Heyo everyone!

As you all likely know, we finished our playthroughs of Dying Light: The beast and The Quarry recently, and now i need a replacement game, or two for those timeslots. So i wanted to put up a little poll and see if you guys have any particular leaning. I'll take the top one or two and we'll see it on thursdays and maybe fridays! (alternatively, you may see a return to Mario games on fridays)

🤯 MENTAL HEALTH 🤯

I’m slow to this, but June is Men’s Mental Health Month (henceforth referred to as MMHM) — I believe its time to talk about It.

Just like when I posted about women’s health, I have been meaning to take time to dedicate a post specifically to men’s mental health — and this is that post.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
❓ WHY DOES MMHM EVEN MATTER? ❓

That’s a valid question if you're unfamiliar with the issue. But I assure you, it does matter. Supporting the people around us, from friends, to family, to strangers, will always matter. — here’s why MMH specifically matters:


🔹1 in 8 men experience a mental health problem such as depression or anxiety.

🔹Men are far less likely to seek help for mental health challenges.

🔹Suicide rates among men are shockingly high in most countries.

🔹Societal expectations often discourage men from opening up emotionally.

The pandemic only worsened this for a large amount of people. And MMH affects everyone of all ages, all backgrounds, and all identities.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
🧭 WHY DO WE DEDICATE JUNE TO MMHM 🧭


For me, it’s pretty simple:

🔹We need to raise awareness of the mental health challenges men face.

🔹We should be doing more to encourage open conversations and reduce the stigma.

🔹Early intervention and better access to support are crucial and deserve more focus.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
✅ SO, HOW CAN WE HELP? ✅


🔹First, awareness is everything. Many people don’t even know MMHM exists — and even if they do, they might not see why it matters. That needs to change. We can make sure people are properly informed. We ALL have that power. But we need to have the drive to do something about it. To tell the people we can.

🔹Share resources. Spread the word. Let people know where help is available and that seeking it is not weakness — it’s strength.

🔹Check in on the men you care about. Not just “How are you?” — but “How are you really?” Go beyond the surface.

🔹Challenge the stigma. Help make it normal for men to talk about their mental health, just like they would their physical health.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
🧩 WANNA HELP? GET INVOLVED? INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE? 🧩


If you want to support men’s mental health further or educate yourself more, here are some great organizations and resources — and yes, you can donate if you feel moved to:

🔹Movember (uk.movember.com/)

🔹HeadsUpGuys (headsupguys.org/)

🔹Man Therapy (mantherapy.org/)

🔹National Alliance on Mental Illness [NAMI] (www.nami.org/)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
📊 IMPORTANT FACTS 📊


🔹 According to the APA, only 1 in 4 men with mental illness seek treatment.

🔹 Middle-aged white men have the highest suicide rates of any demographic.

🔹 Men’s depression often goes unnoticed, masked by anger, irritability, or substance use rather than sadness.

🔹 Substance abuse might be easy to pass off as weakness but in actuality its usually a coping mechanism

🔹 Men can experience postpartum depression (PPD) too — about 1 in 10 new fathers in fact.

🔹 Men from 'minority' communities often face additional barriers to accessing the help they need.

🔹 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual abuse or assault — yet male trauma is often overlooked.

🔹Men’s depression often manifest physically (e.g., headaches, back pain, sleep problems).

🔹Many men struggle with “performance pressure” tied to traditional expectations of being a “provider.”

❤️ If you’ve read this far — thank you. ❤️


So, what a lot of people might not realise/have known is that I am currently in the middle of my own mental health struggles. Now, I am fine, but I have been trying to get on top of things before they get on top of me. I have worked with a few different services now, taking a look at some issues I struggle with. Even though it may not seem like it on the outside, my motivation has taken a heavy blow as of recently, and my future has never seemed less clear. Don't stress everyone, Like I said, I am fine. Just working some things out, but that is all I feel comfortable sharing, for now. HOWEVER, If you have your own stories you feel comfortable to share, feel free to comment them below. I would love to hear from each and every one of you. talking about our struggles and making sure we are heard is one of the best ways to ensure no one else has to go through what we might have been through. Any external judgement, or suffering, dismissiveness, or critique. ❤️

Let’s normalize these conversations. Let’s support each other. Because mental health, for anyone, is still a very taboo topic, and we should be looking after each other. Mental health is still your health. men deserve care, too. everyone deserves care. Mental health is in a crappy place for everyone right now. Its still a pretty new subject, and a lot of people still dont understand it, or feel ashamed of it. No one, man or woman, should have to suffer in silence, should have to struggle with their health.❤️

If you can share this post around, It would mean the world to me. I want to spread the word as far as I can, and everyone who reads this post has the ability to help me with this goal! even if not by sharing this post, simply talking about the same things I have mentioned today can make a world of difference. Thank you so much everyone ❤️
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
P.S. Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈 month everyone! While I might be more focused on MMHM, I will always support and welcome those from the LGBT+ community, and that will never change. Especially RN, as I realise being LGBT+ comes with its own set of hardships, and mental health struggles 🙏

Salutations Ladies and gentlemen!

I have been working on this for a while, and you guys have seen some preparation streams, so I am happy to officially announce a planned birthday stream for Jamzy. The current plan is that on June 8th I will go easter egg hunting in black ops 3 zombies, aiming to do every single base map easter egg in one sitting (this being Shadows of evil, der eisendrache, zetsubou no shima, gorod krovi, and revelations), However, I will not be taking that super seriously and will not mind if we fail, though I will continue to easter egg hunt after the fact if we do.

