Hi Joe. I really enjoyed watching your own twitch streams of Dota and the weekly ones you did with Daf. It was a surprise to me when it suddenly stopped without notice. I'm so glad you put this out as it answers a lot of questions. I know exactly how you feel when you were describing about how whether this is something you actually want to do when you reach the "dream" in terms of the day to day. I'm pleased you have the clarity and mindset to take a step back and reflect on all of this. Good luck with what ever is next. Your editing is brilliant!
These videos fulfil me to watch. The high quality you put in the edit and the way you position cameras for shots truly makes me enjoy watching so thank you.
thank you, the edit process for me is a way of un spaghettiafing my thoughts hah :)
I love the editing style. Of all your vlogs I think this is my favorite (ignoring the carbonara one)
I've not related to a video so much in a while! For a long time I believed I wanted to achieve a certain goal, and now that I've done it... I've realised that maybe it isn't all I thought it would be. So now I just go day by day, not looking too far into the future. Like you said, we've got time.
(I don't usually comment on videos, but I hope my comment helps the algorithm :)
as a fellow non commenter I really appreciate it, hope you figure out your life goals too :))
Hey Joe,
Not an avid commenter but i try to pop by your streams every now and again to drop my prime sub. Just wanted to leave a comment to say it's incredible how much energy and thought you put into every video like this. Love your content dude, and hope you find what's right for you to do in life.
I'm kinda going through a similar situation at the moment. Coming to terms that the life I think I want is incompatible with a lot of aspects of the life I live at the moment. I'm taking baby steps towards a new life, trying it out before fully committing. I understand that I need to make some changes, otherwise I'll just stagnate through the rest of my 20s; and your honest content is like a boost to keep me going.
I hope you appreciate that your DOTA content has helped a lot of people like me, even if you decide it's time to leave it behind or take a break. Ultimately, it's your decision to make and I trust that you'll make the best one for yourself.
Thank you, Joe. This makes me realise that I'd benefit from asking myself what the next dream is more often, instead of just what I need to do right now to keep my head above water. I'll try to work out what the day-to-day I want is. Appreciate the beautiful storytelling in the video!
Chatgpt gives me the icks.
With that said, I hope scrub dota continues/eventually returns, it's one of the few dota related contents I actually enjoy watching. Wishing you all the best with whatever you choose to pursue next.
Man, im having the biggest trouble finding what my passion is, and seeing this video made me at ease that even if you know what you want it doesnt always matter.
im always feeling that I'm just not as passionate as other people for almost anything so I feel ya
Such a well made video, a beautiful message as well.
haven't seen a video in a while, now this pops up on my feed while I'm going through a burn out. Love it keep up the beautiful videos
You got me into dota and i really feel the love hate relationship with the game. You are such a talented editor whatever you chose to do will be great. Its good to just chill
fantastic video. magnificent editing
Would love to know more about your time currently, after losing a passion and maybe in search of a new one. What helps calm your mind or do you still stress, stuff like that. Curious about it since I've been struggling kind of with similar thoughts; what do I want my day to day to look like, what do I want to do. It's confusing, scary and also very frustrating at times. Your videos usually help with a moment of calmth and reflection, so thanks for that. :)
Great vid. I personally have suffered from turning my passion into work and then completely burning out because it stopped being fun, then not knowing what I'd want next. Turns out, the things you really love doing, shouldn't become things you have to do because that's the thing that pays the bills, even when it's just too much to handle.
I guess being a jack of all trades in that sense might actually work best, although it takes a lot to keep that many balls in the air i guess. You're right though, there is plenty of time to figure that out :)
I'll always be a big fan, can't wait for your next arc❤
This video just feel-sniped me. I'm a software dev, and since school, I wanted to become one. I'm still on my bachelors degree, but I work a full-time job as a dev. I'm already kinda tired of it, not even 5 years in. Your situation is very different, but the video still kinda spoke to me. I rushed for this career, but now I don't feel like this is what I want to do for the next 40+ years of my life.
