YouTuber Opens Up About Losing Motivation and Confidence After Five Weeks Away

After five weeks without uploading, a YouTuber admits their motivation and confidence in their content have dropped to zero. They describe stepping away to enjoy life and touch grass, then attempt a casual chat video despite constant distractions.

I Am Bad At YouTube Now.. | Transcript:

It has been 5 weeks since I last uploaded on YouTube. And honestly, in that time, I have done hardly any work on this channel. My motivation's just been zero. My confidence in my content has been pretty much zero as well. And to be honest, I've just been out there touching grass and just enjoying life for a little bit, fully retired. Now, this video might end up being a little bit longer, and I just wanted to be like a casual chat. So, I'm going to work on some Huh? Did you see you saw that as well, right? This is going to be hard. There's going to be too many distractions. I knew this was a terrible idea. Anyway, but what I was trying to say was I'm going to work on some Minecraft vanilla world stuff

just while I casually talk to you. Think of this as like a DanTDM podcast. I'll put um sections in the description box below so you can skip around if you want to or just stick it on, enjoy some Minecraft, and listen to me vent my feelings. And I'd love to get your thoughts on the things I say in the comment section down below as well. I just need to think what I'm actually going to do here. There's a few things I needed to do. One of them being fixing this monstrosity. Oh my word. I've seen some stuff on Twitter about, you know, um, Hermitcraft ending their season and looking at things like Mumbo's house and then I and then I walk into this.

Oh god, I'm a failure. I've only had like 15 years to practice. I'm a failure. Anyway, I've got a lot to get through. So, let's talk while I try and do this. It's going to be impossible. Literally impossible. And it's night time. Fantastic. But yeah, I got a lot to get through. Let's do this first off. Hey, Fungo. Let's go, buddy. Let's race each other to bed. That sounds weird, but basically Yeah. But yeah, what have I been up to? Well, basically, I have been outside a lot. So, I have spent a lot of my life inside. I'm just a bit of a hermit, I guess. Uh, and working on this channel. Spent a lot of time inside doing stuff. So, I have found a new love

for being in the outside world, which is great. I've taken up cycling. I started with running, hurt myself. So, I got on the bike and I haven't stopped. I've been cycling for like I feel like it's at least 6 months, maybe a year. But, I love it. It's my way to get out and just kind of be in nature for a bit. My legs hurt, but I'm enjoying it. It's been really fun. Also, my son is massively into football, so we have been taking him. So, basically, he does school 5 days a week, obviously. That's standard. And then at the weekends, he

does football. So, he has like training and matches Saturday and Sunday. So, that doesn't leave a lot of other time, does it? It's It's crazy, but I absolutely love it. I love that he's into football. I used to play football when I was younger as well. And I loved it. Again, trying to promote being outside and being just healthy and not trying to pick up habits that I used to have as a kid, which was staying inside a lot and just not looking after myself, I guess, because it kind of spilled into being an adult.

I just rather be at home. Wait, how am I going to do this? Does this work? kind of. Yeah, I want them to love being outside and have a good balance between like inside time probably watching football and having outside time playing football and do whatever they want to do outside. There's a point as well where I just didn't like being in here because I have the lighting set at a certain kind of light if that makes sense. So, the lighting is consistent every time, which means the room is quite dark, which means I don't I didn't like spending that much time in here because it was making me feel very like I was underground. And again, with my newfound love of the outdoors, I just felt worse off being inside all the time. So,

that's another reason why I haven't been working on anything. Now, how do I get this to go? Is it like this? It's like Whoa, that's definitely not. Is it this? I definitely prefer that to run straight. Ideally, I would get this to kind of like run up next to it. I don't know. How am I going to sort this out? It just looks awful, man. It looks so bad. This pickaxe is too strong as well. Way too strong. I want it to look nice as well, but it's really hard to do that when you've got to have it go through the floor cuz as well I would love it to be able to have like extensions to it. So maybe

