This is a really important video talking about how RUclips's recent changes have affected both myself and this channel. If you're a subscriber to my channel, I really recommend that you give it a watch. Thank you, guys.
I've been with you for quite a few years now. I want to thank you for providing us with all these quality let's plays. I wish I had the ability to provide monetary support but unfortunately I can only watch the videos. Here's to a few more years and a healthy career.
Don't believe listen to them, Nico! Please stay with us! Your voices are incredibly amazing and hilarious at the same time! I even love your reactions! Please stay with us! I want you to continue on with your channel!
Nico B I first watched it you play Zero Escape every since then I wanted to support you for the very end so whatever happens I will still support you no matter what😊
One of the best parts of being Picky Penguins. Such a great community. Not to mention stuff like this that shows just how much Nico cares about making sure everyone has a great time. Now back to catching up on that two month backlog of Nico content-
Nico died that day. *tiny penguin raises hand* So, did that solve his financial problems? P.S. Sorry. The temptation of dark humour is just too great. T^T Live long and prosper, NicoBizzle the DinoSizzle.
FirstRisingSouI Damn, that's actually really heartwarming EDIT: I took the time to scroll down the comments. The entire comment section is a dumping ground for good feelings.
Welp. Time to add another Patreon subscription. Nico will go right under my donations to hentai monster girl visual novel creators. EDIT: Alright, I'm set for $20 a month. Keep the dream alive, Nico-sama!
Nico, It's been about 5 years now for which you've been part of my daily routine and I don't see that changing anytime soon either. You have built yourself an amazing community with many many longtime viewers like me, and even more new faces enjoying your work and community. Every day you make us smile with jokes, funny voices, ad libs, fun games, and your own personality. But it's more than that. When things are gloomy your videos help us make it better. Some of us go through tough times, and you dedicating your time and spirit towards making things better for those who need it is admirable. You've always stayed true to yourself Nico, and I believe I speak for all of us when I say that we appreciate it and don't want you to change. You might see a Patreon as asking for money, but we see it as a chance to give back for years upon years of joy. I know many Penguins who have expressed the wish for a Patreon, or just some way of showing their appreciation. That wouldn't be the case if you didn't deserve it. You have built a large but very tight community, both in the comments, streams, and the Discord. And as someone who reads next to all comments for moderation and runs the Discord, I can't even tell you who proud I am of the community. RUclips might change, and problems arise, but we're all still one big family, and we'll get through it. Both you and us Penguins, together.
Yeah, you're officially the first creator I give support on Patreon. The way you speak about how reluctant you were over starting one (and the reasons why), the honesty and humility concerning the lack of said "rewards" other than your usual content make it clear for me: you are doing this because you really need it, and not to just get some cash in from the fanbase. So, no shame on that, I say! As a silent viewer I've been here for a couple of years, enticed by your amazing work as a Lplayer. And to me, a non native english speaker, say that, it's because I really mean it lol. Keep doing your shit cause the Picky Penguins will always back you up, one way or another!
Hey man, your awsome I love you and your content. I unfortunately can't donate to patron but I'll support you in anyway I can. And please don't censor yourself.
Hey Nico! I know this comment might not reach you, but I just want you to know that I love watching your videos. I love alot of the games that you play, but even if I dont like the game I still watch them because of your personality! Please please do not censor yourself just to meet RUclipss guidelines. You are literally one of my top three youtubers to watch! Keep going, and know that we all love your content!~
Same here. At first I kind of pegged Nico as just another loud "LOL random" RUclipsr, but as I've watched more of his videos I've come to recognize that despite often dipping into a lot of goofy humor with his videos he does actually tend to analyze and appreciate the games he plays rather than just talk over them, as well as interact with his fanbase frequently.
Yeah, I was introduced to his channel through Ace Attorney. At first, I thought he wasn’t taking the game seriously and was just making dumb jokes. Eventually though, I saw that it was just his way of having fun with a game and eventually had me laughing with him.
he literaly uploaded the video 20 minutes ago and he already has almost $400 per month on patreon, that really shows how much everyone loves Nico!!! inlcuding myself obviously, but yeah dont ever feel bad for making a patreon or making money, as you can see a lot of people was already trying to support you no matter what EDIT: WOW OK almost $1000 in half an hour, oh god this is amazing EDIT 2: almost 2 hours and we're at 555 patrons with $2,222 lmaoooo lucky numberzzzzz
@@petiteluka9372 they do watch over the comments, but they do not delete the criticism, unless this guy is being toxic as hell or spoiling stuff for the hell of it. So don't make them out to be Nico's inquisitors
Then pray tell why can I see your comment just fine? If it was deleted or "Flagged" it should've been taken down, but it's not. It still stays there, in plain sight. I tried your method and I can still see your comment. Hell, I can even link you the screenshot imgur.com/KbwLSdj
Nico, the Picky Penguin family supports you no matter what! We know that you aren't trying to con us or leech money off us; you just want to be able to keep doing the job that you love: Providing wonderful entertainment to us Picky Penguins. We'll continue to be there for you, so go ahead and ask whatever you need from us without worry; we know you'll never abuse our trust. Stay Classy :D
Nico is so _non-aggressive_ with Patreon right now that it's kind of adorable. Look at the video's description. Become a Picky Penguin! *Yes. Become one.* Get your own Picky Penguin plushie! *Yes. Buy one.* Patreon. It's not phrased as a command (e.g. Support me on Patreon!). It's not even a strong suggestion, (e.g. If you support me, then I can continue doing what I love.). *shakes head in disbelief* So pure. He's the biggest cinnamon bun of them all. T^T
Bro you're the main reason I got into so many wonderful fandoms and you're literally one of my favorite RUclips. RUclips just doesnt get it. They do not know true content. Keep fighting, Nico! Your picky penguin, including me, are there for you too! And as always, stay classy!
Patreon, dude! It's not asking for money, we WANT to support you because we LOVE your content. We don't want you to change and we can see that you don't want to either. Some of us have been here, watching you, since the very beginning, keep being you, that's what we came here for. Much love, Nico. From Lucas, a Picky Penguin.
Nico, you deserve so many more subscribers than you have. You're just a precious cinnamon bun of a guy. I've really enjoyed the LP of the more mature games you've played (Yakuza being one of my favs) and it's what brought me to the channel. I could do with you swearing less but that's just my personal beliefs. I didn't realize you streamed on Twitch, I'll go see if I can find you on there. Can you add that link to your video description too?
I personally believe he should stay around this amount of subscribers. I love him, and I plan to support the dude as soon as I'm able. Large numbers change people - and it's honestly just a lot better for him not to go mainstream. The picky penguins is a loving community - and large numbers changes that too. That being said, I agree with the sentiment of him deserving lots more of stuff.
THIS MESSAGE is FROM tryannick deep in the comments it's importent for NICOB to see this .... pass it on so he KNOWS (( Just an FYI on Pateron you’re not allowed to have giveaways as benefits. Patreon sees it as gambling. )) NICOB PLEASE FIND THIS I don't want your PATREON removed it's too IMPORTENT
Hey there, thank you for informing me of this. I looked it up, and you're definitely right, they discourage raffles and giveaways. That said, it seems if it's something that I offer to everyone (not just my patrons), it should be fine, which is honestly what I intended to do. So we should be alright. I'll make sure to specify that in my goals though. Thank you!
Honestly, all these RUclips changes are making me worried about the future of this platform. Not only that, for years ive wanted to become a youtuber myself but again, these changes kinda make that dream difficult. Hopefully (or if) that time comes these changes will be somewhat resolved.
The simple fact that someone who has been on youtube for years, uploads regularly and has a passionate fanbase like Nico can't even affors to survive with youtube alone anymore, truly proves how bullshit this platform has become. I suggest you don't become a youtuber but find another platform to work with. RUclips doesn't even deserve to be supported. And if I don't use adblock it's because I want to help the people I follow, not because I think RUclips is worth even a penny.
It's alright Nico, you deserve this. Don't think of it as "asking your fans for money", you're giving your fans a chance to actively support your work so they can keep enjoying it for years to come, so you're not forced to quit to make a living elsewhere. I understand the sentiment, though, but I'm sure a good share of your fanbase would more than gladly squeeze a penny to lend you a hand, so don't worry about it. It's not mandatory, it's done out of love, you needn't feel bad about it.
You know, I really only subscribed for all of your Kingdom Hearts content at first. But the more I watched, the more I realized I genuinely enjoyed spending time with you and everyone else in the comments. You were funny, you were entertaining to watch, and you put a lot of effort into all of your videos. I have a lot of respect for you, and I'm really sorry that RUclips has been making things difficult for you lately. If I had the funds, I would absolutely want to donate. I can't now, but if my situation ever changes, I would definitely support you. I'm proud to be a Picky Penguin and I can't wait to see what you'll do next!
I have known you since Danganronpa 2. I value watching your videos and think you are an amazing person. I will support you wherever you go. Sucks you have been hit with this stuff.
While I was watching this video, I pulled up Patreon to read through it myself. When I first clicked on the link the amount was at $108 a month. By the time I finished watching your video, the Patreon had already exceeded its first goal. This is one of the greatest communities on RUclips and I'm so glad to be a part of it. Once money gets a little more stable with college and everything I think I'll try and donate too. It's definitely worth it. Thank you for all the videos Nico. Best of luck with your channel.
