Even as someone who plays Stardew casually, I find myself taking breaks for months or a year at a time. Stardew is an amazing game, but I 100% understand the burn out after playing for so long. Been absolutley loving the 100% videos and I can't wait to see more for you in the future!
Same here. I do the same with Stardew and other games I love. I love RollerCoaster Tycoon, but at times it just gets overwhelming and I would rather play something else. I always come back to them, but I need a break from time to time.
Me too. I played a week full and its been also weeks since since the last time i played it because there's just soo many targets that i feel like it would be a waste if i didn't do it and i was also curious to see the outputs but it's indeed feels exhausting once you're already on a break and thinking about playing back
Yup same i play for a few weeks, grinding for hours a day and then stop for months. Im coming up on my 1 year anniversary of my last save file lmao. The itch is coming back.... I yearn.. For the mines....
Never seen something so true. The game doesn’t seem like something that burns you out, but it does, lol. It’s weird, and you come back to it months later with the same passion as before.
The former Stardew content creator curse will never ever leave you unfortunately, people just cant accept that creators need to be creative and move on. Dangerously funny *still* gets comments asking him to go back and play, and he hasn't played for almost 4 years! Personally, love you recognizing you were getting burnt out and changing directions instead of torturing yourself!
It's like that with minecraft, the sims and skyrim, too. People are voracious for that specific brand of content, will subscribe just for that game, and nothing else.
When the 100% video came out it felt for me like a little conclusion of Sean just primarily stardew content. I’m loving the new content and I’m more here for his humor and personality now rather than another modded stardew farm
Your reasons are all perfectly fair, Seanie. I love seeing your other videos, and if and when you wanna come back to Stardew, we'd love to see it. I'm glad you made this video, and hopefully people will stop being jerks and needling you.
Totally feel this. I enjoy Stardew but once it becomes a chore to 100% with cooking every item, getting every fish, that's when I tap out. Respect to the people that love that but it's the same reason I'll never get too into speedrunning games; it just seems like it'll destroy the casual enjoyment. I'm personally enjoying your 100% videos and other content because there's variety.
i began watching due to stardew valley, but i think the transition away from it was handled well and i've loved your new content since. keep it up, with or without stardew‼️
Been watching Sean's growth over the past few years and nothing he said here surprised me. I will say, I personally enjoyed his chainsaw vid and his other wacky ideas! (Still waiting for another floor is lava installment, jk) Sean really seems like he's thriving in his new direction, and I love that for him!
You were such a huge inspiration for me to start doing Stardew content and now you're also an inspiration of how you can change contents and still work out Congrats for the amazing content and I hope you continue to grow!
Love and respect to you, Seanie. I'm a SDV fan, but I like other games, and I like watching videos about games I'm interested in, but will never play. You got to go with your interests; the audience will follow.
I have months of not playing SDV and when I come back to it I hyperfixiate for a while until I don't anymore. But when I do, I rewatch most of your sdv vids while playing and then when I'm not, I watch the other videos. Either way is a win-win.
I see stardew as minecraft. I have a "phase" and then I'm just so full of it I can't take any more. Maybe that's why it was only this year I finished my first and only farm (reached perfection and got bored) with like....2 year gap and it took a 2 week phase where I gained like 100 hours(no joke lol) So super valid, Seanie!
I started watching a couple years ago while hyper focused on Stardew, I have loved your change into other games. You’ve introduced me to so many new fun games that I love! I’m playing grounded because I saw how much fun you had with it and my RUclips wrapped was almost all you 😅
I miss your Stardew videos but after 1000 hours myself, I was sick of playing the game, and it's still probably my favorite game I ever played. I can't believe how it feels as a content creator to continually need to make videos in a game that has a pretty set progression path. Love the new videos!
I cycle between 5-6 games at a time, and that cycle might last months or years. I never want to play a game so much that I get burnt out or hate it, and I don’t want that for anyone. Your favorite games are precious and losing them is criminal. I’ve loved your 100% videos on different games; they’ve been genuinely entertaining, especially on games I’ve never seen before. Subnautica, Terraria, Minecraft and Bendy and the Ink Machine are all fantastic 100%ing journeys, if you like that style of game.
When I first installed Stardew, I was HOOKED and I mean completely ADDICTED playing for 14 hours in a day or something but then I got red dead redemption and stuff and I was hooked to those, after I got perfection I just got bored, decorated my farm house, farm and ginger island home, in total I had 150+ hours on it
Honestly brotha, Im happy for you. Just like this other RUclipsr I watch PrivateLime, I love seeing how happy he is whenever he's NOT playing Project Zomboid. He's mainly known for PZ content, but I honestly think his variety videos are so filled with excitement, just like how he was with his early PZ content. I hope you're happy with the new format bro, I'll continue watching you whilst I eat ramen at 3AM.
I really enjoy the new 100 percent videos! I think the best type of content is the content which the creator enjoys making. So i’m very glad you made this shift to your channel!
Also, I really like the long form content, respectfully it’s something really nice to fall asleep to or watch almost as like a series when I have the time to.
I actually stopped watching you for a while because I could tell you were getting really burnt out on SDV and it didn’t feel as fun to watch you seem so tired I enjoy watching you have fun and experience new things! As long as you’re enjoying making them, we’ll enjoy watching them because we’re here for you!!
Writing before i watched, but i just assumed it was burnout. i wasn't really surprised to notice you stopped uploading stardew. there is only so much content you can make Edit: called it word for word
Never forget: you are the man that you sre today due to the intense character development clayfarming has put you through. (Your videos are very fun to watch and although I came for stardew, I stayed for the personality. It is wonderful to see how you've been thriving and how much fun you seem to have with the path you're waking right now
Honestly, respect. I'm 100%ing casually, and I gotta say, the _Junimo Kart_ 50k points challenge from Mister Qi is slowly killing me. When I finally beat it, I think I might need to take a break from SDV, too, at least for a few months. Burnout is real, and I'm glad you're aware of your mental health enough to be able to step back and say enough when it's enough. 🖤
I've never been much into stardew valley as a game but when I stumbled upon ur content 2 years ago I really loved your energy and wit. I still rewatch some of ur stardew valley content purely bcs of you and the format but I've also been enjoying your 100% vids, I'm happy to see they're well received. Never stop being you I guess lol
I only started watching you within the last year and you quickly became one of my favorite gaming channels. I love the diversity of the games you pick and I'm so glad you decided to switch things up in your content!
