I did not expect to get a comment from you :) Thanks for the course and checking out my channel as well!

My way of talking? Sure. My voice? No shot. I talk slower in videos to make sure there isn't any misunderstanding. I definitely don't sound 35 irl

@@m0rtal803 It's not your voice, it's more about what you are talking about. As I said before, I have seen at least 2 other videos of you and my impression of you was ... that is a person who has already a family, a job, released over 20 games and have seen the whole world. In other worlds, you sound very smart almost like someone with and high IQ.

Got it. The fact that I'm not a person with a family, a job, and 20 games released should make you realize that I am not qualified to speak on these issues, I'm just sharing my thoughts. Thanks for the final part of the comment, it means a lot!

Oh, wait 2023...you mean they've done this before?

yes, 2023. That's when they originally launched the GDR I believe

It's amazing to hear that you've got all these things! Balance is indeed hard to find, but that's the fun part.

I like that one better as well. I wanted to use a combination of the two styles, but I just didn't have the time yesterday. After missing two weeks of uploads, I don't want to do that again, so I might post things that aren't necessarily the best product. For the next video, I'll probably put this style that I'm talking about into practice. Thanks for the feedback and still supporting the channel!

Mirbu who paid you for the assassination

Thanks for the advice! Honestly, I'm already pretty happy with my physique, I think I'm in great shape, but that obviously doesn't mean I'm going to stop working out.

Thanks!

I appreciate that a lot! Is your favorite video still "A Week In The Life of a Highschool Game Dev", or have I managed to change your mind recently? :)

@@m0rtal803 you win. Lol

Sadly not, but you are mortal, which is honestly even more sad.

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

I totally agree with you. It's most important to take care of yourself and the ones closest to you. If everyone did that, it would be great. My issue with that is that not many people actually do so, and that's what I'm trying to achieve through this video: encourage people to do that. On the point of carrying the world on your shoulders, I think your advice is good for most people, but I've made a conscious decision to put more pressure on myself in that regard, as that is something that I feel like I want to do. I'm only doing that because I am already coming from a place of privilege and comfort, where my life is mostly sorted out.

Rewarding is the right word for sure! Others being thankful for what you do motivates you to a degree few things can reach. From this, you can also take away to remember to be grateful for the people in your life and to let them know that!

Can you elaborate on this analogy? I don't quite get it.

You figured it out! I'm James Clear himself.

Yeah, I think it's great to watch channels in the industry to learn, but that's not what I meant when I said I watched KZbin. I've viewed useless content mostly.

Why not now?

Feels like a distraction from making programming progress

I see your point, but I believe you should start as soon as possible. In the end, you do you, perhaps you are correct in waiting, you obviously know yourself better than I do.

@@m0rtal803 5 days later, I even made a thumbnail thsi time. Thanks for the motivation kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3O8mn6Dlrutjqc

That's sick man! I hope you keep going and find your style! I'll be sure to look out for new uploads.

Fr

I'm glad you stuck around as well! I will keep improving the videos as much as I can! Good luck on growing your art skills and pursuing that in life!

The parasocial relationship going crazy

Any time!

Dear rarespetrescu9878, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible comment you left about my video. Your eloquence and dedication truly shine through in your words, and it was an absolute pleasure to read your comment. The way you seamlessly blended the concepts of synthesizing and evaluating was not only inspiring, but also incredibly informative. Your ability to strike a balance between formality and wittiness is a skill that many strive to achieve, and your comment provided valuable insights and practical tips on how to do just that. Your engaging writing style and thoughtful approach made the comment not only educational, but also highly entertaining. The font and size you used enhanced the message, making it memorable and impactful. I particularly appreciated how you emphasized your words through a powerful contrast of colors with the background, bringing a positive impact on my overall well-being. Thank you for sharing your talents and passion with us. Your comment has made a difference in how many people perceive the relationship between you and I. I am grateful for the time and effort you put into creating such a glorious piece of content. Keep up the fantastic work!

I disagree. Perhaps they haven't made the most successful game, but I think that's because they chose not to do that. They wanted to do something different and not just be another indie game dev channel, so they decided to take this direction. It does feel right now like they are too marketable for my liking, but if you watch some of their older videos, Noa talks about health himself quite a bit and I've learned things from him. Another thing to bring up is the impact they have on the scene. Perhaps they didn't make a successful game, but if they are part of the development of 20 other devs that make successful games themselves, isn't that more impactful?

@@m0rtal803 It doesn't matter what they decided. One thing is sure what you also said that they did not make any successful game. And that is a fact and that means that they are not successful game developer. Yes, they are successful but not in game development, they are successful youtubers and they are very good in that. But, and this is a huge but, they are selling success in game development which is just disgusting.

​@@gyokzoli Why does one have to extremely successful in a domain to teach it? Coaches are a great example. Sure, some of them are retired, but others are simply there because they couldn't make it as a player. You don't need to be the best game developer to teach game dev to beginners, you just need to be a good one. Communication skills are more important than that. I think Blackthornprod have offered me enough information through the GameDevRocket course that I bought for me to learn from it and then go further in my journey the way I want it. Also, they've invited actual successful game devs on their podcast, so you can learn more from them.

I think I know what you mean, but I don't think we see the same future. Could you try to elaborate? As for being a companion, that's what I'm trying to do. Help others, so there are more people to be had along this journey.

Exactly!

I know you're using an analogy, but I want to clarify that I am not qualified in any way and you shouldn't blindly follow what I say, instead considering if you want to follow my advice. I appreciate your positive feedback a lot and comments like this push me to give this channel my all!

@@m0rtal803 You're right on the fact that i'm using the professor thing as an analogy, but thanks for the clarification anyway! There can always be people out there who don't understand and it's always good to clarify things. Keep doing what you're doing man i really hope you succeed. ❤

Glad you liked it!

lol ok

@m0rtal803 in seriousness, thank you for the advice. But your accent is insanely thick. It's hard to hear what you're saying. Work on it.

I think it was thicker in this video than other times. I'll try to work on it

What are you on? It's very understandable and most of the time it shows what he's saying on screen
