My plans for 2025
🕑 Added 2025-01-01 14:17:48 +0000 UTCToday is the first of January, Happy New Year! I hope you're all doing very well.
Here's my plans for the new year. I will continue making loads of StarCraft 2 content in 2025, and who knows, maybe I will begin casting other games too (another RTS) if something comes along but YouTube uploads will continue coming your way.
In January I'm trying out a few new things:
Daily StarCraft 2 uploads (rather than 5-6/week)
YouTube livestreams (~5 times a week), simulcasting with Twitch
YouTube shorts (aiming for ~3-4 a week if I can keep it up)
I've been noticing a decline in YouTube views these last few months, so I'm hoping this will counteract that. I'll let you know next month how it goes.
Every few months I update my list of games to check out in 2025 and beyond. I will not play all of these, but I'm keeping an eye on them.

I try to upload between ~20-60 minutes but sometimes the games just run longer. Today's video is about half an hour tho!

And Happy New Year!

Thanks for the update, glad to hear you will continue the great SC2 content. To share some feedback, I'll often skip YouTube videos from you if they are too long. Hope you can mix in more casts that are around 30 minutes.
