Just want to say- thank you SO MUCH for the kind words y'all. To everyone that's joined up as a Patron- I will either make a big post soon or message y'all (depending on what's better) giving you the details about the exclusive channel, voting on content, and everything else. THANK YOU for trying to make this thing work- we'll see what happens. EDIT: Holy moly, so many comments, can't believe they've virtually all been extremely positive (I mean, there's ONE dislike on this video at the time of writing this which is INSANE to me). I always feel very uneasy uploading a video like this- being vulnerable is always intimidating on a public platform. I want to say thank you again to everyone who's responded so positively to this video. I will respond to all comments eventually- just going to take an extra long gym session and doing it in-between sets hahaha. Talk to you all soon! EDIT #2: Wow. Really was not expecting anything like this to happen. To those that have decided to help keep this thing going- thank you from the bottom of my heart, seriously. I want so bad to put my passion into video form again, and this could just be the catalyst to make that happen. To all of our new Patrons- I just posted a huge update going over everything, feel free to reach out with any questions as it was tricky covering all of the details. THANK YOU.
You know, you could always do OCCASIONAL let's plays with your kids later on. Who knows, Elder Scrolls VI might be out by then. Use this channel as a supplemental income.
We all love ya man and wish you the absolute best. You are on the right track where eventually everything will fall into place and you'll look back and realize how far you've traveled. I love watching your videos and seeing how you have changed positively and the content just kept getting better and better. There's a place for all of us and I know you will be successful in anything you take on. It would be awesome if you could do content plus work on yourself while also still improving and making money all at once. You are the one person I try to watch consistently and keep up with consuming your media. Tons of people have got your back and will support you in whatever you decide. Sending love and warmth in these trying times to you and your family. You are the goat and I'll never forget the Bethesda MASTER 🩶
to me i believe you can do become a voice actor GV your voice it something about it its captivating and enjoyable no matter what bad sad happy etc you end up putting a smile on our faces no matter what we are here for you and will always be here and our arms are open to you whenever you return
@Grohlvana we appreciate the years you gave us boss, hope you have an amazing journey ahead and take care. You're Playlists will always be here for our fixs
Started watching your channel for the dark souls content, and always kind of stuck around since. Whatever the future brings, I want to express my thanks for all the effort you put into this, it's been great!
@@Grohlvana Good luck on your future man. The fact that you've put in the work to change is going to lead you a long way. I've always enjoyed your Skyrim Playthroughs.
My sister just sent me this video. It’s so bittersweet watching this. We’ve both been watching you for years (especially your Let’s 100% Oblivion with Dar’vesh). I’ve probably watched literally thousands of hours of your episodes and fell asleep to your voice countless times. I still do sometimes!! You’ve brought so much joy to so many people. I hope no matter where things take you, they take you somewhere you’re extremely happy, because that’s how you made all of us feel. ❤ I’ll always stay subscribed, and I’ll be doing my annual rewatch of L100%O probably until I’m 80 lol. We love you, man!!!
Whatever you decide and whatever happens to this channel, thank you for all the many hours of great content and conversation. Even a cursory glance over the comments on this video shows you've made a huge positive difference in many people's lives. You've certainly blessed me, and I'm grateful for that.
GV it breaks my heart the channel didnt go how it deserved to. But I am also filled with joy that you have found a new great journey to embark on. I watched you from middle school to highschool and I have been graduated for four years now. Your infamous skyrim playthroughs will never be forgotten. I feel like its goodbye to an old friend but I understand all the same. GV we loved ya man and I hope you have a great time out there in the big world! ❤
GV - 70% of my skyrim knowledge comes from your series and theres so many memories i have if watching it and more of your series. Youve always meant alot to me as one of the youtubers who shaped a part of me through comfort series. I remember loving your ds1 playtbrough and in one of the episodes you talked about some struggles and now years later i was always wortied about how things were but im so happy to see where youve gotten in your life now!! Your such a awesome guy and defintley will be a great father, thanks so much for doing what you do. (i didnt cry i promise]
Hope this isnt the end for you man. I remember watching your vids going on a decade ago, i was very self-conscious in high school and playing Skyrim (still playing til this day) and watching your vids was a great escape. If it doesnt work out, all the best, it seems like youve had your ups and downs over the years but im glad youre in a good place. However, the amount of positivity im seeing from the comments is really encouraging. I hope you can get it going again GV, you have the job i always wish I could have. All the best! (Oh, and if you can get things turned around, id love to see a roleplay where you experiment with some mods like wintersun, i think thatd be fun!)
Thanks so much! Yeah, I would love to- I have a lot of energy to give to the channel but if it's dissipated out of my hands there's not much I can do, which is what I was trying to illustrate in this video. I am astounded by the response both here and on Patreon though so who knows- it's really going to come to a head at the end of the month so we'll see what happens. I really appreciate it and if I ever do another Skyrim playthrough it will without a doubt be fully-modded.
@@Grohlvana No i understand, you have to be pragmatic about this, especially when you're trying to start a family. But my gut tells me this isn't over, so I'll hold you to that :) Stay safe, and by the nine, stay on the road
This channel and your Twitch channel got me through the dark and uncertain times of Covid. In the time that followed, I started a family and was forced to make similar life decisions to those you are talking about. Good luck, you're making a good choice. Thank you so much. Syorker
Gonna miss you on here Vana. You’ve brought me much joy with your playthroughs and I was so invested in the Adrenoch playthrough. I still rewatch the OG Oblivion playthrough all the time. Thank you for being awesome!
I think you’re making a hell of a mature decision. We don’t have the (and shouldn’t have) same goals we do in our thirties as we do in our twenties. Respect for knowing yourself and not having an ego with it, we’re here for you whatever you do tbh.
Thanks for all the years of content GV. I have always thought your channel deserved more recognition than it got. I’ve been a long time youtube viewer, and lurker on twitch (Narddog902), so I am truly going to miss this channel. I wish you and Cyndi the best on your next chapter! My wife and I are currently expecting our first child due in 7 months. It’s been a long, tough road for us but we are super excited for this journey! Good luck in whatever life brings your way next!
