If I’m remembering right, there’s a raider group who actually used to be Minutemen but had no choice but to change their lifestyle to survive, and this playthrough lowkey felt like the reverse of that. I kinda like that actually.
@RiverPebbles Don't think of it as pressure. Think of it as motivation. Just don't burn yourself out trying to make everyone happy. Part of what makes stuff like this so enjoyable is when you have fun and we get to have fun with you. I have seen many channels burn thenselves out trying to please people and genuinely hope you remember to take care of yourself as you take this journey.
I will just try to do my silly goofy thing and put out what I can when I can. I really want to make this a career and be able to put out more consistent (and potentially better) content, but we all have to start somewhere. It is overwhelming but I think I will enjoy this. It gives me the ability to say that I was able to do this thing, and not many people can say that.
@RiverPebbles You already have a good style that I'm sure you'll be able to polish. Over the last 15 years, I've watched a lot of channels grow, and honestly, you're starting out with better content than a lot of them. Keep doing your thing, and before you know it, you'll hit 1m and beyond.
Damn man your videos are gold you should do more fallout video like these like " fallout 4 but i only use throwabl item" or these kind of things cause ur good at these
I appreciate the vote of confidence! I have plenty of ideas for Fallout 4 content, but I also want to branch out and not just be labelled as a "Fallout content creator" so I will sprinkle other challenges into the mix. I just want to play the games I enjoy, in very stupid ways and share it with the world!
I do too. Not for the popularity, or anything vain. I just want to make things people enjoy watching and things that people find entertaining. Thank you
I'm currently doing a survival run where I can only use pipe weapons and even with some good legendary armour and weapons, it becomes quite hard towards the later game or against high level enemies.
For anyone who cares I have a plasma infused bolt action sniper rifle in .50 cal., A Deadeye pipe rifle (slows time like Jet when aiming) chambered in .45 and a pipe revolver rifle with the Quickdraw legendary effect (uses less AP in VATS)
I appreciate that!!! I plan on continuing, but current challenges are taking longer to record, and thus taking longer to put out. After the Let's Play shift, I should be able to get them out tri-weekly (don't hold me to that) while I do other stuff!
Can you up the basic volume on future videos a few ticks? Even at full volume on my phone it's not audible if I have a little background noise around me
Worried that I mucked it all up, I checked the audio on my phone and about half-mast I could hear it decently well. Some spots where it gets quieter (as I am a professional and set up everything perfectly all the time), but I believe that I could make it better by making things get louder. Thank you for letting me know and I will make sure to up the volume by a point or two :)
Awsome video, hope you blow up (the good way), If you might do the same run. You can use some mods to make it even more better like killing essential npc.
I wouldn't say million subscriber quality (there are definite audio issues that I hope I can fix as time goes on and just be better at editing), but look at it this way. 600 is a small enough number where I can attempt to give each and every one of you the time and attention you deserve for taking time our of your day to watch my stuff. :)
Should have, but I would have considered that making it too easy. I only want to use power armor if it will make the challenge possible, or if it is part of the run! Besides, getting a power armor frame from raiders can be quite tricky, and saving up enough caps for that would take too long
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm tempted to just keep it the generic picture. I know how important a good profile picture can be, but I want to see if it affects anything. Call it a possible social experiment, if you will
you should try to put more emphasis and emotion when reading your script, you sound like a shy middle schooler reading their first presentation, once you nail that I think you have a real shot attracting a bigger crowd.
I appreciate the constructive criticism and you not just being an ass about that stuff. In terms of delivery, its a learning experience. I just have to be more confident and maybe read the script before I deliver the lines....That or the fact I don't want to piss off my apartment neighbors by being too loud as I naturally have a loud voice and that cuts through walls. But I will (hopefully) constantly be getting better :)
I prefer playing as a Minutemen, however halfway through visiting Nukaworld, becoming the boss then finishing Minutemen to use them as pawns before i *delete* them and become the OVERBOSS. Of course the Institute into Overboss is my prefered method because in a headcanon world I can replace the bosses with Synths and turn Nukaworld into an outpost for the Institute to test things moving forward.
