Is it OK to just be yourself?

Social media is amazing for sharing and connecting with people but are you aware how much it influences you both toward and away from doing the things you really love? I visited popular comic event in Japan, Comitia, this weekend and discovered the liberating power of just being yourself.

I've learned through my 3 years of streaming on Twitch that sometimes, doing something popular can be detrimental to your brand. Literally just be comfortable in your own skin and you'll be fine.

I create what I want. Creativity makes me happy. Not the likes or views. That magic you feel when you create something should be more than enough for the creator.

You've been one of the most iconic people in online space for me. Anytime I think of KZfaq, the FGC, Twitch, coffee, so many things - you're who comes to mind. So I'm very grateful for how your content is, and has gone. I first saw from a PS Vita video you did, and you've just consistently come back up in media no matter where I go. Thank you so much for your content ♥

I liked art styles of manga coming from 90s and 80s. I don’t even live in Japan. Not born there either. It’s just that older mangaka emphasised more on breathing life to your drawing and focusing on expressions to invoke emotion in the reader. It was very philosophical and relaxing to draw and see/read. The whole process of building a story what they want to make and all that was just so fun. Mainstream isn’t bad but I don’t want to see a copy pasta of everything with no individual interests. This satisfaction is what success always seemed to me

Hey! Just wanted to say a big thank you for these videos. Ive been really enjoying your content. I've never been particularly introspective, but your videos really have a way encouraging that kind of reflection and honeslty i often come away feeling better about little things that mightve bothered me before, which has been really nice actually and I'm very grateful.

It is important to not Please everybody. Wont happen anyway. Stay unique, if You are. Stay true to Yourself.

One of the coolest concepts in life is how different are we from the other humans around. To be happy and confident about our own existence and “jam” is just great. Social media has done an irreparable damage to our daily lives… why do I need to get X job or study Y major to be successful? I guess that, when we find or acknowledge our own “uniqueness”, we can actually be happy. Also, Popayán is a region from my beautiful country, hope you enjoyed your coffee, great video !

I think this is why a lot of artists do both and usually create an alternate identity where they're more true to themselves. Or they pursue multiple areas under multiple names and see which one catches. More than one way to skin a cat! And if you're afraid of messing up - buy more cats!

Holy *hit its been years since i saw a video of yours and I’m subscribed! This is the first time yt recommended me a video of yours in years and looking at your post history you’ve been posting for a while. I wonder why it didnt show me ur vids before

@NihongoGamer Ай бұрын

The algorithm felt it best to focus on viewers who are searching for products I review but as a result my subscribers stopped getting notified. Now I’m tracking the analytics and I think it’s course correcting to notify my actual subscribers more than before.

You present as personable and passionate about your hobbies. Tbh I tune out a lot of the button mashing (jokingly said) as it's not a core interest, but you seem like someone with a unique edge and your editing is amusing. I find general discussion topics more interesting so hopefully you just be you. We share an interest in the bean so there's that as well. Some detest coffee, others water. You can't be the ice and please the water or steam people but you can share your context. I still check in when the algorithm floats your work to the surface. Keep grinding and keep it real.

23:50 this video pleased me! Loved the discussion. would love to visit an event like that in Japan one day! We just did MCM Comic Con in London and always love walking through Artist Alley, it really does feel like a little village of people just enjoying sharing their own creations! :D

i very much enjoyed this, it was very nice to watch and listen while i had lunch. i always seem to come back to these types of videos after a while and rewatch without the lunch-eating aspect which lets me fully digest (pardon the pun) whats being said, but i think the value of having those niche things that are your unadulterated hobbies and interests are much more valuable in the world of creating anything. genuine passion always seems more appealing to me than following the flow of trends or what performs the best for whatever audience.

No, it’s not possible to please everyone so your priority is to please yourself first then the rest will be bonus.

You can't please everyone. Case and point: modern western gaming and movies. Find your niche, be consistent, stick to it, and do your best, and people will come.

My first game, King Of Biters, has been in development for over 10 years now, and I don't mind this fact. I had too many ideas and too much drama in my life to really focus on it as a commercial product, but now, as I've found a more comfortable job and reduced my debt and bills, I've found renewed focus and drive to get my work out there. Am I going to be rich? I don't honestly care; I love what I do and just hope my work can inspire someone to try. 😊

I literally can't be myself on account how much the Allisitic side of society despites me for being on the spectrum so I have to mask up. I'd say the A word but I don't trust YT filters

There’s many layers to this and I appreciate you being open about it. Finding the right people who understand and accept us for who we are can be difficult when social media constantly rewards other users for flaming, escalating and ridiculing one another.