Man, this really does feel like the end of era not only on my favorite sports people retiring but even my favorite RUclipsrs it’s been great thanks for raising me and dedicating your time to entertain us
This channel has helped me so much. There was times in my life where I had so much going on but this channel was a place I knew I could relax and have laughs. Thank you for everything GV and know we will always love you!
You know how I feel about you and Cyndi starting a family, my friend. You're good at this job, but you have a fantastic voice. So I've always seen, or heard you, as a voice actor. You can sing as well.
@@GrohlvanaSinging and voice acting are just as competitive as being a RUclipsr. Unless you're wildly better at singing and VAing than YouTubing like ProZD is, I don't recommend them. Especially since a lot of projects that would be great for new VAs are now being taken over by AI. Unless you have a useful (STEM) degree hidden away, you're going to have to get a retail job or something similar. You're not going to just jump into VAing or singing professionally. I know you said you got started on other things, but do you have a professional demo reel already? Have you already trained with professional VAs? If your answer is yes, then great. If not, then you should definitely get a regular 9-5.
Man, it's crazy realizing how long it's been. Your let's plays gave me many years of entertainment through my teens. I stopped using youtube for a couple months back in 2019 (during your fallout new vegas videos, I think), and then just generally stopped watching as much videos since then. However, your videos of skyrim, enderal, the old witcher 3 one, even stuff like thief are so memorable and I still remember as highlights of those days. Wish you nothing but the best!
I just recently found your channel as i started getting back into Skyrim. I've been exploring along with your hidden treasures series. You've inspired me to explore the game more. After hundreds of hours across 13 years and multiple play throughs, I didn't realize how many things I didn't know. Thank you
While this kind of feels like a loss to have the channel no longer be financially viable, it really puts a smile on my face to know you can move forward to a new, potentially greater, chapter of your life. With your energy, you can totally transfer your acquired skills to different areas of work. Best of luck to you and your future family!
I watch your videos nearly every single day...they really help with anxiety and also just for nice ambience while working! I'm headed to Patreon right now to add my contribution. It's the least I can do to say thank you for all the years of great content you created! Family is most important...happy for you!!
You and your channel have gotten me through so many things in life, it will be sad to see you go if that’s what happens. But I totally understand where you’re coming from and wish you all the best.
Man your videos gave me lots of enjoyment and got me through some tough times, especially when I was living on a ship and had a bunch of your videos downloaded to watch on my free time. Wish well on your next journey
Man, To this day I still watch your Skyrim videos on my days off or in my downtime. It's sad to see you go but your plans for the future seem solid. I think you will he just fine. Good luck to you and your family! Never give up GV! Thank you for all the entertainment!
Grohlvana I started watching you 9 years ago stumbled upon your Skyrim Hidden Treasures and I fell in love immediately, then you started your Skyrim Let's Play and every single Mon, Wed, and Friday I would come home from school and that would be the first thing I would do. Finished that series then you did Oblivion and oh my I fell in love with that one too immediately. To think I was in middle school watching your videos and in 2020 I graduated and I still come back and find myself watching and enjoying your content for almost an entire decade and I hope to enjoy it for another 9 years love you GV good luck with everything your life you deserve the best - Dovahniir
I always come by to check on ya GV. It's sad to see this happening, but with new steps on different paths, sometimes calls for big change! Hope the next thing makes your goals come true! Good luck, my dude!
GV just want to say thanks for the memories and amazing moments over the years. Been watching since oblivion series 1, your elder scrolls content has gotten me through tough times, work, even off to sleep. You’ve been a part of my life for years and years even though you don’t know it. Thanks for it all and best of luck for everything in the future dude ❤
You got me into skyrim 5 years back. Comming home from school and watching both the 100% skyrim and the legendary really made my days back then so THANK YOU GV!
GV I’ve been a huge fan of your since 2020 when I found your Grogon play through (still my favorite play through to this day). We’re all so sad to see you go. I usually never subscribe to peoples patreons but I just subbed to yours in hopes it’ll help turn things around and keep the channel going. Either way we’re excited for your next adventure and your journey with starting a family!
Hoping for the best man, you know I'll watch no matter what! Currently a patreon and channel member right now to support what I can. Having started watching this channel in about 2011-2012 I damn near grew up with it. Been here through every era and won't be leaving until you do man. Hopefully we pull through this and can keep on keeping on! Not a farewell, but thanks for all your hard work and dedication to providing content for us over the years! you've helped me through some tough times, and provided much needed entertainment during others. Wishing Cyndi and You the best on your parental journey. Already know y'all will be great, keep us updated!
Thanks so much Desu and truly- thank you for all of our conversations and for sticking around through the rough times. You don't know how much I appreciate you and the help you've done.
Hey GV!! As one of your “grandmas”… If you talk to your children like you do in a Skyrim Guide Vid you’ll be one of the best dads! Just remember showing them life’s “Hidden Treasures” are some of the best times!
Thank you for all the playthroughs you have done on this channel I enjoyed watching them while playing Skyrim and fallout. I enjoyed every playthrough you made
I remember having my Xbox 360 and watching your Skyrim videos whenever i needed help figuring out what to do in the game. I think that i was younger when i was watching the Skyrim series you did. It's kinda amazing how far i made it. Thanks for helping me out!
The respect I have for you is overwhelming, it takes a lot to take accountability and to dump as much as you have into trying to redeem. You're my first, and OG, let's player. Here's to hope 🤞
GV for what it's worth you never lost my subscription and the only reason I was away was because of my broken knee. Now I'm working to get my legs back. Good luck on your family. You will make a good Dad.
Man this hurts to here, I loved the videos man especially the OG oblivion let’s play from like 10 years ago I still go back to watch it, I was always afraid of Oblivion but then I found that let’s play series and it got me over that fear and got me to play and enjoy oblivion when I was younger, I thank you for that, Hope everything goes well and gets better for you man
Thanks so much for all the entertainment over the years. I’ve been watching for a good chunk of my life and I’m very happy for you in your decision to start a family even if that means you have to switch careers. I just hope you continue to upload at least a little bit even if it’s just a one off video or an update. I wish you the best of luck, you will have a forever fan with me.
