hey guys i forgot to mention. My van content will still continue as i take more van trips. be sure you're subscribed to youtube.com/@vanmanrya to see those videos!
Brother, so many of us will continue to support you. You have made me laugh at times when I was at a low point in my life. I am forever grateful for that. Maybe the van videos will grow and become huge, you never know. Never give up, follow your dreams, they are what keep you going, and are for YOUR happiness, nobody else's. Bro Hugs...
OG viewer here. I’ve witnessed your ups and the downs. I’m not goin anywhere. This community is like family to me. You could never stream again and I would still be here, and in the discord. A majority of this community truly cares about you, Lorren, your wellbeing, and your future. We want you to succeed just as badly as you want to. So, with that said, you do what you need to do to get back to a better version of yourself. I think people forget that mental health is so important and if you’re not in a good spot mentally it will start to affect other aspects of your life. We will be here for the streams or van videos. We love you Rya! Thank you for the 5 fantastic, chaotic, hilarious years. See y’all on the next one! 💛💛
February 2020 i found Rya on FB, started watching and laugh so hard i dang near peed myself, fast-forward April 2024 still watching, take care of yourself Rya my brother from another mother, Chet is family and we thank Papa Rya for everything, travel the roads and grab some good vibes, we'll be here when you need us, Every drop threw my town coffee is on me, 👍
4%er here and always will be here as long as you are!! You need to do what is best for you,your mental, and your personal life!! We will always be here for whatever you bring us next buddy! Much brotherly love!
Although I agree with it. It’s sad to say the OG people he talked about that he doesn’t see anymore were part of that 4 percenter club. But yes what’s left of that absolutely will be looking for the van adventures and whatever else is next on the Ryastream
I first started watching you probably late 2018 maybe early 2019, I can say you honestly changed my life. I got big into ATS and in August of 2020 I quit my office job that I worked at for close to 10 years and got my CDL's and been driving since. All because I saw a dude playing a video game on Facebook.
Rya, love your content, came over from Facebook and you made me cancel all my streaming services. When I get off of work I'd turn on the replay and watch whatever you played. I didn't care. You brought me through a lot of hard times and we will be here for you no matter what you do. I know all too much about committing your whole life to a job and giving up so much of your life for it. Hope that you are able to get your state of mind in a better place and can go out and enjoy your van and life!
Will be rooting for your wellness and getting better in all the ways. Will be a OG regardless. You are amazing person and the skills you have to entertain people and make them laugh.
Thank you Rya. I’ve been watching you for over 4 years and I understand things change with streaming, and Your physical and mental health is much more important than that. I’ll be in the chat when you do stream.
Even know I don't say much but I been watching you for years. Probably from the start . Thank you for everything you have done to take minds off of other thing. Take care you will be missed. Love you take care . But you have to stream every now and again. Again be safe . Love you all .
I’ve been with you forever and I’m staying forever. You gotta make healthy decisions and staying inside 24/7 would drive me insane. Get out and enjoy life buddy, the real ones will be here for you. Get out and clear your head, start traveling. Love ya buddy and appreciate all the years you have dedicated to us. If ya need help cleaning house let me know cause I know an awesome cleaner (cough…Denver….cough) 😂. Take care of yourself and your mental health, that’s the most important thing.
Hey, I've been watching you since FB... I ain't goin anywhere either... except when I have stuff to do, driving people to their appointments etc... but even then, I try to make sure to pop in when I can, even when I am out. Can't chat as much obviously when I am doin that stuff. Don't give up the stream, buddy. We all need a good laugh during the early afternoon!! (usually when I am having breakfast) LOL
Awesome honest words. I am happy I found you when you were streaming our game and I also love to watch your other streams. Your streams and the community are so fun and I will stick around not only for the hope you play RO again, also for your other streams 😀 Take care of your health, thats the most important thing in life. Best wishes from Germany, Sandy 😊
Its good that your being this honest with us and not hiding your emotions. I appreciate that and im sure most if not all of the chet members do too. We will always support you no matter what bud. You know me ive been here since near the start and im not going anywhere 😂😂😂 You gotta do what makes you happy at this point. After 40 life gets hard and thats when unfortunately you gotta start paying attention to your health 🤦♂️🤣 ( im almost at 40 too lol ). I think going back to old school schedule is good... i personally would like the 12 sharp but thats just me. I think you should do more Van videos too, abandoned places or rarely been on trails if you have some in and around your area. Wish i could join you cause id have way to many ideas lmao
My brother! I been following since the beginning of times of FB gaming. I watch you pour your heart and soul into making us smile and laugh and enjoy gaming with you. I cant count the number of games i learned existed from you and started playing because of you. Take the time and rest up you deserved the break. Enjoy life, we arent going anywhere!
Hey Rya, we love you know matter what man! I know I haven't caught as many streams as I used to and I wish I could. But you helped me so much during the pandemic, and being jobless and almost being homeless. I don't think I could ever thank you enough for having the stream when I was at a really bad point in my life. But I understand you have to take care of yourself first. You helped a bunch of us out, the amount of gratitude we have for you is immeasurable. Take care of yourself and your health. We will be here when you get back!
Very detailed about state of games/gaming. And I have been around when u were huge on FB during Covid and I've seen the streaming thing really drop since late 21 for a lot of people.. I miss the glory days of you Benzer, GT, Creepy and Frosty on FB
What can I say that hasn't been said Rya. Like mentioned before I found you 4 years ago when o was going through hard times watching you and interacting with the community took out of dark places and radiation treatment. Because of you I found a love for PC and simulation gaming. Take care of yourself, heal, reset and recharge the 4% and the rest of the chat will be here when your ready
Hey Rya, thank you for your heart to heart. We're all still your 🥊🥊🥊, remember that! I, for one, would love to follow you and celebrate all your future successes that you mentioned. Could you drop shorts (that sounds weird!😂) as you walk into shape, improve the home (including trash!😁) and even getting a good job. Suggestion: get back into trucking? We 💖 you too Rya and Lorren.
