Currently reading through your comments and messages. I really wanted to just get things out of my chest originally, and genuinely thought I wouldn't care about the response. I thought while people might be supportive, the words wouldn't get to me because of how down I've been feeling this past month. Here I am now crying. I'm so incredibly proud to have affected all of you in a positive manner one way or the other, just like I'm so grateful you're continuously affecting my life and future in the most positive way possible. I've never felt much gratitude from the Minecraft / modding community in the past as I mentioned, making me so happy I've managed to gather such an incredibly supportive and motivating community. You're all so incredible, every single one of you. I don't wanna step into the parasocial territory as I do not know you personally, but that won't stop your comments from warming my heart, every single time, without failure. You're the best aspect of this job. I know, I do things for myself first, but your support is what keeps me going. I adore you guys, I genuinely do. Much ratty love, stay awesome. 🐀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
much rat love combing back at you! You are a great person, my favorite UA-camr, if you quit, everyone will miss you, don’t worry about views do what you love.
if you need to dip cause of burnout, everyone will understand, but otherwise, we will support you no matter what, especially me, id die for you, and your amazing.
Take all the time you need to heal. It's okay to feel burnt out, it's okay to feel down, it's important to take a break every so often! Focus on what you like, on what you have passion for, on what you enjoy! Even if it's simple, as small as it is, if it's making YOU happy, the sentiment will reach the right audience. If you do take a break, please, take it for as long as you need to be able to enjoy doing the things you like again, If you do end up quitting, I just want to say that it's been an amazing time being part of your community, and you will have marked all of us, your viewers, with good memories, all thanks to your videos. We appreciate you, and will always do. Please get better R4t! ♥
In my opinion, just takes time doing what you like or feel pleasant about. Dream is a thing that can't get away easily. So having fun is the most important thing, and you make me laugh, thank you
Hey Rat. Long time viewer here. I know UA-cam can be hard at times, and lots of things can seem out of reach. You are the reason why fanart comes in. The reason why Content SMP exists(and its lore), the reason why all of us are here right now. You've inspired countless to fallow in your footsteps, and I am one of them. You have helped many of us come together, and create friendships that last a life time. We love everything you do, and hope you continue to shine. And though this will get lost in the comment section, i hope you know, If you truly wish to stop, then we will support you. Just remember, we are here :)
I think it takes a lot to be vulnerable like this, especially on UA-cam. And I appreciate that. I think it’s nice to hear that other people are dealing with similar feelings and experiences. Even if it isn’t exact, the similarity is refreshing, knowing you’re not alone, and that your experience is valid. Even so, it’s good to be that aware of your thought processes and mindset. Whatever you end up choosing to do, whether it be to pivot, take a break, move on, start experimenting to try to find that spark again-do it for you. Everyone will still be here to support you, because we know you’ll still make or do great things regardless of how you do it. You’ve helped inspire me to start modding, make a Minecraft channel, start a server for my friends (and play Outer Wilds). You’ve helped inspire many people, and I'm sure you will continue to inspire many regardless of what you do. I wish you well with whatever path you choose, and I can’t wait to see what your future holds! (also PSA please never trust your thoughts after 9PM idk what happens to our brains but man it aint so good)
Content smp is one of the most inspiring series I've ever watched. Every time I finish a video, I genuinely want to go out and code or model or make content. You are such an inspiration to so many.
these recent years burnout is becoming more common, and the only thing i can say is that thank you, ever since i watched you i have this itch to just make mods and stuff with friends your a very talented creator and whatever step you do we will support you (just not felonies) (i feel so bad bec ive been pestering the aeronotics devs that im getting impatient :( )
Just take a break man,you don't really have to push yourself too much.Take a big break and come back when you think you are ready. edit:19 hours in and 2k likes,I wouldnt there alot of peoples agree with me,thanks you guy
My thoughts exactly. I remember that, for a few years, I got burnt out on writing because I forced myself to work on something I wasn't really proud of. It almost killed my love of writing. After taking a while off, I started writing again, and to this day, I am still going strong.
I haven't had the privilege of working directly with you on a full project, but I really enjoyed collaborating with you on one of TerasHD's videos. The feelings you’ve shared definitely hit close to home-trust me, you’re not alone. I’ve had my own moments where I question if I can top my last idea, video, or mod. What’s helped me through those times is having a circle of friends to collaborate with, which keeps the creative energy flowing, even when doubt creeps in. And to be honest, we often feel like we don’t fully fit into the MCYT community either. I think it's because the usual Minecraft Vanilla niche isn't not really our main focus-we’re more about telling good stories than sticking to the usual Minecraft stuff. But that’s also why your work stands to me. You’re an incredibly talented creator, and I genuinely hope you stick around. Without you, we wouldn’t get the kind of mind-blowing content, like that amazing spaceship!
i love yur content and i completely respect your desisions and i understand how you feel this way i have a friend going through a similer situation i hope everything goes well for you and i belive you should do what makes you happy ♡ i have Social anxiety aswell and i know how hard it can get even when im with the friends i trust the most i still feel that i can't share some of the dumbest things, either way just d what you love and take your time on whatever you need to do, you are so brave for posting about this it can be a difficult topic so i'm glad that you told us ♡
As everyone in the comments are saying, take a break, if I've got to add anything, how about a more story driven project after the break? The next best thing doesn't have to be big either! or maybe add more variety to your life? Regarding friends, I'd say nothing beats irl friends, a weekly or at least a monthly hangout with one, or maybe try and get to connect more with your online friends, put your projects on hold. Thank you for everything you've done so far, I hope for the best of your mental health and see you return with not something to impress anyone, but some project that you feel attached to as if it was your baby.
R4t, I think you would like to know, Your first Reach for the Stars video made me play Outer Wilds 100% spoiler free, I didn't even look at the steam page, and I think that's the greatest gift you could have ever given me, so thank you for everything, and wherever you go, whatever you do, you'll always have a place in all of your viewer's hearts. Thank you for everything.
so glad y'all getting to experience that wonderful game! and if you're reading this and haven't played outer wilds, go, it's a great game - and it's okay if you end up stuck, there are people who would be willing to help guide you without spoiling things all over the outer wilds system!
Hey man I just want you to know that when I found your channel I became obsessed with your creativity and content and I could never miss an upload, but remember you are your own person and you don't need your channel to control you and I really hope you don't quit, but along with that I hope you do what makes you happy in life. Love you man.❤
Hey, just take your time, you don't have to work for us, you don't owe us anything. Be silly be goofy, or do nothing. Don't let others get you down. You dont have to worry about how we feel about anything, because in the long run its your mental and physical health that matters much more than us. You've always made awesome and amazing things, whether big or small, extravagant or silly. And I suppose you need to figure out what you need, just look to yourself without needing to bigger or better.
there are healthier ways of doing what you love, if you love doing youtube that is. enjoy yourself and take a step back. you dont need to power-creep your videos, people watch for you more than the mods themselves, im confident in that. and when it comes to self fulfillment, you can still do many of the things that fulfill you while also taking the scope back. on top of that, healthier ways of getting through those bigger projects would really help you. i noticed you talked about how your most recent big video was taxing on your mental health and caused you to lose sleep. its important to always put yourself before your passion stay safe, do what you love and want to do
I’m going to be honest, I wish that more videos were posted. I REALLY like the smaller things. The small little mods with their own mini-showcase. Those are my favorite videos (and the poolrooms one)
This guy gets it. I really think the best way to handle big issues is to cut them to small parts, or in this case make videos of a more during the development process. Just the little stuff you enjoyed or something challenging you finally got past.
As someone who suffers from Severe anxiety. It's not true that your friend don't like you and we all love your content just take a break. Burnout is what you're experiencing and that's fine just don't leave we love you.
Bro you do what you need to do R4t ima support no matter what I will support you I have supported you since the first time I saw your video. You made me want to code and mod and even though I’m not All the way there yet, the fact that you over many other people inspired me to actually go for one of my dreams is crazy to me. So all I can say is Thank you for your time and I willl always appreciate, remember, and love you and your videos. I hope you’ll still make mods even though you don’t do UA-cam or not which is fine because I’ll still support you and what your decision is.
Burnout is a serious challenge and is the downfall of almost every channel that has a theme taking a break from UA-cam is not something to be ashamed of and can help you look for either better fufilment somewhere else or help you gain that passion back
I appreciate you sharing all of this. Validates some of my own struggles 😅 For the record, every time you post something I watch immediately. Your work is immensely inspiring to me and challenges me to learn and improve for myself. Really hope you can find that fulfillment! Whether that's in this work or in something else, its deserved 💜
I think what RAT shared is what most content creators feel. Having the feeling of being less impressive than others, the feeling that what they give is never enough. People tend to underestimate themselves a lot strain themselves to much when it comes to impressing others or basically making things that will be showned to a lot of people. The thing is, sometimes, it's also good to take a break. And I don't necessarily mean taking a break in the litteral way, but more like chilling a bit. Trying different things, maybe stepping away a bit from what you always do, and making something less impressive or crazy for once. I've been following both of your channels for a long time now, and I've noticed that each videos always get crazier and crazier (especially for rat, my went from a pretty cool looking client side mod for waterfalls to making a $50k mod for Mr Beast). But if you take a look at some other content creators, it's not the same. Their content don't get crazier and crazier over time, unlike yours. And I think that's part of why they often seem happier than you do. What I'm trying to say is that trying to make each video better than the last is not very good for your mental health, and can easily lead to a burnout. So take a step back, breath for a bit, go outside, touch some grass, go for a hike or something and just try to not strain yourself too much. Love you Knarfy, and love you RAT
Even if you do quit man, that space video is and always will be beautiful and amazing r4t. I am incredibly into space and theories about it, everything about space is just mind blowing to think about! I really deeply loved that video! I do encourage you to stay because you do an amazing job on all of your videos and I am itching to see more man!!! Your videos are amazing, so if you need to quit, then do it if you need it, but you will always have an amazing community here waiting for you!!! with Joy and Love -Evan
I'm not even that interested in space and I loved it! So much work had been put in. Rats videos made coding seem like such a fun process that I am now at college considering computer science as a major (currently undecided)
Whatever happens, we love you Rat. Hope everything works out OK. Your videos have been a definite bright spot in my days, so thank you for all the work and time you put in. Best wishes.
