This "just chatting" style of Let's Play, especially in Survival instead of Hardcore, has quickly become one of my favorite video formats to come back to. Minecraft's exploration, the mods used, and even the IRL-focused tangents you go on all work together very well, not to mention the laid back approach to progression. I hardly ever comment on videos, but I feel this like needed to be said. Thanks for doing what you do.
Agreed 100%, I love this style and I notice with a lot of people creating the minecraft hardcore videos seem to 'lose' that social aspect of the video, I think it's important to have it
right! i watch a lot of longform mincraft challenge videos as background noise and i genuinely thought this guy was uploading edited vods just because of the amount of talking he did! i personally prefer this type of content more and im glad to see some creators holding onto social commentating
This is how minecraft let's plays started. Gronkh, our biggest german Let's Player back then, started the very first MC-Let's Play on TH-cam. He said people would say that you can't make a LP of this game because it would be too hard to fill all the silence. Turns out he LOVED to just ramble without end and it was so entertaining to listen to him that he made it work :)
One of the greatest feelings of watching the same youtuber for 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, etc. is that you get to see them grow along with their content. I have been watching your videos from when you were around 90-100k subscribers. To see you now reaching 250k+ and now having all your videos average over 100k views and being over an hour long is absolutely bewildering. I wish you success in every endeavor you pursue and I cannot wait to watch this new video of yours on the drive home from work. Your videos truly bring me a sense of peace, serenity, and enjoyment that no other youtuber to this date has been able to replicate. I thank you for everything you do and I hope you continue to grow and provide even more content for us to watch. Love you man, best of luck!
Thank you very much! And I'm glad to see your name continue to pop up, I think you actually might have the most hearts I've given out, like 34 comments haha. It tells you your top commenters in the TH-cam Studio app
@@flowstatevideo you’re too kind haha, yes sir. We are roughly the same age and I resonate with a lot of what you discuss about life, success, passion, health, etc. you’re the epitome of a friend I would love to know and have in real life lol. Happy to be here supporting your journey man. Hope we can talk together sometime like back when you did the 1 on 1 calls I never got the chance to sign up for.
Having respawns makes your deaths so much more funny, because if you get one tapped by a stray you have the option to laugh it off instead of getting mad. Man, that skybox is amazing at nighttime😍.
EnvironmentZ has a broken config out of box. I found this out when I added it to your pack a few days ago. The thermostat shows the temperature of the given area you are in, and the other hud aspect you hid shows YOUR temp, which is why you kept dying when no longer cold. I changed the config to have it in long term where it only does damage after 15 minutes in a very cold or hot biome and it was a nice addition
I like the switch to normal survival. Just because everyone else is doing hardcore doesn’t you gotta follow all the time. You can play a little less careful and be a little more reckless, which is another fun way to play. Awesome video by the way!
I have been suffering from depression for the last couple of months. I don't go anywhere, I feel nothing and I feel anxious all the time. But today I washed my hair, made hot tea and turned on your video. Your calm comfortable content that helps to turn off thoughts from the outside world are really nice. Thank you for your videos ♥️
@@Tulpanelisten man it’s not worth it. I tried to commit this past summer. Trust me if it gets bad and you can help yourself ask for help. I destroyed liver and I will end up needing a transplant one of these years. So please if it gets bad ask for help.
I love the cold cozy series, plus it's so nice that you have time for these longer videos now flow. I did want to see you make it to 117 days last video, and it's great that you caught that and actually switched back to survival
2:02:20 the block you were standing on was also powdered snow, you just didn't know it because you were wearing leather boots which let you walk on powdered snow without sinking into it :)
You might also want to try the mod "Homeostatic" for a Temperature Mod next time. It does add the need to drink, but as long as you have access to sand you can make water bottles and purify water on campfires (or in furnaces / etc). Might be a bit hard in the cold, but as long as you get a campfire you should be sorta fine (by default you also see your temperature by a gui element, but I think that can be turned off). Compared to other Temperature Mods Homeostatic feels actually fine - not really taking center stage unless you are in extreme environments (Desert / Icy Biomes) - though there is no difference for being "inside", only heat sources actually count (i.e. like a campfire for example), and frankly I don't think any mod does that yet. Homeostatic does make torches (placed, at least) give of some heat, but its very little - too little to survive in colder biomes. That said LevelZ might make this infeasible if you cannot build an early campfire or smelth glass bottles early (since you need a source of water)
I'm using the mod ColdSweat which has a perfect managment of temperature, hot inside if heated, provides heaters and coolers, things to carry in the hotbar to stay cold or warm, lining for the armor using a loom etc...
Havent played minecraft in a while but an old mod called tough as nail also adds water system and temprature system thats almost realistic like in real life, you dont get immediate hypothermia damage, once youre cold, you would only get slowness and then after a while you will get a hypothermia effect which slowly kills and damage you over time
I got here randomly but Im so happy I did! This long form of videos without crazy screaming and over the top stuff is so precious nowadays, by the comments Ive read I realized how we all feel the same. Im glad you have a positive comunity and are getting recognition! Your videos really help us unwind, in my case I have severe anxiety, like vomiting, passing out anxiety.... this type of videos helps me relax a lot while still being captivated by the story, thank you for what you do!
Man, Flow I waited all week for you to upload another vid and you definitely didn't disappoint! I love your vids and talks. It's nice to see a long vid in survival. I'm looking forward to more of your vids and watching your journey develop as a youtuber.
just found your channel only a couple days ago and im already obsessed. i appreciate the longer vids, i can pause and start watching again whenever and i've found myself watching them before bed bc they're so relaxing and laid back. as someone with bad anxiety it def helps me to chill out and have a distraction. also hearing your thoughts and perspective on different things is nice and has helped me and made me re-think things ive previously thought. very excited for future vids, i have a feeling you'll be at 1 mil subs in no time. thank you for your dedication!!!
I really appreciate the dating conversation, I'm turning 21 in a couple months and have never gone on a date let alone been in a relationship and I've felt a little behind on life. You made me feel seen😊
Dude I've been watching you for the last month, and I've quickly fallen in love with the style of your videos. One of the only few channels that can calm me down at the end of the day and that I get ECSTATIC about when a new video pops up on my feed. I think you've really struck gold with the way that you edit, style, and format your videos, and it's SUCH a breath of fresh air in the wild west of the internet. It really inspires me to start something of my own. Keep doing what you're doing, I wish nothing but the best for you!
highly recommend cold sweat for temperature, much less finicky and shows you when you're freezing/overheating more clearly and gives you sort of a reaction timer. also thin air is a pretty good mod, you can't breathe at extremely high or low altitudes, makes things interesting
despite having the video in the background while playing sims4, i loved the video :) your voice is calming yet clear. anytime i tuned it, your commentary was engaging and id often pause to listen completely ! i love how unique your commentary is as well, from irl topics to saying what youre doing in game, everything is fluent and never dulling. 1hr+ minecraft gameplay that doesnt bore is rare, thank you !
I love it whenever I hear that music that plays whenever a charged creeper is near you its so happy feeling, but yet so threatening. As always, Flow, keep up the great work!
we need another Star Dew Valley type of video! Relaxing building houses and farming your way to the end would be so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. And ofc some talking in between. Love from Sweden ❤️
Decided to gift you a little even tho it’s not much but the help you provided a bit in this video was nice, and I appreciate the calmness of this video. 🖤
Honestly, these long videos are my favorite genre of minecraft content and your videos specifically are just the best and its such a nice time. Always falling asleep to it and then rewatching it during the day
I love these videos, especially being long but the music and commentary makes it even more relaxing. I love getting to rewatch them when I fall asleep in the middle of them, and this video specifically revolving around the colder biomes is perfect for this time of year and I love just getting all cozy in my bed to watch. Finding this channel has been such a wonderful thing
When it comes to your difficulty settings, a great middle point you could do mediumcore, it’s basically survival but every time you die you lose a heart.
2:00:50 A lot of the times when you feel hungry, you're actually thirsty, especially what you're describing. We get a majority of our water from food, so make sure to drink enough water every day!
I’ve been using your mod pack for a couple weeks now (with farmers delight and some furniture mods included) and I’m loving it. It tools some time to get used to the different camera. But being forced to take the early game super slow is exactly what I needed to really enjoy a new world again.
i love your content man, its so refreshing and chill ! Also, i liked your hardcore series because i never knew if you were going to die or not. I think you should keep doing hardcore as well as normal survival because both are really nice to watch !
I have no clue how you keep up with *flowing* out content. I love your stuff, your style, and your inspiration. You really are one of the best TH-camrs out there.
for around 1:45:00, the sweet spot is usually 2-3 hours. I think 4 would be too long for a lot of people especially if it's for a 117 days or such. However a 4 hour video could be for the video like you said in a previous video; no commentary but music with just gameplay. Also, I usually don't play minecraft with anything in the background but your videos are great to have on the side!!
57:00 that little talk on how not to spend much! Man thanks a lot. I've recently been working hard on saving my money and not spending excessively. This was much needed. Trying to figure out the "needs and wants" is very important. Thanks Flow
I love the life advice and the lore and the insight of your life you are my new favorite youTuber I’ve been trying to start the TH-cam life and making videos and you are a great inspiration to me and a lot of others keep doing what you’re doing
This video feels like watching a friend stream a video game on discord while you're hanging out in a server. The wholesome tangents about relationships and snippets of life advice is so wholesome and refreshing to let's play videos. Hope you get big flowstate :]
You know it is going to be a good day when we get blessed with a 3-hour long Flowstate video 🙏🙏 I hadn't played Minecraft is ages because I always got bored of vanilla with only shaders or a different texture pack, but I found your channel from the better adventures+ modpack and decided to try it with some of my own additions as well I have been having so much more fun! Also, the long form chatting type of content is awesome, and your editing quality is fantastic. I think I remember you mentioning that you might have ADHD in a video before, and coming from someone with ADHD, I can definitely relate to the way that you talk and structure your thoughts in conversations by getting off topic and linking seemingly random ideas together, and it is incredibly entertaining and comforting to watch or listen to in the background for long periods of time, much more so than super structured or animated talking you see from a lot of other youtubers haha
Im in my undergrad right now, and most of my day consists of either studying or working at the hospital. Finals are coming up soon, and the workload is heavier than ever so I'm pretty stressed out, but every night before I go to bed I always put on one of your videos. Even if I have already watched it. I rarely get to play Minecraft with my limited free time being taken up by work, school, or my girlfriend, so watching these videos is just truly the most relaxing and calming part of my day. I love watching you try out all these cool mods and listen to your random talks while playing survival mode, and the shaders and music really do add the perfect finishing touch. But yeah, I'm fairly new to your channel as I only found it by chance 2-3 months ago and I'm so glad I did. I've binge watched so many videos already and, even if I am in my stupid neuroscience research methods lecture and I get a notification that you posted, I get so hyped and excited to hop into my bed and just relax and watch. I'm really glad your channel is doing so well and that you have found happiness in making these creative fun videos, as it truly is a great pleasure to watch them. Keep up the great work man. Also if you're still reading what is the song that starts playing at 40:58? It's so calming lol.
