👋👋👋✌

Nex you are the man !! This video is amazing and you've done a wonderful job. I was experiencing everything mentioned here and I'm starting to see these problems begin to ease. I'm happy you're doing great. I thank you so much for making this video! Answered all the questions I had. Thank you nex

Ho there Greybeard!

Great Vid Nex! Glad to see you looking so well, best of luck in Puerto Rico.

Might be too late but in place of triple monitor setup consider an ultrawide of the 49 inch or so variety. I've swapped over and no going back. You'll need Microsoft powertoys to get the most out of it

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. And you could also tell me how the fuck to grow a manly ass beard like that, I now hang my head in shame!

Good to see you again Nexius. Been watching since the swifty days. I am going through the troubles of low t myself. Starting treatment tomorrow, i was experiencing high depression, anxiety, no motivation. Dr's had me try ssri's as well no luck. Got my t tested and was sitting at 135 total level. This video has given me hope to push foward with treatment. Are you still having luck with test?

Good luck. Just don't quit

Does this mean there is a potential get together with Swifty and the old gang while you're visiting Florida?

Good stuff bro, never really minded the ramblings as you say, but I enjoy the videos none the less. Glad to see life coming up for you. Still waiting for you to get the old gang back together for a video some day. Good luck on your health visit/checkup

What was your best hike of 2023?

Isn't pre-force/pre-hyper drive star wars just humanity with extra steps?

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. I tried to get this comment as accurate as possible as I sent it on your previous upload and noticed you had to reupload so I hope I've hit the points!

OMG! I didn't expect a personal video response! It's great to hear you care so much for respecting the established canon. You could do a smaller scale story that simply acknowledges events happening parallel to it, in order to tie it into the continuity, but does not interfere with them.

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 remember forever ago you telling me about you magnum opus movie idea

the first 3 minutes of this video is "this is what i wanna talk about" and "This is what i'm going to do in the future", i already dont care, this is not content

Haven’t seen you since the Swifty days, good to see you’re still kicking Nexius :)

Holy shit bro that beard is epic!

What up big nex!? Beard looking epic

Cody Jinks. I completely forgot the name! I've got a LOT of his shit on my playlist too. Looking forward to doing some stuff together buddy. I'm glad you're doing well. This reminds me I still haven't played Doom Eternal... I should probably tick that off my list at some point!

Beard looks great, however I saw the thumbnail and thought to myself "Who is this person is Nexius' new video?" lol Keep it up man

Tell us more about your Star Wars fan film idea! Which era is it set in, does it feature any existing characters, etc.

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.

nexius u the man.

Bro! Loving the ZZ-Top beard! I was trying to get back my told Telegram number which had your details on but failed, shoot me a message if you can! I recently passed my HGV (Truck driving) test so I feel like the real life Seabass with the salt shaker. I don't get much screen time anymore, however I do rock a laptop with Darktide for the night shifts. I kept umming and erring regarding a Starlink for this shit, even if it did leave me borderline bankrupt, it's so fuckin worth it! Haha! Good to see you making videos bro, hope to catch up real soon! - Fug

nice beard nex

Ma man nexius love the beard, been watching since i was a young teen now im a father, always enjoy when you upload a new video, keep up the great work, love your journey and seeing how far you have come.

Nex! I know you've seen a version of this comment 100 times already, but I was taking a stroll down memory lane with some old SwiftyIRL videos for a nice dose of nostalgia and was wondering if you were still around. Just spent the last hour binging your new videos. Really great to see you making content again. Those old videos are like comfort food for a lot of us and you would be really surprised the lasting impact they've had on strangers you've never met. I grew up watching those videos, scurrying home after work or school to catch the new vlog. Now I'm in my 30s and showing those videos to my son. Hope life treats you well.

wow miss u man your are the best when you war with Swifty and now :D .... i dont have a update i am a supporter i just change my account lost the old 1 i miss Lilo she waz fun to see her with you

Whered you go

bruh how old are you?

Hey, Nex. I want you to know that I'm 27 now, and I used to watch you and Swifty when I was quite young. I've always admired you, and you were the first person to show me what a fire mage in WoW is like. I played and became one of the best on a private server at some point, all because of you. I adore you and will always remember you as the best fire mage, or mage in general. Happy birthday and I wish you all the best in life.

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.

love it

Hopefully you guys reconnect soon! i'm actually the one that got him to email you about 2-3 days ago on his stream from randomly telling him that you were back in Florida and he sent the email. Great video brotha, can't wait for more in the future.

Good content but how do you not get overwhelmed by all this knowledge and growth? What about all the quick dopamine activities in your life? It’s relative I guess quick to a 13 year old is tiktok all day vs for older ppl quick dopamine could be 2 hits of a cig… just trying to understand how I can let go of bad habits without overthinking and being overwhelmed. There’s so much info in this video to dissect

Omg go to swifty's house❤❤❤❤

Lookin fuckin great nice beard

Great video! I seriously hope we get to see you and Swifty together again! I'm looking forward to more of whatever you got coming bro thanks!

Hey Nex, I'm glad that you're doing well! I miss the old WoW days, from when I was a kid and I always used to get a kick out of watching your stuff. I'm 23 and just starting my career path and I think this info is really useful. I've been kinda struggling, making the transition from High school/College to the workforce. I think my biggest problem is not scheduling or working around the most important people in my life, and allowing difficult times and circumstances to throw me off course. I've been struggling a bit with alcoholism lately and it's becoming a problem with my work. You seem like a smart guy and if you have some wisdom to gleam I think I could benefit from hearing it.

Nice video, very informative and inspiring

So you want to make a movie? I'd definitely watch it. Hope you manage to break into the industry. I'm already imagining sitting in the theater in the future and thinking to myself I used to watch this guy when he was an youtuber, now he's making serious movies. Would be pretty cool.

It's so cool to hear from you again!! Hope you are doing well and maaaybe we might have the luxury to have you and Swifty maybe do a podcast and just talk!!

I really miss the whole Dara Mactire guild... minus mercader cuz that guy was a boob lol. You're the reason I first got into mage I didnt play it for too long I'd always loved rogue but I just miss the old days where shit felt so much simpler...

looking good brother

life works out in crazy ways. wish I had a friend who needed house sitting in PR lol

that nut joke was a bad dad joke, LoL

nice grey beard i feel old now (:
