Happy to see you back again! Of course, I am a little biased towards Cookie Clicker content but I understand that there is not really much going on there at the moment. But honestly it would be cool to see any sort of content, even if it's games where I have no idea what's going on lol

[@Jman37X]

I appreciate it, yeah I still have some ideas for CC content that ISN'T the extremely daunting Gardens 101 series, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I basically want to stream a fresh playthrough of the game and see how things are early on, since it's been probably close to a decade since I last started fresh

[@valhunter97]

Alright, I'll try to clip more then) You know I'm EBF and Issac guy, no surprise for you here. And sure, I'm watching almost every stream, but I wouldn't mind rewatching a condensed version of most funny moments from streams. Isaac is usually VERY rich on such moments. Also I'd like you to do more Flash game streams and vids, I have a bunch of suggestions for next one.

[@Jman37X]

very true, and usually the best moments from those streams are already clipped so i have timestamps for them and everything, definitely something I want to start doing moving forward! and Flash games are for sure coming, one of the longest standing ideas for YT uploads and I'm starting to get a backlog of different games I could cover from streams :)

[@hellrangerboi2178]

glad your back

[@Jman37X]

I appreciate that, thank you :)

For stream highlights - I really recommend going for the standard 8-15 minute highlight videos. Doesn't matter if 1 stream = multiple videos or if you lose a lot of random stuff, but people just don't really click on anything over 15 minutes unless they're REALLY invested in it, or if they just want background noise. If you can get some twitch VOD highlights that are just like ~10 minutes of best moments from a stream / part of a stream, I think they'd perform very well. Tried and true formula. Gotta play to the algorithm. Then just grab your favorite moment from those 10 minute videos and upload it to tiktok and you're golden.

[@Jman37X]

I definitely know what you're saying, always goes against my instincts since I love longer content and more classic style lets play videos, but I know it's a dying medium these days sadly... still trying to get into the right mindset for shorter content, but I'm sure we'll get there. thanks for the insight bud :)

[@keithlynd]

@@Jman37X Right - I think with the right kind of content long form can still work, but the classic 1+hr uncut letsplay is a pretty dead format. Works for a VODs channel for those who still want to watch it though! Keeping it digestible is key, and I think you'll find some of your favorite and most revisitable work will be those shorter "best of"'s, or at least thats how its been for me. I put way more time and effort into the pokemon showdown highlights that ended up being just over an hour, but I'm much more proud of something like the 10 minute melee highlight videos I've been doing with friends. Feel free to bounce ideas off me or whatever if you wanna brainstorm about it - otherwise good luck man :D

Glad your doing good and cant wait to see more videos from you again

[@Jman37X]

thank you very much, I appreciate the kindness and am glad to have you here!! :)

[@finlay1095]

So happy to see you back on yt, looking forward to the ebf vods as I don't use twitch, if you decide to do them

[@Jman37X]

Very glad to hear it :) haven't streamed any EBF content in a while sadly but it's something I'm hoping to start back up sooner or later!