I'm terribly sorry. This went into being held. I forget to check there sometimes because not much gets pushed there! But yes. That sounds like quite the fun time! I may have to try that in the future (maybe not a challenge run but just to have fun with it)
To be fair the individual raider camps aren’t unified (outside maybe a couple exceptions) If raiders actually traveled around, they would totally fight one another. So in my mind, this run can be 100% cannon
I mean, you can side with the raiders. Sure you cant side with all raider factions, but in the end, beeing a raider is the essence of nuka world. You can occupy settlments, threat settlers and fight side by side with other raiders. Also, a real raider would`ve robbed trashcan carla. Other than that, nice video. Edit: Ending the Game with the Minuteman isnt really in Character. Helping settlers against raiders is probably the last thing you should do. The Railroad would probably fit best, as they are the only faction without strong feelings against the raiders. The fact, that you tried to complety fallout 4 as a raider and got softlocked with the minuteman almost feels in character.
I didn't want to visit Nuka World because I would have been distracted with the "Oooh, shiny" sidequests because I love the Nuka World DLC. But the ending screwing me over, did seem in character. I hope Bethesda patches that out in a recent update.
If this is a cheeky way for you to make me suffer as Nerbit had to for his version of that challenge, there is a special place in Spider Hell for you. That being said, I play on PC and it seems he plays on console. I could "theoretically" do the same challenge, but use console commands to give me the proper weapon/ammo for the challenge while also going through the Nuka World DLC. I have ways around it, so if you genuinely want to see it done I can attempt to do it in my own way. Giving credit to the man that inspired me to attempt these random challenges in the first place. To add onto such a long comment, this challenge will be pushed down the list, as there have been other recommendations and other challenges I want to do before that. Also, the Stardew Valley challenge mentioned in this video is taking WAY longer than anticipated so it is going to be broken into parts (I'm assuming a 3-parter video series), so its going to be a bit until my next idea anyways.
RE Cannibal and companions: dogmeat, strong, automatons, and apparently gage are fine to take with you according to the wiki. Strong has other quirks that make me just leave him behind though. he hates picking locks and hacking, which is like 2/3rds of the whole ass game. 🤣
You see, I would have if I was smarter and planned ahead. I also didn't want to implement any DLC for a first video, in the off chance that this is (for some reason) a viewer's first time seeing Fallout 4 content. If applicable for future videos, I will for sure hit up the different DLC's to make sure I am fully encompassing the challenge :)
@@RiverPebbles Valid reasons. I'd be interested in seeing the content myself, because I never side with the raiders. Too much fun making their heads go pop like grapes by sniping them with an anti-materiel rifle. What? They're raiders, not human beings. ;p
Not a bad idea for a challenge run but as a raider I feal you should add settlement to the places you can loot because you know your a raider that's kind the whole point of being a raider
I mean I guess you could’ve got Gage as a companion, but that involves Nuka World, and then you need to resist doing the rest of Nuka World… I mean that or make a raider robot but they’re SLIGHTLY overpowered lmao
can you beat fallout 4 as a synth? for example: you have to choose a person you want to kill and then you have to use their weapon' armor' for the rest of the game. of course you can sell stuff and get more ammo for your gun.
That is a fantastic idea!! I don't really know how I will decide who the lucky winner is going to be, but I have a few ideas. You my friend are going on the list
The point initially was to record myself playing video games because I am playing them already, so why not record them for others to enjoy. It has evolved to add the challenge videos in the mix because I want to play game "incorrectly" and create something from the madness that comes out of it. Putting things together that I work so hard to get to. That, and to practice and my video editing skills for future other projects that I might work on.
