Sorry the last couple months were very slow on content from me. I've been really struggling with anxiety built around moving to PA. It's been a really weird experience and neither Kim or myself expected it to be so difficult to adjust. It was and IS STILL, a complete culture shock. We are adapting and getting better, and i'm back making content for you guys.

Absolutely in love with this style video ! Felt like talking to my best friend About the months new releases and their thoughts ! Wood never apologize for taking a break or switching stuff up on us ! ❤️ sending hugs to you and kimmm❤️❤️❤️
I'm honestly really not surprised Wood mentioned Spider-Man on steam in a switch themed video (yes yes he covered No man's sky too), but it feels like any chance he gets to talk about Spidey, he takes with both hands, which doesn't surprise me. The game is just 👌
Miles morales coming out too, but what I am really excited for the rumoured ghost of tsushima pc port and the director's cut adds so much. It's insane that game didn't win goty and lost to tlou2.
Wood you need no explanation. Your’s and Kim’s health are much more important than the TH-cam videos. We all love both of you and if that means we miss a week or so if videos, than by all means take that time. I hope the best for both of you, you both deserve the best! Love you guys!
I've just gotta defend this game for the big time Kirby fans... Kirby's Dream Buffet is super addicting if you want to get more skilled/see all the fanservice when you level up. Also it seems to work almost completely fine for me, even online. The Mario Party-like rewards at the end are actually pretty cool and one of my favorite parts because most of them you can control, unlike the non-classic bonus stars in modern Mario Party. First of all, collect other types of fruit on the way, and try to get the most of 1 kind. If you know you can't get to one of the strawberry piles at the end, jump off and hover so you can get the hover award. Things like "most strawberries collected in a minigame" are not so easily exploited but it's still skill for the most part. "Most power-ups used" isn't really excusable because you get more powerups if you're in last place but hey, most of it's better than how Mario Party does it imo. Maybe I'm just biased but for 15 dollars the amount of fun and extra fanservice/remixes/unlockables is an amazing deal. There are SO many references 0.1% of the players will understand and that's what I love about Hal. They know how to do fanservice RIGHT and make long time fans feel rewarded but it doesn't lessen the experience for new players.
Kirby's Dream Buffet is amazing. I have had issues online too, so I spend most of my time playing offline. I do wish it had four player split screen, but it's still a lot of fun, even in single player.
@@DizzyDiddy It's true that missing 4 player split screen is super annoying, and the biggest flaw imo. My only guess for this is they wanted your friends to download the game for themselves and play locally.
I like the idea of these "What Wood's Playing"-style videos. I've always like the idea of this just being an all-around gaming channel, rather than just a Switch one. I don't think there's anything wrong with it being Switch-centric, but I've always like hearing Wood talk about all the systems. And more recently, it seems like we're getting to hear about it more. Whether it's from the Nontendo Podcast or on here with videos like the AYA NEO AIR one-and obviously this one-I feel that we've been getting it.
I’m so glad you are feeling better. Many people have experienced this, including me. The switch definitely helped me. Thank you for still making incredible content, even on your lowest.
one thing I'd like to bring attention to with cult of the lamb is its performance. I'm unsure if there's been any patches since launch (last i played was a week ago and there weren't any then), but if youre a switch player id highly recommend waiting for the game to be patched. while the game is very fun and playable (for the most part), there are a LOT of bugs that will impede on the gameplay. some are minor visual ones which are funny, others are more egregious and can make you reset the game losing a bit of progress (typically it's when you're giving sermons/doing rituals and the animations will just freeze). performance itself is also pretty leggy and stutter once you get a good number of followers/stuff built in your town. it's very fun and cute and i don't regret my purchase personally, but I'd still say don't buy it until there are some big patches to make it smoother... on switch, idk about the other consoles and PC.
As someone who stayed in another country for a month and also felt ‘off’ the entire time just because it was a lot to get used to, I know this feel. Taking time for yourself is always a good thing, but glad you’re slowly getting back in action. Always like stumbling onto these vids.
You're really inspiring! I've been struggling with anxiety because of work and it's been hard so I understand how anxiety is such a pain. Thank you for making awesome content that helps me with my anxiety.
My husband and I are also going through alot of changes in our lives and it can be tough to adjust. We all need a minute to acclimate, settle in, feel secure and establish something familiar out of the chaos. Even when the change is positive it can still be overwhelming. Things do get better and I'm glad you are getting back into making videos. Wish you both the best.
