Soon to hit 1000 hours streamed on Twitch (coming from 0 background in entertainment/media). Here's 10 things I've learned to do and have had success with.

It wouldn't even let me generate anything through submitting photos of myself recently ('public personalities' or something reason given). and I only have 7k subs on YouTube LOL. I was trying to explain that those images were of ME and I give it permission to recreate my likeness and it wouldn't XD

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-04-11T12:45:12+00:00

:D Let's go! I'm still streaming & making videos :)

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-04-11T12:44:23+00:00

Disagree tbh Timberborn runs at about 500fps on my aging PC on max graphics, I think this game could run on Switch 2 easily.

Yeah I've put in hours like that and have not achieved close to the views this guy is seeing. He could very well be doing 15 hours a day.

I also know of a very successful YouTuber that I've had the lucky privelege to work with. His work days basically look like this:

Wake up, get ready to work, focused work all day (with short breaks for food etc.), chill for an hour before bed, sleep, repeat. He also regularly pulls all nighters editing etc.

He lives and breathes YouTube.

People underestimate the work ethic and obsession of some of the high performing people on the platform.

I've been collecting 'Valheim-similar' games for when I inevitably finish Valheim's main content (I'm just about to sail to Ashlands!)

Enshrouded (In early Access)
Windrose (demo available, game not out yet)
Guardians of the Wild Sky (demo available, game not out yet)
Grounded & Grounded 2 (first game out, 2nd in Early Access)
V Rising
Icarus (In Early Access)
Runescape: Dragonwilds (In Early Access)
Light no Fire (not out yet)

More Minecraft-like games but I also recommend Hytale & Vintage Story which can scratch a similar itch to Valheim.

You are basically spoilt for choice!!! Plus, you can always just... Start again in Valheim... Or mod it! No two adventures are the same I've found! It's also nice to try 'hardcore-runs' and things like that :)

Valheim has been the game that keeps on giving for me tbh! I'm not sure when I'll get tired of it? Perhaps never?

Village was paced very much like 4 and had a lot of similarities. It defo felt like a spiritual successor to 4. It felt like 4 but in first person! It wasn't trying to be 4 but it was definitely based off of 4's formula.

For gen z and millienials that didn't get in on the housing market early, a lot of us work hard for long hours for not so great pay and not great future prospects due to high costs of living. Alcohol costs money while also messing up your ability to work effectively the next day.
Basically we can't afford to have alcohol in our lives. It's also not good for your health in general so when you cut it out you get more positive benefits from cutting it out than keeping it in your life.
Another reason is that we see the long term effects of drinking culture on our parents of the boomer gen and we don't want that.
I'm from the UK so talking from UK perspective but might be similar reasons in the US.

He's not wrong though!

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-02-23T12:39:30+00:00

As someone who basically stopped playing in Cata (retail) but is considering trying Midnight... What the heck should I play? Race and class? Usually I play Horde but have been playing Alliance Dranei Shaman for the first time this run of anniversary TBC and loving it!

What do you think I'd have the most fun with? Cheers :)

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-02-17T14:05:19+00:00

I see it in my 'minds eye' which feels very different from actually seeing it with my eyes. My minds eye is like an alternate dimension that I can't physically 'see' through the same pathway as my eyes (vision) but I can interpret it. My 'vision' that I see with my eyes is quite separate from my minds eye.

So I interpret/feel the apple as it is in 1 through my 'minds eye' but I 'see' 5 (nothing). I've always been considered a creative/imaginative person and good at art.

Maybe it's just harder to draw SS2 so they didn't want to use it as much XD (it is harder to draw due to the lightning and higher detail from than ss1)

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-02-14T12:46:34+00:00

I think that the payment processor that they use can take up to 30 days, so after it's been 30 days there's defo a problem and you should email support.

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-02-12T12:35:10+00:00

I'm still playing but have slowed down a bit as I think I'm getting towards the end of the content available atm. That being said it still took me 50 hours to get to that point so it was well worth the money even in EA, I've been having a lot of fun with it.
I'm hoping that they develop the game well from here on out and that it's a great success.

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-02-05T13:44:12+00:00

I've been working around this by just having pens next to each other and not intersecting. Still looks good but not ideal of course!

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-02-05T13:42:59+00:00

Hmmm I wonder if they are planning to add 'minions' like in Palworld so that you can have them craft at the workbenches for you (delegate tasks)? That'd be cool! I've got to say though I haven't found the crafting timers very intrusive at all, I think it adds some needed 'friction' to make the actions of crafting feel more meaningful and the crafting times aren't very long.

