in the last 11 years listening to ethos voice ive had kids, found a career, acquired enough hobbies to keep me busy all day. But no matter what i always take the time to listen to etho ramble about minecraft. thanks etho

[@barb0za0]

what are some of those hobbies? im trying to find things to do

[@asm7983]

@@barb0za0 a few suggestions: Arts and crafts, Instruments, hiking/walks, running/gym, reading, community help

[@dethlovesme]

@barb0za0 I have lots of small pets, reptiles, insects, small mammals and saltwater fish things that are comfortable in tanks and terrariums, picked up some carpentry and "engineering" skills so I can build all the cages and tanks they stay in. and i have spent many years building a computer and a large desk for the gaming. I always suggest, Go outside and flip over rocks and logs just to see what you find. Im a bit over 30 now and I still do that.

[@dethlovesme]

@barb0za0 In general my favorite thing to do is just make or build things that make mine and/others lifes easier or look more organized.

I love how Etho always focuses on whatever is the most fun for him, no matter the series. It makes it more fun to watch when you can tell that Etho is having fun too!

[@premieress2623]

I feel this way as well about content creators in general. It's weird when people get mad that they play variety or not their "normal" game. If they are having fun then I'm enjoying myself.

Yeah, someone remind me

[@jetlag1488]

@@markm0000 I guess my name and pfp are recognizable because of me consistently getting 400-1000 likes on my comments back in the day (like 2012-2015). I'd get top comment on a lot of videos. I used to either make witty comments based on the title or whatever happened at the start of the video, or I'd make long comments talking about how much I enjoy Etho's content. Pretty much what everyone else is doing. I think a big part of why me getting a lot of likes on my comments was so consistent was that I'd always catch videos right as they upload and I'd just get lucky with the kind of comments I'd post. I don't think I'm anything special myself but it's fun to see people going "aha Jet Lag, good to see you're still around" or "this takes me back" etc. I love that a good chunk of those who still watch Etho's videos have been here for over a decade.

[@markm0000]

@@jetlag1488 Ow yeah I kinda remember. I used to do the same but on Reddit and I would get thousands of upvote. It's such a weird mindset. In the end all these imaginary internet points are meaningless. What are we left with? Some faded memories? The human mind is designed to forget as much as possible and only retain the most important information for survival. I always think what life would have been like if I wasn't addicted to these gamer channels at such a young age. Because of this massive distraction filling a huge hole in my early years, I've had time to grow up and really think about my future before I've made any huge mistakes. I'm so thankful for channels like Etho that gave some decent life advice over the years. I'm sure he's done the same for you. The hardest thing now is trimming the fat and getting away from here for at least a few hours a day so I can do some kind of hobby and a side business. Life is pretty chill, there's so much more I wish I could share but we will never see each other. I wish you well Jet Lag, that you have a fulfilling life and your dreams come true.

I'm so happy that etho and vault hunters have found each other, it seems like a match made in heaven!

[@patrickkoh1308]

I'm not sure if the numbers reflect this for viewers as a whole (or how much you care about viewership numbers anyway) but personally, I'm so happy that videos are getting longer and longer for all these series!

Same!

[@jnsman858]

etho not even opening the dungeon doors to see the difficulty has me crying every time

[@markm0000]

He went into a normal one and got spammed by a ton of spiders. I think after that he decided it wasn't worth the effort.

[@Waffles17643]

Ya I don’t think it mattered

[@ARCANODESINE]

he gives anxiety during vaults: HE SIMPLY RUN TROUGH THE TNT ROOM AND SPAWNED EVERY SINGLE MOB!!!

[@SmashPortal]

​@@ARCANODESINE Yeah, he seems to have a habit of throwing out half of his Minecraft knowledge when in the dungeons. Like, if he's not fighting spiders, he should be pillaring up to avoid getting hit by the mobs chasing him.

[@Arkasaurs]

People like you guys makes etho rarely upload before. He mentioned before this he gonna focused this series just for his own entertainment and not gonna focus much on getting it as videos to upload. Be thankful he is even uploading this series once in a while. Else go watch someone else who focus on making videos for vault hunter

Treated with more etho content. Thanks Etho!

