[@MahDryBread]

Hey! This is probably going to be my last video I make until I'm healthy again. The last 12 or so minutes of this video is a health update for you guys, since I know that not all of you will have seen the KZbin community posts or the tweets about it, but I want to keep you all in the loop. I can't really afford to take a long time off work, but I have no choice at this point since I literally can't. If I'm collapsing while trying to do voiceovers, then work is just too much for me right now. At the time that I'm writing this, I don't know 100% what's wrong with me yet but hopefully some of the ultrasounds and bloodwork that we're doing at the end of the month will bring some answers. It's probably my thyroid, but we won't know for sure till we do the ultrasound on it. I'm gonna link my Patreon. Don't feel like you have to donate, your money is your money and I want you to take care of yourself and the people in your life first. My Patreon has no rewards, it's just a tip jar for me. This show is free and always will be free, I'm not going to put anything behind a paywall. I just need to make enough money to make sure I can support me and my family while I recover, since I'm the only one who works and I can't anymore. Anything that you can give goes a long way to making sure that I can take care of the people I love Patreon Link - www.patreon.com/MahDryBread Thank you again so much, regardless of if you donated or not. I appreciate that you still come here to watch me every week. Let's hope that I can get healthy enough to work again soon. I'll try my best to plan out something special so that one day I can come back with a bang. Until next time, have a nice day!

[@terrylewis8478]

Hey, is there a way to set up a one off tip to you without setting up Patreon? Or does it work like I set up for a month, pay whatever I want, then cancel immediately after?

[@gamer3642]

Get better I’ll be rewatching your old challenges as a way to support as well as donating on patreon, please take your time and keep us updating on Twitter praying for your recovery, we will be here waiting and supporting one of my favorite KZbinrs :)

[@MyBanannas]

Get well soon.

[@N_IRL]

@@terrylewis8478 Yes, there is! He has a Tip Jar that he linked in his latest community post

[@bobbigford6290]

Hey MDB check out the spiffing Brit his new video shows how to make the most out of premieres ❤

[@JuneyToons283]

Take care of yourself, MDB. I sincerely wish you are able to get the results and answers you deserve. Thank you for all these fun challenges you've done. Take your time to do what you need to and I hope for a good recovery.

[@DerpyGrump]

This right here. Take the time you need for a full recovery! The challenges can wait, as they can’t be done without you! Greasiest hopes for your recovery!

[@Porter1038]

If only more ppl were like this sadly there’s always that one guy who’s just messed up .. purposefully too which is just more lame

[@christiecat5367]

Hope you get better soon. Take as much time off as you need. I discovered your channel during the first COVID lockdown and since I was high-risk, the UK government told me I had to stay indoors at all times (no quick shopping for food, no walks outside). Your channel (and other Pokemon run channels) not only kept me sane, but also rekindled my love of Pokemon. Thank you.

[@Dan55888]

Did that corsola outspeed Aerodactyl as well!? That is a speedy Corsola!

[@Irreblade]

It has +1 speed from ancient power

[@awcartermedia]

I hope you feel better! It's been a super crazy year of health concerns for many people. Please get some rest! Praying for you and your family.

[@pratyushchandra3354]

Take your time dude! No need to rush recovery. I think I speak for all the viewers when I say we know you'll be back with a bang and can't wait till you're 100% again.

[@clarathebandicute]

I can't stress enough how much your content means to me and my family. Our family tradition for Sunday morning is to sit down and watch your challenges with breakfast, my wife and my kids, love your content and as a fellow Canadians (my wife and kids not me) it's so excited to hear your voice and your content. We will contribute with Patreon because I definitely owe you for the amount of children distraction you've provided over the years xD

[@ameliadesertsong]

As someone who suffers from multiple chronic health issues, your content has been a huge inspiration to me, part of the reason why I continue to write everyday even though I don't actually need to. I've been in your exact boat before, being the vast majority of my family's income at one point. That's not the case anymore and I'm lucky enough to have a far better support system with my now life partner, but like you I'm still a workaholic just because I only have one speed :) blessings and good vibes to you my friend!