I just need to find a new route for this to go up. Could it go up and around this way? So, if I have this one come up here, let's just do that as an example. Having one directly to the side would be perfect. Or maybe even here. Yeah, I think here would be good. Let me try that. Yeah, I've just really Oh, man. I've blocked myself off here as well. But yeah, I've spent a lot of time outside exploring new hobbies and just hanging out with my kids basically. There's this precious time I feel like where I don't know, they're between like one and well when from when they're born until they're teenagers when I just want

to spend as much time with them as possible cuz otherwise I feel like that time is going to run out and I'll look back on it and be like, man, I wish I spent less time working and more time with them. So hopefully, well, I know I am making the right decision right now by prioritizing them cuz I could easily keep grinding away at this channel um and make videos and content and stress about it all the time, but it's just not fun. I'm in a really privileged position to actually really enjoy my job and I don't want to turn it into something I don't like or something that I prioritize over my family life because that doesn't seem healthy to me at all. And I think I'm making the right decision for myself,

but most importantly my family and my kids as well. And it also means it frees me up to pretty much go to anything they want me to. Like if he wants me to go watch football, I can watch all his training. I can go see his matches without anything kind of getting in the way, which is really I feel so privileged to be able to do that. So it' be a waste to not do it, if that makes any sense. So, when I'm not being outside, being active, uh looking after the family, that kind of stuff, I'm I'm playing Pokémon cards, not going to lie, I've taken up cycling and Pokémon cards are um filling up the rest of that time. Did you hear that?

I swear I No. Am I hearing things as well? Man, I am not used to this. I haven't sat down and recorded for so long. I heard something outside. But yeah, Pokemon cards, the thing that got me into YouTube in general has once again become one of my biggest hobbies. Um, yeah. So, I did the video like, is it 2 years ago now? I think it's 2 years ago now where I entered that big European tournament which happened to be uh in London. So, I did that and then I went to the last one as well. And I've just really been enjoying getting back into it because on a deeper level, it's something that I can enjoy without being like without being DanTDM, if that makes sense. Most of the things that I do in my life involve me being

DanTDM. But the Pokémon stuff, it's just something that I can enjoy every week cuz I go to my like local card shop every week and play little tournaments there and stuff. And because I've gone there so often, it's like I'm just Dan who turns up to play Pokémon cards every week rather than, oh, Dan TDM's playing Pokémon. Do you know what I mean? Does that make sense? It sounds weird to say it out loud, but that's how I feel. All right, these should be organized, but where did I put my a rails? Yeah, it's got to the point where obviously like the first time I went to the card shop, everyone was like, "Yo, what are you doing here? you don't belong outside of this room in videos. Why are you in my card shop? But

now I've got a good bunch of friends to play Pokemon cards with. I'm going to go to other countries and play the card game because I just love it that much. And I highly recommend checking out. I know everyone's like on Pokemon cards these days. No, this is going to ruin everything. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, did I just wash away all those? Oh, I just washed away all those. No. Okay. I thought this was going to be chill, man. It's supposed to be chill. This has not gone to plan at all. Now I am dying. Get rid of that. And now I need to get rid of this. Yeah, there we go. I knew this would be a terrible idea

because I can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Wait, why have I got some blocks here still? Oh, wait. Oh, I might be saved. I thought this got rid of everything. Oh, we're good. Yeah, don't worry about it. We're fine. Yeah, I can't focus on more than one thing at a time. I should have just made this a normal sit down video, but I didn't want it to be boring, so I'm trying to play Minecraft at the same time when my thoughts and feelings are messed up. Things are flooding. I'm stressed. Can you tell? Oh, right. I want to put them every Is it every two? Everyone? Everyone. We're doing it like that.

There was definitely some breakage here. Uh where is this? Let's put that here. That works. Yeah. Every two I was going to say everyone feels crazy, but no. Don't don't. Please. No more flooding. Come on, man. Welcome me here. Get out the way. So, this should work. Oh, no. It's night time. It's not night time. I was looking at Blackstone. We're good. We're good for now. So, I need this to be powered. I need probably this to be powered. I don't even know if this is going to look better. But I also need more redstone torches.