*AND RUclips STRIKES AGAIN!!* How am I not surprised?! God, this is getting really annoying! Don't worry Nico!! I'd prefer the real you over you changing! I'd definitely look into sponsoring you!
@KingShoter007 REALLY?! REALLY?! THEN WHY THE FUCK DID THEY TAKE AWAY OUR CURSING BADGES?! THEY SHOULD AT LEAST LET US CURSE AND JUST TELL THOSE SJWS TO FUCK OFF!!!!
This channel is a small oasis, somewhere you can visit to just let go of your worries and lose yourself. It's actually baffling to me how you manage to be so cheery and upbeat for 7 damned years. Seven years and I haven't gotten bored of your crappy puns and your silly attitude. Things get busy as you grow up and I don't have the time to watch these videos nowadays. I still follow the Yakuza series, watching a bit of Persona here and there. But I still look back to the days of Dangan Ronpa, Persona 4 and Phoenix Wright. These videos are my memories. I watch them and remember all the game's characters -- and Nico's one of them. He shares these memories with me, and we've been through all the highs and lows together. Watching this video I realize how big of an impact you had on me growing up. All the memories, all the smiles and laughters for free. Convenient, reliable, at the comfort of my room. Watching this, it makes me wonder why I never bothered to think of you behind the screen. How do you earn income? How do you support your life? How much work and effort are you really putting into this channel and does it tire you? Now I know. I've landed a job this August and got my first income. It's time that I repay you for what you had done for me throughout these years, both as gratitude and support. Thank you dearly, my friend.
Pretty much. No competition means no incentive to get better and that they think they can do whatever they want. RUclips is the textbook example of the negative effects of a monopoly.
Thankfully though, Nico hasn't gotten the "Lost Pause treatment" as of yet... Poor guy had his channel shut down twice without having done anything to deserve it.
Nico, I cannot in any easy way explain how much you, your videos, and the Picky Penguins mean to me. I have been following you since the days of Persona 4 Golden, and since then there has not been a day when I have not been excited to watch a new video of yours. You have introduced me to so many of my favorite games, and works of fiction.Everything from Persona and Yakuza, to Danganronpa, Zero Escape, and several more. Because of this I have met a lot of wonderful people, within and outside this community. Without you, I would probably never met a lot of people or experienced a lot of the things that I have, and for that I am so unbelievably grateful. Every new Let´s Play really is the start of something exciting every time, and you manage making games I normally would not care for at all into hugely enjoyable experiences. That alone, I think speaks volumes to how good your content is, what a great community you have built up over the years. No other creator makes me as happy and excited as you do, they really don´t. I don´t think I have seen a internet community like the Picky Penguins, so tightly nit and so immensely passionate and driven. And I have never seen another let´s player like you, with your great viewer interaction and unique style created by your amazing collection of voices, which in themselves gives the channel and content so much heart, and so many fun jokes that could only be possible in your videos . There are honestly pretty few things I consider to be part of my everyday routine, but your videos has a place there, and is almost always one of the absolute highlights. The thing I want to thank you for most of all, is the way you positively affect my mental health. Ever since about a year ago, I have been gradually developing worse and worse anxiety, something I have never had before at all. I honestly cannot even begin to count the amount of times where I have been feeling so lost, sad and afraid, not knowing what to do, and then having your daily video arrive, and after about an hour, the worries has settled significantly. So many of the nights where I have my anxiety attacks, your videos are one of the things that really manages to calm me down, making my often obsessively negative and destructive thoughts in those moments fade, replaced with all the wonderfulness of you and your content. As cheesy as it may sound, you have helped and saved me too many times to even count, and I am grateful beyond words for that. I will give what I can to the Patreon, even if it´s not all that much, because you honestly deserve it, and there is no one I´d rather donate to, to be honest. And if it´s something I know, it´s that the Picky Penguins will come together to support you, and make this work. Thanks again for everything you do, Nico. Stay classy.
Nico, you have given me hours upon hours of entertainment. I've been watching you for well over 5 years now. I just graduated college and I am now earning a good yearly salary. It would bring me so much joy to be able to support my favorite content creator. You are truly an amazing person! I am glad to be a member of this community! :)
Seriously Nico, thanks for being honest with us. I feel like it’s becoming harder to connect with my favorite youtubers as they become more and more company-like, but you’ve always been really frank with us picky penguins. I’ve never felt motivated to support a youtuber on patreon but I think this is the first time I’ve been motivated to use it. (Which is ironic since there aren’t any physical rewards or anything) I definitely plan on supporting you on patreon. (it might not be right away though) I hope things get a little better and if a dollar a month will help you out, I am happy to help. Hang in there Nico, and stay awesome.
Didn't even watch. I knew this was coming. I only opened the video to get to the Patreon link and pledge. It's always a pleasure to support (when I can) (Small edit : i went back to see what were your pledge goals (and i love them) and wow people are reacting fast with their pledges.)
I immediately jumped in the description and chose to pay you. I've never done this before but honestly,you deserve it. Where I live your videos always release right in the evening so they are always a great way to calm down from the stress of life. So thank you,you're great! (Once I get my hand on more money I'll also try to do more than 1 Dollar a month.)
It's really sad that RUclips continues to use their bullsh*t powers in a way that screws over their content creators. (Judge voice in the background: "And not the good bullsh*t like from my beloved Komaeda") But in all reality I've always been a devoted picky penguin ever since I discovered your first Danganronpa series. I typically just supported you by watching your videos behind the scenes. But seeing that you're going through a rough patch, I hope to be able to support your new Patreon. I think the way you went about it is good, since it'll allow us to support you but not distant those who can't. In the end we're all here for you Nico and we won't let RUclips knock down our Emperor Penguin (you by the way, haha) cheers!
Honestly I'm still blown away by how genuine you always are. I first started watching your channel because I was thirsty for a V3 blind playthrough, and I initially assumed you were just another OTT youtuber. But it quickly became obvious that you're so much more than that. You listen to your community and respond thoroughly to pretty much every major comment in the next video, you show appreciation and give nuanced opinions to the games you play (I always get excited to hear your overall opinions at the end of an LP), you spend a ton of effort on your voices and other content such as council of voices, you never use dishonest tricks on your fans (which I've sadly seen a lot of on youtube and has lead me to unsubscribe from many, many channels), you're a completionist that tries to explore every nook and cranny of every game you play... honestly I don't think I could ask for any more. I won't be able to offer much on patreon since I'm a student, but I'll still try to give something. You deserve far more than youtube gives you tbh.
Nico, I may be extremely poor so I can’t, but I can still support you. Your Danganronpa series are amazing and I’m excited for the content awaiting. I’m a recent subscriber and I haven’t regretted doing just that.
Nico, I know that I don’t comment a lot, but I just wanted to say: thank you. Seriously, you don’t realize how your videos make me laugh in my most depressing and stressful days. I would be more than glad to be there for and support you, as a thank you for being such a delightful person. I love that you care so much for us and interact with us in your videos, I have never seen any other RUclipsr (or any person of fame, really) care this much and having fun with their community. You deserve the best for all the hard work you do and for being passionate all these years. So I will gladly support your pateron!
Patreon is good for you and your supporters, you could always make a poll for the next game for you to do a Let’s Play as a feature on Patreon. I like you as you are now, please don’t change who you are for RUclips.
I wouldn't want Patreon subscribers to dictate the course of his LPs, even if it was only unofficial and not a deciding factor. I intend to support him, because I can right now, but I know there are times when I couldn't and probably more times in the future where I can't, and I know I would hate feeling like my opinions on new LPs were less important just because I wasn't giving him money. And I don't think Nico wants that either.
Hey my dude... during a time like this, I feel as though it's time for some, you know... encouragement. I love your content... bit of a bland statement huh? Well let me expand upon that. I was recently introduced to your channel through the DR fandom -help me, I am wallowing in despair pls- and I made friends through your content. Now, you're probably thinking that "well it's normal to get friends in high school-" -no, it isn't. I didn't have friends and my sisters were busy with life and family. It was hard for me to make friends due to my severe distrust towards others. I fell into a depression after my grandmother passed away... that's when I found your content through watching the DR anime and playing the game. You made me feel emotions again, you made me get off my behavioural pills and realise a brighter side to life -even so I was in the despairing DR fandom XD. So please, don't feel burdened to ask for help when you need it. Supporting you all the way my dude, stay awesome!
Nico please... We had people donate to you before and we are willing to do so. If anything, it's quite a thing that you didn't do this before, the penguins and myself are willing to help you out!
I heard that your patreon is through the roof with those subscriptions. You deserve this. Hard work pays off, and so does keeping true to yourself. Put them together and bam. life is so beautiful. Im happy as fuck for you bro.
Oh Nico, it's so sweet that you're concerned about asking us for money and that you don't want to put any of your content behind a paywall. I've been watching your videos for years and I've never seen anyone who seems to care about their interactions with their fans more than you. I've never supported anyone on patreon before but I'd love to give back for the hours upon hours of enjoyment I've gotten from your videos. I hope everything works out for you!
