this is why I love watching lifesteal vids, not necessarily for the big crazy, story focused videos (although they're cool too) but the whole group just seems to have such a good mentality about things and it's really lovely and inspiring to listen to also HUGE congrats of 300k🥳🥳

[@Aspectrin]

Yeah

[@mynamesak]

9:30 I haven't seen a 4 bed one cycle in a while... that was clean Edit: Also hope ur friend's daughter recovers soon. As a teenager I find it devastating that others my age have to live with cancer.

[@tymoteuszmotyka2849]

God, I love rek's philosophy. It's just like: go with the flow. I've been doing the same for around two years and I'm having fun with my life. The same with meaning of life, just have fun and do whatever you want (just be responsible)

[@NBotond37]

Rek, you don't know how much I love to listen to your videos while drawing/origamiing or basically doing all kinds of sit down and use your creativity! I was a really big Minecraft fan, with over 2k hours in 2 years, but I finished. Basically like 9 months ago I decided to change my life, and I'm loving how I live today. I don't watch any Minecraft content creator besides you (and another guy who I only watch a few times because one of my friend) because I think you are unique. You feel like my friend, even tho you don't know anything about me (well maybe if you read my posts on twitter). You are such a talented guy, as I probably watched all of your vids twice, I get to know you somewhat, and what I know is that you are a really kind, and a talented people, with a really nice and calming voice. Thank you for uploading, and I hope that you will continue and I might could speak with you one time😅 Have an amazing day! (If something sounds weird, that's because I'm not so good with English😅 please forgive me for that) edit: Also congrats for 300k!

[@justarandomhandle01]

Don't worry nothing is wrong with your English just that people is plural and person is singular so you would use singular for rekrap which is person

[@embarz]

Aww.. such a wholesome chat :D

[@gamingferds]

Oh my god. This is one of my favourite videos on KZbin. 1. Rekrap is in it (obviously) 2. Such interesting questions with an equally interesting response with the video on how you edit and everything else. I love you Rekrap! p.s you forgot to show the fan art at the end of the video

Hi Rek, congrats on the 300k. This video proves that you are one of the kindest and most selfless youtubers out there.

[@vghbsf]

GOSHHH REKRAPPP CONGRATSS, listen man ive been a fan since the very last episodes of echocraft tbh, i have been extremely happy ever since i knew you, you are crazy good, and big motivation to me. ive been noticed once in a livestream as you answered my question, i literally came RUNNING to my bestfriends dms and told her that i got noticed, as i told her every detail of ur reaction to my question and how you answered, everytime i see you post i would run to the video and scream of excitement. i know this message may show im not a true fan or im not that important, it might not be a lot to you as u get comments like this every second. but to me just writing this brings back all the memories i had with your videos and you. thank you for this awesome content, again this may not mean that much but genuinely i appreciate every second of your videos, THANK YOU PARKER. ( i know u probs wont see this, but thank you anyways :)) ilyy)

[@davidandrs3535]

why the hell are you so mature. you don't see people on this level very often, especially as minecraft youtubers. but somehow you radiate it and I can just tell by how the way you are. ever since I started watching it's always been obvious but it's still bizarre that you exist.

I would guess he have done everything he found, to try and improve himself, and made that the most important thing in life. It's only a guess from my experience tho.

[@MrGames9002]

Congrats on 300k

[@DexparH01]

This is off topic but it's scary how you unintentionally guessed what I'm studying at University, that being archaeology Also watching you play Minecraft has been a huge motivation for me to make videos once I get a setup, right now I'm studying at University but I found that I don't have any motivation to continue education so I think I might experiment with content creation and if it doesn't work out, I might go back to university Edit: Funny how most people I've known that played Minecraft(friends and siblings) all had that fear of zombies when they first played Minecraft, especially in the older versions of the game when it was more ominous

Just going to say, as a speedrunner myself (hollow knight any%, unfortunately not that comparable to Minecraft any%), your skill progression has been insane! I really appreciate what you've done to popularize speedrunning because we don't get enough credit lmao

Hollow Knight speedrunning is so fun, I've only done 2 any% runs but yeah respect 🔥

[@Itzmcellyy]

ur the goat rek never stop posting

[@secretmeister]

This was very informative, I am almost exclusively a modded player, and hearing that you are thinking of branching out into that is really cool! I am curious waht type of modpacks you would be interested in.... On a similar note, have you heard about Clockwork? it's a mod that essentially turns minecraft into a full on physics sandbox with planes, boats and cars that you can build.

[@Co11inwood]

Youre videos always make me smile!!!!

[@Minewertym]

I'd love to see Rek being a speedruner in a manhunt

[@mintish_]

3:21 - I think it’s actually really important to just have videos to start with. They don’t have to be amazing, but you need something to watch. I loved technoblades videos because even though the new ones weren’t coming very often, I had years of bedwars and skywars content to watch if I wanted to. With rekrap, that was the same with echocraft. Once I found a KZbinr who had like 4 brilliant videos but I couldn’t find out any more about their personality or if I would like to watch them more because there were no other videos.

[@christmas_fishwies]

crazy that doogile can also telly bridge and is a speedrunner is an amazing combo.

[@ag0136]

I like how one of the longest questions in the video is about peanutbutter covering Wyoming

[@De4thsShad0w]

My (non biological) grandfather just died recently and he spent a lot of his life teaching anthropology and archeology. It made me very happy to hear someone telling people to learn anthropology.

[@JosephBurnett937]

I just genuinely love how deferent and original you are. All of your vids are just so interesting and refreshing to watch

[@SkinnyB0nez000]

the melon vids are so enjoyable. PLEASE make another one

[@Flitch300]

21:30 - Rekrap, I had an idea for a semi-fix for this! If you use(d) your free cam (or whatever it's called that can record your gameplay), you could've just voiced over it and sent it to him for the video (it may be scuffed, but it's better than nothing! 😂) (*This is assuming this isn't the same thing that corrupted along with the recording itself!)

[@xNaomiz_]

16:33 In my opinion the public lifesteals server is not pay-to-win even though it has a Crate mechanic to keep the server running , because the loot in the crate is something that you can get in Minecraft normally for example if I remember correctly the cheapest crate has enchanted iron armor and enchanted sword and the most expensive crate has a pot 3 diamonds armor and enchanted sword .

[@sweetcorm]

17:40 if I am not wrong, after 1.13 (or maybe earlier) Minecraft supports raw mouse input, therefore enhanced pointer precision doesn’t affect the game. But if you are playing something like 1.8 on Hypixel, then you either have to turn it off or install a mod that enables raw mouse input