Let's go get some more of those. I think this is better though. We've got enough rails. No, we don't. I need another rail. Okay, cool. Another rail coming up. It is night time now. This is perfect. Right. What was I saying? Oh, Pokémon. It's just like something I've always grown up with collecting the cards and then I learned to play the game and then that's where all the YouTube stuff came in. I've always played the game. I took a big break when this channel popped off and I was doing like all the touring and stuff and I just couldn't get to um get to tournaments and do them like I used to, but now I've got the time. I've

really enjoyed it. Like playing a card game is so much fun. You meet loads of new people. You get to travel. And it's mainly just the community for me. like meeting new people, meeting the same people every week, and just playing cards makes me forget about everything else in the world. It's so good. Like, I really enjoy it, and it's a hobby that I recommend to a lot of people. It isn't for everyone, but I think with cards getting so popular now, if you've got Pokémon cards, go learn the game. There's free ways to learn it. There's literally TCG Live, which is a free way to go and learn it. This is not sponsored. This is just what I spend most of my time doing. I'd highly recommend it. It's a great sense of

community. the competitive vibe. It satisfies that as well cuz I do have competitive streak and I feel like I'm actually getting all right here it now that I've played it more. Um I'm going to see how that translates into the real world soon. I've been doing all right in my locals. Uh winning a few of those and maybe just maybe I can start doing well in some bigger tournaments as well which would be nice. But anyway, regardless of that fact, I just love playing it. I love the game. So, outside of everything else, like exercise, taking care of my body, making sure I live to be as old as possible so I can see my kids grow up.

Um, aside from that, Whoa. What are you doing? Oh, of course you've got stuck in here. Come on, man. I'm trying to be organized here and you're just not cooperating. Uh, let's put this here. That works, right? I'm going to need you to move. You're going to need to get out of here. This has turned into like a normal Minecraft episode, isn't it? With some ramblings. Get out. I know you used to live here, but this is not your place anymore. I will drag you out. Right, that does it. I'm getting a lead. And I'm dragging you out for goodness sake. Oh, this guy. Okay, where do I put my leads, though? That is the question.

What? Where would I have put them? Um, do you know what? It has been so long that I've just forgotten where I put everything. Doesn't everything. Yeah, here you go. Right. And I keep running between even though I have this. What am I doing? Oh my word. Right. Get out. Get out right now. This way, buddy. This way. Yeah, I'm not messing around. Can you even get out? Yes, you can. I will close the doors as well. I'll do it. Stop messing me around, sir. Right. Let's try this out. Let's see if this works. I know it will definitely work on the way down.

Will it work on the way back up? That's perfect. So now I've got them in two rows. That's what this is about. Progress. Now see me go back up. Please. Yes. Oh yeah. Perfect. Okay. Job one done. Even though it still looks a bit rough around the edges. No, no, no, no. Stop. I don't need anyone get. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Oh my. Okay, things are going bad. Did you just die? I was going to say, don't die now. I need to go. I need to just quickly sleep. So, good job I pulled him outside. Otherwise, this could have been a Oh god, there's an enderman as well.

An absolute point set. Respawn point set. Are you on the roof? No, there's no way you're on the roof. You're inside, aren't you? Oh, get out, bro. Get out. It's cuz the It's cuz it's raining. Respawn. Oh, thank goodness. Oh, this has been stressful already. Someone else is getting flung over there. I just saw a zombie fly. I swear. Oh my god. Is everyone alive? Please say everyone is alive. Everyone's alive, right? Fungo. Ow. What the No. Fungo is here. Is he trying to get me assassinated or something? What you What's going on here? He's acting like he didn't see anything. That's That's Frosty, man.