I haven't seen the whole video yet, but i couldn't stop myself from commenting that the video is exactly 13:37. That amused me a bit more than it probably should.
You're so humble. As a creator myself (of art, though) I totally understand the aversion to shilling yourself/saying HEY, PAY ME HERE. My followers for my art suffers because I don't really like to put myself out there due to feeling like I'm being too in your face, so I really get it. Pledged! And I hope things get better.
Nico Bizzle, the Dino Sizzle. You are honestly one of the most incredible creators on this platform and have been a staple part of my life for about 2-3 years now. To see you go would be impossibly difficult for me and many others, and I speak for a lot of the penguins when I say we would gladly support you over Patreon, since RUclips is beginning to take a turn for the worse. It's all up to you what you decide to do and we'll support you the whole way through. As long as I get to donate for an eventual Mother 3 LP ;P
Nico, you’re honestly one of the most fun youtubers on the website for me. Your consistent long videos make for a great way to spend time, and you take great games and make them even better with your voices and jokes. I’m happy to be able to support you!!
Honestly if it wasnt for nico,i wouldnt be as happy as i am today, im a lurker and i never really talk much but the picky penguin family is a second family to me and im so proud tp be part how much this chanel has grown, (ive been here since your rpg maker days) this community will always be tight knit and be there for you nico, youre a great youtuber and i hope only the best for you
As someone who once ran a Patreon that no longer exists now for personal reasons, I'm glad you're going the no-reward route. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't need more than you creating videos, and everything else I can do on my own time. At the same time though, be careful with Patreon. It's had issues where people don't get paid on certain months and some of the updates have caused creators to lose patrons. Being a creator is no joke, but at least you've got a lot of support with it.
Nico, I’m literally so upset this is happening especially since you were (and still are) a big part of my life (not in a creepy way lol) and as a fan of your stuff since I was in middle school to now being a college student I hope you stay on RUclips since your the only genuine gamer I’ve seen since I really got into your gameplays and I love our picky penguin family. I wish you could do anything to keep making content for the picky penguins and others who’ll randomly stumble upon you like I did. We love you nico and I hope you decide to keep the channel going
No lie, I have actually wondered if I could make a pledge, I actually wanted to pay you. You bring me so much wonderful content and on a near daily basis too! Every day I am eagerly waiting for the next video that comes at late evening for me (I live in Denmark, time zones.) Your videos have given something I feel like I needed, a place to just relax and laugh, and sooooo much content. So yeah, i'll happily pledge! I am happy I can finally do it. I hope this will work out and you'll continue making videos, it brings so much good I think.
Girl ^^ Natural blond, pale as shit, big blue eyes, really looks like a true genuine Dane lol. Except I am not very tall, oh well, All the rest I got. Nico got Fans from across the globe. There's a Swede above you. Excuse me, this is Danish law, ahem. "CURSE YOU SWEDEN! You drunken potato water drinkers!" Okay I am good. And Sweden is actually really lovely with a lovely people, but you know. We have a thousand year old rivalry going on here, it's tradition. HEY SIMON0712! Yah Swedish bastard! Okay i'm good. Now you call me Danish Drunkyard, we need it keep up the image man.
Times like this is when I really regret not having any funds to support anyone whatsoever. And it really breaks my heart, however I'll still support you however I can and I send big thank you to all the people who can help Nico more. He's the best RUclipsr out there. Videos everyday, 100% funny and 100% heart warming. For any new comers, it's really worth it to stay and support NicoB. And the Picky Penguin community is full of the nicest people I ever saw on RUclips. Once again, thanks and give it your all as always, Nico!
Easiest Patreon Support of my life. Been following you for four years after finding your Ace Attorney play throughs. I watch you everyday so it feels right that I give back atleast this much. Here's to you hopefully continuing the things you love to do, and what we love to watch you for.
JIMENY FREAKING CRICKET, I checked out the Patreon and I'm gonna add in my own 5 bucks eventually myself, but with just how long this video is up and you've already got that much? This fanbase is insane and I'm really glad to be part of it!
TIME TO GO DUMP HALF MY PAYCHECK ON OUR GLORIOUS LEADER! All joking aside, we've got your back Nico. The Picky Penguins will be at your side till the very end.
your an amazing person nico. we love you and want to see more of your work and see you improve even more. do what it takes to keep going and make even more amazing content.
Well, it's been how long since I've commented here? About a few months? Life's been so hectic with preparing and reaching the coattails of my internship along with personal problems in life. But whenever I can, I try to watch your videos because they always uplift me and put a smile on my face. Your humour is so quirky and funny, and you give so much life to the characters, too, with your awesome voice-acting. What also helps is that you seem like a really swell guy, and the Picky Penguin community is one of the most accepting and welcoming communities I've ever been in (and I've been here for quite a while - your first Dangan Ronpa in 2013 was when I first subscribed). Don't feel bad or think that you're "begging" us for money. You're really not. It's fine to ask for donations. And we, the Picky Penguins, will do what we can to support you. Even those who cannot financially support (such as myself), will give moral support and continue rooting for you. By the time I start seeking work, I hopefully can donate even just a little: because really, I just want to give a token of my appreciation and gratitude for helping me through the rougher times, too by your content. Keep being you and stay classy! :D
All I'll say on this matter, as I'm only a little ways into the video, is this. Nico, be who you want to be. Don't stoop to the lows of begging your viewers for likes and subscribers and followers (for example, saying more than once in the video and harping on and on about it). This is your channel and you can't do anything on this channel that you don't want to do. I hope that this channel doesn't become like what is most known about on RUclips, and is something that hopefully everyone finds enjoyment in. May the Picky Penguins live on through this troubling period of time!
Oh my god, YES! I've been wishing for years that there would be an option to support you on Patreon! It's absolutely a load off my mind to be able to support you directly, not through RUclips's ad revenue system, and knowing you'll be able to keep doing what you're doing without stuff outside your control getting in your way. *immediately rushes over to Patreon.*
We’re here Nico! The picky penguins still exist and will support you. This situation just sucks in general and it sucks that you’d have to go through that but I’ll support you as long as I can. Been here since the Ib series, will stay for years to come. Stay awesome man.
You have given me (and my best friend) years and years of joy and laughs, we will support you and show you our gratitude, no matter what or how. Thank you for everything you create, and for the wonderful and amazing person that you are!
Look, it's about time that you got a Patreon page. You are one of the most polished youtube gaming channels I've ever seen, the effort you put into the editing of each video is always so clear. It is not sustainable to take but not to give. Hence why Patreon is such an effective service especially for people like yourself. It's very understandable why you feel the way you do, if you responded in any other way it would be uncharacteristic. But everyone watching your content understands that if they want to keep watching your content, there needs to be a person there to actually MAKE the content. Patreon facilitates this and allows for a sustainable relationship between creator and consumer. So thank god you've made the decision to do this. I don't want to see you lose your job, both because I respect you as a creator and because I want to keep watching your content. And damn, has it been 7 years already? That's crazy. It doesn't feel like it's been that long. Keep doing you, man, we love it.
Nico you've been part of my daily routine for years now, Ive always loved your videos, no matter which where ,I've actually fallen in love with all of your game plays, you've been there for me when a lot of people haven't, you actually make my days better, you make me laugh even when I have a hard day and all I want to do is cry, I love you and I love this community :3 you are like our penguin boss❤️ please don't leave us :( I know this are hard times 💔 but we are here no matter what and I know that maybe on the future this community can grow uwu
Fellow Picky Penguins!! Let’s give Nico a helping hand for all the years of good content. Wither it’s encouragement or by donating. Let’s show Nico how much we love him and his content! #PickyPeguinsUnite
NicoB Does this mean you’ll finally finish Night in the Woods?!?! ☺️🤞🤞 I’ll do what I can to help. I’m a teacher so I don’t have much, but you help me relax after work so I’ll try my best
NicoB and I credit you for helping me really find my true self. I had declared that I had “grown out” of gaming in high school (2005-2009). It took forever, but I’m not afraid to be myself anymore. You helped me rediscover my love for gaming. For that, I can’t thank you enough.
As for me being here from the start I've got to say that you have definitely evolved and you've grown as a person as well as your content and I just got to say that you don't deserve to be silently punished in this way but I will try to help you get through this hard point however I assure that all the picky penguins along with me will also help you out. Just remember that you're awesome and helped me true difficult times and I would go to the end of the world to help you as best I can. (EDIT):Nico would you like me to recreate the rpg maker game that you gave me feedback on and that was the hole reason I found your channel?
I love your content Nico. I been a fan of you since recent and you quickly become my favorite lets player on here. Keep up the good work. I will support you on Patreon. Also to everyone: Please disable your Adblocker when watching your favorite youtube creators, that way they can earn more as well!
I am donating right now. Thank you for the quality content and keep it up man, never stop being yourself because you are the fuckin man. Its almost like you are a close friend to me, despite you not knowing me personally. However I know, you still got my back and you know what I find entertaining. Thats special right there.