Rock on man. I appreciate that! Unfortunately these aren't my common uploads, but after my current Let's Play series ends I will put forth as much effort as I can muster for these challenge videos. I hope you enjoy what you see :)
I haven't played FO4 in a few years. One of My last runs, I download a few mods that made raiders non hostile, allowed the deaths of the Concord survivors, and a few more not friendly mods. The down side is that at the time the mods did NOT allow any dialogue with the raiders. I still had a blast, captured Mama Murphy and Marcy, killed Preston, Jun, and Sturges. Went to Jared and "traded" Murphy and Marcy, to join his gang. It went well until I started having problems trading My ill gotten goods...Nuka-World tried to fixed that problem. Oh in My run I could NOT finish the main quest. Most factions shot at Me on sight. In another play through the mod allowed peaceful terms with the gunners...but that is another story.
A couple of caveats with those 1) My PC currently is not strong enough to even attempt to do that (8GB RAM because I am stupid while minimum for that game it 16GB) 2) I like to play through a game fully before I make challenge runs out of them so it would be a while before I would attempt one if I got the game. Hope this helps!! Maybe in the future but for now I cannot
I pretty much always side with the BoS since I have a mod that lets me become its leader when it comes time to deal with Danse. My current playthrough has hit a roadblock however due to the fact that the only thing Father will say to me is the stuff about revealing he's shaun and I can't get past the Institutational quest without doing that since I don't want to kill Father. I want him to die in the nuke expolsene. I'm on Xbox so any help would be helpful. I also like going into the railroad headquarters with the BoS when I kill them and use a flamer to do so and I usually wear the X-03 Hellfire power armor that I also got from a mod to do so since I think it just makes sense.
i love your video ideas, subbing because you have interesting video ideas, watched this all the way through. its funny because i was wondering today while playing fallout 4 if you could beat the game without joining a faction, this video is perfect.
I appreciate that. Unfortunately you technically can't beat it without joining a faction, but the ending of the game was basically beaten without being allied by anybody so that could work!
Haha. I like the joke you made there, but don't worry. I don't plan on stopping. It will just be periodic as I have limited time in-between work and other stuff
That requires a perk I believe, and I didn't have too many of those to spare. Other people have also suggested some actions to get rid of them and I think I have a few solutions for the future!
Hey man. Love the script and it feels really natural but I still feel I can see you reading that thing while I’m listening. Scripts are good yeah but I feel like what would be best for you is a bulleted list of things to talk and then just riff about those things to give your videos a more natural feel or just throw more improv type stuff so your voice doesn’t get ahead of your eyes. It’ll make it sound less like a presentation and more like a cool little tidbit vid
Its definitely going to take a little bit of time to find the proper flow with everything. Thank you for your feedback and I'm definitely trying to make it sound more natural. Bullet list may be just what I need :)
have you tried "recycleactor"? it should reset NPC. 3 scenarios could happen after this command: 1. Preston becomes friendly again and you can progress the quest. 2. Preston becomes friendly but forgets everything you did so although you are at the very end he treats you like you met him for the 1st time in the museum. 3. Preston breaks completely and it is what it is.
Indeed. I have followed plenty of internet queries on the topic. It did not seem to work, which was unfortunate. However, the main issue with the game was solved. The institute was handled and there was only a few other things that I HAD to do to "finish" the game. I feel like I proved myself by the end
by all means - yes, it's a shame Bethesda doesn't actually allow player to finish the game as a raider in Nuka, at least not to my knowledge, haven't played the DLC in a long time (4y now I believe)
If that happens, I will be extremely surprised. Especially with how infrequent I am able to push out new content. However, even if I you are my last subscriber, I will be happy with what I have been able to do :)
Dude, I have no idea. I sent my mother a text like two days ago having less than 500, and now that number has almost doubled.....I'm legitimately blown away and have no idea how this happened....
Yo, since you seem to have everything on lock, how do you think Subnautica challenge runs would do on TH-cam? Ive wanted to make them for a while now but ive never been confident about them being popular enough to warrant spending the time on it. Love the video btw!