This was honestly all very obvious and it is a little bizarre you had to spell it out. But it is nice to hear you talk about it! Your new videos are great and just as hilarious, and all still high quality. And geez, you have made SO many stardew videos, how would you be expected to do that forever?!
i started playing stardew valley 6 months ago and was enthralled with your catalogue of stardew videos as i played. always learning new things while enjoying your content. throughout the past months of watching, i only noticed recently that you havent actually uploaded anything new for it. thats to say that you for sure have uploaded A TON of content that is timeless. now that i've slowed down playing stardew myself, it is very nice to watch newly released video from you as i've come to like you as a creator. thank you seanie for all your past and future content
I've been around since the 5,000 subs. Seanie has grown so much. Its so cool to watch the old stardew videos and the 100% videos are so good. As a person slowly going blind its so funny to listen to seanie losing it over something I do too 😂
I'm glad you branched out, because I would never have found you otherwise! I love your 100% series a lot, and now that I know the Stardew videos are there I guess I have a lot of backlog content to watch 😂 Can't wait to see more, and where you go next!
You seem so happy doing the 100% videos and it's so nice to see! Getting burned out on a game is completely understandable and normal. I watch your videos because you're funny and that shows through best when you enjoy yourself! Keep up the great work. 😊
I think one of the best things is watching how people grow and find new interests/goals. I love Stardew and I always loved your Stardew videos, but I was so excited for you and to watch your 100% videos, especially as I have also been getting a lot more interested in 100%-ing games. I felt like it was a really natural shift, and you ending your Stardew era by getting all achievements kind of smoothly transitioned into the new era, and I thought that was super neat! My biggest hope for you when it comes to Stardew is that you can play 1.6 in your own in your own time and enjoy it casually. And my biggest hope for your channel is that you continue making the videos that satisfy you and allow you to thrive. Because honestly, at least from my perspective, those are the best kinds of videos! (And I definitely agree on rougelikes. I remember thinking one time that you'd probably like Slay the Spire, but even in my initial comment I wasn't even sure how good of a 100% video it would be. Definitely another game to play (or play the sequel, since you completed the first) in your own time for your own enjoyment! Not everything has to be for content, you deserve to chill and play games just because you want to too!)
Good job man, glad for all the SDV content you did make and upload, would love to one day see a casual 1.6 play through, but really just glad to have found your channel no matter what you're playing. Hope you keep having fun with your uploads and enjoying what ever new games your playing and recording to share now :D
Thanks for being so honest and human with your community and fans. Also, thank you for staying. That despise you got tired and burned out that you decided to find a way of making it work for you instead of just leaving. Thanks!! I understand the feeling and I am glad you found something that makes you happy.
I gasped and instantly clicked when I saw the video, gasped even more after seeing my comment had made the video. Thank you for letting us know and looking forward to see what you have planned this year 🥰🥰
Honestly your 100% content has been awesome. I think anyone who can play one game for ever is just- goated. Even with my specific hyperfixations, i rotate them! I play SDV for a few months, then minecraft, then ACNH, with random ones in between. I just wanna see you have fun honestly and i hope SDV brings that for u again someday, even if just something to play personally instead of for content :)
i'm glad you've been able to branch out and make videos that are more enjoyable for you to create! ❤ grateful to your sdv content that led me to your channel but happier to see you doing what's best for you ☺️ hope you enjoy the 1.6 update on your own time whenever you're excited for it
I watched a lot of Stardew valley RUclipss who have moved on and a lot of them who are still making SDV content. I'm like, do what you want to do and be happy. Glad you are still doing well.
It’s always a delight when a creator plays an old favourite but to constantly pester them when it’s pretty obvious they want to do other things isn’t cool. I’m so glad you’re playing games that make you happy, Seanie, and it’s been a lot of fun watching you branch out and 100% titles that excite you.
Stardew certainly was an era i will miss but its much nicer seeing you happy playing other games than burnt out playing the same one. thank you for addressing it
first video of yours Ive seen, but it makes me happy when creators are able to get to a point in their channel to pivot into variety. Im glad you were able to reach that point! much love 🖤
thanks for uploading this video!!! i discovered your content in the past year and i quickly got addicted to your stardew speedrun videos and was hoping for more. I really learnt a lot about stardew from your videos. Plus, i never thought that i would be interested in speedrunning, but your videos gave me an appreciation for the genre. for what you said about there being an "intelligence barrier" in the speedrunning community, what i really liked about your videos is how down to earth you were. You never pretended to be an expert, but you gave an honest effort to every challenge. It made it really easy to root for you (and also got several laughs when something would go wrong). All of this to say: if and when you return to stardew speedruns, i will welcome it with open arms and thank you for the many great videos you have already posted. But i *really* do like the 100% series. I keep my eyes peeled for every new upload. I'm happy that if you are changing content that it is in this direction. Keep up the great work.
Totally understand wanting to expand your horizons, even if im not a content creator I still get burt out on playing the same game over and over again, nevermind if playing that game was my job! I will say that I really love your 100% videos on different games but really I'm down to watch whatever so long as your actually enjoying yourself
honestly I love stardew valley and whenever i get back into it, i love watching your videos, but im really glad you pivoted! it reconnected me to your channel and your recent stuff have been great
as perhaps one of the rare few who doesn't care for stardew or videos about it, i'm glad you branched out because i love your videos and i probably wouldn't have found the channel if it was just stardew.
I loved seeing your transition from Stardew to other games. The way you moved to other games that I would’ve never played, but watched because I already liked your content, has opened my eyes to new games. Excited for the future!
I'm glad the answer was actually the obvious one. Felt woird you made a video about this and thought there was actually a deeper reason no one knew about. Love you're loving it more!
