The thing I, as a kindergarten teacher, love the most about Hermitcraft is that it is a bunch of responsible grown ups showing everyone that adults can play and be creative together and just enjoy playing pretend, building with blocks and getting excited for imaginary experiences. They laugh, prank each other, care for one another, cry over digital pets and enjoy creative builds made by others or as a joint effort. And most of it isnt even uploaded. Its obvious that they enjoy playing together, something rarely shown in sports or competitions or most workplaces. Kids growing up with Hermitcraft will keep playing and having fun with friends. And adults watching Hermitcraft will be more open to share joy in gaming and playing with their kids, as they see other adults not worry about coming across as being childish. I love the example this community sets. ❤
For the next Life series, you should do Jimmy's Life. Half the server is dedicated to protecting Jimmy, the other half is trying to make sure he goes out first again. Jimmy gets 10 lives, everyone else gets 3. The usual rules apply to the people with 3 lives, green, yellow, red etc. Jimmy can kill with impunity.
@@NefKeepsLore Hahaha probably true. Maybe he starts with 3 but gets a life for each one he takes. That sets up an interesting sacrifice dynamic between him and his protectors.
Hearing scar (and skizz) talk about disability and owning it and not letting things that you can no longer do the same way as you did in the past get to you really made my heart warm, as a newly diagnosed disabled person, I really needed that uplifting 💛
I know how that feels, my friend. Please always remember that you truly do shine in a way that only you can. You may not always see it, but you are radiant. You have many challenges coming your way. Please remember those who care for you, and be extremely kind to yourself. Be understanding, and be patient. I wish you the best. You are going to shine even brighter than ever before, my friend. Just wait and see.
My partner was diagnosed about 20 years ago. Her life took a sudden turn from what she had planned and she had to drop out of college. But it opened up new possibilities too, and now she's a music teacher and living a good life. So you may end up in a very different place than where you started, but it can still be a really good place to be.
@@stargirl9114 thank you so much, that was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me. you truly are a shining light in this world of gray 💛
@@grutarg2938 thank you for sharing her story, i was diagnosed just at the beginning of my last year of college and i was struggling with it as i’m in my last two weeks, it’s great to hear her journey navigated to a wonderful place and she’s doing amazing and happy 💛
absolutely. the amount of things he gets done when building for example is so impressive. for me to get that amount of building done, even on a less elaborate scale, would take months not just two weeks!
As someone with a progressive neurological condition, Scar holds an extra special place in my heart. The challenges I face are slightly different to scar in that I haven't had to endure long periods of hospitalisation, I am just forever dealing with new limitations that just slowly creep up and steal portions of my life, little by little. The way Scar is so open and accepting of his disability really helped me to mentally take ownership of my own. X
you know the whole bit about "owning your disabilities" is such a great advice for everything. Not exclusively for a disability but for everything you are insecure about. Really really great, can't wait for part 2.
This is literally the only time I have checked my phone immediately after I wake up, and I have been rewarded! Edit: knowing that the podcast is almost an hour long, and that this was posted less than 10 minutes ago, means that all around the world there is a couple hundred people watching this video with me. Right now. I love that
This is for Scar. I’m a nurse and I follow a lot of nurse creators on IG . One of them, a pediatric nurse, showed the GO Kart in hospital and how impressed they were by it and how much the kids they take care of love it. And it was brand new. I feel certain it was sponsored by the Hermitcraft charity livestream. The nurse didn’t mention Hermitcraft or anything-they didn’t really have any idea where the kart came from, they were just glad to have it and excited to be able to play games with their patients if their patients asked them to. You were right when you described the hospital like a prison. You’ve brought a light in the darkness to so many. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate Scar's consideration with the charity event with Gamer's Outreach. Both with the recipients and the donators, Scar made sure the donations were tangible and I think that made a huge impact. I'm 100% ready for the next Hermit charity event whenever that is!
"I appreciate the five star review of my performance" in response to haters sending rude messages at the end of a match is such a lovely (and funny) attitude to have. This is why Scar is Scar. I would never respond (or even think) like that. This guy knows how to turn anything positive and fun.
48:48 i'm literally tearing up and sobbing while listening to this . this entire podcast talking about disabilities has felt so comforting and exciting and safe ... scar is so down to earth, so thoughtful and so skilled with the words he chooses to speak .. thank you guys so much for this episode and thank you scar for everything you do and the message you convey
53:37 I had to stop and take a moment after hearing that. What breaks my heart is that Scar could say it so casually like he's heard it thousands of times. I only have awe and respect for the incredible strength he has. Scar, sir, you are a gift.
It's incredibly admirable that he's able to not let that get to him. Even compared to his disabilities, his mentality overpowers it and makes him one of the most "able-bodied" people, probably much more than he's aware of. A lot of us who are reasonably healthy physically are really not doing well mentally, and as he also said, that really kills creativity and joy, making us unable to accomplish what we want. And as someone who's been in and around a lot of mental issues for at least a decade and a half: people, please seek help, both professionally and with friends and (loving) family. As Scar so eloquently put it, down feelings are not forever feelings, even if depression lasts years. There will be ups, and also downs, but also ups, and those ups will be worth it.
Me too. I felt a fiery surge of protectiveness wash over me, like -- how DARE you, whoever you were in the past, saying things like that to ANY other human being, much less SCAR?! To the point where the person who it's directed to can call up an example that casually? How do they sleep at night? I just wanna talk about healthier ways to manage those kinds of impulses that make you feel like you have to take potshots at people like that, c'mere -- That said, I love Scar's perspective on it and how he manages to deflect it to roll off his back. Like "thank you for the five-star review of my performance!" I'm stealing that. X3 And also blessings to his mod team.
It's interesting to hear that Scar started out so timid. I started watching Scar some years back, but by then, he already had his radio announcer voice. Love you Scar! 🙂
I’ve been watching him for ten years, and he still had his radio announcer voice. I dunno what he’s talking about 😂 you need to be REAAAALLLYYY og to hear his non announcer voice 😂
Man one of my favorite things about scar is his ability to share his experiences in such a way that makes it easily understandable for his viewers. Hes also just so passionate about his projects and that passion lets me be reminded thats there can be many challenges you face but despite them all you can still work hard to do the things you love, scar is just an amazing person
11:04 I think my favourite skizz and scar moment was when they were playing a Phasmo stream and skizz went ohhhmmmmmmmmygod if your wearing a skirt close your legs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I nearly died laughing 😂😂 Edit: thanks for the correction Skizz! 😊
21:22 I love all the awesome stories that everyone else looks up to and then it always comes down to one scared soul who took the plunge. And a group of nice people, arms wide open. Just so wholesome. It makes me wanna cry.