Hey man. I've been a casual viewer for a couple years. You seem like a genuine and good human. I guess I'm finally signing up for Patreon today, because my world is better when good and creative people are able to make art. Thank you for your authenticity and I really hope enough people come together to keep you going.
Damn i remember watching you back when i was 10 years old in 2014 at the start of your fallout 3 series, id kinda fallen off around the starfield era but i remember being there for new vegas, 100% skyrim, all the multiple second channels you made lol, your sup saturdays, your previous break up , twitch stream, weight loss etc. Shame to see it end like this but glad this video went into my feed so i could say my piece. Wish you all the best regardless in your future with your family planning and life in general, thanks GV!
This is a sad end to a great era. I found your YT channel at the end of college (2017) when I was studying for the CPA exam. The Adrenoch playthrough was awesome background noise when I was studying. My wife and I had a daughter in May this year. Mayvorites 5 got me through some long days and sleepless nights with a newborn. The RDR2 series was kick ass. You have always been an inspiring personality on YT. If you do make the decision to start a new career to support a family, you won't regret it. Having kids is the best. Much love, WetIaM on twitch, Alex Quade on RUclips
I've been subscribed for years but not really active watcher... I've been following your weight loss journey this year regardless and it is super inspirational! I really wish you the best, you are a great guy
GV I loved and enjoyed every minute of this Channel, The content you produced was amazing. I wish you the best of luck in building your family. Again, thank you for the great memories and joyful moments from watching your videos. As always take care, Great Video.
GV. I found your channel at the very beginning of the darkest time in my life in early 2020. Your Skyrim / Dark Souls / Outer Wilds play throughs kept me sane during this time. I would fall asleep on the sofa watching your videos because it was the only thing that helped me relax at the time. I remember sending you a messege on twitch and you were kind enough to send me a really thoughtful reply. Thanks for that bro. I'll always remember that. Anyway. All the best for the future GV. May your road lead you to warm sands.
Whoa.... Sending all the good vibes and wishing you the best on future adventures! Not gonna lie, this hit me in the feels. Been following you for quite some time now.
You actually achieved a lot on RUclips GV mate - nearly 300k subscribers is something many would dream of. I admire your honesty and as a chap who became a dad 8 years ago (I’ve now got two little monsters to take care of), fatherhood brings a huge amount of love, worry (haha) fun and good times. It’s not all plain sailing but you will end up with something in your arms that you care about way more than any RUclips channel - go live your life and make the most of it with your family - it’s the only thing that matters when it’s all over 👍
This channel got me through a lot of hard times, I found you with Adronoch and the 100% Skyrim and I watched and loved the whole thing. And I remember when you were releasing your legendary playthough with Grogon, things were really tough for me and everyone I knew and cared about, but having that series and something to look forward to, through really dark times I think it was something kept me here. This channel means a lot to me and the comfort I feel whenever I've watched is really special to me Thank you so much for all of your videos and years of putting effort into keeping us entertained, I know you'll be an amazing father and I want nothing more than for you to be happy and healthy, I'm getting so much better everyday and there was a time when the only thing I looked forward to was when you released a video Thank you GV for making this channel and making these videos, you've done so much for so many people even if you never know just how important you've been to people Thank you, sincerely, thank you
You were a big part of my love for TES and your Oblivion playthrough 7 years ago is one my of favourites. Hope you have success in the future and congrats on your dedication to the gym journey.
Have been enjoying your content for an insane amount of time at this point you always were just super soothing to listen to and had great commentary, thank you for everything you’ve given the internet :)
You got me through a rough time and I will always be grateful ❤ I support you and only ask that you keep the channel so we can still enjoy everything you have created. Go where you need to go and know we back you ❤ Sending all the love and support I can. I’ll miss you ❤❤
This video is mature, sensible, and honestly heartbreaking. Your channel has been a source of inspiration, encouragement, laughter, relation, and straight-up excellent entertainment. Your followers are hilarious & your content is top-tier. I have so enjoyed seeing you rally for your “3rd Arc,” and will continue to support you & your future fam in whatever it is you throw your passion into. Thank you for everything you did for us 🩵
I remember finding your channel with your original Skyrim’s Hidden Treasures way back. A while back I watched the streams and even added you on Snapchat when you made one lol. I stopped watching for a long time as my own life had a lot of changes, but people grow and things change, and it’s honestly so awesome to see you making the changes you need for your life! Best wishes, GV!!
Grogon and your oblivion playthrough is what I come back to reminisce on you and the games . We’ve had some good times together even tho we’ve never met . !
I've Watched The 100% Oblivion Playthrough At Least 30 Times Since It Originally Released And You've Been A Huge Part Of My School Years Watching It In Between Class And Once I Got Home. Your The GOAT And Hope We Still See More Of Your Great Playthroughs Even If Occasionally And Everything Works Out In The End To Your Benefit.
GV you’ve been one of my fave gaming RUclipsrs for a long time. From watching your oblivion play through and then giving me a new found love for New Vegas as well. I wish you the best of luck with everything and know you’ll always have support!!!
Well done GV glad you’re ready for the next Chapter. Been subbed for years but fell out of the Bethesda game genre. Nice to see you’re doing well and good luck.
Ive watched you for years and have enjoyed every moment, you have taken me out of dark places and just with your steams and your talks have been able to put a new perspective on life for me, I’m sorry it’s not working out the way it should but I’m glad ur focusing on yourself and not just the channel I don’t think any of us want to watch you go and I think i can speak for a majority of people here , i think we all are happy and satisfied with what u have to do for yourself and family you are a great person/ RUclipsr/ streamer we all love you man
This is so sad to hear but understandable. I only recently discovered your RUclips channel and I was binge watching your Let's Play like Skyrim, Oblivion, New Vegas, Fallout 3. Thank you for all the years of content still. Appreciate the effort you've put into every one of your videos.
