This isn’t goodbye.
This is see you when I see you.
Some other place, some other time.
And I hope it’s someday soon.
Thank you for six incredible, unforgettable, crazy, amazing years.
If you ever needed a reason to unfollow or block me then here it is.
If you support what just happened then go fuck yourself. I want nothing to do with you. Get help.
You’ve got to love how I’m still somehow on of the very few content creators whose getting constant shit for calling cheats like it isn’t a catastrophic, terminal problem in the game.
My doctor was in absolute shock at how much more healthy I am compared to last year. Normal blood pressure, down 40 pounds, all muscle, happy, positive attitude.
He was all smiles the entire appointment and said he was very happy at the turn around I’ve made. He’s taken me off
Well, I figured now is a good a’ time as any to announce this!
Your boy officially has a talent agent, and I’m finally actively seeking voice acting roles as well as guest appearances as conventions, festivals and conferences!
I’m super excited for this new journey! Let’s go!
Welcome to the Field Guide - a series of tutorial videos for
#EscapefromTarkov
by Battlestate Games. In this series we will introduce newcomers to the mechanics and nuances of the game and supplement the knowledge of experienced players.
In this video we'll cover the basics:
Found out a girl at the convention had her room burglarized and her Nintendo switch stolen, so I started a fundraiser to buy her a new one and have every voice actor sign it’s box. We raised the money in less than two hours and we’re going to surprise her with it tomorrow!
13 hour workday running my own company. I’m not going to say what I made today moneywise, but it is about quadruple that of what I used to make a day in the final few years of my streaming career.
I think I might actually make it doing this. In fact, I think I might do better
I've lived in Florida for a very long time and have never had cops drive around and broadcast a mandatory evacuation. This is a first. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to go, so we're going to have to tough out this storm. Prepped and ready to go.
I feel myself getting healthier again. Physically and mentally. I walk multiple miles a day for work carrying heavy equipment. My resting heart rate is 60 again. I want to DO things again. I'm down 45 pounds. My abs show again.
I feel like me again. I feel good.
I feel HAPPY.
We’re back. That was terrifying. 40 hours of absolute stress.
Big thank you to
@DrLupo
and
@VeriitasGames
for going above and beyond for me. This wouldn’t have been possible without you.
A huge thank you to everybody else involved as well. It’s nice to feel appreciated.
Since taking a stand against this, I've been attacked in droves, targeted with archaic trademark law that's being skewed in a way to try and convince me that I don't own the rights to my own voice and that it's actually okay to steal it and make money with it. I wish I was joking
Some of the people in the tarkov community have been going over the top cloning
@realFortyOne
’s voice.
Dude pays his bills with his voice acting. He’s not getting AAA studio money and instead of throwing the guy a few bucks y’all are just poaching.
It’s shitty.
I want to extend a huge thank you to the people who have supported me and had my back during this career transition. It’s been one of the hardest feats and mental challenges I have ever undertaken, but the kind words and words of encouragement make it that much easier.
Much love
First day back power lifting after 7 years.
After being nearly bed ridden 8 months ago. After being sober for 8 months. After being tobacco free for 2 years.
I’m on my way back. Thanks for joining me for the ride.
One thing I’ve been trying to do more while improving my life and well being is just DOING MORE of things I’ve always wanted to do. So I got off work and just went to Tampa. No plans. Don’t know anyone. Just playing Pokémon GO and LIVING.
Hearing my voice in so many of these indie games in the works really has me feeling like I'm on cloud nine. I used to think I could never land a role in a single game. Now I'm in multiple and it just continues to grow.
Never give up on your dreams, no matter how hard it gets.
I am very happy to announce that as of today, my availability on Fiverr for voice acting roles is available and open for the foreseeable future!
Please like and retweet! :) So happy to be working on projects again!
Huge shoutout to
@OnepegMG
for being one of the very few who supported me during hard times, as well as hooking me up with an Arena beta key.
Apparently he’s giving out a lot more, so shoot him a DM while he still has some left!
Thanks Peg.
I'm starting my own business! This is my first time ever doing a Kickstarter, so apologies if it's a mess. Video will be below explaining this new adventure and how you can help! Please share! Thanks everyone! 😁
Exciting times ahead! So many new customers are reaching out that I'm booking quotes days in advance.
It really feels like the company is on the rise! My clients rave about my consistency, friendliness, and top-notch work. Might be time to bring on an employee very, very soon!
From being nearly bed ridden 7 months ago, I managed to walk 9 and a half miles yesterday. I’m extremely proud of myself at how quickly I am bouncing back from being in the worst mental and physical condition of my life.
Boy the cancel cult is pulling every card it has to try and destroy Palworld for plagiarism, copyright, AI, you name it.
People really have forgotten how to enjoy things and are only happy when they’re tearing something else down so it becomes just as miserable as they are. Sad.
I had such a blast gaming out in Arena last night with people that recognized my voice. It’s such a humbling experience to meet people that tell you how much they love your work and to just hear the sheer joy in their voices.
I’m so thankful to be able to do what I do.
First work week done. It was rough but I got through it. It’s bitter sweet. Very hard to convince myself I didn’t just waste the last 6 years of my life.
Gonna keep at it, though. Who knows what’s going to happen.
It was six years ago today I left my management position at a pest control and lawn company for content creation and voice acting.
What a crazy ride it’s been, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Many members of the community asked me to share my thoughts on the current Tarkov and Battlestate situation. I usually don't get involved with drama, but a lot of people wanted my input.
Video below.
How is everyone doing on Arena? No email here so don't have a clue when/if I will be able to try it.
It does look like a lot of fun, though! Hope everyone is having a blast!
Sarah has received their brand new Nintendo Switch, signed by ALL of the guests at
@AFOupdate
2023! We’re so sorry for what happened but so happy we were able to help! Game on!!
Are people actually upset at this main menu?
ITS EXACTLY WHAT A TITLE ACREEN SHOULD BE! Clean background with a LIST. I’m SICK of Netflix interfaces in games!
Normalize LISTS again!
@OnepegMG
Thank you for the support peg. It really sucks watching a genuinely creative piece of work and then hear your own voice speak things that you’ve never said before. It just tells me and other voice actors that these people don’t care about us at all.
There's something incredibly unsettling about going to Earth in Starfield and seeing it just be a barren dust ball. No atmosphere, no oxygen, zero signs of any human history. Its unnerving on a whole new level.
I completely agree with Pestily's sentiment and I want to put it more into perspective for some people who are seemingly baselessly defending this kind of behavior.
Embedding streams might seem like an innocent way to boost viewership, but in reality, it's a form of cheating in