Rat mercis pour toute ces vidéos, si tu quitte vraiment sache que tu est une véritable source d’inspiration, mercis pour ces vidéos mille fois plus originale que Mr beast ou autre video (J’aurais jamais eu l’idée de faire un mod d’outer wilds si complet et ingénieux). Tu mérites AMPLEMENT tous le repo dont tu as besoin. Bonne chance au meilleur minecraftien français
Brother (or sister or sibling, idk), play a different game. I know you played Outer Wilds recently, but Thor from PirateSoftware has some great advice. Take your break, because you've been running so fast that walking feels like you're standing still. Sit down and take yourself away from the screen. Hate to say it, but touch grass!!!! Go on a vacation, go to a nice place, somewhere picturesque. Take care of yourself, we will always be right here for you, dude.
i must say i can relate a lot to what you’re experiencing, please, take some time off if you need, take some time to decompress and rest by the way, if you do end up quitting i’d say it’d be okay for most of us we’d still have found memories and the aspiration you gave to us, at least i know i would please, wether the person reading this is r4t or just another viewer, take care of yourself alright ? you matter and you rock ;p
I reconsidered and started learning java coding and minecraft modding because of you. I don't know and can't enforce what future holds for you but thanks for effecting mine
Hey Rat, I feel you. My girlfriend dumped me like 2 weeks ago and I am still very much affected. I am sad, I don't want to do anything, I don't feel like what I do can bring me back up, when I'm alone the energy I had even moments earlier while I was with friends suddently vanished. But I have made myself a promise, I promised myself to grow out of this, to treat myself better, to become a better person. I force myself to meet with friends, to think of other things, to exit my room and to do stuff. I obviously made little progress, as all of this happenede not so long ago and right at the start of school (just the right moment...) but I treasure the progress I made and force and push myself to make more and be even better. Well, I vented a bit too, but you get the point. You do what brings you happiness. You do what makes you better. You bring yourself back up. I say this because I know that you can, and me, the other members of the community, your friends and family are here to support you, to help you with whatever exits the maze that is your mind, because we know that whatever you do is what will make you happy. The convoluted, and often random, ways of the algorithm bringed me to yor videos, but you made me stay. I believe in you, greetings from Italy! (hope I didn't mess up english too badly)
Rat, you are one of the most amazing Minecraft creators and modders I have ever seen! You’re probably half the reason I’ve ever considered trying modding. If you need a break, take it! You deserve one, especially after making a giant (speaks New York)off spaceship.
Whatever you do, don't let your work disappear. It has inspired, inspires and will inspire if people can still find it. When creation becomes a burden for me, I need ambitious people like you that go above and beyond to inspire me and broaden my horizons. I appreciate greatly what you ve done and perhaps one day I ll be modding too. Cheers from a fellow french speaker, stay blessed and take some well earned rest, whatever happens after is anyone's guess
Rat, take a break man, take a rest till you are ready. And if you do quit, just remember that your videos have inspired many, to begin their own journeys for modding or maybe just doing youtube themselves in general. I'd even include myself... if my PC could handle modding. Alright Rat? So remember, take a bit to recharge yourself, or if you think it's necessary, just know we'll miss ya when ya go.
R4t, you do whatever you need to do. The amount of passion in your videos is inspiring. I’ve also grappled with not being satisfied with anything constantly but as long as you stay true to yourself things will get better. Sometimes the best moments of my life personally was when I’ve just chilled out and did smth silly. And sometimes you just gotta keep moving forward and recently I’ve been in a similar situation with moving away from ppl but you gotta keep moving forward and letting those small moments carry you through. Sometimes you just gotta remember those good moments for being good. And realize that you have done wonderful things and maybe those projects couldn’t have been done without your friends but they certainly couldn’t have been done without you
we'll always love you man, you have made SO many things, so many... amazing and awesome things. you are one of my favorite content creators, literally ever..!
You are just burned out man! Just take a rest, touch some grass, talk this out with other people that you think or feel that cares for you and supports what you do or can help you with it. - If you decide to quit, i will respect it, you have gone out of your way to make this much stuff on difrent levels. Now thats some dedicatiıon. - If you decide to take a break, than have some fun on your break, go and visit new places, buy the thing that you always wanted to or do. But keep in mind that if you dont occasinaly do some modding stuff, your skills *will rot* away, slowly but surely, im am not saying this to pressure you but to make you feel frustated because you are not like your old self. - If you dont quit or take a break and countie, than try to have as much breathing and relaxing time as much as possible to burnout yourself. Keep in mind that there a loyal viewers, no, *real people* that actualy support you in anyway they can and love you not just because of your content or what you do but because of you. (If this part kinda sounded weird, yeah im not the best at these XD.) « Quand tu es fatigué de créer, peut-être as-tu juste besoin d’une pause, pas d’un adieu. » -Someone that cares for you (The french quotes translation is "When you're tired of creating, maybe you just need a break, not a goodbye.".)
6:07 What your describing sounds alot like the highs and lows of adhd hyper fixation, 9:31 and to be honest I think that alot of your fans/audience would love to watch videos about even the smaller things, myself included, or even videos showcasing a part of what your working on one part at a time! But whatever you do decide to do, know that we'll support you and your journey to finding your next step! Another idea I had just, y'know, in case it inspires you, if you did some kind of let's play where you work on slowly add quality of life mods, and you could even have episodic cameos with friends, just creating YOUR perfect Minecraft world/experience (another MC creator Mr.Beardstone has been working on something similar but different) But regardless, you have our support whether that is shifting UA-cam to be more of a hobby, to leaving UA-cam (vacation or indefinitely or something else) Just know that your videos are incredible, and no matter what choose to do, I will come back to watch your videos again, especially your Space Odyssey, because you gave me the chance to see what the sunsets look like on other planets, and That is something I won't soon forget! 🥹 So Thank You Rat 🐁🐀!
im not the kind of person that can give advice towards motivation, but if is was in your shoes i would take a break and make a passion project, somthing just for me. you made me play one of the best games i have ever played outer wilds, and i hope you can find a way forward with this headspace.
I've been in a very similar situation. I have several prices of advice, though taking advice from strangers behind a screen is probably a hollow comfort at best. First, if you do decide to leave, whether permanent or temporary, make a hard decision. The "one more project" keeps on going. It's better to leave an unfinished project than to never leave projects. Second, the one thing that I've found that never burns you out are people. No matter what, there is always some soul who cares about you. Third, I thought the same things about my friends. I hated myself for it and it led me down into a pit of depression. This happened some years ago, and I can't remember how I got out of it. But I can tell you that it wasn't a moment. It was a long, long time of trying my best to tell myself that I can feel and others can have positive feelings about me. Fourth, remember that our lives are limited. My mortality always ticking has been my greatest inspiration. When I started to believe that the end is just the next step, it was a slow but great push to lift me up. Fifth, remember that you have worth. Not because I say so or anyone compliments you. Not even for being yourself. Because you _can_ be better than the you from yesterday. That potential is an anchor and believing in it carried me through dark thoughts.
I have always loved your videos and loved seeing the fun you and others had, but most importantly you inspired me to learn programming! Next year I will probably be learning programming and it’s sad to hear that you feel like this right now. Do what you think is best. Take a break and come back… or leave. We’ll support your choice. Hope you feel better soon.
You said that you had to do the Next big thing, and I feel that as a Writer, I'll come up with an idea, and then immediately go "Oh, I can do this even better." And expand on the idea, and then I'll be like "Oh, I can do better, that's not good enough." And it's not for anyone, but me, but I look to other writers, and even friends who are storytellers, and I'll go "But I'm not them." Even when the friends have helped me, or those writers inspired me. I get the thing of, people just not having time, and even if you don't mean to, part of you takes it to heart, that you are a bad person for wanting your friend to not be busy, but also feeling like an asshole for wanting to drag your friend from other things. I can't give great advice, because I still struggle with it for moments. What if I'm overbearing, what if they don't like me? And those thoughts are inherently selfish, which isn't bad, but something that's kind of helped me realize Is that, The world doesn't revolve around you, or anyone for that matter, it revolves around the Sun, and the moon revolves around the Earth, and nothing revolves around anyone. And that's okay, because we still can choose to hang around those people, even if they don't revolve around us, and we don't revolve around them. We can Choose.
You're not alone. Everything you talk about in this video are things I recognize in myself, my friends, and in other people talking about things like depression, and impostor syndrome, and burnout, and all kinds of "I have a thing that isn't diagnosed, but I don't have the words for it, and that makes me feel disconnected and alone". There are people who feel the same about their own lives, and there are ways to feel better (or at least a bit less bad). Take your time; you don't owe us anything.