Having a disability myself, i think Scar says the best things. Dont let the disability own you, own your disability. It's something I'm really trying hard to learn :') he is truly an inspiration
Scar talking about the GO carts just made me ball my eyes out. I'm so sorry to all those kids that have to be in the hospital all day. Thank Scar for being the person that took the leap to this program. Love you Scar! ❤
ay si me acuerdo luego traduzco este comentario pero es que no tengo las palabras en ingles para explicar la preciosa lloradita que me he echado escuchando a Scar hablar de Gamers Outreach, recientemente pase mi primer tiempo en el hospital y es increiblemente conmovedor escuchar como toda la comunidad ha resonado de la misma forma y colaborado para hacer algo enorme, es un orgullo tener una comunidad que sea principalmente descrita como wholesome
OH my! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I am the Mom of 2 son's and wife of a man with mental & physical disabilities. Bringing awareness and acceptance is HUGE for my family! Thank you for being so open and real about life. I am blessed to be able to support creators like the 3 of you!
I love getting to hear Scar on a podcast! It's so awesome to get some more story behind the amazing man that he is! (and fellow Oregonian!) He's so inspiring, and as someone who has worked with young folks with disabilities, he's paving a future for them that they and society never thought was possible, being able to entertain, inspire, and support themselves. It's just so amazing to see, and I love getting to share his content!!
To hear Scar say anyone with a disability or chronic illness lives their life on hard mode... was so validating and made me cry. I've said that exact thing about myself so many times and have been met with disbelief or negativity. It feels good to be seen by someone I respect so much. Scar is truly an inspiration in so many ways and yet another person to put fuel into my drive for better mental health. I can't wait for Part 2!
as a disabled person myself, being hospitalized and held in an isolation room the only true saving grace was being able to play online with a friend of mine. It truly kept me completely sane. good on you scar for setting this up, good on the rest of the community as a collective for giving these people so much happiness and joy to forget real life for a few moments
34:31 As someone who has spent a large amount of time of his childhood in a hospital it does feel like being stuck in a prison and you get to do nothing. This is why I love Scar! He understands the struggles people go through and actually cares! and to live in a world where the next generation could sleep a little easier at night and have more peace of mind in a hospital is a beautiful thing! I genuinely feel as though Scar is one of the most kind and amazing people alive. Love you, Scar!
Skizz I appreciate the MS thing as someone who has it and is now off on disability makes me believe that this isn't the end. I want to thank you for that. Be a proud warrior that you are
As another disabled person who deals with a lot of mental health conditions, finding ways to mitigate those during the pandemic has been a huge struggle for me. So hearing from another disabled person about it is very validating.
When I first learned of Scar and his disability I had a "duh" moment. Well, of course! Video games are a way to equalize the playing field for those differently-abled. That charity is so awesome and necessary! Take a bow, Scar.
"People can't make fun of what you own" has been living rent free in my mind for about a month and its helped me own my hearing loss, to be less afraid of telling people about it or commenting on it and I've never felt to happy to have a disability, because its mine. Thank you, Scar!
This was so very very good. First Tango, now Scar! You guys make this show so incredible! Can't wait for part 2! Shortest hour I've had since my daughter was born.
I began watching Scar 11 years ago. with the, "How To Build Cool Buildings." I've been hooked with him ever since. For me, he is a teacher of blocks and texture who could make a jumbled chest into something beautiful even then. ScarLand is an awesome place that I sometimes refer to sometimes even today. His houses, the modern house, the chocolate house, the hunted mansion, the cabin, museum and roller coaster are works of art. He is a brilliant and an inspiring creator.
It is kind of crazy to me that scar talks about his biggest weakness is energy. when his videos are playing, you could never tell! he is so spunky, fun, and uplifting it's hard to see the struggle behind the scenes. Truly admirable!
I started watching scar when i was 13-14 and i had just been diagnosed with blood clots and now im nearly 20 and i use mobility aids and am on two different pain meds and scar is so right with how prison like hospitals can be, i remember playing sims and minecraft while in hospital on a similar device. While im in the uk and gamers outreach don't work here at the time they did have a similar ish devices in hospitals which were tvs on a mobile rolling device and it helped me so much. Scars videos helped me through so much and when i learned about him working with gamers outreach i was so happy as similar devices kept me sane with me week long stints in hospital.
Omg I was so happy for this episode I love scar he is my favourite hermit he is an amazing person even with all the challenges he faces he is still a very knowledgeable person and loves to share his passions
Scar is one of the most inspirational youtubers ive ever seen. What he has overcome is like the Everest of struggles, and he still brings a passion and charisma that dwarfs anything i could hope to express. Thank you, Scar. And thank you imp and skizz for hosting him
I believe, as humans, we all desire to do something or be something that will carry on after our lives. This could mean raising children, writing a book, creating a foundation, etc. What you all have been able to do as content creators have made lasting impacts on so many lives. I’m one of those individuals who have been impacted by Hermitcraft and the Hermits (pulled me out of a dark time while deployed). Others laughed when I said Minecraft videos helped me to stay sane, but it’s the truth. Thank you for all you do and keep up the amazing work! Even if you quit tomorrow, know you’ve made a difference in this world and (at least for me) you’ll be remembered and respected.
I literally just looked for something to cheer me up and you guys make my day in 0.01 seconds! This podcast is the best in the world, love you guys ❤🎉❤
We need to all just say……… we will always. ALWAYS. stick with scar. He is just the best. Why would I ever walk away. He is so funny, so honest. So caring, kind, just the very best person he can be, which is the very best person.
Scar talking about owning his disablilty, not letting people attack things that he owns, and, the way I would sum it up, focusing on what you CAN do, not what you can't, all of that was really inspiring, even as someone without a disability. We all have our limitations and our things that get to us.