Joined your patreon dude, thank you for all the effort you put into your content. Sorry to hear that it’s the end, but you gotta do what’s best for the fam. All the best
Thank you so much, GV! I came across your first Skyrim playthrough in 2016 when I was at a deep low point in life. It was a soothing support, something that helped me to momentarily forget about the turmoil I found myself in. And you stayed around when I found a way up again. Good luck to you, I wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do!
broo no way, was just in your live yesterday and you said you will make the desicion in january. Anyways, goodluck with your choices and life and thank you for everything over the years!
Unfortunately how my analytics are trending I don't really have another month to put in a bunch of effort and see things still dwindle- I realized this after that stream.
Whatever happens, I wish you all the best. I subbed here right around the time you made that Skyrim Rap and it's been really cool seeing your channel grow over the years. You made some of my favorite youtube series and were part of the reason I became so invested in the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Thank you for all the work you put into this and I hope you find success with your future projects, whether it's on this channel or elsewhere.
Tbh I didn't expect you to do this full time all the way into your 40's. The fact you made it this far is pretty wild; I always thought it was crazy and cool to ride the Skyrim/twitch/Bthesda wave and make a career out of it in your early 20's the way you described doing it. I discovered you a year ago at a very, very difficult time and you helped keep me afloat isolated in the comfort of my own home over the past year through a lot of darkness and hopelessness. Although things have improved, my personal circumstances are still fairly bad, coping with a health issue. But I too am at the point where I need to transition and make a change for the better, else fall deeper into a rut which would be even harder to get out of. Part of that involves cutting out a lot of time on this platform. Thus, I support you morally whichever direction you choose to go; life is a process of constant necessary transitions, and anything less than that is depriving yourself of deeper growth and understanding.
I found your channel by accodent looking for old oblivion playthrpughs and since then through your journey you became a great inspiration to myself. I have had similar problems and am currently trying to get myself back on track, you are a great example and inspiration that shows that it is possible!!
I’ve been watching for about 7 years or so. I lost my dad in April and it was the hardest time in my life and I turned to binge watching your stuff daily. It made me feel a lot less sad and lonely and like I had a friend on call whenever I needed it. Thank you for your content and all it’s done for myself and others. I will miss you!! I hope whatever you decide makes you happy and helps you achieve everything you want and more.
Thanks for all the content, I started watching you when I was 18 years old and I am now 27 oo no haha. I always enjoyed your style of creating videos and always felt genuine, a rare thing to say or see on RUclips. You deserve to be happy and I wish you the best of luck.
Man Gv, I started watching during the 100% oblivion play through. I can say with complete certainty, you are a great person, and I know you’ll be a great father. I hope you can continue your let’s play endeavors. Good luck, GV.
Thank you for everything that you have done for me, I would not be where I am in life if it wasn’t for the comfort of your videos no matter what you made or put out. I hope us as a community can make a difference for your life and help you start a family
Wow I honestly don't know much about your channel but it looks good. Huge respect for making this video and talking the way you do. Talking with respect for others, honesty and reflicting on past mistakes and so on. That is such a huuge skill to have ::) You have a fan here, I will root for you, whatever you decide to do :D
I watched you all the way back during your playthroughs of the original Fallout game on PC, good series. Later down the line I remember seeing you comment on a Scott Steiner video, and I remember thinking how funny it was to see you in the comments section of such a random video, especially one centered on the Big Bad Booty Daddy himself. Good luck with starting a family, that's something I hope to start for myself very soon as well. Thank you for all your content over the years! Godspeed
Just want to say- thank you SO MUCH for the kind words y'all. To everyone that's joined up as a Patron- I will either make a big post soon or message y'all (depending on what's better) giving you the details about the exclusive channel, voting on content, and everything else. THANK YOU for trying to make this thing work- we'll see what happens.
EDIT: Holy moly, so many comments, can't believe they've virtually all been extremely positive (I mean, there's ONE dislike on this video at the time of writing this which is INSANE to me). I always feel very uneasy uploading a video like this- being vulnerable is always intimidating on a public platform. I want to say thank you again to everyone who's responded so positively to this video. I will respond to all comments eventually- just going to take an extra long gym session and doing it in-between sets hahaha. Talk to you all soon!
EDIT #2: Wow. Really was not expecting anything like this to happen. To those that have decided to help keep this thing going- thank you from the bottom of my heart, seriously. I want so bad to put my passion into video form again, and this could just be the catalyst to make that happen. To all of our new Patrons- I just posted a huge update going over everything, feel free to reach out with any questions as it was tricky covering all of the details. THANK YOU.
You know, you could always do OCCASIONAL let's plays with your kids later on. Who knows, Elder Scrolls VI might be out by then. Use this channel as a supplemental income.
Like I said- maybe in 15 years when it finally releases ha.
We all love ya man and wish you the absolute best. You are on the right track where eventually everything will fall into place and you'll look back and realize how far you've traveled. I love watching your videos and seeing how you have changed positively and the content just kept getting better and better. There's a place for all of us and I know you will be successful in anything you take on. It would be awesome if you could do content plus work on yourself while also still improving and making money all at once. You are the one person I try to watch consistently and keep up with consuming your media. Tons of people have got your back and will support you in whatever you decide. Sending love and warmth in these trying times to you and your family. You are the goat and I'll never forget the Bethesda MASTER 🩶
to me i believe you can do become a voice actor GV your voice it something about it its captivating and enjoyable no matter what bad sad happy etc you end up putting a smile on our faces no matter what we are here for you and will always be here and our arms are open to you whenever you return
Appreciate it!
It's truly been a dream- thanks for being apart of it.
@@Grohlvana thank you for all the laughs mate. Always loved your channel. Especially your skyrim vids ❤️
thank u for helping me finish lies of P goat
@Grohlvana we appreciate the years you gave us boss, hope you have an amazing journey ahead and take care.
You're Playlists will always be here for our fixs
Started watching your channel for the dark souls content, and always kind of stuck around since. Whatever the future brings, I want to express my thanks for all the effort you put into this, it's been great!
