Don’t feel bad about having mental health problems Lee.. I myself suffer from depression and anxiety and have been on medication for years.. What you do brings happiness and laughter to a lot of people me included and I’m sure the rest of your followers would agree.. It’s appreciated what you do and thank you for doing it. You’re always willing to help other people as best you can in any way you can. You’re a fantastic person.
Thanks buddy , this is what I always wanted for a RUclips channel , a safe space that people could visit that are like-minded with a similar passion , I hope I've achieved that . Thanks for your support pal it really means the world to me
You always stayed true to your opinions Lee. Even if your in ambassador deals. For that you have my respect. Your "say so" is often a factor when I buy games. Many people review and have opinions about simulation games who don't even like simulations. That's not the case with CGD. Please continue and stay as you are. Good luck.
I got nothing but love for you! I’d do it again in a heartbeat!! You and the other Stadia members helped me get through a difficult time during Covid. I’ve made some amazing friends from just watching and hanging out in the chat! You are amazing! Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next!!
Thxs Lee for your back story & being honest, keep making the content bud as your definitely doing something right now I for look forward to watching your vids , not always able to watch live streams as busy doing life things 👍but always watch them later 👍
I appreciate your support pal , wether it be on a video or in a live stream , the fact you take the time to watch what I have created means the world to me 💯
Really enjoyed this video. I love discovering how RUclipsrs/streamers started. I think we have to say a big Thank You to Billy for such an amazing gesture and from what I can tell, it wasn't a gift of just monetary value, but also one which helped you get back into the swing of what you enjoy most and find your "niche", and that you can't put a price on! I think the most important thing is that you're enjoying what you do, be that streaming or making content, because if you're enjoying it, it comes through on stream and video and that is ultimately what gains subs and viewers. Yes, you will definitely have some days/weeks where it seems like the channel hasn't grown but I think as long as you still enjoy doing it, that's always something you can take solace in. I personally love the channel and you are one of my fave sim gaming channels on RUclips. Keep doing what you do and onwards to that 5K subs!
that was an interesting watch. i remember being subbed to this channel when it was under 1k and now its over 4k. hope you crack the 10k subs soon, you really deserve it! cheers mate!
Keep up the great content mate, I love it because it's all console related and I haven't got to troll through loads of videos to then find out it is on PC. Love the channel 👍👏
That's the whole purpose of the channel , to keep it console specific , I will do pc games only if I 💯 % know it's coming to console so you guys can get a sneak peak . Thanks for your support pal it really is appreciated
Awesome dude It's nice to hear a success story come out of RUclips nowadays they're very few and far between unfortunately because the platform is so hard to get any type of exposure on
@@CGDGAMES hopefully many more epic fails and epic successes because we all know the epic fails of the funny bits and the epic successes are just joy 😁
Very interesting and insightful. I first subbed about 4 months ago checking out ‘Taxi Life’. I really like your honesty about games. I really like your TSW 4 vids. You always make me laugh 👍
I first subbed to you when you were streaming a forklift game back in December i think,you must have doubled your subs since then"from small acorns great oaks grow" as the saying goes. Keep up the great work and keep growing 👍
I started following you when taxi life came out. I was waiting to play it and you was streaming it. My first simulation game is truck driver. I was in isolation in January 2021 and was getting annoyed at cod cold war and was watching someone on fb playing ets2 and I only had an xbox so brought truck driver it was ok and then bus sim 18 and now I like simulation games
Started following you Lee,when you were streaming cooking simulator,think you probably had less than 500 subs. You've done really well,keep it up knobchops 😂🤣👍
Really good vid Sir, how you have come along, got all my respect. you just keep the great content coming. do me a favour pls, do a vid on how to get gforce now up and running, if it is possible. Just a quick one, after nearly 3000 hrs on farming sim 22 i had a burn out, same shit different day so to speak, learning MSFS2020 now. keep your head up m8, all will be good. Thanks Lee.
