Good video Nex! Really helpful for someone like myself also, I'm still brain storming what content I want to push out and I've decided to dedicate my free time to music. I'm still toying around with the Thunder Rolls thing! I'm just slow haha. If you need any help or advice with audio equipment let me know! I've been doing nothing but researching stuff to improve my guitar work. So far my audio interface is the absolute best thing I've ever purchased. On top of the AI microphone improver, I've got a typical gaming headset mic going on, with a little fucking around someone linked me the AI thing which to my surprise boosts the quality and makes a shitty gaming headset mic sound like a Blue Yeti, decent for me considering most of my income is going towards other things, not fun stuff haha. I hope you're doing well health-wise buddy. I hear the shout out man, I'm not sure if there is a private messaging thing on KZbin anymore, but we'll have to arrange a place to chat and hang during our spare time.

@Fugnuk20474 ай бұрын
Really appreciate the shoutout bro, and as for Thunder Rolls, leave that with me for a bit. I can already feel something with this one! I'd be happy to work along side you with this mate. I wish we lived in the same country man, absolutely zero of my friends are into Star Wars and are up for discussing DEEP ideas and extended universe related stuff, I found the Disney failing post hilarious - Didn't see that coming...! I think they could've done so much more with The Mandalorian, but instead we got a dimmed down version of one of the most violent people. The Mandalorian in my eyes is like that scene from Clerks 2 where Randal describes the LOTR trilogy. Where as the Obi Wan series did a pretty good job, few problems here and there but I can look past some of the mistakes and lack of story. I feel that Disney are only doing things for nostalgia, NOTHING new, like Asoka I couldn't really get into that either - I ended up skipping just to see Haydens return which was the only good thing but again, it's all a nostalgia trip, nothing new bought to the table. Remember Knights of The Old Republic? Not going to lie playing through 2 could actually be scary at times, travelling to Korriban, seeing how the Sith throw parties. "Peace is a lie, there is only passion". Getting my arse kicked by Calo Nord on multiple attempts, finding out Kreia is a bitch and so on. I wanted more of THAT from the Star Wars universe, not politically correct nonsense, and in Episode 1 where they explain the force with Midichlorians - I wasn't a fan of that. Keep things a myth, make the viewer create their own theories so they can have frustrating 5 hour conversations on what they think is up with it. Like in my previous comment I mentioned I wanna see a lot of pre force stuff (I hope you don't mind my rambling!) What was before the Sith? What led to their masses, pre Korriban? Events that led up to people becoming oppositions to the Sith, Jedi's coming forward, it's actually endless what can be done. Like did you ever play the Star Wars Battlefront 2 campaign? You start as Iden, in the thick of it. Gunning down the Rebels and then they pulled a Disney and turned her good, that's what I don't wanna see. I would pull some shit from the latest trilogy but I'm convincing myself that those 3 movies were a hallucination after too much puff. I need to see a setting were the ending isn't a nice one, bit like Stephen Kings "Mist" That ending still leaves me speechless. That's how I think they've gotta finish The Mandalorian - the only way they're going to be able to logically end that story is through a tragic event. I feel they're going to either end up cancelling the series or just keep going and going, there is only so many times Din Djarin can go to one side of the galaxy to get Grogu some milk and return after a couple of shootouts. One of my favourite movies is Fanboys, I never knew how well Rush and Star Wars could go together, to this day I still re watch it! That said I've written a bloody essay, If I can help in any way with your project I'd be happy to, I get a bit too into it when it comes to Star Wars. I'm glad to see you back making content again! Always a pleasure to speak with you about things and a while back when we did games and shit I felt like I bailed on you guys due to my sudden health decline so I apologies if it felt that way.

Thanks for reposting the comment, I had to take down the 1st video because the audio was out on the L side. I'm glad you're excited about the metal country idea! I'll record of video of me singing it without any music on in the background so you can lay tracks under it. I'm glad you're excited about the Star Wars stuff, I really need to pick a direction when it comes to video production and I feel 'this is the way'. A project that will be challenging but doable. It all starts with writing and I want to rectify many of the things you've touched on in your comment. I want an original story with new characters to stand on it's on merit and not 'jangle the nostalgia keys in front of the baby' to get emotional reactions from the audience. I've heard of fan boys but I never actually saw it, I know it was one of those movies that almost died in 'production hell' but they managed to eventually finish it years later. I'll give it a watch in between Clone Wars episodes. Don't feel bad about focusing on your health, I've been doing the same thing for the last few years too. And now that I'm in a better place I can work on cool stuff like this with y'all! Just gotta stay consistent, and engaging with you and the audience is really helping with that. So thank you!

Totally man, I've been up to my neck in work at home today but I do have some spare time tomorrow to crack on, and I've got some ideas to play around with and try and not butcher anything! That's the key isn't it, it's gotta be something LIKE how the OG trilogy went. Lucas did a good move there, going with Episode 4, 5 and 6 and then a while later delivering a HUUUGE answer to so many questions - those being Eps 1,2 and 3. The recent trilogy was just an orgy of fan boys and girls who wanted to get screen time in Star Wars to then proceed to say "DADDY LOOK I'VE GOT THE T SHIRT" Fuck those cucks. Fanboys hasn't aged well but it's one of those films you gotta go back to here and there. Same with Silence of the Lambs, it's always been a movie me and my family watch every couple of years just to have a laugh. (Our humour is terrible haha) Dan Fogel was great in it though, one of his best movies. Exactly buddy! We're all going through the aging process all together with some rough debuffs here and now but it's all good! Always a pleasure to be a part of your community! I still remember the best game we had was in Overwatch, back when you could all select the same character, think it was Winston and Zarya? I think it was? Was a good laugh.