As someone who found you during the peak of the stardew vids (thanks to zhe who should not be named) I think I miss the collabs the most, like you and Lees videos where you dress up are some of my favourites but I completely understand the shift you made and you’ve been putting out consistently amazing content for years! You work extremely hard, put in longer shifts than 9-5s and while I’m not the most skilled gamer but like achievements, it’s really fun to see different games and be like ‘okay yeah that game looks cool I could try that’ or ‘god this is fun to watch but I’d hate to play it’ and I’m just excited to be along for the ride. Keep doing what brings you joy and makes you feel good! While the long ass days do make me a little concerned you’ll get burnt out (I sure would be) if it makes you happy then it’ll (imo) always bring good content. Good luck mate! Keen for what’s to come!
@@jarlbreadmaker if you imagine what drama most disgraced RUclipsrs were part of before being shunned, you can probably guess why the group of Stardew creators is largely disbanded
I found your channel through my brother a few months ago and I've really enjoyed your 100% videos. I went back and watched some of your Stardew videos and enjoyed them, but I think the 100% videos are a lot more fun to watch because you're exploring entirely new things with each game instead of finding new ways to play the same game. Just my thoughts. Love your content and your videos always make me smile.
I started a new job right when 1.6 came out and couldn't play anymore, but I work so fast with your 100% videos in the background, so thanks for catering to my exact personal situation 😁
your stardew era will forever be iconic :) but it was totally and immediately understandable. and i've really enjoyed your newer content i can tell you're having so much more fun. happy 2025 seanie!
I love stardew valley and found you through your stardew content but I am so excited every time you drop a new 2 hour 100% of a game I’ve never heard of. The new videos are so good seanie.
Love your content and humor no matter what Seanie! I’ve been binging your 100% videos and I’m addicted. I still love to go back and watch the sdv stuff too tho, especially while I’m playing it myself
So happy for you that you're able to do something entirely different than what you became famous for and it works out great man. I love watching your current videos just cuz I really enjoy watching you, even if it's about a game I wouldn't be that interested in otherwise, keep it up Seanie!
As much as I have loved your Stardew content, which is how I found your channel in the first place, I've also loved your content in pretty much every other game you've posted since I found you. I wish more people would recognize that if you like a person's videos based on watching them play one game, you'll probably like their videos of them doing other games as well - even if they don't necessarily know or have fond feelings for those games yet. I'd never heard of Inscryption before your 100% video, but not only is that one of the best videos I think you've ever done, but I came out of it loving Inscryption myself because you did such a wonderful job of showcasing what was great about it. (Which is basically everything, tbh.) Of course there's nothing wrong with enjoying videos from a creator about a certain game, but if it's just the game you care about, then it should be easy to move on to someone else doing (in this case) Stardew videos when a creator you follow stops making them. And if it's the creator you like, why not simply follow them through whatever game they're playing to enjoy the same content and personality that you loved with other games? I honestly don't get it, and I'm sorry other people won't leave you alone about That One Game when you've been putting out such great stuff, and such immense effort, that they could enjoy if they were willing to branch out with you. Just know that plenty of us love the non-Stardew stuff you've been doing, and that most people would prefer to see you passionate and engaged in things you're not totally burnt out on. Even the people begging for more Stardew content would probably not be satisfied if you went back to it, since without the same passion or scope of ideas as you had back in your peak Stardew content days, you wouldn't be able to recapture what made those videos so good. Obviously you know this, and you're trying to explain it to the people who don't get it, but some people will just never have the awareness required to understand. But never let them make you doubt what you know is right just because they can't figure it out. As someone who's experienced burnout, you've absolutely made the right call. I can't imagine how tiring the slew of "play Stardew!!!" comments on videos that have nothing to do with Stardew must be, or the way those people choose to ignore all the love and work you've put into those videos that they refuse to even engage with beyond complaining about what they AREN'T, but I hope positive comments like this one will help you shrug them off more easily. Because of course, the internet being the internet, you're probably stuck with commenters like that no matter what you do.
I love your new content more! You're making great videos Seanie! It's always more enjoyable to watch when RUclipsrs are having fun. I personally play games till I get board then I'll randomly get a craving to play them again sometimes even years later.
oh i LOVE the 100% videos theyre so fun! hope to see some thoughts or stardew anything some time in the future but yeah no i love the stuff you've been doing hehe
13:13 this man seriously undermines what he thinks is interesting to us. We’d watch him watch paint try, we just love the character. I say release them 13 hour long tapes to the masses.
I'm just happy to hear that we will eventually get a bunch of isaac content from seanie, and i'm happy he's doing whatever he enjoys doing and avoiding burnout 👍
I found you through your stardew content, but i honestly love your new content more!! You seem a lot happier and its so fun to see you 100% games. You made me actually want to 100% my games instead of playing undertale over and over again. We're all glad youre doing what makes you happy
Being able to break away from a niche and take your channel in new directions is an almost impossible task and it's seriously something to celebrate. Without constant updates or just new things to talk about you were bound to be burned out eventually. I'm glad the site didn't break your soul and you've found success doing other things!
This. This comment made me understand the situation and probably even empathise more on the comment. I just started playing Stardew Valley, like two months in, and I'm so so hooked. Day and night, I'm planning what to do to min-max my gameplay and it's hard to empathise since I've not yet gone to the stage of burnout. However, seeing your comment made me relate all this with Terraria (heyyo Chippy, hope you're fine and well). I've done almost everything in Terraria and it's just nothing there to do, nothing new to do now. I feel burnt out but I still love Terraria to death. It's like that one Danny DeVito meme; Oh, my god. I get it.
I never wanted an explanation video but thank you for making one! I started watching your channel because of Stardew and this video shows that you're loyal to your fan base. I love that you're having fun with new games! When you started branching out to "Don't Starve" the commentary was amazing! I never knew you could build a galarctic empire in "Spore" with turned out lame. Lol. Anyway thanks for playing so many games to perfection. You're just fun to watch!