As a kid I was stuck in the hospital for a few nights dealing with appendicitis and getting my appendix removed. The children's hospital had TV's and video games, and my parents bought Space Jam and that was my first time watching that movie. There was another kid sharing the room with me and we tried to play Super Mario World together. I don't know what was going on with him, but he didn't have the energy to keep playing, but he did want to keep watching me play. The whole thing made my night, even though it got cut short because the IV's kept moving and alerting the nurses so my parents wanted to stop the games, and probably the other kid fell asleep. I would have kept playing the entire time if I could even though I was a little tired too.
It could be that I’m old or that I’m high or the fact that scar is an amazing inspiration and storyteller but he had me in tears today and I think it was well needed. Thank you Impulse and skizzleman keep up the great work.
Scar is such an inspiration to everyone - I love that "living life on Hard mode" and "those bad feelings aren't forever feelings" lines. He has probably changed more lives than he'll ever imagine. That in itself can feel like pressure, but his community would never want him to feel pressured... We just love him for his a-maz-ing personality! If a Hermitcraft or MineCon came to the Northeast, I'd drive from Maine to say thank you to all of you for the joy you bring!
Scar is one of the most wholesome and inspiring human beings on this planet. Can't wait for part 2, could listen to him for hours and hours and hours. Don't care too much about Disney world, but if Scar wants to talk Disney, we'll talk Disney and I'll listen to every bit of it.
I started watching Scar around the time that I had realized that I was disabled (severe ADHD, autism) and I'm so glad that I found him. Scar struggles so much and makes such amazing things, and I want to be like that one day. He's been especially helpful lately as I've developed chronic pain and coming to terms with it is... Hard.
I swear Scar is the nicest and most upbeat person I've ever seen. Just the overwhelming positivity in the face of his situation is incredibly inspiring. I've actually started to enjoy terraforming in minecraft since watching his videos cause he just makes it look like so much fun and I used to hate it. Numerous hermits have become a part of my RUclips watch lists and I'm grateful that I was recommended one of Grians videos cause that got me into minecraft and it snowballed from there. Grian, Scar, Mumbo, Tango and Impulse have become people I look forward to uploading videos
I've commented this once in a day in the life scar video, but... I'm a nurse, for a little while there, I worked with children who lived in a car home because the level of daily critical care they needed. I met a young lady who was about to age out of the house and was maybe a junior in highschool. I remember being so upset with staff before me and her family, because they treated her like she was still a little girl of maybe 11 years. Pushing Disney idols like Selena Gomez, discussing plans to transition her into an adult family care home. This young woman had no mental delays or disabilities, and in fact was very creative and smart. One day we had some bad weather and I lived about an hour and a half away so I decided just to stay in the guest room. And while I was there I made a point to just sit and chat about her goals and plans. She lamented to me that no one would help her prepare for applying to colleges and she felt like they were trying to scare her away from it. She told me that she knows she can't afford x, y, and z because she was a ward of the state and she knew she wasn't capable of working. When I tell you I was mad... That didn't even begin to explain half of what I felt. I introduced her to scar's DITL videos and told her there's always something you can do and in this day and she with the technology available to her, she can make a career out of almost anything. There were lots of jobs she could do from home. There were things she could do on her good days etc. She ended up going down a "laugh your RUclips career" rabbit hole on her phone, and by the time I finished my rotation there, she'd started making videos about her art and what life was like for her. Scar was a major catalyst in pricing to her, that she could be more than the little box people put her in would let her be.
This may be the shortest podcast you’ve ever uploaded. Scar has so many amazing stories. There are a lot of threads I’d love to pull at. For example, Scar had an offhand comment that he used to do data entry for work. I’d love to hear more about that kind of thing before he made enough money to support his parents who were supporting him and what it must have been like to take care of the family’s needs. I recently bought a mic to start practicing public speaking and can relate to Scar’s 2011 voice. The fact he went from that to this is inspiring. I know that many youtubers (including you, Impulse!) had that humble start and now your voices are full when you speak on the mic. It’s a shocking transformation that I hope I can look forward to as well. Really looking forward to part 2 of Scar’s interview!
I had an ear tumor as a kid back in the late 90's, and one of the only positive memories of that time that I have was a cart being brought into my room with pokemon snap on the N64. Such a wonderful thing for kids going through a hard time.
I’m not easily amused or emotional. Got a little glossy eyes listening to scars testimony and feeling myself in the isolation of a hospital as a child and needing something to get myself out of my “worst-case-scenario” mind. Well done guys.
Really appreciated how Scar described knowing your limits, but not letting it keep you down, and doing everything you can within your abilities! Definitely a message I needed to hear 💕 Can’t wait for part 2!
Thank you for having Scar on. He is my favourite RUclipsr and a big inspiration to me to stay positive in hard times. Edit: Please have him back again soon.
I have spent many hours at the childrens hospital in seattle up by Scar when i was little. They had a brand new N64 system with mario and zelda. The amount of hours i spent playing those systems trying not to think about what my sister was going thru really helped me get thru some difficult family times. Scar is right on the money about how helpful it is for games to get you thru some hard times when your just waiting in a hospital with nothing to do but stress and worry.
Scar has been a huge HUGE inspiration to myself. I was a previously perfectly healthy late 20’s guy, then got hit with LONG COVID. Very Debilitating and caused me to be bed bound for a bit (which in turn lead me to Hermitcraft and finding all you lovely people!), but Scar immediately gave me more than hope, but a fresh perspective on my situation. Seeing him not only never giving up but putting his best foot forward and ALWAYS maintaining his infectious level of positivity (which I know is the hardest thing in the world) has help me tremendously getting through this life changing horror that I’ve found myself in. As they say in Rouge One “Rebellions are built on HOPE!” And Scar is a shinning beacon of hope for so many!
Scar knows how to appreciate what's great in life and help others do the same because he frequently goes through negativity. His username is reflective of that. He can truly have good times... with scar. The accumulation of experiences enables him to make the best of things.
So so happy to see scar on the show, I love getting to hear from more Hermits and guests. I still would love to have Mrs. Tango as a guest as well. She is so much fun and I'm sure could bring a lot to the episode.