Glad you and Kim are doing better. I totally understand the anxiety thing. My husbands been away for work for 2 months out of state, while school has started for my kids, and i've starting a new job. Juggling everything can get crazy. Hang in there. You have a lot of support here.
My favorite TH-camr across all genre’s. Take the time you need off every time Woody. Not even that huge of a gamer but your videos always put me in a great mood.
Hey wood, thanks for being vulnerable in front of us. I suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD, and it's nice to know that even people I look up to like you can have a tough time every now and then. I hope things will be ok for you soon brother.
I loved no man's sky from day 1, I was there for it. And with all the additions, and all the work they put into it. It's been incredible to see the journey it's taken and how it's gotten so much better.
Even Wood has spoken about how bad No Man's Sky was until it got the updates.....I don't know the type of person you would have to be to love the game before the update, but it just wasn't good at first, no matter what anybody says.
@@JohnDoe-vx9bo it's because the game delivered on the main aspect, to go from one planet to another. No other game in my mind had done that or done it since. It shut up a lot of haters but then they found other things to criticise. The game to begin with was ok as an indie game but has since turned in to a fully fledged AAA rpg with lots to do.
@@avocatobobble Mass effect, heck evern Freelancer way back had done that... it deserved all the criticism it got on release, especially with the unfullfilled promises, it's good that they have stuck with the game and made it great
08:40 I don´t have the framerate issues anymore, maybe it was because of release? I really enjoying Kirby and for the price, it´s all worth it in my opinion. I also liked that they implemented a mini rank system. Also, no annoying Battle Passes anymore, or a pay to win system. You get new levels/maps, new minigames, cosmetics, new music, etc by just playing and leveling up. The game gets more fun in my opinion later on. So I don´t think 20 min´s is enough to review it? Maybe an hour better hehe. I legit think this game is more fun than Fall Guys!
God I can’t wait for No Man’s Sky to come out on Switch! I’ve already bought the game 6 separate times for myself on different platforms plus family members… and honestly I can’t wait to buy it again two more times on Switch for my mom and I. Hello Games has given me over 1000 hours of enjoyment by releasing 20 major updates for one sticker price (plus an amazing community!). No expansions, no micro transactions. I have no hesitation whatsoever when it’s comes to supporting Hello Games.
I have never tried before and I want to get on switch. Honestly it ticks a lot of boxes of my favorite things in games. Hopefully it runs good 🤞🤞 I’m scared for the performance.
I’m very interested to try the switch port of No Man’s Sky for switch so I’m hoping for the best as far as what the reviews say. Could be a miracle port situation or completely unplayable so my fingers are crossed.
I will probably get that game next month when it drops. A help tutorial came up in my YT feed and it looked like a really original game. Have you played it at all? If so how do you like it?
@@lenderzconstable never played it myself. When the game originally released I backed off because of the initial reviews regarding the poor state of the game. I have watched/read about how they’ve continued to improve the gameplay over the years in that’s it’s completely changed/fixed from release. I’ve considered getting it for PlayStation but when the Switch port was announced I figured I could wait a little longer and see how that pans out before pulling the trigger.
No Man's Sky deserves all the praise. Rather than running away from a terrible launch, they made massive free updates and turned the game into something genuinely special. It's a treat to just wander and vibe in it. I'm worried about the Switch port but I'm sure it'll still be a lot of fun even if it's limited. If it's a great port, I'd certainly be tempted to double dip on it!
I moved to NYC from Texas and it was a huge culture shock, it took me almost 2 years to feel comfortable. It’s okay to take things slow and nest in your home before adjusting to the rest of your environment. I wish you both a smoother transition!
I've been watching for several years now on and off. I love the content and your reviews have given me a better experience with my Nintendo switch. This more casual review content is so entertaining. I enjoy how honest it is, and It's nice to hear it's something you actually care about. So in my eyes it's a win win. You get to slow down and take care of your mental health and we get to have good content!
Moving, no matter how potentially positive for your life and future health, is such a stressful experience and doesn’t end when you’re in the house, adjusting to a new environment is a much bigger stressor than most people allow themselves to acknowledge, I’m so happy that you and Kim realized this and have worked to handle it! No worries about taking extra time to collect yourself! P.S. have a very belated welcome to PA, I laughed out loud literally when I realized one of my favorite TH-camrs lives within 30 minutes of me now, that was such a whiplash, wait what? O.o??? Moment but I also felt odd about mentioning it, which is why this is such a belated welcome xD
You don’t need to worry about halting uploads, your a great person, and a great content creator. I hope this doesn’t sound like a “ oh, i understand you. Don’t feel bad!” But i do also struggle with anxiety and stress, so don’t fell bad if you have slow upload schedule.