"Seem to have everything on lock", my friend you misunderstand. I am just lucky. I have only done two challenge videos, and they have done very well for some reason. I barely know how this happened. With that being said, I think I am the perfect specimen to give advice. That advice is....just try it. The only downside that I can see, is that people won't watch it. Yes that sucks, but if you feel accomplished and content after creating the video and completing the challenge, that's all you need. You may hit gold. There may be a massive niche you aren't aware of and you can definitely build a following on that. I'm the wrong person to ask about this, because I have no idea how this happened, but I do want to say to follow your passions. As long as you can do it while being able to pay for everything. Some people are able to succeed by just dropping everything and following their passion, but that isn't always the case. I still work a job, I still have other things I need to do besides these videos. Yes they are fun (and I hate some of the things I have to do putting them together), but they are a passion. They don't consume my life. I still have priorities that I have to do, and these are done in my spare time. TL;DR: Just do it. You'll never know if they will "be popular" to others or not. If you want to, and can do so, do it. You may just luck out as I have :)
Thanks! Also, I think I'ma rock the generic profile picture. At least for a while. I want to see if that will affect the amount of people who watch the video. Just a little experiment on my end, if you will
You can lose caps by simply buying stuff from traders and selling it back to them. Also u looted a drifter while leaving sanctuary, was that intended or did you just forget about the challenge?
Then you're left with weird amounts of money. I have solutions for future videos so don't sweat it! As for the "drifter", if you're referring to the person across the bridge they are a Raider. It says so in their name when you hover over their corpse
My brother in Christ you need a profile photo. I usually don’t click on channels that don’t have them, since it’s usually either older people or kids. But this video was a bop man.
You are correct. I actually went through Nuka World in my Part 2 to this series. This was my first Fallout 4 video and didn't know how many people actually would watch this, so it isn't as good as I wanted it to be (most of my content could be summed up as "old man yells at magic box while playing electronic device"). However, I'm always trying to improve on my skills and be better as the weeks go on. Thank you for watching!
I appreciate that! I hope to put out more stuff you can find joy in (not always/only Fallout content, but I do plan on doing more runs with them, in case you only want to watch those!)
Minutemen need settlements to continue their questline. Raiders try and take over all they can. Its not a great comparison but its how I rationalize it in my head
Valid reaction coming from somebody who wasn't frozen underground for hundreds of years. How about you go through that and see how good your brain works distinguishing friend from food! I hope you enjoyed the video man!
I *technically* am using mods, but only to skip the long and tedious parts of the beginning. Other than that, this was a mostly un-modded run. I can put Skyrim on the list, but I have to admit that while I have played it I have never beaten it.
Nice!!! Well I hope you appreciate the content you see! Challenge videos like these take weeks to complete, so please be patient with me as I work on them, and check back every third Friday after the post and see if its there!
It just takes a while as this is a hobby and not a career, so I have to balance my job, social stuffs, life things, etc. So I try to get it all looking/sounding good and get it out when I can!
nah, 1k isn't going to be the top of this, you keep making these and I'm betting in the next year or so you'll be easily over 100K min, sooner or later one of you're videos will get randomly plastered on everyone's recommended page then everyone who watches stuff like this will watch it, you'll randomly have a video with over 1 mil views and a ton of subs@@RiverPebbles
The long story is not that interesting, but the short story is brief so technically better. I enjoy nature from time to time. I was thinking of nature names for my current online presence and landed on bodies of water. Initially I was going to have this just be my speedrun submission TH-cam channel, but I decided I wanted to make more than just that kind of content. So then we get River. Fast, always moving forward, and if I spell it like "RiviR", its a palindrome! (I just thought of that, doesn't add to backstory but something I enjoy). The pebbles is just because I feel like I need a last name
I never deserve more subscribers. I appreciate them all. From 5 to 55, I am so lucky that people find me enjoyable enough to give me their time in the day. Thank you so much

@RiverPebbles Its Libertalia
that's Libertalia but only BEFORE you go there for the Institute
@AWESOME2715 oh yea, I forgot that Libertalia Changes slightly if you play with the Institute
@@derekmensch3601 There's another place that changes. Clear out Hardware town and it's taken over by Gunners, BOS or Institute.
