yo.

I'm so proud of you. You give me faith in the future of gaming essays here on KZfaq.

Huge congrats Raz!

Congrats on being a dad! I'm sure your little human will be lovely

proud of you raz

Whoa! That's amazing! Congrats my man, I'm sure you'll be a phenomenal dad :)

Honestly, I still want more Gaming for a Nongamer. I know it can't be a permanent series or anything, but that series did so much for helping me bring my wife into the world of games. It helped her so much to see that her discomfort and unfamiliarity wasn't something unique to her. I would love to just see more footage of you and the woman you live with playing games.

congrats dude! i always love hearing your thoughts on KZfaq and making videos (and how they're often creepily similar to mine), and i'm sure you're gonna be an awesome gamer dad :)

A simple update video, and it's still one of the most insightful videos I've seen in weeks. Your ability to tie together games, real life experiences, and personal takes - while making it engaging and informative for all viewers (gamers, fellow KZfaqrs, anyone!!) is absolutely incredible. Congrats on everything you've achieved! And congrats on the baby. That's incredible news!!

"The baby we live with" aaand my heart has melted. Congrats on the baby and on entering this new stage of your life!

"The baby we live with" hell yeah!! congrats to you both c: take all the time you need! I will for sure still be here and excited for the new videos

Congrats man! This video really gives the best insight on KZfaq as a career, it is *hard* and the initial grind is painful. The payoff is worth it, but for how long always remains unknown. I'll keep watching as long as you keep putting stuff out :)

Congrats, Raz! I’m one of the people who discovered you through the “Gaming for non-gamer” series, and I immediately fell in love with your style, analysis, and insight. I have binge watched most of your videos going back ever since. I’m so happy for you and to the Lady you live with, and I wish you all a bright future with your baby. Sending so much love your way, and stay awesome my dude!

congrats on the new addition to the family, raz! can't wait to see what you've come out with next, your stuff is always phenomenal :)

Hey Raz, I'm not the kind of person to write a youtube comment, but I became a dad to our perfect little girl last summer, and I'm really happy for you. Your videos bring me incredible amounts of joy and I can't wait to see what you do next.

Not gonna lie, when I saw that "Baby we live with" onesie a tear did escape my eyes. Congrats to both of you! Also, as a dad of 3, buckle up buttercup!

With this news about Razbuten becoming a father I know as a fact that dad jokes will make their way into videos eventually lol.

Congratulations on adding a 3rd bag to your family! Can't wait to see what you put out in the future.

Congratulations!

Full transparency this is the second video i’ve watched of yours, before this I watched your gaming for non gamers video from 2 years ago after it was recommended to me. I then ran to your channel to find your latest video and saw this. I’m very glad to hear you’re going to continue making videos, you’ve earned a new subscriber… or two if you count my other account. More importantly however, congratulations on being a soon to be father! I know I don’t know you or anything but you seem very genuine and you’re clearly passionate about what you do, I wish you and your family the best and I can’t wait to see what you do ~your newest fan.. as of now though, you’ll have newer fans in no ti- oh there’s new ones already i took to long writing this joke aside take care and take as much time off as you need for your dad duties, congrats again!

9:08 the "The Baby We Live With" jumper put the absolute biggest smile on my face. Congrats to ye both!

Congrats on becoming a dad! And congrats to The Lady You Live With Too! Mine's just turning 5 and I can def confirm that becoming a dad changes a lot in your life, especially how certain story beats and gameplay mechanics will trigger engagement and positive feedback loops in your head once you've spent enough time in tune with and caring for a helpless little bundle of joy. I'm acutely aware that shows and games I loved in my younger years now cause me some distress, so I'll love to see a "How Parents Play Games Differently" video some day from ya.