OFC, if I could, I wanted to do this with friends, so the current idea is that I will link up with ‪@Jishwaaaaa2‬ and SoCyber to start with, both of whom are welcome to leave at any moment if they cant stay the entire time. Additionally, ‪@lemonexperience‬ is hoped to be able to join us for a period of time, but we are unsure of exactly how well his schedule will allow him to join with us, or when, or for how long, but hopefully he will be able to complete the squad for a period of time, and come share some good vibes!

When this stream is done, I might continue a mini-series into the zombie chronicles maps and do their easter eggs too, where the same group of people, or perhaps other friends, will be invited.

P.S. For those of you that are curious, my actual birthday date is june 5th :p

This week (May 11-17) has been women's health week. Obviously, everyone's health is important, so I wanted to make a special statement this week about women's health. Now, for me, I am going to particularly zone in on mental health, as I understand mental health in general can still be a very taboo subject at times.

Just make sure that if you have anyone, that you're looking after those women around you in whatever ways are required. Make sure they're doing all good up there, mentally safe and sound, as well as keeping up with physical care. Mothers, girlfriends/wives, daughters, sisters, aunts, whatever it may be.

Girls, look after yourselves, because everyone's health is important and I wanted to raise a little extra awareness. Make sure to challenge your doctors if you think something is wrong, because doctors dont always get it right and its worth challenging it if you think they might be wrong. no one knows your body better than you and your body is good at signalling if something is wrong. at the top of my mind as I say this is Endometriosis and the missed diagnosis of that, but it goes for a variety of other things too.

here's some extra facts for yall:

Around 1 in 5 women experience mental health issues during pregnancy or in the first year after giving birth.

Women are often misdiagnosed by medical professionals

Women can be provided inadequate pain medicine after procedures and undertreated for pain by doctors.


Women are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis, especially after menopause due to decreased estrogen levels.

Approximately 80% of people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis) are women.

Love to all my women viewers out there, stay safe everyone <3

Don't let disabilities be an excuse, but understand that having a disability doesn't make you 'broken'. It doesn't make you lazy, or incompetent, or useless. It makes you who you are, and you can be a better version of yourself no matter what you have going on. Your life circumstances, whether it be disability or something else, does not - and will never be able to - define you. We live in a time where understanding of these kinds of challenges Is at an all time high. While its not perfect, people no longer have to suffer in silence. Let's not backtrack progress. These things aren't new, but our understanding of them have developed. And I know I will keep the same open mind to future advancements, instead of waving it away with 'back in my time'.

"We always remember to forget that which makes us sad. We never remember to reminisce about what makes us glad."

Make sure to remind yourselves why you're happy, because knowing what makes life special to you, is the best way to brighten each and every day 🙏

"in the pursuit of greatness, we failed to do good"

ladies and gentlemen, for anyone who needs to hear it, listen up. so often when we pursue great things, whether that be the pursuit of helping others, or improving ourselves, we lose track of whats really important. and that, OFC, is to make any positive improvement at all. You can only achieve great, AFTER you achieve good. Focus on making a positive impact, and then focus on making an incredible impact. if you fall at the first hurdle, how will you ever pass the future hurdles?

I know for me, this often comes in working hard to pump out content to entertain all of you, to make you all happy and brighten up any bad days, to try and improve your day. make no mistake, I LOVE doing that, and I hope i never stop. HOWEVER, recently i have also come to understand that burning myself out doing it is not good for me, or you guys. I have to focus on having a good day, and giving you guys a fun time, before any of us can have a fantastic time. And I admit this shortcoming to all of you publicly, to remind you that its okay not to have all the answers. thats its okay to fall, and fail, to make mistakes or have issues you need to work on. To have things you could be doing better. I want you all to feel comfortable with who you are, strengths and flaws.

HOMEWORK! i want you all to walk away from this post reflecting on the original quote. I want you all to think carefully about it and see if it could in any way apply to you, or what you've been doing recently. you must always tackle the little things before you can seek the big things, and I want you all to focus on the little improvements. Because i know you can all be great, and I want you all to be great. To be all that you possibly can be.

With much love, see you later for PVZ 🙏

Hey hey ladies and gents. after much consideration, I have decided that for the next few days, I will be taking it easy, and we might not be streaming. This does not mean ill be completely absent. I will still be present over at ‪@lemonexperience‬ for our regular plans (L4D, Space marines), and I will still be active on discord or in other people's streams, but i will not be streaming myself. I expect to be back either by friday, or maybe starting to come back thursday night. I just want you all to be informed. I will talk a little bit about my brief break when i do come back for those who are curious!

For those of you still wanting to get your content fill, you can try finding it within my friends, ‪@Jishwaaaaa2‬ ,Lemon as i already mentioned, or ‪@Forbbiden7‬ , or at youtube.com/@UndeadLegends (wouldnt let me mention 😭) If youd like some videos instead.

In other, other news, Some slight schedule changes. We will be starting Luigi's mansion: Dark Moon on tuesday 11th. The 8-10GMT slot on thursdays (starting 13th) will now be taken up by Halo: Combat evolved, and Friday will now be occupied by Terraria Calamity, which will start this week. Finally, I will be trying to do one geometry dash a week from now on, though i will make no promises on this.

I hope These updates excite you, particularly Terraria as I know it has been a long time coming. And talking of long time coming, I am happy to announce that we will finally be revisiting PVZ2 Modding, And right now it is a toss up between PVZ: Requiem, and PVZ: Alternate Univerz, which I believe we will be picking up on wednesday 12th. There will be a poll up in the discord server to decide which mod we check out! (discord.gg/gRwMX9aE)

Sorry to disappear on you all, especially with recent new viewers who have been a delight. all the same, I hope all is well with each and every one of you. never forget that in the darkest of moments, you will only see light when you choose to look for it. Dont make yourselves miserable because you all deserve happiness. I will be back with you shortly, just bear with me. 🙏

p.s. W ‪@j-dog1116‬ who kept me company while posting this.
