Just here to share, before I lose the ideaā¦ (cuz forgetting about this thread is easier for me than making buffalo sandwiches apparently)
This was the place where I kick-started the idea, so it only makes sense I share this milestone here and now, soā¦
We did it!!
We hit 1k subs yesterday, omg! Means maybe E&P wonāt only be this giant money pit (am I kidding? I donāt really knowā¦) and I can actually get something tangible back from it 
Feels pretty awesome, not gonna lieā¦ As six months ago? I had no clue wtf I was getting myself into, or if Iād even be received well; Iām a freaking antisocial hermit that rambles and vents far too much on screen lol who needs it?! Lol but I meanā¦ you spend over four years learning about a game, you hope that all that acquired knowledge doesnāt become entirely wasted 
Not to mention, the completely broken-a$$ way I decided to playā¦ would that even translate? Idk lol.
Whatās changedā¦
Regardless, it amazes me how far weāve (Iāve?) come in these past six months. Hell, Iām still a long way off from understanding what it takes to actually be a true YouTuber, but Iām slowly learning the ins and outs (lol ok not really, but I wanna think so). Not to mention, making these videos feels almost likeā¦ breathing now. Itās quite natural, and something I really do enjoy and look forward to (less Iām gross and smelly 
). And to think, I used to panic a lil before every taping those first couple montā¦ (Waitā¦)
Honestly, this project has helped me in a lot of other ways too. Like coping with my below average luckā¦ that used to really eat at me. Now? Wellā¦ no, it still blows, but YT has definitely helped me work thru it moreso than anything else has (well, that and having a backup game ). Not to mention, Iāve come out of my shell just a teeeeensy bit more. Also, this whole event has pushed me to explore various corners of YouTube - a place I had rarely ventured et al prior - and gotta say, a lot of great ā ā ā ā out there! Iām totally enthralled.
ā¦So thank you 
Most importantly: thank you all whoāve supported me throughout this process! Itās been a blessing, to expand my presence past just this forum, and connect with people from all over this entire gaming community 
Honestly, itās the community that holds this place together, and what keeps me playing E&P, despite my own distaste for it some days 
Without yāall, Iād have left E&P long agoā¦
Finallyā¦
Anyway, now, Iām in the process of actually figuring out how to monetize, and once thatās through, itāll finally be time 
. Firstly, I plan to make a video, or a poll, to help me decide (Iām too indecisive otherwise), and then, when YT figures out whatās going on with my acctā¦
cuz this 
aināt right:
ā¦I do plan to finally max some 5* as a mark of celebration
Oh yeah; itās on 
We bout to crush the outta this game with real-a$$ heroes, yo
ā¦n y am i so nervous 
Wow, I canāt believe this moment is actually here. Gonna be wild, but Iām glad Iām not alone in this ride anymore 
Thank you, my favorite community, for all that you do to make this place better; in the end, this game would really be nothing without you all I am eternally grateful to be apart of this community, and for this experience alone 
Hereās to another - even better - six months 
ā¦less the game finally wins the never-ending, tumultuous battle, and finally manages to push me out before thenā¦ (It tries, so hardā¦ why game, why do you hate me so?!) But really? Nah, I donāt think so
)
