Hi all. Thank you so much for your kind words from my previous post! I really appreciate that. It's not the sub numbers that discouraged me but view numbers. Moreover, I feel tired in the evening times. Maybe it's because of I'm getting older and older. LOL

YouTube will roll out a new update that changes about how they count views for both of VODs, Shorts, and live streams moving forward next year.

In this month, I haven't got amount of views I had in previous months, so I need to think what I can do to boost view counts efficient again. Like I always said, making VODs and Shorts along with live stream is probably my better way to go. I streamed a lot in August, but I didn't get the amounts of views I thought I would. So that's something I need to solve myself as a streamer and content creator.

Don't worry about me. :) I just need to come out with my strategy and change my stream schedules a little bit based on my personal life. My kid has only a week for the upcoming new school semester (I'm really happy she goes back to school finally LOL). I know a lot of you probably went back to school already. I think I need to focus on streams for weekends again. You know, I used to stream twice on Friday and Saturdays to make sure I could cover all of you from Asian, Euro, and the US hopefully.

Hope everyone is doing well. I scheduled a stream tonight for Phantom Blade Zero on State Of Play. I wonder what the devs will give me tonight.

Hi guys. I just feel like I wanna make this post saying something, so yeah, this is a long post alert!

First, thank you very very much to those of you who still stick with me and my channel since you subbed. Tonight, I saw I have lost 5 subs since Saturday. I felt so tired and had no energy. That's why I skipped streaming on Saturday and Sunday. However, this post is not about me complaining about losing subs.

Second, as a 41 years old man with no job, I'm grateful for what I have. I'm grateful because I made the right decision to start establishing my financial foundation
since 2018 when I got my Software Engineer job as my 2nd career. I'm grateful that I could say no to anyone at a company I worked for, even those who were above me. It's that foundation that helps pay bills and bring food to our table.

I'm grateful for what I do for living since the day I was told my position was terminated. I'm on my own to feed my family, and I have been doing very well for that; otherwise, we would have lived on the street. What I have been doing for living is really what I enjoy to do for real this time. I'm so grateful.

I'm grateful for all of you who like to watch my stuff although I know my stuff sometimes are not that attractive. Sometimes, I do need to take some rest as well because of life. Sometimes, even some of you guys said you were busy in your lives. I totally understand because we all are busy in our lives. That's why I always say that you should focus on you and your life first, and do not worry about missing my streams. There will always be another stream. I make content on YouTube because I really enjoy doing it, but sometimes, I do need a rest for sure. If you unsub because my content is no longer interesting to you, I totally understand that as well, so no worry. I wish nothing but best wishes to you, and I hope one day on YouTube we will still meet again.

I have some words to young folks out there. If you plan to get a job after graduation from college, make sure you know how to make money without the job. If you don't know how to make money without a job, I highly recommend you start thinking about that. Talk to those successful people around you in real life and try to learn from them about how they become that successful if they are willing to tell you or teach you. While you may be still at school, I recommend you start thinking about an idea for a small business you can run. Maybe you will find a pretty good idea for a business that makes you fortune. I have seen a lot of financially successful young folks in real life. I wish I could be them. I wish I started thinking about how to make money when I was 21, not 41. Those are my tips for a video game called "life," and I hope my tips can help you beat it. :)

Start looking into AI if you haven't already whether you like it or not. So many AI models out there these days can do awesome jobs already, so definitely start looking into or learning about AI. Just be smart with your ideas and throw those ideas to AI models and see what how well they can make your ideas reality.

Lastly, again, thank you very much for all you supporting me along the way. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Oh by the way, I may or may not expand the types of content I make on this channel. You know my channel is all about video games, but I started thinking if I should make other types of content as well or not, such as finance and IT related stuff as those are what I'm good at. Please let me know what you think.

Hi guys. I feel tired today, so that's why I skip a stream today. I may or may not stream on Sunday. I need some rest as I couldn't sleep well sometimes at nights because of my dog.

Hi guys! If you can help me a little bit, please click and watch the entire video I attach here. Make sure you also click on the like button and leave a comment, and share the video if you can. All you do will help my video and my channel, so that YouTube Algo will help me push my stuff out to reach new viewers. Thank you very much!

My man Aaron will go live earlier today to cover some topic about trading in the stock market. He will talk about one of tools I have used for trading as well. So tune in if you are curious.

I may need to skip gaming stream today (08/12/2026) as I have something to do for my wife. That being said, I will do a live stream earlier around 9:15 AM EDT as a chat and stock market talk stream. I need to see if I have time for a gaming stream later today. If I do, the game I plan to play is probably Beast Of Reincarnation.

We will stream sometime between 12 pm and 1 pm today. It may be a quick stream though because I need to create a few videos about the game. I came up with some pretty good ideas this morning. :) Hope you all doing well today. See you in a little bit.