Scar... wow, Scar is something else. I love Scar; I can't begin to imagine what it's like to live in his shoes but he exudes inspiration. There are people out there who are adored by billions who cannot hold a candle to who Scar is, and that is a shame. You are an inspiration to me, and I will take the words "there is always a way around it" with me for the rest of my life. Here's wishing Scar all the best, thanks Impulse and Skiz for having Scar on the show
I know this is will get buried in the comments but I just wanted to say this. I don’t watch you guys often, so I had no idea Skizz that you have MS. But hearing that brought so much happiness to me to hear of a content creator with the same thing that I have. I’ve enjoyed watching Scar’s videos for years now, and seeing him push through his disability has helped me. Now, knowing that Skizz has MS just like I do, I feel like I can be successful too, if I just set my mind to it. My health is currently stable and I’m so blessed to have it be stable. I’m sorry to hear that you had a relapse! Please keep making content. I love watching the content on the Imp and Skizz channel. You all bring a smile to my face! Thank you!
Scar is always such a powerful person. As someone who has struggled a bunch with mental health for a long time, when I heard the other week that scar had been struggling i just wish I could give him a big hug
Im so impressed with the interview question flow. The set up of the questions the redirects from the answers to another question. Your own input adds so much insights and make it a wonderful podcast to listen too. The engagement and open discourse you have was very nice to listen too. Scar can tell wonderfull stories and is so inspiring to listen to. I really love this, I hope you can do one with pearl or zombiecleo next. Looking forward to the scar podcast part 2 maybe 3…. Scar has so much real intrinsic positivity thats based in a down to earth way of thinking, he is a wonderful person. I love his insights.
Scar is just a genuine, kind, inspiring, strong, talented, and beautifully person. I feel so lucky that he is making content for us and I stumbled across him. All the love in the world to him.
“We live life on hard mode” 😮💨 that’s the one that got me. But scars perspective on there’s always a way somewhere somehow is what so many of us need to hear. Thank you scar, for everything you do, and thanks imp and skizz for helping us get to know you and our favorite Minecrafters better ❤
I cried a few times in this episode. The whole discussion about inspiring others with physical disabilities comes to me at a time when I need to hear it. It is so, so valuable and so validating for me. Specifically when Scar said that people with disability live life on hard mode but that we can find our way through in uncoventional ways. What you do IS so inspiring, and it gives me hope and is sparking drive and motivation that I can find my new place in this world, even if I won't get to do the phsyical career I had dedicated myself to. I found Scar (and Hermitcraft in general- thanks Etho!) when my fatigue and illness started to hit the hardest and I lost my beloved job as a result. Thank you so much for what y'all do, this podcast, the videos, and all the work and effort you put into your content.
This podcast seemed to only have lasted 15 minutes in my head. Scar is such an amazing storyteller. My eyes watered again when he was talking about his charity with the gaming-carts and later on I felt so empowered, as someone who's incapacitated, when he said "Own your disability!' I can't wait for part 2 ♥
Imp and Skizz. What can i say. You are the perfect mix of skills. I thought you surpassed yourselves with having Tango (swoon) on. Then you go and have such an open podcast with Scar (swoon) himself. Your open questions and Scars open answers just give me hope. As a massive disabled introvert with an amazing son, this podcast is just on point. I got into minecraft due to wanting to connect with my son. (Single mum an all that) Little did i know, 12 years on id be the one hooked on the Hermits & friends. You each have your own "thing" to bring and i honestly love you all for your input and for sharing your lives.
Yeah, if you could just go ahead and drop that part 2 a week early, that would be great.
Hey cub! hope to see you on here someday
That is true
Happy Mother's Day to your Mom, and wife!!!
Nice Office reference

Love how there was a "no Disney questions" restriction yet Scar still managed to get a Disneyland thing in when explaining his username 😆😆
If there were Disney questions allowed, they would need more than an hour for the podcast.
When he was talking about things that are possible and accessibility too 😂
Gotta love his passion!
I feel like Scar could make an epic Disney podcast
@@grutarg2938 *they would need at least 10 more podcasts which I would be totally down for
@@alleriodrone He did make one for a bit with his brother called 'Backlotboys Disney Podcast'.
The thing I, as a kindergarten teacher, love the most about Hermitcraft is that it is a bunch of responsible grown ups showing everyone that adults can play and be creative together and just enjoy playing pretend, building with blocks and getting excited for imaginary experiences. They laugh, prank each other, care for one another, cry over digital pets and enjoy creative builds made by others or as a joint effort. And most of it isnt even uploaded. Its obvious that they enjoy playing together, something rarely shown in sports or competitions or most workplaces. Kids growing up with Hermitcraft will keep playing and having fun with friends. And adults watching Hermitcraft will be more open to share joy in gaming and playing with their kids, as they see other adults not worry about coming across as being childish. I love the example this community sets. ❤
So beautifully said. This is precisely it.
it's also great that they're family friendly

...Giving Jimmy ten lives and the ability to kill with impunity is just a guarantee he goes out first. Buddy is reckless and I love him for it.
@@NefKeepsLore Hahaha probably true. Maybe he starts with 3 but gets a life for each one he takes. That sets up an interesting sacrifice dynamic between him and his protectors.
@@devanylonestar7008 Definitely. That way he doesn't just cozy up with the proven winners.
That would be funny next April fools time (if it's a quick series) just a funny mini one
Who knows though that could drag on! Sounds funny though
Hearing scar (and skizz) talk about disability and owning it and not letting things that you can no longer do the same way as you did in the past get to you really made my heart warm, as a newly diagnosed disabled person, I really needed that uplifting 💛
I know how that feels, my friend. Please always remember that you truly do shine in a way that only you can. You may not always see it, but you are radiant.
You have many challenges coming your way. Please remember those who care for you, and be extremely kind to yourself. Be understanding, and be patient. I wish you the best.
You are going to shine even brighter than ever before, my friend. Just wait and see.
My partner was diagnosed about 20 years ago. Her life took a sudden turn from what she had planned and she had to drop out of college. But it opened up new possibilities too, and now she's a music teacher and living a good life. So you may end up in a very different place than where you started, but it can still be a really good place to be.
@@stargirl9114 thank you so much, that was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me. you truly are a shining light in this world of gray 💛
@@grutarg2938 thank you for sharing her story, i was diagnosed just at the beginning of my last year of college and i was struggling with it as i’m in my last two weeks, it’s great to hear her journey navigated to a wonderful place and she’s doing amazing and happy 💛
@@Ashleylikesbunnies Thank you for your own sweet words! Please continue to shine as you do, if not brighter. :)
Scar is so hardworking the only person who has ever thought he might be lazy is himself
absolutely. the amount of things he gets done when building for example is so impressive. for me to get that amount of building done, even on a less elaborate scale, would take months not just two weeks!