i REALLY love your videos, flow. they're just different than any other gameplays i've seen before and watching them gives me this warm, comforting feeling. listening to you talk makes me think you're just a really cool guy. keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it amazingly.
I think the switch to regular survival is a nice shift to something more relaxed. It creates more funny moments throughout the video and it gives it a more light-hearted feel which I think suits the channel a lot Maybe also consider something in between, like a limited amount of lives? Personally I think if dying doesn't matter then it's not really "surviving" 117 days, since there's no way for you to lose
I ADORE flow’s long form content style. Especially with the frequent updating, I always have something to watch when I’m eating breakfast or doing hw. you’re so cool man, really appreciate you and your content ‼️‼️
It's true though. I literally can't sleep peacefully without hearing my mom moaning so loudly,even when she's masturbating on her own with no man there,she STILL moans so loudly as if nobody can hear her 😭 Like girl the WHOLE neighborhood can hear you and it's so embarrassing 💀 I'm gay and it's hella uncomfortable for me to hear all that,so I just wear my headphones to cancel all the outside noise 🤣 I'm very surprised though how she hasn't realized/come to the conclusion to masturbate in silence since everyone can hear her,like I for one know damn well to not moan or make any loud noises while I'm riding my dildos,so how tf does she not know the number one rule to masturbating?? Which is staying silent and not making any noises when your walls are so thin 😭😭😭
Had a long day today, did a workout and went on a run with a friend. Was looking everyday for a new upload, and it’s the perfect moment rn! Also have a little race tomorrow and this is just great for relaxing, absolutely love ur content so so much! Hope u all have a great week guys!
I struggle to sleep and need to listen to videos to fall asleep, and this video along with the star dew one have been my saviors. I have chronic night terrors and whatever I listen to guides my dreams. You talking throughout with the music in the background helps them not get so bad! (Along with my prescribed medication of course) but thank you!! I like it not being so stressed over not dying. It’s nice. Keep up the good work and these videos!! It’ll get you far
It’s actually really interesting, your talk about marriage and the pressure on women; I had this in a class literally yesterday talking about how governments and ruling parties really want to push the ‘get married or else’ attitude because it creates economic benefit. So it doesn’t come from nowhere, it’s very much encouraged. And I agree- it’s totally awful!
Also- really, nobody is on that ‘everyone does it’ life path. It’s a total myth but at the same time it’s expected of everybody. It’s such a pointless exercise that mainly hurts queer, disabled, or otherwise ‘non-native’ to whatever country people… but it does actually hurt and pressure everyone to some extent, because nobody is “normal” lol
I love the chill vibe of your videos. Flowstate, your videos are always the best and I love coming home from school and studying to them or just watching them in general. Keep up the good work.
I am addicted to these gameplay videos with simple ideas, no algorithm slop like "I COLLECTED ALL 389593266 XYZ". Absolute cinema. Please continue to make more
damn dude 300 views in like 5 minutes, shows how good of a content creator you are, people love watching you man, me included. Love the vids man keep it up!
1:46:52-I love the longer videos because I can watch them at work or while I'm gaming too and its nice to have. Also your little rants about life feel like a FT call so its really relaxing lol.🥰
I've been watching your content for a little bit now because I love deep conversations and information sharing type stuff. I am so incredibly happy you touched on dating and marriage culture around the 1:45:00 mark, because I know so many people who feel that pressure and have assumptions about relationships that they push onto others. Personally I've never seen the point because I live life for me, but I find it heartbreaking more people feel that anxiety than not. Anyways love your content and I'm so excited to see more
Kind of unfortunate that the cold mod didn’t use the vanilla cold heart texture and screen overlay. I feel it would give a better indication of when you’re starting to get cold. Otherwise looks to be a fun mod pack combo
Hi flow, I haven't watched the video yet (obviously), but I just wanted to say, that I've only recently found you and I am literally in love with your videos. I've always thought of myself as a chill, never stressing guy, but while I'm watching you (and for some time after) I feel the peace that I think I've never felt before. That made me wonder if maybe I'm stressing all the time, but that's besides the point. I suspect, that that peacefulness I feel is partly because minecraft was the first game I've played (I'm 23 btw) and is so familiar to my mind, but also greatly because of the immersive modpack you've created and your playing/narrative style. The is no rush, no deadline to mind, no excessive expression and emotions. It's just you in a new world, guiding us through your journey and telling interesting stories. You're truly unique and I'm glad you could quit your job (congratulations!) to go full time into creating this content for us. Since I found you it's almost only your videos that I watch on YT. So I guess, thank you. I really appreciate it. On a side note, I've always liked to play with my voice, doing audiobooks, singing etc. and you've inspired me to try and create something similar for a polish audience. Cozy and peaceful minecraft videos with me, trying my best to soothe people with my voice. Once I upgrade my PC, I'll start and we'll see if I could be for someone, who you are for me.