[@aaronyoutube95]

You sir, your work ethic is unmatched. An inspiration. Battling through for your family is all anyone can do. Rest up man and I’m sure I speak for EVERYONE here, get well asap!

[@TheHeartlessAlchemist]

Basically in Gen 2, everything, from the pokemon's gender, Hidden Power type and damage and even if it's shiny or not, all of it is determined by the DVs (aka IVs). And it just so happens that the DVs that determine the pokemon to be male is in the higher side.

[@Alehud42]

I will add that the gender is specifically tied to the Attack DV value, so if you're running a Pokemon that uses predominantly special-type attacks it will be fairly irrelevant outside of perhaps the early game.

[@orangesilver8]

It was because they wanted pokemon to be able to trade between generations but also be male or female which would be extra data for each pokemon that didn't exist before. So they had to find some data that did exist on the old pokemon and went with attack ivs.

[@silverrey7379]

Let's not forget the fact that Shiny pokemon in gen 2 are always inherently weaker because of their dv values

[@kitsu1379]

Weren't shinies outside the red Gyarados more likely to be female? I know in Crystal you get the odd egg where the hatched 'mon has higher then normal shiny chance but coz of that the egg has like a 85 - 90 % chance of hatching into a female outside of tyrouge, or am I remembering wrong?

[@seaweedstarfy]

@@kitsu1379 That's cuz the specific DVs for them were both shiny and female, there is a different DV value for male shinies.

[@Nick_Slavik]

What MD f'n B didn't mention to us all is that he's on a super secret challenge lately. Can Mah Dry Bread survive Ontario's broken, under-funded health care system and live to get back to the job he loves? lol I swear I'm joking man 🙂 All joking aside, I am hoping you can finally get some answers and get back to being healthy again! All the best man!

[@NoArtisticLimitation]

*Note to all MDB fans* Let’s work together to keep his pay checks coming in, so he doesn’t need to worry about money while he gets better! When you have some time to watch, or something that needs background noise, or heck, just whenever you go to bed tonight, put on a playlist of his videos! He has a ton of great challenges, and you’ve just been given a reason to restart from the beginning. Happy watching 👍

[@pyrasaur.ablaze]

Yes! Let's also boost MDB's socmed posts, and specifically recommend our favourite MDB videos to others! Everyone needs to know that his work is Big League 💪

[@johnmaano9354]

sometimes... I even just mute videos and run it behind other programs (when I don't want to listen to anything) :D :D get well soon MDB!

[@jcnot9712]

This has to be a cult lmao

[@angelwhispers2060]

Yep my trick is to leave the Pokemon playlist running while I'm in the shower. So that the empty air can watch the ads. So glad they don't have an actual way of telling whether a human is watching or not. LOL

[@thunderclanliveson1]

I listen to them when I go to sleep bc his voice is very soothing tbh

[@DarkEinherjar]

In Gen II, gender is determined by the Attack IV and the gender ratio (assuming the Pokémon isn't genderless or exclusively male or female). If the gender ratio is 50% male, 50% female: 0-7 Attack IVs: female 8-15 Attack IVs: male If the gender ratio is 87,5% male, 12,5% female: 0-1 Attack IVs: female 2-15 Attack IVs: male If the gender ratio is 75% male, 25% female: 0-3 Attack IVs: female 4-15 Attack IVs: male If the gender ratio is 25% male, 75% female (which is Corsola's case): 0-11 Attack IVs: female 12-15 Attack IVs: male Basically, always go for a male gender in Gen II if your Pokémon is a physical or mixed attacker. If it's a special attacker, you might want to consider going for a female gender to reduce Attack as much as possible, as it reduces confusion damage.