The rawness and the emotion really pulls at me. I will always be here if its not on a live definitely on the replay. Dont ever spread yourself thin and put your health at risk. I can say for the chat you've saved lives you dont even know you've saved. Pulled ppl out of there own slump/depression. Take your time brother get your head right. We all love you!
I appreciate you being open and honest with us. I may not be around as much as I would like to be. Covid kinda created a lot free time for myself and many others for sure. Now that Covid is kinda over, work is busy. I enjoy watching the streams and connecting with chet when I can. Rya, you gotta take care of you first. Your mental and physical health are very important. I understand the struggle, and I'm sure most of us do. These are tough and trying times. Keep that chrome dome up , take a deep breath, and know you have a community that has your back.
Honestly, I never thought of watching a game streamer, but I stumbled on one of your ATS streams on FB, it was totally different. It was a great, fun time and the community is awesome. I’m usually on the sidelines just watching and occasionally commenting. I will continue to support you as best I can.
Same with me, found Rya on FB and I was so stoked to find this channel. I was pretty silent in the background as well but always loved watching these streams. One of the more entertaining streamers.
I came across the strem during the snowrunner release. My interest in the game brought me in but stayed for Rya and Chet. The OGs will still be here so you do you. I am not leaving until the very last boing. #4%
As a healthcare worker, I found your contact on Facebook during the pandemic. I found you when I needed the escape from the horrid reality of working in that atmosphere every day your channel brought me the peace I needed to recharge for the next workday and I am so grateful for that. I’m happy you will still be around and I will continue to support as much as I can, thank you.
You should always do what makes you happy whether that means streaming or flipping burgers. You are a genuinely good guy and we only live once so try to live as much of it as you can with a smile. Take care of yourself and Lorren first and the rest will get figured out in time.
Love you always Rya you may not fully know but I've watched so very much from. The start at fb gaming and you have always influenced my pc gaming future. I cannot and won't be able to thank you enough for all the amazing years but you so much deserve to live a real life I've watched since the start I play on repeat your streams I've missed so much live but watch every single night and still will. Do you man always forever bud!!!!
I have been watching you since August of 2019. I always enjoyed your content and because of my husband's death last year, I just quit watching and following a lot of things that had been very important to me. I hope that the future brings you nothing but good things. I will try to be around to see any new content.
Cheer up my friend, for me you are one of the best streams since you are always prepared for each video game, it is something where the best of you is seen, you always do things very well for your community. I hope everything goes well for you. Take your time, life is just one... Take care of yourself!
Might not be able to watch every stream or make to all the live ones but will always be a supporter. You are legit the first streamer I ever got into watching because of the community and chet and now I only watch you, coop and frosty and that is because of you!! I appreciate all you have put into what we have here on the RyaStream!
Man, lol there is a funny story behind how i started following you back on FB, but gotta take care of yourself man, enjoy yourself, your girl, your friends and family!!!
Thats what happened to me. Your notifications would only go through my email instead of on my dashboard after a certain point :( I'm really sorry to hear the pain it's caused you. You have always been such a good dude to others, n deserve NOTHING but the best!!!! We all love you to Rya!!!!! Sincerely Chief Tanner the Hammer and allllllll of the Chet!!!!!
You are the reason i started streaming, the reason i got a gaming pc, the reason i got ats. you have entertained me for years and i love your stuff. i understand the mental battles. i worked for 20 years in a business that did the same to me, constant pressure external and internal until panic and anxiety overtook my life. end of the day we love you and support your decisions, especially if it has your health and best interests in mind. forever a fan!
I wish I could be there more often then I am. I watch a lot of streams, and I catch myself comparing them to you. No matter what you say your a awsome streamer and I will always support ryastream. You always need to take care of you, and just know the true 4% will always be here when you get back.
One of my first rya streams i watched had me rollin in laughter, you put out great content! So much that i bought a PC just for truck sim! For any future driving you do buddy, just remember three words!! LET 'ER EAT!!! ❤
You do you bro. Still love seeing you. I know I haven't been able to watch a lot because of the job, but I try to watch as much as I can. Appreciate all the realness from you. Way better than the mass content pushers ❤️
Watching this was hard. You were everyone's inspiration. You gave people laughs and smiles but best of all a place where they could come and be themselves. I have met amazing people because of what you built. You belong on Mount Rushmore when it comes to streaming. Ill never forget the tears I cried and how my stream crashed when I got a raid from you. When we first spoke on discord. The late nights playing video games and just chatting in the secret room lol. Rya you spoke so well and it's very understanding. Anyone who thinks different obviously misunderstood the purpose of this video. I know how hard it was to make this and come to this decision. What you said about the games and companies is so spot on. Thanks for never going live just to go live but going live to make us laugh and keep us afloat living in the times that we living in. I love you man. Stepping away from streaming to get a full time job really took a toll on keeping up with communication and streams. But one thing I can always say man is I keep you near and dear. You will always be one of my heroes no matter what happens in the future with your content. You are an amazing person who always kept it real and humble. Who will always lend a hand no matter how big or small we were as a streamer. I love you brother. And I wish nothing but the best for your health, relationship, and your home. I know that it will all work itself out. And you have an amazing community behind you that will always cherish and love everything you have done and continue to do. Love you brother. Be blessed always. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
I've been here for a very long time and I'm never leaving. Since last August I've been fighting a lot medically while building my business and I've been having to listen mostly or watch replays. It's not forever but I'll always show all the support I can. Love you and the Chet..thanks for everything brother 💛
Been knowing of you since twisted truckers shared your stream on facebook. Chin up my guy. You deserve a mental break because you’ve always went over and beyond
Focus on your self Rya. I can totally relate to a lot of what you are saying though I'm not a streamer and may not understand 100%. I've neglected my health and happiness for a long time as well! Unfortunately for me kids and work control that more than I do 😂 But enjoy your time and do what makes you happy Rya much love to you hope you get everything you want in life buddy!
