[@sprasle]

At least he elaborated lol

[@timario9424]

Gigachad at life

[@Zoran501]

Really sorry to lose you. Good luck with everything!

[@sohn7767]

You were definitely one of the highlights of this series! It was fun to have you on. If you can plan irl as well as you can CQ I’m sure you’ll blast through your agenda 😉

[@purpleecho1714]

The thought of Balk creeping out his boss by doing some insane strat makes me chuckle

[@lagspike7763]

It is what it is. Keep making great vids, king.

[@john_gamecube]

Big respect for keeping your personal life a priority. Your clears were super fun in the relay and you’ll be missed. Wishing you the best and hope we get to see the videos you mentioned someday, they sound cool

[@noishfanboy1141]

Damn tbh knowing when to stop something In order to focus on your life is something that someone good at life would do.in all seriousness thanks for giving us the few clears that you did.I enjoyed them a lot and I know others did too.🙂🙂

[@lolozo214]

Sad to see you go from the relay, but props to you for putting real life stuff first. Maybe you'll be Good at Life by the time you return

[@LeoWell303]

While we gave you a hard time for your clears, they were genuinely entertaining, and I, for one, am sad to see you go. You may be Bad at Life, but you're certainly not Bad at Fire Emblem.

[@TheUnseenFuture]

I actually enjoyed ur clears. Not because they're good, the chaotic evil nature of ur actions and the way u just love to mess with the relay is super entertaining and fun. Sad to see. Good luck on ur endeavors.

[@jonathanlgill]

Not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss your contributions. But everything you said makes 100% sense, and I respect it. Moreover, I know exactly the feeling of having several good ideas that I can't quite bring around to fruition. Don't let it nag on you. Shout-outs for the rough calculation of the odds of succeeding with that Mozu run.

[@purpleecho1714]

Im gonna look forward to your next video Balk, whether it be in the next few days, weeks, months, or even years. You got some of the best Fates content out there, and when you say you want to make videos you are proud of, it definitely shows in the content you've been putting out

[@Zappy-McCraw]

I only recently found your channel through your videos with Oni Hayato and Rhajat, and it's been a blast to watch your content. While I'll miss it and your chaotic contributions to the relay, major props to you for putting real life first. I can barely imagine the sheer time and effort that goes into videos like that consistently, let alone how that can be difficult with random life events. Your life should come first, and we'll still be here to eagerly watch your videos as they eventually come along. Even if you must leave us, I can hope that Mozu carries forward your legacy. Best of luck, Balk.

[@johnwise9811]

I'm glad that the previous clear wasn't what actually happened lol but it was still entertaining nonetheless! Thanks for your fun contributions to the relay, we wish you all the best.

[@obsessivefool5618]

Sad to see you step back but it's understandable, real life always comes first. Your clears were always super entertaining and the curveballs you'd throw were really fun to watch. It's gonna be interesting to see what'll happen now that brainiac might get a scrap of gold to use 🤔

[@sprasle]

Sad to see you go. You were definitely a highlight of the relay and I'm sure everyone will look forward to your return to making videos, even if every once in a while. It's a totally understandable decision and I wish you good luck for whatever you have going on irl.

[@roysourboy8016]

for what it's worth, your rigged showcase was very fun to watch. props for taking care of yourself.

[@vishuprathikanti9352]

This is so sad... I really liked your clears and honestly, I would've settled for a textfile dump over a wordless video of this clear for conquest map ai. But I understand, and I definitely agree that this stuff should be for fun, not as work.

[@audreyii5087]

Ah man, I had left a critical comment on your last video, but I still really liked your entries in this series : ) Props to you for prioritizing real-life stuff, and I'll be excited to see what you do in the future!

[@adamkampen]

Thanks for taking part in the series! I’ve loved what you’ve contributed before hanging up the 100% reliable tactician’s cloak for real life happenings. Best of luck with all that!

[@maxechilsemptyspace7184]

I can definitely relate to the whole time things changing especially in the past few months. While it might initially sound strange to have just 10 hours a week to focus on FE due to real life circumstances, I know I've had much less than that recently (not currently due to some special circumstances related to landing a job from my college major, but resulting in having a temporary abundance of free time). It's pretty easy for an online persona to seem disconnected to a real person, but the reality is that all of us have lives outside of the internet and many of our lives are nearly disparate from each other. A personal example from me: I try my absolute best to make my irl friends one of my top priorities, such that if someone invites me somewhere, I always try to say yes (unless I've got a very good reason to say "no")... Some weeks this can result in basically no real time to devote towards video games at all, and I'd honestly prefer it that way. As much as I like FE and other things I'm interested in, my priorities are elsewhere and I'd never blame anyone for stepping away from internet obligations to better steward their time (For clarity's sake, I will say that I don't condone, nor practice, silently ignoring "internet obligations" for taking care of irl stuff, but that's clearly not what's going on here... I'm sure if I was in the other relay competitors' shoes, I'd much rather prefer something like this to happen than for that whole 2 week rule thing to need enforcing).

