resident lore birbo

Exactly, like it's so disheartening :( I don't want to to get too deep into this, unless i want to get really upset, but it's actually so bad how much shit she has to put up with always. Out of anyone ever, she has the most right to complain, and yet she barely does because she feels bad about it

Like, even as a viewer, as you've said, it's so frustrating, and it might seem like it's pointless to get mad on her behalf, but it just gets to a point, man. I don't get how casually they make youtube content the priority, while constantly ruining her streaming content. She is always fighting tooth and nail, putting in so much time, sacrificing her personal time and more for all of this, and yet she never does get the credit she deserves because she's always taken for granted :/ (and obviously when she stops logging on, things just die)

She was already panicking and stressing in general, the subathon was already draining in the first place. And I do not blame her in the slightest for ending stream, I honestly wouldn't even blame her if she doesn't finish the subathon and never logs on for lsw again.

Like you can always make a different video bro, I don't know. This has been as issue since forever, and I'm honestly so proud of her for managing to keep all this up for so long. And this is all coming from someone who obviously only ever experience it second hand, but it just sucks so bad, and I can't imagine all the stress and pressure she is under constantly to keep everything running.

Not a single other person on this server can say that they have put half as much effort into their time on the server, and I really don't want to put down any members, but it's true. There's a reason she always has the most playtime, and it's not spent afk.

Like,, I don't know. There are 50+ guests in this event, and it had to be her and her base? I get, and I understand why she always gets the short end of the stick: it's because they know that she will always power through it all, but it's so horrible to have to see her suffer because of it, time and time again. And it really just seems like,, no one cares. And even those that do, just don't really do much about it.

First of all, we NEED to kill yungyx with hammers. And maybe even lettucek, that crashing the levels reunion plan sucked.

(word vomit ->)

Lifesteal world really is a place huh

YUNGWILLX BANNER FANART FINALLY DONE!!

I'm never going to say that people have to adapt to her playstyle, or that they should be pulling three consecutive all nighters every week. S7 was just also structured poorly, it was lowkey kinda doomed from the start, but I think that's okay. Not every season can be the greatest hit the world has ever seen, not every season has to change the entire genre or smth

I did like their retelling of like s3, how their videos and story arcs used to be built up. It was an interesting approach, that I do kind of feel s7 lacked in a way. People like Jumper, Mapicc, Yungy, etc, who pumped out some insanely great videos this season, all felt so much more isolated. In a way, they feel more akin to standalone videos, than a apart of a larger server? This is something that Redd and Zam were discussing, and I guess I've never really wondered much about it before, how s3 videos moreso told a greater story just from several different views and such (they brought up the trapping rekrap saga, and I mean! Yeah!)

All and all, it's burnout more than anything that causes all this inactivity. People are also branching out, playing on different servers, finding different content mediums. Inactivity has been an issue since forever on Lifesteal, and while I can not speak much on it seeing as I am fairly newgen, you can hear them talk about it vods too, musing about the lack of activity. S4 had an inactivity issue for so long too, and yet! It's the most memorable season!

I understand that people get really deep into doomerism when the server is "falling apart", there's nothing happening, etc. But I do have so much hope for the future, and so do the members. With the changes behind the scenes, the new adds, I know they all want it more than anything for the server to thrive.

I think it's more than okay for Zam to feel the way she did about acivity, really, if anyone, it's her that deserves to. Even if she stops playing all together right this instant, I will forever hold that belief. She is dedicated, and I personally think it's not a sin for her to hope that people engage with her plans meaningfully, that they log on, that she complains about things once in a while.

She brought it up on the podcast too, and beforehand too, that she felt so bad for saying all those things to her friends. Lke the talk with Pangi, that her way of playing is more meaningful. But she doesn't believe that, not one bit! It is a facade that is meant to be dismantled by the viewer unfortunately, with the PZE too (which sparked the empires talk) all she wanted was people to oppose her. She needed to make sure people are pissed at her, and will attack her. It was obviously meant to be a Void arc type of thing, which in this case, they all kind of,, lost, but I will not get into it. I am not here to bash on anyone

This is another great point which was brought up: it takes so much effort to make content on Lifesteal, as opposed to other, more simple and less time consuming ideas. It ties into what I mentioned above, that people are discovering new things, and are exploring the path of their content.

I talk a lot about content here, and they did too, to be fair. It is so integral to know that Lifesteal was originally meant to be a content group, which as time went on, grew closer. And I am not saying that them forming friendships is ohhhhh runining the server!! Not at all, it just requires a different approach than before, but is also produces way different results. Results, that often don't work when you're trying to get a similiar youtube video to your previous ones

I have nearly 10 sketch book pages worth of art of this guy, squeezing bro in my top 3 favorite Minecraft streamers lowk

What a fucking horrible way to start the day.