You deserve time to yourself buddy. You have done more than enough for everyone in here. Gotta do what’s best for you. Just know you have done a great job for all you have done. One last thing.. how many edits did you do for this video lol
Thank you Rya, you put your heart and soul into this channel and your content. You’ve built something very special with this community and you should be very proud of that. Been watching a long time, you gotta do what’s best for you. I’m not cancelling my membership either!
Keep doing you Rya! Definitely developed a close friendship with you even if it's just through the streams. Definitely would like to meet you in person and shake your hand. Keep rocking on brother!! 🤘🤘🤘
OG right here...not as OG as DAAAAN but...ya know. I will be here supporting you in everything you do man. You're not a streamer to me you're my friend and you doing what you love and what you need is the most important thing. You have given your community everything and time for yourself is long overdue. I'm looking forward to seeing where this new chapter in your life takes you. Me and a bunch of this amazing community will always stick by you no matter what. We love ya man. PS. Don't EVER cancel channel memberships. And please don't show your OWN skin on stream 😉 #No1Fan
Sorry things are not working out the way you hoped. I don’t get to see a lot of streams live and hide in the shadows of the chat. I enjoy watching the replays at my convenience, usually next day 😂. Hope you’re able to do what makes you happy. #ReplayGang
Thanks buddy for the update! Thatbwas alot to take in but just know that i dont think its anything to do with you. This kinda stuff is challenging and i hope that it turns itself around and we get back to where you was. My family knows i watch you and i always look forward sharing the great content you provide, to them for some unforgettable laughs. Just know that there is going to be understanding from this and the people that choose to stand by you (including myself) will continue to support your choices cause without you, we wouldn't even know is Ryastream is. Im sure i speak for many of us but we love ya bud! Focus on yourself and come back when you can and we'll be here!
I remember finding this channel around the beginning of your time on YT from your train sim world 3 stream a while back. Even though I never knew anything about this stream before I was somehow hooked between you and the awesome community you have built. Thank you for the update and no matter what direction you decide to go I will be here ready for you when you stream even if it means only able to catch the replays after work. Stay strong Rya
I'm relatively new to your streams, but immediately subscribed after your Parkitect stream. You have an great community, and everything you said about ATS & the other sims was spot on. I loved them but now it's an copy paste dlc sim. But burn out is hell you have to take care yourself first.
Rya, I appreciate everything you have done. I found you right after COVID and have been watching ever since. Love your content and most importantly, your personality! Take care of yourself, and I will always be here!
Wish I have been here more often but work has gotten in the way unfortunately the past year. Sorry to hear about this rya but totally understand. Hope to catch a stream in the near future. Till then be well and see ya then.
I think as an OG viewer from Facebook, it does hurt that you feel abandoned. I can't speak for everyone. But I can speak on myself. My life changed, I found myself in a terrible spot and needed to focus on myself, and I didn't have much time to watch streams and participate. I've missed way too many Rya streams. But unfortunately, life does happen. I'm busy working while you're streaming, so I miss a ton. But I can say that I will never forget the amazing times I've had in the stream, I love coming back and watching the past broadcasts. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't play the games I play and love. After 5 years, I still talk about your stream to my friends. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made the changes I did. Before your stream, I never imagined myself playing a game like ats and couldn't have imagined how it would change my life. Since your streams, I have driven 18-wheelers, I have driven tractors, I worked cattle, I've done so much purely based off getting into your ats and farm sim streams that I couldn't of imagined before them. I work in the agricultural industry now because of streams like yours. It's crazy but you have had a major impact on my life without even knowing it. You're a one of a kind man, and I will never forget you and the memories I have here and the difference it made on my life. I wish there was more I could do or say to make you realise you touched and changed many lives, and we all as a community thank you for that. I will continue to support you whenever and wherever I can.
Hey man, I'm a transit bus driver...sometimes you are late enough to have another bus on the same line right on your @ss...Things get wild. When the bus that is supposed to be 15 minutes behind you passes you...yeah, you're down bad. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do to finish the day. You got this Rya.
You gotta do you. I totally understand. I worked 7 days a week for years. And it takes so much out of you. I appreciate all the content and best wishes.
Rya.. I found you a few years ago while sitting in a hospital waiting on the birth of our now almost 4yr old daughter. Tho I'm not a channel member I do make the time to join your streams. Hell I was watching your streams while waiting for our son a few months ago! Tho not financial I do support you. You need to do what's best for you, Lauren and your inner circle. We will be here waiting like birds for daylight.
Been here since you quit driving full time to stream full time and I’m not going anywhere man!! Actually gave me the drive to do what I wanted to do and go get my class A CDLs! Without your stream idk if I would have ever convinced myself to chase the truckin dream!! Love the Ryastream and Chet!! I’ll watch every time you’re ever on, but you have to take care of #1 man!! Best wishes Rya!!
Rya, I can't even put into words the amount of love, respect, and admiration I have for you. My favorite edition was the great train explosion, followed by the Idaho ATS release that had the Rya logo. You will always have a place in my home, because to me, you're my brother. If I ever meet you IRL, expect an embrace. I'm so sorry if you've felt abandoned lately. In my case my job has gotten unbelievably stressful and I've completely lost that middle part of my day. Still, I run away at times to say hello on chat. You're important to me, Rya. So grateful for what you did.
I agree 1000%. you need time for your self, family, friends, and life outside of gaming. Good for you man. I’ve been watching since facebook gaming started. You enjoy and get your life back in order.
Another OG here from Facebook. I will always support you. You bring more than just gaming content and thats why i stay. Everything you put together is always well thought through and you can really tell you put everything into it. Appreciate the video and will always watch regardless of how much you stream. Finding work / life balance is the most important thing. Love the content and the new van video's! Appreciate all you do.