I've only been watching you for a few days, but I've become very charmed by your videos. I also love the switch to normal survival. The game is challenging enough as it is. Also, such a cold video is great to watch while snuggled up in bed. Keep up the good work!
hey man i really love your videos! they're so chill to watch or to have as background. I love your commentary and just talking about random subjects. I feel like no one really just talks about life anymore and experiences. its so much just silly brainrot nowadays. And you feel more 'real' about everything then most of the internet. Thanks for making videos man! (sorry for the grammer english is not my first language lmao)
i used to hate how deep he would get during his gameplay. but now that i’m going through a really rough patch right now, it’s really nice to hear someone relating/talking about THEIR issues. idk i’ve found myself putting this guy on daily, definitely has grown on me❤
Finally one where you do survive the 117 days lol Jokes aside I prefer this more, maybe still make death give some penalty like deleting the inventory maybe if you miss that aspect, or something along those lines :D
i love how honest you are when you're making that signature speech about your life in the middle of the video, really just shows that you're a good person
What if you do a desert type video. Like the Sahara desert almost nothing around you barely any structures any water, and it’s on hardcore. I think that would be a challenge.
honestly im kinda sick of hardcore let's plays at this point? as flowstate says at the beginning of the video it seems like everybody and their mother's doing hardcore let's plays
Absolutely love this style of long content! Its super relaxing and sometimes i fall asleep to it, but i will rewatch the video too! I also love watching you use Level Z! Such a fun mod and a fun way to do videos!
1:41:29 definitely agree with the “true love” statement, and i also ask you: does true love have to be romantic? for me i say true love does exist, and it’s my cat. it doesn’t have to be romantic or even something really affectionate like that. but that’s just me :)
As a Christian, I definitely agree with what you are saying. There is an evangelist by the name of Cliff Knechtle, who goes to campuses to preach, but he isn't running around manipulating people in becoming a believer, he simply gives them the opportunity to (like you said) come to him and ask questions about Christianity.
1:53:33 going off the gym talk, something that helped me, as stupid as it may seem, was to plan my day around going to the gym. Set a time you want to go and be finished at the gym. Maybe do this with recording as well, give yourself time between work and the gym to record, eat dinner then head straight to the gym afterwards, or do the opposite in the morning. I don’t know how busy you are but there is always time to improve your health, even if it’s for 30 min a day, it’s better than nothing. Hope this helps, love what you’re doing, keep it up.
with video length i would say that I often skip videos when I am scrolling through youtube when the videos are under like 30 minutes because I am usually looking for videos, I love the long form content you offer, its amazing for watching on the second monitor when I am playing Minecraft or doing work
hey flow. just wanna let you know i love your videos. i suffer with anxiety and i struggle to sleep because of it but your videos help me relax and sleep. soooo thanks for that.
I've been keeping up with you since the "building with no plan" bridge with the og terrance and clarence gangs lol. Been loving the new videos and new ideas you're trying, I look forward to watching them before bed every weekend
From the first video I've seen, immediately something felt different. Everything from the chatty style, to the priotizing of ambiance and music this has sooo quickly become my fav minecraft channel
this is basically all i've searched for in modded minecraft survivals. it's not hardcore, there are mods but not an excessive amount, AND it has something i honestly want to be added to minecraft - temperature. i love the concept of being in a snowy biome requires leather armor or being in the nether requires less heavy armor, like iron or below. plus, this dude's voice is so chill i love it
dude i love how down to earth u are, u dont scream and shout at everything and i can really relate to u as like a normal person. Love ur conent and i hope u get the big breakthough u deserve. Keep going, U CAN DO ITTTT. p.s. congrats on ur job thing :)
i really like the look and functions of the mods and shaders and stuff you frequently use. Is it possible to put a list of them in the description? I think the slower pacing and different feel would really get me back into playing minecraft again
1 and a half hours in and i love this. I usually get so distracted while watching videos, i use my phone or i play a video game and use it as a podcast but somehow I just paid attention the whole time. The peacefullness just shut my brain off and I just enjoyed some pizza while watching this, def binging your videos from today lol
You Really Inspired Me! Thank you Dude! 💓💓💗💖💝!!!! even so I hate Living in the city its Pretty Wild, even so I love to Live in a small County with Love, respect, and Even Mostly Community of Peaceful
just started watching your vids man and i gotta your content is like a breath of fresh air just you playing the game no acting nothing over the top its so nice
I'm 20 minutes in but I love it so far. Nice and chill "100 days" video. Perfect for relaxing in the evening before going to sleep. 20 minutes was enough for me to subscribe. Keep up the good work! Edit: Also, I don't know about other people but I don't give a duck about hardcore.
Love your videos so much, they hit the need for entertaining, chill, and cozy just right. - As a note on the whole "biological clock" thing - when men are older, there's a higher risk of there being birth defects, it's just not something that's commonly known/discussed. And oof, yeah - been on the receiving end of comments when mentioning that I and my partner don't want kids, and people get So awful about it or like, wish an accidental pregnancy on people, which is....kinda a pretty awful thing to wish for a kid to have parents that didn't want them. Especially since we've both got health issues that we wouldn't want to pass down. - Enchanted arrows don't count for infinity, unfortunately, just normal ones iirc -Lived in a city for quite a few years and the best bet is to just not react at all and keep walking, or fake a conversation like you mentioned
I love normal survival vids, its cool to see things get finished without the consequence of losing everything from a wrong move

Agree!