I'll pay you $2,000 USD a week to take your,

This is why embeds should be banned. I could literally offer him a deal he would be stupid to refuse and it would be
Hey guys, I'm going to be streaming Tarkov Arena tonight for a couple hours and giving away a free copy of wave 1 entry to the game!
Link will be below! Really looking forward to seeing some familiar faces!
Sat outside a restaurant this evening and watched the sun set. Great way to reflect and think about what your next move should be.
New job is going well. Hard work that pays off.
Miss y’all.
To my mutual followers that have never met me, played games with me or done content together in any capacity, but interact with me all the time and have silly memes and shit we send each other:
Y’all the real ones.
Finally back in a GM. The company is growing every day and I really like what I do for work.
The journey has been rough. Just challenge after challenge after challenge that gets so bad at times that you’d think someone was orchestrating it all. By far the most insurmountably
I really opened up on this podcast. Laid it all out on how mentally defeating it can be to go from being successful, to losing absolutely everything in the content creation medium. It's a good honest watch for anyone looking to get into the career, and even those already in it.
Making it as a full time content creator may seem like the best gig in the world. If you make it, enjoy the ride!
@realFortyOne
's journey is the latest pod. Really want to thank him for opening up & sharing his story. Still the best voice in
#tarkovarena
For the people freaking out saying the game is “unrealistic and ruined now”, you’ve been playing these changes for a while, as they were added in like 4 or 5 patches ago. We’re merely updating the field guide and will continue to do so, so that it permanently stays relevant.
Thank you guys so much for the Fiverr commissions lately. I did not expect to wake up to all of these orders over the weekend. You really make me feel loved and appreciated. Huge thanks. 💪
Aw I didn't even realize this. It's my YouTube channels birthday!
Thank you guys so much for everything over these last few crazy years.
I know I'm a tough act to follow, but I'll get my shit together eventually and there will finally be some normalcy to my content. Promise.
Not much of a turnout after an hour, so now feels like the right time to say this:
I won’t be going live on Twitch again for the foreseeable future. It’s too painful and disheartening to try and do something 'for fun' when it was once my career.
I had some of the best years of
Gonna go live at 3:45pm EST since I FINALLY have a weekend off.
Also, new video going up on the Services channel.

@NoMansSky
Some of the greatest updates to a game in gaming history.
Has not asked for a single dollar.
Truly one of the last bastions of passionate game development we have left.