The most fun part of the charity event was watching everyone's reactions as we blew past the $25k goal and added another $25k *every fifteen minutes*
That stream was the BEST
Scar the most extroverted hermit, says he is a huge introvert. Made me laugh. Scars confidence I one of the reasons I adore him so much so 😊
You can be a introvert with confidence...
Same 🥰
He must be protected
Exactly
@FukaiKokoro ESPECIALLY around close friends
As a huge introvert, I've always thought Scar seemed like a huge introvert. I relate to him a lot.
It's finally out!! Wow! Scar is finally on the best podcast show on the internet!! Awesome!!
When I opened RUclips this was at the top and I was pumped to see scar on here!
Please calm down a bit
@@RokStembergarAre we not allowed to be excited? I don’t get it.
@@JimmyNeutron1029 Right? I thought "Haha, you care about something, nerd!" was on its way out.
@@RokStembergar frick off- we’re allowed to like things, you know that?
As someone with a progressive neurological condition, Scar holds an extra special place in my heart. The challenges I face are slightly different to scar in that I haven't had to endure long periods of hospitalisation, I am just forever dealing with new limitations that just slowly creep up and steal portions of my life, little by little. The way Scar is so open and accepting of his disability really helped me to mentally take ownership of my own. X
Awww, thats so cute, I don’t have any illnesses or anything but scar is still one of my favourites. His energy is just soo uplifting❤❤
Holy crap, that hour went by fast. Scar is the quintessential storyteller.
you know the whole bit about "owning your disabilities" is such a great advice for everything. Not exclusively for a disability but for everything you are insecure about. Really really great, can't wait for part 2.
It's true, tell your weaknesses because it forces you to overcome them. Then every attack against them strengthens you.
First, seeing Scar with you guys made me so happy! Secondly, a 'Hermitcon' would be freakin' amazing!
I would go if I could go in any way at all.
If it was on the other side of the world I’d be there before dawn.
This is literally the only time I have checked my phone immediately after I wake up, and I have been rewarded!
Edit: knowing that the podcast is almost an hour long, and that this was posted less than 10 minutes ago, means that all around the world there is a couple hundred people watching this video with me. Right now. I love that
This is for Scar. I’m a nurse and I follow a lot of nurse creators on IG . One of them, a pediatric nurse, showed the GO Kart in hospital and how impressed they were by it and how much the kids they take care of love it. And it was brand new. I feel certain it was sponsored by the Hermitcraft charity livestream. The nurse didn’t mention Hermitcraft or anything-they didn’t really have any idea where the kart came from, they were just glad to have it and excited to be able to play games with their patients if their patients asked them to. You were right when you described the hospital like a prison. You’ve brought a light in the darkness to so many. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate Scar's consideration with the charity event with Gamer's Outreach. Both with the recipients and the donators, Scar made sure the donations were tangible and I think that made a huge impact. I'm 100% ready for the next Hermit charity event whenever that is!
"I appreciate the five star review of my performance" in response to haters sending rude messages at the end of a match is such a lovely (and funny) attitude to have. This is why Scar is Scar. I would never respond (or even think) like that. This guy knows how to turn anything positive and fun.
48:48 i'm literally tearing up and sobbing while listening to this . this entire podcast talking about disabilities has felt so comforting and exciting and safe ... scar is so down to earth, so thoughtful and so skilled with the words he chooses to speak .. thank you guys so much for this episode and thank you scar for everything you do and the message you convey
Scar is genuinely one of the most determined people I've ever seen and I hope he knows that he's a role model to so many people
53:37 I had to stop and take a moment after hearing that. What breaks my heart is that Scar could say it so casually like he's heard it thousands of times. I only have awe and respect for the incredible strength he has. Scar, sir, you are a gift.
It's incredibly admirable that he's able to not let that get to him. Even compared to his disabilities, his mentality overpowers it and makes him one of the most "able-bodied" people, probably much more than he's aware of. A lot of us who are reasonably healthy physically are really not doing well mentally, and as he also said, that really kills creativity and joy, making us unable to accomplish what we want. And as someone who's been in and around a lot of mental issues for at least a decade and a half: people, please seek help, both professionally and with friends and (loving) family. As Scar so eloquently put it, down feelings are not forever feelings, even if depression lasts years. There will be ups, and also downs, but also ups, and those ups will be worth it.
The way that hearing that genuinely made me mad just cause scar is such a kind person who doesn’t deserve anything negative whatsoever
Me too. I felt a fiery surge of protectiveness wash over me, like -- how DARE you, whoever you were in the past, saying things like that to ANY other human being, much less SCAR?! To the point where the person who it's directed to can call up an example that casually? How do they sleep at night? I just wanna talk about healthier ways to manage those kinds of impulses that make you feel like you have to take potshots at people like that, c'mere --
That said, I love Scar's perspective on it and how he manages to deflect it to roll off his back. Like "thank you for the five-star review of my performance!" I'm stealing that. X3 And also blessings to his mod team.
Man it's gonna hurt so bad to smile for 57 minutes straight ❤
Hearing Scar talk about anything just puts a smile on my face. You can't beat his positivity and enthusiasm!
He always talks with such passion that you just can't walk away
It's interesting to hear that Scar started out so timid. I started watching Scar some years back, but by then, he already had his radio announcer voice.
Love you Scar! 🙂
I’ve been watching him for ten years, and he still had his radio announcer voice. I dunno what he’s talking about 😂 you need to be REAAAALLLYYY og to hear his non announcer voice 😂
Man one of my favorite things about scar is his ability to share his experiences in such a way that makes it easily understandable for his viewers. Hes also just so passionate about his projects and that passion lets me be reminded thats there can be many challenges you face but despite them all you can still work hard to do the things you love, scar is just an amazing person
I feel like skizz is going to become a part of the hermitcraft crew just because of his major involment with the hermitcraft community. Skizz for S10!
Even if he’s let in as a hermit helper like impulse doing a big project and needs help to have him pop on then he just stays like tango did
Yeah that would be amazing
I second this!!! We need skizz on hermitcraft*!