You have always been so opened to us and showed us what are you and minecraft caplable of, you've inspired countless children (me included) to chase your dreams, and theres no harm in trying. The only thing stopping you is the path to your dream, it will be painful, you will sometimes lose motivation, but it's fine, this is a sign that you need rest. So rat, please go and take a rest, you really deserve it and if you are scared of the youtube algorthim don't be. We will always care and love you and your videos. So please take as long as you want. And regarding the fufilment, as you said not everything will be fulfilled in life. You don't have to keep forcing youself to make gigantic ideas which makes you suffer, just do the things that you like! For example the clown scythe video, the project was small but you had fun right? we viewers also had a lot of fun watching it, remember you don't have to make things very intense just to get views, the most important is you having fun in it. Then us viewers wil also have fun with you. Ok this is a lengthy ass paragraph i wish i can write this much for school- But in conclusion rat, please take as much time as you need and remember, have fun with your work, you don't have to suffer for anyone. have a nice day:D
If your not fulfilled, know that with every video, every second of content, you have given people a distraction from their lives thats entertaining, fun, and often inspirational. Never give up, take a break, just remember that people do care about what you do.
Idk if you'll see or even read this but, do whatever you feel is right. If you wanna reset the universe in minecraft or make a farm, go ahead. But it seems to me that you suffer from burnout, which means you need to take a break and then return to the youtube grind. The dedicated ones of us will remain waiting for you to return.
I've always loved programing, but at some point a couple of years ago I was doubting if that would be what i wanted to do in life. UA-cam then recomended me the first Snow Mercy video. It was the coolest video i had ever seen. Time and time again, you keep surpassing yourself and, while it's not necesary, just seeing you make all of this crazy things is what keeps making me smile every time i get a discord notification. You have inspired my future career and maybe you stay, maybe you don't, but I'll always remember those videos that inspired me to make mods for games and then programing in general. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
whatever you decide, we, your fans, will support you. A long break, or leaving entirely, we will always support whatever it is that you need to do to put yourself first. For many, you are an inspiration. For many others, you are amazingly entertaining, whatever path you take, we will be behind you, even if it meant never producing a video or content again
if you need to take a brake or leave that's ok don't force yourself to make content trying to do that will only make it worse and if you even need to stop all together that's fine to your mental heath should come before UA-cam and if that means leaving then do that do whatever makes you happy and any good subscriber wold support you on anything you wanted to do because that's what people should do help each other to become happier :) and while i wold like you to keep doing this if you arnt finding this to be good for you then I will support you :)
C'est pas grave de penser à ça! Il faut juste que tu saches, tu nous as inspiré et introduit majorité d'entre nous à faire des mods. Si tu pars, tu auras eu une belle route!
You’ve been a great inspiration to my art, and I hope you’re okay! You can work on your own time, and it’s important to make time for yourself! Hope you feel better! -a long time viewer and subscriber
you are an awsome youtuber, I hope you are able to figure yourself out, if you need to step away, or even quit to makesure your mental state is healthy.... In my oppinion the face behind the mask is the most important... I would be sad to see you leave, but if you need it. We support you!
We want what's best for you. If you Need to take a break, take a break. If you need to make content creation a side thing, do that. If you need to quit indefinitely, do that.
sometimes being able to say what’s been on your mind for a while can be very helpful in relieving the negative emotions and or thoughts that have been building up, so I hope that in making this video, you at least felt the tiniest bit better, because some of the things you mentioned were similar things I’ve gone through and talking made me feel better and I just guess I want you, someone I’ll never meet in person because I’m a introverted person who hates mass social gatherings (conventions), to feel a little better about yourself and how you’re moving forward.
Not to overshare under a youtube video but a lot of these things I relate to as someone with bpd, especially when it comes to being jealous in ways im not proud of or not feeling close to friends even when I talk to them every day. Figuring out mentally where I was at helped a lot, and reaching out to friends and such. Dunno if youll see this but maybe something in it could help
Having a burnout myself i just didn't feel like watching this video for two days. You know, it would sound bad but you don't have to know anything. You have a good community, all those millions of people supprot (not a mistake) you. Just do whatever or do nothing, it's up to you before anyone else. Be yourself, no matter who you really are. GL and stay safe
I know I cant say anything that will magic all your problems and worries away but for what its worth, we all like you for you. not for the who you collab with, not for just your biggest production or mod. we like you for you, for how you are. if you arent having a good time doing this, we dont want to force you to continue. take a break, stop if its necessary for your health. we want you to be your best you, and if you ever need us we’ll always be here
If you want to quit, dont feel obligated to stay just to satisfy your fans. Just know we've enjoyed the ride while it lasted, and go on to bigger and better things!
as someone struggeling with imposter syndrom and other mental issues i feel you. but you have to realise that no matter what. i watch your channels for you. not for the minecraft content. if you decided to make a full playtrough of factorio i will still tune in. and i am 100% sure i am not the only one. you impacted me so much you have made a positive influence. and you have blown me away with your creativity and drive to create. if anything i am happy to be able to enjoy your great videos.
It's totally fair to feel how you feel. How you see yourself may be different from how others feel; however, you're both right in your own ways! You know your limits and what is worth doing while people around you know that you are a great person with a tailored toolkit of skills to make some truly great products. It's not quite correct to compare you to the other modders because everyone has their own "specializations" (what makes their style click; their vibes). Everyone has their style and everyone interprets those styles a bit differently. To many, yours is undeniably very strong when you make a dedicated effort toward a project you care for. :D You are a part of the communities you don't feel you are REALLY a part of. Despite what you don't have, your skills (even if you found some things easy or natural) outshined hundreds of thousands of other people. I feel similarly to you in a lot of ways and respect your dedication to the vast sea of unmade content. The people that take up your thrilling projects are likely motivated to support and deliver without fail; I see it more as them investing their time and effort for a common interest (your project). I hope we can agree on this much at least for the sake of your sanity. Also, don't worry so much about what big thing you'll do next, it (with little-to-no doubt) will come naturally if you take your time and explore where you normally don't (be it another game, a new restaurant, or a forgotten, unkept corner of the internet). People like you add a splash of color to people's days in an innovative and heartwarming manner. Please continue with what you love doing and have a lovely day/night, Rat! :) I'm so sorry if this rubs off as me trying to blindly explain your problems and hand you crappy solutions (I'm probably a bit off on my points), but I genuinely think I have a feeling of where you're coming from and wish to help if I can. I'm hoping that I've helped at least a little.
R4T i hope you know that you genuinely inspired so so many people, i saw the effective mod when my friend sent me a modpack and i have just loved everything you have made since, they are so so fun, and if you need a break, you can take one, i dont think any of your fans would be upset. Do what makes you feel best. Love you man
Im gonna be honest, a friend kinda started modding cuz of this (of course in a smaller scale with mcreator etc) and cuz of that and seeing these videos i also kinda started using blockbench, mcreator, fabric. So yeah if you quit it would be incredibly sad BUT everyone will understand myself included. Take a break and do something else XD. :) i wish you a nice day and ill continue watching the video now. Good luck :)
Rat, whatever happens, whether you keep going, you take a break or you quit and go do something else, We will ALWAYS support you in everything. Life should be happy and fulfilling so do what makes you happy, your life is for you to live and to enjoy. Your videos have have made me and like a million other people happy, and that is so much more than anyone can ever dream of. You are a great inspiration to people, in fact you are the reason why i picked up art again! The only way we could ever thank you is to encourage and support you in what you chose to do. So please take this as us wishing you luck in whatever you chose to do good luck Rat :)
Hey Rat, anyways I saw your vids and they're pretty fun! I do understand what u feel rn and its stress, u have been putting pressure on urself and u keep thinking abt losing ur friends. The way I cope with it is by talking/hanging out with them or thinking abt having ur friends instead of losing them, u should also tell them how u feel because that will help you get it off the back of your mind, don't put pressure on urself ok? Hope ur fine
I honestly love watching you make anything. My favorite part of your videos are watching you laugh and run away from explosions or gush about the cool little details of the mods you make. I noticed you started making bigger and bigger things, and that solar system thing was absolutely massive. It was absolutely amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I love it more when I can see you just running around having fun testing your mods. I hope you are able to take a much needed break, and whether you do massive mods or just make a silly little ones, I think I can speak for everyone when I say we love watching you have fun. Modding is an art, like painting is an art. I’m an artist and I get burnt out often so I think I might know a little part of what you’re feeling. You make incredible things. Big and small, and you don’t need to always one up yourself. It’s a never ending battle that, if you don’t have a healthy plan to keep yourself from burning out, can destroy your self esteem. You should take care of yourself. We all care about you rat, and we will be here to watch and enjoy your videos no matter what you make.
If your friends didn’t like you, they won’t hangout with you. Rat, I don’t think you realize this but people like you for who you are. Everytime I watch your videos I see you having fun, messing around with bugs and testing. At the end of videos you show off what you have accomplished to your friends. What ever you do for now on, we support you!!! We are here with you to the end!!!
I found you in 2021 and you slowly became one my favorite youtubers. I went on vacation a few years ago and saw that you uploaded a new video being your first CSMP video. When I was on vacation, I was super exited to see it and when I got back home and watched it, I loved it. I loved it so much I made a little modded server with a few friends. That server died after a little while, but I got a new love of making minecraft modpacks. Around a year passes and I joined a modded server because I really liked modding minecraft. From that I met people I talk to nearly every day. Basically, what I am saying is I would not have met my friends or had a passion for modding minecraft if it weren't for you. Thank you for that!
Rat thanks for all your work i still smile every time i watch your vids i love love craft and horror stuff and youve nailed it all. Do what you need brother.