EnvironmentZ has a broken config out of box. I found this out when I added it to your pack a few days ago. The thermostat shows the temperature of the given area you are in, and the other hud aspect you hid shows YOUR temp, which is why you kept dying when no longer cold. I changed the config to have it in long term where it only does damage after 15 minutes in a very cold or hot biome and it was a nice addition

This long form of videos without crazy screaming and over the top stuff is so precious nowadays, by the comments Ive read I realized how we all feel the same. Im glad you have a positive comunity and are getting recognition! Your videos really help us unwind, in my case I have severe anxiety, like vomiting, passing out anxiety.... this type of videos helps me relax a lot while still being captivated by the story, thank you for what you do!
Man, Flow I waited all week for you to upload another vid and you definitely didn't disappoint! I love your vids and talks. It's nice to see a long vid in survival. I'm looking forward to more of your vids and watching your journey develop as a youtuber.
The reverb you add when you are underground adds to the immersion a lot. Its insane how much it adds to the quality ❤
I’m excited for this video flowstate, love how chill your videos are, even more chill being on a frozen wasteland
just found your channel only a couple days ago and im already obsessed. i appreciate the longer vids, i can pause and start watching again whenever and i've found myself watching them before bed bc they're so relaxing and laid back. as someone with bad anxiety it def helps me to chill out and have a distraction. also hearing your thoughts and perspective on different things is nice and has helped me and made me re-think things ive previously thought. very excited for future vids, i have a feeling you'll be at 1 mil subs in no time. thank you for your dedication!!!
I really appreciate the dating conversation, I'm turning 21 in a couple months and have never gone on a date let alone been in a relationship and I've felt a little behind on life. You made me feel seen😊
Its the perfect time of year for this video. The epitome of cozy weekend vibes.
Hey slip!
@ ayee 😉 whaddup my g
Dude I've been watching you for the last month, and I've quickly fallen in love with the style of your videos. One of the only few channels that can calm me down at the end of the day and that I get ECSTATIC about when a new video pops up on my feed. I think you've really struck gold with the way that you edit, style, and format your videos, and it's SUCH a breath of fresh air in the wild west of the internet. It really inspires me to start something of my own. Keep doing what you're doing, I wish nothing but the best for you!
Thank you very much!
highly recommend cold sweat for temperature, much less finicky and shows you when you're freezing/overheating more clearly and gives you sort of a reaction timer. also thin air is a pretty good mod, you can't breathe at extremely high or low altitudes, makes things interesting
despite having the video in the background while playing sims4, i loved the video :) your voice is calming yet clear. anytime i tuned it, your commentary was engaging and id often pause to listen completely ! i love how unique your commentary is as well, from irl topics to saying what youre doing in game, everything is fluent and never dulling. 1hr+ minecraft gameplay that doesnt bore is rare, thank you !
I love it whenever I hear that music that plays whenever a charged creeper is near you its so happy feeling, but yet so threatening. As always, Flow, keep up the great work!
we need another Star Dew Valley type of video! Relaxing building houses and farming your way to the end would be so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. And ofc some talking in between. Love from Sweden ❤️
Decided to gift you a little even tho it’s not much but the help you provided a bit in this video was nice, and I appreciate the calmness of this video. 🖤
Thank you!
@ You’re welcome! ☺️ I hope you have a wonderful day today!
Honestly, these long videos are my favorite genre of minecraft content and your videos specifically are just the best and its such a nice time. Always falling asleep to it and then rewatching it during the day
I love these videos, especially being long but the music and commentary makes it even more relaxing. I love getting to rewatch them when I fall asleep in the middle of them, and this video specifically revolving around the colder biomes is perfect for this time of year and I love just getting all cozy in my bed to watch. Finding this channel has been such a wonderful thing
When it comes to your difficulty settings, a great middle point you could do mediumcore, it’s basically survival but every time you die you lose a heart.
2:00:50 A lot of the times when you feel hungry, you're actually thirsty, especially what you're describing. We get a majority of our water from food, so make sure to drink enough water every day!
I’ve been using your mod pack for a couple weeks now (with farmers delight and some furniture mods included) and I’m loving it. It tools some time to get used to the different camera. But being forced to take the early game super slow is exactly what I needed to really enjoy a new world again.
What are the mods he is using?
Hey i just wanted to say that you can adjust the settings in that camera mod you're talking about. He goes over it in one of his mod videos (=
@@KreozYt Its called "Better Adventures+" on CurseForge. Besides the mods he mentions in the video.
I love putting on your videos to fall asleep to after I've already watched them once. Your voice and the content itself is calming
2:04:09 I think we can all agree that whenever this song starts playing, something bad is about to happen, especially if it involves a charged creeper
i love your content man, its so refreshing and chill ! Also, i liked your hardcore series because i never knew if you were going to die or not. I think you should keep doing hardcore as well as normal survival because both are really nice to watch !