Damn you RUclips you had ONE job but I'm fine with you using a patreon it's important for you to make a living and it's important for us to be able to watch your videos and let's plays I loved your channel since danganronpa and I'm glad I've been able to be apart of a wonderful community you've got me into many wonderful fandom and series (Danganronpa and Ace Attorney being my main ones) and truly grateful for every single video you make I look forward to watching you every day your humor lights up my whole day and I'm glad my best friend introduced me to your channel so i say keep doing you in whatever way you can and if that includes a Patreon then so be it
Done and done. This is the first time I've actually used patreon simply for the fact that while I enjoy a lot of content creators on youtube, none of them ever truly felt worth the amount of true dedication of supporting financially as awful as that is to say. I still love em but your videos are different Nico, as well as your channel. Its something so unique and wonderful that I had no choice but to truly show my support. Truthfully, I feel like I'm gonna be going through tough times soon so maybe this is just a premature selfish impulse I'm acting on but you've always brought joy and entertainment to me. Your lengthy videos, sense of humor and the genuine back and forth you have with us when playing games has made you my favorite let's player on the entire platform. This journey has done nothing but captivate me even into my young adulthood(sitting at 23 now) and I hope for it to continue. The gradual growth of this channel, even if it is smaller compared to most other channels, has created such a unique dynamic between us all and is rarely ever seen in other youtube fanbases or at least, seem with such devotion, friendliness, and support. The money I give is not just finacial support. Its a genuine "thank you" for all that you provided whether its just simple entertainment or helping me the rough times in my life. So thank you Nico, for being you. I look forward to more
You're the first creator I've financially supported. Thank you for your honesty about this issue and the way you genuinely represent yourself. Keep up the good work! I look forward to each and every one of your videos. Your Patreon is doing well so far, and *you deserve it.*
This video legitimately made me tear up, Nico you're one of my favorite youtubers, probably number 1, your content always feels so real and i love how your passion for the games can be felt, i would love to donate some to help but im currently unemployed, but the moment i get back on my feet i'll go to your patreon and give you what you deserve
Nico B you have been working hard on many of your video's and I just felt it would be wise to say thank you cause you put in your best effort everytime and I enjoyed watching you play each game I really hope things look up for you and turn around. Just don't give up! I'm still looking forward to your next let's play. Plus I hope you do a let's play of Tales of Xillia!
Nico, This why i sub to you. God damn your heart. Your such a good person and I'm happy your finding a happy medium for us all and not leaving any pickypenguin behind. It's great you have a patreon and have people support i wish i could but know my heart is with you on every step of the journey man and that i am proud to be subscribed to a genuine great guy that does not wanna dupe his fans or belittle us. Your a wonderful person and i hope you grow from all this cause i think on behalf of us all, Thank you for entertaining our lives over the years. You make us happy when we see a new video from you is place on this channel. go forward and WADDLE TO YOUR FUTURE BRO!
I've remade my account a few times, but I've been watching you for about 5 years! Your videos feel like I'm playing games with a friend, and just finding joy in making jokes, even if they're dumb, and just having a blast. But you also have really good thoughts and theories which I always find really cool and interesting! And I love how genuine and real you are all the time, and so thoughtful to your viewers and subscribers. I've never seen anyone show so much positive attention to their viewers. I don't really write comments or interact with other penguins but from what I've seen the community is really great and I think the fact that you are so open and caring is one of the reasons why! I'm really happy to have followed you this long, and I'm happy to support you, because you deserve it, man.
I've seen this kind of thing happen many times with many youtubers out there, i may not have enough money to be donating to patreons but at least i can say one thing... IS JUST FAIR for you to have a patreon
Of course we will help you Nico! I have also, like many others wanted to repay you in some way to show our gratitude towards your daily hour long videos, that brings ur joy and entertainment 😌💕 I think I was around 14-15 when I first saw one of your videos and I have been hooked since then, which was in 2012. So in 6-7 years you have given me and many others so much love and joy, and I don't want it to change in any way soon. Now I'm a collage student and with the stress of work and assignments, your videos that I can watch in the morning/evening takes away my stress and anxiety for the day. So don't worry about patreon, we picky penguins will help you, just like how you help many of us with our stressful days. Stay classy!
I'll be honest with you Nico. I never supported another content creator on patreon, with donations or in any other way. I never even bought stuff online because I'm stuck in the 90' or something, I guess lol. I even stopped myself from buying one of your plushies because I never bought anything from another country before and I was a little worried about the possible problems and gave up on the idea. Basically the only reason I have a Credit Card at all is because of a technicality, and it only saw use for Steam and little else. Even so, I decided to make the jump and join your Patreon. Your video convinced me. And I mean it in the good way, not in the brainwashing Junko way. The part were you explained how youtube screwed you over with no warning made me angry, but the part with the controller really made me happy. It shows that you would never lie to your Picky Penguins, and tell them that something is good when it's bad just for money, for greedy. As far as you can tell, you are not greedy at all, you don't plan to get rich or scam us. You just did the only thing you could have done in your situation. No one can blame you. You earned a supporter with your honesty. My 1$ is very little, but I hope that combined with all the others it can help you balance out the crappy youtube situation and let you continue make the content you and us all love so much.
Because it's you, I donated, I've been a fan since you rekindled my Kingdom Hearts love. It's still my favorite lets play of yours next to SDR2 and you just seem so humble and good-hearted how could I not support you? You've made bad days good ones and I have to thank you for that. Seriously, thank you so much for being an amazing RUclipsr and an all around good guy.
I knew this would be a problem sooner or later, and this is not surprising. RUclips is not stable as it was before and the management treats creators like trash with the stupid ad-pocalypse. I watched many of my favorite channels being forced to find alternative ways to continue to exist due to content censoring for ads and it's heartbreaking to see it's now happening to you. I fully support you Nico, and I will try my best to help you out. When I finally got my teaching license and started working as an English teacher next year I will support your patreon. Hope you stay strong and never let the stupidity of youtube stop you from being yourself !
I'd actually love to see you do more "doing stuff in real life" videos, those were cool! I hate to see you in this situation where everything isn't gonna be so genuine as you really want your content to be. Do what you gotta do i suppose. And I hope you are absolutely satisfied with the path you choose for this future.
Nico I am grateful for all the wonderful videos that you have put alot hard work into them and for all the great Picky Penguins that in this fandom. I hope you get through all of this RUclips bs.
At first in your ace attorney lp I thought man this guy is weird and left never planning to give you a chance but I returned and well you won me over with your personality. Kindness etusium and I fell for this channel ill only leave if I'm dead have a wonderful day you lovely man :)
This is a really important video talking about how RUclips's recent changes have affected both myself and this channel. If you're a subscriber to my channel, I really recommend that you give it a watch. Thank you, guys.
Ok
I've been with you for quite a few years now. I want to thank you for providing us with all these quality let's plays. I wish I had the ability to provide monetary support but unfortunately I can only watch the videos. Here's to a few more years and a healthy career.
RUclips is fucking everyone over.
Don't believe listen to them, Nico! Please stay with us! Your voices are incredibly amazing and hilarious at the same time! I even love your reactions! Please stay with us! I want you to continue on with your channel!
Nico B I first watched it you play Zero Escape every since then I wanted to support you for the very end so whatever happens I will still support you no matter what😊
It's really heartwarming to see the community come together like this, and you definitely deserve every bit of the support.
One of the best parts of being Picky Penguins. Such a great community. Not to mention stuff like this that shows just how much Nico cares about making sure everyone has a great time.
Now back to catching up on that two month backlog of Nico content-
Local man gets buried under hundreds of dollars of cash. Witnesses say it came from thousands of penguins on a boat.
Nico died that day.
*tiny penguin raises hand*
So, did that solve his financial problems?
P.S. Sorry. The temptation of dark humour is just too great. T^T
Live long and prosper, NicoBizzle the DinoSizzle.
Check the Patreon page again; it's thousands already.
FirstRisingSouI Damn, that's actually really heartwarming
EDIT: I took the time to scroll down the comments. The entire comment section is a dumping ground for good feelings.
More like thousands now!
So many coming together to help one person ;)
Welp. Time to add another Patreon subscription. Nico will go right under my donations to hentai monster girl visual novel creators.
EDIT: Alright, I'm set for $20 a month. Keep the dream alive, Nico-sama!
Nico,
It's been about 5 years now for which you've been part of my daily routine and I don't see that changing anytime soon either. You have built yourself an amazing community with many many longtime viewers like me, and even more new faces enjoying your work and community. Every day you make us smile with jokes, funny voices, ad libs, fun games, and your own personality. But it's more than that. When things are gloomy your videos help us make it better. Some of us go through tough times, and you dedicating your time and spirit towards making things better for those who need it is admirable.
You've always stayed true to yourself Nico, and I believe I speak for all of us when I say that we appreciate it and don't want you to change. You might see a Patreon as asking for money, but we see it as a chance to give back for years upon years of joy. I know many Penguins who have expressed the wish for a Patreon, or just some way of showing their appreciation. That wouldn't be the case if you didn't deserve it. You have built a large but very tight community, both in the comments, streams, and the Discord. And as someone who reads next to all comments for moderation and runs the Discord, I can't even tell you who proud I am of the community. RUclips might change, and problems arise, but we're all still one big family, and we'll get through it. Both you and us Penguins, together.