He's said it before that he would love to be in hermitcraft but it's not possible for him because of real life things.
Well you were right
11:04 I think my favourite skizz and scar moment was when they were playing a Phasmo stream and skizz went ohhhmmmmmmmmygod if your wearing a skirt close your legs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I nearly died laughing 😂😂
Edit: thanks for the correction Skizz! 😊
21:22 I love all the awesome stories that everyone else looks up to and then it always comes down to one scared soul who took the plunge.
And a group of nice people, arms wide open. Just so wholesome. It makes me wanna cry.
What among us stream was that? I wil not be able to watch through all of them searching for it
It was actually a Phasmo stream. That might make it easier to find.
Having a disability myself, i think Scar says the best things. Dont let the disability own you, own your disability. It's something I'm really trying hard to learn :') he is truly an inspiration
i agree so much he inspires and motivates me so much
Scar talking about the GO carts just made me ball my eyes out. I'm so sorry to all those kids that have to be in the hospital all day. Thank Scar for being the person that took the leap to this program. Love you Scar! ❤
Scar is one of the greatest humans. What a true inspiration
Scar is such a huge inspiration, he and Imp kept me going through cancer treatments and recovery.
ay si me acuerdo luego traduzco este comentario pero es que no tengo las palabras en ingles para explicar la preciosa lloradita que me he echado escuchando a Scar hablar de Gamers Outreach, recientemente pase mi primer tiempo en el hospital y es increiblemente conmovedor escuchar como toda la comunidad ha resonado de la misma forma y colaborado para hacer algo enorme, es un orgullo tener una comunidad que sea principalmente descrita como wholesome
Google translate got your back. ❤
@@StarNanny came to say the same
I didn’t know Skizz had MS - so glad to learn more about him and that he’s sharing that with us.
Thank you Imp & Skizz for the opportunity to listen Scar on the podcast. And Scar you are AMAZING!!!
"Those down feelings are never forever feelings." Beautifully said and words everyone who goes though tough times should keep close.
OH my! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I am the Mom of 2 son's and wife of a man with mental & physical disabilities. Bringing awareness and acceptance is HUGE for my family! Thank you for being so open and real about life. I am blessed to be able to support creators like the 3 of you!
I love getting to hear Scar on a podcast! It's so awesome to get some more story behind the amazing man that he is! (and fellow Oregonian!) He's so inspiring, and as someone who has worked with young folks with disabilities, he's paving a future for them that they and society never thought was possible, being able to entertain, inspire, and support themselves. It's just so amazing to see, and I love getting to share his content!!
technically, Scar's a Washingtonian
The only podcast I tune into without fail 😊 so awesome to have Scar this week !
I am so happy to see Scar on here. He's an amazing content creator. These three are top tier.
To hear Scar say anyone with a disability or chronic illness lives their life on hard mode... was so validating and made me cry. I've said that exact thing about myself so many times and have been met with disbelief or negativity. It feels good to be seen by someone I respect so much. Scar is truly an inspiration in so many ways and yet another person to put fuel into my drive for better mental health. I can't wait for Part 2!
as a disabled person myself, being hospitalized and held in an isolation room the only true saving grace was being able to play online with a friend of mine. It truly kept me completely sane. good on you scar for setting this up, good on the rest of the community as a collective for giving these people so much happiness and joy to forget real life for a few moments
34:31 As someone who has spent a large amount of time of his childhood in a hospital it does feel like being stuck in a prison and you get to do nothing. This is why I love Scar! He understands the struggles people go through and actually cares! and to live in a world where the next generation could sleep a little easier at night and have more peace of mind in a hospital is a beautiful thing! I genuinely feel as though Scar is one of the most kind and amazing people alive. Love you, Scar!
Skizz I appreciate the MS thing as someone who has it and is now off on disability makes me believe that this isn't the end. I want to thank you for that. Be a proud warrior that you are
Scar, you are such a beautiful person. We love you. ❤
Thank you impulse and Skizz for this. 💕
Can't wait for next week!!
I love Scar’s outlook on living with a disability is just going through life on hard mode. Such a great analogy.
As another disabled person who deals with a lot of mental health conditions, finding ways to mitigate those during the pandemic has been a huge struggle for me. So hearing from another disabled person about it is very validating.
I freaking love Scar. Dude is too wholesome for this world.
i ALMOST went to minecon 2012 and im so sad i didnt get to D: i really hope minecons happen again, ive never been to one :(
a wild mysticat appears
I love that you had Scar on, he’s such and awesome positive inspiration. So glad you guys are having guests on virtually!
When I first learned of Scar and his disability I had a "duh" moment. Well, of course! Video games are a way to equalize the playing field for those differently-abled. That charity is so awesome and necessary! Take a bow, Scar.
FYI: most disabled people chose to you the word disabled as apposed to euphemisms like differently- abled. Disabled is not a dirty word!
you don’t have to say differently abled, in-fact some disabled people prefer disabled rather than differently abled
Goodtimes with Imp and Skizz!
The ScarLand connection from Scar’s beginning to now is so touching 😭
"People can't make fun of what you own" has been living rent free in my mind for about a month and its helped me own my hearing loss, to be less afraid of telling people about it or commenting on it and I've never felt to happy to have a disability, because its mine. Thank you, Scar!
This was so very very good. First Tango, now Scar! You guys make this show so incredible! Can't wait for part 2! Shortest hour I've had since my daughter was born.
While watching this I realized that scar may just be one of my favorite human beings of all time. He’s so positive and inspiring and such a role model
I began watching Scar 11 years ago. with the, "How To Build Cool Buildings." I've been hooked with him ever since. For me, he is a teacher of blocks and texture who could make a jumbled chest into something beautiful even then. ScarLand is an awesome place that I sometimes refer to sometimes even today. His houses, the modern house, the chocolate house, the hunted mansion, the cabin, museum and roller coaster are works of art. He is a brilliant and an inspiring creator.
So much is said in the way that they quietly listen to scar the level of admiration and respect comes through loudly
It is kind of crazy to me that scar talks about his biggest weakness is energy. when his videos are playing, you could never tell! he is so spunky, fun, and uplifting it's hard to see the struggle behind the scenes. Truly admirable!
I love Scar. He seems like such a wonderful person. God bless him. Great episode!!