@@Grohlvana Good luck on your future man. The fact that you've put in the work to change is going to lead you a long way. I've always enjoyed your Skyrim Playthroughs.
your oblivion playthrough is my comfort series, and I’ve come back to watch every now and then ! It’s hard to believe that came out 7 years ago :(
A long, long time ago.
Super hyped on that one aswell. Oblivion is one of my favorites of all time
I just started one of his 100% play threw on oblivion like a few days ago 👍 good stuff
@@Kayla-sp1bx same!!
Thanks for everything you do GV!
holy jesus thank you, that's insane

We love you, man!!!
Glad to provide y'all with some content :^)
Whatever you decide and whatever happens to this channel, thank you for all the many hours of great content and conversation. Even a cursory glance over the comments on this video shows you've made a huge positive difference in many people's lives. You've certainly blessed me, and I'm grateful for that.
It's definitely an eye opener, that's for sure.
Thank you for all you do for this community. I only hope for the best for you and your family.
thank you very much Peter, thanks for being apart of it.
GV it breaks my heart the channel didnt go how it deserved to. But I am also filled with joy that you have found a new great journey to embark on. I watched you from middle school to highschool and I have been graduated for four years now. Your infamous skyrim playthroughs will never be forgotten. I feel like its goodbye to an old friend but I understand all the same. GV we loved ya man and I hope you have a great time out there in the big world! ❤

Hope this isnt the end for you man. I remember watching your vids going on a decade ago, i was very self-conscious in high school and playing Skyrim (still playing til this day) and watching your vids was a great escape. If it doesnt work out, all the best, it seems like youve had your ups and downs over the years but im glad youre in a good place. However, the amount of positivity im seeing from the comments is really encouraging. I hope you can get it going again GV, you have the job i always wish I could have. All the best! (Oh, and if you can get things turned around, id love to see a roleplay where you experiment with some mods like wintersun, i think thatd be fun!)
Thanks so much! Yeah, I would love to- I have a lot of energy to give to the channel but if it's dissipated out of my hands there's not much I can do, which is what I was trying to illustrate in this video. I am astounded by the response both here and on Patreon though so who knows- it's really going to come to a head at the end of the month so we'll see what happens. I really appreciate it and if I ever do another Skyrim playthrough it will without a doubt be fully-modded.
@@Grohlvana No i understand, you have to be pragmatic about this, especially when you're trying to start a family. But my gut tells me this isn't over, so I'll hold you to that :) Stay safe, and by the nine, stay on the road
Awww man super sad to see you go. You played all my favorite games and you was the coolest and realist gamer on RUclips
Appreciate it, all good things!
This channel and your Twitch channel got me through the dark and uncertain times of Covid. In the time that followed, I started a family and was forced to make similar life decisions to those you are talking about.
Good luck, you're making a good choice. Thank you so much.
Syorker
Thanks for everything!
Thanks!
Appreciate it!
Good luck GV. No matter what you do. You sir deserve it
Appreciate all the support and positivity!
Forgot to add a super thanks earlier...keep on keepin on brother. The final GG
holy moly man. Thanks for this, and thanks for everything, truly.
Gonna miss you on here Vana. You’ve brought me much joy with your playthroughs and I was so invested in the Adrenoch playthrough. I still rewatch the OG Oblivion playthrough all the time. Thank you for being awesome!
Thank you for watching :^)
@@Grohlvana Good luck on starting a family, I just had my first daughter this year. It’s gonna be great for you guys 🙏
I think you’re making a hell of a mature decision. We don’t have the (and shouldn’t have) same goals we do in our thirties as we do in our twenties. Respect for knowing yourself and not having an ego with it, we’re here for you whatever you do tbh.
Yeah, I fought it for a long while but eventually you have to make the smart decision no matter how much passion you have.
Thanks for all the years of content GV. I have always thought your channel deserved more recognition than it got. I’ve been a long time youtube viewer, and lurker on twitch (Narddog902), so I am truly going to miss this channel.
I wish you and Cyndi the best on your next chapter! My wife and I are currently expecting our first child due in 7 months. It’s been a long, tough road for us but we are super excited for this journey!
Good luck in whatever life brings your way next!
Thank you very much, and I'm genuinely very excited for you. Wishing you nothing but the best!
Man, this really does feel like the end of era not only on my favorite sports people retiring but even my favorite RUclipsrs it’s been great thanks for raising me and dedicating your time to entertain us
This channel has helped me so much. There was times in my life where I had so much going on but this channel was a place I knew I could relax and have laughs. Thank you for everything GV and know we will always love you!
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
You know how I feel about you and Cyndi starting a family, my friend. You're good at this job, but you have a fantastic voice. So I've always seen, or heard you, as a voice actor. You can sing as well.
Ha, I do enjoy singing, that would be an interesting transition... and thank you!
@@GrohlvanaSinging and voice acting are just as competitive as being a RUclipsr. Unless you're wildly better at singing and VAing than YouTubing like ProZD is, I don't recommend them. Especially since a lot of projects that would be great for new VAs are now being taken over by AI. Unless you have a useful (STEM) degree hidden away, you're going to have to get a retail job or something similar. You're not going to just jump into VAing or singing professionally. I know you said you got started on other things, but do you have a professional demo reel already? Have you already trained with professional VAs? If your answer is yes, then great. If not, then you should definitely get a regular 9-5.
Man, it's crazy realizing how long it's been. Your let's plays gave me many years of entertainment through my teens. I stopped using youtube for a couple months back in 2019 (during your fallout new vegas videos, I think), and then just generally stopped watching as much videos since then. However, your videos of skyrim, enderal, the old witcher 3 one, even stuff like thief are so memorable and I still remember as highlights of those days. Wish you nothing but the best!
Thank you, same to you!
Everyone to the Patreon! Let's make this happen!
Interesting things going on over there...
i watched you back in the day for the TES oblivion content, thanks so much for the good times
Absolutely!
I just recently found your channel as i started getting back into Skyrim. I've been exploring along with your hidden treasures series. You've inspired me to explore the game more. After hundreds of hours across 13 years and multiple play throughs, I didn't realize how many things I didn't know. Thank you
Oh for sure, always new things to find.