It's real frosty. All right. Can we get back to I'm going to look at my bullet point the bullet points. I can't even speak properly. My brain's working too fast. My mouth isn't moving properly. I'm a mess. Anyway, we're back. We have covered um what I've been doing. Cycling, football, hanging with kids, making sure I don't go crazy, making sure I see my family as much as possible. Um Pokémon as well. Oh, yeah. So, after all the Pokémon stuff, when I've got time, I'm going to move this over actually. But it needs to be Does it need to be on a thing? Hold up. Does this need to be I put that here.

What? So, it has to be on a hill. This kind of makes it like less aesthetic. All right, I need to think about this. Uh, black stone. I guess I have got deep slate. But that's not going to work. Wait, why is this? Oh, it's cuz I do it like this, isn't it? There. Delete that. Then it works. Okay, that looks much better. Perfect. Right. Next thing I wanted to cover was the music, which obviously is was the last two videos I uploaded were music themed and on one particular track, which was Villager Lullaby. Have I still got Let me see. I've got some discs over here, I think.

One of these discs. Yeah, look. I still I've got it in the game by accident. I've still got my um my pack on. Let me go play it quick. Hopefully I don't get copyright struck by my own track. That would be awful. That happened to me on Instagram and it was very embarrassing. Where's my jukebox? I don't even have it on me. But yeah, I've I've got it in the game. I've still got it patched. I've actually got two. I just so happen to have the right disc as well. I can't remember which one I replaced. Where's my juke box, man?

I've got a wood storage somewhere. Again, I can't remember where anything is. Here it is. Crank the tune. Yeah, if you haven't seen it yet, then I highly recommend going and checking it out. Uh, I think it's low, actually. Yeah, let's put that on 50. There we go. Um, go and check it out because I tasked myself to make a track for Minecraft because I didn't have any other music that I wanted to make. So, I was like, you know what? I've had this idea for a while. I'll do it. And I actually really enjoyed it. I released it and everything. You should have seen the video that I uploaded previously. Um, if not, go and check it out. I think it's a really good tune and I don't really uh like the stuff I make that

often. So, hopefully you enjoyed it, too. Um, I really want to try and get some more music out. We should probably create like a display for this. Uh, I want to do that actually. Why got so much lava in my inventory? What's happening? Why do I even I'm just going to shove this in here for now. Get in there. Bucket of a puffer fish. I don't know why you guys watch me play Minecraft. I'm just full of like nonsense up in here. Yeah, I want to make some more music soon. I want to make some more lowfi, but I've also I've always written music with like uh

guitar, traditional instruments, piano, that kind of stuff. Ukulele sometimes as well as a ukulele back there somewhere just there next to my Minecraft sword, of course. So, I've always uh written music since I was like or written songs since I was like 12 basically. Uh but I've never been able to sing them because I can't sing, but I'm working on that too. I've taken up singing lessons. I'm trying to learn to sing so I can sing the own my own songs that I write. Don't worry, this is not me taking the classic YouTuber to musician. No, no, no. We're not doing that. But, uh, it's just something I've always wanted to do,

so I'm going to do it. Another thing that's been taking up some more time, but I've been having a blast doing it. So, hopefully some more music soon as well, which hopefully you guys are excited about. And thank you for all the love on the track as well. You guys have been streaming it like crazy, and you seem to really enjoy the video, too. So, that is good. Do I have any leather? Uh, I don't think I do. Do I? That's something I have been missing for a while. Again, I'm Oh, I thought that was a Oh, I do. So, I want to put this disc somewhere. So, my wood is here.

I don't need that. Let's get crafting table going. Didn't even need a crafting table for that, but here we are. There we go. So, yeah, music. Hopefully, it will take a while to It takes me a while to get something that I really like, but when I do, I kind of like fly like with the villager lullabi track. It just kind of happens. And that's my thing with my creativity is I can't force my creativity cuz if I don't like something, I won't work on it. So, if I'm not uploading for a while, that's because I just don't like anything that I'm making. Um, we could put it we put it in the hands of Fungo.