As someone who struggles with mental illnesses that keep me at home due to my clinical depression and various anxieties, thank you dearly for making videos and being so transparent and advocating for mental health. You're the reason I bought a switch, breath of the wild, various pokemon games, and too many others to count. You're the best Wood Hawker!
Regarding Kirby it runs at about 30 fps with some drops to 28, when your are playing vs cpu. It seems to be a bit more laggy when playing it on the big screen and nearly uncontrollable when using a PS4 controller via the 8bitdo adapter. However, when you start playing online the usual Nintendo mess starts and I had sessions which dropped to 2 fps and some even halted for a few seconds and then continued just fine. You can adopt to the annoying Mario Party elements: Collect berries and items at the beginning. In most sessions all players will be stuck at two biscuit walls, so just collect stuff and wait for them to destroy these walls or use one of the two items which let you glide below the biscuit walls and then RUN to the finish line as fast as you can. I like this game better than Fall Guys because it's less frustrating and the theme provides a nice, cozy atmosphere. But with the broken multiplayer mode (or maybe it's not broken, it's just what Nintendo wants to deliver) replay-ability seems to be non existent after you collected every minigame.
@@jackygemme863 Because I hate Joycons and the xbox layout. Joycons just hurt my hands. I tried many alternatives including the highly praised 8bitdo controllers, but all sucked (anatomically or built quality). So I just tried the beloved PS4 controller and it works perfectly in every game. With the exception of Dream Buffet, where the stick movement is too intense compared to the Joycons interpretation.
@@Hakeraiden Fall Guys was 20 Euros, not free (then). And both games are very different. I like Kirby more, obviously not the MP part. I hope that Nintendo fixes this, but my hopes are not high. Nintendo seems to be just fine with us paying for their broken service, just as they were fine with the ridiculously bad screen of the Switch, that stand (both finally fixed with the OLED version) or the inferiour Joycons, for which we have to buy plastic attachments, so that our hands don't hurt…
@@taptoplayde Why don’t you just get the Switch Pro Controller (official, of course)? It’s honestly amazing and I love it. Second favorite controller only to the GameCube’s controller
Great video Wood! I'm sorry to hear that you and Kim have been going through some rough times with mental health, but I'm really glad you are so open and honest about it (when you feel up to discussing it). It is important for people to be aware of their own mental health and the mental health of others so that we can all be kinder to people. Much love from New Zealand
Hey man take all the time you need..I’ve had to take huge breaks for not only mental health but school as well..So I understand..Content makers need to try to stick together through tough times..😌🙂
Wood, I just got my first switch! You and your videos were a big reason on why I did! Thank you so much for all the information and the deep database of content that I was able to go through to get the best option for me! Keep going, you are the best! Glad to hear you’re feeling better, and I hope that continues!
Love your content, you guys take it easy and do things at your own pace because what means more to us your followers is you guys looking after yourselves and finding your happy space 😊
I’m glad you have discovered no man’s sky. Such a therapeutic experience Also, no need to ever apologize for taking a break. You are a human that basically runs your own business for people. You help us all with great content and we will do what we have to to help you!
Tbh I actually wasn’t interested in Cursed to Golf before - NOW I am. Hope the Twitch break has been helpful for your anxiety and things are settling for you. Never apologise for taking down time - no line of work is sustainable without that and this is your job. Take care 💜
Please don't feel the need to apologise man, you're doing awesome, keeping the podcast going and building a new life in a new place. Sometimes I wish I could just sit in front of you and tell you how awesome you're doing (because I don't think how sincerely it's meant comes across in comments). ❤️
Okay I just wanted to say; take your time. Life is more important than YT. I also wanted to say the Nontendo Podcast is so enjoyable. You long haired guys are a great duo. So funny. It has brought me back to your solo content as well. So thanks!
I'm so glad you guys are feeling better, even if it's just the start! I'm sorry you're having a hard time adjusting, but it makes sense and is normal, so please don't take it badly or anything! I think you're doing great, and I'll wait forever for new content, so please don't rush on our account! Take all the time you need to settle in! You deserve it, and your health comes first! I love your vids, but I care about you guys more!
