@@ryanloney3448 yup thats the time to move on. happens with every game eventually. just like the adrenaline hit from beating your first video game or killing someone in call of duty or halo or many others, as the novelty wears off hopefully something else comes along to replace it! after 6900+ hours im still having fun playing tarkov, shitty parts and all. when its no fun i will hopefully be ready to move on to the next game, or rather hope the next game will be ready for me!

Completly agree with you on your points about playing tarkov. It’s great to see variety on stream and on the KZfaq as well. But your tarkov streams and videos do have a complete unique twist on them which makes them very enjoyable to watch. Not to mention your community is top tier as well. Catch you on the next stream dude!

Hex! I was wondering what any tips you would have for someone trying to do the same. I enjoy video games but I always enjoy what I enjoy in the moment. I have thought about doing something similar but I am just curious if you had anything that you would recommend and or not recommend? It is not about the views. It is about recording the joy I get from these games. People question me all the time what is so great about gaming. I then blankly stare off into the sunset because I cannot describe how I feel when; I win a 1v5, when I complete a terrifying raid, when I enjoy cruising throughout the streets with my close online friends. The moments. That is what I am about. I appreciate you for your honesty.

Wouldn't say a lot. Every friend that I played tarkov with has gone down the list of cheap, shameless clones, praising it like they do every cod release and anything else that gets marketed. Then it doesn't work, they all quit it in 3 or 4 days and go to the next one and restart the cycle. Most people are brainless. Most people just follow the hype, unaware of the drool leaking down their chins as they type in their card info. They'll go back when or if these copies stop releasing weekly, unpolished clones.

Exactly my thought, i enjoy game i play game i hate game or bored of game i quit maybe come back maybe not, to play games and think that the devs are your friends is dumb and immature tbh, i purchased Tarkov in 2021 and not planning to quit it anytime soon because Nikita made a stupid decision, i will quit when im bored since i already paid for it, and no one can make me think otherwise

Would love to see you make non EFT stuff for youtube, not sure if its viable but w/e. You are like Aqua, your content is enjoyable because of your personality not because of your skill. Luckily you're a tad bit better than aqua, though that's not saying much. Also, Nikita doesn't care how many people are playing his game, there are no microtransactions. He cares about how many people buy unheard, if you want to send a message to Nikita boycotting wont do anything, not buying unheard will.

If you dont, then dont. Just dont preach to me about how "scummy and terrible" the devs are just to be back in 3 months playing the game again.