Appreciate this video only because I miss your personality in stardew content! But I get it. I haven't played in a few months just from casual play. Appreciate all you do! I wasn't sure about the new content, but you're so many funny, I've found new games this way!!
I found you back in the Stardew days and am loving the longer, scripted content! It’s great to watch the first time and then use it to fall asleep to. Honestly, just happy you’re happy with what you’re making nowadays. :)
Big fan, thanks for the great work :) Fwiw, longform videos like playthroughs are fun for the mutual discovery and the shared familiarity. Similar to watching an old sitcom for the nth time, "hanging out" with a creator is itself a joy, even if it's low key or sometimes silent. Parasocial relationships are probably boring for you, but it's nice to, say, wash dishes next to someone who's just dithering around on a game. That and longform is great when you cant sleep at night. Regardless, really appreciate you and you taking care of yourself, glad you've found your next niche :)
Dear Seanie, This is it then. I'm one of the viewers who found you through SDV & who found SDV through you. Even though the shift of your content was obvious, I still didn't accept you leaving. Therefore, I highly appreciate the closure you're providing with this video. I understand and I'm happy for you. Thank you for all the great content in my stardew journey 💚 & I'm looking forward to the nostalgia, when seeing you in another creators community video in a few years 😉
It's definitely something that can get old quickly when you're trying to do everything all the time if that makes sense, this was bound to happen and honestly, I'm a little happy it did because the way your channel has grown has been even better, change is necessary for survival on RUclips after all and I can't wait to see what else is next
I found you during your Stardew phase, and your streams and modded challenges were so fun and still have a special place on my youtube favorites playlist. I also really appreciate your 100% videos because they aren't the kind of games I would actually play myself, so you're giving me the full experience plus your humorous commentary. I'm glad to see you making the videos that you want to make, and that you keep sharing them with us. Thanks, Seanie!
i came for the stardew and i stayed for seanie. i love ur videos and im so glad ur exploring new games and branches genuinely so excited to see what else is in store in the new year
as someone who has made a career out of one of my passions (music therapist) I completely understand the burn out with doing something you love for living. it’s so hard, and I know it’s a little different, but this is your job! you deserve a break and to make the content YOU want, and have fun while doing it!
Seanie is the reason I got back to sdv after 4 years of not playing, and now the reason I 100% many games I previously left because of boredom. It motivated me to complete Webbed, to 100% Man-eater, to play Spore again after 5 years of not playing, etc. I owe this guy a lot 😂
I may have found you due to Stardew Valley but I love your content now just as much, especially since I watch for the jokes and personality more than the games themselves! If you end up coming back to stardew I'm sure we would love it, and if you don't then you at least have me as a loyal viewer. Rock on Seanie
I found your channel when you started doing the 100% games. I've went back and watched your Stardew runs after and saw your humor and still enjoyed them, but I never would have found you if you didn't pivot. To your point growth wouldn't be possible if you had stuck around, so good on you for finding a new path.
As much as I loved your Stardew videos as it's what brought me here way back when you only had 30k on the main channel, I have also gotten burnt out on Stardew after I did perfection in 1.5. So I haven't played much 1.6 either, especially since I've gotten older and even started going to college which has restricted my time. I love the new style of videos, your 100% on slime rancher actually got me to buy the game! And if I ever miss your Stardew content, I know there's a MASSIVE backlog of videos I can go back to. Thank you SeanieDew, for everything.
Seanie you were the first person i had ever watched on Stardew valley and being someone who had never even heard about it was madly interested in how you played. You are the reason I started playing stardew valley and as much as I would love to see you do another 100 days or haboo rouge like mod I’m so happy for you to find new games. I love each one and have made me realize that many games that I thought were boring or bad are amazing I have gotten at least 4 of your 100% games and hope you make it more in 2025 have a great year!❤️
I've been here since the early stardew video I loved them and I love the new videos keep up the great work so excited when a new video comes out so I can watch when I'm supposed to be working
I do love your Stardew videos- that's how I found you. But I also love your other stuff because it introduces me to new games that I might enjoy. It's good to explore other avenues! And if you're inspired by your work and the content you're making, I feel like people will gravitate towards that. Excited for the videos you put out this year!
that's cool i guess, but can you start uploading daily balatro runs
@@SeanieDew Hello Sean.
unironically PLEASE!!!
the way id love to see this actually
PLEASE UPLOAD BALATRO VIDEOS
to be clear i mean the daily balatro run thing
When you told me in like September that you already had the rest of the year and beyond planned out, I was like oh this guy is thriving lmao
oh! haaaiii sal! i love your videos :3
Jesus Christ he said that? My god Seanie is insane.
That was kinda rude my friend
@@Bob12247g How did you take that away from this comment?
We have you for stardew and Seanie for variety. Perfect world
Even as someone who plays Stardew casually, I find myself taking breaks for months or a year at a time. Stardew is an amazing game, but I 100% understand the burn out after playing for so long. Been absolutley loving the 100% videos and I can't wait to see more for you in the future!
Same here. I do the same with Stardew and other games I love. I love RollerCoaster Tycoon, but at times it just gets overwhelming and I would rather play something else. I always come back to them, but I need a break from time to time.
Me too. I played a week full and its been also weeks since since the last time i played it because there's just soo many targets that i feel like it would be a waste if i didn't do it and i was also curious to see the outputs but it's indeed feels exhausting once you're already on a break and thinking about playing back
Yup same i play for a few weeks, grinding for hours a day and then stop for months. Im coming up on my 1 year anniversary of my last save file lmao.
The itch is coming back....
I yearn..
For the mines....
Same when I first bought it I got to game year like 3 or 4 and then didn't play it for 1 or two years haven't played it in like 8 months
Never seen something so true. The game doesn’t seem like something that burns you out, but it does, lol. It’s weird, and you come back to it months later with the same passion as before.
The former Stardew content creator curse will never ever leave you unfortunately, people just cant accept that creators need to be creative and move on. Dangerously funny *still* gets comments asking him to go back and play, and he hasn't played for almost 4 years! Personally, love you recognizing you were getting burnt out and changing directions instead of torturing yourself!