I feel you bro! I have the worst anxiety. But videogames have gotten me through really dark times in my life. I hope you get better! (Also therapy helps too!) Been wondering what to play on my switch next. I'll have to put these games on my radar!
For anyone interested in cult of the lamb: it's a great game! Do NOT get the switch port. It has terrible input lag that makes the game feel awful. Please play the game on any other platform
I’m so glad I’m not sensitive to stuff like that. Back in the NES days when a game would have flicker it was just understood that’s just how it is at some parts. We dealt with it. I hear a lot about how frame rates and other details make games unplayable to the young generation and I just shake my head.
@@lenderzconstable I don’t think that’s the point tho. I also come from older gaming. The gaming industry is huge and with the level of quality that we expect now because it is so fleshed out as a whole, they should fix the errors with the game before release. Especially since it is now so much easier to patch things just with a simple update. It wasn’t so easy with cartridges. But with digital content it absolutely is.
I bought cursed to golf solely because of your podcast and how excited Liam was about the release process. The passion he has with the game was worth the purchase. Thank you wood for all the reviews and podcasts. Oh and a release schedule would be nice. Any day except Tuesday will work
I've tried playing Cult of the Lamb on Switch and sadly, I think it still needs a few updates. The game slows down quite a bit when there's too much on screen. It's too bad a lot of the coverage seems to be involving the Steam or PS5 versions, the latter of which has its own issues as well. Nevertheless, great video Wood! Good to have you back!
Haven’t noticed the lack of content because of the podcast! The podcast is so good, honestly it’s all I want most of the time. Had to stop supporting on Patreon because of school payments, but when my financial situation stabilizes, I’ll be supporting you again.
feel ya on the anxiety bruh been dealing with it strongly for 2 weeks. playing Pokémon on my switch has actually been helping me deal with it. hope your better
"I didn't have a Segway, I didn't plan a better Segway..." Ironic considering he said he was anxious about being extremely meticulous about writings scripts
I agree about Kirby; and sure it looks fun with friends. For how it looks graphically, all the stuff you unlock and how it runs, it's a steal at $15......but at the end of the day...this game should've been free
Nah, if it was free then there would've been way too many microtransactions. The $15 price tag eliminates all potential paywalls the game would've clearly had.
Also. Downtown Memphis is haunted. There are haunted tours & I found a book in Walgreens recently about the haunted here. So if you're into ghost stuff...
Glad you took time for you. Your content will be better because you took the time to take care of you. Missed you showing up in my feed! This was a fun video to watch, as always :)
Awww yay I missed these videos!!! 🥰👏👏 thank you!! Also please take care of yourself! Anyone worth creating videos for will support you needing to take time! 🥰🥰
Never apologize for your mental health and taking care of yourself. Yes it sucks not seeing you upload stuff but I rather rewatch the oldies than your mental health spiraling so it’s all good sending you guys good vibes
Hey Wood I just wanna say that Your.. freestyle? Kind of videos,Yes the non scripted ones are my absolute favorite ane what got me into your content because the legitimate excitement and passion always just oozes right through the video,What I'm trying to say...Keep it up buddy,I hope you and Kim feel better and welcomed in the new place
Hey wood, you inspired me to start my channel but lately I been struggling to Stop smoking the devils lettuce so I can focus on making content. Seeing you talk about your mental health and struggles made me not feel so dumb typing/saying that out loud, any advice or tips? I’d deeply appreciate it
There’s just too many bugs in cult of the lamb though. I absolutely love the game but I’ve been softlocked three times and I encounter bugs extremely regularly.
I have it on switch too and I'm disappointed because I can't even finish the game it's so bad. They decided to have a required number of followers to face the final boss and the switch can barely even handle half of that so I guess people on switch just don't get to finish the game lol
I will say, as a native of Memphis, TN, I wasn't expecting to see the Bass Pro Pyramid featured in one of your videos 😂 That thing is an eyesore to me now, yet I have vague memories of attending Grizzlies games there when it was operational in its former glory.