Show me seriousness
Show me the truth...
Amen brother
How was this made 7 hours ago?
How tf did you comment this 7 hours ago?
Welp, its about time I got a job then............... IN PATREON WE TRUST!!!!!! Or I should say IN SUPPORTING NICO WE TRUST!!!!!!
Always a pleasure to see you in the comments detective.
James Verner not even DEATH will stop his support, duh :P
Always a pleasure to see you Mr Bobby ghost sir.
Support for this awesome human being transcends death itself.
Yaaaas!!!
RUclips has become that one girlfriend who gets mad at you out of the blue and expects you to know why she's mad.
And then when you apologize say "WAHTEVER I WASN'T EVEN MAD!"
Yeah, you're officially the first creator I give support on Patreon. The way you speak about how reluctant you were over starting one (and the reasons why), the honesty and humility concerning the lack of said "rewards" other than your usual content make it clear for me: you are doing this because you really need it, and not to just get some cash in from the fanbase. So, no shame on that, I say! As a silent viewer I've been here for a couple of years, enticed by your amazing work as a Lplayer. And to me, a non native english speaker, say that, it's because I really mean it lol. Keep doing your shit cause the Picky Penguins will always back you up, one way or another!
Hey man, your awsome I love you and your content. I unfortunately can't donate to patron but I'll support you in anyway I can. And please don't censor yourself.
Ya
Agreed because that what makes your video fun to watch
Same here
^^^^^^^^^ same
Amen
Hey Nico!
I know this comment might not reach you, but I just want you to know that I love watching your videos. I love alot of the games that you play, but even if I dont like the game I still watch them because of your personality! Please please do not censor yourself just to meet RUclipss guidelines. You are literally one of my top three youtubers to watch! Keep going, and know that we all love your content!~
I may not have liked your content at first, but you won me over with your personality and sense of fun. I’ll support you as much as I can.
This comment is so heartwarming.
I STILL keep watching the Apollo Justice's "We Will Rock You" clip.
Same. The thing that makes thus channel so amazing is really just how honest Nico is about things.
Same here. At first I kind of pegged Nico as just another loud "LOL random" RUclipsr, but as I've watched more of his videos I've come to recognize that despite often dipping into a lot of goofy humor with his videos he does actually tend to analyze and appreciate the games he plays rather than just talk over them, as well as interact with his fanbase frequently.
Yeah, I was introduced to his channel through Ace Attorney. At first, I thought he wasn’t taking the game seriously and was just making dumb jokes. Eventually though, I saw that it was just his way of having fun with a game and eventually had me laughing with him.
he literaly uploaded the video 20 minutes ago and he already has almost $400 per month on patreon, that really shows how much everyone loves Nico!!! inlcuding myself obviously, but yeah dont ever feel bad for making a patreon or making money, as you can see a lot of people was already trying to support you no matter what
EDIT: WOW OK almost $1000 in half an hour, oh god this is amazing
EDIT 2: almost 2 hours and we're at 555 patrons with $2,222 lmaoooo lucky numberzzzzz
And that comment was 11 hours ago, can’t wait to see how big it is in a minute! (And then I can join in myself!)
Almost hit the goal amount already! Woo!
I can tell you now, he now has over 1000 patrons and 4000$ per month. We're doing great guys.
@@petiteluka9372 they do watch over the comments, but they do not delete the criticism, unless this guy is being toxic as hell or spoiling stuff for the hell of it. So don't make them out to be Nico's inquisitors
Then pray tell why can I see your comment just fine? If it was deleted or "Flagged" it should've been taken down, but it's not. It still stays there, in plain sight. I tried your method and I can still see your comment. Hell, I can even link you the screenshot imgur.com/KbwLSdj
Nico, the Picky Penguin family supports you no matter what! We know that you aren't trying to con us or leech money off us; you just want to be able to keep doing the job that you love: Providing wonderful entertainment to us Picky Penguins.
We'll continue to be there for you, so go ahead and ask whatever you need from us without worry; we know you'll never abuse our trust.
Stay Classy :D
I'll leech money off you to make up for it!
(Not really)
Nico is so _non-aggressive_ with Patreon right now that it's kind of adorable. Look at the video's description.
Become a Picky Penguin! *Yes. Become one.*
Get your own Picky Penguin plushie! *Yes. Buy one.*
Patreon.
It's not phrased as a command (e.g. Support me on Patreon!). It's not even a strong suggestion, (e.g. If you support me, then I can continue doing what I love.).
*shakes head in disbelief*
So pure. He's the biggest cinnamon bun of them all. T^T
At $10,000 a month we'll get Bernie Let's Plays!
michael coughlin just a video of Bernie sleeping will get thousands of views hahaha.
Bro you're the main reason I got into so many wonderful fandoms and you're literally one of my favorite RUclips. RUclips just doesnt get it. They do not know true content. Keep fighting, Nico! Your picky penguin, including me, are there for you too! And as always, stay classy!
Never had a patreon account, I guess I'll have to make one now.
Honestly for the amount of your content I consume you are worth it Nico.
AnonEars same, I made one so I could support Nico.
Patreon, dude! It's not asking for money, we WANT to support you because we LOVE your content.
We don't want you to change and we can see that you don't want to either.
Some of us have been here, watching you, since the very beginning, keep being you, that's what we came here for.
Much love, Nico.
From Lucas, a Picky Penguin.
Nico, you deserve so many more subscribers than you have. You're just a precious cinnamon bun of a guy. I've really enjoyed the LP of the more mature games you've played (Yakuza being one of my favs) and it's what brought me to the channel. I could do with you swearing less but that's just my personal beliefs. I didn't realize you streamed on Twitch, I'll go see if I can find you on there. Can you add that link to your video description too?
www.twitch.tv/nicob7700
I personally believe he should stay around this amount of subscribers. I love him, and I plan to support the dude as soon as I'm able. Large numbers change people - and it's honestly just a lot better for him not to go mainstream. The picky penguins is a loving community - and large numbers changes that too.
That being said, I agree with the sentiment of him deserving lots more of stuff.
RUclips is doing you wrong
Agree
Which is an act of INJUSTICE!!!!
And other youtubers too
What else is new
TheCODGOD 21
Wouldn’t be funny if we start a class action lawsuit against RUclips out of this.
THIS MESSAGE is FROM tryannick deep in the comments it's importent for NICOB to see this .... pass it on so he KNOWS
(( Just an FYI on Pateron you’re not allowed to have giveaways as benefits. Patreon sees it as gambling. ))
NICOB PLEASE FIND THIS I don't want your PATREON removed it's too IMPORTENT
Hey there, thank you for informing me of this. I looked it up, and you're definitely right, they discourage raffles and giveaways. That said, it seems if it's something that I offer to everyone (not just my patrons), it should be fine, which is honestly what I intended to do. So we should be alright. I'll make sure to specify that in my goals though. Thank you!
You should never feel bad about other people’s kindness. That is the donor’s decision. There’s no exploitation there’s just love and support. ❤️
Honestly, all these RUclips changes are making me worried about the future of this platform. Not only that, for years ive wanted to become a youtuber myself but again, these changes kinda make that dream difficult. Hopefully (or if) that time comes these changes will be somewhat resolved.
The simple fact that someone who has been on youtube for years, uploads regularly and has a passionate fanbase like Nico can't even affors to survive with youtube alone anymore, truly proves how bullshit this platform has become. I suggest you don't become a youtuber but find another platform to work with.
RUclips doesn't even deserve to be supported. And if I don't use adblock it's because I want to help the people I follow, not because I think RUclips is worth even a penny.
It's alright Nico, you deserve this. Don't think of it as "asking your fans for money", you're giving your fans a chance to actively support your work so they can keep enjoying it for years to come, so you're not forced to quit to make a living elsewhere.
I understand the sentiment, though, but I'm sure a good share of your fanbase would more than gladly squeeze a penny to lend you a hand, so don't worry about it. It's not mandatory, it's done out of love, you needn't feel bad about it.
You know, I really only subscribed for all of your Kingdom Hearts content at first. But the more I watched, the more I realized I genuinely enjoyed spending time with you and everyone else in the comments. You were funny, you were entertaining to watch, and you put a lot of effort into all of your videos. I have a lot of respect for you, and I'm really sorry that RUclips has been making things difficult for you lately. If I had the funds, I would absolutely want to donate. I can't now, but if my situation ever changes, I would definitely support you. I'm proud to be a Picky Penguin and I can't wait to see what you'll do next!
I have known you since Danganronpa 2. I value watching your videos and think you are an amazing person. I will support you wherever you go. Sucks you have been hit with this stuff.
While I was watching this video, I pulled up Patreon to read through it myself. When I first clicked on the link the amount was at $108 a month. By the time I finished watching your video, the Patreon had already exceeded its first goal.
This is one of the greatest communities on RUclips and I'm so glad to be a part of it. Once money gets a little more stable with college and everything I think I'll try and donate too. It's definitely worth it.
Thank you for all the videos Nico. Best of luck with your channel.
*AND RUclips STRIKES AGAIN!!* How am I not surprised?! God, this is getting really annoying!
Don't worry Nico!! I'd prefer the real you over you changing! I'd definitely look into sponsoring you!