Well when you build your channel around something, what else do you expect fans to do? That's why they're there in the first place.
@@7792pnaurfr that’s a really bad reason sorry
@7792pnaurfr so if you ever get popular on one game, you're not allowed to play any other type of game ever again? Got it.
@@dorakilledboots no its not bro they made a really valid point
It's like that with minecraft, the sims and skyrim, too. People are voracious for that specific brand of content, will subscribe just for that game, and nothing else.
As much as I loved your stardew era I could tell you were getting burnt out, I love all of your uploads and it’s great seeing you branch out haha
When the 100% video came out it felt for me like a little conclusion of Sean just primarily stardew content. I’m loving the new content and I’m more here for his humor and personality now rather than another modded stardew farm
Can you play stardew valley 1.6 plz
Even you? 💀
can you play stardew valley 1.6 plz
How about you do 1.6... I need you and seanie you guys are my all please return for at least a little bit I need you bro :(
ruclips.net/video/DREhlREGlr8/видео.html
😂
Your reasons are all perfectly fair, Seanie. I love seeing your other videos, and if and when you wanna come back to Stardew, we'd love to see it. I'm glad you made this video, and hopefully people will stop being jerks and needling you.
Totally feel this. I enjoy Stardew but once it becomes a chore to 100% with cooking every item, getting every fish, that's when I tap out. Respect to the people that love that but it's the same reason I'll never get too into speedrunning games; it just seems like it'll destroy the casual enjoyment. I'm personally enjoying your 100% videos and other content because there's variety.
i began watching due to stardew valley, but i think the transition away from it was handled well and i've loved your new content since. keep it up, with or without stardew‼️
Agreed
Been watching Sean's growth over the past few years and nothing he said here surprised me. I will say, I personally enjoyed his chainsaw vid and his other wacky ideas! (Still waiting for another floor is lava installment, jk)
Sean really seems like he's thriving in his new direction, and I love that for him!
hi sleepless!!
@mustardandthymecrepes7381 hey Mustard!
You were such a huge inspiration for me to start doing Stardew content and now you're also an inspiration of how you can change contents and still work out
Congrats for the amazing content and I hope you continue to grow!
Love and respect to you, Seanie. I'm a SDV fan, but I like other games, and I like watching videos about games I'm interested in, but will never play. You got to go with your interests; the audience will follow.
I have months of not playing SDV and when I come back to it I hyperfixiate for a while until I don't anymore. But when I do, I rewatch most of your sdv vids while playing and then when I'm not, I watch the other videos. Either way is a win-win.
I see stardew as minecraft. I have a "phase" and then I'm just so full of it I can't take any more. Maybe that's why it was only this year I finished my first and only farm (reached perfection and got bored) with like....2 year gap and it took a 2 week phase where I gained like 100 hours(no joke lol)
So super valid, Seanie!
I started watching a couple years ago while hyper focused on Stardew, I have loved your change into other games. You’ve introduced me to so many new fun games that I love! I’m playing grounded because I saw how much fun you had with it and my RUclips wrapped was almost all you 😅
I miss your Stardew videos but after 1000 hours myself, I was sick of playing the game, and it's still probably my favorite game I ever played. I can't believe how it feels as a content creator to continually need to make videos in a game that has a pretty set progression path. Love the new videos!
I cycle between 5-6 games at a time, and that cycle might last months or years. I never want to play a game so much that I get burnt out or hate it, and I don’t want that for anyone. Your favorite games are precious and losing them is criminal. I’ve loved your 100% videos on different games; they’ve been genuinely entertaining, especially on games I’ve never seen before. Subnautica, Terraria, Minecraft and Bendy and the Ink Machine are all fantastic 100%ing journeys, if you like that style of game.
When I first installed Stardew, I was HOOKED and I mean completely ADDICTED playing for 14 hours in a day or something but then I got red dead redemption and stuff and I was hooked to those, after I got perfection I just got bored, decorated my farm house, farm and ginger island home, in total I had 150+ hours on it
Honestly brotha, Im happy for you.
Just like this other RUclipsr I watch PrivateLime, I love seeing how happy he is whenever he's NOT playing Project Zomboid. He's mainly known for PZ content, but I honestly think his variety videos are so filled with excitement, just like how he was with his early PZ content.
I hope you're happy with the new format bro, I'll continue watching you whilst I eat ramen at 3AM.
I really enjoy the new 100 percent videos! I think the best type of content is the content which the creator enjoys making. So i’m very glad you made this shift to your channel!
Also, I really like the long form content, respectfully it’s something really nice to fall asleep to or watch almost as like a series when I have the time to.
@@lolhehe4949i sleep to seanie all the time he speaks so fast and so consistent it’s great
I actually stopped watching you for a while because I could tell you were getting really burnt out on SDV and it didn’t feel as fun to watch you seem so tired
I enjoy watching you have fun and experience new things! As long as you’re enjoying making them, we’ll enjoy watching them because we’re here for you!!
Writing before i watched, but i just assumed it was burnout. i wasn't really surprised to notice you stopped uploading stardew. there is only so much content you can make
Edit: called it word for word
Especially as Sean was at the forefront of trying all the different mods, most SDV are trying out these mods for the first time recently
Never forget: you are the man that you sre today due to the intense character development clayfarming has put you through.
(Your videos are very fun to watch and although I came for stardew, I stayed for the personality. It is wonderful to see how you've been thriving and how much fun you seem to have with the path you're waking right now
Honestly, respect. I'm 100%ing casually, and I gotta say, the _Junimo Kart_ 50k points challenge from Mister Qi is slowly killing me. When I finally beat it, I think I might need to take a break from SDV, too, at least for a few months. Burnout is real, and I'm glad you're aware of your mental health enough to be able to step back and say enough when it's enough. 🖤
I've never been much into stardew valley as a game but when I stumbled upon ur content 2 years ago I really loved your energy and wit. I still rewatch some of ur stardew valley content purely bcs of you and the format but I've also been enjoying your 100% vids, I'm happy to see they're well received.
