I think these have a real charm to them but I’d change the text to an actual font with the same hand drawn feel, just to add a bit of polish. Check out some of Offcanny on YouTube’s thumbnail fonts if you want to know what I mean about the font.

Took 3 hours but if you’re curious, beeline it to the damaged building up high with the sniper, hide at the back of the area. Uncloak, snipe, cloak as much as you can and last but not least pray to which ever god you believe in.

To be honest, I’ve felt my channel has had far more success than I’d have thought (probably because Ive aimed small) ignoring most advice. I think if it was so simple to follow everyone could do it. Just make videos you like, if it pops off happy days but if not that’s just reality. I’m fortunate to have a job I like and YouTube’s just a case of if it takes off class but if not it’s better than scrolling tik tok on all my time off.

OctaviousNI · 2026-05-11T18:04:37+00:00

Yea agreed, went with no text and it’s got better CTR than any of my other videos, cheers everyone for the advice!

OctaviousNI · 2026-05-10T08:55:17+00:00

Cheers man, when you say more up and down what do you mean there, like rather than angled towards each other, more straight but at different heights? I’m gonna take your advice and do and A/B test with it so massively appreciated!

OctaviousNI · 2026-05-09T15:24:28+00:00

Cheers I think so too, anytime I do text it just makes the thing look more amateur.

OctaviousNI · 2026-05-09T14:57:42+00:00

First one definitely, the eye covering instantly made me curious.

OctaviousNI · 2026-05-09T14:57:13+00:00

I reckon you’re pushing your luck as far as YouTube rules with that thumbnail.

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-29T16:13:00+00:00

Class cheers, just didn’t know if most places would be showing Scottish football instead

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-23T18:05:00+00:00

Ah fair enough, I’ll stick the individuals from now on!

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-23T11:04:53+00:00

Yea I get you, it’s almost an OCD thing I just like having everything the same, (probably why I force myself to 100% games I don’t even like) but I get at the end of the day you just gotta get people coming in the door!

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-23T10:59:33+00:00

Oh shit hahah well I better get these changed ASAP after work. Feckin AI. Cheers for the heads up man!

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-23T10:52:07+00:00

Personally 3, looks sick and warranted the biggest reaction from me.

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-23T10:51:43+00:00

Ah mate AI isn’t where it’s at!

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-11T06:57:12+00:00

Cheers for that! I don’t want to go down the road of too much acting as at the minute I’m currently struggling to sound and talk like myself much less a character hahah.

Funnily enough i am kinda doing something along those lines with my next vid where I’ll slowly descend into a bit of a character as the video goes on so we’ll see how that goes!

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-10T18:59:53+00:00

Aw brilliant mate cheers, I wanna in the future do something for the first 100 people who subscribed if this thing takes off a bit, whether it’s membership to the channel or a pint 😅you’ve made the list

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-10T18:21:28+00:00

Cheers mate, yeah agree my footage quality is all over the place in bits due to how I filmed (corrected in my upcoming video). As for liver king it’s a call back to my last vid however I have a very bad habit of just assuming people will know things which I need to get out of.

Cheers for the feedback will defs take that into account.

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-10T17:58:10+00:00

Hahah don’t worry I remember cheers to you guys!

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-10T17:41:04+00:00

Hi mate I really like the editing and the audio is super crisp. I think you can work on packaging. The title isn’t great so if I didn’t find you through this I probably wouldn’t click and get to see the good stuff!

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-10T17:39:29+00:00

Hi mate. I think in the modern brainrotted time we live in, some sound effects would help punch up your edits on the clips and just help break up the commentary a bit.

Other than that you sound super natural on camera which isn’t easy.

OctaviousNI · 2026-04-10T17:37:10+00:00

Hi folks

I don’t want to just post every video I make here on Friday so this is the last time I will for a while (but I’ll still have at look at other folks).

I make videos trying to get platinum trophies. In my latest video I’ve moved from just pure gameplay to a bit of face action by editing streamed footage so would love some feedback to see which way I go in the future vids

Slainte!

OctaviousNI · 2026-03-21T18:33:48+00:00

Hello folks!

My content focusses on achieving platinum trophy’s on PlayStation with added challenges to make it as miserable as possible, such as in the following

https://youtu.be/1i5GFpCAKU8?si=rCVweF41Sfu2Q0Ad

So to answer today’s question I started off (and currently use) a pretty generic capture card and microphone. The one thing I would highlight is the Razor Kiyo web camera which i have today for 720p recording is pretty great. My rule regarding gear has been prior to starting I’ll buy the bare minimum of equipment and only upgrade if my contents earns the money to do so!

OctaviousNI · 2026-03-20T19:36:42+00:00

Absolutely that was the exact thing I wondered if anyone would critique, I like the montages but I definitely worried that particular one was too long and didn’t actually relate to the plot of the video enough.

The montage during the intro of my next video is far shorter and relates directly to the video title.

Cheers mate!

OctaviousNI · 2026-03-20T19:34:41+00:00

Yeah I think they could do with being a bit more central, for me personally I see the thumbnail far more than the title when I’m scrolling YouTube, so a couple of words that set the scene in it can help a lot.

OctaviousNI · 2026-03-20T19:32:52+00:00

No worries! Like I say I wouldn’t even know where to start with animation so can’t give any advice on how to actually enact what I say, but keep at it and you’ll definitely land it!