Companion problem: Porter Gage. He's even a full blown raider.
This video was great, I posted a comment on a willow video using mostly the same rules and its pretty funny who the timing lined up.
I also saw that video recommended today. Thank the TH-cam Gods that it all worked out!
This was fun. Looking forward to seeing you grow.
Thank you!!! I've already grown so much, I don't think I can handle all of this added pressure to perform for people. But I'll do my best!

I appreciate that!!! Its very difficult to find out what to say and what to cut with how much footage there is. Thank you mate!
2:07 you might have been able to buy and then drop stuff of equal or similar value to waste away those caps
Great vid! Im surprised you dont have more subs!

if u haven't been told yet I think u can store caps in items

Should have, but I would have considered that making it too easy. I only want to use power armor if it will make the challenge possible, or if it is part of the run! Besides, getting a power armor frame from raiders can be quite tricky, and saving up enough caps for that would take too long
You can deposit caps in a chest
I have a few other Fallout 4 video ideas, so I will have to keep that in mind. Thank you
great video!
Thanks you! I put a lot of effort into it

Yes
Can you beat fallout 4 as stone cold Steve Austin
I wish you can kill Preston without mods
But you could be the overboss?

I appreciate that so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the show, and I hope you come back for future installments
He does
I can’t believe he only has 700 subs
Agree
If you say so, +1 subscriber
Love the writing during the challenge and the line “This Missile Launcher I stole from the hospital” made me laugh more than it should’ve.
I am very glad you enjoyed that one and a majority of the others! I will do my best to bring you similar quips to add to your list in future videos!
I’m surprised by the small amount of subscribers you have. This video was so good 😁
Appreciated mate!!! I'm just doing my thang. I don't need a big number of subscribers I just need people like you who enjoy my hard work and effort
You can be a raider it’s called the nuka-world DLC and yes, while it is nowhere near the best DLC it is fun
To be fair the individual raider camps aren’t unified (outside maybe a couple exceptions)
If raiders actually traveled around, they would totally fight one another.
So in my mind, this run can be 100% cannon

I use Fast start -Skip Sanctuary prologue, it saves my sanity whenever I start a new game.
Its almost a necessity. Such a loooong opening to a game, and I'm glad modders are able to make it go faster
I'm pretty sure you can grab a companion, give them the money in the misc section, and send them of,
You can align yourself with the raiders with the Nuka World DLC but I'm not entirely sure if the commonwealth raiders will be hostile or not
I don't think they will be friendly. I believe that they are separate so it won't work that way

I mean that or make a raider robot but they’re SLIGHTLY overpowered lmao
Everybody keeps mentioning Nuka-World......I think this challenge has a bit left to it
@@RiverPebbles It IS the raider DLC…
SSShhhh
can you beat fallout 4 as a synth?
for example: you have to choose a person you want to kill and then you have to use their weapon' armor' for the rest of the game. of course you can sell stuff and get more ammo for your gun.
That is a fantastic idea!! I don't really know how I will decide who the lucky winner is going to be, but I have a few ideas.
You my friend are going on the list
@@RiverPebbles REALLY? well your welcome for the idea. :)
Doom eternal pistol only run- it was removed but can be accessed through mods
......haven't I been through enough DOOM torture?????
so what was the point in your channel again?@@RiverPebbles
it is for the views anyway@@RiverPebbles
The point initially was to record myself playing video games because I am playing them already, so why not record them for others to enjoy.
It has evolved to add the challenge videos in the mix because I want to play game "incorrectly" and create something from the madness that comes out of it. Putting things together that I work so hard to get to. That, and to practice and my video editing skills for future other projects that I might work on.
