    Genuinely one of the most deserved 100ks ive ever seen. You’re genuinely one of the funniest, and genuine dudes ive met on this site.
    Congrats! And here’s to many more!

    My favorite thing about your channel are your thumbnails. They have a very good artstyle that makes me immediately recognize that it's one of your videos, and they convey well what the video are. Well done.

    First off, congrats on the 100k! It's been super interesting following your progression and how you've bee getting better, and you totally deserve it!
    With that out of the way, when you brought up the variety thing you kinda have to make the decision if that something you want to invest in, and then commit to that decision. Maybe it's no duh, but if you want to carry your analytical casual perspective to something else that interests you, it might be worth trying, kinda like how fsoas did a bad weapon academy for a doom weapon. Now, you did mention that you feel that a lot of other games don't allow for creativity the way tf2 does either because of all the sweating or the way the game is designed itself, but (if it's something you would want to try) my responses to that would be that you could bring it. If we truly believe that people want to go back to a time before MMR (which I think you're right about), then there really could be a market for taking your style (and by extension the tf2 style) to other games/niches.
    Now, all of that is predicated on you actually wanting to go in that direction and expand outside of tf2. If you either think it's not worth the effort or would rather push harder towards catching the new tf2 wave and pushing the chucklenuts forward with everything you have, that makes total sense too. From my armchair youtuber perspective both direction have merit, potential, and you could (and I think will) be very successful in them, it's just a matter of deciding what's important to you or what you truly believe in, or maybe just which direction you would find most satisfying creatively. Either way I'd encourage you to keep finding people (like the chucklenuts) to work through this with, as even in fields that aren't as potentially isolating as internet content creation having people you trust and respect to just bounce ideas off of or hold you accountable is really important.
    Or maybe I've listened to one too many audiobooks, just figured I'd put it out there. :p

    The fact that you can still find new and interesting topics as a TF2 channel and make them insanely entertaining and most importantly, rewatchable, is incredible. Take your time don't burn out just do what you want to do, it's gonna be great.

    You are doing great on youtube, you cannot compare yourselves with others, because there are a lot of hidden factors in youtube which influence viewer count, and it isn't always about thumbnails, high click through can also mean people know you for good content, and there are a lot of other things that I could go into but, it's mostly the small things. If you do good on youtube, then that means you make content that people want to watch. ❤ I hope you don't fall into the pits of imposter syndrome again. If that didn't get the message through, then let me tell you plainly, I like your content and watch your videos to get genuine enjoyment. You are a skilled creator, and a very low percentage of channels will ever get to 100k and even match the quality of content.

    2 days ago I got back into TF2 for the first time since Jungle Inferno's release and you're the first tf2 channel i found to watch. UA-cam preferred you, a channel ive not seen before, over Uncle Dane.
    I am not dissapointed. Your content is A-1, very entertaining. Keep up the awesom work, Blue.

