Let's ramble about the future of my channel

Been feeling like rambling again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My Discord: / discord
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

[@TheDartFrog]

Hey, if you don't feel like doing youtube right now, remember it's fine to take a step back even for several months! I've just done that and it feels great! Maybe after some time you'll feel like doing it again, maybe not, but I'm sure there is still gonna be a lot of people waiting if you decide to come back after a longer break! And don't be afraid to experiment with other games, worst case scenario you'll have some fun playing video games you wanna play - that doesn't sound bad! Also, "Mel-function" sounds cool, I feel like it would fit with variety messing-around-with-games content (kind of like Let's game it out, if you know that creator)

[@Dr-Pixel]

Thanks, Dart Frog! I might take things more slowly for a while, but I def need something to work on from time to time. Always appreciate your support

[@cactus_cuber1589]

Your one of my favorite KZbin channels whatever you post i always watch your videos😊 (Edit: thx for all the likes)

[@just_call_me_studio]

honesty, a glowbug plush would be a banger. id watch a 6 hours stream of someone making that.

[@Dr-Pixel]

OOOH, I didn't even think of streaming it! What a great idea for a chill stream.

[@straightasaspline]

I hope that you just play what's fun and try whatever content you want. Your one of Mt favorite KZbinrs be when you posted your "I'm trans" vid I realized "wait, that's me" and now I have realized that I am actually trans fem after a few months of questioning and realizing old signs.

[@Dr-Pixel]

You go girl!

[@steepercreve]

this is the type of stuff that makes me so happy

[@IsStillVicarious]

I have to say, I do love the ramble videos. Also Melfunction is a fantastic channel name!

[@Dr-Pixel]

Glad you like them! Getting kinda worried that they would just bore people

[@DeepfriedChips]

I was wondering what happened to the voice pitch, this gives me my answer And also like, I’d enjoy you exploring more genres of content and other games, there’s a lot of things you could explore, hardest part is finding things people enjoy

[@Maj_Bavdek]

i'd enjoy if she played horror games

[@Dr-Pixel]

oh, I'm not into horror games sadly

[@Dr-Pixel]

oh, there are things people enjoy. Just might be different people than the ones who currently stick around

Multiplayer is A LOT more work for me to edit and stuff, so I don't really do that anymroe

I'm glad you're happy. Just be yourself and try not to focus on the negativities of the haters. Stay strong and stay safe out there Melony.

[@laurensholthof]

I really hope you'll find your footing again, cuz you don't deserve any less! Good luck with your transition and making content, I'll keep lurking in the comments :)

[@Placeholderacctname128]

Heat from fire! You're doing great. Take the channel in whatever direction you want.

[@RamiGold]

Hey you could try trailmakers! Its a fun game, ive clocken in over 150 hours of it. Dont loose hope, i know u can do it!

[@Dr-Pixel]

I tried it once, but wasn't really my thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@filkos1]

I think that you should try out a game called "Stormworks" It has things that I find lacking in Scrap Mechanic and more. That includes things like: -Fewer glitches in multiplayer -Dedicated mp servers with built-in moderation tools -Steam engines -Rails and train wheels -Modpack-like logic system -Water, Fire, and wind physics -Nuclear reactors that actually generate power It also has more frequent updates: Small every 2 months and major every year. Not to mention LUA coding. It was my go-to game after I got bored of Scrap Mechanic. Hope you find it interesting as well.

[@Luziferne]

I know that I'm Bi for, well all my life and its just that I grow up in the age of the AIDS/HIV scare and it was totally not accepted back then and I hid it for the longest time. Had burnout, depression and therapy were I found out that I repressed a part of me which is never a healthy thing. Still didn't come out to my family, which is... a whole nother can of worms I wish you all the best Mel and don't worry about what game you play, do what brings you joy, be it coding mods or playing Boi... aaah GAMES Go get em Grrl!

[@Hiznogood]

Hiya, just stumbled on your channel after watching kAN and Kosmo play your Raft mod. I immediately downloaded the mod myself and is hacen so much fun! Bought Scrap Mechanics years ago, long before they released the survival mode. Played a bit with it and then tired and moved on. Tried it again when they released the survival mode, but didn’t get hooked. Then again a year later saw some gameplay from kAN and gave it another try and liked it. Your mod makes it even more fun and even if I played a bit of the original Raft game, I didn’t like it that much. But Raft in SC is great and I’m savoring every minute and is not speeding thru the quest line. Just got the harpoon gun and is planning to find the city next. So thanks for a great mod, looking forward to see what else you done and what you might come up with in the future! Btw, isn’t strange that we Sweden has developed so many survival/building games? Minecraft, Valheim and Scrap Mechanics? All from small indie studios!

[@Dr-Pixel]

That's amazing to hear! Spend so much time on it. I hope you might enjoy the next gamemode I've been cooking for a while...

[@hyperkun]

Melfunction is actually a very cool name

[@laszlototh5622]

So Pixel, i have got an idea. Have you tried Portal 2? It has a singleplayer campaign, a coop campaign and a Source SDK, where you can make maps. Also it can be modded well enough as far as i know.

[@yutam6024]

I am one of the people that stopped looking at your videos and i think i know why some people stopped following you (other than homophobic of course). The male voice, being much deeper than a female voice, is reposing and relaxing, wich is always great to hear in the end of the day. But because of your transexuality, you changed your voice wich is much higher. Of course I would never say that you are in fault, I am supportiv towards gays, lesbians, bi, trans, etc. And I am glad that you made this choice if you feel like it's more you. I know it's harsh, but this is my theory.

[@Dr-Pixel]

Well, the voice is like the only thing people perceive of me, so it's no surprise. But eh there ain't nothing I can do.

[@lamatooth5112]

Go at your own pace on this. Just have fun and be yourself. I can't wait to see the new content.

[@GoolemMAn]

When u are ready, u can continue KZbin

[@Dr-Pixel]

don't wanna quit lol

[@jacobobinator]

Love the name Melfunction. Really impressed by the voice. Excited for the future of this channel

[@Ultra4115_]

I mean, the only thing I have to say is that your voice was good enough before but if you really want to keep up the higher voice, just please don't try too much, you might loose your voice box 🤣 But yeah, keep up the great work, all the best :) Cough cough... you probably don't reconize this username but it youst to be IG Gaming or something like that and I was one of the ones on the original flat world server and in that 100 players challenge where we all races up the towers and hid in trees 🤣 So just wanted to say thanks for all the inspiration and opportunities you've given me to grow on KZbin and in Scrap Mechanic :)

[@niil047]

3:36 teardown?

[@lolzaziqoo6847]

[@kittyn5222]

Who's mel

[@StoodJarguar]

keep yourself safe

[@VLena_art]

I honestly think moving away from scrap mechanic is the only reasonable thing to do. Personally I am more interested in you as a person than the actual game. Also I think that a big part of the community you have built up and the gaming community in general doesn't really accept us, girls, and it does affect the numbers. About your voice, I would say, don't hurry, take it chill, don't force yourself to sound more fem on camera, I know how much it hurts, trust me, but I definitely think it is the better and even healthier option. I personally love playing beam.ng but I kind of shied away from interacting with that community because well... cars and games... the community is mostly 14 year old gamer boys and are not very open minded. I wluld love to have a safe community for stuff like that. Maybe we could be that community? (Just an idea)

[@Dr-Pixel]

Thanks! I wouldn't mind having a channel that is gay af lol. But I feel like now that I can be more me, I don't want to hide behind games nearly as much anyway.