Ok i just subscribed purely off of your vibe immediately i see you doing well with this channel
Rock on man. I appreciate that! Unfortunately these aren't my common uploads, but after my current Let's Play series ends I will put forth as much effort as I can muster for these challenge videos. I hope you enjoy what you see :)
I haven't played FO4 in a few years. One of My last runs, I download a few mods that made raiders non hostile, allowed the deaths of the Concord survivors, and a few more not friendly mods. The down side is that at the time the mods did NOT allow any dialogue with the raiders. I still had a blast, captured Mama Murphy and Marcy, killed Preston, Jun, and Sturges. Went to Jared and "traded" Murphy and Marcy, to join his gang. It went well until I started having problems trading My ill gotten goods...Nuka-World tried to fixed that problem. Oh in My run I could NOT finish the main quest. Most factions shot at Me on sight.
In another play through the mod allowed peaceful terms with the gunners...but that is another story.
That's a really cool playthrough and a very well done mod at the sounds of things. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the video!
Will you make videos on starfield when it comes out ?
A couple of caveats with those
1) My PC currently is not strong enough to even attempt to do that (8GB RAM because I am stupid while minimum for that game it 16GB)
2) I like to play through a game fully before I make challenge runs out of them so it would be a while before I would attempt one if I got the game.
Hope this helps!! Maybe in the future but for now I cannot
I pretty much always side with the BoS since I have a mod that lets me become its leader when it comes time to deal with Danse. My current playthrough has hit a roadblock however due to the fact that the only thing Father will say to me is the stuff about revealing he's shaun and I can't get past the Institutational quest without doing that since I don't want to kill Father. I want him to die in the nuke expolsene. I'm on Xbox so any help would be helpful. I also like going into the railroad headquarters with the BoS when I kill them and use a flamer to do so and I usually wear the X-03 Hellfire power armor that I also got from a mod to do so since I think it just makes sense.
i love your video ideas, subbing because you have interesting video ideas, watched this all the way through. its funny because i was wondering today while playing fallout 4 if you could beat the game without joining a faction, this video is perfect.
I appreciate that. Unfortunately you technically can't beat it without joining a faction, but the ending of the game was basically beaten without being allied by anybody so that could work!
You can store caps in containers. Just throw them in a bin if you have to get rid of them.
I've been told. I had no idea until posting this video. Just know that future Fallout 4 videos will implement this feature
@@RiverPebbles good shit, and good luck :D
You can leave caps and containers as far as I remember
*in
Can't drop caps but you can drop items so spend the caps on stuff and drop all the stuff. Best way I know of at the least.
One more hidden gem in this sad wasteland. Keep it up❤
Haha. I like the joke you made there, but don't worry. I don't plan on stopping. It will just be periodic as I have limited time in-between work and other stuff
@@RiverPebbles i guessed so, but good content needs time 🫶🏻
Just would have been nice to see some nuka world content.
I will be back keep making great videos
I think you can store caps in workshops, idk how helpful that is though
To ‘get rid of caps’ maybe you could invest in vendors. Though that kinda goes against being a raider, could be handy sometime. 🤷🏻♂️
That requires a perk I believe, and I didn't have too many of those to spare. Other people have also suggested some actions to get rid of them and I think I have a few solutions for the future!
Hey man. Love the script and it feels really natural but I still feel I can see you reading that thing while I’m listening. Scripts are good yeah but I feel like what would be best for you is a bulleted list of things to talk and then just riff about those things to give your videos a more natural feel or just throw more improv type stuff so your voice doesn’t get ahead of your eyes. It’ll make it sound less like a presentation and more like a cool little tidbit vid
Its definitely going to take a little bit of time to find the proper flow with everything. Thank you for your feedback and I'm definitely trying to make it sound more natural. Bullet list may be just what I need :)
Could've sided with the nuka raiders but whatever still a great vid.
Aprooved 👍
stupid challenge when u can only loot "raider" specific locations while being a raider the word literally means u raid everywhere anywhere.
If I didn't restrict myself, it would have been almost no different from a casual run of the game.
You're gonna make it one day, i know it man. Much love to you and the future growth of your channel ❤
I appreciate that! Thank you!!! I'm growing too fast in my eyes, so I hope I can meet expectations!