I will forever be grateful for your contribution to the small streamers. You raided me years ago with 3k+ viewers and helped me create the friendships and community I never would have had otherwise.
To the man thats been my support system and has gotten me through multiple low points in life (divorce being the biggest) the biggest thank you for everything. When nobody else was there, the ryastream always was. I love you, i love the stream and will continue to support you for as long as you are here. Much thanks for everything
Been watching since you started with fb gaming. Almost never make the live streams as I work overnight and am sleeping but try to watch the rerun. Definitely seen the ups and downs and I don't think anybody would blame you for wanting your life back. Take care of yourself first and we will all be looking forward to future streams.
As a truck driver and creator, I get it all too well. I'm not going anywhere, even though I've only watched you for a year. You inspired me and motivate me to keep going. You're the best streamer I've ever known and will never leave. With that being said do what's best for you and we'll all be right here. Stay safe out there driver and I'm looking forward for what's next!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻 Also I love the van videos!
Hey man. I don’t talk in the chat really ever. But I want you to know I’m there and love watching you. Been a supporter for over a year and don’t plan on stopping. Do what’s best for you man, and those who love you and what you do will always be here to support you. Your real fans. Fans of you. Thanks for the countless laughs, and here’s to many many more!
Hey man, I said it before I was watching to see if you could keep up with the viewership etc on Facebook long ago and proud of what you ended up doing and the community you created. You did a lot better with the "fame" and kept it longer then most could which is awesome!!! What you did on Facebook is something that not a lot of streamers are going to ever achieve!!!
I've been following you since early Facebook days and on here, I remember be the person who says "who the heck watches this?" Next thing I know years go by and I'm still only watching you ... I don't comment much but just watching your streams are funny and just laugh! Wish you well and all the other OG will understand.. like we all have said , you are stuck with us lol ... be proud of what you achieved!
Will for sure keep that membership. I know I’m not always there live with you but it’s been such a great ride for the past 3 years that I’ve watched. Take care of yourself, take care of your relationships with Lorren, family and friends! We will always be here to support you! Ryastream is and will forever be #1 in our hearts!
I haven’t been here as long as some people. My dad showed me your channel and I’ve come to find a place I love to hang out. I look forward to your streams, regardless of how often they are. I miss being able to watch live as often as I used to but I’ll still be here as long as your putting out videos.
Long time viewer, long time supporter, still around.... You akways gotta do whats best for you. We had other great streamers, inspired by you have to quit. Cause lets face it game streaming is good short term but not long term.
Take care of yourself buddy, been a long time lurker and always have loved the content and even when I couldn't watch live I would return to many vods i was interested in. I hope you get your mental back in check and l like I said, take care of yourself cuz there is no stream without you running the show. Much love and good luck Rya ❤
Thank you for all the countless laughs and all you do. I appreciate your dedication and all your hard work for the Chet. Take some time for yourself and what’s best for you. Will be here and following the adventures in ❤❤❤
Thank you for streaming Rya. I look forward to your content. You are truly the only streamer I tune in to. You keep saying there are better ones out there but I am only loyal to one. The games I buy is ones that you have played and reviewed. I am hooked. Ryastream forever!
I’ve been watching you since some of the first Miano bombs. I truly enjoyed watching your authentic content and passion. I always enjoyed the multiplayer streams you, Podo, and Frosty used to do. I hope you find your peace, but always enjoyed the content
As I’m seeing this video, i got the email for my subscription renewal. I’ve been following you since fairly early in the FB days. I’m not one of the more “popular” Chet members but I’m here for basically every stream. I won’t be canceling. I hope all the best for you Ryan. And appreciate any time we get to see you live. But completely understand life comes first. Just know there are plenty of us that are always going to be here. Like you get attached to a community. We get attached to you and the stream as well.
Thanks for the info buddy! You do you and take care of yourself. I’ll always be a member and continue to support you as long as you’re streaming! Take care man!
I don't remember when I first came across your channel but it was the FB days and the algorithm was pushing you. Not gonna lie at first I didn't think I'd be interested but FB kept pushing you so I started watching and I'm so glad I did. I may not catch many live streams due to work and if I do I'm more of a "lurker" but have come out of the woodwork to comment a few times but I enjoy you and the chet. You're all hilarious and I will be here forever and whenever I can! Do what you need to do bud!

hey guys i forgot to mention. My van content will still continue as i take more van trips. be sure you're subscribed to youtube.com/@vanmanrya to see those videos!
Definitely enjoy those videos. Sometimes I wish they were longer but hey I'll just watch it again. Definitely great content
Brother, so many of us will continue to support you. You have made me laugh at times when I was at a low point in my life. I am forever grateful for that. Maybe the van videos will grow and become huge, you never know. Never give up, follow your dreams, they are what keep you going, and are for YOUR happiness, nobody else's. Bro Hugs...
Going to follow you bud always!
Love the van videos. I agree with Nick wish it was longer. But I do watch it over again. I even put those places on my list to vist
OG viewer here. I’ve witnessed your ups and the downs. I’m not goin anywhere. This community is like family to me. You could never stream again and I would still be here, and in the discord. A majority of this community truly cares about you, Lorren, your wellbeing, and your future. We want you to succeed just as badly as you want to. So, with that said, you do what you need to do to get back to a better version of yourself. I think people forget that mental health is so important and if you’re not in a good spot mentally it will start to affect other aspects of your life. We will be here for the streams or van videos. We love you Rya! Thank you for the 5 fantastic, chaotic, hilarious years. See y’all on the next one! 💛💛
There's no way Denver is an OG. 😂
I don't know if I am an OG or not. I started watching before the move to YT. I will not be going anywhere. Life just got really busy lately.
I agree with you 💯. I'm og from before the Rona and I'm not going anywhere.
100%%%%%%%%
Yeahhhhh us OGs are in for the long haul. Alright everyone, over to @VanManRya!
Can we get a MF round of applause for this man!!!!!!!!!!