We could Oh, this is actually perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This won't spread to the juke box, though. Will it? I do have another piece of leather and two discs, so I might put it on either side. Yeah, this is perfect. Here. Um, sticks. Yeah, I don't know if anyone else is the same, but if I creatively can't make something, I just can't do it. I don't know why I'm I am lucky that I don't have to force myself to like keep the videos ticking along or anything. So, I understand that is a very privileged point of view, but I just can't do it. I feel like even if I was like a painter or musician, anything like that, I just can't force myself to be creative if I'm not feeling it. So,

if there's any laps in videos, that's why. Yes, that's what I thought. Bungo Jr. now turned to a butcher. He's holding it. That's actually perfect. I need to get a juke box on each side, though. Let's go and do that quickly. I need to look up the recipe. I thought that's what it was. Diamonte, please. We've only got eight diamonds, though. Is this probably not worth spending on, but I'm gonna do it. I don't need that many. One, two. There we go. Well, forgot my bullet points. guess what you guys came for the video for, which is the title of I am bad at YouTube now. And that is kind of something that I've been getting my head around for a while. So now this is mirrored and looks sick. Oh my god, I'm so pleased with that. Yes.

So the title I am bad at YouTube now is I kind of Yeah, something I've been over a few times but in different ways. And YouTube has changed loads since like in between making those videos. I probably make one of these style of videos every year or so. And in between that, YouTube changes loads. And I don't like the way YouTube has changed. But I am someone who did this 12 years ago. So obviously I probably won't like most of the changes cuz I'm old school. But that's okay. If YouTube isn't the same as the way I like it, that's okay. It's just a different way of working now. People make videos in different ways. I mean, the only thing I definitely can be against is the new AI features. Like, I don't know what's

going on there. Like, they've merged AI video creation generation with shorts. Like, what are we doing? Why are we doing that? That doesn't make sense to me, but I could go on about that for ages. But, um, apart from that, yeah, YouTube works in different ways. We had one shift from when shorts were introduced, which I tried for a bit and was all right. And then now it's kind of like I feel like big YouTubers, most of them anyway, have massive teams and have people that come up with ideas for them, uh, thumbnails for them, games for them. Like to be able to have a channel that is massive and pumping out content all the time, you need a team. Uh, you need like TV production scale teams to be

able to even keep up with the quality of gaming videos nowadays. Like even in a genre like that, it's just so hard to keep up. I got a black stone in here. This is going to have to work. Actually, it's deep slay. I always say that, don't I? There we go. And you know what? Uh I just don't like working like that at all. It's just not me. I hate working uh in large teams. I just like doing everything myself. That could be a flaw. I'm not too sure, but it's just how I am. So, I've kind of come to terms with the fact that I just won't be able to keep up with um everyone else. I just won't be able to.

It's impossible with the amount of time that I want to spend in other things like my hobbies and my family life and be able to do those at the best of my ability, especially the family one, and be there as much as possible. I can't keep up. And that is okay. I am fine with that. That doesn't mean that YouTube's in a bad place or whatever. That's all down to opinion. It's just a different way of working that I just can't keep up with. Oh no, my jukebox. Is it actually going to set on fire? I'm on hard, right? Yeah. Oh, this might it might happen cuz it's a wooden object. I could put it in the floor. Or I could make it look like he's holding a jukebox. But then I think it still might catch fire.

This might cause the second great fire historic event in my Minecraft world's history. And I'm not sure that's a good thing. Do we have another button? We do. So, this is now going to be mirrored on each side. That's better. But this is not better. I need Is it this? No. What block is this again? Right. Let's go in the house and figure out. But these tiny little jobs are perfect for this kind of video. But yeah, I've just come to terms with the fact that I am just not going to be able to keep up. And when it comes down to Yeah, that's it. When it comes down to, which I've also mentioned before, playing games the day they're released and stuff. You're not Fungo. What are you doing? Who's this?

