TRYHARD THURSDAY BUT I PLAYED WHAT THEY DID

[@MP13.]

Sam please keep doing on stream content. I wouldn’t want you to feel like you’re forced to avoid interacting with others (stream chat) so you can get a recording, especially if that recording may take hours to get. I just feel like it’s healthier mentally to have the option of recording solo, without it being the standard or a requirement

[@celestrius9197]

I was kinda thinking the same thing. If I have a vote it's whatever feels better for you to be doing. I actually think the videos turn out better with chat because there's more engagement ingrained in that but at the same time if you don't want to talk anybody but want to record hey man do a solo it's NBD. I just want you taking care of yourself Sam❤

[@cantfightshow]

Well thought out comment! I second this!

[@SamDaDude]

Thanks so much! And thanks for the likes that second the opinion

[@celestrius9197]

@@SamDaDude love you man. We're here for you because we enjoy what you bring to the game. Anybody who thinks otherwise isn't one of your consistent fans

[@bjey]

I personally think that a mixture of both is perfect, off stream content is kinda more chill and personal for me, on stream content is more hype and interactive

[@hadiseblani29]

Honestly, whatever method allows you to release more videos is the best

[@madelinef17]

not the immediate “i made a mistake.” after locking in mercury 😭😭💀

[@diegomuniz3911]

Personally love the mix of both. Seeing you interact with stream and seeing how those go is cool bc I never really catch the streams. But just when ur on ur own I really enjoy just the talks and comments you have! It’s all so goooodddd

[@vukjanicic82]

I like the mix Your offstream content is much more focused, talks about builds, strategy and the way you think. I also love stream content. Feels chill, chat is fun and makes you be more positive and generally you smile more with them. Soo I ll say a bit of both, for me content like tryhard thursday I would prefer its just you sweating and like Tilt tuesday with chat where you meme with some trash gods and having fun

[@cman35375]

Feel this, maybe TILT and hard Thursday off stream everything else on

[@FumetsuGetsu]

On stream is really cool! It's nice to see people to interact in real time, and I feel it lets you yap more, which I believe to be a big part as to why your videos are fun! ❤

[@Roze_z33]

"lets give backshots to the titan" 🤣 32:47

[@burningrose_bailey]

i have to agree with most of the comments here, im a big fan of the mixed content. i saw someone else say this in a comment and its a perfect way to describe it the solo content feels more chill and focused on the game (build, mechanics, ext) but then the stream content feels more fun and lighthearted, the chat is always so chill and supportive! shoutout to the twitch chatters! but ultimately what i want is whatever is best and easiest for you to make, ubove all what YOU want to make is what we love to see! keep up the great work big man sam!

[@IBB98]

Sam I love both the on-stream and off-stream content, I'm happy with both. Cause I love your content, full stop.

[@alexcardoso3232]

i genuinely love any and all content you put out haha. Whenever you’re having fun and gaming i’m happy to watch love you Sam

[@grabthetoolie3123]

"iii made a mistake... I made a mistake.."😂😂😂😂😂

[@benkane-n9f]

I love the Arachne game “I said oh jeez because I was gonna invade” not because it’s your first game and you just queued with arguably the best duel player in the world first game 😂😂😂😂

[@xilikeyourdad13xseig18]

Bro literally watch every single vid u post it’s become a ritual🙌🔥

[@Daevectus]

Hey Sam. Been watching a long time and love the off stream content but on stream with chat has been a refreshing change, it's nice to see your community chilling and chatting. Don't feel like a 3hr stream is bad! Some of us can't sit still longer than that LOL

[@ryanboyle6660]

Barely play smite anymore but loved seeing this pop up on my feed! It’s been a while, nice to see these vids again

[@xleaselife]

I'd say go with whatever suits your mood. Both forms are just as entertaining as one another. And the less restricted you feel, the better the content will be, which is a win/win for everyone.