This would be sick. Ages ago I always wanted to explore the early years of like pre force, or just discovering the force. When I was in my teens I remember spending years writing a plot for a star wars universe that was pretty close to current Earth times. Before ships were frequent, trying to solve how blasters would work, whilst the underworld gangs are stealing weapons and using them for themselves. Then I dropped it because it might as well have been a Mad Max movie. Though thinking back that would've been better than the latest trilogy we got! I dedicated more time than I like to admit to SWTOR, I purposely sold ALL my gaming consoles just to buy a decent pc to run it on max settings. Leveling was easily the most fun I had with my irl friends. Mostly trolling when we got to Ilum by force gripping each other off the edges of that particularly long AND high bridge. I actually subscribed again 2 years ago and experienced the new content, admittedly it's come a long way but it didn't deliver to my full expectations. Where as if we did get another KOTOR that would be a big deal. I'm an absolute sucker for this kinda thing. I always want more, but I know I shouldn't...

I was just rewatching this as it came up in my recommended again! Inflation is bad here too in England, the current place I'm at, the rent used 4 years ago was £780 ($972) - After covid and everything to this current date, it's now £1,500 ($1,868) per month. I noticed that when I checked my area ours is currently the cheapest around, literally the ONLY flat rental for less than £1700 PCM. Yet if you're into living in the concrete jungle and stab central being London a flat thats around my size is £2,860 ($3,562). We made the decision to save up and get a mortgage going and buy our own property which is easily about 2 years away from now. I remember when I was around 15 years old when living at my parents typical rent was £450 PCM or £560 and that'd be the highest! Or back when £100 was enough to get you a weeks worth of shopping. Me and the Mrs are playing around with ideas about moving from the UK for better health service also, I've really been struggling with my health for a long time and our NHS is completely free, but the biggest catch is its all half assed. 11 Month wait times, and don't even get me started on the dental part of it, us Brits have teeth as yellow as a Ford Cortinas headlamps, repping that shit. Puerto Rico looks pretty good mate, bet that journey from your previous location took some hours. I can imagine it's a massive change to get used to. With my new company I work for, it originated in the USA so we're sent on frequent trips to NY so I'll try and check Puerto Rico out when I get selected. Copart, you may have heard of it? I had my first driving lesson in one of their trucks a few weeks ago, I had the instructor in stitches once by being amazed that I'm one of the biggest mother fuckers on the road, this BMW cut me up so I said out loud "Come little white BMW, I only ask that you kneel". The fact he knew the film was even better. I think we get to try out the American trucks too, which I'm pretty excited about. I've got the stereotypical British gut so I absolutely fit the picture! Looking forward to more videos dude! Also I saw your Doom music video idea, if you need any guitar samples I can try and send you a couple. I'm completely digital now, just an audio interface, plug that shit in with access to a LOT of sounds. I'm just trying to figure out some settings to either stream some or make some videos. Keep up the solid work bro.

Hey Nex! Unfortunately I just saw that you uploaded this. It means a lot to me that you took the time to diagnose my individual problem. I'm sure plenty of others can benefit as well. I'm still gathering my thoughts from watching this. This is just what I've gotten so far. You're absolutely right about my issue with wasting time playing WoW. I've gotten lots of memories and life lessons from it, and it wasn't necessarily a "waste" just because I could've learned to play the piano or something in the same time. I appreciate that since I am 23, I don't have to settle down. I do have a girlfriend but we've been very up-front about our plans, and she agrees with me. There's no need to get married or have kids when we don't know where we'll be in even 2-3 years. We're just trying to help each other along our own paths. I also really like your thoughts on a long term plan, and being better than yesterday. I'm finding that I have a lot of small decisions throughout my day, and I know there are different choices I could make that eventually become habits, and my success really depends on making better habits consistently. I really relate to what you said about your weight. I did martial arts for years, and felt great up until Covid when I stopped training. I used to walk around like 175 at 5'11 and now I'm up to 220 just from eating shitty, not working out and drinking a lot of whiskey. I feel like if I can fix those things, it would significantly improve my life. However it does feel very daunting from this point and I tend to just put it off until tomorrow. And obviously tomorrow never actually happens. I have to hold myself accountable for my own decisions, and getting back in shape will be a byproduct of it. I also do have an issue with worrying about small shit. I think that's just anxiety and fear of the unknown. I'm probably going to post more comments as I gather more from this video, and I'd be happy to update you on my journey, as I try to set myself on a successful path.

I suppose in the next episode I should cover the dopamine cycle. There is 'cheep' dopamine that is what you were talking about, scrolling through tick-tok or a drag from a cigarette, and there is the 'valuable' dopamine which is what you need to teach yourself to chase instead of the cheep stuff. You get a bigger more rewarding hit of dopamine after accomplishing something that took days or weeks than you do substituting with a displacement activity like those previously listed.

There's a lot of people like me, I thought I was going to be a professional WoW player when I was in High School, then once I realized that wasn't a realistic possibility, I started to think negatively about all the time I had wasted on something that wouldn't help me in my future. I'm kind of in limbo, as to what I want to do with my life. And although I have a lot of time to figure it out, I'm afraid of waking up in 20 years and realizing I wasted all of the time that I could've spent working towards something great.