Spawn points. Where is Fungo? If he's not here at night time, I get like worried. Where is he? Fungo. I got distracted again. Fungo, where are you, buddy? Huh? Oh, he's chatting. It's okay. He's chatting. Oh, okay. Yeah, this is bad. Stop. Okay, this needs No, Almost lost a diamond then, right? We need a different way for this to work out. I feel like if I put the disc in his hand, it's still going to catch fire and then it would destroy the disc as well. Uh, let's do this. Let me try it at least cuz him holding a like a fiery jukebox could be kind of sick. So, let me see if this works.

Do you know what? I like it. Let's leave that one there as a test cuz I want to see if it catches fire or not. I like it though a lot. But let me stop moving around for a second. Um, so yeah, I am bad at like new age YouTube because I don't keep up with trends. I can't play games to death. Like as soon as a game comes out, uh, what games am I thinking of as an example? things like Ban, uh, Doors, anything that comes out that's like really popular. I can't think of a third one. But those kind of games in those kind of style where it's like first come to complete it, like wins. I don't like that. I don't like working like that. It kind of kills the game for me cuz I feel like I'm

playing it to complete it rather than enjoy the experience of the game. So, I don't want to work like that. So, I'm not going to. That also comes with the downside of the channel not doing as well, the videos not doing as well, and if I do put effort into recording those videos, they're late, so no one's going to watch them because everyone knows what happens in the game. And yeah, just all that kind of stuff. Why does everyone dance there? And again, I'm not complaining. This is just me coming to terms with the fact that I'm okay with that. That's fine. I don't want to do that, so I'm not going to. And that's just not what you're going to get from this channel anymore. I might play other

games. I might play games eventually that I'm interested in. Like I still want to play the Bamb Ban series, but it's just going to be super late. So, if you want the first reaction or first let's plays from me, it's not going to happen. So, I guess that leads me on to what is going to happen. Um, I'm going to find out what these are. They're tiles, right? Let me see. I think those are tiles. Match them up. Yes, sir. So, what is going to happen here is basically I miss playing random games. I built this channel on Minecraft at the beginning, but when I took a break from Minecraft for a bit, I

played other games for like 2 years straight, maybe even three. And I didn't even play Minecraft once. So, I built a lot of this channel on playing random games. And I miss it. I miss playing the random like indie game bangers that you just don't find anymore. So, I'm going to try and find some more. I really enjoy doing these long Minecraft videos, but I just don't have the capacity to film one every week because they take a lot of filming time, a lot of editing time. Once a week just ain't going to cut it. I just can't make the quality of video I want to make in a week's time frame. It's just not going to work.

However, the longer videos do seem to work because I think, well, I see from like the analytics of the channel, lots of you that watch me now are older. Like my viewers when I was pumping out Minecraft videos were I'm going to test this while I talk about this. Um were a lot younger. So like 6 7 8 to 10 maybe. But now I feel like you're in your teens still watching these videos. There might be some younger ones as well. But the majority are teens. Correct me if I'm Whoa. What the What are you No. That's my ride back. What the What are you doing here? Huh? What's going on, lad? Um, how have you ended up here? I'm going to see if I can keep you over here.

Uh, let me push the Ow. No, don't slap me. I'm trying to save your life. I'm saving you for later. You stay over there. But yeah, I'm also like I'm kind of not used to making content for um older viewers. Like, I don't know what you guys want to see. I think it's longer videos. Like, the Minecraft videos are working, but what do you want to see? Wait, what is this? Cobble deep slate. Is that what this is? It looks so different in your inventory. But I guess I'm trying to use this as an opportunity to ask what you want to see because whenever I ask that, people just say make what you want to make, which I

will. But I also want to know what you guys want to see from the channel, too. God, that was a jump scare, wasn't it? So, let me know comment section down below. What do you guys want to see me play? Do you want to see I want to play Minecraft? I want to play random games. I'm probably going to stick Lester series, but I think what I might do is do the first video of a series on this channel and then do the rest on the live channel. I think that would work best. It's still kind of slow. It kind of has the longest way to go up. Look at that. I did it. No, no, no. Every time. Okay. The getting out of the minecart needs work, but both of these are fixed. And that looks neater. I just

