What a full year of progress looks like as a Youtuber
please help me they're forcing me to make videos I don't want to do this anymore someone please help
Follow me on Twitter Coward 👉: Dagger64471102
For a lot of people, becoming a youtuber is a dream job. Getting to play video games for a living? Who wouldn't want that? But very few people ever get to make it a career. Over the past year, I've been lucky enough to reach a position where youtube has become my job, and now that I've been doing it for a year, I figured this would be a great time to recap my first year of progress as a youtuber. In just a full year, My videos have gone from the absolute bottom of the barrel to reaching view counts as high as 400,000 so its easy to say my first year of youtube has been an absolute roller coaster.
I started out making videos on retro games such as crash team racing and punch out however a year ago my editing skills were pathetic and thus the videos suffered many common issues beginner youtubers tend to have.
In this video Dagger outlines both the flaws of his earlier videos and the easiest ways to avoid these problems for yourself, From unbalanced audio levels, to poor mic quality there's a lot to learn from in Dagger's first year of videos.
However even through these issues, Dagger managed to find success early on with his video titled “The world of Awful horror games” which reached over thirty thousand views. And persistent to reach even higher number he continued to make progress with each video improving his skills.
However from here he learned that one big video doesn't guarantee you any more, and Dagger talks in depth about how frustrating TH-cam can be when all of your videos flop, especially after seeing what it's like to succeed.
But after months of struggling Dagger finally made enough progress to try to make a video essay with his largest video to date “ Why gaming doesn't feel the same anymore” his best performing video in his first year of youtube. After failing again and again, finally breaking out with a massive video, Dagger was faced with a massive decision to make. Would he continue with his old style? Or perhaps keep making the video essays which netted him 400,000 views
Instead of choosing between them, Dagger decided to attempt to hybridize the two formats resulting in “Is balance healthy for video games” his only removed video in his first year of youtube. Dagger openly talks about the failures of this video and the problems with trying to combine two completely different styles.
However after repeated failures Dagger finally broke through with yet another huge video “I played the worst Wii games ever made”. This video symbolized a return to form with all the added knowledge from videos prior, all of Daggers progress has lead to this one video. And thankfully for him it resulted in yet another video with above 6 figures.
Then After all that, Dagger gives away his secrets to his video making process, detailing everything he learned in his first year as a youtuber.

I Played The Worst Wii Games Ever Made

    So sad horror games are so commonly just shock horror, not that all games with jumpscares are bad, it’s just so alienating to other horror fans, there’s so much potential in the feeling of being alone, like old school Minecraft single player, there’s potential in mistrust, potential through story, not much are used, especially when the “horror” part of the game isn’t every aspect of it

    So basically Transformers is comprised of a vast set of continuities. Each one representing a different universe, very few things fall into the same continuity, and every continuity has either glaring errors between entries or significant time travel shenanigans, sometimes both. The continuities are as follows: ▪︎ The Generation 1 Continuity, containing the original show, Marvel comics, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and all of the works associated directly with those shows and comics ▪︎ The Robots in Disguise (2001) Continuity, containing the 2001 Robots in Disguise show and the 2003 Universe comics ▪︎ Animated, which features all of the works directly associated with the Animated cartoon ▪︎ Michael Bay films, which contains specifically Transformers (2007), Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction, The Last Knight, and any of their associated works ▪︎ Knightverse, being Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, as well as their associated works ▪︎ Unicron Trilogy, being the shows Armada, Energon, and Cybertron, as well as their associated media ▪︎ Aligned Continuity, containing War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, Prime, Rescue Bots, Robots in Disguise (2015), Rescue Bots Academy, and all of the works associated with those shows and games ▪︎ Cyberverse and its associated works ▪︎ The Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy and its associated works ▪︎ Energon, consisting of only the Skybound comics ▪︎ IDW (2005), a continuity consisting of comics by IDW Publishing ▪︎ IDW (2019), a different continuity by IDW Publishing ▪︎ Earthspark and its associated media ▪︎ Whatever the hell BotBots is. Into even more complexities, Unicron is considered to be a multiversal singularity, meaning he freely traverses the multiverse and does not have multiple versions of himself. Even stranger is Shattered Glass, which is a sort of modifier to any universe instead of a universe of its own. Kind of like an equal opposite. Then there's Axiom Nexus, a city which can be accessed by any universe and through which any universe can be accessed. There's also unspace which is shared among all universes and used for spacebridge travel.

    4 months late but I'm 26 and I would say every single thing I despise about modern gaming had it's inception in the 7th Generation, not really hot take for anyone that was entering their adolescence when the ps3 and 360 hit shelves with their HD capabilities. Graphics became an obssession by game studios, fps shooters where completely inescapable. Every fucking game had an ugly af brown sepia filter to make it look gritty (and optimize bad frame rates). Because developers wanted their games to cross platform we'd have all sortts of stupid situation where games and their dlc gets locked to specific consoles. Yearly game releases for open world games that barely did anything to improve over previous games. The PS3 was expensive and such a pain in the ass for developers to make games on that we didn't basically most of the memorable franchises on that console didn't get released until towards the end of its cycle. Overall if you got to experience the gems of the ps2 and Gamecube the 7th generation really was the worst era of gaming. And every thing we hate about the current game landscape lead back to that generation.