I started watching scar when i was 13-14 and i had just been diagnosed with blood clots and now im nearly 20 and i use mobility aids and am on two different pain meds and scar is so right with how prison like hospitals can be, i remember playing sims and minecraft while in hospital on a similar device.
While im in the uk and gamers outreach don't work here at the time they did have a similar ish devices in hospitals which were tvs on a mobile rolling device and it helped me so much. Scars videos helped me through so much and when i learned about him working with gamers outreach i was so happy as similar devices kept me sane with me week long stints in hospital.
Omg I was so happy for this episode I love scar he is my favourite hermit he is an amazing person even with all the challenges he faces he is still a very knowledgeable person and loves to share his passions
Loved hearing from Scar, he's just the sweetest! Can't wait for next week! ❤
Scar is one of the most inspirational youtubers ive ever seen.
What he has overcome is like the Everest of struggles, and he still brings a passion and charisma that dwarfs anything i could hope to express.
Thank you, Scar. And thank you imp and skizz for hosting him
I believe, as humans, we all desire to do something or be something that will carry on after our lives. This could mean raising children, writing a book, creating a foundation, etc. What you all have been able to do as content creators have made lasting impacts on so many lives. I’m one of those individuals who have been impacted by Hermitcraft and the Hermits (pulled me out of a dark time while deployed). Others laughed when I said Minecraft videos helped me to stay sane, but it’s the truth.
Thank you for all you do and keep up the amazing work! Even if you quit tomorrow, know you’ve made a difference in this world and (at least for me) you’ll be remembered and respected.
Ditto! And then some! ❤
I literally just looked for something to cheer me up and you guys make my day in 0.01 seconds! This podcast is the best in the world, love you guys ❤🎉❤
Speed of light good mood vibes for sure!
We need to all just say……… we will always. ALWAYS. stick with scar. He is just the best. Why would I ever walk away. He is so funny, so honest. So caring, kind, just the very best person he can be, which is the very best person.
Scar is so pure and wholesome!! What an amazing person 😭❤❤❤
Scar talking about owning his disablilty, not letting people attack things that he owns, and, the way I would sum it up, focusing on what you CAN do, not what you can't, all of that was really inspiring, even as someone without a disability. We all have our limitations and our things that get to us.
As a kid I was stuck in the hospital for a few nights dealing with appendicitis and getting my appendix removed. The children's hospital had TV's and video games, and my parents bought Space Jam and that was my first time watching that movie. There was another kid sharing the room with me and we tried to play Super Mario World together. I don't know what was going on with him, but he didn't have the energy to keep playing, but he did want to keep watching me play. The whole thing made my night, even though it got cut short because the IV's kept moving and alerting the nurses so my parents wanted to stop the games, and probably the other kid fell asleep. I would have kept playing the entire time if I could even though I was a little tired too.
Love Scar! Glad you could get him on. And great job on the editing!
It could be that I’m old or that I’m high or the fact that scar is an amazing inspiration and storyteller but he had me in tears today and I think it was well needed. Thank you Impulse and skizzleman keep up the great work.
Scar is such an inspiration to everyone - I love that "living life on Hard mode" and "those bad feelings aren't forever feelings" lines. He has probably changed more lives than he'll ever imagine. That in itself can feel like pressure, but his community would never want him to feel pressured... We just love him for his a-maz-ing personality! If a Hermitcraft or MineCon came to the Northeast, I'd drive from Maine to say thank you to all of you for the joy you bring!
Scar is one of the most wholesome and inspiring human beings on this planet. Can't wait for part 2, could listen to him for hours and hours and hours. Don't care too much about Disney world, but if Scar wants to talk Disney, we'll talk Disney and I'll listen to every bit of it.
I started watching Scar around the time that I had realized that I was disabled (severe ADHD, autism) and I'm so glad that I found him. Scar struggles so much and makes such amazing things, and I want to be like that one day. He's been especially helpful lately as I've developed chronic pain and coming to terms with it is... Hard.
Wait, what !!! Scar ! This is going to be fab!! 💜💜
I swear Scar is the nicest and most upbeat person I've ever seen. Just the overwhelming positivity in the face of his situation is incredibly inspiring. I've actually started to enjoy terraforming in minecraft since watching his videos cause he just makes it look like so much fun and I used to hate it. Numerous hermits have become a part of my RUclips watch lists and I'm grateful that I was recommended one of Grians videos cause that got me into minecraft and it snowballed from there. Grian, Scar, Mumbo, Tango and Impulse have become people I look forward to uploading videos
I've commented this once in a day in the life scar video, but...
I'm a nurse, for a little while there, I worked with children who lived in a car home because the level of daily critical care they needed. I met a young lady who was about to age out of the house and was maybe a junior in highschool.
I remember being so upset with staff before me and her family, because they treated her like she was still a little girl of maybe 11 years. Pushing Disney idols like Selena Gomez, discussing plans to transition her into an adult family care home.
This young woman had no mental delays or disabilities, and in fact was very creative and smart. One day we had some bad weather and I lived about an hour and a half away so I decided just to stay in the guest room. And while I was there I made a point to just sit and chat about her goals and plans. She lamented to me that no one would help her prepare for applying to colleges and she felt like they were trying to scare her away from it. She told me that she knows she can't afford x, y, and z because she was a ward of the state and she knew she wasn't capable of working.
When I tell you I was mad... That didn't even begin to explain half of what I felt. I introduced her to scar's DITL videos and told her there's always something you can do and in this day and she with the technology available to her, she can make a career out of almost anything. There were lots of jobs she could do from home. There were things she could do on her good days etc. She ended up going down a "laugh your RUclips career" rabbit hole on her phone, and by the time I finished my rotation there, she'd started making videos about her art and what life was like for her.
Scar was a major catalyst in pricing to her, that she could be more than the little box people put her in would let her be.
This may be the shortest podcast you’ve ever uploaded.
Scar has so many amazing stories. There are a lot of threads I’d love to pull at. For example, Scar had an offhand comment that he used to do data entry for work. I’d love to hear more about that kind of thing before he made enough money to support his parents who were supporting him and what it must have been like to take care of the family’s needs.
I recently bought a mic to start practicing public speaking and can relate to Scar’s 2011 voice. The fact he went from that to this is inspiring. I know that many youtubers (including you, Impulse!) had that humble start and now your voices are full when you speak on the mic. It’s a shocking transformation that I hope I can look forward to as well.
