the deepest dive into penny from stardew valley

holy views batman

this video is still doing numbers, i just checked and in the last 48 hours it's got double the views of the most recent video. why?? i mean i added a clickbait ass thumbnail but ive done that before lmao. i guess people are interested in penny? and the issues people have with her? i dont know lol. honestly it could be the fact that my cat is in it so much, idk why he wouldnt leave me alone that day, my bingus

but whatever the reason it's legit insane to look at my youtube page and see a video with (at time of writing) 164k views. that's. that's big. that's. omg. when it hit 100k i almost cried. idk like i watch a lot of youtube a LOT and i will watch videos with less views quite often just bc i know that that's not like a stamp of quality. but i have a little snake in my brain that decides what im gonna watch and if something has like 100k views he will be like 'mmmm must be good!!' like it's such a significant number. i remember when the abigail or alex video hit 1k and i was like oh nice cos i would be way more willing to watch a video with 1k than like 989 views. why? idk snake brain. im putting this into words badly. but i guess looking at the video with that number makes me feel........ like a real youtuber 😭 life is weird man

anyway with a video like this that kind of 'breaks containment' and is shown to more people comes more comments! more random people who have never seen me before. like ive said in a previous post i dont usually let stuff like that get me down bc i disagree with the comments. but this one has had some comments that have stuck with me - but like, in a constructive way i think. i had a few comments that the intro was too long. i guess in my head i figure hey you're gonna be here for 2.5 hours let me take 6 minutes to get going. but i think i would get bored too lol. too many disclaimers too much random info. so moving forward ive tried to take that on board. like in the sam video i think i wrote 'you can skip forward to stop me yapping' or something LOL. gotta give people options

it was really cool to have my sister in this video!! she's the coolest she's that classic older sister thing of like that's just me but cooler. you think IM cool omg. to be fair she doesnt play stardew which is pretty lame. but yeah i sent her all the comments of people saying they appreciated her perspective (and also all the ones of people saying how beautiful she is which true), she said if i want her to be in a vid in the future i just have to ask!! she also said she'd wanna do some kind of like, teach my sister how to play stardew lmao which is def more of a second channel / patreon vibe lol, we do have a very fun dynamic, same sense of humour. we made a joke about starting a podcast but we literally genuinely irl have the same voice, even her husband sometimes can't tell us apart

are those all of my penny thoughts? ... i think so! im pretty happy with how this one turned out. one person said i 'beat a dead horse' about the 2h scene but that was just one person lol, i def talked about it a LOT but im glad i was thorough instead of something like the harvey 2h where i felt i didnt put enough time into it :)

ok time to think about sebastian again