You’re an awesome and amazing guy, rat. I love watching your videos when I come home from a long stressful day of work. Burnout is the worst, and I hope you take as much time as you need. Please get better!! ❤❤❤
❤ I followed the Nomai probe and listened to you talk from the heart and I'm glad that you managed to get this off your chest and into the world. Keeping it in can be hard to live with. I've seen someone talk about this too but going into space in Outer Wilds and just taking in the ambiance and taking time to be alone with your thoughts between you and the vacuum of space is a nice way to sort out and address or just acknowledge some important but quiet thoughts that really need some healthy silence to speak out (not the midnight bed silence type). I made sure to spend some time after that thinking about things and yeah. Your creations definitely touched me in a way similar to how Outer Wilds did - and we both know that's high praise haha. You're a wonderful and inspiring individual and I'm happy and glad that you've managed to nurture such a supportive and well-meaning community. Take care Rat :3 ❤
You know that as long as you explain your absence whatever you feel comfortable letting you take a break is good. Never let people push yourself to stress. Be who you want to be and don't let people say otherwise.
RAT, it's okay if you want to have a break, you need it. We will always be here, and will support you no matter what. If you quit, it'll be sad for us, but it was your choice. People needs breaks, and that's Alright. You can take a break. (you gave me a heartattack tbh, but if you need a break, you can always take one
As someone who has been burnt out before, I can say, recharge your batteries, but if you decide to be done, have fun with whatever you go to insted and know what you've done for the minecraft/modding community.
whatever you do, we will always be there, we will remember you, you made my days like a year ago I watched most of you videos cuz I loved your style, of making content, mods, jokes and more. you Inspired me to start trying to do minecraft mods and you showed me mods that I actually wanted to play with. just letting you know, you are my idol.
My man... You're just having a burn out! Relax and try to be focused on something you like like your friends Because we're your fans and we love you no matter what! If you are feeling overwhelmed just lay off it! We're fine I promise We will all be fine k? Just take care of yourself first.
I wanted to first say that you shall do what you are comfortable with... but I just can't, you are just the only thing that makes me think of making my own SMP with mods, and kind of... just to play Minecraft... Please don't leave us here to suffer in a world where every idea was already thinked of.
im not exactly sure what would help because i dont exactly know everything about your situation but i find that finding a new hobby can often really help in these situations (preferably a hobby that involves some sort of physical activity or having to go outside for it) i found rental karting and sim racing to be really fun but they are both really deep rabbit holes that i will only recommend to go down if youre ready to put in a lot of effort, if finding a new hobby doesn't help then its up to you.
love your content, ty for the inspiration and the awesome ideas! take a break whenever you feel like it, you deserve whatever you've built and also a life outside it
Je te suis depuis un petit moment déjà, j'ai toujours adoré ton contenue, j'ai toujours affirmé que cette chaine était ma préféré parmi la communauté Minecraft entière, tout d'abord cette vidéo m'a fait du bien honnêtement, malgré mon plutôt jeune âge je me retrouve beaucoup dans se que tu as dit pendant ta vidéo, le fait d'être mit a l'écart etc.. merci tout d'abord pour cette vidéos qui m'a réchauffé le cœur. Ensuite il n'y a en aucun cas besoin de se casser l'esprit a se demander si on doit faire une pause ou pas, si tu en as besoin alors fait le, parce que si se n'est pas fait se sera de pire en pire, je voudrais aussi revenir sur un moment de la vidéo ou tu dit que tu es trop timide pour aller voir un psy, je l'était aussi mais je te le recommande franchement, ça m'a beaucoup aidé, j'ai eu du mal au début beaucoup de mal, il faut aussi en trouver un qui est bien et qui convient, bref j'espère que tu verra ce message, en tout cas repose toi si tu en as besoin et surtout je tenais a te dire que T'ES LE MEILLEUR :D
Even tho we will all miss your great videos,u should do what u think is best for ur mental and physical health and if ur not sure take a long break to relax and think over your youtube career
I'm commenting this only 5 minutes in, but what I'm getting from this is that so far for you content creation and modding has started becoming stale or boring for you? It seems like you've also been struggling mentally too, I can hear it a bit in your voice actually, and I hope you start feeling better. Whether you quit or not, take a break or not, whatever you do, we will be here to support you along the way RAT Edit: I've listened a bit more, and I've gone through similar feelings, it is in a sense paranoia and anxiety, maybe a bit of depression mixed in. It just makes me want to reach out to you and help you cuz I've gone through a somewhat similar thing
I’ve been watching you for I think 2 years now or so (I have the original rat maid plush but sadly missed the second one, third is on the way!) I love your videos and honestly getting a notification from your channel has always made my day so so much. I usually see them quite quickly (Main channel, I know I was this a bit late ;w;) but even so my cousin still sends me the video immediately and I like breaking them into parts to watch while I eat since UA-cam has kinda become an ocd ritual while I eat. Anyways, Love the videos and as someone who suffers with diagnosed depression and 2 anxiety disorders I understand the feeling of helplessness. I dont know much about content creation or how making UA-cam videos so I can’t say I fully understand the struggles that come with it but I believe in whatever you choose. If you feel comfortable continuing id be really happy as your videos are so so inspiring to me but if not I completely understand and your healthy (Physical, mental, emotional) should be the top priority. Much love and I hope you’re feeling better!
I know people with feelings like you have and i kind of understand your problems. I'm not a certified psychologist but i know you should persuade yourself to value what you've done. Don't bother thinking that you are worse or better than someone. There are always people that are more and less skillful than you. Be happy with what you have : people around you and health. And even if you are really introvertive try to open yourself in front of people you love and trust. It always makes things better. Wish you a good life. ❤
Rat, you have inspired me and so many others to get into modding and even if I am in my own creative slump I still think you've done your best, you are enough and we love you as your community and fellow modders. If you do decide to leave you can come back whenever you want there will always be a place for you here.
Divertir les gens sur internet est une chose , mais le premier truc a faire a cela s'applique a tout les métier c'est de pensée d'abord a soi pour par la suite faire ce qu'on aime le plus longtemps possible ! Toute t'est vidéos sont très inspirante , et voir ce qui est possible sur minecraft avec du talent mais surtout beaucoup de travail et toujours quelque chose d'incroyable vu comment tu repousse toujours plus les limites du jeux ! Pour finir je sait que tu a une énorme fan base en anglais , mais je veux moi aussi t'apporter mon soutient en français !
Hey r4t ! As someone not really from the minecraft community (i watch minecraft content almost only when i get stuck in my 2 week minecraft phase) i discovered your videos with the content SMP and loved your work immediatelly. It inspired me to try learning to code minecraft mod but i dropped fast unfortunatelly because of how many steps you have to go through and learn before finally starting to code a single thing. But your videos were always a way for me to discover what would a top modding experience would look like and i am always amazed by your work. Just yesterday (because yes i am in my 2 week minecraft phase again) i thought "Hey did i miss a r4t video ? maybe there is a new one out" and saw you didn't post but i realized that for me you are my go to minecraft content creator for a quality and fun content. J'espère que tu comprend que tu a ta place dans la communauté et que tu fais un boulot incroyable !
Hey man, if you need it take a break. Let your brain reset, if you think its possible, and then decide if UA-cam is worth continuing or not. And if it ain't, at least tell us. I'm sure a large portion of your community will follow you into whatever you do next. As for what you do if you continue UA-cam, i can't really speak for the future, but i can speak for the past, and myself. If after that reset you feel like going back to the smaller mods, fucking do it. I love those little fun videos and I'm sure plenty of the newer fanbase will too. Perhaps I'm misreading the situation, a UA-cam video ain't exactly enough to get a full feel for the situation, and obviously your personal life has an effect that you probably shouldn't disclose online. I just know how burnout can be, and sometimes you just gotta let the mind rest. You're mind can solve some absolutely fucked up problems without even trying. You just got give it time to not try.
Damn bro that's a shame...i only stumbled on your channel recently and i really enjoy it. Oh well..i hope things get better for you dude, good luck with whatever you decide to do
take a break if you need. you're my favorite minecraft youtuber, but i think its best if you are happy when you do your videos. take a break as needed, if you come back we will be happy to see you back, if not, you made excellent videos and inspired many.
I only found your channel after the blimp thing in context smp and you quickly became one of my favorite Minecraft UA-camrs. I loved all the characters and the emotional driven story. I loved all the awesome mods you made. If you need to take a break, you have more than earned it.
Currently reading through your comments and messages. I really wanted to just get things out of my chest originally, and genuinely thought I wouldn't care about the response. I thought while people might be supportive, the words wouldn't get to me because of how down I've been feeling this past month.
Here I am now crying. I'm so incredibly proud to have affected all of you in a positive manner one way or the other, just like I'm so grateful you're continuously affecting my life and future in the most positive way possible.
I've never felt much gratitude from the Minecraft / modding community in the past as I mentioned, making me so happy I've managed to gather such an incredibly supportive and motivating community. You're all so incredible, every single one of you. I don't wanna step into the parasocial territory as I do not know you personally, but that won't stop your comments from warming my heart, every single time, without failure.
You're the best aspect of this job. I know, I do things for myself first, but your support is what keeps me going.
I adore you guys, I genuinely do. Much ratty love, stay awesome.
🐀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We love you too dude!!
much rat love combing back at you! You are a great person, my favorite UA-camr, if you quit, everyone will miss you, don’t worry about views do what you love.
Same for you buddy!
keep it real you legend
if you need to dip cause of burnout, everyone will understand, but otherwise, we will support you no matter what, especially me, id die for you, and your amazing.
Burnout is no joke. Take a breather if you need to until you feel like your batteries have recharged. We'll still be here when you get back.
Yep we are not going anywhere!
@@oShineMC-kt5scnot for even a zepto-second. Here we stand, here we stay.
Going nowhere
It's a really good idea.
@@oShineMC-kt5schere we stand, here we stay.
if you do leave, know that you've inspired tons (like myself!) to begin modding, and if you don't, we will stay and support you after this
Couldn't have been worded better
very correct
Yes, their content is brilliant, and I will miss them greatly.