Really looking forward to part 2 of Scar’s interview!
I had an ear tumor as a kid back in the late 90's, and one of the only positive memories of that time that I have was a cart being brought into my room with pokemon snap on the N64. Such a wonderful thing for kids going through a hard time.
I’m not easily amused or emotional. Got a little glossy eyes listening to scars testimony and feeling myself in the isolation of a hospital as a child and needing something to get myself out of my “worst-case-scenario” mind. Well done guys.
Really appreciated how Scar described knowing your limits, but not letting it keep you down, and doing everything you can within your abilities! Definitely a message I needed to hear 💕 Can’t wait for part 2!
Thank you for having Scar on. He is my favourite RUclipsr and a big inspiration to me to stay positive in hard times.
Edit: Please have him back again soon.
I woke up, entered the podcast app, and literally screamed when I saw that Scar was on the next episode XD
I have spent many hours at the childrens hospital in seattle up by Scar when i was little. They had a brand new N64 system with mario and zelda. The amount of hours i spent playing those systems trying not to think about what my sister was going thru really helped me get thru some difficult family times. Scar is right on the money about how helpful it is for games to get you thru some hard times when your just waiting in a hospital with nothing to do but stress and worry.
You got a event manager setting right there LETS GO! HERMITCON!
Scar has been a huge HUGE inspiration to myself. I was a previously perfectly healthy late 20’s guy, then got hit with LONG COVID. Very Debilitating and caused me to be bed bound for a bit (which in turn lead me to Hermitcraft and finding all you lovely people!), but Scar immediately gave me more than hope, but a fresh perspective on my situation. Seeing him not only never giving up but putting his best foot forward and ALWAYS maintaining his infectious level of positivity (which I know is the hardest thing in the world) has help me tremendously getting through this life changing horror that I’ve found myself in. As they say in Rouge One “Rebellions are built on HOPE!” And Scar is a shinning beacon of hope for so many!
Scar knows how to appreciate what's great in life and help others do the same because he frequently goes through negativity. His username is reflective of that. He can truly have good times... with scar. The accumulation of experiences enables him to make the best of things.
So so happy to see scar on the show, I love getting to hear from more Hermits and guests. I still would love to have Mrs. Tango as a guest as well. She is so much fun and I'm sure could bring a lot to the episode.
Goddammit I just love Scar so much. What an inspiring person. I love this pod, but Scar truly elevates it. Cannot wait for part 2.
Scar... wow, Scar is something else. I love Scar; I can't begin to imagine what it's like to live in his shoes but he exudes inspiration. There are people out there who are adored by billions who cannot hold a candle to who Scar is, and that is a shame. You are an inspiration to me, and I will take the words "there is always a way around it" with me for the rest of my life. Here's wishing Scar all the best, thanks Impulse and Skiz for having Scar on the show
Man I was constantly feeling teared up while watching this, just by being inspired, by feeling so much empathy for scar, admiration...awesome episode!
Scar is so inspirational. He helped me so much when I was
In hospital and in the times when I'm consistently going for appointments.
I know this is will get buried in the comments but I just wanted to say this. I don’t watch you guys often, so I had no idea Skizz that you have MS. But hearing that brought so much happiness to me to hear of a content creator with the same thing that I have. I’ve enjoyed watching Scar’s videos for years now, and seeing him push through his disability has helped me. Now, knowing that Skizz has MS just like I do, I feel like I can be successful too, if I just set my mind to it. My health is currently stable and I’m so blessed to have it be stable. I’m sorry to hear that you had a relapse! Please keep making content. I love watching the content on the Imp and Skizz channel. You all bring a smile to my face! Thank you!
Scar is always such a powerful person. As someone who has struggled a bunch with mental health for a long time, when I heard the other week that scar had been struggling i just wish I could give him a big hug
Im so impressed with the interview question flow. The set up of the questions the redirects from the answers to another question. Your own input adds so much insights and make it a wonderful podcast to listen too. The engagement and open discourse you have was very nice to listen too. Scar can tell wonderfull stories and is so inspiring to listen to. I really love this, I hope you can do one with pearl or zombiecleo next. Looking forward to the scar podcast part 2 maybe 3…. Scar has so much real intrinsic positivity thats based in a down to earth way of thinking, he is a wonderful person. I love his insights.
Scar is just a genuine, kind, inspiring, strong, talented, and beautifully person. I feel so lucky that he is making content for us and I stumbled across him. All the love in the world to him.
“We live life on hard mode” 😮💨 that’s the one that got me. But scars perspective on there’s always a way somewhere somehow is what so many of us need to hear. Thank you scar, for everything you do, and thanks imp and skizz for helping us get to know you and our favorite Minecrafters better ❤
I cried a few times in this episode. The whole discussion about inspiring others with physical disabilities comes to me at a time when I need to hear it. It is so, so valuable and so validating for me. Specifically when Scar said that people with disability live life on hard mode but that we can find our way through in uncoventional ways. What you do IS so inspiring, and it gives me hope and is sparking drive and motivation that I can find my new place in this world, even if I won't get to do the phsyical career I had dedicated myself to.
I found Scar (and Hermitcraft in general- thanks Etho!) when my fatigue and illness started to hit the hardest and I lost my beloved job as a result. Thank you so much for what y'all do, this podcast, the videos, and all the work and effort you put into your content.
This podcast seemed to only have lasted 15 minutes in my head. Scar is such an amazing storyteller. My eyes watered again when he was talking about his charity with the gaming-carts and later on I felt so empowered, as someone who's incapacitated, when he said "Own your disability!' I can't wait for part 2 ♥
Imp and Skizz. What can i say.
You are the perfect mix of skills.
I thought you surpassed yourselves with having Tango (swoon) on. Then you go and have such an open podcast with Scar (swoon) himself.
Your open questions and Scars open answers just give me hope.
As a massive disabled introvert with an amazing son, this podcast is just on point.
I got into minecraft due to wanting to connect with my son. (Single mum an all that)
Little did i know, 12 years on id be the one hooked on the Hermits & friends.
You each have your own "thing" to bring and i honestly love you all for your input and for sharing your lives.
Scar has saved my life more than than once, I love him to the death Star and back.