[@patricioallamosa1961]

I did always wonder how much time it took you to do all your planning, I am glad you are going to focus on your life too and not get run over by this work, I truly hope you had fun with the run at least, it was always fun to see your turn... also, I really enjoy all your videos, they are all impressively made and planned, and I think the same for all of them, from the ace attorney one, to the nintendo theory one and the speedrun one, I enjoy all of them... thank you for your work.

[@SuperEljafru]

sad to see you go. but, i’m happy you were honest with us and yourself. take care!

[@kyrroti]

I just gained a whole lot more respect for you. If you ever get back to the Rainbow Sage clear, I’d love it, but it’s not a priority and I completely understand. Best of luck in your life moving forward, Balk.

[@Bulkynemesis4534]

Says he bad at Life but actually is good. The channel name is a clickbait Jokes aside, i respect your decision and hope you see success in whatever you are doing

[@grifleep4916]

Hey it was nice to be introduced to ur channel! Keep having fun and good luck fella!

[@mads_in_zero]

Quitting now makes perfect sense, you've basically already perfected the art of strategy so there's not much left to do. Best of luck with whatever strategy nonsense comes next!

[@marcogomez653]

Just like Mozu on the relay, sad to see you go but excited to see you come back even better than before. Respect!

[@kujibiki57]

Aaah, really sad to see you quit, I really really love your content, and I would be really happy to watch this alternative clear, but oh well, life is life, good luck on your endeavors!

[@proudherouser4069]

now we'll *never* get a Balk Redemption Arc...

[@katieg1071]

Aw, I'm gonna miss the chaos you brought to the table! Your videos were my favorite ones. But I understand why this had to be done. Only one thing to do - watch all your other videos instead! :)

[@pizzahutkidman8806]

You say you're bad at life and here you are making a very smart decision for yourself and other people. To be cheesy for a bit, I don't think that's a bad life choice, haha. But your chaotic energy was a fun part of the relay and while it will be sad to see you go, focusing 9n real life is more important. : )

[@whemleh4129]

i will miss your insane clears but it was an incredible highnote to go out on imo. if you had a point to prove in how you approached the relay that was very much it proven. good luck with real-life!

[@roseyrock2068]

Your videos are always worth waiting for brother. Hope you can grace us with your presence again sometime soon.

[@1337treeckolol]

Thank you for the update and the fun times, we'll miss you. Bye bye and good luck. See you soon.

[@angelovertim2360]

Well...Time for your last title then. Balk : The Black Knight. (Maybe not for the "right" reasons, but he went down in history.) Life-work balance is really important to me personally, so I completely understand and respect your decision. May you find the balance and come back when you're ready to. We'll be waiting.

[@co8wei]

A real shame, I enjoyed seeing all the reactions you would get on the videos.

[@forenamesurname465]

That's a real shame, but I totally understand and respect this perspective.

[@flameutsav]

Aww so sad to see you leave this relay Balk, you were def the wildcard in this xD Hope you managed to sort out your personal life stuff to see you get back to making content you like !

[@theleftfootedsultan]

Sad as it is, you’re 100% making the right decision. Real life should always come first. Good luck out there, Tactician-san.

[@Minekings101]

Unfortunate, but games and KZbin shouldn't get in the way of your real life. Thanks for being the realist, most consistent player I've ever seen.

[@firmament1325]

that's too bad. real life can be a real bitch sometimes; hopefully it lets up, and you have more free time at some point.

[@ferintown6628]

You will be missed

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

Good riddance

[@remnants9974]

"real life comes first" but I thought you were supposed to be bad at life...fake

[@Grimsleeper86]

o7

[@graemetang4173]

Anybody getting butthurt about the rigged chapter clear last time needs to chill tf out. That clear was very amusing and the whole point of the relay should be that you never know what's coming in a given chapter

[@davidnelson3316]

Yeah I understand not having all the free time in the world. Take your time and deal with your real life

[@Muuhiro1]

you have a life and you are bad at it. so gotta focus on improving that first. we totally understand.

[@gangstersamurott2511]

This balk guy must be pretty bad at life to get into a situation where he only has 10 hours of free time a week

[@emm2893]

Yeah and I really can't imagine that he only "realises he has a life" after the feedback he received from the last video. Balk knew roughly that he had the time to play out the run when he signed on to it; real things *can* suddenly crop up, but this is too coincidental imo.

[@cartooncritic7045]

@@emm2893 Is it really that beyond the realm of possibility for you that shit could happen?

[@purpleecho1714]

@@emm2893 His video for the relay was already delayed due to his personal life schedule conflicting with what he wanted to do. Also the relay started a month ago, I dont think you can expect someone to know their schedule down to every detail and have it go smoothly without anything changing.

[@sohn7767]

@@emm2893 I’ll have you know that’s definitely not the case

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

Yes, The Guy îs a clown and so are you.

[@kiijiban]

dumb...you were the only other good person in the relay other than zoran. everyone else has bad quality. next time don't commit to something you can't finish.