[@tranquil5892]

21:05 Bro you are so real for this, my goat for a reason.

[@dlewis101994]

I like both! Tryhard Thursday and Tilt Tuesday should be us yapping and everything else can be streaming and KZbin! Let's see the content!!!! Keep up the amazing content!

[@BlueYY_]

Idk about y’all but something about Sam laughing at an interaction with a viewer makes me laugh. So I’m going to say on stream content but I love either!

[@BlueYY_]

Honestly either because the interaction I was talking about was off stream so it doesn’t matter😂

[@connors9471]

I love stream content on every video Sam, I think Tryhard Thursday would be the day appropriate for taking the game a little more 'seriously' to avoid getting trolled but also, you do you boo

[@nickk6680]

Dear Mr. Samalander, It has come to my attention that you have requested a comment on your Tryhard Thursday video regarding the issue of whether to include on stream content or not. I, for one, love listening to whatever content you put out and therefore do not mind either way what content you put out. I have been a daily viewer since 2022 and have loved every video you’ve put out. Your energy is top notch and I vibe with you even if you’re streaming (which I catch every so often). This whole string of text to say love the content Sam, keep doin you. Smooches

[@ShadowXSegaXx]

I like both content but I do really like non-stream content because of the more personal and engaged feel

[@qp4565]

i think both forms of content is good they both give off chill vibes

[@ryanphillips6755]

Whatever content you enjoy making more is what I’ll watch!

[@demonofchange]

I love the stream content and the off stream content. Doesn’t really matter to me where the gameplay comes from, I’m here for DaDude content.

[@Diego-de6dq]

I personally prefer at least tryhard videos to not be on stream, just because they feel much more cozy, but that's just me though.

[@copperbeardjackson6530]

Other comment said a good point about it being healthier to have the option to record solo which is completely true. I want to highlight how much you have grown as a creator :) I remember waaaay back when you had videos that you took from your stream and you later told how you felt them being lazy content. It was true back then because there was such a huge difference in energy with the videos from stream and off stream. Now I feel like you are so much more comfortable either way that it doesn't matter at all if you stream at the same time as record. Growing as a creator and also seeing you being more positive in your life is such a great thing to see you achieve man!

[@SamDaDude]

Aww thanks man

[@SethLeicht]

Brother, we love ALL of your content! On stream or off stream, you are my favorite channel 😊🤘🏼

[@1986mathew]

I like all the content you put out, keep them coming bro

[@fullsker1048]

Sam, I love both content. The fun and live questions with the stream is great. Maybe like once a week do an off stream video? Just because I love hearing what you’re actively thinking and planning for the game and think that’s a great value for learning. Whatever you do, thank you for being you❤

[@74lliw]

At first I was very much against streaming during recordings because I associate it with all the other content creators who just post their streams on KZbin. But you have been able to maintain the same quality of your recordings and have the stream on at the same time. I do slightly still prefer without stream so it feels more personal, but either way works for me!

[@SamDaDude]

Thanks for your honest feedback! I think I'll probably end up doing a bit of both.

[@UploadedOnline]

personally enjoy the off-stream duel vids, but at the end of the day whichever works better for u is the one u should go with

[@guyroxorz]

First game of duel and he kills sam... something most of us can only dream of.

[@anthonyrocha7344]

Honestly doesn’t matter if its off or on stream content as long as its samdadude content, and i think others would agree

[@Elemen56]

Sam I feel like try hard Thursday should reserved for you to teach us the best of the best in duel. Like the best picks and builds / matchups

[@theflamingoboy5748]

I watch on Twitch a fair amount of the time anyway, just do whatever you want and whatever will allow to make content with the least amount of stress. Love you brother

[@Stagesme]

I say whatever is easiest for you dude. I don’t mind having the chat or hearing you respond to chat. It makes it a bit like I’m watching a stream but that’s neither good or bad for me. I just appreciate you’re dedication to YT as I don’t Twitch

[@jonathanvasquez7417]

I don’t watch the streams. Don’t have the time. But I do prefer seeing chat. I feel like chat keeps the energy going too. Love the vids Sam

[@Jordon_Washington-Iler]

I dont care what you do. I think either one is fine. I do enjoy the off stream because it lets me feel more personally connected to you as im almost exclusively a KZbin viewer. However, whichever is the most convenient for your wife, schedule, and mental state always works best for me. Love you, bro.