Figuring out life is pretty hard.
Damn, this made me reflect! Lol. Great vid as always
Playing dota for 15 years now. I quit because it gave me anxiety playing an hour every game only to end up losing. Nice video btw
I can't believe you were in my city (Edinburgh)! I hope you fell in love it with even though your life is changing!
i miss edinburgh. glasgow's been nice and all the last few years but i wish i could go baaaack. tho now i have a pup, stayed in edinburgh the last couple years with my brother in an airbnb and did not enjoy the stairs to take him out every morning XD
I like the video
Well, it's kinda sad that you had to kill your dream, but it seems like the future is brighter!
I'm just sad we didn't get any more Match Making episodes, I think you were on to something there
Take it slow Joe, it's fine
Same
I think if DOTA still had the atmosphere it did from 2013-2018, I'd want to pursue it. But that recent TI it... just didn't have the magic anymore. Even though the game is still great, and the updates are nice, some subtle thing about it has signaled to me that it's not loved anymore by Valve. The reduced prize pool was one thing, but the magic and flair that this was a special community was gone from this TI. Pyrion didn't have his late night show to decompress, silly caster/player sketches were gone, True Sight not coming back. Which was sad, as TI was a sport that showed me I didn't dislike watching sports, it's just that most sports watching was too much about bravado/seriousness and not enough about being goofy. The community aspect just wasn't there this TI it was instead just another run-of-the mill sports tournament (with some exhausting cases of trash-talk drama), where it was hard to get invested in the players nor properly feel the stakes of even the finals despite some of the highest level DOTA being played.
And though toxicity was always a problem in the game, it disturbs me how normalised it is now. I love my DOTA games when I'm either a) finding myself in a good flow state, it's not about being the best but about seeing what my best is in the moment even in losing games or b) having a fun, friendly supportive atmosphere with friends. I don't play to style on people, nor do I think it's a good or nice thing to put people into a negative state just so they play worse or to rub in a victory. Some folk say that's just sports in general like hockey/basketball but I think trash-talk is a crap thing there too. The win or lose games I've had with no trash-talk have always been far better than those with it win or lose.
I am enjoying Deadlock, it's clear the love and willingness to experiment has moved there, but the community side of it isn't speaking to me the way DOTA used to. And being around games in general, as a dream career, it's tough because the major demographic is still very much 18-35 male and it makes me feel uneasy that it seems I'm not taking people on a journey with me but always having to re-target that demographic for revenue. Making videos or articles talking about games or heck even making them it does feel more lonely the older I get (and developing more greys), because whilst my sense of wonderment is still there, but more of my peers have completely exited the space to go do very run of the mill but well paying careers. TV or film you can play around more and still be profitable, though the 18-35 demographic of men and women is still the main one for revenue it's possible to pitch shows for a multitude of ages and have a well-paying career at the end of it.
Interested what you'll do next, and where your passion will be if it's related to your work or not. It's also interesting to me that you talk about DOTA casting as once your dream career, because I think for many young folk getting to work at the Yogscast itself and build up with them to be a TH-cam name is something of a dream to many and I don't think I've ever heard you talk about it like that, it seems like it was more a video editing job with a stable wage to you.
I've been a fan of yours for a really long time and I usually love these artsy vlog updates you do but honestly I'm quite disappointed by your use of AI in this video. I'm sure there's some artistic commentary to be had about its inclusion or you've found it useful in making decisions like with casting but I don't understand how you can justify using a tool that both kills our planet and steals from other artists and writers to regurgitate a whole lot of half-advice mush you could've gotten just by talking to a real person. What I've always loved about your stuff is what you have to say and the way you say it, so I sincerely hope AI won't become a recurring feature. Regardless, I loved everything else about this video, it's always good to hear and see what you're up to and you're definitely talking about some relatable stuff :) all the best to you joe
Yeah the AI segment was cringe. Message was good nonetheless.