[@tubthungusbychumbungus]

That is truly such an astounding choice by the devs. I guess maybe they did it to save space but I cant imagine a random number generator would taken up that much space

[@slashb7836]

I'd argue even most intended special attackers you'd want to be male, at least for any kind of in-game run, for multiple reasons. Movepools are super shallow for most Pokemon in Gen 2. While the elemental punches being buyable TMs is great, they're only base 75 power. Thief is a one use TM and 40 power. Giga Drain is a one use TM, 60 power, 5 PP, and postgame. BoltBeamThrower aren't TMs (though they are postgame tutors in Crystal, meaning you'll still be missing out on them most of the run), leaving the far less reliable Thunder/Blizzard/Fire Blast. There's also fewer setup and status options. Return is farmable in Goldenrod with some clock manip, learnable by (almost) everything, base 102 at max with no downside, an# you get the Normal Badge Boost very early. You can cap stat experience on every stat, instead of the modern EV system, so also can play most Pokemon somewhat mixed without losing power on either side. And many of the pokemon that would both favour special attack and have comprehensive enough special movesets are Pokemon like Wigglytuff and Clefable, Pokemon who get STAB on Return, making it even stronger for them. Alakazam is probably one of the very few Pokemon I'd consider an exception, since it can run a decent enough full special set and has a big SpA to Atk gap.

[@DarkEinherjar]

@@slashb7836 That would make them mixed, though, which, as I stated, should always be male. 🙃

[@kourii]

The 75% male, 25% female numbers are wrong. It should be 4-15 ATK IV's for male. As written you've left out ATK IV values of 4-10

[@DarkEinherjar]

@@kourii Fixed

[@Gobl_943]

Health always comes first, no need to push yourself to the limit. Once you're healthy again, we'll make sure to not only leave a comment for the KZbin algorithm but to take the Helix Fossil and always ask anyway of what fossil we took. Jokes aside, get well soon! Looking forward to when you are healthy again and the Platinum Chansey run!

[@NoArtisticLimitation]

I mean.... Nothings stopping us from rewatching and commenting on older videos...

[@andrewberesford4055]

I don't comment on videos much, but MDB you are positively inspirational. I actually live pretty near where you're situated at and have a friend who lived in Dunnville. I'm in the GTA myself. It is so cool to have someone who's by modern standards a mini-celebrity so close to home. You are always so positive and just such a chill guy to have on the platform! You never bring a sense of elitism, you always just come as you are. Being a college student, money is always tight so I feel your pain. I hope you feel better soon, I know being out of work for whatever reason can bring great stress. Good luck to you, hope things work out for you, and take care of yourself! We'll all be here patiently awaiting your return!

[@Nick_Slavik]

I'm hoping you get some answers and can truly get on to the road to recovery! I appreciate the weekly uploads and I am 100% okay with waiting for new videos too! I love exploring your LP's and finding "new" gems 😎🤙 take care my dude! P.S. as a fellow Ontarian, I too find our health care system to be frustrating. My wife has been waiting over a year for a neurological consult and I am waiting about 3 months for a liver specialist.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Hope you're doing well.

[@nocturnalizzie]

Time traveling a bit to say I hope you get answers and a solution to your health woes soon! Give Nurse Rocky some extra pets for me! 💛

[@Nalucha]

Get well soon! Can’t wait for the next challenge, but of course, don’t rush yourself. Put yourself first, I hope you feel better soon!

[@christopherdavis6827]

Discovered you about 6 months ago when I had some bad insomnia, your challenge videos had the perfect overall vibe to help me drift off. It really helped me get my sleep and sleep related health stuff back at a stressful time! Tysm man, take care of yourself 💚💚

[@finleyp.6928]

Hello MBD! Another person with Ehlers-Danlos here! Have you looked into POTS? It’s a heart condition related to EDS, and as someone with both POTS and a panic disorder, they feel quite similar. It’s an issue of the blood vessels, and can cause fainting and an elevated heart rate! Everyone I know with Ehlers-Danlos has it, so it may be something to look into (if you haven’t already). Much love from the EDS Community!!!