[@jamesgilley8024]

I enjoy either one. Seeing you makes my day either way.

[@alexramsey6338]

I think a mixture of both on stream and off stream. Keep up the awesome content man!

[@nw2623]

Hey Samdadude, I’m sorry for typing up a storm in your comments but I wanted to let you know that you are such an amazing guy. I’ve been struggling with depression and I’ve been thinking about suicide a lot lately and you’ve helped me out a lot when I feel down. I don’t know if you’re going to read this, but your content has inspired me to be a overall better person and especially a better smite player. I started playing duel because of you! I’ll stop typing now but thank you so much for all the work you do. It makes a big difference in my life and I’m sure many others

[@SamDaDude]

Please find friends family or a licensed professional to speak to about those feelings.... I've been there and I don't wish it on my worst enemies.

[@jaimeromero84]

A mix would be great. There's a different vibe in both formats. Both are cool and would be ideal to have both.

[@forrestgurmp3494]

Both, both is good. Both your on stream and off stream content are good. I only watch on youtube, and am never on twitch. But I like to see you chatting with others as well in your videos.

[@royalmeida8163]

For me, it's the same. The important is you haha. I'like to see you playing Charibdis, Chang'e, Ishtar, Jing Wei, Olorun, Serket, and PLEASE Yu Huang. Thanks!

[@DocGasia]

I like both 😅

[@jeanneauboons]

Love the content with and without chat. Go with whatever suits your mood at that moment ❤

[@JibblyEXTREME]

I enjoy both styles of videos, only difference with on stream I find myself getting distracted by chat alot, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[@someebodycruel]

I prefer the more personal Sam videos but I don’t mind the stream videos either. I think that for tryhard stuff it’s nice to not have stream distractions

[@-Shinx-]

I like the On stream content, you seem more relaxed and comfortable

[@Pheonix4289]

I like the on stream videos. Its fun to read chat

[@Zerkaholic-jq2wh]

The best content will always be the you and rexsi content but either or all uploads are always good

[@garrettfrizzell6582]

I love both man fr heck just post both double the content/ money lol

[@XxPenutBritlexX]

My honest opinion is that you should do what you feel like doing. Your loyal followers and most other people wouldn’t care, as long as you’re happy with what you’re doing man! 👍

[@celestrius9197]

I wouldn't want skins to have straight pay to win obviously that's just silly but it could be a cool idea for all skins to have stat modifiers as long as they were balanced overall. Like if skins had bumbas type increases and decreases that could be pretty cool. 15% dmg done and dmg taken for example. Maybe an aphro skin has 15% healing and 10% increased cooldowns. Idk theyd have to play with a lot and it obviously would be very difficult to keep truly balanced but it could make builds unique to skins and just more strategy required

[@masonvolz6797]

I’m indifferent, I think both ways are great! I think a mix of both would be great to where we can keep the offline community but also not exclude the twitch community

[@andrewsutton9826]

I like both, but the on stream content is especially good because I think you do a great job at filling any dead space in talking specifically about the video with interacting with chat. You also never focus chat making it feel like KZbin exclusive content still.

Im mostly a youtube sam enjoyer, and to me both on stream and off stream vids are cool asf. None of the two options has a disadvantage in my book.if it was up to me I'd say do it as you prefer, I'll still watch them, is not like the commentary is super different and stuff

mix and match i like the off stream talking through what you're thinking. However just off stream content can get hard to want to do it a lot without people to talk to.
