The Wurm Online Checkup, and some thoughts...
🕑 Added 2026-01-01 00:18:07 +0000 UTCRemember when I made that video on Wurm Online a year ago whose whole theme was the inevitable decay of the game...? Well why not see what's happened to my base since then.
This is just a quick video to hopefully sate some appetites for my voice before we enter the new year, since the Star Control video is taking longer than I'd hoped. I've been struggling a little bit with motivation recently, but I hope to be finished with it in the next week.
The crux of my motivation problems is that I've been struggling to balance Youtubing with my other hobbies and interests. Where Youtube used to be my prime outlet, I've been enjoying these other things more and more recently and it's making it a bit difficult to focus on Youtube primarily. Before I'd never have the thoughts, "I wish I was doing something else" when working on these videos, but they've been cropping up more frequently and it's felt like a lot of my videos have been suffering for it this past year.
My plans moving ahead will probably be another big Factorio overhaul on the same scale as SpaceEx or Seablock, most likely in the form of Nullius. I might even stream it, because the main issue I'm having is that any time I'm working on another hobby, it makes me feel guilty that I'm wasting time I should be spending in the content mines. I've always just worked on this stuff whenever I had the time, but it's come with the result that it never feels like I'm allowed to stop. I think a stream format may help, since I'd be able to do it in the morning, spend a couple hours on it, and then tell myself that I've got the rest of the day to do whatever I want.
I may also think about getting an editor, but we'll see how things go. Currently I'm just not happy with the volume of videos, and it feels like I'm torn between two things and both of them are suffering for it, so I'd like to change that going into the new year.
Anyways, thanks for the continued support, and I hope to continue to provide the content you all crave.

Pace yourself, quality > quantity.

I share in your pain, torn between things that I'm paid to be doing and things I just find interesting, glad I'm not the only one. Regarding my patronage, the other comments (Treeman and Volkaman) wrote up my thoughts exactly. Happy new year Dosh 🐛! Stay curious 🐈

Burnout is real. It starts small and it sounds like you’ve noticed early. Don’t let yourself be stuck bud, do what makes you happy!

I would put another comment nagging about PY, but dont burn out. Make things you enjoy, dont grind the content mines