Good luck on your next projects! Hope to see them come to fruition in full
Thank you!
this is inspiring, imma stay subbed. who knows what the future brings.
Who knows- hopefully the best for all of us.
Just adding a "thanks" since I'm already an annual Patreon patron. 🙂
thank you LCG, as always I always enjoy our conversations
While this kind of feels like a loss to have the channel no longer be financially viable, it really puts a smile on my face to know you can move forward to a new, potentially greater, chapter of your life.
With your energy, you can totally transfer your acquired skills to different areas of work. Best of luck to you and your future family!
Thank you!
I watch your videos nearly every single day...they really help with anxiety and also just for nice ambience while working! I'm headed to Patreon right now to add my contribution. It's the least I can do to say thank you for all the years of great content you created! Family is most important...happy for you!!
Thank you very much for supporting.
Watched your Skyrim vids and loved them. Luck with everything.
Thank you!
You and your channel have gotten me through so many things in life, it will be sad to see you go if that’s what happens. But I totally understand where you’re coming from and wish you all the best.
Same to you!
Man your videos gave me lots of enjoyment and got me through some tough times, especially when I was living on a ship and had a bunch of your videos downloaded to watch on my free time. Wish well on your next journey
Same to you!
Thank you for letting me be part of your journey and much love to whatever you decide to do thanks Gv.❤️
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for everything ❤️ You revived my love for Skyrim 5 years ago, and I now have a little girl named after the one in Windhelm.
That's awesome, thanks for watching!
The Skyrim playthroughs you’ve put together have always been a comfort for me. Thank you for creating what you have.
Man, To this day I still watch your Skyrim videos on my days off or in my downtime. It's sad to see you go but your plans for the future seem solid. I think you will he just fine. Good luck to you and your family! Never give up GV! Thank you for all the entertainment!
Giving up just ain't in my nature, thank you for watching!
Such a bummer coming from someone who just recently discovered you! I hope all the things you are working for come to pass. Much respect.
Thank you Goose!
I will miss you man, thanks for being there for me when i grew up. May your road lead you to warm sands. We wont forget you
Thanks for watching!
Grohlvana I started watching you 9 years ago stumbled upon your Skyrim Hidden Treasures and I fell in love immediately, then you started your Skyrim Let's Play and every single Mon, Wed, and Friday I would come home from school and that would be the first thing I would do. Finished that series then you did Oblivion and oh my I fell in love with that one too immediately. To think I was in middle school watching your videos and in 2020 I graduated and I still come back and find myself watching and enjoying your content for almost an entire decade and I hope to enjoy it for another 9 years love you GV good luck with everything your life you deserve the best - Dovahniir
Appreciate it
I always come by to check on ya GV. It's sad to see this happening, but with new steps on different paths, sometimes calls for big change! Hope the next thing makes your goals come true! Good luck, my dude!
Thank you!
GV just want to say thanks for the memories and amazing moments over the years. Been watching since oblivion series 1, your elder scrolls content has gotten me through tough times, work, even off to sleep. You’ve been a part of my life for years and years even though you don’t know it. Thanks for it all and best of luck for everything in the future dude ❤
Same to you!
You got me into skyrim 5 years back. Comming home from school and watching both the 100% skyrim and the legendary really made my days back then so THANK YOU GV!
Thank you!
GV I’ve been a huge fan of your since 2020 when I found your Grogon play through (still my favorite play through to this day). We’re all so sad to see you go. I usually never subscribe to peoples patreons but I just subbed to yours in hopes it’ll help turn things around and keep the channel going. Either way we’re excited for your next adventure and your journey with starting a family!
Thank you very much!
Hoping for the best man, you know I'll watch no matter what! Currently a patreon and channel member right now to support what I can. Having started watching this channel in about 2011-2012 I damn near grew up with it. Been here through every era and won't be leaving until you do man. Hopefully we pull through this and can keep on keeping on! Not a farewell, but thanks for all your hard work and dedication to providing content for us over the years! you've helped me through some tough times, and provided much needed entertainment during others. Wishing Cyndi and You the best on your parental journey. Already know y'all will be great, keep us updated!
Thanks so much Desu and truly- thank you for all of our conversations and for sticking around through the rough times. You don't know how much I appreciate you and the help you've done.
Hey GV!! As one of your “grandmas”… If you talk to your children like you do in a Skyrim Guide Vid you’ll be one of the best dads! Just remember showing them life’s “Hidden Treasures” are some of the best times!
Ha, for sure, I know we'll have lots of fun.
cant believe its been this long. i fell out over the recent years but i always came back to the older uploads when i needed the youtube comfort
Thank you for all the playthroughs you have done on this channel I enjoyed watching them while playing Skyrim and fallout. I enjoyed every playthrough you made
I remember having my Xbox 360 and watching your Skyrim videos whenever i needed help figuring out what to do in the game. I think that i was younger when i was watching the Skyrim series you did. It's kinda amazing how far i made it. Thanks for helping me out!
Your videos helped me feel better during the toughest time in my life and for that I'm so grateful! Thank you GV for your years of work!
Glad to help out!
The respect I have for you is overwhelming, it takes a lot to take accountability and to dump as much as you have into trying to redeem. You're my first, and OG, let's player. Here's to hope 🤞
No sense beating around the bush or deluding oneself, right? We'll see what happens :^)
Watched from when i frist got into fallout years back im so greatful to all lets plays you created such an experience
Glad to create some entertainment!
GV for what it's worth you never lost my subscription and the only reason I was away was because of my broken knee. Now I'm working to get my legs back. Good luck on your family. You will make a good Dad.
Thank you Garfield!
Thank you Grohlvana! I wish you a good luck on your next journey
Same to you!
Man this hurts to here, I loved the videos man especially the OG oblivion let’s play from like 10 years ago I still go back to watch it, I was always afraid of Oblivion but then I found that let’s play series and it got me over that fear and got me to play and enjoy oblivion when I was younger, I thank you for that, Hope everything goes well and gets better for you man
Glad to show you the wonders of Oblivion :^)
Thanks so much for all the entertainment over the years. I’ve been watching for a good chunk of my life and I’m very happy for you in your decision to start a family even if that means you have to switch careers. I just hope you continue to upload at least a little bit even if it’s just a one off video or an update. I wish you the best of luck, you will have a forever fan with me.