Just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite KZfaqrs, standing out in such a saturated niche. I get excited every time I see you upload a new video and stop everything I'm doing to watch. Thank you for the amazing content that you create. I especially love your more reflective pieces, such as "The Sound of Loneliness" and "Vibe Checks in Video Games", two of my favorite videos of yours. They hit a cord deep inside me and I've watched them over and over again, even if I just want to relax. I'm so happy that things are going well for you and I'm excited to see where your channel takes you. As a small KZfaqr hoping to one day make a living off of creating what I love as well, just wanted to say you're a huge inspiration for me. Thank you for bringing just a bit more light in this world. ❤️

I can hear the smile on your face in your voice. No one is ever ready and there's never a good time. You'll do fine because I can hear your joy. Congrats, Raz and Lady.

Having a child would be great for the environment. You could re-use the paper bag masks to put their school lunch in.

Congratulations to you both! Btw we're big fans of once upon a roll in my house, as well as your main channel videos.

I'm so happy for you Raz!!!! Congrats on your new little person. I love every video you put out and find each one intriguing even if it's something I don't think I'm interested in. I've learned to trust your taste in content, and I am never disappointed. I'm excited for whichever direction you take your channel :)

Man, I was just watching the colour of corruption. I legit ended up teary eyed at the end. I'm so happy for you and I wish you three all the best. Take all the time you need and we'll be waiting. Congratulations ❤️

if you're looking for names, "the human grown by the lady I live with" isn't half-bad in all seriousness, congrats, and I'm looking forward to what comes next!

I'm not going to repeat what everyone else here are already saying, even though they are all right, the positive ones that is. but I am going to say that it's okay to take a break, especially with both the recent events, and the ones coming up, and I hope that you will have a good time with your, now expanded, family.

I just found your channel yesterday and just watched this video today. I'm so excited to find you now at this "new beginning" and see how you grow

Congratulations on the baby !! I just discovered your channel and I’ve been loving it so far !

damn, congrats!

Thirty seconds in, you still sound fifteen bro, love your content.

Congratulations! I should get around to watching Once Upon a Roll. I've always had trouble getting into TTRPG videos even though I've been playing for years.

I love these videos and I love your quality and the effort you put in is incredible. You also clearly state everything and are well spoken making it enjoyable.

Damn, that LiS music hits me every time. Oh, and congrats on your new project. Don't worry about the negative comments - they'll be along eventually - about a decade and a half from now...

I adore your videos man. They really make me self reflect on the experiences I have in games that I play and for that I am thankful. Congrats on the baby!

This is amazing, super inspirational, and from the bottom of my heart congrats Raz! For both you and your growing family!

Ooh, congrats dude! Wish you the best :) There's something about your videos that make me feel warm, the way you talk and express so much love toward your themes might be it. Idk how to say it, but in a way you've helped me apreciate games a bit more :)

Aww when you announced you’re going to be a dad you sound so proud and hearing your happiness really made me smile, congrats! Looking forward to more videos when you get the chance.

Congratulations on the kid man! I think I speak for everyone when I say I’m extremely happy with what you channel has become. We love you Raz!

each one of your videos makes me so happy. best of luck with everything!!!

been watching ever since your psychonauts video, even back then your videos were always some of my favourites on the platform. that said, watching your growth (in as much as one can through a one-sided video viewership) has been really heartening. respect and congratulations to you and your wife!

Love you old man

Raz, I honestly don’t remember when I started watching your channel, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never left a comment before, but I just have to say that I wish you all the luck in the world on your new beginning. Becoming a father was one of the most challenging and rewarding things to ever happen to me. Not every day is rosy, and I feel like I fail more often than not, but I wouldn’t trade seeing my daughter grow and flourish for anything in the world. I also know you have a degree in English and hope you don’t judge my run-on sentences too harshly.

Cant wait to see your journey progress! Congrats on your new beginning and i look forward to your new future (i would love to see a board game!)

Congratulations! I love everything you release so much! Can't wait to watch for a long time to come!