Can always count on @Fjigg with the energy! Love it bro
February 2020 i found Rya on FB, started watching and laugh so hard i dang near peed myself, fast-forward April 2024 still watching, take care of yourself Rya my brother from another mother, Chet is family and we thank Papa Rya for everything, travel the roads and grab some good vibes, we'll be here when you need us, Every drop threw my town coffee is on me, 👍
Agreed
Take care care of yourself Rya! We're all here for you, no worries! 😊
4%er here and always will be here as long as you are!! You need to do what is best for you,your mental, and your personal life!! We will always be here for whatever you bring us next buddy! Much brotherly love!
Although I agree with it. It’s sad to say the OG people he talked about that he doesn’t see anymore were part of that 4 percenter club. But yes what’s left of that absolutely will be looking for the van adventures and whatever else is next on the Ryastream
@@dannys32 so true!! But he isn’t getting rid of me lol
I first started watching you probably late 2018 maybe early 2019, I can say you honestly changed my life. I got big into ATS and in August of 2020 I quit my office job that I worked at for close to 10 years and got my CDL's and been driving since. All because I saw a dude playing a video game on Facebook.
THIS is amazing!!!!!!!
Rya, love your content, came over from Facebook and you made me cancel all my streaming services. When I get off of work I'd turn on the replay and watch whatever you played. I didn't care. You brought me through a lot of hard times and we will be here for you no matter what you do. I know all too much about committing your whole life to a job and giving up so much of your life for it. Hope that you are able to get your state of mind in a better place and can go out and enjoy your van and life!
Will be rooting for your wellness and getting better in all the ways. Will be a OG regardless. You are amazing person and the skills you have to entertain people and make them laugh.
Thank you Rya. I’ve been watching you for over 4 years and I understand things change with streaming, and Your physical and mental health is much more important than that. I’ll be in the chat when you do stream.
Even know I don't say much but I been watching you for years. Probably from the start . Thank you for everything you have done to take minds off of other thing. Take care you will be missed. Love you take care . But you have to stream every now and again. Again be safe . Love you all .
Thank you for the information buddy! 😀👍❤️
thanks so much for the support harri!
I’ve been with you forever and I’m staying forever. You gotta make healthy decisions and staying inside 24/7 would drive me insane. Get out and enjoy life buddy, the real ones will be here for you. Get out and clear your head, start traveling. Love ya buddy and appreciate all the years you have dedicated to us. If ya need help cleaning house let me know cause I know an awesome cleaner (cough…Denver….cough) 😂. Take care of yourself and your mental health, that’s the most important thing.
Hey, I've been watching you since FB... I ain't goin anywhere either... except when I have stuff to do, driving people to their appointments etc... but even then, I try to make sure to pop in when I can, even when I am out. Can't chat as much obviously when I am doin that stuff. Don't give up the stream, buddy. We all need a good laugh during the early afternoon!! (usually when I am having breakfast) LOL
Awesome honest words. I am happy I found you when you were streaming our game and I also love to watch your other streams. Your streams and the community are so fun and I will stick around not only for the hope you play RO again, also for your other streams 😀 Take care of your health, thats the most important thing in life. Best wishes from Germany, Sandy 😊
Its good that your being this honest with us and not hiding your emotions. I appreciate that and im sure most if not all of the chet members do too. We will always support you no matter what bud. You know me ive been here since near the start and im not going anywhere 😂😂😂
You gotta do what makes you happy at this point. After 40 life gets hard and thats when unfortunately you gotta start paying attention to your health 🤦♂️🤣 ( im almost at 40 too lol ).
I think going back to old school schedule is good... i personally would like the 12 sharp but thats just me. I think you should do more Van videos too, abandoned places or rarely been on trails if you have some in and around your area. Wish i could join you cause id have way to many ideas lmao
Yep I have to agree with ya. Those van idea are also good.
My brother! I been following since the beginning of times of FB gaming. I watch you pour your heart and soul into making us smile and laugh and enjoy gaming with you. I cant count the number of games i learned existed from you and started playing because of you. Take the time and rest up you deserved the break. Enjoy life, we arent going anywhere!
Hey Rya, we love you know matter what man! I know I haven't caught as many streams as I used to and I wish I could. But you helped me so much during the pandemic, and being jobless and almost being homeless. I don't think I could ever thank you enough for having the stream when I was at a really bad point in my life. But I understand you have to take care of yourself first. You helped a bunch of us out, the amount of gratitude we have for you is immeasurable. Take care of yourself and your health. We will be here when you get back!
Very detailed about state of games/gaming. And I have been around when u were huge on FB during Covid and I've seen the streaming thing really drop since late 21 for a lot of people.. I miss the glory days of you Benzer, GT, Creepy and Frosty on FB
What can I say that hasn't been said Rya. Like mentioned before I found you 4 years ago when o was going through hard times watching you and interacting with the community took out of dark places and radiation treatment. Because of you I found a love for PC and simulation gaming. Take care of yourself, heal, reset and recharge the 4% and the rest of the chat will be here when your ready
Hey Rya, thank you for your heart to heart. We're all still your 🥊🥊🥊, remember that! I, for one, would love to follow you and celebrate all your future successes that you mentioned. Could you drop shorts (that sounds weird!😂) as you walk into shape, improve the home (including trash!😁) and even getting a good job. Suggestion: get back into trucking? We 💖 you too Rya and Lorren.
The rawness and the emotion really pulls at me. I will always be here if its not on a live definitely on the replay. Dont ever spread yourself thin and put your health at risk. I can say for the chat you've saved lives you dont even know you've saved. Pulled ppl out of there own slump/depression. Take your time brother get your head right. We all love you!
I appreciate you being open and honest with us.
I may not be around as much as I would like to be. Covid kinda created a lot free time for myself and many others for sure. Now that Covid is kinda over, work is busy.
I enjoy watching the streams and connecting with chet when I can.