When life gives you lemons you throw them right back there is no need for apologising to us you have problems in youre life we all do we are all people
Dude you are not the only one... My family and I just moved and I'm feeling homesick badly...so I understand how your feeling well. If I could take the house we have and move it back home I would be happy... Lol
I think your cult of the lamb intro was Soo much more tame than the devil may cry 5 video you done all those years ago that TH-cam struck down the original for that was amazing 🤣
This part: 10:18, also me in Mario kart dealing with annoying items before crossing the finish line. They be stealing your win in hilarious ways man... *pain😂😂😂*
I’m gonna get a switch for my birthday (oct 14th) and I have been watching videos for some idea of what games I should buy, thank you for this video man, I always love your videos
I honestly think Cult of The Lamb should be removed. It’s gonna make kids think that satanic/ demonic things and cults are okay. It’s desensitising to dark stuff. Not good.
No Man's Sky is my favourite game of all time - I was watching your coverage of the direct where it was announced it was coming to switch and it absolutely made my night. Can't wait to see how it goes. How does it feel on Steam Deck?
NMS is excellent, replaying now and I love it. Sadly it keeps lagging out and I'm playing on console. Part of me feels like the switch may not be able to handle it.
I am so sorry you're having a hard time!.But I am so glad you can find comfort in things you enjoy=3Hope it gets better=) Thank you for making awesome content!
I actually played no man's sky for the first time a few months ago and loved it!!!! hearing it is gonna port to switch sounds awesome, really wonder how it'll turn out :)
I'm about to say some very mean things about you now. How dare you be mean to the best game ever made. Kirby's dream buffet is literally perfect. In all seriousness, as a kirby and fall guys fan (and apologist) i think its great, but i can see why you may think otherwise, even if you're wrong

I’ve already bought the game 6 separate times for myself on different platforms plus family members… and honestly I can’t wait to buy it again two more times on Switch for my mom and I. Hello Games has given me over 1000 hours of enjoyment by releasing 20 major updates for one sticker price (plus an amazing community!). No expansions, no micro transactions. I have no hesitation whatsoever when it’s comes to supporting Hello Games.
What is Hello Games? Also how would you describe No Man’s Sky?
I have never tried before and I want to get on switch. Honestly it ticks a lot of boxes of my favorite things in games. Hopefully it runs good 🤞🤞 I’m scared for the performance.
I’m very interested to try the switch port of No Man’s Sky for switch so I’m hoping for the best as far as what the reviews say. Could be a miracle port situation or completely unplayable so my fingers are crossed.
I will probably get that game next month when it drops. A help tutorial came up in my YT feed and it looked like a really original game. Have you played it at all? If so how do you like it?
I feel like most Switch games released today won’t have unplayable issues. The devs are more familiar with what the system can handle.
@@lenderzconstable never played it myself. When the game originally released I backed off because of the initial reviews regarding the poor state of the game. I have watched/read about how they’ve continued to improve the gameplay over the years in that’s it’s completely changed/fixed from release. I’ve considered getting it for PlayStation but when the Switch port was announced I figured I could wait a little longer and see how that pans out before pulling the trigger.
@@lenderzconstable plenty of games still run like crap on SWITCH
No Man's Sky deserves all the praise. Rather than running away from a terrible launch, they made massive free updates and turned the game into something genuinely special. It's a treat to just wander and vibe in it. I'm worried about the Switch port but I'm sure it'll still be a lot of fun even if it's limited. If it's a great port, I'd certainly be tempted to double dip on it!
I moved to NYC from Texas and it was a huge culture shock, it took me almost 2 years to feel comfortable. It’s okay to take things slow and nest in your home before adjusting to the rest of your environment. I wish you both a smoother transition!
I've been watching for several years now on and off. I love the content and your reviews have given me a better experience with my Nintendo switch.
This more casual review content is so entertaining. I enjoy how honest it is, and It's nice to hear it's something you actually care about. So in my eyes it's a win win. You get to slow down and take care of your mental health and we get to have good content!
Moving, no matter how potentially positive for your life and future health, is such a stressful experience and doesn’t end when you’re in the house, adjusting to a new environment is a much bigger stressor than most people allow themselves to acknowledge, I’m so happy that you and Kim realized this and have worked to handle it! No worries about taking extra time to collect yourself!
P.S. have a very belated welcome to PA, I laughed out loud literally when I realized one of my favorite TH-camrs lives within 30 minutes of me now, that was such a whiplash, wait what? O.o??? Moment but I also felt odd about mentioning it, which is why this is such a belated welcome xD
You don’t need to worry about halting uploads, your a great person, and a great content creator. I hope this doesn’t sound like a “ oh, i understand you. Don’t feel bad!” But i do also struggle with anxiety and stress, so don’t fell bad if you have slow upload schedule.