need to kind of I need to fix up how it looks. It just looks awful. So bad. Yeah, I'll do the rest of the series like if I want to do a 20our game, for example, that's quite a commitment on the main channel. So, if I do the first video on here and then the rest of the series on the live channel, I feel like that gives them each their own purpose. So, the live is much more long let's plays and this one's just like whatever I want to play, Minecraft included. How do you feel about that? I feel like that would be good. For example, the Let me just go on my channel quick just to see what videos I really enjoyed. So, videos like um I do like doing the Five Nights at Freddy's series. Videos like that will

probably stay on here. Um I'm looking for a specific video. the mo I built the most dangerous water park. That is a it was a sponsored video, but it kind of threw me back to old school YouTube a little bit where I just play a game for an hour and then cut it up. I think what I'm going to try is the longer videos still, but playing those random games. So, instead of playing for like an hour and cutting it down to like 15, 20 minutes, I'm going to play it for a longer time and cut it down to like 40 minutes to an hour. How would you guys feel about that? Would you prefer to see shorter videos like 15 20 minutes or would you rather have the almost an hour between 40 minutes and an

hour ones? And this is on like different games, not just Minecraft cuz I know the Minecraft videos you like them to be a bit longer. So I was wondering if that would get more me able to play more games. Maybe we could do that. How does that sound? I think Wait, I think that sounds good. Sir, I have a minecart with your name on it. By the way, come here. No, no, no. Where you going? Why are you running? Why you going in here? Are you villager coded? Why are they going in here? What the Oh. Whoa. Are you good? Since when have they done this? You just came in here just rampage. Oh my god. You're savage. What are you doing? Huh? Well, get out.

Okay, I've fallen in water. That's slightly embarrassing. Right, I need you to go in here, though. Get in here. No, I missed. Right, I need this. Oh, here we go. Capture him. No, I missed as well. Oh, come on now. What if we do? They're hanging around here for some reason. I want to capture him because we had a guard here and he disappeared for some reason. probably cuz he was so like he just really wanted to go and bash down that door. So, he did. He escaped the minecart and did. What other videos that I really enjoyed making? I enjoyed making the doors video, which was again

a really long one. I like the YouTube playables video as well. That was a shorter one, but I enjoyed it. Again, it's like old school YouTube. I'm always wishlisting stuff on um on Steam thinking, "Oh, that would be such a good game to play." Oh, I missed. And um I just never play it because I haven't got the right video formula down yet. I'm going to capture you this time. I'm getting you this time. What are you doing to me, man? This is not the most uh detailed trap. Not the most logical, thoughtout, genius trap, but I'm trying it. For some reason, he doesn't want to walk on the rails. He knows what's coming for him. No, don't. I was going to say,

don't do it. There's also would you rather, which I really like to make as well. That was definitely a throwback to the old days. I basically just want to play more variety stuff on the channel. I locked it down on Minecraft for like a year, which was fun. So, we've got this series, which is definitely going to continue. There won't be any less of these cuz I've kind of come back on these. No, get in there. Why have you gone outside of it? Wait, wait, wait. This is perfect. Yes. Got you. But I want to do more because the channel was built on that and I just enjoy playing video games. I think you guys hopefully you guys enjoy watching me play video games still. I just need

to find the right balance for my creativity and also the games I want to play too cuz well in this day and age I really want to still I don't want to just like give up and not upload because I don't enjoy something. I want to find a way to enjoy it and still like inspire creativity cuz Okay, fungo. No, I'm not taking the emeralds off you. Don't worry. I know you like carrots, man, but I don't need emeralds that badly. Just keep them in your pockets. I know you're a rich man. All right. I was trying to say was I still want to inspire creativity because especially now with like um AI and just everything feeling like creativity is now a machine and an algorithm and like a formula that