Rya, you gotta take care of you first. Your mental and physical health are very important. I understand the struggle, and I'm sure most of us do. These are tough and trying times. Keep that chrome dome up , take a deep breath, and know you have a community that has your back.
Honestly, I never thought of watching a game streamer, but I stumbled on one of your ATS streams on FB, it was totally different. It was a great, fun time and the community is awesome. I’m usually on the sidelines just watching and occasionally commenting. I will continue to support you as best I can.
Same with me, found Rya on FB and I was so stoked to find this channel. I was pretty silent in the background as well but always loved watching these streams. One of the more entertaining streamers.
I came across the strem during the snowrunner release. My interest in the game brought me in but stayed for Rya and Chet. The OGs will still be here so you do you. I am not leaving until the very last boing. #4%
As a healthcare worker, I found your contact on Facebook during the pandemic. I found you when I needed the escape from the horrid reality of working in that atmosphere every day your channel brought me the peace I needed to recharge for the next workday and I am so grateful for that. I’m happy you will still be around and I will continue to support as much as I can, thank you.
You should always do what makes you happy whether that means streaming or flipping burgers. You are a genuinely good guy and we only live once so try to live as much of it as you can with a smile. Take care of yourself and Lorren first and the rest will get figured out in time.
Love you always Rya you may not fully know but I've watched so very much from. The start at fb gaming and you have always influenced my pc gaming future. I cannot and won't be able to thank you enough for all the amazing years but you so much deserve to live a real life I've watched since the start I play on repeat your streams I've missed so much live but watch every single night and still will. Do you man always forever bud!!!!
Not cancelling. Ever. Will watch whatever you stream. Always fun to hang out. Do what you have to. We will be here!!!
I have been watching you since August of 2019. I always enjoyed your content and because of my husband's death last year, I just quit watching and following a lot of things that had been very important to me. I hope that the future brings you nothing but good things. I will try to be around to see any new content.
Cheer up my friend, for me you are one of the best streams since you are always prepared for each video game, it is something where the best of you is seen, you always do things very well for your community.
I hope everything goes well for you. Take your time, life is just one... Take care of yourself!
I bought several games because I was watching you play them. Have always loved your streams
Might not be able to watch every stream or make to all the live ones but will always be a supporter. You are legit the first streamer I ever got into watching because of the community and chet and now I only watch you, coop and frosty and that is because of you!! I appreciate all you have put into what we have here on the RyaStream!
Man, lol there is a funny story behind how i started following you back on FB, but gotta take care of yourself man, enjoy yourself, your girl, your friends and family!!!
Thats what happened to me. Your notifications would only go through my email instead of on my dashboard after a certain point :( I'm really sorry to hear the pain it's caused you. You have always been such a good dude to others, n deserve NOTHING but the best!!!! We all love you to Rya!!!!! Sincerely Chief Tanner the Hammer and allllllll of the Chet!!!!!
You are the reason i started streaming, the reason i got a gaming pc, the reason i got ats. you have entertained me for years and i love your stuff. i understand the mental battles. i worked for 20 years in a business that did the same to me, constant pressure external and internal until panic and anxiety overtook my life. end of the day we love you and support your decisions, especially if it has your health and best interests in mind. forever a fan!
I wish I could be there more often then I am. I watch a lot of streams, and I catch myself comparing them to you. No matter what you say your a awsome streamer and I will always support ryastream. You always need to take care of you, and just know the true 4% will always be here when you get back.
One of my first rya streams i watched had me rollin in laughter, you put out great content! So much that i bought a PC just for truck sim! For any future driving you do buddy, just remember three words!! LET 'ER EAT!!! ❤
You do you bro. Still love seeing you. I know I haven't been able to watch a lot because of the job, but I try to watch as much as I can. Appreciate all the realness from you. Way better than the mass content pushers ❤️
Thanks so much Chris!!
We will be here for you! Your health and wellbeing should always come first!!❤❤❤❤
Watching this was hard. You were everyone's inspiration. You gave people laughs and smiles but best of all a place where they could come and be themselves. I have met amazing people because of what you built. You belong on Mount Rushmore when it comes to streaming. Ill never forget the tears I cried and how my stream crashed when I got a raid from you. When we first spoke on discord. The late nights playing video games and just chatting in the secret room lol. Rya you spoke so well and it's very understanding. Anyone who thinks different obviously misunderstood the purpose of this video. I know how hard it was to make this and come to this decision. What you said about the games and companies is so spot on. Thanks for never going live just to go live but going live to make us laugh and keep us afloat living in the times that we living in. I love you man. Stepping away from streaming to get a full time job really took a toll on keeping up with communication and streams. But one thing I can always say man is I keep you near and dear. You will always be one of my heroes no matter what happens in the future with your content. You are an amazing person who always kept it real and humble. Who will always lend a hand no matter how big or small we were as a streamer. I love you brother. And I wish nothing but the best for your health, relationship, and your home. I know that it will all work itself out. And you have an amazing community behind you that will always cherish and love everything you have done and continue to do. Love you brother. Be blessed always. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
I've been here for a very long time and I'm never leaving. Since last August I've been fighting a lot medically while building my business and I've been having to listen mostly or watch replays. It's not forever but I'll always show all the support I can. Love you and the Chet..thanks for everything brother 💛
Been knowing of you since twisted truckers shared your stream on facebook. Chin up my guy. You deserve a mental break because you’ve always went over and beyond
Focus on your self Rya. I can totally relate to a lot of what you are saying though I'm not a streamer and may not understand 100%. I've neglected my health and happiness for a long time as well! Unfortunately for me kids and work control that more than I do 😂 But enjoy your time and do what makes you happy Rya much love to you hope you get everything you want in life buddy!
No matter what happens take care of you. The real ones always make time for our Old Pal Rya
You deserve time to yourself buddy. You have done more than enough for everyone in here. Gotta do what’s best for you. Just know you have done a great job for all you have done. One last thing.. how many edits did you do for this video lol
Hey Tony Martig TM, nice post.