I have no clue how you keep up with *flowing* out content. I love your stuff, your style, and your inspiration. You really are one of the best TH-camrs out there.
for around 1:45:00, the sweet spot is usually 2-3 hours. I think 4 would be too long for a lot of people especially if it's for a 117 days or such. However a 4 hour video could be for the video like you said in a previous video; no commentary but music with just gameplay. Also, I usually don't play minecraft with anything in the background but your videos are great to have on the side!!
117 sure is a specific amount
I would say it's the perfect amount
i’m pretty sure he just wanted something different instead of the copy-paste 100 days
@@lynlyn1418 i think he didn't have a specific amount and that was just an after thought
@@kristjaneli-f2g His other survival vids have that 117 days
It's a reference to Halo. John 117 is the Master Chief. Or demon if you are the covenant.
57:00 that little talk on how not to spend much! Man thanks a lot. I've recently been working hard on saving my money and not spending excessively. This was much needed. Trying to figure out the "needs and wants" is very important.
Thanks Flow
I love the life advice and the lore and the insight of your life you are my new favorite youTuber I’ve been trying to start the TH-cam life and making videos and you are a great inspiration to me and a lot of others keep doing what you’re doing
This video feels like watching a friend stream a video game on discord while you're hanging out in a server. The wholesome tangents about relationships and snippets of life advice is so wholesome and refreshing to let's play videos. Hope you get big flowstate :]
You know it is going to be a good day when we get blessed with a 3-hour long Flowstate video 🙏🙏
I hadn't played Minecraft is ages because I always got bored of vanilla with only shaders or a different texture pack, but I found your channel from the better adventures+ modpack and decided to try it with some of my own additions as well I have been having so much more fun!
Also, the long form chatting type of content is awesome, and your editing quality is fantastic. I think I remember you mentioning that you might have ADHD in a video before, and coming from someone with ADHD, I can definitely relate to the way that you talk and structure your thoughts in conversations by getting off topic and linking seemingly random ideas together, and it is incredibly entertaining and comforting to watch or listen to in the background for long periods of time, much more so than super structured or animated talking you see from a lot of other youtubers haha
Im in my undergrad right now, and most of my day consists of either studying or working at the hospital. Finals are coming up soon, and the workload is heavier than ever so I'm pretty stressed out, but every night before I go to bed I always put on one of your videos. Even if I have already watched it. I rarely get to play Minecraft with my limited free time being taken up by work, school, or my girlfriend, so watching these videos is just truly the most relaxing and calming part of my day. I love watching you try out all these cool mods and listen to your random talks while playing survival mode, and the shaders and music really do add the perfect finishing touch. But yeah, I'm fairly new to your channel as I only found it by chance 2-3 months ago and I'm so glad I did. I've binge watched so many videos already and, even if I am in my stupid neuroscience research methods lecture and I get a notification that you posted, I get so hyped and excited to hop into my bed and just relax and watch. I'm really glad your channel is doing so well and that you have found happiness in making these creative fun videos, as it truly is a great pleasure to watch them. Keep up the great work man. Also if you're still reading what is the song that starts playing at 40:58? It's so calming lol.
I appreciate your comment. That song is Intoxicating Mist - DEX 1200
Just finished watching. Thanks for helping me sleep once againnnn, was really praying going in that there were no burps this time LOL
i REALLY love your videos, flow. they're just different than any other gameplays i've seen before and watching them gives me this warm, comforting feeling. listening to you talk makes me think you're just a really cool guy.
keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it amazingly.
I think the switch to regular survival is a nice shift to something more relaxed. It creates more funny moments throughout the video and it gives it a more light-hearted feel which I think suits the channel a lot
Maybe also consider something in between, like a limited amount of lives? Personally I think if dying doesn't matter then it's not really "surviving" 117 days, since there's no way for you to lose
I ADORE flow’s long form content style. Especially with the frequent updating, I always have something to watch when I’m eating breakfast or doing hw. you’re so cool man, really appreciate you and your content ‼️‼️
0:40 sorry what
I mean he’s not wrong….
It's true though. I literally can't sleep peacefully without hearing my mom moaning so loudly,even when she's masturbating on her own with no man there,she STILL moans so loudly as if nobody can hear her 😭 Like girl the WHOLE neighborhood can hear you and it's so embarrassing 💀 I'm gay and it's hella uncomfortable for me to hear all that,so I just wear my headphones to cancel all the outside noise 🤣 I'm very surprised though how she hasn't realized/come to the conclusion to masturbate in silence since everyone can hear her,like I for one know damn well to not moan or make any loud noises while I'm riding my dildos,so how tf does she not know the number one rule to masturbating?? Which is staying silent and not making any noises when your walls are so thin 😭😭😭
@@ErisNoir I think you need to tell ur mum that the walls are thin and u can hear her talk so she understands not to MOAN white going at it
@@ErisNoirhey pookie so this is actually TH-cam not a confession website
@@ErisNoirsir this is a Walmart
Had a long day today, did a workout and went on a run with a friend. Was looking everyday for a new upload, and it’s the perfect moment rn! Also have a little race tomorrow and this is just great for relaxing, absolutely love ur content so so much! Hope u all have a great week guys!
Really appreciate the non hardcore gameplay, really adds to the chill vibes imo
great vid as always!