First
Cool
Will subscribe if you do new Vegas
first video of yours i’ve seen, love your style and humor. keep it up, you’ll blow up in no time
I already feel like I am, and I don't know how to handle it! I appreciate that :)
Should’ve done this with Nuka world dlc
have you tried "recycleactor"? it should reset NPC. 3 scenarios could happen after this command:
1. Preston becomes friendly again and you can progress the quest.
2. Preston becomes friendly but forgets everything you did so although you are at the very end he treats you like you met him for the 1st time in the museum.
3. Preston breaks completely and it is what it is.
Indeed. I have followed plenty of internet queries on the topic. It did not seem to work, which was unfortunate. However, the main issue with the game was solved. The institute was handled and there was only a few other things that I HAD to do to "finish" the game. I feel like I proved myself by the end
by all means - yes, it's a shame Bethesda doesn't actually allow player to finish the game as a raider in Nuka, at least not to my knowledge, haven't played the DLC in a long time (4y now I believe)
Finaly i´ve been looking forward to this since the doom challenge also good job man this vid is 🔥
I appreciate that a lot. I'm glad you came back and liked what you saw
Random pop up in my recommended, absolute banger video my guy new sub!!!!!
Thank you!!! I love being a random good thing. Better than those random bad things....
Well you got a new sub homie. Keep up the great work. Cant wait to see you blow the algorithm sky hight
If that happens, I will be extremely surprised. Especially with how infrequent I am able to push out new content. However, even if I you are my last subscriber, I will be happy with what I have been able to do :)
What’s the program used for the SPECIAL and perks?
Are you talking about the mod to skip the opening section? StartMeUp Redux from Nexus mods
How do you have less then 1k subs... Easy sub. Good luck with the future remember all the subs you got now.
Dude, I have no idea. I sent my mother a text like two days ago having less than 500, and now that number has almost doubled.....I'm legitimately blown away and have no idea how this happened....
@@RiverPebbles the TH-cam gods blessed you lol
Yo, since you seem to have everything on lock, how do you think Subnautica challenge runs would do on TH-cam? Ive wanted to make them for a while now but ive never been confident about them being popular enough to warrant spending the time on it. Love the video btw!
"Seem to have everything on lock", my friend you misunderstand. I am just lucky. I have only done two challenge videos, and they have done very well for some reason. I barely know how this happened.
With that being said, I think I am the perfect specimen to give advice. That advice is....just try it. The only downside that I can see, is that people won't watch it. Yes that sucks, but if you feel accomplished and content after creating the video and completing the challenge, that's all you need. You may hit gold. There may be a massive niche you aren't aware of and you can definitely build a following on that. I'm the wrong person to ask about this, because I have no idea how this happened, but I do want to say to follow your passions. As long as you can do it while being able to pay for everything. Some people are able to succeed by just dropping everything and following their passion, but that isn't always the case.
I still work a job, I still have other things I need to do besides these videos. Yes they are fun (and I hate some of the things I have to do putting them together), but they are a passion. They don't consume my life. I still have priorities that I have to do, and these are done in my spare time.
TL;DR: Just do it. You'll never know if they will "be popular" to others or not. If you want to, and can do so, do it. You may just luck out as I have :)
@@RiverPebbles thanks man. I might do it.
I can't wait to hear how it goes :)
Man your videos are Awsome add a picture or somthing to your channel so I know who you are
Thanks! Also, I think I'ma rock the generic profile picture. At least for a while. I want to see if that will affect the amount of people who watch the video. Just a little experiment on my end, if you will
You can lose caps by simply buying stuff from traders and selling it back to them. Also u looted a drifter while leaving sanctuary, was that intended or did you just forget about the challenge?
Then you're left with weird amounts of money. I have solutions for future videos so don't sweat it! As for the "drifter", if you're referring to the person across the bridge they are a Raider. It says so in their name when you hover over their corpse
@@RiverPebblesyeah ur right about the raider thing
My brother in Christ you need a profile photo. I usually don’t click on channels that don’t have them, since it’s usually either older people or kids.
But this video was a bop man.
