I am back in the office after a 10 day trip across the world, which I will share more about soon.
My microphone got a bit beaten up in transit, so my audio setup has been upgraded for the first time since 2015 and I think it's safe to say it's... a e s t h e t i c 😍 

If you've seen my latest video and read the pinned comment you will know the meaning of this image. 

1 YEAR BACK ON YOUTUBE.
October 16th 2022 I uploaded my first video after taking a long break from posting. It's crazy how fast the time has flown by, and I thought it would be nice to give you an update on where I'm at with it all 12 months later.

I'm in a really good spot where I'm just posting things that interest me; this does mean that occasionally there are longer gaps between uploads, but each time I post it's something that has genuinely peaked my curiosity. I'm no longer interested in cultivating an ever growing audience, or watching my metrics page to see how videos perform. My channel has switched back to what it used to be when I started; a true passion project, one that I post to because I love it, and not because I need to. I push myself creatively regardless of video performance, and that's a really nice place to be in!

Thanks for continuing to watch my videos, showing your support over the years and being generally all around lovely ✌️❤️🌱

Right! Now that my latest video is finally done, it's time to get on Hermitcraft and disappoint you all with how awful I am at Decked out.
Remember, I press shift with my thumb, my only other gaming experience outside of Minecraft is skating games, and I have 2 brain cells total. ✌️❤️🌱 

Here is my second podcast with Impulse and Skizzleman!
Talking a bit about my personal life, and what I do outside of making Minecraft videos.

I was recently on the Imp and Skizz podcast - hosted by ImpulseSV and Skizzleman!
If you want to know a little bit more about me, and the process of making my videos, give it a watch/listen.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIfro... 

I just got an email about replacing myself with an AI text to speech bot trained on my recordings to perfectly imitate me, so that I could 'streamline the production process' and 'create more content faster and scale revenues'.
The creator landscape is about to get weird - keep your eyes peeled for content creators dabbling in this and reject it. The beauty of YouTube is in the personality, humanity and individual creativity of each creator. Boiling it down to a text to speak algorithm strips all of that. It's lazy, soulless and depressing. As the audience, you have the power to prevent it by not engaging! ✌️ 

I have been to the land of many bikes! 
I am back home now, but will be off on a few camping/bikepacking trips for the next couple of months, so will be working remotely with my most stripped back setup. Let's see how this goes!