Been watching ya from 2019, Rya. You got me through a month in the hospital. Much love, brother!!!
Thank you for all you do!!! Get yourself right , we’ll be here…..Love ya brother!!! 👊🏻😎
Thank you Rya, you put your heart and soul into this channel and your content. You’ve built something very special with this community and you should be very proud of that. Been watching a long time, you gotta do what’s best for you. I’m not cancelling my membership either!
Keep doing you Rya! Definitely developed a close friendship with you even if it's just through the streams. Definitely would like to meet you in person and shake your hand. Keep rocking on brother!! 🤘🤘🤘
OG right here...not as OG as DAAAAN but...ya know.
I will be here supporting you in everything you do man. You're not a streamer to me you're my friend and you doing what you love and what you need is the most important thing. You have given your community everything and time for yourself is long overdue.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this new chapter in your life takes you. Me and a bunch of this amazing community will always stick by you no matter what. We love ya man.
PS. Don't EVER cancel channel memberships. And please don't show your OWN skin on stream 😉
#No1Fan
thanks man this means a lot i really appreciate your long time support!
Sorry things are not working out the way you hoped. I don’t get to see a lot of streams live and hide in the shadows of the chat. I enjoy watching the replays at my convenience, usually next day 😂. Hope you’re able to do what makes you happy.
#ReplayGang
Your'e Awesome. I take meds for panic attacks so I feel you. You've probably changed ALOT of chets life. They like you!
Thanks buddy for the update! Thatbwas alot to take in but just know that i dont think its anything to do with you. This kinda stuff is challenging and i hope that it turns itself around and we get back to where you was. My family knows i watch you and i always look forward sharing the great content you provide, to them for some unforgettable laughs. Just know that there is going to be understanding from this and the people that choose to stand by you (including myself) will continue to support your choices cause without you, we wouldn't even know is Ryastream is. Im sure i speak for many of us but we love ya bud! Focus on yourself and come back when you can and we'll be here!
ed thanks so much! i appreciate all the kind words and things youve remembered from the years! you are awesome!
I think if you put more van videos out that channel will blow up. Love those videos
check out my @vanmanrya channel! youtube.com/@vanmanrya
Will always watch your stream when I can. Been with you for years. I have a question on your health but don't want to be pushy.
feel free to message on discord with any questions!
I remember finding this channel around the beginning of your time on YT from your train sim world 3 stream a while back. Even though I never knew anything about this stream before I was somehow hooked between you and the awesome community you have built. Thank you for the update and no matter what direction you decide to go I will be here ready for you when you stream even if it means only able to catch the replays after work. Stay strong Rya
Been here for it all, and will continue to be here, wouldn't have it any other way! Focus on you Rya, here's to a bright future!
I'm relatively new to your streams, but immediately subscribed after your Parkitect stream. You have an great community, and everything you said about ATS & the other sims was spot on.
I loved them but now it's an copy paste dlc sim. But burn out is hell you have to take care yourself first.
Thanks so much! Glad you found the stream!
Rya, I appreciate everything you have done. I found you right after COVID and have been watching ever since. Love your content and most importantly, your personality! Take care of yourself, and I will always be here!
We got your back, and we'll be here when you are.
Wish I have been here more often but work has gotten in the way unfortunately the past year. Sorry to hear about this rya but totally understand. Hope to catch a stream in the near future. Till then be well and see ya then.
I think as an OG viewer from Facebook, it does hurt that you feel abandoned. I can't speak for everyone. But I can speak on myself. My life changed, I found myself in a terrible spot and needed to focus on myself, and I didn't have much time to watch streams and participate. I've missed way too many Rya streams. But unfortunately, life does happen. I'm busy working while you're streaming, so I miss a ton. But I can say that I will never forget the amazing times I've had in the stream, I love coming back and watching the past broadcasts. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't play the games I play and love. After 5 years, I still talk about your stream to my friends. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made the changes I did. Before your stream, I never imagined myself playing a game like ats and couldn't have imagined how it would change my life. Since your streams, I have driven 18-wheelers, I have driven tractors, I worked cattle, I've done so much purely based off getting into your ats and farm sim streams that I couldn't of imagined before them. I work in the agricultural industry now because of streams like yours. It's crazy but you have had a major impact on my life without even knowing it. You're a one of a kind man, and I will never forget you and the memories I have here and the difference it made on my life. I wish there was more I could do or say to make you realise you touched and changed many lives, and we all as a community thank you for that. I will continue to support you whenever and wherever I can.
AMEN. Great eye opening video. 👌
Hey man, I'm a transit bus driver...sometimes you are late enough to have another bus on the same line right on your @ss...Things get wild. When the bus that is supposed to be 15 minutes behind you passes you...yeah, you're down bad. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do to finish the day. You got this Rya.
I don’t watch for the games. I watch for the community and listen to the potato lord.
Thank you for the honesty. Ever since the potatoes flying on Snowrunner on FB I was hooked. The community is absolutely unlike any other.
You gotta do you. I totally understand. I worked 7 days a week for years. And it takes so much out of you. I appreciate all the content and best wishes.
Rya.. I found you a few years ago while sitting in a hospital waiting on the birth of our now almost 4yr old daughter. Tho I'm not a channel member I do make the time to join your streams. Hell I was watching your streams while waiting for our son a few months ago! Tho not financial I do support you. You need to do what's best for you, Lauren and your inner circle. We will be here waiting like birds for daylight.
Ps ..it was the snow runner streams that got me here 😂
Been here since you quit driving full time to stream full time and I’m not going anywhere man!! Actually gave me the drive to do what I wanted to do and go get my class A CDLs! Without your stream idk if I would have ever convinced myself to chase the truckin dream!! Love the Ryastream and Chet!! I’ll watch every time you’re ever on, but you have to take care of #1 man!! Best wishes Rya!!