Never stop being you I guess lol
Thankful for the SDV content you made and all the collabs/competitions because I found such great creators from it ^^
I only started watching you within the last year and you quickly became one of my favorite gaming channels. I love the diversity of the games you pick and I'm so glad you decided to switch things up in your content!
I wasn’t sure I was interested in the 100%-style videos but you had me hooked from the first one. I’m excited to see what else you play next!
This was honestly all very obvious and it is a little bizarre you had to spell it out. But it is nice to hear you talk about it! Your new videos are great and just as hilarious, and all still high quality. And geez, you have made SO many stardew videos, how would you be expected to do that forever?!
i started playing stardew valley 6 months ago and was enthralled with your catalogue of stardew videos as i played. always learning new things while enjoying your content. throughout the past months of watching, i only noticed recently that you havent actually uploaded anything new for it. thats to say that you for sure have uploaded A TON of content that is timeless. now that i've slowed down playing stardew myself, it is very nice to watch newly released video from you as i've come to like you as a creator. thank you seanie for all your past and future content
I've been around since the 5,000 subs. Seanie has grown so much. Its so cool to watch the old stardew videos and the 100% videos are so good. As a person slowly going blind its so funny to listen to seanie losing it over something I do too 😂
I'm glad you branched out, because I would never have found you otherwise! I love your 100% series a lot, and now that I know the Stardew videos are there I guess I have a lot of backlog content to watch 😂 Can't wait to see more, and where you go next!
You seem so happy doing the 100% videos and it's so nice to see! Getting burned out on a game is completely understandable and normal. I watch your videos because you're funny and that shows through best when you enjoy yourself! Keep up the great work. 😊
I think one of the best things is watching how people grow and find new interests/goals. I love Stardew and I always loved your Stardew videos, but I was so excited for you and to watch your 100% videos, especially as I have also been getting a lot more interested in 100%-ing games. I felt like it was a really natural shift, and you ending your Stardew era by getting all achievements kind of smoothly transitioned into the new era, and I thought that was super neat! My biggest hope for you when it comes to Stardew is that you can play 1.6 in your own in your own time and enjoy it casually. And my biggest hope for your channel is that you continue making the videos that satisfy you and allow you to thrive. Because honestly, at least from my perspective, those are the best kinds of videos!
(And I definitely agree on rougelikes. I remember thinking one time that you'd probably like Slay the Spire, but even in my initial comment I wasn't even sure how good of a 100% video it would be. Definitely another game to play (or play the sequel, since you completed the first) in your own time for your own enjoyment! Not everything has to be for content, you deserve to chill and play games just because you want to too!)
Good job man, glad for all the SDV content you did make and upload, would love to one day see a casual 1.6 play through, but really just glad to have found your channel no matter what you're playing. Hope you keep having fun with your uploads and enjoying what ever new games your playing and recording to share now :D
Thanks for being so honest and human with your community and fans. Also, thank you for staying. That despise you got tired and burned out that you decided to find a way of making it work for you instead of just leaving. Thanks!! I understand the feeling and I am glad you found something that makes you happy.
Understandable seanie. I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the expand on your content, I’ll watch no matter what just bc I like your content
It's okay Seanie! Play what you like
I gasped and instantly clicked when I saw the video, gasped even more after seeing my comment had made the video. Thank you for letting us know and looking forward to see what you have planned this year 🥰🥰
Honestly your 100% content has been awesome. I think anyone who can play one game for ever is just- goated. Even with my specific hyperfixations, i rotate them! I play SDV for a few months, then minecraft, then ACNH, with random ones in between.
I just wanna see you have fun honestly and i hope SDV brings that for u again someday, even if just something to play personally instead of for content :)
I miss your stardew content but i love that you are able to expand your channel and are still here ❤
i'm glad you've been able to branch out and make videos that are more enjoyable for you to create! ❤ grateful to your sdv content that led me to your channel but happier to see you doing what's best for you ☺️ hope you enjoy the 1.6 update on your own time whenever you're excited for it
I watched a lot of Stardew valley RUclipss who have moved on and a lot of them who are still making SDV content. I'm like, do what you want to do and be happy. Glad you are still doing well.
i LOVE watching the other games and your scripts are always SO well written!! you seem to be thriving so keep doing what you love to do
I am honestly so glad you branched out. i adore your 100% videos as i also like 100%ing games and your content has definitely gotten better
It’s always a delight when a creator plays an old favourite but to constantly pester them when it’s pretty obvious they want to do other things isn’t cool. I’m so glad you’re playing games that make you happy, Seanie, and it’s been a lot of fun watching you branch out and 100% titles that excite you.
I’m glad you’re spreading your horizon to games! You sound much more animated and happy recently too :3
I absolutely love your new style of content and I want you to be happy with what you’re doing so I support this 100%
Stardew certainly was an era i will miss but its much nicer seeing you happy playing other games than burnt out playing the same one. thank you for addressing it
I absolutely ove your new content. Stardew drew me to you, but you will never lose me with your new content! Keep up the good work!!!!
first video of yours Ive seen, but it makes me happy when creators are able to get to a point in their channel to pivot into variety. Im glad you were able to reach that point! much love 🖤
thanks for uploading this video!!! i discovered your content in the past year and i quickly got addicted to your stardew speedrun videos and was hoping for more. I really learnt a lot about stardew from your videos. Plus, i never thought that i would be interested in speedrunning, but your videos gave me an appreciation for the genre.
for what you said about there being an "intelligence barrier" in the speedrunning community, what i really liked about your videos is how down to earth you were. You never pretended to be an expert, but you gave an honest effort to every challenge. It made it really easy to root for you (and also got several laughs when something would go wrong).
All of this to say: if and when you return to stardew speedruns, i will welcome it with open arms and thank you for the many great videos you have already posted. But i *really* do like the 100% series. I keep my eyes peeled for every new upload. I'm happy that if you are changing content that it is in this direction. Keep up the great work.
