Update video... (time for break lol)

[@Symmetry_Obsessed_Freak]

It’s ok, man! You’ve been at this for so long, you deserve a break. We’ll miss you, but it’s ok to take a break sometimes, especially if it’s negatively affecting your health. Just keep yourself safe, and we support you!

[@realthemariogamer]

Yeah it's very rude how some people are like "WHY HE ISN'T UPLOADING" when they're probably taking a break.

[@DistantKingdom]

A break is definitely good every now and then! Enjoy and take care :)

[@CorruptX]

Looks like we all need a break.. You'll feel better after you're back from it, for sure.

[@anonchange3797]

ayoo bro its corrupt x

[@thesometing7010]

Hey, It's ok, as humans we all deserve breaks. In fact, it's great that you are putting your health before youtube since it is indeed the most important thing to worry about. Thank you for entertaining us all, and have a wonderful break.

[@QuisNawar]

It's fully crazy how you want through all of that without a single break from it, that is fully insane, please enjoy your break from it all, you really need it ❤️

[@sp3edah]

As someone with ADHD myself, I can relate very much to the procrastination and not being able to work, even when what i need to do is sitting right in front of me. What I'm absolutely bewildered at is that fact that you can make videos at all with these problems. Its incredibly impressive and I can't help but be inspired. Even though I don't any of the games you show on this channel (except for the popular Terraria and PvZ), I find myself interested in how you break these tower defense games I've never heard of, Mario RPGs I've never even considered playing, and a lot more such games. I like watching your videos, and although I'm sad they will pretty much come to a halt, I'm glad you're taking that time and putting it towards yourself. I've been personally trying to take a 10min walk/jog every morning after I wake up every day recently. I hope you can find improvement in your health.

[@wijdan3323]

[@lachlanB323]

ADHD gang!

[@alejandropetit6573]

Same thing, I always end up feeling stressed, while leads to a lack of sleep becausr of subconciously knowing I didn't do homework ir other things that I need to do and waking up at 3 am to do it at the literal last minute, which only leads to my sleep schedule getting worse and me getting even more stressed and going down this downward spiral of being extremely unproductive and failing.

[@mattguy1773]

I hope everything goes better soon

[@Flaming_Saturn]

As someone who’s also on the autism spectrum (might also have ADHD as well, but I’m still somewhat unsure tbh), it’s nice to see someone I follow with that same trait that I’ve got! Take all the time you need man, breaks are important ^^

[@thankfulguardian9033]

This was inevitable, good that you’ve finally taken the initiative to call for a break though. We’ll be with ya for whatever happens next.

[@antomicx1]

It's good that you're taking a break and focusing on living a healthier, more balanced life. We all appreciate how much time, effort, and love you put in to produce your videos, but content generation should never come at the cost of your health. If anyone complains that "your videos are "just" text over gameplay and shouldn't be hard to make", don't listen to them because they have no idea what they're talking about! Speaking from my own experience editing a (still unfinished) challenge run video, it takes countless hours to write a script, sift through hours of gameplay for specific video segments, edit those video segments and text together in a well-paced manner, and incorporate music/sound effects/memes to produce a high-quality challenge run video that lasts for 15 - 30 minutes. That makes it all the more impressive that you've been able to make these videos consistently for years despite the challenges of real life. Here's my advice to you. When you return from your break, do NOT feel pressured to make videos at anywhere near your previous pace. Instead, find a pace that works for you and allows you to live a healthy, fulfilling life. Maybe that's one video a month or every few months, who knows? But at the end of the day, it needs to be a pace that doesn't stress you out or turn your passion into a chore. And as you get older and take on additional responsibilities in real life, don't be afraid of re-evaluating how often you upload videos or what kinds of videos you make. Whatever you decide, we'll be here to support you! Have a great break!

[@diegoadrian1530]

[@LeafiSoft]

No worries SGM! You need the break KZbin shouldn’t be putting this much stress on you. We’ll be here waiting for your return :) just take your time with your break and don’t feel that you always have to upload content. We’ll see you soon SGM ;)

[@riven756]

Take as long as you need! It's good that you decided to take a break, your health should be a top priority

[@roshibomb4247]

Please enjoy your break! It's really difficult to keep uploading content for so long (6 years?!), especially with little to no downtime. As someone who's tried to make a bit of content myself, I know how hard it can be to make even a couple of seconds of well-edited content (hence why most of my videos are about 30 seconds long and months between creation). The one time I ever tried to make a longer video (30 minutes) was actually a "text on screen over gameplay" video... and it certainly gave me a LOT more respect for creators that do it. It took me probably 3 days worth of effort to make (what I now consider to be) probably one of my worst videos, lol, it drags on for too long and is paced weirdly... seriously, *massive* respect for keeping these videos thoroughly entertaining for as long as you have been making them. It's a bit of a strange time to subscribe, but I just realized I never did after watching your content for quite a while now... I think it's a good idea to make sure I get notified upon your return :) Have a great summer/break!

