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! ❤️