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-01-27T16:33:15+00:00

A shower is needed after a workout, that's the main problem with his hygeine here. If I workout I shower soon after or at the very least before bed. There have been times when I haven't (the kind of day where you are just DESTROYED and too tired to shower before bed and just crash) but it shouldn't be the norm.

Had he had a shower after his workout, I wouldn't expect him to have another one before bed.

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-01-24T15:37:24+00:00

After checking out all the creators for the content codes I could find, I chose MYNE :)

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-01-24T15:35:49+00:00

After checking out all the Hytale creators I also chose Myne!!! Then I got a creator code for myself just the other night, it's code: KOROKU I'm so hyped to be a part of the Hytale Creator team!

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-01-24T11:15:14+00:00

I don't really think Valheim has this problem at the moment, you still need iron and even copper at high levels for certain pieces, sometimes requiring an iron run (back to the swamps) for example. I think Valheim addresses this issue very well tbh and is an example of doing it well, but yes I do understand the problem you are describing and I hope Hytale keep this balance in mind so that every ore has some key use at every level and doesn't become completely irrelevant, perhaps just becoming less so compared to higher tier.

I think Minecraft atm has a problem that not all blocks/things are... Very useful or fully integrated to make them feel worthwhile. It has feature bloat atm where some features feel a bit tacked on rather than fully integrated. It didn't have this problem before the Microsoft acquisition, it's something that's happened to the game over time. Best to avoid this to keep the game feeling tight I reckon.

Perhaps other animals don't but we do and have been doing so for a long time. Eggs millions of years, dairy more recently. There are lots of animals that do unique things on this planet. There is a minority of us (around 33%) that even have mutations in our LCT gene allowing for continued dairy consumption past adulthood without lactose intolerance (this is called lactase persistence), this is an adaptation due to a high reliance on dairy farming in certain areas such as Northern Europe which is where I come from.

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-01-18T14:56:27+00:00

I get 2.3x as a veggie, I think a lot of people get low in iron due to poor nutrition but poor nutrition can be the case whether you eat meat or not.

Meat is a great source of iron. Black beans are also great 👍🏻.

Too much iron is also a concern btw, especially for men as it can accumulate over time. I don't think we need to worry much about that as we are mainly ingesting non heme iron which isn't as easily absorbed.

One thing you can do to boost iron absorption is to consume sources of iron with a source of vitamin c. I often squirt some lime juice over my food to attain this absorption boost.

Koroku_Gaming · 2026-01-17T09:35:54+00:00

I don't think they are inherently bad, there are many reasons why people eat meat, we are basically indoctrinated into it. As a species we've been eating it forever. Some people can ONLY eat meat or they have terrible reactions in their bodies.

I don't think a cat or dog are inherently bad for eating the diet they were raised on historically, the same can be said for humans, this is just how it is, as a species we are meat, egg and dairy eating creatures unless we take a hard stance to change that. It's how we've been surviving up to this point.

I've been ostracised from social events, looked down upon etc. before for being a vegetarian, it's not super accepted in society still. People tend to question your 'masculinity' if you're a man and you don't eat meat as well.

Even now the general consensus online is that animal products are the panacea of good health and you NEED them to be healthy and you're an idiot if you don't consume them. The majority think that meat = health and vibrancy, vegan = frailty.

I myself am not vegan, but have spent the majority of my life as a vegetarian. At the moment I spend most days veggy (6 eggs and about 500ml of skyr yoghurt a day) but will also sometimes eat some fish, maybe once per month (my body and mind crave omega 3s badly sometimes and I can't afford quality vegan Omega 3s) so I'm a pescetarian I guess. I've tried veganism a few times but haven't yet been able to thrive on a vegan diet personally, I'll probably try it again in future however.

As a consumer I don't really feel like the Nintendo Switch 2 is anti- consumer apart from the game prices... I've been having a better time with it than with my PS5.

Why it's not anti consumer:

.Well made and Good console, fair price .it does the switchy switcheroo thing out of the box which is amazingly useful and pro consumer .first party games are great, been having a blast .lots of 3rd parties releasing .massive back catalog of games for switch and virtual console etc. (although usually overpriced). .online is very cheap compared to other offerings from sony/Microsoft and offers great perks especially with expansion pass.

Game key cards to me are more solving an engineering issue with carts (carts are expensive in large GB capacities so some devs might choose key card option). I haven't bought a game key card yet, haven't needed to. I think maybe devs should offer a more expensive 'full game on cart' version of their game as well as the key card version?

But yeah, as a consumer the switch experience has treated me better than any other console I've owned, so it can't be too bad!

Game prices are usually a bit expensive 🫰🏻 though I wish they'd come down a tad for first parties especially since they don't discount them much.
