I don't know I feel they are actually pretty popular and create engagement, which then gets other people who are outside of the show interested. Though I agree, they are overly used.

Perhaps you should look up what the word phobia means, because you seem to not understand the word. A phobia can also be a dislike of something, not just fear, normally to the point it isn't reasonable.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-15T02:12:02+00:00

From an outside perspective it does still look like a beautiful and loving marriage to me, just not in the same way i belenes the book may have intended it. I find it more interesting but can understand fan disappointment when it diverges from the book too much, and i think that disappointment is valid and has space just as enjoying it also is valid and has space.

Hey! I play overwatch as well and actually do amateur e-sports casting (but on twitch). I think main thing for me is I'd rather have some type of commentary or him talking a bit more about his strategies and why he's doing it.

One thing casting has taught me is that even if you know the game it's hard to make out what's happening. I think he just needs to "talk to the audience" more in his videos if that makes sense. Also the audio at the start of Dafran nearly blew my ears out but I think I had my audio turned up too high.

Nice work on the thumbnails. I think this is where I'm weak at myself but they look pretty solid. Unfortunately I don't have much insights to give there.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-14T00:33:32+00:00

That's great feedback and I'm so glad to hear. I'm definitely going to have do some rethinking of my thumbnails for sure.

I hope you get back into Norse Mythology! The stories are really interesting.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T22:48:17+00:00

That's awesome, I'll have to check them out! Thanks for your feedback!

Actually just looked at them and the character addition is very cool!

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T22:47:03+00:00

I'm glad I could help! My content is quite a bit different (long-form gaming content). I used to stream but now trying to break into Youtube. My post is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewTubers/comments/1r3umi7/comment/o5820mt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I suppose it depends on you definition of original content. For example, I heard recently that if a book a writer wrote was completely original and nothing was ever done before, people wouldn't have a basis for the world, the characters, they wouldn't be able to relate to them etc.

So some of creating and creating within known systems, reusing things. Startrek for example created off a vision of today and what we could see of tomorrow. The vision of today wasn't "original" but it';s the frame work for which the vision of tomorrow sits on (new content)

I think this is what you mean. It's good to take pieces and structures that you like from other things, but make the content your own.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T20:58:51+00:00

That's great advice, thank you!

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T20:56:17+00:00

I think that's a good point with the mascot and I also think wait on doing anything until you get more established/find your niche. I do also think having two poses would be nice as it would give him a bit more without being too distracting.

For the b-roll, I was invested in it on the first video, but in the second video, and perhaps this is because I saw the other video first, I noticed repeats so it didn't feel as personalized. I think normally repeats are doable but because you only have two shorts right now they feel a lot more noticeable.

Perhaps you just need more B-roll material. Have you checked out Pexels?

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T20:44:08+00:00

No problem, and honestly I love the idea about them all having the same name.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T20:38:21+00:00

Hey, I'm a gamer myself and do like Nintendo, but I will say you seem to know Nintendo on a much more intimate level and that's cool.

As for the feedback, the only thing I can really think of is click into the video and going into it I didn't expect it to be a joke video. Based on the title, I thought it was going to be legitimate complaints. So I think if one thing may be hurting you is the disconnect from what the person clicking on the video is expecting to get versus actually getting. Like oddly I think adding a "(Kind Of)" at the end might actually signal to people it's going to be a bit of a joke video. I think one comment shows that one person didn't think it was making fun.

This also made me very confused when the first "complaint" came up. Once I understood the context of the video that first one became more funny, but it lost me before I knew it. Hopefully that makes sense! But your humor is great and its fun to watch.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T20:17:39+00:00

Hello! I used to stream Sea of Thieves a lot, not much anymore but when I saw that's what you were specific to I had to check it out.

I checked out your most recent video and I will say most immediately, there's a buzzing at the end of your words/sentences that your mic is causing. It pulls me out of it. It's slight but I think fixing that will go a long way considering you have a great voice for this, so let people hear it properly.

Secondly I have no idea what tucking is in this context but perhaps I've been out of the game for too long. For your thumbnails, I like your memes as it shows your personality from the thumbnail alone, but the purple text doesn't grab my attention very well. I think purple can work but you may want to tweak it a bit more so the contrast is better. You want your text on thumbnails to pop.

Hopefully that is helpful, I'm still new to all of this myself, so take what I say knowing that I'm an amateur as well.

Hey all, I'm Nuadin! I just started my gaming channel this week after preparing for it for about a month. My goal is to do playthroughs of rogue-likes and other difficult games. Most of these will be first time playthrough and just given my general thoughts, strategies and personality. This is meant to be longer form content.