@@itsruby2843 we all will
I think I started learning a little before I found Rat, but bro inspired me to keep working on improving myself on it.
Take all the time you need to heal. It's okay to feel burnt out, it's okay to feel down, it's important to take a break every so often! Focus on what you like, on what you have passion for, on what you enjoy! Even if it's simple, as small as it is, if it's making YOU happy, the sentiment will reach the right audience. If you do take a break, please, take it for as long as you need to be able to enjoy doing the things you like again, If you do end up quitting, I just want to say that it's been an amazing time being part of your community, and you will have marked all of us, your viewers, with good memories, all thanks to your videos. We appreciate you, and will always do. Please get better R4t! ♥
In my opinion, just takes time doing what you like or feel pleasant about.
Dream is a thing that can't get away easily. So having fun is the most important thing, and you make me laugh, thank you
I feel that as a viewer, if you're having fun, and what you're doing is entertaining, I'm gonna watch it, even if it's a 5 hour long unedited video
That's true
5 Hours unedited!? Rookie numbers!
(Just kidding, would put that on like a podcast though)
I would watch a 48 hour unedited video because I have nothing better to do
I feel like thats more of a stream than a video

Hey Rat. Long time viewer here. I know UA-cam can be hard at times, and lots of things can seem out of reach. You are the reason why fanart comes in. The reason why Content SMP exists(and its lore), the reason why all of us are here right now. You've inspired countless to fallow in your footsteps, and I am one of them. You have helped many of us come together, and create friendships that last a life time. We love everything you do, and hope you continue to shine. And though this will get lost in the comment section, i hope you know, If you truly wish to stop, then we will support you. Just remember, we are here :)
😊 true
the perfect summary of how we feel as a whole
Couldn't put it better
I think it takes a lot to be vulnerable like this, especially on UA-cam. And I appreciate that. I think it’s nice to hear that other people are dealing with similar feelings and experiences. Even if it isn’t exact, the similarity is refreshing, knowing you’re not alone, and that your experience is valid. Even so, it’s good to be that aware of your thought processes and mindset.
Whatever you end up choosing to do, whether it be to pivot, take a break, move on, start experimenting to try to find that spark again-do it for you. Everyone will still be here to support you, because we know you’ll still make or do great things regardless of how you do it.
You’ve helped inspire me to start modding, make a Minecraft channel, start a server for my friends (and play Outer Wilds). You’ve helped inspire many people, and I'm sure you will continue to inspire many regardless of what you do.
I wish you well with whatever path you choose, and I can’t wait to see what your future holds!
(also PSA please never trust your thoughts after 9PM idk what happens to our brains but man it aint so good)
Preach 🙏
A truly beautiful statement from the shrimp quartet guy ❤
Last person id expect to see here, hi ovalman
i feel like 9pm is when you get your video ideas.
9pm thoughts are great for mental inspiration though
Content smp is one of the most inspiring series I've ever watched. Every time I finish a video, I genuinely want to go out and code or model or make content. You are such an inspiration to so many.
these recent years burnout is becoming more common, and the only thing i can say is that thank you, ever since i watched you i have this itch to just make mods and stuff with friends your a very talented creator and whatever step you do we will support you (just not felonies) (i feel so bad bec ive been pestering the aeronotics devs that im getting impatient :( )
Just take a break man,you don't really have to push yourself too much.Take a big break and come back when you think you are ready.
edit:19 hours in and 2k likes,I wouldnt there alot of peoples agree with me,thanks you guy
I agree
Agreed, and hey, maybe talking with a therapist instead of a psychiatrist can help you. There is a pretty big difference between the two
Agreed
My thoughts exactly. I remember that, for a few years, I got burnt out on writing because I forced myself to work on something I wasn't really proud of. It almost killed my love of writing. After taking a while off, I started writing again, and to this day, I am still going strong.
agreed
I haven't had the privilege of working directly with you on a full project, but I really enjoyed collaborating with you on one of TerasHD's videos. The feelings you’ve shared definitely hit close to home-trust me, you’re not alone. I’ve had my own moments where I question if I can top my last idea, video, or mod. What’s helped me through those times is having a circle of friends to collaborate with, which keeps the creative energy flowing, even when doubt creeps in.
And to be honest, we often feel like we don’t fully fit into the MCYT community either. I think it's because the usual Minecraft Vanilla niche isn't not really our main focus-we’re more about telling good stories than sticking to the usual Minecraft stuff. But that’s also why your work stands to me. You’re an incredibly talented creator, and I genuinely hope you stick around. Without you, we wouldn’t get the kind of mind-blowing content, like that amazing spaceship!
Your content is great for when I need to just take my mind away from stuff and rest, keep up the great work
Make sure your mental health is your top priority. It is ok to take breaks if you don't feel ok yourself.
Also physical
thank you for telling him man
I just love the fun stuff Rat does. Whether its simply existing or making a small mod, Rat always makes great content in my mind!
i love yur content and i completely respect your desisions and i understand how you feel this way i have a friend going through a similer situation i hope everything goes well for you and i belive you should do what makes you happy ♡ i have Social anxiety aswell and i know how hard it can get even when im with the friends i trust the most i still feel that i can't share some of the dumbest things, either way just d what you love and take your time on whatever you need to do, you are so brave for posting about this it can be a difficult topic so i'm glad that you told us ♡
Never thought I would have to say this on a burnout video, but that comment was legitimately hard to read.
@@koopatroopa7968 sorry... 😅
@@koopatroopa7968tell me about it
Do what you're comfortable with we will understand
As everyone in the comments are saying, take a break, if I've got to add anything, how about a more story driven project after the break? The next best thing doesn't have to be big either! or maybe add more variety to your life?
Regarding friends, I'd say nothing beats irl friends, a weekly or at least a monthly hangout with one, or maybe try and get to connect more with your online friends, put your projects on hold.
Thank you for everything you've done so far, I hope for the best of your mental health and see you return with not something to impress anyone, but some project that you feel attached to as if it was your baby.
R4t, I think you would like to know, Your first Reach for the Stars video made me play Outer Wilds 100% spoiler free, I didn't even look at the steam page, and I think that's the greatest gift you could have ever given me, so thank you for everything, and wherever you go, whatever you do, you'll always have a place in all of your viewer's hearts. Thank you for everything.
Me too!
so glad y'all getting to experience that wonderful game!
and if you're reading this and haven't played outer wilds, go, it's a great game - and it's okay if you end up stuck, there are people who would be willing to help guide you without spoiling things all over the outer wilds system!
Hey man I just want you to know that when I found your channel I became obsessed with your creativity and content and I could never miss an upload, but remember you are your own person and you don't need your channel to control you and I really hope you don't quit, but along with that I hope you do what makes you happy in life. Love you man.❤
Hey, just take your time, you don't have to work for us, you don't owe us anything. Be silly be goofy, or do nothing. Don't let others get you down. You dont have to worry about how we feel about anything, because in the long run its your mental and physical health that matters much more than us.
You've always made awesome and amazing things, whether big or small, extravagant or silly.
And I suppose you need to figure out what you need, just look to yourself without needing to bigger or better.
If something we owe him.
fr
there are healthier ways of doing what you love, if you love doing youtube that is. enjoy yourself and take a step back. you dont need to power-creep your videos, people watch for you more than the mods themselves, im confident in that. and when it comes to self fulfillment, you can still do many of the things that fulfill you while also taking the scope back. on top of that, healthier ways of getting through those bigger projects would really help you. i noticed you talked about how your most recent big video was taxing on your mental health and caused you to lose sleep.
its important to always put yourself before your passion
stay safe, do what you love and want to do
I’m going to be honest, I wish that more videos were posted.
I REALLY like the smaller things. The small little mods with their own mini-showcase. Those are my favorite videos (and the poolrooms one)
This guy gets it. I really think the best way to handle big issues is to cut them to small parts, or in this case make videos of a more during the development process. Just the little stuff you enjoyed or something challenging you finally got past.
As someone who suffers from Severe anxiety. It's not true that your friend don't like you and we all love your content just take a break. Burnout is what you're experiencing and that's fine just don't leave we love you.
Bro you do what you need to do R4t ima support no matter what I will support you I have supported you since the first time I saw your video. You made me want to code and mod and even though I’m not All the way there yet, the fact that you over many other people inspired me to actually go for one of my dreams is crazy to me. So all I can say is Thank you for your time and I willl always appreciate, remember, and love you and your videos. I hope you’ll still make mods even though you don’t do UA-cam or not which is fine because I’ll still support you and what your decision is.
Burnout is a serious challenge and is the downfall of almost every channel that has a theme taking a break from UA-cam is not something to be ashamed of and can help you look for either better fufilment somewhere else or help you gain that passion back
I appreciate you sharing all of this. Validates some of my own struggles 😅
For the record, every time you post something I watch immediately. Your work is immensely inspiring to me and challenges me to learn and improve for myself.
Really hope you can find that fulfillment! Whether that's in this work or in something else, its deserved 💜
I think what RAT shared is what most content creators feel. Having the feeling of being less impressive than others, the feeling that what they give is never enough. People tend to underestimate themselves a lot strain themselves to much when it comes to impressing others or basically making things that will be showned to a lot of people.
The thing is, sometimes, it's also good to take a break. And I don't necessarily mean taking a break in the litteral way, but more like chilling a bit. Trying different things, maybe stepping away a bit from what you always do, and making something less impressive or crazy for once.
I've been following both of your channels for a long time now, and I've noticed that each videos always get crazier and crazier (especially for rat, my went from a pretty cool looking client side mod for waterfalls to making a $50k mod for Mr Beast). But if you take a look at some other content creators, it's not the same. Their content don't get crazier and crazier over time, unlike yours. And I think that's part of why they often seem happier than you do.
