder at being called a "UA-camr", but I guess that's what I am now. 😅
We need a 10 hour video endlessly playing "it's the summer of slug"
I forgot that you were the reason that I removed all midroll ads! It was a good choice
Hey, power to you! ❤️
@@RRSlugger Miners to you 😎
Really love your stance on ads, especially with youtube really cracking down on adblockers over the past 2 years. Can't wait for your summer (my winter)!
the fact that even midroll ads are things that appalls slugger really shows just how pure of a content creator he is
I am prepared for transcendence
I loved the event last year and im so glad it's happening again!
I'm so happy this is coming back. I can't believe it's been almost a year.
Let’s do this! 🎉
Oh my god it’s already summer of slug again I feel like the last one was no more than 4 months ago in my head
Right?? Where does the time go...
I don't need to prepar my body, I WAS BORN READY
WOOOO SUMMER OF SLUG BABY!!! YEEEEAAAAHHH
This group build sounds really cool, looking forward to seeing the submissions at the end of the summer.
Looking forward to it! Summer of Slug is the best!
Thank goodness it's back. Go Slugger! Get em!
Sounds good! Which I can't wait and hope this year will be and even slimmier time!
ITS SLUGGIN TIME
It's crazy how long but also short its felt since the last summer of SLUG.
Ive been a bit innactive on the discord server since December with finishing college, I'm excited to hopefully participate a bit more and once again enjoy the summer of slug with all the sluglings.
I imagine the server activity will pick up in July! You're always welcome there - glad to hear college has been going well! 😊
Summer of Slug is the official star of summer, for both north and south hemispheres.
This channel is just plain good vibes.
Can't wait for another Summer of Slug!
Heck yeah it's the Summer of Slug 2024, baby!
I'm looking forward to it!
And thank you for not monetizing your channel in every way you can!
Thank you! I'm certainly supportive of artists being able to earn a living, but throughout most of the year, this *isn't* a living for me - just a hobby. 😊
Slug. Yes.
Woop woop!! Summer of slug lets go!
the only season worth celebrating
THE SUMMER OF SLUG IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for the summer of slug this year!
I love how open you are. You are like big one oozing heart
this makes me happy. happy happy happy.
Oh welcome back! Good Times ahead!
Let's go summer of slug 2024!!🎉
So based I wish I had some money to donate at least out of respect for the principles. Looking forward to the summer of slug!
I am SOOO looking forward to hearing “It’s the summer of slug” sung through a mouthful of marshmallows!
I subscribed during the last summer of slug, I can’t wait to see what you create this year!!!
Hell yeah! Looking forward to it!
My brain when I heard the mech idea:
what if you had a stereotypical anime mech but it's like lightly modified so the giant sword has a bunch of seats on it and now it works as a bus.
YES! ❤️
YOOOOOO, THIS IS ALREADY AMAZING, BUT THIS BEING ANNOUNCED ON MY BIRTHDAY MAKES IT EVEN MORE AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Hey, happy birthday!! ❤️
@@RRSlugger thank you :D
It felt like it was just The Summer of Slug yesterday! At least there's one good thing about it being another year. More SLUG!
I guess this marks the start of the brainstorming phase of the Mechtropolis challenge and possible PO box submissions...
I still have the Star Mail sets I made.
I also still have my star mail set as well
The Mechtropolis theme is certainly a very intriguing concept. I myself can say that I am excited for what is to come of this year's Summer of Slug.
Summer of Slug Reloaded! Very excited for the new MOC party!
Can't wait! Again!
My body is ready.
I think all our bodies are ready, but the real question is if we are spiritually ready? The psychic damage might almost be as bad as getting a Toa Metru figure!

Oh, great! now I'm gonna have the 'Summer of Slug' theme song stuck in my head. AGAIN.

Yooooooooooooo turn the radio down and the TV up. Summer of Slug is back on 🥳🥳🥳
I love this channel

the return of the king
I love you slug
Actually so excited for this!!
Woohoo! I really enjoyed the SOS last year and will definitely subscribe this year 🎉🥳😃
Thank you so much! ❤️
So ready
It's the summer of slug!!!
Iiiiit's the Slugger of Some!
I'm gonna have an ear worm of that jingle for a couple months again, and it'll be worth it.
1. I'm happy it's back 2. I simply can't believe it's been a year. Where does the time go?
RIGHT??
i hope this gets to be an annual tradition!
This sounds fun!
Oh my gosh YES
Round two let’s go!!!!
It's already been a year!? Well, Mechtropolis sure sounds interesting!
oh yeah it's happening
My goodness time flies. Literally the last Summer of Slug just ended I blinked and we are here again. Super stoked for this btw, just got caught up in a time gap. i saw this thumbnail and was convinced I got last year's video and then I'm like wait... but it's winter....isn't it? Wish you all the best Slugger and looking forward to all the delicious new content this Summer :)
I feel the same way! While I'm excited for the Summer Of Slug, it still seems like it was only a few months ago...
Awesome
I hope the slug has recovered in time
my body is ready
Mechtropolis is quite exciting--I'll have to dig up some old lego city pieces!
if you are interested apparently there were two and only two official avatar the last airbender lego sets released in 2006 and seemingly never again. Could be interesting not so much to purchase being insanely expensive but to look into.
I'm of two minds:
Generally, whoo-hoo! I am really happy to get to experience another Summer of Slug!

Really happy to hear that intro again, as well! It pops up in my head every now and then, so I'm terribly happy to hear it!
I appreciate your concern! I think Star Mail was mostly to blame for that, haha, so I'll be handling Mechtropolis very differently this time around. 😅
@@RRSlugger Glad to hear it!! I look forward to it!
Here's to another great Summer of Slug!!!
Plz plz plz more Galidor content ♡ love to see you watch the show, if you can get around copyright stuff like clutch powers, assuming that’s an issue. 😂 ♡ much love, slugger.
He bought all of Nicks Galidor sets, so lets hope we see more videos about the line.
Haha, seeing as the show is all available freely on UA-cam, I don't think copyright stuff will be a problem. 😊
What might be a problem is me trying to find a way to make a video like that entertaining to watch..! 😅
@@RRSlugger I don't know man, there are many people who like cheesy crap like Galidor
Since we got the new City Space featuring astronauts researching new resources and energy sources, this could be a take on City _after_ that new discovery.
We have all the crystal colors with (mostly) corresponding cylinder pieces to make all kinds of battery packs.
Also Firefighter Mechs would just be Rescue ACE from YuGiOh, you can't convince me otherwise. (I thought of building FireMechs already)
Love the idea of mechtropolis
This is great news! Just signed up for the Patreon, looking forward to catching up on your videos.
Thank you so much!! There is a huge back catalog to go through - I hope you enjoy! 😊
@@RRSlugger Believe me, I already watched almost all of them - I meant catching up on the ones since the start of SoS24 😂
@@bosunsbricks Oh, gotcha! Well, there's going to be a new one to watch very soon! 👀
I am really like the idea of Mechtropolis
Your channel is better during the summer of slug
Summer of Slug !
Here we goooo! (Again!)
I am already looking forward to the deteriorating intro singing sanity 😂
I cannot wait for the summer of slug intro to progressively get more warbled.