We love you seanie. I enjoy going back to your sdv videos, but whatever you want to do in the future, well be there :)
Totally understand wanting to expand your horizons, even if im not a content creator I still get burt out on playing the same game over and over again, nevermind if playing that game was my job! I will say that I really love your 100% videos on different games but really I'm down to watch whatever so long as your actually enjoying yourself
honestly I love stardew valley and whenever i get back into it, i love watching your videos, but im really glad you pivoted! it reconnected me to your channel and your recent stuff have been great
as perhaps one of the rare few who doesn't care for stardew or videos about it, i'm glad you branched out because i love your videos and i probably wouldn't have found the channel if it was just stardew.
I loved seeing your transition from Stardew to other games. The way you moved to other games that I would’ve never played, but watched because I already liked your content, has opened my eyes to new games. Excited for the future!
I'm glad the answer was actually the obvious one. Felt woird you made a video about this and thought there was actually a deeper reason no one knew about. Love you're loving it more!
As someone who found you during the peak of the stardew vids (thanks to zhe who should not be named) I think I miss the collabs the most, like you and Lees videos where you dress up are some of my favourites but I completely understand the shift you made and you’ve been putting out consistently amazing content for years! You work extremely hard, put in longer shifts than 9-5s and while I’m not the most skilled gamer but like achievements, it’s really fun to see different games and be like ‘okay yeah that game looks cool I could try that’ or ‘god this is fun to watch but I’d hate to play it’ and I’m just excited to be along for the ride. Keep doing what brings you joy and makes you feel good!
While the long ass days do make me a little concerned you’ll get burnt out (I sure would be) if it makes you happy then it’ll (imo) always bring good content.
Good luck mate! Keen for what’s to come!
What happened with the one who should not be named? I missed all of it cause I only distantly actually followed a lot of Stardew people.
@@jarlbreadmaker if you imagine what drama most disgraced RUclipsrs were part of before being shunned, you can probably guess why the group of Stardew creators is largely disbanded
wait wut who are you talking about lol
I found your channel through my brother a few months ago and I've really enjoyed your 100% videos. I went back and watched some of your Stardew videos and enjoyed them, but I think the 100% videos are a lot more fun to watch because you're exploring entirely new things with each game instead of finding new ways to play the same game. Just my thoughts. Love your content and your videos always make me smile.
Thank you Seanie! I'm happy that you will continue to make content and look forward to what you release in 2025.
I played do much stardew valley that I got burnt out for like a year and I still very slightly am
love you seannie!! thanks for taking the time to explain it
I started a new job right when 1.6 came out and couldn't play anymore, but I work so fast with your 100% videos in the background, so thanks for catering to my exact personal situation 😁
your stardew era will forever be iconic :) but it was totally and immediately understandable. and i've really enjoyed your newer content i can tell you're having so much more fun. happy 2025 seanie!
I love stardew valley and found you through your stardew content but I am so excited every time you drop a new 2 hour 100% of a game I’ve never heard of. The new videos are so good seanie.
I really like your 100% videos!! You’re having fun (and sometimes suffer) and it shows!
Love your content and humor no matter what Seanie! I’ve been binging your 100% videos and I’m addicted.
I still love to go back and watch the sdv stuff too tho, especially while I’m playing it myself
I loved your Stardew videos, but I love your new videos too, just do what makes you happy
So happy for you that you're able to do something entirely different than what you became famous for and it works out great man. I love watching your current videos just cuz I really enjoy watching you, even if it's about a game I wouldn't be that interested in otherwise, keep it up Seanie!
As much as I have loved your Stardew content, which is how I found your channel in the first place, I've also loved your content in pretty much every other game you've posted since I found you. I wish more people would recognize that if you like a person's videos based on watching them play one game, you'll probably like their videos of them doing other games as well - even if they don't necessarily know or have fond feelings for those games yet. I'd never heard of Inscryption before your 100% video, but not only is that one of the best videos I think you've ever done, but I came out of it loving Inscryption myself because you did such a wonderful job of showcasing what was great about it. (Which is basically everything, tbh.)
Of course there's nothing wrong with enjoying videos from a creator about a certain game, but if it's just the game you care about, then it should be easy to move on to someone else doing (in this case) Stardew videos when a creator you follow stops making them. And if it's the creator you like, why not simply follow them through whatever game they're playing to enjoy the same content and personality that you loved with other games? I honestly don't get it, and I'm sorry other people won't leave you alone about That One Game when you've been putting out such great stuff, and such immense effort, that they could enjoy if they were willing to branch out with you.
Just know that plenty of us love the non-Stardew stuff you've been doing, and that most people would prefer to see you passionate and engaged in things you're not totally burnt out on. Even the people begging for more Stardew content would probably not be satisfied if you went back to it, since without the same passion or scope of ideas as you had back in your peak Stardew content days, you wouldn't be able to recapture what made those videos so good. Obviously you know this, and you're trying to explain it to the people who don't get it, but some people will just never have the awareness required to understand. But never let them make you doubt what you know is right just because they can't figure it out. As someone who's experienced burnout, you've absolutely made the right call.
I can't imagine how tiring the slew of "play Stardew!!!" comments on videos that have nothing to do with Stardew must be, or the way those people choose to ignore all the love and work you've put into those videos that they refuse to even engage with beyond complaining about what they AREN'T, but I hope positive comments like this one will help you shrug them off more easily. Because of course, the internet being the internet, you're probably stuck with commenters like that no matter what you do.
I love your new content more! You're making great videos Seanie! It's always more enjoyable to watch when RUclipsrs are having fun.
I personally play games till I get board then I'll randomly get a craving to play them again sometimes even years later.
oh i LOVE the 100% videos theyre so fun! hope to see some thoughts or stardew anything some time in the future but yeah no i love the stuff you've been doing hehe
13:13 this man seriously undermines what he thinks is interesting to us. We’d watch him watch paint try, we just love the character. I say release them 13 hour long tapes to the masses.
I'm just happy to hear that we will eventually get a bunch of isaac content from seanie, and i'm happy he's doing whatever he enjoys doing and avoiding burnout 👍
Love your videos! Make content that makes you happy!!!