Even if not fully free, Kirby should’ve been a part of the Switch Expansion Pack and given out to the subscribers like Tetris 99
just because u have it doesn't mean it has to be on it
thays like saying just cause YOU bought among us you should get another game for free
@guy who says stuff ok
As someone who struggles with mental illnesses that keep me at home due to my clinical depression and various anxieties, thank you dearly for making videos and being so transparent and advocating for mental health. You're the reason I bought a switch, breath of the wild, various pokemon games, and too many others to count. You're the best Wood Hawker!
Hope you get better
Always look forward to your videos Wood. I'm sorry you're having a hard time but glad you can find some comfort in the things you love and enjoy!
Regarding Kirby it runs at about 30 fps with some drops to 28, when your are playing vs cpu. It seems to be a bit more laggy when playing it on the big screen and nearly uncontrollable when using a PS4 controller via the 8bitdo adapter. However, when you start playing online the usual Nintendo mess starts and I had sessions which dropped to 2 fps and some even halted for a few seconds and then continued just fine.
You can adopt to the annoying Mario Party elements: Collect berries and items at the beginning. In most sessions all players will be stuck at two biscuit walls, so just collect stuff and wait for them to destroy these walls or use one of the two items which let you glide below the biscuit walls and then RUN to the finish line as fast as you can.
I like this game better than Fall Guys because it's less frustrating and the theme provides a nice, cozy atmosphere. But with the broken multiplayer mode (or maybe it's not broken, it's just what Nintendo wants to deliver) replay-ability seems to be non existent after you collected every minigame.
Why are you playing kirbys dream buffet with a ps4 controller
Wait a game with less features and has broken multi-player like every nintendo game, is better than fall guys which is free. Ok...
@@jackygemme863 Because I hate Joycons and the xbox layout. Joycons just hurt my hands. I tried many alternatives including the highly praised 8bitdo controllers, but all sucked (anatomically or built quality). So I just tried the beloved PS4 controller and it works perfectly in every game. With the exception of Dream Buffet, where the stick movement is too intense compared to the Joycons interpretation.
@@Hakeraiden Fall Guys was 20 Euros, not free (then). And both games are very different. I like Kirby more, obviously not the MP part. I hope that Nintendo fixes this, but my hopes are not high. Nintendo seems to be just fine with us paying for their broken service, just as they were fine with the ridiculously bad screen of the Switch, that stand (both finally fixed with the OLED version) or the inferiour Joycons, for which we have to buy plastic attachments, so that our hands don't hurt…
@@taptoplayde Why don’t you just get the Switch Pro Controller (official, of course)? It’s honestly amazing and I love it. Second favorite controller only to the GameCube’s controller
Great video Wood! I'm sorry to hear that you and Kim have been going through some rough times with mental health, but I'm really glad you are so open and honest about it (when you feel up to discussing it). It is important for people to be aware of their own mental health and the mental health of others so that we can all be kinder to people. Much love from New Zealand
Hey man take all the time you need..I’ve had to take huge breaks for not only mental health but school as well..So I understand..Content makers need to try to stick together through tough times..😌🙂
Wood, I just got my first switch! You and your videos were a big reason on why I did! Thank you so much for all the information and the deep database of content that I was able to go through to get the best option for me!
Keep going, you are the best! Glad to hear you’re feeling better, and I hope that continues!
Love your content, you guys take it easy and do things at your own pace because what means more to us your followers is you guys looking after yourselves and finding your happy space 😊
I’m glad you have discovered no man’s sky. Such a therapeutic experience
Also, no need to ever apologize for taking a break. You are a human that basically runs your own business for people. You help us all with great content and we will do what we have to to help you!
hope you be better
we are always here
Sorry to hear you two haven’t been feeling the best. Sending you good vibes
Tbh I actually wasn’t interested in Cursed to Golf before - NOW I am. Hope the Twitch break has been helpful for your anxiety and things are settling for you. Never apologise for taking down time - no line of work is sustainable without that and this is your job. Take care 💜
Please don't feel the need to apologise man, you're doing awesome, keeping the podcast going and building a new life in a new place. Sometimes I wish I could just sit in front of you and tell you how awesome you're doing (because I don't think how sincerely it's meant comes across in comments). ❤️
im glad you took breaks and were slow, it sucks when you work something you love, and then hate it because you forced yourself, thanks for the vid
I’m so thankful for TH-camrs that speak openly about anxiety
Okay I just wanted to say; take your time. Life is more important than YT. I also wanted to say the Nontendo Podcast is so enjoyable. You long haired guys are a great duo. So funny. It has brought me back to your solo content as well.