What I'm trying to say is that trying to make each video better than the last is not very good for your mental health, and can easily lead to a burnout. So take a step back, breath for a bit, go outside, touch some grass, go for a hike or something and just try to not strain yourself too much.
Love you Knarfy, and love you RAT
i so agree with this, any video RAT makes, i watch it almost instantly, and even repeat it a few times.
Even if you do quit man, that space video is and always will be beautiful and amazing r4t. I am incredibly into space and theories about it, everything about space is just mind blowing to think about! I really deeply loved that video! I do encourage you to stay because you do an amazing job on all of your videos and I am itching to see more man!!! Your videos are amazing, so if you need to quit, then do it if you need it, but you will always have an amazing community here waiting for you!!! with Joy and Love -Evan
I'm not even that interested in space and I loved it! So much work had been put in. Rats videos made coding seem like such a fun process that I am now at college considering computer science as a major (currently undecided)
Whatever happens, we love you Rat. Hope everything works out OK. Your videos have been a definite bright spot in my days, so thank you for all the work and time you put in. Best wishes.
Rat mercis pour toute ces vidéos, si tu quitte vraiment sache que tu est une véritable source d’inspiration, mercis pour ces vidéos mille fois plus originale que Mr beast ou autre video
(J’aurais jamais eu l’idée de faire un mod d’outer wilds si complet et ingénieux).
Tu mérites AMPLEMENT tous le repo dont tu as besoin. Bonne chance au meilleur minecraftien français
Brother (or sister or sibling, idk), play a different game. I know you played Outer Wilds recently, but Thor from PirateSoftware has some great advice. Take your break, because you've been running so fast that walking feels like you're standing still. Sit down and take yourself away from the screen. Hate to say it, but touch grass!!!!
Go on a vacation, go to a nice place, somewhere picturesque. Take care of yourself, we will always be right here for you, dude.
i must say i can relate a lot to what you’re experiencing, please, take some time off if you need, take some time to decompress and rest
by the way, if you do end up quitting
i’d say it’d be okay for most of us
we’d still have found memories and the aspiration you gave to us, at least i know i would
please, wether the person reading this is r4t or just another viewer, take care of yourself alright ?
you matter and you rock ;p
its perfectly fine whatever your decision is i just hope your doing well and you dont end up worse thats whats important
I reconsidered and started learning java coding and minecraft modding because of you. I don't know and can't enforce what future holds for you but thanks for effecting mine
Hey Rat, I feel you. My girlfriend dumped me like 2 weeks ago and I am still very much affected. I am sad, I don't want to do anything, I don't feel like what I do can bring me back up, when I'm alone the energy I had even moments earlier while I was with friends suddently vanished. But I have made myself a promise, I promised myself to grow out of this, to treat myself better, to become a better person. I force myself to meet with friends, to think of other things, to exit my room and to do stuff. I obviously made little progress, as all of this happenede not so long ago and right at the start of school (just the right moment...) but I treasure the progress I made and force and push myself to make more and be even better.
Well, I vented a bit too, but you get the point. You do what brings you happiness. You do what makes you better. You bring yourself back up. I say this because I know that you can, and me, the other members of the community, your friends and family are here to support you, to help you with whatever exits the maze that is your mind, because we know that whatever you do is what will make you happy.
The convoluted, and often random, ways of the algorithm bringed me to yor videos, but you made me stay.
I believe in you, greetings from Italy!
(hope I didn't mess up english too badly)
Rat, you are one of the most amazing Minecraft creators and modders I have ever seen! You’re probably half the reason I’ve ever considered trying modding. If you need a break, take it! You deserve one, especially after making a giant (speaks New York)off spaceship.
Whatever you do, don't let your work disappear. It has inspired, inspires and will inspire if people can still find it. When creation becomes a burden for me, I need ambitious people like you that go above and beyond to inspire me and broaden my horizons. I appreciate greatly what you ve done and perhaps one day I ll be modding too.
Cheers from a fellow french speaker, stay blessed and take some well earned rest, whatever happens after is anyone's guess
Editor4t is my favorite character in the Rat Cinematic Universe.
I love your content!
Rat, take a break man, take a rest till you are ready. And if you do quit, just remember that your videos have inspired many, to begin their own journeys for modding or maybe just doing youtube themselves in general. I'd even include myself... if my PC could handle modding. Alright Rat? So remember, take a bit to recharge yourself, or if you think it's necessary, just know we'll miss ya when ya go.
R4t, you do whatever you need to do. The amount of passion in your videos is inspiring. I’ve also grappled with not being satisfied with anything constantly but as long as you stay true to yourself things will get better. Sometimes the best moments of my life personally was when I’ve just chilled out and did smth silly. And sometimes you just gotta keep moving forward and recently I’ve been in a similar situation with moving away from ppl but you gotta keep moving forward and letting those small moments carry you through. Sometimes you just gotta remember those good moments for being good. And realize that you have done wonderful things and maybe those projects couldn’t have been done without your friends but they certainly couldn’t have been done without you
we'll always love you man, you have made SO many things, so many... amazing and awesome things. you are one of my favorite content creators, literally ever..!
Hey man, if it’s personal than we’ll support you, don’t force yourself to continue, but we’ll be here if you wanna continue or come back
You are just burned out man! Just take a rest, touch some grass, talk this out with other people that you think or feel that cares for you and supports what you do or can help you with it.
- If you decide to quit, i will respect it, you have gone out of your way to make this much stuff on difrent levels. Now thats some dedicatiıon.
- If you decide to take a break, than have some fun on your break, go and visit new places, buy the thing that you always wanted to or do. But keep in mind that if you dont occasinaly do some modding stuff, your skills *will rot* away, slowly but surely, im am not saying this to pressure you but to make you feel frustated because you are not like your old self.
- If you dont quit or take a break and countie, than try to have as much breathing and relaxing time as much as possible to burnout yourself.
Keep in mind that there a loyal viewers, no, *real people* that actualy support you in anyway they can and love you not just because of your content or what you do but because of you. (If this part kinda sounded weird, yeah im not the best at these XD.)
« Quand tu es fatigué de créer, peut-être as-tu juste besoin d’une pause, pas d’un adieu. »
-Someone that cares for you
(The french quotes translation is "When you're tired of creating, maybe you just need a break, not a goodbye.".)
6:07 What your describing sounds alot like the highs and lows of adhd hyper fixation, 9:31 and to be honest I think that alot of your fans/audience would love to watch videos about even the smaller things, myself included, or even videos showcasing a part of what your working on one part at a time! But whatever you do decide to do, know that we'll support you and your journey to finding your next step!
Another idea I had just, y'know, in case it inspires you, if you did some kind of let's play where you work on slowly add quality of life mods, and you could even have episodic cameos with friends, just creating YOUR perfect Minecraft world/experience (another MC creator Mr.Beardstone has been working on something similar but different)
But regardless, you have our support whether that is shifting UA-cam to be more of a hobby, to leaving UA-cam (vacation or indefinitely or something else)
Just know that your videos are incredible, and no matter what choose to do, I will come back to watch your videos again, especially your Space Odyssey, because you gave me the chance to see what the sunsets look like on other planets, and That is something I won't soon forget! 🥹
So Thank You Rat 🐁🐀!
im not the kind of person that can give advice towards motivation, but if is was in your shoes i would take a break and make a passion project, somthing just for me. you made me play one of the best games i have ever played outer wilds, and i hope you can find a way forward with this headspace.
Yeah, taking a break here might be the best choice, but if he doesn't want to do UA-cam anymore I feel like that's justified.
I've been in a very similar situation. I have several prices of advice, though taking advice from strangers behind a screen is probably a hollow comfort at best.
First, if you do decide to leave, whether permanent or temporary, make a hard decision. The "one more project" keeps on going. It's better to leave an unfinished project than to never leave projects.
Second, the one thing that I've found that never burns you out are people. No matter what, there is always some soul who cares about you.
Third, I thought the same things about my friends. I hated myself for it and it led me down into a pit of depression. This happened some years ago, and I can't remember how I got out of it. But I can tell you that it wasn't a moment. It was a long, long time of trying my best to tell myself that I can feel and others can have positive feelings about me.
Fourth, remember that our lives are limited. My mortality always ticking has been my greatest inspiration. When I started to believe that the end is just the next step, it was a slow but great push to lift me up.
Fifth, remember that you have worth. Not because I say so or anyone compliments you. Not even for being yourself. Because you _can_ be better than the you from yesterday. That potential is an anchor and believing in it carried me through dark thoughts.
I have always loved your videos and loved seeing the fun you and others had, but most importantly you inspired me to learn programming! Next year I will probably be learning programming and it’s sad to hear that you feel like this right now. Do what you think is best. Take a break and come back… or leave. We’ll support your choice. Hope you feel better soon.
You said that you had to do the Next big thing, and I feel that as a Writer, I'll come up with an idea, and then immediately go "Oh, I can do this even better." And expand on the idea, and then I'll be like "Oh, I can do better, that's not good enough." And it's not for anyone, but me, but I look to other writers, and even friends who are storytellers, and I'll go "But I'm not them." Even when the friends have helped me, or those writers inspired me. I get the thing of, people just not having time, and even if you don't mean to, part of you takes it to heart, that you are a bad person for wanting your friend to not be busy, but also feeling like an asshole for wanting to drag your friend from other things. I can't give great advice, because I still struggle with it for moments. What if I'm overbearing, what if they don't like me? And those thoughts are inherently selfish, which isn't bad, but something that's kind of helped me realize Is that, The world doesn't revolve around you, or anyone for that matter, it revolves around the Sun, and the moon revolves around the Earth, and nothing revolves around anyone. And that's okay, because we still can choose to hang around those people, even if they don't revolve around us, and we don't revolve around them. We can Choose.