Thank you for watching!
Hey man. I've been a casual viewer for a couple years. You seem like a genuine and good human. I guess I'm finally signing up for Patreon today, because my world is better when good and creative people are able to make art. Thank you for your authenticity and I really hope enough people come together to keep you going.
Very much appreciated, it's looking hopeful!
Damn i remember watching you back when i was 10 years old in 2014 at the start of your fallout 3 series, id kinda fallen off around the starfield era but i remember being there for new vegas, 100% skyrim, all the multiple second channels you made lol, your sup saturdays, your previous break up , twitch stream, weight loss etc. Shame to see it end like this but glad this video went into my feed so i could say my piece. Wish you all the best regardless in your future with your family planning and life in general, thanks GV!
Thanks for watching!
This is a sad end to a great era. I found your YT channel at the end of college (2017) when I was studying for the CPA exam. The Adrenoch playthrough was awesome background noise when I was studying. My wife and I had a daughter in May this year. Mayvorites 5 got me through some long days and sleepless nights with a newborn. The RDR2 series was kick ass. You have always been an inspiring personality on YT.
If you do make the decision to start a new career to support a family, you won't regret it. Having kids is the best.
Much love,
WetIaM on twitch, Alex Quade on RUclips
Thanks for all of our recent conversations Alex!
Hope you a successful future. Were same age and ive been watching you since 2011 when Skyrim came out so its sad to see you go. Alot of memories.
I've been subscribed for years but not really active watcher... I've been following your weight loss journey this year regardless and it is super inspirational! I really wish you the best, you are a great guy
Glad to be of a positive inspiration whatsoever :^)
GV I loved and enjoyed every minute of this Channel, The content you produced was amazing. I wish you the best of luck in building your family. Again, thank you for the great memories and joyful moments from watching your videos. As always take care,
Great Video.
Thanks for all of your kind words over the years!
GV. I found your channel at the very beginning of the darkest time in my life in early 2020. Your Skyrim / Dark Souls / Outer Wilds play throughs kept me sane during this time. I would fall asleep on the sofa watching your videos because it was the only thing that helped me relax at the time. I remember sending you a messege on twitch and you were kind enough to send me a really thoughtful reply. Thanks for that bro. I'll always remember that.
Anyway. All the best for the future GV. May your road lead you to warm sands.
Glad to provide some comfort, thanks for watching!
Whoa.... Sending all the good vibes and wishing you the best on future adventures! Not gonna lie, this hit me in the feels. Been following you for quite some time now.
All good things and all that. Same to you!
You actually achieved a lot on RUclips GV mate - nearly 300k subscribers is something many would dream of. I admire your honesty and as a chap who became a dad 8 years ago (I’ve now got two little monsters to take care of), fatherhood brings a huge amount of love, worry (haha) fun and good times. It’s not all plain sailing but you will end up with something in your arms that you care about way more than any RUclips channel - go live your life and make the most of it with your family - it’s the only thing that matters when it’s all over 👍
This channel got me through a lot of hard times, I found you with Adronoch and the 100% Skyrim and I watched and loved the whole thing. And I remember when you were releasing your legendary playthough with Grogon, things were really tough for me and everyone I knew and cared about, but having that series and something to look forward to, through really dark times I think it was something kept me here.
This channel means a lot to me and the comfort I feel whenever I've watched is really special to me
Thank you so much for all of your videos and years of putting effort into keeping us entertained, I know you'll be an amazing father and I want nothing more than for you to be happy and healthy, I'm getting so much better everyday and there was a time when the only thing I looked forward to was when you released a video
Thank you GV for making this channel and making these videos, you've done so much for so many people even if you never know just how important you've been to people
Thank you, sincerely, thank you
No problem at all, glad to provide entertainment over the years!
So much love to you, GV. Your videos have gotten me through a lot over the years. I’m so excited for your future family! I want the very best for you
Appreciate it!
I love your channel ❤ listened and watched hundreds of hours and Oblivion was my go to let’s play to listen to while at work 🙏
Thank you for watching.
You were a big part of my love for TES and your Oblivion playthrough 7 years ago is one my of favourites. Hope you have success in the future and congrats on your dedication to the gym journey.
Thank you!
Have been enjoying your content for an insane amount of time at this point you always were just super soothing to listen to and had great commentary, thank you for everything you’ve given the internet :)
Thank you for watching!
You got me through a rough time and I will always be grateful ❤ I support you and only ask that you keep the channel so we can still enjoy everything you have created. Go where you need to go and know we back you ❤
Sending all the love and support I can. I’ll miss you ❤❤
Oh yeah, not deleting anything- probably should have mentioned that.
This video is mature, sensible, and honestly heartbreaking. Your channel has been a source of inspiration, encouragement, laughter, relation, and straight-up excellent entertainment. Your followers are hilarious & your content is top-tier. I have so enjoyed seeing you rally for your “3rd Arc,” and will continue to support you & your future fam in whatever it is you throw your passion into. Thank you for everything you did for us 🩵
Of course! Thank you for watching, and thank you for supporting!
Truly wish the best for you and your future family and appreciate the hours of entertainment you have provided!
Thanks for watching!
I remember finding your channel with your original Skyrim’s Hidden Treasures way back. A while back I watched the streams and even added you on Snapchat when you made one lol. I stopped watching for a long time as my own life had a lot of changes, but people grow and things change, and it’s honestly so awesome to see you making the changes you need for your life! Best wishes, GV!!
Ah yes, Snapchat- never could figure that platform out.
Grogon and your oblivion playthrough is what I come back to reminisce on you and the games . We’ve had some good times together even tho we’ve never met . !