[@MahDryBread]

I've been told to look into that one quite a bit, but it's really looking like it's a hormonal problem

[@dymnix7133]

Hope you are able to recover soon! Heads up about Red - he is programmed to ONLY use his Full Restores on Pikachu.

[@TheNoteblockLizard]

I always love a Gen 2 run ... Nostalgic Gen Two'er ... :D Still holding out for a Qwilfish run ... hopefully it's similar to this run. Also, be sure to take all the time you need to regain a handle on your health!

[@qpoqiuqytqrewq]

I've been watching this channel since your first Pokemon challenge run and I really appreciate you for entertaining me during cancer treatment through 2019 and 2020. I'll be thinking about you while you're away and keeping up with any health updates you're willing to provide. I hope you get better soon!

[@gregsutton217]

The lack of ECG/EKG capabilities of urgent care facilities also blows my mind (same issue in the states as it is in Canada). Definitely best to just go to the ER directly for any chest issues. Get well soon, MDB! Your videos have been a big help for many of us!

[@DarkGreiga]

Get well soon MDB! I love your challenges, Pokemon or not, and please take care of yourself!

[@Pencliff]

I've been following your posts on here and twitter and I just really hope whatever it is gets fully solved (if that is even an appropriate way to say it) and you get on a good road back to full health. I can't imagine just how much this sucks for you but I hope this community can help you get through however we can until you can get back to doing what you do best. Rest up MDB

[@Worstfreelancer]

I hope everything gets better for you. You're definitely one of the most wholesome and transparent creators that I like to watch so I really wish you well in this trying time. Take as much time as you need to get yourself back up to snuff, because we're all here for you in spirit.

[@zacherytaylor]

Love ya MDB, thanks for these little early vids from the Twitter. Nobody ever gives their Twitter base anything cool early or special so this is really nice. I can’t say anything better than what I’m sure many lovely people have already said, so I’ll just say: I hope you start getting better, and I’m more than happy to continue the support on Patreon

[@faeemi7228]

really hope that your upcoming appointments go well and that it sets you on some path to a healthy recovery! wishing you the best mdb :)

[@dchoff5883]

Hi MDB. I Hope you feel better soon. I've suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for 12 years now. They're extremely scary. So I can't even imagine how scary everything you went through was. Your videos are a joy to watch every week and your personality and kindness shine through. Wish you all the best. You got this!

[@Undrave]

Good luck MDB! I hope you get better soon. I'll keep rewatching your videos to keep your numbers up in any way I can!

[@absol1975]

I'm so sorry you're having such incredible health difficulties =( . I know you hate it when people say to take a break, so instead I'll say I hope you're feeling well enough you can safely get back on the grind really soon! Internet hugs if you want them!

[@MajinMattPlays]

MDB, we all love you. You're easily one of my favorite content creators, and you make every day I see a vid I want to check out a treat. I have an unending respect for you that you kept working even when having health issues, because you needed to. Though I guarantee that most people would be happy to know you're taking care of yourself more. Still getting a video explaining the whole situation feels like you respect yourself as well as your viewers, which isn't something I see in a lot of youtubers. One I watch just kinda, went on a multi-month vacation with no announcement, which feels like a slap in the face as a viewer. I'll keep you in my prayers MDB, get better as soon as you can, and thank you plenty for all the quality content. Edit: Just saw the last section with the comment that you're in poor health while editing. First time in a long time I've considered getting on twitter. I hope things get better, you'll be missed while you're away, but health comes first.

[@fourthcrystal5157]

I really have to appreciate that you still sound just as sunny as ever despite how terrifying this health scare sounds. I’ve been watching your content for over a year now (since April 2021 if I’m counting right?) and I’ve always loved watching these challenges and hearing your chipper commentary (something that never changes irrespective of how nuclear a lot of these challenges are!) I really hope that you’re able to figure out what’s going on with your body and find a solution for it. You deserve all the health and joy in the world, my guy.