I got you to click on it didn't I? ;)
I am doing an experiment for a little bit, but I could add one soon
@@RiverPebbles Well yup I can say that you did get that click lol, I’m on a fallout content bing.
But you totally should bro.
U can transfer caps to containers but u cant dop them
Thank you for uploading here before you get bigger than pewds my friend
Bigger than the Pewds himself? I highly doubt it. But I appreciate your kind words friend
Shouldve used strong as a companion
Nuka world makes it so you can become a raider/raider leader I pretty sure
You are correct. I actually went through Nuka World in my Part 2 to this series. This was my first Fallout 4 video and didn't know how many people actually would watch this, so it isn't as good as I wanted it to be (most of my content could be summed up as "old man yells at magic box while playing electronic device"). However, I'm always trying to improve on my skills and be better as the weeks go on.
Thank you for watching!
Sick idea! Might do my own raider run now.
I'm glad you liked it! Don't be dumb like me and forget the explosives.
Great video just found your channel and will subscribe
I appreciate that! I hope to put out more stuff you can find joy in (not always/only Fallout content, but I do plan on doing more runs with them, in case you only want to watch those!)
Late, but why help the minutemen at all as a RAIDER?
Minutemen need settlements to continue their questline. Raiders try and take over all they can. Its not a great comparison but its how I rationalize it in my head
Great video!! You should do a part 2 going to Nuka world
That may or may not be in the works.....have to finish the aforementioned Stardew Valley video though
Do fallout New Vegas!!
Maybe don't eat the corpses of your fallen allies?
Valid reaction coming from somebody who wasn't frozen underground for hundreds of years. How about you go through that and see how good your brain works distinguishing friend from food!
I hope you enjoyed the video man!
I love this channel I hope you get more subscribers
Thank you! Those are very kind words!
You should have done the Mika world dlc that would have been cool
People keep telling me that.....I may need to...
I like how ur not using mods let’s see some skyrim stuff?
I *technically* am using mods, but only to skip the long and tedious parts of the beginning. Other than that, this was a mostly un-modded run. I can put Skyrim on the list, but I have to admit that while I have played it I have never beaten it.
this video made me subscribe, i like this channel!!
Nice!!! Well I hope you appreciate the content you see! Challenge videos like these take weeks to complete, so please be patient with me as I work on them, and check back every third Friday after the post and see if its there!
Raider Over boss time.
I'm not sure u can get rid of caps maybe can store?
I've been told I can in the workbench. I'll try that next time
dude its ok to take long if you make great content (which you do) also great mic :)
also you couldve considered porter gage in nuka world since he is a raider but i understand if you didnt want to
It just takes a while as this is a hobby and not a career, so I have to balance my job, social stuffs, life things, etc. So I try to get it all looking/sounding good and get it out when I can!
with the quality of this video sooner or later the algorithm is going to blow this channel up
I think that already happened...
nah, 1k isn't going to be the top of this, you keep making these and I'm betting in the next year or so you'll be easily over 100K min, sooner or later one of you're videos will get randomly plastered on everyone's recommended page then everyone who watches stuff like this will watch it, you'll randomly have a video with over 1 mil views and a ton of subs@@RiverPebbles
Does nuka world count, raider faction?
I have no idea, but I can always try it out
What’s the backstory of the name “River Pebbles”?
The long story is not that interesting, but the short story is brief so technically better.
I enjoy nature from time to time. I was thinking of nature names for my current online presence and landed on bodies of water. Initially I was going to have this just be my speedrun submission TH-cam channel, but I decided I wanted to make more than just that kind of content. So then we get River. Fast, always moving forward, and if I spell it like "RiviR", its a palindrome! (I just thought of that, doesn't add to backstory but something I enjoy).
The pebbles is just because I feel like I need a last name
@@RiverPebbles Cool
dude this video is great you deserve so many more subs
I never deserve more subscribers. I appreciate them all. From 5 to 55, I am so lucky that people find me enjoyable enough to give me their time in the day. Thank you so much