You're not alone. Everything you talk about in this video are things I recognize in myself, my friends, and in other people talking about things like depression, and impostor syndrome, and burnout, and all kinds of "I have a thing that isn't diagnosed, but I don't have the words for it, and that makes me feel disconnected and alone". There are people who feel the same about their own lives, and there are ways to feel better (or at least a bit less bad). Take your time; you don't owe us anything.
You have always been so opened to us and showed us what are you and minecraft caplable of, you've inspired countless children (me included) to chase your dreams, and theres no harm in trying. The only thing stopping you is the path to your dream, it will be painful, you will sometimes lose motivation, but it's fine, this is a sign that you need rest. So rat, please go and take a rest, you really deserve it and if you are scared of the youtube algorthim don't be. We will always care and love you and your videos. So please take as long as you want. And regarding the fufilment, as you said not everything will be fulfilled in life. You don't have to keep forcing youself to make gigantic ideas which makes you suffer, just do the things that you like! For example the clown scythe video, the project was small but you had fun right? we viewers also had a lot of fun watching it, remember you don't have to make things very intense just to get views, the most important is you having fun in it. Then us viewers wil also have fun with you. Ok this is a lengthy ass paragraph i wish i can write this much for school- But in conclusion rat, please take as much time as you need and remember, have fun with your work, you don't have to suffer for anyone. have a nice day:D
If your not fulfilled, know that with every video, every second of content, you have given people a distraction from their lives thats entertaining, fun, and often inspirational. Never give up, take a break, just remember that people do care about what you do.
Idk if you'll see or even read this but, do whatever you feel is right.
If you wanna reset the universe in minecraft or make a farm, go ahead.
But it seems to me that you suffer from burnout, which means you need to take a break and then return to the youtube grind. The dedicated ones of us will remain waiting for you to return.
I've always loved programing, but at some point a couple of years ago I was doubting if that would be what i wanted to do in life. UA-cam then recomended me the first Snow Mercy video. It was the coolest video i had ever seen. Time and time again, you keep surpassing yourself and, while it's not necesary, just seeing you make all of this crazy things is what keeps making me smile every time i get a discord notification. You have inspired my future career and maybe you stay, maybe you don't, but I'll always remember those videos that inspired me to make mods for games and then programing in general. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
whatever you decide, we, your fans, will support you. A long break, or leaving entirely, we will always support whatever it is that you need to do to put yourself first. For many, you are an inspiration. For many others, you are amazingly entertaining, whatever path you take, we will be behind you, even if it meant never producing a video or content again
The bigger the project the bigger the burnout, always remember the small details matter even if it’s just a bunch of firefly’s in the night sky.❤
if you need to take a brake or leave that's ok don't force yourself to make content trying to do that will only make it worse and if you even need to stop all together that's fine to your mental heath should come before UA-cam and if that means leaving then do that do whatever makes you happy and any good subscriber wold support you on anything you wanted to do because that's what people should do help each other to become happier :) and while i wold like you to keep doing this if you arnt finding this to be good for you then I will support you :)
C'est pas grave de penser à ça! Il faut juste que tu saches, tu nous as inspiré et introduit majorité d'entre nous à faire des mods. Si tu pars, tu auras eu une belle route!
Dude, you've inspired me to work into my own Minecraft projects, it would be such a shame if you really quitted
Yeah... I feel that.
Motivation and the lack thereof is really rough.
You’ve been a great inspiration to my art, and I hope you’re okay! You can work on your own time, and it’s important to make time for yourself! Hope you feel better! -a long time viewer and subscriber
you are an awsome youtuber, I hope you are able to figure yourself out, if you need to step away, or even quit to makesure your mental state is healthy.... In my oppinion the face behind the mask is the most important... I would be sad to see you leave, but if you need it. We support you!
We want what's best for you. If you Need to take a break, take a break. If you need to make content creation a side thing, do that. If you need to quit indefinitely, do that.
sometimes being able to say what’s been on your mind for a while can be very helpful in relieving the negative emotions and or thoughts that have been building up, so I hope that in making this video, you at least felt the tiniest bit better, because some of the things you mentioned were similar things I’ve gone through and talking made me feel better and I just guess I want you, someone I’ll never meet in person because I’m a introverted person who hates mass social gatherings (conventions), to feel a little better about yourself and how you’re moving forward.
Not to overshare under a youtube video but a lot of these things I relate to as someone with bpd, especially when it comes to being jealous in ways im not proud of or not feeling close to friends even when I talk to them every day. Figuring out mentally where I was at helped a lot, and reaching out to friends and such. Dunno if youll see this but maybe something in it could help
Having a burnout myself i just didn't feel like watching this video for two days. You know, it would sound bad but you don't have to know anything. You have a good community, all those millions of people supprot (not a mistake) you. Just do whatever or do nothing, it's up to you before anyone else. Be yourself, no matter who you really are. GL and stay safe
I know I cant say anything that will magic all your problems and worries away but for what its worth, we all like you for you. not for the who you collab with, not for just your biggest production or mod. we like you for you, for how you are. if you arent having a good time doing this, we dont want to force you to continue. take a break, stop if its necessary for your health. we want you to be your best you, and if you ever need us we’ll always be here
If you want to quit, dont feel obligated to stay just to satisfy your fans. Just know we've enjoyed the ride while it lasted, and go on to bigger and better things!
as someone struggeling with imposter syndrom and other mental issues i feel you. but you have to realise that no matter what. i watch your channels for you. not for the minecraft content. if you decided to make a full playtrough of factorio i will still tune in. and i am 100% sure i am not the only one. you impacted me so much you have made a positive influence. and you have blown me away with your creativity and drive to create. if anything i am happy to be able to enjoy your great videos.
I haven’t watched the video yet but your videos are a massive inspiration for me, don’t give up man you’re awesome
14:58 have you talked to your friend about these feelings?
It's totally fair to feel how you feel. How you see yourself may be different from how others feel; however, you're both right in your own ways! You know your limits and what is worth doing while people around you know that you are a great person with a tailored toolkit of skills to make some truly great products. It's not quite correct to compare you to the other modders because everyone has their own "specializations" (what makes their style click; their vibes). Everyone has their style and everyone interprets those styles a bit differently. To many, yours is undeniably very strong when you make a dedicated effort toward a project you care for. :D
You are a part of the communities you don't feel you are REALLY a part of. Despite what you don't have, your skills (even if you found some things easy or natural) outshined hundreds of thousands of other people. I feel similarly to you in a lot of ways and respect your dedication to the vast sea of unmade content. The people that take up your thrilling projects are likely motivated to support and deliver without fail; I see it more as them investing their time and effort for a common interest (your project).
I hope we can agree on this much at least for the sake of your sanity. Also, don't worry so much about what big thing you'll do next, it (with little-to-no doubt) will come naturally if you take your time and explore where you normally don't (be it another game, a new restaurant, or a forgotten, unkept corner of the internet). People like you add a splash of color to people's days in an innovative and heartwarming manner. Please continue with what you love doing and have a lovely day/night, Rat! :)
I'm so sorry if this rubs off as me trying to blindly explain your problems and hand you crappy solutions (I'm probably a bit off on my points), but I genuinely think I have a feeling of where you're coming from and wish to help if I can. I'm hoping that I've helped at least a little.
R4T i hope you know that you genuinely inspired so so many people, i saw the effective mod when my friend sent me a modpack and i have just loved everything you have made since, they are so so fun, and if you need a break, you can take one, i dont think any of your fans would be upset.
Do what makes you feel best.
Love you man
Im gonna be honest, a friend kinda started modding cuz of this (of course in a smaller scale with mcreator etc) and cuz of that and seeing these videos i also kinda started using blockbench, mcreator, fabric. So yeah if you quit it would be incredibly sad BUT everyone will understand myself included. Take a break and do something else XD. :) i wish you a nice day and ill continue watching the video now. Good luck :)
Rat, whatever happens, whether you keep going, you take a break or you quit and go do something else, We will ALWAYS support you in everything.
Life should be happy and fulfilling so do what makes you happy, your life is for you to live and to enjoy.
Your videos have have made me and like a million other people happy, and that is so much more than anyone can ever dream of. You are a great inspiration to people, in fact you are the reason why i picked up art again!
The only way we could ever thank you is to encourage and support you in what you chose to do.
So please take this as us wishing you luck in whatever you chose to do
good luck Rat :)
Hey Rat, anyways I saw your vids and they're pretty fun! I do understand what u feel rn and its stress, u have been putting pressure on urself and u keep thinking abt losing ur friends. The way I cope with it is by talking/hanging out with them or thinking abt having ur friends instead of losing them, u should also tell them how u feel because that will help you get it off the back of your mind, don't put pressure on urself ok? Hope ur fine
I honestly love watching you make anything. My favorite part of your videos are watching you laugh and run away from explosions or gush about the cool little details of the mods you make. I noticed you started making bigger and bigger things, and that solar system thing was absolutely massive. It was absolutely amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I love it more when I can see you just running around having fun testing your mods. I hope you are able to take a much needed break, and whether you do massive mods or just make a silly little ones, I think I can speak for everyone when I say we love watching you have fun. Modding is an art, like painting is an art. I’m an artist and I get burnt out often so I think I might know a little part of what you’re feeling. You make incredible things. Big and small, and you don’t need to always one up yourself. It’s a never ending battle that, if you don’t have a healthy plan to keep yourself from burning out, can destroy your self esteem. You should take care of yourself. We all care about you rat, and we will be here to watch and enjoy your videos no matter what you make.