If only Twitch decides to let people upload videos for games
They're gonna go out of business very soon. Juts letting you know :/
What? Since when?
@KingShoter007 REALLY?! REALLY?! THEN WHY THE FUCK DID THEY TAKE AWAY OUR CURSING BADGES?! THEY SHOULD AT LEAST LET US CURSE AND JUST TELL THOSE SJWS TO FUCK OFF!!!!
This channel is a small oasis, somewhere you can visit to just let go of your worries and lose yourself. It's actually baffling to me how you manage to be so cheery and upbeat for 7 damned years. Seven years and I haven't gotten bored of your crappy puns and your silly attitude.
Things get busy as you grow up and I don't have the time to watch these videos nowadays. I still follow the Yakuza series, watching a bit of Persona here and there. But I still look back to the days of Dangan Ronpa, Persona 4 and Phoenix Wright.
These videos are my memories. I watch them and remember all the game's characters -- and Nico's one of them. He shares these memories with me, and we've been through all the highs and lows together.
Watching this video I realize how big of an impact you had on me growing up. All the memories, all the smiles and laughters for free. Convenient, reliable, at the comfort of my room.
Watching this, it makes me wonder why I never bothered to think of you behind the screen. How do you earn income? How do you support your life? How much work and effort are you really putting into this channel and does it tire you? Now I know.
I've landed a job this August and got my first income. It's time that I repay you for what you had done for me throughout these years, both as gratitude and support.
Thank you dearly, my friend.
First maximiliam and now nicob, youtube can't help to shoot itself on the foot.
The problem is that they still don't have a real competitor when it comes to video sharing platforms. They essentially have a monopoly at the moment.
And thene there is sh*t like the paul brothers and other who gets money with the rate of sh*t content they have in there videos
@@jackbordar2727 exactly!
Pretty much. No competition means no incentive to get better and that they think they can do whatever they want. RUclips is the textbook example of the negative effects of a monopoly.
Thankfully though, Nico hasn't gotten the "Lost Pause treatment" as of yet...
Poor guy had his channel shut down twice without having done anything to deserve it.
Nico, I cannot in any easy way explain how much you, your videos, and the Picky Penguins mean to me. I have been following you since the days of Persona 4 Golden, and since then there has not been a day when I have not been excited to watch a new video of yours.
You have introduced me to so many of my favorite games, and works of fiction.Everything from Persona and Yakuza, to Danganronpa, Zero Escape, and several more. Because of this I have met a lot of wonderful people, within and outside this community. Without you, I would probably never met a lot of people or experienced a lot of the things that I have, and for that I am so unbelievably grateful. Every new Let´s Play really is the start of something exciting every time, and you manage making games I normally would not care for at all into hugely enjoyable experiences. That alone, I think speaks volumes to how good your content is, what a great community you have built up over the years. No other creator makes me as happy and excited as you do, they really don´t. I don´t think I have seen a internet community like the Picky Penguins, so tightly nit and so immensely passionate and driven. And I have never seen another let´s player like you, with your great viewer interaction and unique style created by your amazing collection of voices, which in themselves gives the channel and content so much heart, and so many fun jokes that could only be possible in your videos .
There are honestly pretty few things I consider to be part of my everyday routine, but your videos has a place there, and is almost always one of the absolute highlights.
The thing I want to thank you for most of all, is the way you positively affect my mental health. Ever since about a year ago, I have been gradually developing worse and worse anxiety, something I have never had before at all. I honestly cannot even begin to count the amount of times where I have been feeling so lost, sad and afraid, not knowing what to do, and then having your daily video arrive, and after about an hour, the worries has settled significantly. So many of the nights where I have my anxiety attacks, your videos are one of the things that really manages to calm me down, making my often obsessively negative and destructive thoughts in those moments fade, replaced with all the wonderfulness of you and your content. As cheesy as it may sound, you have helped and saved me too many times to even count, and I am grateful beyond words for that.
I will give what I can to the Patreon, even if it´s not all that much, because you honestly deserve it, and there is no one I´d rather donate to, to be honest. And if it´s something I know, it´s that the Picky Penguins will come together to support you, and make this work.
Thanks again for everything you do, Nico. Stay classy.
I read Patreon in the description and immidiatly stopped the video to go over there and support ya
Same
Welp, its time for me to get a job then............IN PATREON WE TRUST!!!!
Unfortunately Nico I have no income so I can’t become a patron but I want you to know I support you and hope everything works out.
Nico, you have given me hours upon hours of entertainment. I've been watching you for well over 5 years now. I just graduated college and I am now earning a good yearly salary. It would bring me so much joy to be able to support my favorite content creator. You are truly an amazing person! I am glad to be a member of this community! :)
Seriously Nico, thanks for being honest with us. I feel like it’s becoming harder to connect with my favorite youtubers as they become more and more company-like, but you’ve always been really frank with us picky penguins. I’ve never felt motivated to support a youtuber on patreon but I think this is the first time I’ve been motivated to use it. (Which is ironic since there aren’t any physical rewards or anything) I definitely plan on supporting you on patreon. (it might not be right away though) I hope things get a little better and if a dollar a month will help you out, I am happy to help. Hang in there Nico, and stay awesome.
Didn't even watch. I knew this was coming. I only opened the video to get to the Patreon link and pledge. It's always a pleasure to support (when I can)
(Small edit : i went back to see what were your pledge goals (and i love them) and wow people are reacting fast with their pledges.)
Nico. Patreon is not asking for money, it’s saying “If you wanna help me, you can!”
We donate because we wanna help you
If only we could ChAnGe ThE FuTuRe like Shulk...
Nicob, your ace attorney vids are the most interesting then any other youtuber. Keep working old
thxs
I immediately jumped in the description and chose to pay you. I've never done this before but honestly,you deserve it. Where I live your videos always release right in the evening so they are always a great way to calm down from the stress of life. So thank you,you're great!
(Once I get my hand on more money I'll also try to do more than 1 Dollar a month.)
It's really sad that RUclips continues to use their bullsh*t powers in a way that screws over their content creators. (Judge voice in the background: "And not the good bullsh*t like from my beloved Komaeda") But in all reality I've always been a devoted picky penguin ever since I discovered your first Danganronpa series. I typically just supported you by watching your videos behind the scenes. But seeing that you're going through a rough patch, I hope to be able to support your new Patreon. I think the way you went about it is good, since it'll allow us to support you but not distant those who can't. In the end we're all here for you Nico and we won't let RUclips knock down our Emperor Penguin (you by the way, haha) cheers!
Don't censor yourself, dude.
Honestly I'm still blown away by how genuine you always are. I first started watching your channel because I was thirsty for a V3 blind playthrough, and I initially assumed you were just another OTT youtuber. But it quickly became obvious that you're so much more than that. You listen to your community and respond thoroughly to pretty much every major comment in the next video, you show appreciation and give nuanced opinions to the games you play (I always get excited to hear your overall opinions at the end of an LP), you spend a ton of effort on your voices and other content such as council of voices, you never use dishonest tricks on your fans (which I've sadly seen a lot of on youtube and has lead me to unsubscribe from many, many channels), you're a completionist that tries to explore every nook and cranny of every game you play... honestly I don't think I could ask for any more. I won't be able to offer much on patreon since I'm a student, but I'll still try to give something. You deserve far more than youtube gives you tbh.
You’ve been giving me high quality content free for 5 years. I’m more than happy to help you out.
Nico, I may be extremely poor so I can’t, but I can still support you. Your Danganronpa series are amazing and I’m excited for the content awaiting. I’m a recent subscriber and I haven’t regretted doing just that.
Change is natural, but there are some stuff that should stay the same in life. Your awesome content is among that. Stay awesome, and stay classy Nico!
Nico, I know that I don’t comment a lot, but I just wanted to say: thank you. Seriously, you don’t realize how your videos make me laugh in my most depressing and stressful days. I would be more than glad to be there for and support you, as a thank you for being such a delightful person. I love that you care so much for us and interact with us in your videos, I have never seen any other RUclipsr (or any person of fame, really) care this much and having fun with their community. You deserve the best for all the hard work you do and for being passionate all these years. So I will gladly support your pateron!
Patreon is good for you and your supporters, you could always make a poll for the next game for you to do a Let’s Play as a feature on Patreon.
I like you as you are now, please don’t change who you are for RUclips.
(I feel like if he couldn't decide between stuff he'd make an official poll for everyone to vote)
well next goal is similar to what you're saying but it more fair ^^
I wouldn't want Patreon subscribers to dictate the course of his LPs, even if it was only unofficial and not a deciding factor. I intend to support him, because I can right now, but I know there are times when I couldn't and probably more times in the future where I can't, and I know I would hate feeling like my opinions on new LPs were less important just because I wasn't giving him money. And I don't think Nico wants that either.
Hey my dude... during a time like this, I feel as though it's time for some, you know... encouragement.
I love your content... bit of a bland statement huh? Well let me expand upon that.
I was recently introduced to your channel through the DR fandom -help me, I am wallowing in despair pls- and I made friends through your content.
