Exactly one year ago today, I shared the struggles I was experiencing with burnout and stress in creating content for this channel, especially relating to weeks where a ton of news was happening. At the end of that post, I announced that I would be cutting my upload schedule in half for 2025.
Fast-forward to today and I can honestly say that it was absolutely the right decision. It allowed me to rest between busy periods as well as deal with personal issues, including finally upgrading my PC and server. You can absolutely expect this schedule to remain for 2026 and, very likely, beyond.
Moving on to the year itself, so many things happened throughout 2025. While I didn’t see the explosive growth of the prior year, I pushed myself to create better content than ever before.
You may have noticed that every single video uploaded this year was above a minute. That was originally a coincidence, but it very quickly became a challenge that I somehow managed to fulfill, although sometimes with difficulty. It culminated with the yearly rewind being over 10 minutes in length, a months-long project that's very quickly become my favorite yet on the channel.
Beyond that, I also got to collaborate with the LEGO Group again! I was sent the second wave of LEGO Fortnite sets, which I compared to their digital counterparts in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, as well as a personalized box celebrating the arrival of a LEGO NINJAGO content update in that same play experience.
Plus, by far my favorite moment of the year, was being included in a mod. My profile picture as well as a render of my character now make appearances in linterni Gamer’s Chaos Mod and Into The Pizzaplex mods respectively following updates to each and, after recovering from the jumpscare of seeing myself, I can’t help but feel incredibly proud.
And, finally, you may have noticed me on more than just YouTube. I started sharing my shorts and posts on platforms like TikTok and Instagram and, overall, I'm really happy with how they've been doing! Of course, YouTube remains the priority as per always, but you can still expect the same content to also appear on those websites.
Now, there are a few things that I teased in last year’s post that I never got to do: interviews with members of the community as well as livestreams. I can’t yet comment on the latter (although I am looking into it!), but you can definitely expect the former to be happening as part of a potential new series. Stay tuned for that.
Overall, I’m really happy with how this year went. It was a mix of pushing myself creatively while also staying healthy with regular breaks.
Expectedly, I’m incredibly excited for 2026, not just because of upcoming titles like LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, but also because I hope to expand the channel more than ever before.
But, as always, I want to take the time to thank you all for your continued support. I wouldn’t be able to do all of this if it wasn’t for you watching my silly videos and leaving comments for me to read rather than being productive.
Thank you so much. Here’s to another year. ❤️

2024 is the year this channel grew massively and allowed me to make a small living. It also made me burn out to the point where I'm not sure I can keep going. Let's talk about it.
Can you believe that, exactly one year ago today, the channel had just a little over 800 subscribers? Twelve months later, it now has... a few more. Over 18,000. Insane.
But that's not what I'm most proud of. My favorite part of creating content about LEGO games has been, by far, receiving messages from the developers behind them. I'm incredibly honored that this happened several times throughout the year and that I've even been able to talk to some of them directly.
And, of course, I still can't believe that I got to work with both the LEGO Group and Epic Games for LEGO Fortnite’s one-year anniversary celebration. That was my biggest video yet, with around five days of work in total, and I'm so incredibly proud of the end result.
But things haven't been all positive. In the last few months, I've been dealing with a lot of stress, to the point where it's been physically affecting my body. Now, you might think that it's entirely due to the channel’s upload schedule of daily shorts and two daily posts, but it's not. It's specifically covering breaking news that’s affected me the most.
You can easily trace my biggest struggles to whenever a lots of things were just about to happen: 810NICLE Day in August, all the spooky stuff in October and, of course, everything that's happened this month. It's a lot.
Heck, at the end of December, I outright decided to take an entire week off where I literally did nothing apart from writing this post, and I still feel completely exhausted.
So... things are gonna be changing.
Mainly, I think the channel is going to slow down in 2025. I've already cut posts in half and shorts are likely to follow. Videos are going to remain mostly the same, although I may end up taking longer to cover breaking news. It's entirely going to depend on how I feel both physically and mentally.
Don't worry, though, I do have some actually fun stuff planned as well. As you might have noticed, I've gone through most of TT Games’ catalog, so what's next? Well, during the summer, I was busy and... let's just say we'll be checking out the games that started it all.
I also hope to go beyond my typical coverage for fan games and actually work directly with the teams making them. Last month, I got a new microphone setup that I don't have to physically hold and I'd love to get to interview developers!
Other than that, well... I don't really know. I've been thinking about potentially starting to livestream or even covering some non-LEGO games that have a similar vibe, but I'm really not sure. I just hope I get to keep doing this for at least another year.
Again, thank you all so much for your support! ❤️

I feel like I've been celebrating milestones non-stop these last few weeks — I swear, I'm not complaining, just really overwhelmed — but I did want to mention that we just surpassed 5000 subscribers!
Also, I've unlocked monetization! I was thinking about enabling memberships but wasn't sure what kind of perks would be interesting. Any ideas? 🤔
Again, thank you so much for the support! ❤️

Exactly one year ago today, after seeing that Sonic Superstars was getting LEGO DLC, I decided to reactivate a channel that I had experimented with back in 2022.
Since then, so much has happened.
In the last few weeks alone, I surpassed both 2,000 subscribers and 2,000,000 total views. Plus, I had a short surpass 70,000 views and a video reach six digits territory!
But beyond all that, the best part of the year, by far, has been my interactions with developers and fellow content creators. I’ve gotten comments from devs of small fan games, well-known YouTubers and even the actual community manager at LEGO games??? It’s honestly insane.
I seriously can’t thank all of you enough for the support. ❤️ Here’s to another year! 🥳

I just wanted to take the time to thank you all for your support over the last few months.
When I launched my channel back in 2023, I had no idea how good of a year it'd be for LEGO games and, based on just two months, it's clear that 2024 is ramping up to be even better. More games and collaborations are coming out than ever before, and there's a clear interest for someone that covers them, even if they're not the biggest releases.
I have so many projects in the works (including some pretty big ones!) that I'm excited to reveal once they're ready.
Again, thank you so much for the support!!! ❤️

The end of 2023 is upon us, and as we approach 2024, I wanted to reflect on this year (or, more accurately, half-a-year) in terms of the channel.
I obviously have to start with the elephant in the room. We went from a little over 70 subscribers to nearly 800 in the span of six months. From LEGO mod showcases to experimenting with YouTube Shorts and the occasional really popular video... There’s multiple factors that led to this, but I just wanted to say that I’m eternally grateful for all the support.
But I also felt the need to talk about disappointment. My coverage of LEGO games wasn’t complete enough. I barely talked about LEGO 2K Drive or LEGO Hill Climb Adventures, and I also missed a few things. I’m really hoping I’ll be able to cover these and new arrivals a lot more in 2024.
Speaking of which, I have a lot planned for the new year, including a few series, one of which will hopefully start as early as next month. I’m also going to continue playing through TT Games’ back catalog with occasional check-ins for regularly updated games like LEGO Fortnite, LEGO Brawls and LEGO Bricktales, so you can continue to expect those.
But all that aside, thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate the support and I hope my content will keep you around in 2024.
See you next year! 🎉