I found you through your stardew content, but i honestly love your new content more!! You seem a lot happier and its so fun to see you 100% games. You made me actually want to 100% my games instead of playing undertale over and over again. We're all glad youre doing what makes you happy
Being able to break away from a niche and take your channel in new directions is an almost impossible task and it's seriously something to celebrate.
Without constant updates or just new things to talk about you were bound to be burned out eventually. I'm glad the site didn't break your soul and you've found success doing other things!
This. This comment made me understand the situation and probably even empathise more on the comment.
I just started playing Stardew Valley, like two months in, and I'm so so hooked. Day and night, I'm planning what to do to min-max my gameplay and it's hard to empathise since I've not yet gone to the stage of burnout.
However, seeing your comment made me relate all this with Terraria (heyyo Chippy, hope you're fine and well). I've done almost everything in Terraria and it's just nothing there to do, nothing new to do now. I feel burnt out but I still love Terraria to death.
It's like that one Danny DeVito meme; Oh, my god. I get it.
I never wanted an explanation video but thank you for making one! I started watching your channel because of Stardew and this video shows that you're loyal to your fan base. I love that you're having fun with new games! When you started branching out to "Don't Starve" the commentary was amazing! I never knew you could build a galarctic empire in "Spore" with turned out lame. Lol. Anyway thanks for playing so many games to perfection. You're just fun to watch!
Appreciate this video only because I miss your personality in stardew content! But I get it. I haven't played in a few months just from casual play. Appreciate all you do! I wasn't sure about the new content, but you're so many funny, I've found new games this way!!
I found you back in the Stardew days and am loving the longer, scripted content! It’s great to watch the first time and then use it to fall asleep to. Honestly, just happy you’re happy with what you’re making nowadays. :)
Big fan, thanks for the great work :)
Fwiw, longform videos like playthroughs are fun for the mutual discovery and the shared familiarity. Similar to watching an old sitcom for the nth time, "hanging out" with a creator is itself a joy, even if it's low key or sometimes silent. Parasocial relationships are probably boring for you, but it's nice to, say, wash dishes next to someone who's just dithering around on a game. That and longform is great when you cant sleep at night. Regardless, really appreciate you and you taking care of yourself, glad you've found your next niche :)
Dear Seanie,
This is it then. I'm one of the viewers who found you through SDV & who found SDV through you. Even though the shift of your content was obvious, I still didn't accept you leaving. Therefore, I highly appreciate the closure you're providing with this video. I understand and I'm happy for you.
Thank you for all the great content in my stardew journey 💚 & I'm looking forward to the nostalgia, when seeing you in another creators community video in a few years 😉
huge respect to you and huge fan of your content 😄
It's definitely something that can get old quickly when you're trying to do everything all the time if that makes sense, this was bound to happen and honestly, I'm a little happy it did because the way your channel has grown has been even better, change is necessary for survival on RUclips after all and I can't wait to see what else is next
I found you during your Stardew phase, and your streams and modded challenges were so fun and still have a special place on my youtube favorites playlist. I also really appreciate your 100% videos because they aren't the kind of games I would actually play myself, so you're giving me the full experience plus your humorous commentary. I'm glad to see you making the videos that you want to make, and that you keep sharing them with us. Thanks, Seanie!
i came for the stardew and i stayed for seanie. i love ur videos and im so glad ur exploring new games and branches genuinely so excited to see what else is in store in the new year
I personally have the most fun watching a video when the person making it had fun. I'm glad you've found a niche that's fun for you ^^
as someone who has made a career out of one of my passions (music therapist) I completely understand the burn out with doing something you love for living. it’s so hard, and I know it’s a little different, but this is your job! you deserve a break and to make the content YOU want, and have fun while doing it!
Seanie is the reason I got back to sdv after 4 years of not playing, and now the reason I 100% many games I previously left because of boredom. It motivated me to complete Webbed, to 100% Man-eater, to play Spore again after 5 years of not playing, etc. I owe this guy a lot 😂
I may have found you due to Stardew Valley but I love your content now just as much, especially since I watch for the jokes and personality more than the games themselves! If you end up coming back to stardew I'm sure we would love it, and if you don't then you at least have me as a loyal viewer. Rock on Seanie
I found your channel when you started doing the 100% games. I've went back and watched your Stardew runs after and saw your humor and still enjoyed them, but I never would have found you if you didn't pivot. To your point growth wouldn't be possible if you had stuck around, so good on you for finding a new path.
Discovered you during the Stardew era but the transition was so seamless and the 100% content scratches my brain. I love the variety!
As much as I loved your Stardew videos as it's what brought me here way back when you only had 30k on the main channel, I have also gotten burnt out on Stardew after I did perfection in 1.5. So I haven't played much 1.6 either, especially since I've gotten older and even started going to college which has restricted my time. I love the new style of videos, your 100% on slime rancher actually got me to buy the game! And if I ever miss your Stardew content, I know there's a MASSIVE backlog of videos I can go back to. Thank you SeanieDew, for everything.
Honestly, I love your new content and even if I’m missing your Stardew content, I can go watch your old videos.
happy to have found you through stardew, equally as happy to find new other games through you. come for the sdv stay for the seanie
Seanie you were the first person i had ever watched on Stardew valley and being someone who had never even heard about it was madly interested in how you played. You are the reason I started playing stardew valley and as much as I would love to see you do another 100 days or haboo rouge like mod I’m so happy for you to find new games. I love each one and have made me realize that many games that I thought were boring or bad are amazing I have gotten at least 4 of your 100% games and hope you make it more in 2025 have a great year!❤️
I've been here since the early stardew video I loved them and I love the new videos keep up the great work so excited when a new video comes out so I can watch when I'm supposed to be working
I do love your Stardew videos- that's how I found you. But I also love your other stuff because it introduces me to new games that I might enjoy. It's good to explore other avenues! And if you're inspired by your work and the content you're making, I feel like people will gravitate towards that. Excited for the videos you put out this year!