Once Upon a Roll is a wonderful podcast! Highly recommend.

i think this shows an incredible growth in raz and how he isn't putting the weight of the universe on his shoulders. Im happy for him

I just stumbled across your videos and have been really impressed with the quality of your work. You articulate your points effectively and you have a clear point of view. Congrats and good luck.

Just found your channel and your videos instantly resonated with me but mostly out of nostalgia since I’ve fell out of video gaming and have been playing dnd instead, then bam you have a dnd podcast!

You are amazing! Keep it up!

Cheers bud! That's fantastic news

Congrats, man. I just got into your channel and am happy to hear you've got a little one on the way. My little man is 3 now and I can definitely tell you it is the most rewarding thing in my life. Especially teaching him games. So incredible teaching a living extension of yourself about your favorite interests. Enjoy the ride, my friend. They grow fast.

i love your videos, and i love that they come so "rarely" because i know they will be good, and i love seeing a new video from you because theyre good all the time, content and quality and just everything. keep doing your thing and keep up the quality

Congrats on the kid, Raz! Enjoy living out whatever fatherly dreams you've had :)

You're one of my favourite channels to watch, either for entertainment or for deep interesting topics, your videos always have something to offer and each one shows the effort put into them. Your way of thinking and personality combined with unique topics and question's you raise makes you one in a million. Can't wait to see what's next and congrats on the great news!!

Congrats! I haven't seen many of your vids but I've loved each one. Do what you need, your community is behind you

congratulations man!! very happy to see that you've managed to take a second and pan back and examine your own personal growth and give a little timeline of where you've been and where you're headed. excited to grow with you and watch you branch out. you're gonna make the mini-bag VERY proud to look up to you.

"the baby de live with" clothe is so cute. Can't wait for a "gaming for non gamer babies" épisode. XD

Congratulations ! ❤

Congrats! One of the more thoughtful gaming analysis videos (of which there are many!), happy to hear things are going great for you!

Yoooo congrats on the baby you'll live with!! Hope you keep doing videos tho, your essays are awesome, I love this type oc content!

Congratulations!! I love your inspiring content by the way. "The baby we live with" lol

Congrats, Raz! First time commenting after being a viewer for a while now. I hope family life will be great for you & the lady you live with :)

Hi Raz! It's wonderful to hear that your channel is growing and you enjoy making youtube videos for us ( I very much enjoy watching them), as it's commonplace to hear that youtubers burn out easily and need to take time off because of their anxiety or depression even. I'm very glad to hear these things didn't knock on your door (if they did you seem to doing a good job of keeping them out). I think I speak for all of your viewers when I say we love you here. Congratuations on the baby and good luck in all of your endevours!

Congrats!!!! :DD And that little jumper is just too adorable, I'm melting :')

Oh my gosh I totally got teary eyed at the end of this. So happy for you both and looking forward to this new era ❤️

Best of luck!

Started checking out the once upon a roll series and I have to say, absolutely worth the time. Very well told without being overdone or dragged out too long

Huge congratulations!! 🎉 Such wonderful news! ❤️ Thank you for this KZfaq channel. To new beginnings. 👍

I'm so excited for you. Fatherhood is a wonderful, special experience. Treasure it. Take lots of pictures. Trust me on that one. Every month is a new adventure that first year.

Oh my god, congrats to you and The Lady You Live With! I'm happy you're doing well, as I adore this channel and your video essays, and I wish you the best of luck with The Baby You Live With!

Congratulations, very exciting! And also, colour of corruption is one of my favourite KZfaq videos. So good, thank you for making content that I want to watch

Congrats on well and truly making it; the contentment in your voice at the end fills me w/ joy for you. You're an icon and an inspiration.

10:03 i dont think you wanna compare ur own baby with that kinda baby if you know what i mean

You frickin' rule Raz. Keep being an inspiration.

Congrats man! Love ur content, wish u and the lady u live with all the best!