Now, you're probably thinking that "well it's normal to get friends in high school-" -no, it isn't. I didn't have friends and my sisters were busy with life and family. It was hard for me to make friends due to my severe distrust towards others. I fell into a depression after my grandmother passed away... that's when I found your content through watching the DR anime and playing the game.
You made me feel emotions again, you made me get off my behavioural pills and realise a brighter side to life -even so I was in the despairing DR fandom XD.
So please, don't feel burdened to ask for help when you need it. Supporting you all the way my dude, stay awesome!
Nico please... We had people donate to you before and we are willing to do so. If anything, it's quite a thing that you didn't do this before, the penguins and myself are willing to help you out!
I heard that your patreon is through the roof with those subscriptions. You deserve this. Hard work pays off, and so does keeping true to yourself. Put them together and bam. life is so beautiful. Im happy as fuck for you bro.
Take my money and don’t leave me Nico!!! You’re my hero... like a gaming Spider-Man whose quips always make things better.
Oh Nico, it's so sweet that you're concerned about asking us for money and that you don't want to put any of your content behind a paywall. I've been watching your videos for years and I've never seen anyone who seems to care about their interactions with their fans more than you. I've never supported anyone on patreon before but I'd love to give back for the hours upon hours of enjoyment I've gotten from your videos. I hope everything works out for you!
I haven't seen the whole video yet, but i couldn't stop myself from commenting that the video is exactly 13:37. That amused me a bit more than it probably should.
You're so humble. As a creator myself (of art, though) I totally understand the aversion to shilling yourself/saying HEY, PAY ME HERE. My followers for my art suffers because I don't really like to put myself out there due to feeling like I'm being too in your face, so I really get it. Pledged! And I hope things get better.
Nico Bizzle, the Dino Sizzle.
You are honestly one of the most incredible creators on this platform and have been a staple part of my life for about 2-3 years now. To see you go would be impossibly difficult for me and many others, and I speak for a lot of the penguins when I say we would gladly support you over Patreon, since RUclips is beginning to take a turn for the worse.
It's all up to you what you decide to do and we'll support you the whole way through. As long as I get to donate for an eventual Mother 3 LP ;P
The Mother 3 LP already happened. What rock are you under?
KashKey Please take a look at my comments on the Mother 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles LPs for reference.
Oh, you're memeing. It would appear *I* am the one under a rock, lol
Nico, you’re honestly one of the most fun youtubers on the website for me. Your consistent long videos make for a great way to spend time, and you take great games and make them even better with your voices and jokes. I’m happy to be able to support you!!
Honestly if it wasnt for nico,i wouldnt be as happy as i am today, im a lurker and i never really talk much but the picky penguin family is a second family to me and im so proud tp be part how much this chanel has grown, (ive been here since your rpg maker days) this community will always be tight knit and be there for you nico, youre a great youtuber and i hope only the best for you
As someone who once ran a Patreon that no longer exists now for personal reasons, I'm glad you're going the no-reward route. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't need more than you creating videos, and everything else I can do on my own time. At the same time though, be careful with Patreon. It's had issues where people don't get paid on certain months and some of the updates have caused creators to lose patrons. Being a creator is no joke, but at least you've got a lot of support with it.
keep strong brother, love you
Nico, I’m literally so upset this is happening especially since you were (and still are) a big part of my life (not in a creepy way lol) and as a fan of your stuff since I was in middle school to now being a college student I hope you stay on RUclips since your the only genuine gamer I’ve seen since I really got into your gameplays and I love our picky penguin family. I wish you could do anything to keep making content for the picky penguins and others who’ll randomly stumble upon you like I did. We love you nico and I hope you decide to keep the channel going
No lie, I have actually wondered if I could make a pledge, I actually wanted to pay you.
You bring me so much wonderful content and on a near daily basis too! Every day I am eagerly waiting for the next video that comes at late evening for me (I live in Denmark, time zones.)
Your videos have given something I feel like I needed, a place to just relax and laugh, and sooooo much content.
So yeah, i'll happily pledge! I am happy I can finally do it. I hope this will work out and you'll continue making videos, it brings so much good I think.
Fellow almost-Dane (Swede) here and YES, so much this! Nico's videos are like the best part of the late evening :D
Ey danish penguin pledge boys(Or gal I dunno :P) ^^i'm danish too btw vi vil støtte dig nico!
Girl ^^
Natural blond, pale as shit, big blue eyes, really looks like a true genuine Dane lol.
Except I am not very tall, oh well, All the rest I got.
Nico got Fans from across the globe. There's a Swede above you.
Excuse me, this is Danish law, ahem. "CURSE YOU SWEDEN! You drunken potato water drinkers!"
Okay I am good. And Sweden is actually really lovely with a lovely people, but you know. We have a thousand year old rivalry going on here, it's tradition. HEY SIMON0712! Yah Swedish bastard!
Okay i'm good. Now you call me Danish Drunkyard, we need it keep up the image man.
Times like this is when I really regret not having any funds to support anyone whatsoever. And it really breaks my heart, however I'll still support you however I can and I send big thank you to all the people who can help Nico more. He's the best RUclipsr out there. Videos everyday, 100% funny and 100% heart warming. For any new comers, it's really worth it to stay and support NicoB. And the Picky Penguin community is full of the nicest people I ever saw on RUclips. Once again, thanks and give it your all as always, Nico!
Easiest Patreon Support of my life. Been following you for four years after finding your Ace Attorney play throughs. I watch you everyday so it feels right that I give back atleast this much. Here's to you hopefully continuing the things you love to do, and what we love to watch you for.
JIMENY FREAKING CRICKET, I checked out the Patreon and I'm gonna add in my own 5 bucks eventually myself, but with just how long this video is up and you've already got that much? This fanbase is insane and I'm really glad to be part of it!
TIME TO GO DUMP HALF MY PAYCHECK ON OUR GLORIOUS LEADER!
All joking aside, we've got your back Nico. The Picky Penguins will be at your side till the very end.
This must me a lot of stress, so my only concern at this moment is that if you're alright, nico?
your an amazing person nico. we love you and want to see more of your work and see you improve even more. do what it takes to keep going and make even more amazing content.
Well, it's been how long since I've commented here? About a few months? Life's been so hectic with preparing and reaching the coattails of my internship along with personal problems in life. But whenever I can, I try to watch your videos because they always uplift me and put a smile on my face. Your humour is so quirky and funny, and you give so much life to the characters, too, with your awesome voice-acting. What also helps is that you seem like a really swell guy, and the Picky Penguin community is one of the most accepting and welcoming communities I've ever been in (and I've been here for quite a while - your first Dangan Ronpa in 2013 was when I first subscribed).
Don't feel bad or think that you're "begging" us for money. You're really not. It's fine to ask for donations. And we, the Picky Penguins, will do what we can to support you. Even those who cannot financially support (such as myself), will give moral support and continue rooting for you. By the time I start seeking work, I hopefully can donate even just a little: because really, I just want to give a token of my appreciation and gratitude for helping me through the rougher times, too by your content.
Keep being you and stay classy! :D
All I'll say on this matter, as I'm only a little ways into the video, is this. Nico, be who you want to be. Don't stoop to the lows of begging your viewers for likes and subscribers and followers (for example, saying more than once in the video and harping on and on about it). This is your channel and you can't do anything on this channel that you don't want to do. I hope that this channel doesn't become like what is most known about on RUclips, and is something that hopefully everyone finds enjoyment in. May the Picky Penguins live on through this troubling period of time!
Oh my god, YES! I've been wishing for years that there would be an option to support you on Patreon! It's absolutely a load off my mind to be able to support you directly, not through RUclips's ad revenue system, and knowing you'll be able to keep doing what you're doing without stuff outside your control getting in your way. *immediately rushes over to Patreon.*
We’re here Nico! The picky penguins still exist and will support you. This situation just sucks in general and it sucks that you’d have to go through that but I’ll support you as long as I can.
Been here since the Ib series, will stay for years to come. Stay awesome man.
You have given me (and my best friend) years and years of joy and laughs, we will support you and show you our gratitude, no matter what or how. Thank you for everything you create, and for the wonderful and amazing person that you are!
wow, 15 mintutes and you already got a lot of patrons, good luck, I'm going to donate too.
Look, it's about time that you got a Patreon page. You are one of the most polished youtube gaming channels I've ever seen, the effort you put into the editing of each video is always so clear.
It is not sustainable to take but not to give. Hence why Patreon is such an effective service especially for people like yourself.
It's very understandable why you feel the way you do, if you responded in any other way it would be uncharacteristic. But everyone watching your content understands that if they want to keep watching your content, there needs to be a person there to actually MAKE the content. Patreon facilitates this and allows for a sustainable relationship between creator and consumer.
So thank god you've made the decision to do this. I don't want to see you lose your job, both because I respect you as a creator and because I want to keep watching your content.
And damn, has it been 7 years already? That's crazy. It doesn't feel like it's been that long.
Keep doing you, man, we love it.
Nico you've been part of my daily routine for years now, Ive always loved your videos, no matter which where ,I've actually fallen in love with all of your game plays, you've been there for me when a lot of people haven't, you actually make my days better, you make me laugh even when I have a hard day and all I want to do is cry, I love you and I love this community :3 you are like our penguin boss❤️ please don't leave us :( I know this are hard times 💔 but we are here no matter what and I know that maybe on the future this community can grow uwu
Looking forward to making a Patreon to support you Nico!