So thanks!
I'm so glad you guys are feeling better, even if it's just the start! I'm sorry you're having a hard time adjusting, but it makes sense and is normal, so please don't take it badly or anything! I think you're doing great, and I'll wait forever for new content, so please don't rush on our account! Take all the time you need to settle in! You deserve it, and your health comes first! I love your vids, but I care about you guys more!
Cult of the lamb looks great! I would've never even glanced at it if it wasn't for you wood! ❤️
I’m literally playing NMS as I watch your video. Also picked it up to cope with anxiety. Get out of my head! 😆
I feel you bro! I have the worst anxiety. But videogames have gotten me through really dark times in my life. I hope you get better! (Also therapy helps too!) Been wondering what to play on my switch next. I'll have to put these games on my radar!
For anyone interested in cult of the lamb: it's a great game! Do NOT get the switch port. It has terrible input lag that makes the game feel awful. Please play the game on any other platform
I’m so glad I’m not sensitive to stuff like that. Back in the NES days when a game would have flicker it was just understood that’s just how it is at some parts. We dealt with it. I hear a lot about how frame rates and other details make games unplayable to the young generation and I just shake my head.
I only buy exclusives on my switch, everything else is PS5.
@@lenderzconstable I don’t think that’s the point tho. I also come from older gaming. The gaming industry is huge and with the level of quality that we expect now because it is so fleshed out as a whole, they should fix the errors with the game before release. Especially since it is now so much easier to patch things just with a simple update. It wasn’t so easy with cartridges. But with digital content it absolutely is.
I bought cursed to golf solely because of your podcast and how excited Liam was about the release process. The passion he has with the game was worth the purchase. Thank you wood for all the reviews and podcasts. Oh and a release schedule would be nice. Any day except Tuesday will work
i’ve been looking for curse golf but i can’t seem to find it, where did you get it?
@@Dmoney-wx3kf Nintendo switch eshop
@@muskrat907 thank you
I've tried playing Cult of the Lamb on Switch and sadly, I think it still needs a few updates. The game slows down quite a bit when there's too much on screen. It's too bad a lot of the coverage seems to be involving the Steam or PS5 versions, the latter of which has its own issues as well. Nevertheless, great video Wood! Good to have you back!
Haven’t noticed the lack of content because of the podcast! The podcast is so good, honestly it’s all I want most of the time. Had to stop supporting on Patreon because of school payments, but when my financial situation stabilizes, I’ll be supporting you again.
feel ya on the anxiety bruh been dealing with it strongly for 2 weeks. playing Pokémon on my switch has actually been helping me deal with it. hope your better
Feeling the anxiety more than usual here, too. You've got this.
Be careful of this scammer down here, have been scammed unfortunately
"I didn't have a Segway, I didn't plan a better Segway..."
Ironic considering he said he was anxious about being extremely meticulous about writings scripts
I agree about Kirby; and sure it looks fun with friends. For how it looks graphically, all the stuff you unlock and how it runs, it's a steal at $15......but at the end of the day...this game should've been free
Nah, if it was free then there would've been way too many microtransactions. The $15 price tag eliminates all potential paywalls the game would've clearly had.
Fact: That Pyramid used to be a concert/stage show type place.
Also. Downtown Memphis is haunted. There are haunted tours & I found a book in Walgreens recently about the haunted here. So if you're into ghost stuff...
Glad you took time for you. Your content will be better because you took the time to take care of you. Missed you showing up in my feed! This was a fun video to watch, as always :)
Wood don’t worry take all the time in the world. No pressure please take your time to adjust!
Love you Wood, we support you always brother, through the ups and downs. Thanks for this new vid ❤️
Awww yay I missed these videos!!! 🥰👏👏 thank you!!
Also please take care of yourself! Anyone worth creating videos for will support you needing to take time! 🥰🥰
Never apologize for your mental health and taking care of yourself. Yes it sucks not seeing you upload stuff but I rather rewatch the oldies than your mental health spiraling so it’s all good sending you guys good vibes
"Where are you from? Mississippi?"
Yes... and I've never felt more randomly called out in my life 🙃
I can't wait for a Nintendo version of Stray!! Really hope that happens soon!
Wood: stop the video right now!
Me: stops the video
...