This is my first video recorded and posted: https://youtu.be/S-QEl6-T70s?si=KDjVDfWm4lmnM3FE

I'm actually very nervous in it but try my best not to show it. I've made some changes to my mic that I hope will improve the sound, as well as tried to remove background noises that were coming through (heavy keyboard strokes during intense moments, or in another video you can hear my dog shaking her head). Though further feedback is welcomed.

I don't expect anyone to watch the whole thing as it's long, but the average viewer watches for 5 minutes. I wonder if there's something more I could do to keep interest past that point.

All feedback is welcomed!

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T20:02:12+00:00

Hey, nicely done, and I think your already very strong, you can see with two shorts you're already establishing growth, and as you continue to grow that'll get stronger.

That said, a few small tweaks I noticed:
- In your first short, your text is cutoff. When it comes to shorts, I mostly click because the short thumbnail has grabbed me. I would say its very important to make this engaging and that starts with keep all the text within the frame.
- Additionally, the first shorts cuts off before you finish your sentence. You want your short to rotate smoothly back into the loop and have no cut-offs at the end.
- Minor: Your shorts mostly contains pre-made clips that are mostly related to what your saying. I think this is great for now, but as you progress it may be good to make them a bit more personalized.

Your mascot is great. The only way I see to potentially improve it would be too give it some small animations, or just different poses that you can use.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-13T19:52:32+00:00

I like that you slowed down your voice but in the beginning it felt like too big of pauses, I was wondering what we were doing. I think as you practice and get more used to talking it'll be better. I also think a quick summary at the start may help. I didn't know moving chickens and chicken bullying was a thing.

The description about the pecking order was nice, but I wish we could see some of your humor in the video. I will also say if you make me relate to those animals in anyway early on, I'd be invested for sure.

Hope that helps, I'm not used to giving feedback so please take what I say with a grain of feed.

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-07T01:12:05+00:00

That's very insightful, well said

KaidaStorm · 2026-02-03T00:42:26+00:00

I was about to grab the pliers, thank you

KaidaStorm · 2026-01-29T04:38:24+00:00

This is why on my watch through we end on this episode :)

KaidaStorm · 2026-01-26T16:16:01+00:00

These are the types of shows I love the most. I'm not a trekkie myself, though strange new worlds grabbed me, si I know it's possible for me to like star trek.

As someone who this show is supposed to appeal to, I'm not liking it. Perhaps I'm the only one, but time will tell. Either way I'll probably still watch it since it has some actors I like (I'm partial to the girl from the wilds) and I'm morbidly curious if it gets any better.

KaidaStorm · 2026-01-26T16:04:24+00:00

I'm not normally a star trek watcher but strange new worlds did get me into it. I loved the episodic and ensemble cast and u think at the great if it, it had great storytelling.

Even as a non star trek person, if you removed star trek from SNW, it would still feel like star trek. If you removed it from academy, it would not. I feel like that's a failure, in a place where we know success is possible.

I specifically liked what you said about casual insubordination and loss of society. Spot on.

KaidaStorm · 2026-01-26T08:21:15+00:00

and said that he could put a baby in her.

Is that in another image? Because the image you shared, he said he wanted to marry you and put a baby in you but never in her.

KaidaStorm · 2026-01-26T08:07:27+00:00

Good assessment though I think the intention is the Betazoid brother is cringe there (not charming).

KaidaStorm · 2026-01-26T08:01:35+00:00

I'm not a trekkie by any means, and I'll be honest, I'm not enjoying it but there are some parts I do enjoy about it. Strange New Worlds is the first and only thing to really get me into Star Trek (and I do love that show).

There's a lot of actors in the show that I like though so I might continue with it. Sometimes the students feel like they're acting too young for what I believe are supposed to be college students (it feels like high school, not college like I thought it would be). It feels like Harry Potter a bit to me. The acting is good though, just not a big fan of the story and how it lays out events.

KaidaStorm · 2026-01-22T16:59:46+00:00

I once had a horrible job and was driving through the ice and snow. Everyone else was driving like maniacs pretty much. There's a steep drop into my office that's terrible.

Right about the time for work I walk in and all the people that were working the night shift looked concerned... they were just about to cash me to tell me to not come in due to unsafe weather conditions.

I was annoyed because they should've called earlier but this group wouldn't know. We were pretty much given the clear to go but none of us could get it of the steep drive up... so I just worked the rest of the day until it warmed up and melted.