[@AlphaPickle]

Etho: "Okay, we have to be careful here." *Immediately proceeds to charge past all mobs spawning more and more Never get tired of the classic Etho moments 😂❤ 17:59

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Oh, that was so good. SO GOOD. I don't think people who are new to Vault Hunters realized how much you improved from beginning to end let alone middle to end of the episode. Your VH knowledge is an significantly sharp incline on an exponential curve. But even from the first few minutes to 9:40 where we see your storage drawers set up... you've come along MASSIVELY within the weeks since your last episode and I'm comparing you even to False! Last she streamed on Saturday, she was level 31 (to be fair, she and the others have been doing Plunderer's Vaults to keep their levels down so others could catch up in level. You didn't mention these at all so I'm wondering if you have been told about them yet? But there is a fantastic trade off to a Plunderer Vault: you gain 0 XP but you get like 20% more ores/loot or something? It's so worth it to run a bunch of these. Plus with all the gear you'll get you can really perfect your gear, armour and tools alike. When you said you didn't know the difference between Chromatic and Vaulterite Sickles I was like this :O and was so happy to see you find out what the difference was. ^^ As for the Bomignite Key that you have (which is Hbomb's Gem), at a certain level (40, I think?) the Vault will now spawn locked treasure rooms and the doors will be different jewels. In order to enter those treasure rooms, you will need the right treasure key. So these keys you will want to keep in your inventory somewhere when vaulting now. And of course, you'll need to keep an eye out for them as they are easy to miss. Once inside a treasure room, they will have no mobs but will have chests with rarer loot as well as treasure sand which you should vein-mine shovel as it will drop goodies galore! Can't wait to see you find your first treasure room! Also, can't wait to see your reaction to a Cake Vault!!! They are my faves. I've been trying to convince False & Hypno to run Cake Vaults. They're much more fun in Party Vaults and way easier to complete with others as well. You don't really want to do it yourself unless there is absolutely no one around and you can't simply wait.) You're saying that this is scratching your rogue-like itch, well, I'm super happy for you because it's keeping my VH addiction well fed. I said this before buuut I bet you would get a kick out of streaming this. ;) Chat is very helpful for spotting treasure rooms, for example. :D

[@EmeraldOutlaw]

Really loving this series so far, glad to see you happy while playing something new.

[@linuxgarou]

I've watched most of Chosen Architect's videos of this pack, as well as a couple of others, so I've seen a fair bit of it. But seeing how the pack's mechanics have progressed (*especially* now being able to retrieve your items after dying in a vault), combined with your clear explanations of how those mechanics work, this is the first time I've been interested in playing it.

[@donovanschafer8620]

I know Etho said before that he typically plays roguelike games in his free-time and likes to enjoy them without worrying about recording. However, I just wanted to say I would love to see him play some of these games since he's obviously pretty good at them and clearly has a lot of fun with it. Also, I would suggest Cult of the Lamb as a potential game to play for KZbin or alone :) I would love for Etho to see this so if you guys agree please like this comment :)

[@OldBeau]

i love your vault hunters series a lot!

[@GH0STmonk]

I have always wanted to see You, Grian, and Tango run vault hunters. I am glad you are having fun with it. My favorite trick with the pouches is to make a deposit upgrade that sits in an item frame in front of my storage system. If you put it in a pouch then when you right click on an inventory intake like the drawer controller it will automatically pull items from that pouch. I combine this with a auto soul system for my scavenger vaults. Put a few 2x2 Drawers with hoppers leading into a soul diffuser that leads into a compacting drawer. With the deposit upgrade in your scavenger pouch you can put all of the rotten scav items into the drawers they will automatically get put into the soul diffuser and the dust gets compacted into soul shards.

[@vphxn]

I don’t thing Etho understand how influential he has been. The first mc KZbinr I ever watched was him, I was 6yo. I’ve watched him my whole life. My brother was 4 when we both started watching. He is a pioneer and revolutionist. I’m now in college and am still watching his videos over and over. He’s an inventor too, he has made and discovered so many things in games, most of all mc. He has encouraged my brother to do the same which has now led my bro to be a top programmer and engineer.
