Just wanted to say thanks for the immense patience thus far. I know it's just some shitty Rust videos, things shouldn't take this long. But these past few months I've been seeing great personal growth. I'm content to have lost this time in order to learn the things I've learnt.
Hi guys. It's been a while, I hope everyone's doing okay in these trying times.
It's been a hectic year, but I'm happy to say I'm doing really well. In the coming weeks, I'll have some more things to share.
Thank you for everything so far.
We are Family.
I'm a very private person and I've had to take time away.
Your comments/messages have not fallen on deaf ears. They're a big part of what keeps me going and I can't thank you enough. I am working through this. When I return content will be, as always, the best it can possibly be
To be clear lads, I'm going to do this right. It will probably be a bit of a bumpy ride in the beginning, but I have to finish what I started. There's an untold legend that needs to be seen. I hope to be seeing you soon™.
If there's anything this last season of Game of Thrones has taught us, it's that taking a year off doesn't automatically guarantee quality.
I'm so screwed lmao.
So I've been working on a side project that I didn't expect to be ready before the big return.
But, upon it's completion, I'm so glad that it is. I got to be reminded what it feels like to be satisfied with creating something. I miss it, and you, dearly.
In the last few months I’ve been plagued with self-doubt on whether I can actually pull it off and live up to the Ramsey thats expected. Having disconnected myself for so long, it’s been difficult to find my footing again, creatively. I felt really stuck.
Update: Video's taking a really long time. Not sure if I'm just out of the rhythm, but the runtime will be very long.
I've also been working on discord & twitch stuff, I'm doing another stream in ~9 hrs to hang out & chat about everything.
I'll be back strong, in time.
<3.
Happy 2021 lads.
Constantly overwhelmed by the love, and I'm super excited to be moving forward in this creative journey.
As stated, it's going to be a few weeks, but in <10 hrs I'll be live on twitch to chill and discuss, if that interests you.
Otherwise I'll see you soon.
I should not upload more often!
jk.
Thanks a lot guys, and I really appreciate your patience during this time. I have a lot going on and I'm working on a string of content. I hope the wait is worth it. <3

Still going. Biggest hurdle of late has been time, regularly finding as little as 1-2 days per week to work on Ramsey. There's an overall plan, but need to close out other life chapters. Update video was incredibly premature (obv.) and that's my fault. Not giving up.
Though it’s just a small thing, I honestly didn’t quite expect this response from viewers & fellow creators. It’s a bit overwhelming.
So, thank you. Feels strange to be looking forward to things again.
And oh, Big Dreams got accepted. Thanks

Just an update to say I'm doing okay and I'm working to get myself out of this cycle. The past 6 months have gone incredibly fast, lots of things have shifted in my life—good and bad.
Thank you for this seemingly unconditional patience, the content dividends are coming.
Man, I know this gets said a lot, but reading all the responses/comments from my update tweet, I truly am blessed with such exhilarating support. Just want to thank you guys once again. <3
Thank you to all who stopped by the Bob Ross stream.
So great to hang out, was a lot of fun. Looking forward to doing more of these types of things down the track. I may do another leading up to this video if it ends up taking too long.
Much love, see you soon.
Thank you for the incredible support on my latest video. I can barely keep up with reading all the comments. Your support means so much to me. Part 2 is coming real soon, but it's probably going to be another 30 minuter. I will take the extra time where necessary. <3 you all.
Big Dreams was just a silly idea that kept sticking with me among this, & I decided to just do it. Turns out, it was what I needed. It was an incredible joy to throw myself into a creative project again with far lower self-imposed pressures.
@exenoxx
was a delight to work with.
I love you guys.
I've been working through a few things. The conclusion is coming very, very soon, along with a proper reboot of content and schedule. In the meantime I'll be tuning this the best possible video I can create. No more silence. I will return.
I'm smashing the grind lads. I've had a couple things put me behind, mainly being I've been a bit sick, turning my voice into a jar of nails when I needed to record narration. But I'm working as efficiently as possible to get this out by the weekend. Stay tuned.
Sup, I will be participating in Trust in Rust 4, and will be streaming along with it. I'm aiming to be live just under an hour or so before the event starts, which is 4pm EST on Jan 15th (8am AEST on Jan 16th).

Aww man, I'm almost there guys. I'm close, was planning tomorrow morning but I think I need a bit more time. It's a different kind of video, a bit more in depth in a way. But I'll say no more, it'll be worth it, I hope.
Now this doesn't mean that every video will be a big boi 30+ minuter, but that when the time comes, the juiciest footage especially will get the treatment it deserves. I can't say when the next video will release just yet, but it's deep in the oven. Love you guys.
Just wanted to say thanks again for all the responses on the latest video. It's taking longer and longer to read them all, but I'll continue to do so while I still can, and I really appreciate it.
I'm proving to be continuously shit with ETA's.
I'm sorry that my twitter is a constant source of disappointment.
Video is 100% coming this weekend. More to folllow.
I'm working on improving my situation so I can really give this channel my all in 2018.
Thanks for your patience.
I've had some problems in my personal life, and it pains me to let you down. I should've been more transparent but I didnt want to tweet out another date and miss it. Nonetheless my communication has been garbage and I apologize. But videos talk, and bullshit walks. Sunday, 7am.
20k likes is pretty astounding. I'm really glad these last 2 videos have done so well with their length. I previously had a 20-25 minute maximum in my head and it was sometimes pretty limiting. Now I feel I'll take whatever runtime necessary to tell definitive stories.
Merry Christmas everyone! Stay safe, and cherish the time spent with your family. Not everyone has this luxury. Next video is planned for this coming weekend. <3
I am in the constant dilemma of videos taking a long time because it's been a long time since the previous, but a long time passes since the previous because I keep taking that time to get it right. I need to close that gap, and not be so hard on myself with the quality.
It's done. It's rendering. I'm utterly exhausted. Toughest edit yet, but it was worth it. It's probably going to be later than 7am because Australia but I'll keep you posted.
Unfortunately the video will not be out this weekend. Holiday stuff + I did some unexpected recording. I have to strike while the iron is hot when it comes to Rust footage. I am aiming for a midweek release, but again will delay if necessary for quality. Thanks for your patience!
Ugh, I'm gonna have to delay this video again. It's so huge and I've had to deal with some things along the way. 100% will release this weekend, with Saturday at 7am ACDT as the goal (will push to Sunday if necessary, but I doubt I'll need it.) Appreciate your patience!
Thanks for all the chair suggestions! My back will thank you.
Next video is coming out this Wednesday, 7am. ACDT. It's also a biggie and time has served it well.
I'd also like to talk about and tease the following video after that, but let's just see what the week brings us..
I will be taking the extra day for this video. It is definitely my longest yet by a considerable margin. Apologies, it's my fault for overestimating release times but I won't apologize for taking extra time for quality. Sunday, 7am, ACDT.
As much as I really want to, I won't be embracing the red cloak this year. Now more than ever Rust is a huge commitment of time, and my focus is to finish up the planned videos. My Santa mask isn't even a default BP, and when you do get established, servers crash and get ddossed.
Thinking about getting into editing? There's no better time to start. I use Sony Vegas, and it's in this bundle for literally $20. It's $400 software. And it goes to charity.
Can anyone recommend a really good desk chair? I've been sitting on the same shitty chair for a year and it's ruining my back. I'm talking some serious comfort for extended sessions. The agitation is palpable.