[@harrishoin7950]

I started watching/listening to you after my son was born, your challenges made great background noise while having to deal with all the bottles and laundry and all. But then I started actually really watching and making sure to pay attention. This past month I've been having a lot of health issues too so I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you do, know you're an inspiration, and can't wait to see more of your content in the future

[@strangeambrosia7090]

Hey MDB! Thank you so much for the many many years of such amazing content. Get plenty of rest and I hope that you get results soon and recover quickly. I can't wait to see what you get up to once you're feeling better!

[@Anthonyvideogame]

Ive enjoyed watching your Pokémon challenges and Mario party. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better

"I'm looking at you China, you know what you did." Had me rolling laughing

[@paulthompson382]

Love your videos so much man. Saying this in the most non-stalkerish way possible: I listen to them when I go to sleep (because I need to have something on when I go to sleep and it has to be something I'm familiar with and is just...nice to listen to yknow?) and your videos have just got me through an awful lot of really difficult times. You've got so many of us through really hard times, hopefully we can help you get through this hard time too 🤗

[@braydensonaslaughtmbve545]

I hope you feel better soon MDB! I love your content! And be sure to take care of everything including yourself!

[@bekoekofi]

Get well soon MDB. You kept me sane during the peak of the pandemic 🙏🏾

[@codydaniels8759]

I'm glad I discovered you MDB. You are the reasons I do Pokemon challenges for fun. Take all the time you need to recover. I watch your old challenges for fun anyways so looks like I'll have a few more to watch. Hope you feel better soon.

[@smoorezog]

Be well! You're absolutely awesome for these runs and got me inspired to finally replay Gen. 2 on random! Take a small break; no one's going anywhere to see anyone else who does these because, well, no one does them nearly as well! Good health to ya dude!

[@pokemonpikachu9944]

Remember, your health is more important than any amount of uploads, rest as long as it takes, your videos are excellent :)

[@jordanhamann9123]

Get well soon MDB!! Someday I'd love to see you do a Gen 1 Mewtwo run to see how low a level you can be to beat the game

[@25thegoat]

I’ve had a similar situation to the symptoms you explained - mine came down to an anxiety attack. Had all of the same testing and mine got put down to lifestyle. I was drinking very heavily multiple times a week. I am now 250 days + sober and I feel a lot lot better 😊

[@KonekoneFukkatsu]

Congratulations, and keep at it. Well done on managing to go dry.

[@jacobross7270]

I remember when my husband first got panic attacks and the litany of tests and exams and general feeling of terror from not knowing but feeling off. I'm so happy to hear you have a strong support system. Whatever the underlying condition is I hope your health improves. Take care of yourself.

[@meta1429]

Hey MDB, just want you to know I hope you’ll take it easy with yourself and recovering. All of us out here care for you, even if the process is slow, we’re sending wishes for your health to be back in perfect condition. Have a good night.

[@protoman1339]

Hope everything with your thyroid is ok. Take as much time as you need/can to recover. Your health is important. In regards to male vs female pokemon in gen 2, the attack dv can range from 0-15 and male pokemon will always have a higher attack dv than a female pokemon of the same species

[@Prince_Markus]

I was at the hospital today actually MDB, I have fluid build up in my gall bladder and liver and a pretty bad UTI. The doctors were a bit surprised because apparently 17 is "so young" to get SAG (the fluid build up.) Happy we'll be getting better alongside each other :) Take care MDB

[@genv.b521]

Huge respect for the insane work ethic you have, Mr. MDB and your rest that you and your body deserves so that you'll be back better than ever and I'll be waiting for the next Pokémon Challenge as well, I'm thinking that Platinum Chansey run is gonna be brutal. And right, MDB mentioned currently watching AEW All Out and he wasn't spoiled by what happened at the end because believe me, it was everywhere (it even overshadowed the epic return at the end and the awesome tag title match you just mentioned)

[@twendemen31]

Love your content, I hope you feel better soon!