*falls a sleep
Don’t stop TH-cam I want to see the family grow
Hey Wood I just wanna say that Your.. freestyle? Kind of videos,Yes the non scripted ones are my absolute favorite ane what got me into your content because the legitimate excitement and passion always just oozes right through the video,What I'm trying to say...Keep it up buddy,I hope you and Kim feel better and welcomed in the new place
No need to apologize your health is more important glad to see you back your my favourite switch content creator keep up the good work 😎
Hey wood, you inspired me to start my channel but lately I been struggling to Stop smoking the devils lettuce so I can focus on making content. Seeing you talk about your mental health and struggles made me not feel so dumb typing/saying that out loud, any advice or tips? I’d deeply appreciate it
Super glad you had a mental health break. We don’t want you to break as you help our mental health ❤️
There’s just too many bugs in cult of the lamb though. I absolutely love the game but I’ve been softlocked three times and I encounter bugs extremely regularly.
I have it on switch too and I'm disappointed because I can't even finish the game it's so bad. They decided to have a required number of followers to face the final boss and the switch can barely even handle half of that so I guess people on switch just don't get to finish the game lol
I will say, as a native of Memphis, TN, I wasn't expecting to see the Bass Pro Pyramid featured in one of your videos 😂 That thing is an eyesore to me now, yet I have vague memories of attending Grizzlies games there when it was operational in its former glory.
Glad you guys are doing better. And super glad you got into No Man’s Sky
When life gives you lemons you throw them right back there is no need for apologising to us you have problems in youre life we all do we are all people
The cult of the lambs gives me a cozy grove vibe
That “pyramid bass pro shop” is in Memphis. It’s actually pretty cool on the inside
Dude you are not the only one... My family and I just moved and I'm feeling homesick badly...so I understand how your feeling well.
If I could take the house we have and move it back home I would be happy... Lol
I think your cult of the lamb intro was Soo much more tame than the devil may cry 5 video you done all those years ago that TH-cam struck down the original for that was amazing 🤣
Happy that you took a break and also happy you’re back!
No man's sky is a underdog success story in the making. And I love it, going to preorder it later on for the Switch.
This part: 10:18, also me in Mario kart dealing with annoying items before crossing the finish line. They be stealing your win in hilarious ways man... *pain😂😂😂*
Good stress is still stress! Take it easy and wait for the North East autumn to bring your spirits back up!
I’m gonna get a switch for my birthday (oct 14th) and I have been watching videos for some idea of what games I should buy, thank you for this video man, I always love your videos
I honestly think Cult of The Lamb should be removed. It’s gonna make kids think that satanic/ demonic things and cults are okay. It’s desensitising to dark stuff. Not good.
Totally agree. Y'all, we gotta be more mindful about what we feed our minds. What we watch, hear and read matters so much. 😬
No Man's Sky is my favourite game of all time - I was watching your coverage of the direct where it was announced it was coming to switch and it absolutely made my night. Can't wait to see how it goes. How does it feel on Steam Deck?
How would you describe No Man’s Sky?
Great video 👌 Love your little jokes when you talk 😋
You should try a vr video see how it dose I love vr and I would love to see a vr video from you
NMS is excellent, replaying now and I love it. Sadly it keeps lagging out and I'm playing on console. Part of me feels like the switch may not be able to handle it.
Damnnnn that focusing on the beginning was so smooth
This video fet more like when I first started watching you years ago. Had a big smile on my face the whole time. Love it!
you should try Elite Dangerous in VR. One of the best VR experience's especially playing with HOTAS
You're in PA now? To to Colossalcon East next week. It's a gaming/anime convention at a water park. Biggest stress reliever ever
I am so sorry you're having a hard time!.But I am so glad you can find comfort in things you enjoy=3Hope it gets better=) Thank you for making awesome content!
That bass pro shop is the same place where Mike Tyson bit off Evander Holyfield’s ear
I actually played no man's sky for the first time a few months ago and loved it!!!! hearing it is gonna port to switch sounds awesome, really wonder how it'll turn out :)
Love your channel !
You Always bringing good vibes and make my day better, keep it up :)
Bought a Switch today this is perfect thanks pal
I'm about to say some very mean things about you now. How dare you be mean to the best game ever made. Kirby's dream buffet is literally perfect. In all seriousness, as a kirby and fall guys fan (and apologist) i think its great, but i can see why you may think otherwise, even if you're wrong
So basically this video should be called „For once I’m not a Nintendo fanboy. Now I recommend friends games”
