Nice to hear from you. Sorry to hear that things aren’t going that great for you right now, I hope at least your living situation has improved. Also I appreciate the update and can’t wait to watch the videos you have recorded. I hope you feel better and find that silver lining you need in order to press on. In the meantime we are all here to show our support and patiently await more. 🤗

It's so good to hear from you, virtual hugs right back at you! I'm really sorry to hear that you had such a rough time, but there's really no reason to feel guilty at all. Life is very hard sometimes, and surfing around the accretion disc of a black hole without getting pulled in entirely takes every last bit of energy. Very happy and very proud of you to see that you made it, commander! 💙

I don't care about the videos, I mean... I do, but I really just care about how you are doing. Your mental/physical health is the most important thing. So, I hope this means you are doing much better. I wish you the very best. Glad to see you back.

Nice surprise seeing this update in my feed! I hope you're feeling better and I can't wait to check out the next vid. I definitely understand what it's like to feel stuck due to mental health.

I only found your channel a few days ago after having finished Ghost of Tsushima myself. I enjoyed your reactions to it the most out of the creators I had checked out. So I was saddened to see your last video was posted 11 months ago. I’m so happy to see this post come up on my feed.

Hi Ren! Sometimes life gives us lemons and it's on us to make lemonade,sometimes it takes a long time and a lot of effort,sometimes it's a piece of cake. I think what i want to say is, it's okay not be okay,healing takes time, and if we truly love something, we'll eventually come back to it. And don't worry about the rust,just be yourself,we watch your videos because of your personality! I hope you're doing well and welcome back,Commander! ;) (Now I gotta rewatch the last couple of your vids to remind myself where you left off :D )

Let the guilt go. It is ok, mental health first. I've also been having a hard time in that regard, you are not alone.

Hey Ren :) I found your channel a few months ago and been watching your GoT let's play. I really enjoyed your way of analyzing the game and characters and your overall vibe so decided to sub! Then I saw your latest post was a while ago and been hoping you'd return. Looking forward to seeing more of you playing other games now that you're back! I don't think you should feel bad about being away, especially if you've been through stuff. Sending good vibes!

Hot dang she lives! Really glad to see this post pop up honestly. When you went radio silent after the last check in I got a bit worried since we all knew you were going through a lot and you've been open with your mental health struggles, so it's really nice to see something. As for the struggles, never apologize for looking out for yourself...even if that means you gotta shutdown and go "survival mode" for awhile. Easier said than done, I know, I still kick myself sometimes when I do the same (I went dark on my channel for like 4 years and just recently returned) but I've tried to learn to feel less guilty for trying to take care of me, even when I am likely failing in doing so. Doing that has helped me find the joy in previous hobbies, such as content creation or movies...whatever it is, since it takes some level of guilt off my shoulders even through the hard times (which are still currently ongoing for me honestly). Oddly enough allowing myself to be low and struggling, as much as I'd prefer not to, has helped me stay afloat and bounce back even slightly since the guilt of "I have people waiting for me" isn't as heavy. Never totally gone since that's just who I am but it's often better. Anyways, once again glad you're back at least this much. Looking forward to the return of videos whether its tomorrow, next week, next month or six months from now. Take care of yourself (that goes for everyone in these here comments, not just Ren), we'll be here when you're ready.

Hi everyone!!!!!! Long time no talk!!!
First off I want to give a GIANT apology for being absent for a long time: I am so sorry. I know it has been a long time. The channel is still here and I am still here and I have no plans to leave permanently. We have a LOT of series to record anyway!! (Hi ME3 and Andromeda, The Witcher, God of War, Resident Evil, plus about a billion indie games in my backlog, just to call out a few!)
I miss the heck out of y'all and have thought about you every day AND have been trying to make it back to YouTube but life kept getting in the way.
I recorded the end of ME2 last year (!!!!!) and I am going to post that very, very soon. Like VERY soon. I've also just started recording ME3!! So the first two episodes are coming down the pipeline. :) I will be finishing Fran Bow and getting everything posted for that series, as well.
I promised you we would finish Mass Effect and I haven't abandoned the channel. Better late than never, I hope. 💛
I have been trying to record a video for months about what's been going on but it's been a lot. I may record one in the future but I'm not 100% sure what I am ready to share. The TL;DR is my mental health has been really terrible and I've been going through a lot in my life. BUT I am still here and I miss this community we've created a lot (and I've felt very guilty for not being here after promising you videos and not delivering on the timeline I had originally intended). I'm quite nervous to post again because I'm so rusty but also excited. If you're still here reading this, I appreciate you sooooo much for riding the wave of my unintentional extended leave.
I hope you've all been well and know that I am thinking of you and that I quite literally am in the process of uploading videos as I type this. Miss you bunches. Let me know how you've been doing because I would love to hear about it. 💛
Big love and even bigger virtual hugs!!
Ren 💛
