- I wanted to share my story with you about my struggles and accomplishments when it comes to life, family, gaming and content creation.
Thank you all for the love and support!
Just know you are not alone. Video games can be an outlet and help us get through the struggles we face in life but to much of any one thing can be bad for us as well.
I want to thank @RetroWolf88 and @MortsGarage for being a huge inspiration in the making of this video and sharing my story.

Thanks!
Dude I have massive respect for you for putting yourself out there like this and sharing your story and your troubles! I hope this video inspires people to know they CAN make a positive change in their lives it is never too late. Thabks for making this video brotha!
Thank you for always being so supportive dude it means so much and I’m glad you liked it. Thank you for giving me the push I needed to make something like this and I do hope it helps at least 1 person
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. Life is epically tough and it's okay not to be okay. I have had my battles with depression, weight gain, weight loss and pretty tragic self-esteem issues.
Gaming saved me, it saved me from myself. When I started 4-5 years ago I was at an all-time low. Just going through the paces and barely getting through the day. You're right though, it needs to be in moderation and it can't be all consuming because that in and of itself is damaging as well.
I'm happy you're sharing this message! Hopefully it finds anybody and everybody that needs to hear it ❤
Omg thank you for this. I really appreciate you guys and your such a big part of the community. Thank you for sharing things that you’ve gone through I know it’s never easy but I just wanna be able to help somebody out there that was dealing with the same shit we’ve dealt with because it’s not easy especially when you feel alone or that nobody’s there for you. Thank you so much for watching it means a lot 😊🙏❤️
Thanks for sharing your story and taking the time to lay it out there. Seems like you‘ve come through some of the worst. Glad to see you thriving and growing. Keep going strong 👊
Thank you brother I really appreciate that. Your “I was afraid “ video was a huge inspiration to me and it’s still my favorite video you’ve done it definitely hit home and hit hard and I appreciated it very much so. Thank you for all the support it means so much my friend 😊🙏
I definitely have felt this way at very many points in life, where there is just no drive to do anything outside of the daily routine of work and working out wasnt a priority. I Just started to think about how to make healthier choices, but glad you have gone in the right direction and being healthier is such a great feeling. I need to put in the work and get in better shape! Thanks for sharing bro ❤
Bro thank you for watching and the kind words and all you do for the community. Means the world to me 🙏
This is such a strong message to relay to those in a similar boat (or even just a reminder about health in general). It's never too late to make that change for a better future. Thank you for sharing your story with us man!
Thank you for watching brother I really appreciate you dude 🙏
As a skinny nerd in the 80s, I didn't really have the health issues you did. I did have more than my fair share of bullying though so I know how tough that was. I love your content but moreso, you seem like a standout genuinely good guy and that's what I enjoy seeing too. You've got a family that loves you and you share that love back - doesn't matter how big your channel gets, they'll always be #1 in your eyes as it should be.
Thank you so much James means a lot dude 😊🙏
Amazing video.
Thank you 😊
Hope to see you live-stream sometime
Very soon 😊
@@RectWizard hey man, I’m humbled by your journey and I hope you know your not alone. I’m someone who struggled with weight and anxiety for years. I don’t have kids but having a wonderful fiancée and a life with her is what motivated me make a change in life with my own issues. So I have a basic understanding of wanting to escape the nasty side of life and the people who just want to tear you down. You’re a good man, a good father, and we all enjoy your content. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share your story with your community on here!
Also I’m 30 so we’re around the same age (I graduated in 2011). So I understand the era of gaming you mentioned earlier in the video.
We love you, buddy!! Thank you for talking about this. You’re an inspiration
Thank you Carl I appreciate that brotha! Means a lot to me ❤️🙏😊
@@RectWizard anytime!! Keep being who you are 💪
Man I feel this one a special level. Thanks for sharing this story... You are not alone and although my struggle with weight is not to the same extend I can relate on not feeling good and not being happy with where I am at. However I always have tomorrow to make a change and everyday after, so thank you.
Your very welcome 😊
Dude, I am absolutely humbled that you enjoy my content. I'm just a little UA-camr trying to make it in the world like everybody else. To bring joy to the collecting scene makes me happy. I also have dealt with weight issues and depression for a very long time so I understand where you're coming from and the strength needed to persevere. Thanks for putting your heart out there in this video man!
Dude Ever since I did that tear video where I ranked all of the UA-camrs I have been binge watching your content like a show on Netflix and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it I think you are a fantastic creator I wish I would’ve started watching you more a long time ago. I’m very glad we’ve met and hopefully one day we can go hunting together in person but I’m glad you enjoyed the video thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch it it means the world. We should do a video together someday I’m always down for collaborations 🙏😊
So much respect for putting this out there. Our channel has been open about Jared’s battle with addiction and road to recovery. It’s hard because YT trains its creators to only worry about metrics, but we forget that we have a platform that can genuinely help others.
Addiction can be a bitch dude and it’s so hard to overcome but when you do there is no better feeling of accomplishment. I’m so very proud of Jared cause I know that shit wasn’t easy and it’s a battle everyday. Thank you both for being such a great, funny, and genuine pillar in the community. We definitely need more people like you in this world 🙏😊
love u bestie
❤️ love you more
What a kick ass video man. Very inspiring! Keep it up! 🤟
Thank you so so much 🙏
Wow man this was really inspiring thank you so Mutch for sharing this I’m currently in the same boat minus the depression and all of that although I did used to have that but my weight is kinda bad I’m not super fat or obese it’s just that I’m overweight and trying to keep myself healthy but I’m slowly getting just wanted to say that your the best UA-camr that I know of and I’m still thinking about joining UA-cam to make content because I really want to join the retro game community I am a HUGE fan of video games and retro video games so I would love to join but I can’t thank you enough rect for sharing this life comes at us hard sometimes we all been there but I’m really glad that your doing well just wto let you know that your my favorite retro video game channel ever I would really love to talk to you sometime if you would be ok with that still trying to find that discord server so we can talk but remember your the best