Rya, I can't even put into words the amount of love, respect, and admiration I have for you. My favorite edition was the great train explosion, followed by the Idaho ATS release that had the Rya logo. You will always have a place in my home, because to me, you're my brother. If I ever meet you IRL, expect an embrace. I'm so sorry if you've felt abandoned lately. In my case my job has gotten unbelievably stressful and I've completely lost that middle part of my day. Still, I run away at times to say hello on chat. You're important to me, Rya. So grateful for what you did.
I agree 1000%. you need time for your self, family, friends, and life outside of gaming. Good for you man. I’ve been watching since facebook gaming started. You enjoy and get your life back in order.
❤I’m here until the very end bud,you put on a fantastic stream no matter what game you play bud..❤
Another OG here from Facebook. I will always support you. You bring more than just gaming content and thats why i stay. Everything you put together is always well thought through and you can really tell you put everything into it. Appreciate the video and will always watch regardless of how much you stream. Finding work / life balance is the most important thing. Love the content and the new van video's! Appreciate all you do.
Love you Dad just remember you can’t get Rid of family
I will forever be grateful for your contribution to the small streamers. You raided me years ago with 3k+ viewers and helped me create the friendships and community I never would have had otherwise.
To the man thats been my support system and has gotten me through multiple low points in life (divorce being the biggest) the biggest thank you for everything.
When nobody else was there, the ryastream always was.
I love you, i love the stream and will continue to support you for as long as you are here.
Much thanks for everything
Been watching since you started with fb gaming. Almost never make the live streams as I work overnight and am sleeping but try to watch the rerun. Definitely seen the ups and downs and I don't think anybody would blame you for wanting your life back. Take care of yourself first and we will all be looking forward to future streams.
As a truck driver and creator, I get it all too well. I'm not going anywhere, even though I've only watched you for a year. You inspired me and motivate me to keep going. You're the best streamer I've ever known and will never leave. With that being said do what's best for you and we'll all be right here. Stay safe out there driver and I'm looking forward for what's next!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻 Also I love the van videos!
Hey man. I don’t talk in the chat really ever. But I want you to know I’m there and love watching you. Been a supporter for over a year and don’t plan on stopping. Do what’s best for you man, and those who love you and what you do will always be here to support you. Your real fans. Fans of you. Thanks for the countless laughs, and here’s to many many more!
Hope you’re doing good bro!!! Miss stoping in more. I’ll have to check in one of these days.
Appreciate you and the community! You have no idea how much you helped me through the pandemic! You rock!
Hey man, I said it before I was watching to see if you could keep up with the viewership etc on Facebook long ago and proud of what you ended up doing and the community you created. You did a lot better with the "fame" and kept it longer then most could which is awesome!!! What you did on Facebook is something that not a lot of streamers are going to ever achieve!!!
I've been following you since early Facebook days and on here, I remember be the person who says "who the heck watches this?" Next thing I know years go by and I'm still only watching you ... I don't comment much but just watching your streams are funny and just laugh! Wish you well and all the other OG will understand.. like we all have said , you are stuck with us lol ... be proud of what you achieved!
Will for sure keep that membership. I know I’m not always there live with you but it’s been such a great ride for the past 3 years that I’ve watched. Take care of yourself, take care of your relationships with Lorren, family and friends! We will always be here to support you! Ryastream is and will forever be #1 in our hearts!
I haven’t been here as long as some people. My dad showed me your channel and I’ve come to find a place I love to hang out. I look forward to your streams, regardless of how often they are. I miss being able to watch live as often as I used to but I’ll still be here as long as your putting out videos.
Brother you have and continue to do very well. Live Life it is too short !
Long time viewer, long time supporter, still around.... You akways gotta do whats best for you. We had other great streamers, inspired by you have to quit. Cause lets face it game streaming is good short term but not long term.
Love the honesty Rya, I wish you the best and I'm glad gaming crossed our virtual paths.
No matter what the future brings it is always important to put yourself first from to time. As a member of this community you have my full support.
Take care of yourself buddy, been a long time lurker and always have loved the content and even when I couldn't watch live I would return to many vods i was interested in. I hope you get your mental back in check and l like I said, take care of yourself cuz there is no stream without you running the show. Much love and good luck Rya ❤
Thank you for all the countless laughs and all you do. I appreciate your dedication and all your hard work for the Chet. Take some time for yourself and what’s best for you. Will be here and following the adventures in ❤❤❤
Good luck rya on your future im still here pal ❤❤❤
Thank you for streaming Rya. I look forward to your content. You are truly the only streamer I tune in to. You keep saying there are better ones out there but I am only loyal to one. The games I buy is ones that you have played and reviewed. I am hooked. Ryastream forever!
I’ve been watching you since some of the first Miano bombs. I truly enjoyed watching your authentic content and passion. I always enjoyed the multiplayer streams you, Podo, and Frosty used to do. I hope you find your peace, but always enjoyed the content
As I’m seeing this video, i got the email for my subscription renewal. I’ve been following you since fairly early in the FB days. I’m not one of the more “popular” Chet members but I’m here for basically every stream. I won’t be canceling. I hope all the best for you Ryan. And appreciate any time we get to see you live. But completely understand life comes first. Just know there are plenty of us that are always going to be here. Like you get attached to a community. We get attached to you and the stream as well.
Take care of yourself Rya we Real ones will always be here, not going to cancel
Thanks for the info buddy! You do you and take care of yourself. I’ll always be a member and continue to support you as long as you’re streaming! Take care man!
Brother take that van and spend some time with the lady. The mental is important and we'll always be here for the support
I don't remember when I first came across your channel but it was the FB days and the algorithm was pushing you. Not gonna lie at first I didn't think I'd be interested but FB kept pushing you so I started watching and I'm so glad I did. I may not catch many live streams due to work and if I do I'm more of a "lurker" but have come out of the woodwork to comment a few times but I enjoy you and the chet. You're all hilarious and I will be here forever and whenever I can! Do what you need to do bud!