[@flyntflossy3044]

Canadian healthcare at its finest. Severe chest pain? Well pencil you in for next week. Maybe. Good luck.

[@cactuswithglasses8006]

It's great to see the Corsola Run! It's actually one of my favorite pokemon, so much so it was one of the first Shiny Hunts I went on when I got back into playing pokemon, and I use heavy quotes, "seriously". I was so hyped for how well Corsola was doing the whole time, but that Red fight was brutal in how it brought everything to a halt for a bit there... I wish you only the best though with the recent medical scares...Continue taking care of yourself!

[@Bradnauseam119]

Hey man, watched the outro. My dude, please please PLEASE take care of yourself. Your videos literally help me through work all the time, every Saturday, and you are honestly my favorite person on youtube. I'm epileptic and have severe anxiety, so trust me, these things your dealing with are things I understand and empathize with. I appreciate your channel so much, and I appreciate you for your dedication to your fans and your incredibly positive attitude. God bless man.

[@robertlupa8273]

Let's hope you don't turn like like Corsola did in Galar...

[@PrinceTalonSabre]

Listening to you talk about life in the outros hits me on a personal level. We may not know each other at all, but it's like I'm chatting with a friend almost. Your videos are always entertaining and enjoyable, and they wouldn't be here without *you.* I genuinely hope you get this figured out and healed, I'll be praying for you buddy.

[@ProfMaple]

I hope you feel better I watch you so much and I find your show comforting I watch it every sunday it's basically a ritual by now haha. I always wait till Sunday to watch haha be careful and best wishes

Hope you're hangin' in there okay MDB! Miss your videos, been binge watching some of your old stuff. The Chansey solo run in Gold most recently. Looking forward to the comeback!!

All the love and hopes for a quick recovery! You’re such a source of joy and just know regardless of health issues impacting the schedule we’ll be here when you’re able to return :) we love you! Cheers mate :)

[@starlight4649]

I've been watching these Pokemon challenge videos and also just your regular playthroughs for nigh on years now. The amount of work, editing, grinding, planning, researching, and just overall effort you put into getting one of these out each week whenever you're able is astounding. I'm really sorry you have to deal with just *the worst* people at a time like this, and I sincerely hope that you make a speedy recovery from your ailment. Can't wait to hear you back up and joking about the helix fossil and calls from Joey again, but until then I'll just binge all those old playthroughs I love starting with Neo Scavenger. Get well soon, Big League MDB

[@l1nx258]

Hey man, one of my oldest friends has been in a bad way for a long time with EDS (and another neurological disorder), sorry to hear you're going through that, he has been steadily improving for a while now, look after yourself, you have a big group of people here wishing the best for you and willing to contribute to looking after you in the mean time. Thank you for all of your awesome content!

[@roachdoggjr3458]

All the love to you. I cant wait to hear about which fossil you picked in future challenges. But I might just ask anyway. Best of luck and good health in the near future, King.

[@cwj6000]

Thanks for doing these awesome challenges, I’m currently doing an scyther only run in soul silver with your rule set. Hope you feel better soon!

[@nickjones2058]

You know I follow a handful of people who do pokemon let's plays but none of them as as consistent in schedule and hilarity as you. I hated watching other people play games until I found you and the few others I follow, I follow in hopes they will produce content at the same level as you. To this day none have and I am guilty of unaubscribing and finding new pokemon KZbin every couple of weeks because I cannot get enough of your videos. All I can say is I hope you get better soon and from the bottom of my heart thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos.

[@benyelinek69]

Thinking about you and wishing you the best. I keep on checking the community posts for any updates and obviously it takes a while cause you focus on you. Excited for your recovery cause you're one of, if not the most genuine people on this platform. Wishing you another get well and we are all awaiting your recovery. Thanks for the memories and love

[@whak1042]

MDB I hope you get well soon. I discovered your stuff about 2 years ago while I was traveling cross country, and your content was/still is very calming and centering. You have such a consistent approach in all of your videos, and we all look forward to whatever you put out in the future. Because we all know you’ll be well enough again down the line. Who else could tell us whether Gligar can solo Fire Red? Rest up my guy.