[@soulbliti]

I never realised you were going through something like this. I hope everything works out well during your break, and most of all I hope you stay safe and healthy in your life

[@kashunbb]

I feal his pain

[@RapBopzShorts]

I've been a fan of your channel since late 2020 and I'm glad you're now taking a break. I'm a content creator myself and relate to this part 1:00. I've been staring at my video editor for 10 minutes then work for 20 minutes then stare at it for 30 minutes. It's a loop that takes forever not gonna lie

[@parmesean_]

the main thing you've done is given your videos INSANE re watch value. so I can still watch so many videos I've already seen and still be entertained 😊. (or maybe I just have the attention span of a gnat)

[@InvalidOS]

ADHD sucks so damn hard. Honestly, the fact you've managed to keep up at all for this long is impressive to me. I'd probably die trying. You absolutely deserve to take a break.

[@gdartho]

A break is always good when you feel like you need one, don’t force yourself to make content but instead let the desire come naturally. See you next time when that is, and I hope you come back better than ever.

[@purplehaze2358]

We'll see you on the wayside SGM! I only just subscribed recently, but I'm more than happy to let you get some time to yourself without the burdens of content production.

[@smore9831]

[@darianclark3980]

I do feel/thought you did several month breaks bc of the games but I kept forgetting that you had Discord lol. But yeah, enjoy your summer vaca/break. We all do have to have breaks to focus on ourselves, especially this time where mental health is important.

[@jaydenborjas4763]

Im glad for you. Im glad your taking a break if you need it however im very happy that you understand that you need to set limits and have a balance for what you like to do. Even if you quit youtube altogether to better yourself i still wont blame you considering your an amazing youtuber and always have been and you have put 110% effort into your channel. This break means alot to you and im glad you can comfortably make a video about this instead of up and disappearing. Ive been watching you for a while now and you deserve this break. Even if your not as consistent as before. No one will care because everyone loves your content for your content and we dont need so much of it to satisfy us. Because its so high quality and we all love it alot. So get better over the summer and come back with a fresh start. It might just feel amazing to be here again with all your supporters. I know it will for me to see your amazing content again once that time arrives. Im sorry for your health because of youtube. But if you feel its right to come back and upload great videos again. Then please do and make us all happy once more. As you always have.

I have adhd as well. I used to play 8-10hrs a day on top of school days. I completely changed in the time and had a break for 1 ½ years, but got back and kind of found a balance now. When you take the time for yourself, do it ENTIRELY. No excuses and no exceptions. You can do it.

[@anonymouscrouton7726]

honestly i resonate with a lot of the troubles you have, and I tried something similar, and perhaps due to the lack of commitment to return to what i was doing, killed my work ethic for all things, so please just dont fall into that trap, it is really terrible. I wish you the best of luck with your journey.

[@ClassicGameSessions]

I totally respect this and your transparency with where things are at. You've done great things with your channel but taking care of yourself is priority and once you've had a break I think you'll get a better sense of whether your passion is still in content development. Of course we hope to see more content but there shouldn't be pressure - please take all the time you need!

I actually relate to this in a way, I’m not really a dedicated KZbinr anymore and I can’t remember the last time I made a video. I try to have fun with it but I feel I have no real incentive to make videos anymore and I just can’t find the motivation to do so. We all know in one way or another what you’re going through, take that break, you’ve earned it!

[@luizpdrnogueira]

Fucking dopamine sensors have also been destroyed by having to stay at home at my phone and PC at all times. Can relate. Creative output (in my case music) has been dropping down recently and I found out doing a bunch of different things with my time is also a way of "resting" and "taking a break" if that makes sense

[@ziwuri]

Where'd you see the Discord hours graph? I would love another way to quantify how terrible my sleep schedule is. But also hope you have a good break! 6 years of content is already something to be proud of; don't feel the need to like, keep doing the same things forever just because that's what Google wants.

@@eetuthereindeer6671 I am not denying that at all. I did, however, want to point out that you do not know SGM at all. You do not know if he likes to have walks in forests, how he reacts to bugs and other insects and if he would point out interesting stuff on the go. You have to realize that people aren't the same online as they are in real life, especially if you only know them by one-sided means such as watching their content. You have no idea if this is how they are with other people, if this is how they act in other online spaces and definitely not if this is how they act in real life. This is not to say SGM is a bad person, there is no evidence for that so there is no point in making assumptions either. It's just that, again, he might not, and probably doesn't, act this way in his day-to-day life.

I’ve loved your content for about a year and it’s sad to see great channels with little growth compared to other KZbinrs that can gain over 1 million views in less than a day. I hope the break does you well, don’t feel the need to upload videos frequently, KZbinrs that have long break periods between videos still do well. I’m just thinking about myself playing video games casually and without much stress while some people have to manage a channel and make sure that uploads are frequent while at the same time keeping their health in check. Video editing is a lot harder than most people realize even though i’ve done little editing myself (not for KZbin, I only have one low effort video.).