I struggle to sleep and need to listen to videos to fall asleep, and this video along with the star dew one have been my saviors. I have chronic night terrors and whatever I listen to guides my dreams. You talking throughout with the music in the background helps them not get so bad! (Along with my prescribed medication of course) but thank you!! I like it not being so stressed over not dying. It’s nice. Keep up the good work and these videos!! It’ll get you far
It’s actually really interesting, your talk about marriage and the pressure on women; I had this in a class literally yesterday talking about how governments and ruling parties really want to push the ‘get married or else’ attitude because it creates economic benefit. So it doesn’t come from nowhere, it’s very much encouraged. And I agree- it’s totally awful!
Also- really, nobody is on that ‘everyone does it’ life path. It’s a total myth but at the same time it’s expected of everybody. It’s such a pointless exercise that mainly hurts queer, disabled, or otherwise ‘non-native’ to whatever country people… but it does actually hurt and pressure everyone to some extent, because nobody is “normal” lol
I love the chill vibe of your videos. Flowstate, your videos are always the best and I love coming home from school and studying to them or just watching them in general. Keep up the good work.
I am addicted to these gameplay videos with simple ideas, no algorithm slop like "I COLLECTED ALL 389593266 XYZ". Absolute cinema. Please continue to make more
damn dude 300 views in like 5 minutes, shows how good of a content creator you are, people love watching you man, me included. Love the vids man keep it up!
1:46:52-I love the longer videos because I can watch them at work or while I'm gaming too and its nice to have. Also your little rants about life feel like a FT call so its really relaxing lol.🥰
loving this, stayed home from school and this is the perfect distressing video
Distressing?
@@rose-gw8oxI think they meant that this video makes you stress free
I've been watching your content for a little bit now because I love deep conversations and information sharing type stuff. I am so incredibly happy you touched on dating and marriage culture around the 1:45:00 mark, because I know so many people who feel that pressure and have assumptions about relationships that they push onto others. Personally I've never seen the point because I live life for me, but I find it heartbreaking more people feel that anxiety than not. Anyways love your content and I'm so excited to see more
Kind of unfortunate that the cold mod didn’t use the vanilla cold heart texture and screen overlay. I feel it would give a better indication of when you’re starting to get cold.
Otherwise looks to be a fun mod pack combo
8:57 oop Nevermind lol. Still the vanilla hearts would be nice I think
Love watching these long vids while studying for exams the rants really help me stay concentrated with my adhd
Hi flow, I haven't watched the video yet (obviously), but I just wanted to say, that I've only recently found you and I am literally in love with your videos. I've always thought of myself as a chill, never stressing guy, but while I'm watching you (and for some time after) I feel the peace that I think I've never felt before. That made me wonder if maybe I'm stressing all the time, but that's besides the point.
I suspect, that that peacefulness I feel is partly because minecraft was the first game I've played (I'm 23 btw) and is so familiar to my mind, but also greatly because of the immersive modpack you've created and your playing/narrative style. The is no rush, no deadline to mind, no excessive expression and emotions. It's just you in a new world, guiding us through your journey and telling interesting stories.
You're truly unique and I'm glad you could quit your job (congratulations!) to go full time into creating this content for us. Since I found you it's almost only your videos that I watch on YT. So I guess, thank you. I really appreciate it.
On a side note, I've always liked to play with my voice, doing audiobooks, singing etc. and you've inspired me to try and create something similar for a polish audience. Cozy and peaceful minecraft videos with me, trying my best to soothe people with my voice. Once I upgrade my PC, I'll start and we'll see if I could be for someone, who you are for me.
I've only been watching you for a few days, but I've become very charmed by your videos. I also love the switch to normal survival. The game is challenging enough as it is. Also, such a cold video is great to watch while snuggled up in bed.
Keep up the good work!
Steven Universe fans hearing flowstate call it "Per-i-doe":
Meanwhile gemstone nerds trying to watch SU and cringing every time they pronounce it peri-dot 😂
hey man i really love your videos! they're so chill to watch or to have as background. I love your commentary and just talking about random subjects. I feel like no one really just talks about life anymore and experiences. its so much just silly brainrot nowadays. And you feel more 'real' about everything then most of the internet. Thanks for making videos man! (sorry for the grammer english is not my first language lmao)
Will you ever try some of the previous challenges in survival? I really liked the stardew valley and the zombie ones
Yeah I might do sequel videos for those concepts
i used to hate how deep he would get during his gameplay. but now that i’m going through a really rough patch right now, it’s really nice to hear someone relating/talking about THEIR issues. idk i’ve found myself putting this guy on daily, definitely has grown on me❤
Finally one where you do survive the 117 days lol
Jokes aside I prefer this more, maybe still make death give some penalty like deleting the inventory maybe if you miss that aspect, or something along those lines :D
i love how honest you are when you're making that signature speech about your life in the middle of the video, really just shows that you're a good person
What if you do a desert type video. Like the Sahara desert almost nothing around you barely any structures any water, and it’s on hardcore. I think that would be a challenge.
