    Completly agree with you on your points about playing tarkov. It’s great to see variety on stream and on the UA-cam as well. But your tarkov streams and videos do have a complete unique twist on them which makes them very enjoyable to watch. Not to mention your community is top tier as well. Catch you on the next stream dude!

    Hex! I was wondering what any tips you would have for someone trying to do the same. I enjoy video games but I always enjoy what I enjoy in the moment. I have thought about doing something similar but I am just curious if you had anything that you would recommend and or not recommend? It is not about the views. It is about recording the joy I get from these games. People question me all the time what is so great about gaming. I then blankly stare off into the sunset because I cannot describe how I feel when; I win a 1v5, when I complete a terrifying raid, when I enjoy cruising throughout the streets with my close online friends. The moments. That is what I am about.
    I appreciate you for your honesty.

      Wouldn't say a lot.
      Every friend that I played tarkov with has gone down the list of cheap, shameless clones, praising it like they do every cod release and anything else that gets marketed.
      Then it doesn't work, they all quit it in 3 or 4 days and go to the next one and restart the cycle.
      Most people are brainless. Most people just follow the hype, unaware of the drool leaking down their chins as they type in their card info.
      They'll go back when or if these copies stop releasing weekly, unpolished clones.

Luckily you're a tad bit better than aqua, though that's not saying much. Also, Nikita doesn't care how many people are playing his game, there are no microtransactions. He cares about how many people buy unheard, if you want to send a message to Nikita boycotting wont do anything, not buying unheard will.

    big respect for your stance on the whole BSG shenanigans, we're all just gamers trying to have a fun time.
    You looked so cute in your Incendiary shirt that I just had to buy one for myself off of some dude on depop. It smells like cigarettes but I support NYHC so I don't really mind.
    Im also wearing one of your shirts as I type this comment. Why are you so good at selling t shirts to me Hex, I really don't get it.

    Finally, some streamer said that. Its just a game, and if you don't like the new edition, simply vote with your money and don't buy it lol

      tbh i think most streamers feel that way. ive at least heard it from jesse kazam, veritas and aqua - its mainly some psychos in chat who dont haha
