The Nintendo VHS Tapes
🕑 Added 2019-01-20 22:37:52 +0000 UTCI am back! With video!
January 2019 has not gone as planned over here, and I think my video output kind of reflects that. I've just been feeling really overwhelmed lately, life has been doing its thing, and it's really effected my video-making. I think a big part of it has just been dealing with some burnout after making YouTube videos for... however many years it's been. My inactivity has been a huge bummer, because I wanted to storm into this year with unrivaled productivity. But it's been like pulling teeth.
But, I have video!
I hope you like this look at some of the Nintendo VHS tapes. If you don't already know, I actually watched all of these live on stream before making this video! If you'd like to watch the full tapes along with me, you can watch it over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUwNfUQr1G8
Now that I've FINALLY uploaded a new video, I'm hoping that kind of gets the ball rolling for me. I've got a lot of great video ideas that I'm excited to work on - I think you'll be happy with some of the upcoming video topics! Also, I'm planning on doing more streaming this year as well, so I hope you'll join me over on Twitch some time - https://www.twitch.tv/brutalmoose
I think this post came out a little scatterbrained, but that's okay I'm just a little scatterbrained. Thanks as always for the support everybody, and I hope the start of 2019 has gone a bit smoother for you!

It's alright to take a bit of a break when you need to! We'll be here to watch your content when you get back. ^___^ Great video!
Honestly sometimes taking a break is a part of productivity! Give yourself some time to step back and take a deep breath. We'll be here. i wanted to put a smiley face there but I felt like it'd be condescending. But! great content, as always

Boy do I know how draining burnout can be... tends to be cumulative too. Like rolling a ball of snow. Don't let the ball get too big.

I feel ya, Moose. I'm a writer (31) and am in big burnout mode, and it suuuuucks. Feels like this holiday season was bad for everybody I know. That's how it is on the bitch of an Earth. I'd be down for more random VODs. Your IRL stream VODs are primo content for me.

One last thing: The video was great! My husband and I both loved it!!

P.S. I know that stuff is much much easier said then done, trust me. I've gone through a 2+ year slump because of depression and other things. This method worked for me, but only after a lot of trial and error, therapy, and perseverance. So you do you, and know that I think you're awesome either way!

We all need breaks every now and then, and having burnout on any art form is totally fine and normal! For me, when I start to get into those slumps, I just have to force myself to do it even if I'm not enjoying it at first. The enjoyment comes back in time. Plus, not everything I do has to be productive, as in something I will release. Just do it, even if it turns out not great, at least you've done it and that tiny step is a start.
I caught that stream, I'm so happy you made it into a video because those tapes were pretty great haha. The burnout issue sounds tough to deal with, take it easy on yourself if you need to! We'll keep on supporting you!

I said it on Twitter but I'll also say it here: I'd rather you made videos at your own pace, even if it's just one a month, rather than for you to go through a burnout and stop uploading altogether. So take your time, y'know, make sure you have fun making the videos because, then, odds are good we'll have fun as well. Haven't had time to watch it yet because I'm stuck at wooooork but I'll give it my full attention tomorrow morning :)