Yeah I'll probably do a desert video sometime
honestly im kinda sick of hardcore let's plays at this point? as flowstate says at the beginning of the video it seems like everybody and their mother's doing hardcore let's plays
Absolutely love this style of long content! Its super relaxing and sometimes i fall asleep to it, but i will rewatch the video too! I also love watching you use Level Z! Such a fun mod and a fun way to do videos!
there's a mod for tough as nails called "bed of nails" which adds this and reworks warmth and stuff, i think that could help if you do a follow up
oh and a quick and easy way to get warm is to set your self on fire
Watching the channel grow & the process of becoming self employed; you love to see it 👌🏼
1:41:29 definitely agree with the “true love” statement, and i also ask you: does true love have to be romantic? for me i say true love does exist, and it’s my cat. it doesn’t have to be romantic or even something really affectionate like that. but that’s just me :)
Your videos are so soothing and I love keeping them up in the background.
3 hours!!! Lest goooo
A long survival video on the weekend!!?? Perfect timing, thanks!
As a Christian, I definitely agree with what you are saying.
There is an evangelist by the name of Cliff Knechtle, who goes to campuses to preach, but he isn't running around manipulating people in becoming a believer, he simply gives them the opportunity to (like you said) come to him and ask questions about Christianity.
I haven't waited for anyone's videos in years man, can't wait to watch it and thanks for all the work you do
He didn't really knock on wood did he
i really love these calm, long videos. i often end up falling asleep to them and rewinding to where i remember when i wake up
Feetstate
No
1:53:33 going off the gym talk, something that helped me, as stupid as it may seem, was to plan my day around going to the gym. Set a time you want to go and be finished at the gym. Maybe do this with recording as well, give yourself time between work and the gym to record, eat dinner then head straight to the gym afterwards, or do the opposite in the morning. I don’t know how busy you are but there is always time to improve your health, even if it’s for 30 min a day, it’s better than nothing. Hope this helps, love what you’re doing, keep it up.
with video length i would say that I often skip videos when I am scrolling through youtube when the videos are under like 30 minutes because I am usually looking for videos, I love the long form content you offer, its amazing for watching on the second monitor when I am playing Minecraft or doing work
hey flow. just wanna let you know i love your videos. i suffer with anxiety and i struggle to sleep because of it but your videos help me relax and sleep. soooo thanks for that.
so glad it's not hardcore but normal survival, makes it much more relaxing. love the vids
I've been keeping up with you since the "building with no plan" bridge with the og terrance and clarence gangs lol. Been loving the new videos and new ideas you're trying, I look forward to watching them before bed every weekend
You are one of the few youtubers I ACTUALLY check everyday for uploads :D
From the first video I've seen, immediately something felt different. Everything from the chatty style, to the priotizing of ambiance and music this has sooo quickly become my fav minecraft channel
Just in time for the weekend! Its gonna be very cozy and relaxing, thanks as always flow!
this is basically all i've searched for in modded minecraft survivals. it's not hardcore, there are mods but not an excessive amount, AND it has something i honestly want to be added to minecraft - temperature. i love the concept of being in a snowy biome requires leather armor or being in the nether requires less heavy armor, like iron or below. plus, this dude's voice is so chill i love it
Drinking game: take a shot everytime Flow freezes to death (despite being RIGHT next to a campfire).
I have a fever right now and watching your videos always makes me feel great. Keep going, dude!
dude i love how down to earth u are, u dont scream and shout at everything and i can really relate to u as like a normal person. Love ur conent and i hope u get the big breakthough u deserve. Keep going, U CAN DO ITTTT. p.s. congrats on ur job thing :)
i really enjoyed you talking and im kinda lonely guy but you was like a friend to me listening and watching u before sleeping sooo thank you mate❤
i really like the look and functions of the mods and shaders and stuff you frequently use. Is it possible to put a list of them in the description? I think the slower pacing and different feel would really get me back into playing minecraft again
He made it into a modpack and made a video sbout it
Everything I use is in Better Adventures+
i watched this vid while drawing and it felt like a podcast, rlly calming and relaxing plz make more :DD
Watching this while bundled up is very vibey I’m enjoying it thoroughly.
1 and a half hours in and i love this. I usually get so distracted while watching videos, i use my phone or i play a video game and use it as a podcast but somehow I just paid attention the whole time. The peacefullness just shut my brain off and I just enjoyed some pizza while watching this, def binging your videos from today lol
You Really Inspired Me! Thank you Dude! 💓💓💗💖💝!!!! even so I hate Living in the city its Pretty Wild, even so I love to Live in a small County with Love, respect, and Even Mostly Community of Peaceful
just started watching your vids man and i gotta your content is like a breath of fresh air just you playing the game no acting nothing over the top its so nice
I'm 20 minutes in but I love it so far. Nice and chill "100 days" video. Perfect for relaxing in the evening before going to sleep. 20 minutes was enough for me to subscribe. Keep up the good work! Edit: Also, I don't know about other people but I don't give a duck about hardcore.
Love your videos so much, they hit the need for entertaining, chill, and cozy just right.
- As a note on the whole "biological clock" thing - when men are older, there's a higher risk of there being birth defects, it's just not something that's commonly known/discussed. And oof, yeah - been on the receiving end of comments when mentioning that I and my partner don't want kids, and people get So awful about it or like, wish an accidental pregnancy on people, which is....kinda a pretty awful thing to wish for a kid to have parents that didn't want them. Especially since we've both got health issues that we wouldn't want to pass down.
- Enchanted arrows don't count for infinity, unfortunately, just normal ones iirc
-Lived in a city for quite a few years and the best bet is to just not react at all and keep walking, or fake a conversation like you mentioned