KZfaq has shown me more of your videos over time and I finally binged all of your gaming for a non-gamer series and subscribed yesterday. So, as a new subscriber and a fan of both you and the lady you live with, Congratulations! I look forward to seeing you grow in the future and the slow upload speed will help me get more acquainted with your other posts over the years.

When are we getting live action Razbuten

Congratulations, Razbuten! Have a nice paternity leave when the time comes, we'll be here when you're back :)

Contras on this step in life! Its really beautiful to see you and this channel grow as I've been watching for a long time. I really hope there will be a Once upon a roll module. That would just be the best! Only the best to you Raz

Congratulations Raz! Ever since I found your channel I loved every second of it, even if I disagree with some of the subjects! And from what I've seen, you seem insanely wise, and smart. I hope everything works out for y'all!

Wow congrats raz! I love your videos and will continue to watch what ever you produce! Your 1 on 1 dnd things sound interesting! My friends and I are going to try dnd for the first time here soon.

Omg congratulations Raz!! Also I didn't know you had a patreon, going to subscribe right now. All the best for you and the lady you live with

Dude I love ur content and I’d wait as long as it takes to watch another video of urs also congrats on your new family member take as much time as you need!

Just wanna say congratulations wish you both (three soon) the very best! Thank you for the wonderful content and enjoy your new journey

!! Not what I was expecting, but very excited! I enjoy your videos whenever they come out so all the best.

COGRATUALTIONS RAZ!!! I've been a fan for a few months now but I've been watching all of your videos whenever I feel down. You're "You can't save the galaxy in A day" really helps me get through some days. I'm so happy for you and even though I dont know you at all, I legit teared up and was so excited, just as I would for my best friend.

i'll definetely be checking out once upon a roll! also just wanted to say i really love your videos and the way you analyze games and media, you're one of my favorite gaming design creators. i really appreciate the in-depth and thoughtful approach you take, and i hope you're able to make videos as long as i'm around to watch you fade into obscurity :)

Watching your channel is important for me because it shows me there really are others that think similarly to the way I do. Thanks for continuing to make content that changes as you change. Great things are ahead and I will be patient and keep watching as you release more to watch. Excited for you and the Lady as you welcome the baby you live with!

It's extremely refreshing to get such an honest look into how KZfaq channels are run and the life behind! The stagnation and slowly losing your job is something I maybe knew subconsciously but had never really thought about, but it really opened my eyes to the much more personal part of running a KZfaq channel; not just the demonitization and good thumbnails part. Keep doing what you're doing - until a better opportunity appears. And good luck with The Baby You Live With

Been a subscriber for a little bit, and your content has really gotten me through 2020-2021, along side channels like Doug Doug and habie173. Great job.

Congrats on the addition to the family! This channel has been one of the few where I can say with confidence that I am always looking forward to a new video, regardless about what it's about. I initially started watching for the insight into video game designs, but I have stayed for the variety of content, because I know that whatever a video will be about it's gonna be well made and interesting. Can't wait to see how the channel develops over the next years.

I have to say, you 'Color of Corruption' video is probably one of my favorites, I would love to see more 'Elements of storytelling in videogames' kind of stuff. I love it

Congratulations! And I'm looking forward to seeing what awaits your channel in the future. 🙂✌️

Firstly, congratulations to you and Lady! Secondly, whatever direction you take with this channel I can't wait to see! I found you through gaming for a non gamer and have been hooked since (to the point I have to show friends and family). I am creeping through the other content, slowly as I spend a lot of my time gaming myself. Love your videos, all of them I've seen, and can't wait for what's to come. :)

I’m a newish subscriber to your channel, but hearing you talk so directly about becoming a parent and rethinking your career/creative path is wonderful and refreshing. I’m a new parent myself and have been in the midst of ongoing serious reflection about what that means for my career and my creative goals. Thanks for this.

love this channel so much yo. always makes my day better