[@instincthaun3073]

it sounds exactly like panic attacks ive had down to every detail. i still dont know why but they come around every once in a while, for me. never during a stressful situation, its usually when im sitting down or getting to relax. I dont take any medication or anything and still haven't found my solution or cause of it, but i know what it is and somewhat how to deal with it and i hope you find out and are able to get healthy again!

[@jaxongarrison3896]

We have the same birthday; Happy early birthday MDB! Your videos always kept me busy when times were rough and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we appreciate you more than you can imagine

[@charlessegale6493]

Dude, your health comes first. As much as we want to watch your videos, they mean nothing if you're not OK. We don't watch them for the challenges: we watch them for YOU. You're candid personality does more for us than you may realize. We can always wait. Take care of yourself, MDB! We all want you to pull through!

[@brucekelso2024]

Please take your time to be well for yourself and your family. I hope you are getting some answers to what's been going on and that you can get some peace of mind. As a dedicated viewer for years now, and someone who was watching your videos while also going through scary health stuff a while back, I can understand how you feel. You and your videos got me through some rough spots and I only hope your amazing community can help support you in some way. We're rooting for you MDB!

[@declanhampson1098]

Good to hear that you’re on the mend, and have also acknowledged that you need to take it easy when needed. Much love ♥️

Hope you feel better soon! Your health is super important and we will support you through everything!!

[@shelfigor]

please rest up and be kind to yourself! we'll be here for here during this time off and once you get healthy again! i discovered your videos from the first magikarp challenge you did and heck, your more recent videos even got me interested in playing oblivion! thank you so much for the years worth of entertainment and i hope your recovery is quick!

[@SquishieBoo]

From someone that has many pass-outs from high blood pressure, I can relate to that scary feeling. I really hope you can get through this. I look forward to your vid every week but at the end of the day your health is worth more than my entertainment. Take care of yourself my dude! I'll still be here when you come back from your medical hiatus!

My dad very recently had some weird and unexpected health problems, which ended up being a mix of pnuemonia and COVID plus a blood clot that triggered a minor heart attack. So you needing to take the time for yourself and your well-being is something I, and everyone else, more than understand and would encourage. I've only been watching you since mid-2018 but you've always done a lot for us. You always have such a nice and positive view of things, and if there's an occasion where something upsets you, you'll do your best to spin it into a "man, people are just kinda dumb"-way rather than what most people would probably default to which is "oh shit oh god they're reacting and treating me this way based on something I said or did, I can't undo this, no one will forget this, etc.."-way. From experience, it's nearly freaking IMPOSSIBLE for me to not think in such a negative way by default, for a lot of reasons not really relevant to this or that should be discussed in KZbin comments, but you've certainly helped me start to curb that automated mindset from when I started watching your videos in my senior year to now as a 22 y/o. It's been one helluva process trying to improve myself but I can't see how I would've ever started to have a more positive outlook, sometimes accompanied by an unpredictably wholesome yet batshit crazy moment, if it weren't for you or that first Pokemon challenge you uploaded. Now I have rambled on a bit too much, but regardless I hope all will be well soon MDB. Take this time to recover, you deserve it

[@rafikkee6746]

Thanks for taking the time to update us. Your videos have been one of my comfort shows for awhile now. I’m hoping you get better soon.

[@dougiejones33]

i had nearly the same prognosis i had at a bingo hall about15 years ago, i nearly thought i was having a heart attack but it turned out to be a mild panic attack and doctor told me not to let stress get to me, do stuff that makes me happy and meditate, havent had a bad episode since, you take it easy and come back when your ready :)

[@Zap113]

Gen 1 rage only run. Seriously love all the challenges. Have been binge watching this Playlist for a while

[@starclaymore02]

Hope everything goes well for you. Thank you for all the work youve done so far, and here's to the comback of the century when all's good!