you have to just work out to get viral videos and stuff. I feel like we're losing a lot of creativity and I don't like that. It makes me feel weird. I want my kids and everyone else to be inspired to be creative, try new things, and not just make things because a machine will like it. You know what I mean? There's just a worry that eventually everyone will just forget how to be creative and we'll like run out of painters, we will run out of musicians, we'll run out of like everything because everything is being done for you. And I don't like the sound of that. I don't think this is going to catch fire. This

is good news. Shall I commit to put on the other side? Feel like I'm going to. So, I just want to make sure this doesn't fall in the lava cuz that would be tragic. Thank you. So, this goes here. This goes here. Who's fishing? Is that you, Fungo Jr.? No, you're not Fungo Junior. Sorry, you're Fungo Junior. Sorry, I just like misspoke behind your back. My bad. This is great though. Is there a way you can I name tag this? Can I put this in a So, I want to give it like um what's it called? A name. Let's see if we can do it. Dantdm. It might not be long too long.

Dantium Village. I wanted So, when you hover over it, it shows the name tag. That's what I wanted. Let me see. Um, wait, where am I putting this? Oh, yeah, here. I was like, "What? I completely forgot." Yeah, there we go. Oh, that looks good. Yes, Funko Junior. That's right. Let's do it with this one as well. Let me put this over here. So, yeah, let me know your thoughts on if you got this far in the video, then thank you for listening to me uh ramble. I am not the best at getting my like thoughts out of my brain and into my mouth uh and out of it. So, hopefully all of this made sense. If I did a TLDDR, what would it be? It would be sorry for not uploading for 5 weeks. I just took a massive brain

break uh to bring some balance into my life. I guess I had nothing I was creatively passionate about. So, I made the music and dipped for a bit, spend time with my family. That is the main thing here is just spend as much time with them as possible. I'd like to get the message across to go outside if you can because again, I'm worried that we're all like attached to machines too much. Go outside. Just do things outside if you can for a bit. It's definitely better for your physical body, but also for your mental state, too. It does wonders for it. I love Pokémon cards. I'm sure a lot of people do, but I love playing the Pokémon TCG. I just It's just been a love of mine for a long time, longer

than doing YouTube. So, I'm glad I can still keep that up. And maybe I'll see you at a tournament at some point in the future. Um, thank you for the support on the music. That's been another love of mine. So, thank you for that. That's been great. And am I bad at YouTube now? Yes. But do I mind? No, not at all. That's just the way I like to make videos now. So hopefully I figured out a plan for the next few months or so. Yeah, let me know in the comments section down below any opinions you have on anything I've said in this video and I'll take a look. I'd love to get a little community going still because I think we have a really good comment

section. Um, and I'd like to reply and uh leave the little heart thing on as many as possible that I like. So, I like to think we have a nice wholesome community over here, and I don't want to lose that. And apart from that, I don't think I'm going to get much else done. What did we get done? We got the jukebox done with the name on here. Um, and if I ever release any other music. Oh, we could put Space Dog in the game. That could be kind of cool, actually. And then we're going to run out of discs for this man to hold. I think I'm going to put Space Dog in here. So, we did that and we did this. Is that all I did? That's crazy. I need to look up a way to make this look better because I still

don't like it. It needs to look flush because when you need them to go into the floor like let me show you what I mean. So, I'm doing that and then this. It just looks like Okay, that looks a bit better. But then I need enough space for there like for you to not bump your head. Okay, that looks better already. Never mind. I am talking rubbish. I can make this go lower actually. And then I can put on here. Yeah, I'll make this go lower. I'll do that in a bit. But I don't want to ramble for too long. I didn't want this video to be an hour long, but we'll see how long.

Hopefully you enjoyed it. If you did, leave a like. That' be awesome. Subscribe if you are brand new and looking forward to seeing the new games and stuff uh and content that I make. I'm also just really grateful to be in this position as always. I don't know what I did to deserve this, but thank you. I don't know what else to say. Thanks for showing interest. Hopefully, you're now inspired to maybe get outside, do something creative. Even if you're not good at it, just create something. And I'll see you in the next one. All right, take care of yourself.

Bye.