Fellow Picky Penguins!! Let’s give Nico a helping hand for all the years of good content. Wither it’s encouragement or by donating. Let’s show Nico how much we love him and his content!
#PickyPeguinsUnite
So are the livestreams twice a month or twice a week? The video and patreon contradict.
Sorry, I realize that "biweekly" can be interpreted two different ways. I meant twice a month.
NicoB Does this mean you’ll finally finish Night in the Woods?!?! ☺️🤞🤞 I’ll do what I can to help. I’m a teacher so I don’t have much, but you help me relax after work so I’ll try my best
@@loveinthemeadows and maybe Crash 3
NicoB and I credit you for helping me really find my true self. I had declared that I had “grown out” of gaming in high school (2005-2009). It took forever, but I’m not afraid to be myself anymore. You helped me rediscover my love for gaming. For that, I can’t thank you enough.
i believe twice a month is bimonthly.
As for me being here from the start I've got to say that you have definitely evolved and you've grown as a person as well as your content and I just got to say that you don't deserve to be silently punished in this way but I will try to help you get through this hard point however I assure that all the picky penguins along with me will also help you out. Just remember that you're awesome and helped me true difficult times and I would go to the end of the world to help you as best I can.
(EDIT):Nico would you like me to recreate the rpg maker game that you gave me feedback on and that was the hole reason I found your channel?
Rad Shiba l couldn't agree more
As a fellow picky penguin i gotta be honest and say that i was about to write the exact same thing XD
Holy sh** that's a quick turnaround for patreon money, Glad the picky penguins who can are supporting you Nico.
I love your content Nico. I been a fan of you since recent and you quickly become my favorite lets player on here. Keep up the good work. I will support you on Patreon. Also to everyone: Please disable your Adblocker when watching your favorite youtube creators, that way they can earn more as well!
ImmaGamerGuy like you I urge disabling Adblock 😊 I refused to use it on yt from day one as respect to the great creators I am subbed to 😊
I am donating right now. Thank you for the quality content and keep it up man, never stop being yourself because you are the fuckin man. Its almost like you are a close friend to me, despite you not knowing me personally. However I know, you still got my back and you know what I find entertaining. Thats special right there.
Damn you RUclips you had ONE job but I'm fine with you using a patreon it's important for you to make a living and it's important for us to be able to watch your videos and let's plays
I loved your channel since danganronpa and I'm glad I've been able to be apart of a wonderful community you've got me into many wonderful fandom and series (Danganronpa and Ace Attorney being my main ones) and truly grateful for every single video you make I look forward to watching you every day your humor lights up my whole day and I'm glad my best friend introduced me to your channel so i say keep doing you in whatever way you can and if that includes a Patreon then so be it
Aww, I just saw your Patreon tiers. That's actually really sweet. I'll become a Patron just for that.
Done and done. This is the first time I've actually used patreon simply for the fact that while I enjoy a lot of content creators on youtube, none of them ever truly felt worth the amount of true dedication of supporting financially as awful as that is to say. I still love em but your videos are different Nico, as well as your channel. Its something so unique and wonderful that I had no choice but to truly show my support. Truthfully, I feel like I'm gonna be going through tough times soon so maybe this is just a premature selfish impulse I'm acting on but you've always brought joy and entertainment to me. Your lengthy videos, sense of humor and the genuine back and forth you have with us when playing games has made you my favorite let's player on the entire platform. This journey has done nothing but captivate me even into my young adulthood(sitting at 23 now) and I hope for it to continue. The gradual growth of this channel, even if it is smaller compared to most other channels, has created such a unique dynamic between us all and is rarely ever seen in other youtube fanbases or at least, seem with such devotion, friendliness, and support. The money I give is not just finacial support. Its a genuine "thank you" for all that you provided whether its just simple entertainment or helping me the rough times in my life. So thank you Nico, for being you. I look forward to more
You're the first creator I've financially supported. Thank you for your honesty about this issue and the way you genuinely represent yourself. Keep up the good work! I look forward to each and every one of your videos.
Your Patreon is doing well so far, and *you deserve it.*
This video legitimately made me tear up, Nico you're one of my favorite youtubers, probably number 1, your content always feels so real and i love how your passion for the games can be felt, i would love to donate some to help but im currently unemployed, but the moment i get back on my feet i'll go to your patreon and give you what you deserve
Nico B you have been working hard on many of your video's and I just felt it would be wise to say thank you cause you put in your best effort everytime and I enjoyed watching you play each game I really hope things look up for you and turn around. Just don't give up! I'm still looking forward to your next let's play. Plus I hope you do a let's play of Tales of Xillia!
Nico,
This why i sub to you. God damn your heart. Your such a good person and I'm happy your finding a happy medium for us all and not leaving any pickypenguin behind. It's great you have a patreon and have people support i wish i could but know my heart is with you on every step of the journey man and that i am proud to be subscribed to a genuine great guy that does not wanna dupe his fans or belittle us. Your a wonderful person and i hope you grow from all this cause i think on behalf of us all, Thank you for entertaining our lives over the years. You make us happy when we see a new video from you is place on this channel. go forward and WADDLE TO YOUR FUTURE BRO!
I've remade my account a few times, but I've been watching you for about 5 years! Your videos feel like I'm playing games with a friend, and just finding joy in making jokes, even if they're dumb, and just having a blast. But you also have really good thoughts and theories which I always find really cool and interesting! And I love how genuine and real you are all the time, and so thoughtful to your viewers and subscribers. I've never seen anyone show so much positive attention to their viewers. I don't really write comments or interact with other penguins but from what I've seen the community is really great and I think the fact that you are so open and caring is one of the reasons why! I'm really happy to have followed you this long, and I'm happy to support you, because you deserve it, man.
I've seen this kind of thing happen many times with many youtubers out there, i may not have enough money to be donating to patreons but at least i can say one thing... IS JUST FAIR for you to have a patreon
Of course we will help you Nico! I have also, like many others wanted to repay you in some way to show our gratitude towards your daily hour long videos, that brings ur joy and entertainment 😌💕
I think I was around 14-15 when I first saw one of your videos and I have been hooked since then, which was in 2012. So in 6-7 years you have given me and many others so much love and joy, and I don't want it to change in any way soon. Now I'm a collage student and with the stress of work and assignments, your videos that I can watch in the morning/evening takes away my stress and anxiety for the day. So don't worry about patreon, we picky penguins will help you, just like how you help many of us with our stressful days.
Stay classy!
I'll be honest with you Nico. I never supported another content creator on patreon, with donations or in any other way. I never even bought stuff online because I'm stuck in the 90' or something, I guess lol. I even stopped myself from buying one of your plushies because I never bought anything from another country before and I was a little worried about the possible problems and gave up on the idea. Basically the only reason I have a Credit Card at all is because of a technicality, and it only saw use for Steam and little else. Even so, I decided to make the jump and join your Patreon. Your video convinced me.
And I mean it in the good way, not in the brainwashing Junko way. The part were you explained how youtube screwed you over with no warning made me angry, but the part with the controller really made me happy. It shows that you would never lie to your Picky Penguins, and tell them that something is good when it's bad just for money, for greedy.
As far as you can tell, you are not greedy at all, you don't plan to get rich or scam us.
You just did the only thing you could have done in your situation. No one can blame you.
You earned a supporter with your honesty. My 1$ is very little, but I hope that combined with all the others it can help you balance out the crappy youtube situation and let you continue make the content you and us all love so much.
Because it's you, I donated, I've been a fan since you rekindled my Kingdom Hearts love. It's still my favorite lets play of yours next to SDR2 and you just seem so humble and good-hearted how could I not support you? You've made bad days good ones and I have to thank you for that. Seriously, thank you so much for being an amazing RUclipsr and an all around good guy.
I knew this would be a problem sooner or later, and this is not surprising. RUclips is not stable as it was before and the management treats creators like trash with the stupid ad-pocalypse. I watched many of my favorite channels being forced to find alternative ways to continue to exist due to content censoring for ads and it's heartbreaking to see it's now happening to you. I fully support you Nico, and I will try my best to help you out. When I finally got my teaching license and started working as an English teacher next year I will support your patreon. Hope you stay strong and never let the stupidity of youtube stop you from being yourself !
I hope the best for you Nico. I'll do what I can to support you!!!
I'd actually love to see you do more "doing stuff in real life" videos, those were cool! I hate to see you in this situation where everything isn't gonna be so genuine as you really want your content to be. Do what you gotta do i suppose. And I hope you are absolutely satisfied with the path you choose for this future.
Nico I am grateful for all the wonderful videos that you have put alot hard work into them and for all the great Picky Penguins that in this fandom. I hope you get through all of this RUclips bs.
At first in your ace attorney lp I thought man this guy is weird and left never planning to give you a chance but I returned and well you won me over with your personality. Kindness etusium and I fell for this channel ill only leave if I'm dead have a wonderful day you lovely man :)
When i saw the patreon I immediately become one. More power for you and for the picky penguins that support you and will support you. :)