[@seifer447]

Hope you feel better soon my guy. I love your content and you always seemed like a really chill guy. Wishing you the best MDB.

[@idnada5641]

Best of luck to you man feel better soon hopefully they find what’s going on and it’s nothing serious

[@kierancooley4106]

happy early birthday mdb! i hope you recover quickly so you can get back to making amazing content you are an amazing person just focus on getting better!

[@MawChamp1990]

It’s gotta be a scary and horrible time for You MDB, I hope You keep fighting and stay strong, I discovered Your videos a couple of Years ago and I’ve been glued to Your Pokemon Stadium streams and Your Pokemon Challenges, it’s so unfortunate that this is Your last challenge for a long time but naturally Your health is the most important thing. All the best to You, keep fighting

[@AndrewDavis2112]

I hope you get better soon. As a challenge runner myself I know how grueling this production process is, and I hope you can get some rest. You got me into these challenges in the first place, and those really helped get me through the pandemic, so my heart goes out to you. If you need help editing, scripting, whatever you need I’m more than willing to help. Peace and love to you and your apparently very healthy heart

[@talklein39]

I have been reading what you wrote here on the community but wanted to hear you tell it, thank you for sharing. I wish you good health, and that you'll figure this out as soon as possible, being sick sucks, but not knowing what you got is worse. As someone who has been suffering from anxiety attacks, they are definitely no fun and aside from see a psychiatrist the best mathod to deal with are breathing exercises, so you definitely know what you're doing. I wish that all your worries would be what to do on next week challenge.

[@rondeguzman4097]

35:45 Nothing says maturity and growth than saying out loud "I'm a big boy now" 👍

[@ejsimps231]

Hey Man, I discovered ur channel a yr ago and as much I like Pokemon I've really enjoy seeing ur runs. They're unique, entertaining, and also very inspiring. Get well soon Man and stay strong. 🙏

[@HylianSpheal423]

Take care man, I had covid 3 times in 2020/2022 and your videos were always the first play I went! If your strong enough to beat pokemom with a hoppip you can survive this!

[@LiamFromNewBarkTown]

Sorry to hear of your issues you're going through atm MDB. Your videos are something we all look forward to but we all want you to be making them when you're feeling more like yourself. I had a health scare myself last year over the course of weeks waiting on doctors results ect had my mental health in a bad way but watching your videos always helped me forget and ease the anxiety that was torturing me at the time. Thankfully it turned out to be something very minor but a big part of it all is being kind to yourself and not letting anxiety eat you up. Take care of yourself and look forward to seeing you back to yourself when you're better.

[@druidwolf7287]

I know I don't really say much but hope you feel better and make a safe but speedy recovery! I know when I found your channel initially was I think sometime over the course of the pandemic but I can honestly say, you keep doing what you're doing because I'm honestly low key inspired to do challenges of my own after watching so many of your vids! and thank you for also helping me through hard times... these past couple years haven't been easy for me. and truthfully just thank you for everything and being an inspiration to others! Until we meet again, take care of yourself and we'll see your next challenge vid whenever that may be :)

[@dollenrm]

Yeah you got it right that was an ecg or electrocardiogram. Shows how the electric signaling is going on in your heart as well as some other things like it can check for pulmonary hypertension etc. I'm happy to hear your getting tons of testing done and that you've been doing mostly okay. Hang in there mdb. Also as someone who suffers from panic attacks yeah they're no joke they can be debilitating for sure.

[@brentrobinson3275]

Ok i see why the video was longer. Glad you ok man. I love these videos. It brings me joy. Man from being cheated on this was all i had to ease my mind. So thank you

[@timmyjimmy3647]

9:05 @mah-dry-bread jokes on you, I was going to watch till the end anyway.

[@sohambhowal3510]

Stay safe man. We all love you and are hoping for your speedy recovery. No need to rush with the vids. Take care man ❤️

[@Medabee8]