If your friends didn’t like you, they won’t hangout with you. Rat, I don’t think you realize this but people like you for who you are. Everytime I watch your videos I see you having fun, messing around with bugs and testing. At the end of videos you show off what you have accomplished to your friends. What ever you do for now on, we support you!!! We are here with you to the end!!!
I found you in 2021 and you slowly became one my favorite youtubers. I went on vacation a few years ago and saw that you uploaded a new video being your first CSMP video. When I was on vacation, I was super exited to see it and when I got back home and watched it, I loved it. I loved it so much I made a little modded server with a few friends. That server died after a little while, but I got a new love of making minecraft modpacks. Around a year passes and I joined a modded server because I really liked modding minecraft. From that I met people I talk to nearly every day. Basically, what I am saying is I would not have met my friends or had a passion for modding minecraft if it weren't for you. Thank you for that!
Rat thanks for all your work i still smile every time i watch your vids i love love craft and horror stuff and youve nailed it all. Do what you need brother.
You’re an awesome and amazing guy, rat. I love watching your videos when I come home from a long stressful day of work. Burnout is the worst, and I hope you take as much time as you need. Please get better!! ❤❤❤
❤
I followed the Nomai probe and listened to you talk from the heart and I'm glad that you managed to get this off your chest and into the world. Keeping it in can be hard to live with.
I've seen someone talk about this too but going into space in Outer Wilds and just taking in the ambiance and taking time to be alone with your thoughts between you and the vacuum of space is a nice way to sort out and address or just acknowledge some important but quiet thoughts that really need some healthy silence to speak out (not the midnight bed silence type).
I made sure to spend some time after that thinking about things and yeah.
Your creations definitely touched me in a way similar to how Outer Wilds did - and we both know that's high praise haha. You're a wonderful and inspiring individual and I'm happy and glad that you've managed to nurture such a supportive and well-meaning community. Take care Rat :3 ❤
You know that as long as you explain your absence whatever you feel comfortable letting you take a break is good.
Never let people push yourself to stress. Be who you want to be and don't let people say otherwise.
RAT, it's okay if you want to have a break, you need it. We will always be here, and will support you no matter what. If you quit, it'll be sad for us, but it was your choice. People needs breaks, and that's Alright. You can take a break. (you gave me a heartattack tbh, but if you need a break, you can always take one
As someone who has been burnt out before, I can say, recharge your batteries, but if you decide to be done, have fun with whatever you go to insted and know what you've done for the minecraft/modding community.
whatever you do, we will always be there, we will remember you, you made my days like a year ago I watched most of you videos cuz I loved your style, of making content, mods, jokes and more. you Inspired me to start trying to do minecraft mods and you showed me mods that I actually wanted to play with. just letting you know, you are my idol.
My man... You're just having a burn out!
Relax and try to be focused on something you like like your friends
Because we're your fans and we love you no matter what!
If you are feeling overwhelmed just lay off it! We're fine I promise
We will all be fine k? Just take care of yourself first.
I wanted to first say that you shall do what you are comfortable with... but I just can't, you are just the only thing that makes me think of making my own SMP with mods, and kind of... just to play Minecraft... Please don't leave us here to suffer in a world where every idea was already thinked of.
im not exactly sure what would help because i dont exactly know everything about your situation but i find that finding a new hobby can often really help in these situations (preferably a hobby that involves some sort of physical activity or having to go outside for it) i found rental karting and sim racing to be really fun but they are both really deep rabbit holes that i will only recommend to go down if youre ready to put in a lot of effort, if finding a new hobby doesn't help then its up to you.
love your content, ty for the inspiration and the awesome ideas! take a break whenever you feel like it, you deserve whatever you've built and also a life outside it
Je te suis depuis un petit moment déjà, j'ai toujours adoré ton contenue, j'ai toujours affirmé que cette chaine était ma préféré parmi la communauté Minecraft entière, tout d'abord cette vidéo m'a fait du bien honnêtement, malgré mon plutôt jeune âge je me retrouve beaucoup dans se que tu as dit pendant ta vidéo, le fait d'être mit a l'écart etc.. merci tout d'abord pour cette vidéos qui m'a réchauffé le cœur.
Ensuite il n'y a en aucun cas besoin de se casser l'esprit a se demander si on doit faire une pause ou pas, si tu en as besoin alors fait le, parce que si se n'est pas fait se sera de pire en pire, je voudrais aussi revenir sur un moment de la vidéo ou tu dit que tu es trop timide pour aller voir un psy, je l'était aussi mais je te le recommande franchement, ça m'a beaucoup aidé, j'ai eu du mal au début beaucoup de mal, il faut aussi en trouver un qui est bien et qui convient, bref j'espère que tu verra ce message, en tout cas repose toi si tu en as besoin et surtout je tenais a te dire que T'ES LE MEILLEUR :D
Even tho we will all miss your great videos,u should do what u think is best for ur mental and physical health and if ur not sure take a long break to relax and think over your youtube career
I'm commenting this only 5 minutes in, but what I'm getting from this is that so far for you content creation and modding has started becoming stale or boring for you? It seems like you've also been struggling mentally too, I can hear it a bit in your voice actually, and I hope you start feeling better. Whether you quit or not, take a break or not, whatever you do, we will be here to support you along the way RAT
Edit: I've listened a bit more, and I've gone through similar feelings, it is in a sense paranoia and anxiety, maybe a bit of depression mixed in. It just makes me want to reach out to you and help you cuz I've gone through a somewhat similar thing
I’m genuinely sorry to hear all this, go wherever you feel is the correct path, whatever that may be
I’ve been watching you for I think 2 years now or so (I have the original rat maid plush but sadly missed the second one, third is on the way!) I love your videos and honestly getting a notification from your channel has always made my day so so much. I usually see them quite quickly (Main channel, I know I was this a bit late ;w;) but even so my cousin still sends me the video immediately and I like breaking them into parts to watch while I eat since UA-cam has kinda become an ocd ritual while I eat. Anyways, Love the videos and as someone who suffers with diagnosed depression and 2 anxiety disorders I understand the feeling of helplessness. I dont know much about content creation or how making UA-cam videos so I can’t say I fully understand the struggles that come with it but I believe in whatever you choose. If you feel comfortable continuing id be really happy as your videos are so so inspiring to me but if not I completely understand and your healthy (Physical, mental, emotional) should be the top priority. Much love and I hope you’re feeling better!
I know people with feelings like you have and i kind of understand your problems. I'm not a certified psychologist but i know you should persuade yourself to value what you've done. Don't bother thinking that you are worse or better than someone. There are always people that are more and less skillful than you.
Be happy with what you have : people around you and health.
And even if you are really introvertive try to open yourself in front of people you love and trust. It always makes things better.
Wish you a good life. ❤
Rat, you have inspired me and so many others to get into modding and even if I am in my own creative slump I still think you've done your best, you are enough and we love you as your community and fellow modders. If you do decide to leave you can come back whenever you want there will always be a place for you here.
Divertir les gens sur internet est une chose , mais le premier truc a faire a cela s'applique a tout les métier c'est de pensée d'abord a soi pour par la suite faire ce qu'on aime le plus longtemps possible ! Toute t'est vidéos sont très inspirante , et voir ce qui est possible sur minecraft avec du talent mais surtout beaucoup de travail et toujours quelque chose d'incroyable vu comment tu repousse toujours plus les limites du jeux ! Pour finir je sait que tu a une énorme fan base en anglais , mais je veux moi aussi t'apporter mon soutient en français !
Hey r4t !
As someone not really from the minecraft community (i watch minecraft content almost only when i get stuck in my 2 week minecraft phase) i discovered your videos with the content SMP and loved your work immediatelly. It inspired me to try learning to code minecraft mod but i dropped fast unfortunatelly because of how many steps you have to go through and learn before finally starting to code a single thing. But your videos were always a way for me to discover what would a top modding experience would look like and i am always amazed by your work.
Just yesterday (because yes i am in my 2 week minecraft phase again) i thought "Hey did i miss a r4t video ? maybe there is a new one out" and saw you didn't post but i realized that for me you are my go to minecraft content creator for a quality and fun content.
J'espère que tu comprend que tu a ta place dans la communauté et que tu fais un boulot incroyable !
Hey man, if you need it take a break. Let your brain reset, if you think its possible, and then decide if UA-cam is worth continuing or not. And if it ain't, at least tell us. I'm sure a large portion of your community will follow you into whatever you do next.
As for what you do if you continue UA-cam, i can't really speak for the future, but i can speak for the past, and myself. If after that reset you feel like going back to the smaller mods, fucking do it. I love those little fun videos and I'm sure plenty of the newer fanbase will too.
Perhaps I'm misreading the situation, a UA-cam video ain't exactly enough to get a full feel for the situation, and obviously your personal life has an effect that you probably shouldn't disclose online. I just know how burnout can be, and sometimes you just gotta let the mind rest. You're mind can solve some absolutely fucked up problems without even trying. You just got give it time to not try.
Damn bro that's a shame...i only stumbled on your channel recently and i really enjoy it.
Oh well..i hope things get better for you dude, good luck with whatever you decide to do
take a break if you need. you're my favorite minecraft youtuber, but i think its best if you are happy when you do your videos. take a break as needed, if you come back we will be happy to see you back, if not, you made excellent videos and inspired many.
I only found your channel after the blimp thing in context smp and you quickly became one of my favorite Minecraft UA-camrs. I loved all the characters and the emotional driven story. I loved all the awesome mods you made. If you need to take a break, you have more than earned it.