    Weapon Reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, reskins usually look like they would function differently from their counterpart. And I've always thought it would be neat if cool looking weapons like the maul had more of an identity than "Its the Homewrecker but for rich people" So I took a large number of weapon reskins currently available in the game and gave them their own set of stats ranging from "Slightly modified sidegrade to the original" to "Completely new weapon idea that's not balanced at all but a ton of fun."
    For this video at least I'm only going to be modifying weapons that are relatively cheap and easily obtainable so it can keep the pay 2 win to a minimum. Basically if its under a key in backpack.tf (tm) or it's directly craftable then its gonna be fair game. I'm also not going to be touching the Original, either of the pyroland weapons, or the Holy Mackerel since even though they're technically reskins, they have enough unique functions that make them notably different from their counterparts. All right lets go.
    The Three-Rune blade is a really cool looking weapon that just doesn't do it for me. Like sure if you hit somebody with a sword in real life they're probably gonna bleed. But if you made a sword that's so poorly weighted that you're guaranteed to hit yourself if you miss your target then you'd probably be better off not even forging the sword in the first place and just hurling chunks of iron at people. So hear me out, we've already got Demoknight but we don't have Scoutknight. I've always thought it would be really cool if the Three-rune made scout functioned kinda like Demoknight. You have a lot more health, better damage and range, and a slight movement speed buff in exchange for scout taking his medieval roleplay very seriously and refusing to use any non-medieval weapons. Scoutknight would effectively be a sidegrade to Demoknight by trading off health and shield resistances for better movement and secondary utility. I'm actually surprised we don't have a second melee subclass in TF2 already with how much time went into Demoknight. And the Three-rune seems like the most obvious weapon change to make to make that a reality.
    The Holy Mackerel is notably different enough from stock because the killfeed tracking hits function. However, the Unarmed Combat does basically the same thing as the Holy Mackerel so it does count as a reskin. The Unarmed Combat's basically a meme weapon so I'm not too concerned about making it competitively viable or anything, but I do wanna make it fulfill its role as a funny weapon by giving it funny stats. Since you're slapping people around, why not give it a knockback effect. The knockback wouldn't be much, but you'd be able to get kills with this pretty well just by juggling people around. It would be kinda annoying to fight against but the idea of slapping people off a cliff is funny to me, so I personally like the changes regardless of how effective they may be.
    The Nostromo Napalmer is technically not a reskin from stock because if you have the entire item set equipped you do more damage against scouts who are wearing the entire alien set, but only like 5 people have ever gotten use out of that specific stat so I'm willing to make an exception. Most of the flamethrowers right now reward you for being as close to your target as possible. So I thought it would be interesting to make a flamethrower that's the opposite, where it has increased flame distance but reverse falloff so you have to keep your target at the maximum possible distance to get the most damage. The increased flame speed would also give the flames more range since their calculation is based on time in the air instead of distance, so essentially its not as much of an ambush tool as much as it is a spacing tool. I have no idea how good or bad this would end up being because its such an "out there" concept, but I think this would be more of a high skill ceiling flamethrower to add to the game, and it would also work well in the Nostromo due to how the original version works in Alien.
    The Postal Pummeler has such a random design for an Axtinguisher reskin. Like sure, a mailbox as a melee is cool and all, but why make it a reskin to the Axtinguisher of all things. So if not an Axtinguisher reskin, what would a mailbox do? Mail has to travel to reach its destination and a lot of mail travels by air and yeah this is a pyro market gardener. There's not much explanation with this one, the only thing in note is that I added a deploy speed bonus to both negate the jetpack's long holster animation and to give you more time to hit targets with the detonator's smaller jumps. Other than that, I feel like pyro could use a market gardener and these are stats that would be a lot of fun in TF2. And it would make it doubly function by making the mailbox theme make more sense.
    The Maul is another really cool looking weapon that ends up being boring because of its stats. Because of how futuristic this thing looks, I'd expect it to do something more high-tech than just being a building smasher. So what if we inverted the homewrecker's damage against enemy buildings to provide buffs to friendly buildings instead? What I'm thinking for the Maul is that you'd be able to whack friendly buildings to make them operate a little bit faster. That means sentries would fire faster, dispensers would regenrate ammo and heal faster, and teleporters would take a little bit less time to recharge. This is of course a significant buff to Engineers, so just to make it a bit harder to keep buildings overclocked, the firing speed penalty would probably be necessary. Pybro's currently a great niche that's limited to a single weapon type, and since teamwork based playstyles should be widely encouraged in a game called "Team Fortress 2", getting pyros more option to help out friendly engineers would be a super great addition.
    The Bootlegger and the Wee Bootie's are 2 weapons that only exist because of their item sets. But even though the Wee Bootie's are consistent with its set, the Bootlegger doesn't really make sense in its context because its set doesn't really work well with any of the shields. So, what if we made it work with Stickyjumping? The new bootleg would effectively be a combination between the Manntreads and the Gunboats, but the Demoman instead of the Soldier. I don't think this really needs that much explanation since there are already similar weapons in the game that you can use as an example if you would wanna imagine how these would work, but having the bootlegger be demoman gunboats would both make a lot of sense and appease a lot of community members, so I think that's a good route to take with them.
    So then what would the Scottish Handshake be since its part of the same set as the Bootlegger? Yeah, its the demoman market gardener, pretty much copy and pasted from soldier. There are way too many reasons why this makes sense and I'm not the first nor last to come up with this idea, but I will get it out there that I thought about this change years ago before it became popuralized, so yay for being a hipster I guess.Overall making this set focus more on stickyjumping would give demo the proper counterpart to soldier's airborne armament set, which I think the game could certainly use.
    The Nessie's Nine Iron makes no sense because it completely ignores its source material. In the obscure indie game called "Golf", you don't use golf clubs as swords, even though it would probably make the sport much more entertaining to watch. Golf clubs are used to hit a ball to make it go flying into the air. So the Nessie's Nine Iron should be able to hit players to make them go flying in the air. Basically I'm changing this from an Eyelander that can collect heads to a knockback based sword that also has a sandman projectile built in. Demoknight option that has a launchable projectile would make for a very unique playstyle, since even though you're sacrificing a big chunk of your damage, the projectile range and ability to control what direction players are launched in would make this weapon pair incredibly well with hazard heavy maps. This one is definitely "out there" as far as the stats go and I'm not sure how effective it would even end up being, but it would be a lot of fun to use if nothing else.
    The Fishcake is a heavy lunchbox that for whatever reason is way more obscure than it really deserves to be, like I'm pretty sure I had a thousand hours in TF2 before I even realized that this existed. So to aid weapons that have become victims of obscurity, we should give this poor fish a reason to be used. My thought with the fishcake is that instead of granting heavy max health to make further fights go better, it should instead grant him a passive health regeneration over the course of 30 seconds, which will also accomplish something similar. 100 health instantly and 8 health per second makes this heal a total of 340 hp, but it does give it back to you slowly meaning that you also have some passive regen during your next combat. I can see this being pretty strong depending on how we tweak the numbers, but I mean cmon, its an obscure reskin of an already bad item, it deserves to have a spot in the line light for at least a little bit.

    A nitpick or a valid criticism that constantly come up with your videos is that the ongoing topic and the ongoing clip don't match, leaving a weird disconnect and lack of conveying a point. Which is mitigated by collecting specific clips for the script instead of using what you already have (I believe muselk does this approach too)

    Thoughts on the video:
    runs a bit long
    when he starts talking about other games I instantly think of minecraft then he denies it so _ /\ o /\ _
    You could still try minecraft, but you have denied it so idk if any of this is interesting.
    Modpacks
    Challenges (tricks that would seem impossible at first glance but use game mechanics to still do it)
    Talk about some specific minecraft MMORPG setups (lol i do play a lot on an mmorpg tbh so i can say monumenta and hypixel skyblock can be fun, (use le google for more info) )
    Roleplay or SMP?
    You could try asking other members of the community who also play MC (probably more longer term viewers) for ideas because this is just the things off of the top of my head which I thought might fit to you.
    You could do viewer interactions: eg "128 players in a box" (this needs depth that I am too lazy to come up with)
    The chucklenuts channel could become popular if you could do new style of content with a couple of pro players hoppin into a casual match of tf2 and talking about stuff? maybe good? also if you do then keep game interruptions in the vid they make it interesting to video watchers but do lose on some podcast watchers.
