Hi everyone,
I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support over the last two years; it's been an amazing and incredibly humbling experience. That said, I think it is time to cancel my channel membership program. As you have noticed, I haven't been uploading nearly as much in the last 6 months, and I want to explain why.
First of all, I have been working full-time on top of my college classes for the last 6 months. I thought I would have a lot more free time when I finish my degree this summer, but I decided to start a master's degree right after away, so I'll stay swamped for the next two years.
Secondly, I've been really burned out in the last year. It's become more of a compulsion and chasing numbers and not what it was at first, which was just having fun and being creative. That led me down the rabbit hole of being obsessive, constantly checking my analytics, and it started to really affect my mental well-being. All that cultivated in me just detaching from my channel in the last couple of months, not even having the mental energy to reply to comments, something I've been really good at before.
And lastly, I haven't really been active as a trophy hunter or involved in the trophy-hunting community lately, so I felt that I didn't have much to say or add. I want to do something unique; I don't want to be another channel that does whatever anyone else is doing (not that there is anything wrong with that), and I don't feel like I can do that at the moment.
While this is not the end of my channel, I will be prolonging my break to find new inspiration. I will still continue to create videos when I feel ready and motivated to do so, but I don't feel comfortable accepting payments from you during this time.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the people who supported my work; I wouldn't be here without you.
Best regards,
Iliya

Do you recognize her?
Because she has something to do with the video I am currently working on ;)
P.S. I guess I am going all in on the animation at this point...

Guys, I'll be honest; I am struggling with motivation lately.
It goes from 0 to 100 and back to 0 in a matter of days. The fact that I have a full-time job, on top of being well into the final year of my degree, is also not helping.
Plus, the last couple of my videos I spent hundreds of hours making (not talking about the RE3 speedrun, it was a pretty low-effort video that, for some reason, got a lot of views) didn't do nearly as well as I hoped they would.
I want to make more content, and I have an entire word document full of ideas, some with the potential of being decent, but I feel in an uphill battle with myself lately, which is why I didn't upload for 4 months before my latest video.
The motto is, under-promise and over-deliver, so more content will come when it's ready, and I am in a better mindset. Could be soon, but I guess we'll see.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the last poll! I will do my best to do some more trophy content *soon*, although it doesn't mean that I will stop doing the platinum speedruns and the essays, as I honestly quite enjoy making them :D
Also, I am in the process of turning parts of my videos into shorts to hopefully bring the channel back to life after a long break and maybe bring in new people. I made sure to turn off upload notifications on them, and with the new YT video separation, you shouldn't be bothered if they are not your thing.
Cheers :D

Ok, I am curious. What type of my content do you enjoy the most and would like to see more of?

Hey everyone!
Thank you for the amazing reception of the last video; it was probably the most fun I had with content creation in a very long time, and I will definitely make more stuff like that :D
So, with that in mind, in case you are curious enough to see the full (or parts) of an unedited playthrough with my live reactions and commentary that, to be fair, mainly consists of me mumbling to myself, then you can!
I don't necessarily recommend it, but it exists.
Thanks again, everyone; your kind comments mean the world to me!

After what seemed like forever, my biggest and most ambitious project yet is currently being rendered!
There is still a little work left, mainly fine-tuning sound levels, so you won't have to play with the audio slider like some discount DJ, subtitles, and finalizing the thumbnail, but it's basically done, and you should potentially expect it this weekend!
I honestly can't believe it, this video took me over a month and a half to make, and I can't wait for you to see it!