I've Watched The 100% Oblivion Playthrough At Least 30 Times Since It Originally Released And You've Been A Huge Part Of My School Years Watching It In Between Class And Once I Got Home. Your The GOAT And Hope We Still See More Of Your Great Playthroughs Even If Occasionally And Everything Works Out In The End To Your Benefit.
Thanks for watching!
Loved watching your videos and will miss them dearly. I wish you all the best in the future and wherever it takes you.
Thank you!
Thanks for being open and transparent! I appreciate and respect it. I'll continue to support you :)
Thank you!
GV you’ve been one of my fave gaming RUclipsrs for a long time. From watching your oblivion play through and then giving me a new found love for New Vegas as well. I wish you the best of luck with everything and know you’ll always have support!!!
Thank you!
Well done GV glad you’re ready for the next Chapter. Been subbed for years but fell out of the Bethesda game genre. Nice to see you’re doing well and good luck.
Thank you!
Ive watched you for years and have enjoyed every moment, you have taken me out of dark places and just with your steams and your talks have been able to put a new perspective on life for me, I’m sorry it’s not working out the way it should but I’m glad ur focusing on yourself and not just the channel I don’t think any of us want to watch you go and I think i can speak for a majority of people here , i think we all are happy and satisfied with what u have to do for yourself and family you are a great person/ RUclipsr/ streamer we all love you man
Thanks so much for watching, glad to help out!
This is so sad to hear but understandable. I only recently discovered your RUclips channel and I was binge watching your Let's Play like Skyrim, Oblivion, New Vegas, Fallout 3.
Thank you for all the years of content still. Appreciate the effort you've put into every one of your videos.
Absolutely!
just joined the patreon, wishing you the best no matter what the future holds!
Very much appreciated, thank you!
Joined your patreon dude, thank you for all the effort you put into your content. Sorry to hear that it’s the end, but you gotta do what’s best for the fam. All the best
Thank you very much for supporting!
Good luck in all your future endeavors! I will always come back to your videos. Thanks for all the good times.
Thanks for watching!
@Grohlvana You are a great RUclipsr dude. Nicely done.
Thank you so much, GV! I came across your first Skyrim playthrough in 2016 when I was at a deep low point in life. It was a soothing support, something that helped me to momentarily forget about the turmoil I found myself in. And you stayed around when I found a way up again. Good luck to you, I wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do!
Thank ye'
broo no way, was just in your live yesterday and you said you will make the desicion in january. Anyways, goodluck with your choices and life and thank you for everything over the years!
Unfortunately how my analytics are trending I don't really have another month to put in a bunch of effort and see things still dwindle- I realized this after that stream.
@@Grohlvanaah that makes sense
@@Grohlvana it’s still crazy on how you have some many subs and so few views lately, it feels more like it’s RUclips missing the beat.
Great job getting back in shape - its not easy and you've accomplished alot. Thanks for the content and good luck on your journey brohan!
Thank you, to you as well.
Whatever happens, I wish you all the best. I subbed here right around the time you made that Skyrim Rap and it's been really cool seeing your channel grow over the years. You made some of my favorite youtube series and were part of the reason I became so invested in the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Thank you for all the work you put into this and I hope you find success with your future projects, whether it's on this channel or elsewhere.
Ah the Skyrim rap, good times.
Tbh I didn't expect you to do this full time all the way into your 40's. The fact you made it this far is pretty wild; I always thought it was crazy and cool to ride the Skyrim/twitch/Bthesda wave and make a career out of it in your early 20's the way you described doing it.
I discovered you a year ago at a very, very difficult time and you helped keep me afloat isolated in the comfort of my own home over the past year through a lot of darkness and hopelessness. Although things have improved, my personal circumstances are still fairly bad, coping with a health issue. But I too am at the point where I need to transition and make a change for the better, else fall deeper into a rut which would be even harder to get out of. Part of that involves cutting out a lot of time on this platform. Thus, I support you morally whichever direction you choose to go; life is a process of constant necessary transitions, and anything less than that is depriving yourself of deeper growth and understanding.
I found your channel by accodent looking for old oblivion playthrpughs and since then through your journey you became a great inspiration to myself.
I have had similar problems and am currently trying to get myself back on track, you are a great example and inspiration that shows that it is possible!!
Without a doubt. And best of luck to you!
I’ve been watching for about 7 years or so. I lost my dad in April and it was the hardest time in my life and I turned to binge watching your stuff daily. It made me feel a lot less sad and lonely and like I had a friend on call whenever I needed it. Thank you for your content and all it’s done for myself and others. I will miss you!! I hope whatever you decide makes you happy and helps you achieve everything you want and more.
Glad to help during that time, and thank you!
Thanks for all the content, I started watching you when I was 18 years old and I am now 27 oo no haha. I always enjoyed your style of creating videos and always felt genuine, a rare thing to say or see on RUclips. You deserve to be happy and I wish you the best of luck.
Oh man, insane how fast time passes.
Man Gv, I started watching during the 100% oblivion play through. I can say with complete certainty, you are a great person, and I know you’ll be a great father. I hope you can continue your let’s play endeavors. Good luck, GV.
Thank you!
Thank you for everything that you have done for me, I would not be where I am in life if it wasn’t for the comfort of your videos no matter what you made or put out. I hope us as a community can make a difference for your life and help you start a family
That would be awesome, but I'm trying to stay realistic here! Ha, thanks for watching Brandon.
Wow I honestly don't know much about your channel but it looks good. Huge respect for making this video and talking the way you do. Talking with respect for others, honesty and reflicting on past mistakes and so on. That is such a huuge skill to have ::) You have a fan here, I will root for you, whatever you decide to do :D
2:00 that progress is incredible dude!
Thank you, I have definitely been pushing myself and it feels good.
Man! I have been watching your videos for like 10 or more years 😢
Insane, boy how time flies.
I watched you all the way back during your playthroughs of the original Fallout game on PC, good series. Later down the line I remember seeing you comment on a Scott Steiner video, and I remember thinking how funny it was to see you in the comments section of such a random video, especially one centered on the Big Bad Booty Daddy himself. Good luck with starting a family, that's something I hope to start for myself very soon as well. Thank you for all your content over the years! Godspeed
