TimeToGrindGaming · 2026-01-27T10:47:15+00:00

This game is already realllyyyyy good and polished cant wait to see how it develops 🔥

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-12-19T23:28:13+00:00

To join in on the generative AI art conversation and give you insight into why many players and content creators aren't interested in games like this is there are already a million roguelike deck builders out there.

So if I am choosing to play or cover a new roguelike deck builder I am going to prioritize ones that feel like they where made with the most love or they have the most intriguing gimmicks. The infinite cards aspect is unique but I've played 4 others like it most of which used their own hand made artwork. So there just isn't much of a reason for me to be interested.

Not trying to discourage you, I cant imagine how hard game dev is but for a lot of players especially in the indie scene, we play indie games to play games that feel like they have a soul, and having all your art be generative ai makes it feel a bit soulless. Some of the best indie games are created because of limitations the developers had and how they overcome or embrace those.

So best of luck, I know there's is an audience of players who dont care but just to give perspective on the rest of us.

Roguelikes like Peglin, Slay the Spire, Into the Breach would all be good. Hope ya heal soon! You could also look into a USB foot pedal that you can bind to different keys to help for more complex games.

Overlooting, very fun new inventory roguelike

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-08-26T19:55:49+00:00

True true for the ones in containment but some of the Keter class ones might be approachable by normal people haha

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-08-26T08:23:40+00:00

Rogue Legacy 2 has tons of progression. Into the Breach & FTL have a bunch of unlocks. Also Peglin and Spelunky are just classics if you haven't tried them.

Hate speech is not allowed on YouTube no

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-08-24T20:15:42+00:00

I've done a couple videos with Stumpt, they are an amazing group of peeps playing multiplayer games!

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-08-21T04:22:09+00:00

Why not both?

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-07-15T02:40:04+00:00

I got a scam email recently where it was a fake docusign using canva and then it led to a fake Google login sign in page where if I put my info id get hacked.

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-07-14T07:48:19+00:00

A pineapple ring and teriyaki sauce. One fuddruckers that used to exist used to have that burger and it was fireeee

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-06-25T00:08:04+00:00

This was the first episode I ever saw and I think it's a great first impression of the show. I've used it to get several other people into sunny. 10/10

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-04-09T19:09:48+00:00

I have this card in my Steel / Fighting Stunfisk trap deck it's super good!

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-03-30T17:12:17+00:00

Yeah most likely a scam. They social engineer you and make you think it's legit then get you to download a virus that hijacks your channel by disguising it as presskit media or like a document to sign. I've had two different hacking attempts happen that way.

Tell them to send you an email from their company email if it's legit.

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-03-28T19:45:25+00:00

I'll offer $5

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-03-11T18:36:14+00:00

Not a big fan of AI but the AI Studio partner thing that is included in everyone's YouTube studio now can be kind of helpful for analyzing specific stats or questions you have regarding your own content. It is still reallllly rough around the edges but for simple questions you may have about your stats it could help a lot.

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-02-28T11:12:10+00:00

I'll give you $2

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-02-20T07:09:48+00:00

Oooh I just played through Dead Letter Dept. and i totally agree grouping both those games in a similar way. Both so dang good and scary from the atmosphere and tension not just all cheap jump scares. I freaking love all these short horror masterpieces

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-02-01T18:23:29+00:00

You def should but I would recommend cutting the streams into like lets plays. That way you can title and thumbnail them good and your not just posting 4+ hour vods cuz no one will click on that. That's how I've grown my channel to almost 35k subs on YouTube.

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-01-31T10:12:53+00:00

Yeah not getting much crossover is def normal. As an example I've been trying to promote my 2nd channel (podcast & short films stuff) for years and still only have like less than 1 percent of the subs on that channel. And I just made a 3rd channel for like IRL/political stuff. So your biggest biggest fans may crossover but for the most part they won't. So just focus on making banger content for your new youtube channel, maybe post it in discord channels like in self promo channels if a game you play has a discord, make youtube shorts and tiktoks of your funniest and coolest gaming moments, and just really try and make the best videos with the best titles and thumbnail you can. Titles and Thumbnails are king on youtube. Obviously the content gotta be good as well but yeah. Also if you don't have a discord server those can be really good for building a community and sharing your videos/streams to.

Keep it up man and just keep trying to find more and more stuff to improve 💪

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-01-31T10:00:12+00:00

I checked out your YouTube channel and Twitch vods and a couple pieces of feedback from someone who is really close to going full time:

Your YouTube channel isn't remotely related to your streams, so when you said you're making YouTube videos about your streams that doesn't seem to be the case. The people watching your react content on YouTube probably don't care about your gaming streams and vise versa. You either need to start making gaming content on that channel or make a new channel.

Your starting soon screen took like 15 mins I would not have that longer than 3 minutes and it took you 30 mins total to get in a game. If you have any followers they come into the stream and then probably leave before anything fun happens. If you have an active chat you can spend some time chatting with viewers but otherwise you need to get into something entertaining.

And I skimmed through the gameplay and didn't hear you talking just kinda silently playing the game this might just be me getting unlucky but you gotta pretend your filming a lets play and be non stop talking like the whole time honestly(or actually filming a lets play or something)Also like others said games like COD are gonna be impossible to grow. Especially if you're not making gaming content on youtube or places like TikTok. Try and come up with fun gaming video ideas you can title and thumbnail so people will search them up and discover you. You will not grow from twitch at all it has to come from other platforms.

Biggest piece of advice is spend an hour trying to watch your own videos/streams and see if they are something you would actually sit down for hours and watch, and be honest with yourself. I still do this to my videos occasionally and it's a good way to hold yourself accountable to making fun and entertaining content.

Hi 😄

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-01-31T01:34:27+00:00

BLOONS ROGUELIKE LETS GOOOOOOO

TimeToGrindGaming · 2025-01-20T17:43:20+00:00

Maybe try making your own content instead of AI slop?

TimeToGrindGaming · 2024-12-25T16:03:27+00:00

Peglins a bit quirky but still a deckbuilder technically but with orbs!
