👀... Hi everyone. Been a while, hasn't it.

We'll get into that but first I want to wish you all a belated Happy New Year! Hoping 2026 is good to you, and is full of fulfilment and happy times :)

So where have the videos been, Mage? Well, tbh I've been struggling with some mental health stuff, which isn't unheard of me for me of course, especially this time of year. I think a good chunk of burnout is a primary cause, so I've been doing my best to take a break and recharge.

Timing could not have been worse since we just hit the big 50k subs... which is just INSANE btw, and I've been wanting to do a proper thank you video or celebration for it, but I can't bring myself to really get in front of the camera right now (excluding some streams).

I want to thank you all so much for helping me reach this huge milestone though and hopefully we can properly mark this occasion when my brain stops brainin!

As for my hopes for this year, I do full intend on covering the DQ7 remake in Feb. DQ2 is on hold as I said in that last episode and will get finished once 7 is done and dusted. Also incredibly excited for RE9, but not sure if I'll be covering that on the channel yet. We'll see.

Anyway sorry for this wordy update, just wanted to let you know what's going on!

Cheers for the patience everyone, take care!

I got my niece some Minecraft goodies for her bday today ☺️ she had a great time.

Thanks for all the lovely comments lately everyone. Far too many for me to respond to, but please know you are appreciated and I've read every single one. Even the shitty ones. You guys are the best ❤️

I'll see you really soon 👍

Thanks for giving me your thoughts on that poll everybody!

I probably didn't word it perfectly, I shall definitely be continuing FF Tactics, it was more asking if I should prioritize it over other stuff.

So videos might not be super frequent, but it will absolutely get finished!

Danganronpa fans rejoice! V3 starts today! I know quite a few people have been waiting for that one, and I can't wait to see how it goes. Those videos won't be EVERY day, but I'm hoping to keep them coming at a decent rate.

And... Dragon Quest 2 will be starting as soon as I can! I want to get a few of those done before I start uploading those so please be patient ^^

Hoping we can end 2025 on a high, it's been a rough one and particularly busy as of late, so uploads in general might be a bit more inconsistent. Trying to give myself a bit more space to breath and rest for a while, so again, appreciate your patience!

Take care chaps ^^

Hey chaps, quick poll! Noticed not too much interest/engagement with the FF tactics videos, should I continue or focus on something else? Cheers for all the support on the DQ stuff lately!

Just want to thank you all for the support on the DQ videos so far. It's been amazing! Truly, it's been such a relief! (Hope the mic audio has been ok on these!) Gonna try and get these out as often as I can.

FF Tactics will continue as well. Wasn't going to be a full series, but honestly, I've had too much fun with it to stop now. Hope you're enjoying those too, and any help with likes and all that would be super appreciated.

After tactics is finished, I'm really not sure what will be next, (maaaaaybe Danganronpa V3??) but after DQ1 we'll be moving straight on to DQ2, so I hope you look forward to that!

As for streams, I'm hoping to at least do another stream of Hollow Knight. Really is going to be a stream by stream basis as to whether or not that becomes a full playthrough XD

Hoping I can be consistent but as always with me, nothing is guaranteed... I really appreciate you guys being patient and supporting me after what has been a pretty rough year. You all keep me going. Take it easy!

Hey chaps!

Just a couple of things -

I've been made aware of a current Youtube issue that's affecting a lot of channels right now. Youtube has a "restricted mode" that hides certain videos from channels you subscribe to. If this mode is ON you might not be seeing certain videos from me and others... for some reason this has been activated on many channels without peoples knowledge.

Just worth checking to make sure you aren't missing anything from your favourite channels!

Also thank you for the outpouring of support on my recent update video! Didn't want to be TOO dramatic but I also didn't want people getting upset waiting for stuff I can't really provide right now.

Take care!

Hey everyone, sorry for the radio silence these past few weeks.

I didn't really want to post yet another update full of me being a downer or excuses, but a few people have made it clear to me that my absence has caused some worry for some of you. I really am sorry if that's the case.

I'm just going through a tough time. Mentally I'm just not in a good place most days and I'd rather you guys get the best me I can be. You deserve that much, so until then I can't really say how long it will be before I'm back to normal.

I really want to cover MGS Delta in a couple weeks, I hope I can make some progress on my mental health before then. I guess we'll see.

In the meantime, thanks for your patience. Whatever videos you watch or look forward to, I hope I can get back to my usual self as soon as I can.

Take care everybody, and please don't worry!

Just a friendly reminder to those posting "where's Minecraft?" on my videos...(specifically on my other playthroughs)

I'm flattered you're looking forward to more of that series...seriously. I'm over the moon! Not interested in the other stuff I do? That's fine! I have no issue with that. But please realise I'm a variety channel. I've done thousands of videos over the years and only 9 of them (so far) are Minecraft related.

More Minecraft will come when I can, for as long as I'm enjoying it. As you know I'm going through some tough personal times, and it's not very often I feel up to being on camera right now. I want those videos to be the best they can be, with me as happy as I can be. They take time to make. Things are just unpredictable right now. I appreciate your patience 🙏

Just want to thank you all for the outpouring of support since my post the other day. I haven't had chance or the energy to respond but trust me, it means so much to me and my family.

My uncle passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning. He was with family, and his suffering is over. I'm going to miss him texting me asking how my stream went, or how he'd always have a new gadget to show me. We were very similar, in a lot of ways. It's all very surreal right now. The fact that so many "strangers" reached out sending him love from all over the world... It means the world.

My gran is still in hospital herself, and she needs all the strength she can muster right now. We are doing our best for her, and I know she also really appreciates all of the kindness you showed her son. ♥️

Thanks everyone 🫂

Hey everyone. Just letting you know I won't be on here for a little while. Ive alluded to it previously, but my uncle, who has always lived 2 doors away my whole life, has been fighting cancer for the last year and a half. He sadly has taken a turn for the worst and we've been told he doesn't have long left.

Me and my family are spending as much time with him as we can in the meantime, as long as he can keep up the fight. Appreciate your understanding and please don't worry if I'm gone a while.

Take care of yourselves and your loved ones 🫂