all i can say really is thank you for creating a safe space i certainly understand having mental health struggles i do myself been struggling with it for over 30 years now bpd anxiety depression very intrusive thoughts tourettes and recently discovered i have adhd too and now knowing stuff about you i find you relatable and what you said about streaming and not really getting any followers it really does knock your confidence when you put your all into something and get nowhere im far to anxious to stream and with my mouth id be banned almost immediately lol but i always look for your videos now because it cracks me up when you play bus simulator or fernbus or even taxi life and let the insults fly with the npcs or like on the lake when you said about those two lezzing off lol the asking if any of us thought that was offensive but as i said it doesnt offend me because i am one anyway and i honestly dont bother about that because i know its not said in a nasty way i can tell its not though others are a different story at times but there will always be some crybaby that will take offense and usually they just get ignored anyway because they just do it for attention i can tell you're a good person and a funny guy so sod what others think im glad this is a safe space because too many channels and creators are very judgmental nowadays but i never got that impression here. thats all i wanted to say even though i did ramble on a bit lol oops
You didn't ramble , I appreciate the time you took to write that , and you hit the nail on the head , what we have at cgd games is exactly what I wanted , a safe space for like minded folk to enjoy and laugh together , and learn stuff about their favourite genre of games " simulations " So I appreciate your kind words and support ❣️
@@CGDGAMES im glad you dont think i rambled on i do tend to sometimes and often get told to get to the point or what i type is verbal diarrhoea lol but even though i do go around the houses at times as well i have to type it as i think of it before my mind goes completely blank lol thats certainly happened before because my mind is constantly racing and gaming helps with that a lot otherwise im just getting bored too easily and if im having a bad time with depression and very intrusive thoughts i watch your videos because i know something will be said that will make me crack up laughing lol
I know the feeling how to set up a channel. But, i think to myself: "as long i'm enjoy gaming and creating video's, everyone is welcome to watch or subscribe and i'm not quiting when i got low views". I have not that many followers, people come, people go... sometimes unsubscribers hanging around in the chat and hey are off. I'm making content for fun, not to get as many subs. Just seeing as a hobby. Nice video.
You are right buddy , sometimes it's easy to get bogged down in the numbers , and that's when it becomes a slog ! But its hard not to look at those numbers lol ! Thanks for watching pal I really do appreciate it , and good luck with your channel too 👍
Love watching your channel, Ive got my own channel too (only starting off) How do you record on laptop or pc and upload to RUclips, on my Xbox I have to go via twitch first
I know this is a question you might get allot but I wanted to start my own gaming channel, I am super nervous and I have mental health issues and ADHD which doesn’t let me focus properly. Do you have any advice on someone starting out? Or how to start out? I always wanted to make my own but since there’s so many people making gaming content it’s so hard to think it’s worth it or should I give it a shot? Really appreciate if you can give me some advice or tips?
Best thing to do at the start is to just record yourself playing , don't chat , just record your gameplay and put it out there into the universe , whilst you are recording though just chat to yourself with no mic on , get used to chatting about the game , write keynotes down that you want to talk about , ask the viewer questions as your playing so they can answer in the comments ! Then when you feel you have the confidence start talking on your videos !
As a PS4 & PS5 gamer, i enjoy your (xbox !) videos. Im an avid driving simulator fan, especially truck and bus simulator's-better with a wheel !! Im actually a bus driver in real life, but prefer working from !!😉glad the gaming helps you get through dark days. Keep up the good work ! 👍🚛🚜🚍

How do you record on laptop or pc and upload to RUclips, on my Xbox I have to go via twitch first
I use a pc with OBS and a captured card !
@@CGDGAMES thanks
How do you get the gameplay to a pc to record it ? How do you connect the 2 ? I'm just interested in a little dabble into it. Thanks.
I use a capture card , and programme on my pc called OBS , it captures my gameplay and records or streams it to you guys
@CGDGAMES okay thanks. But how do you connect the Xbox to the PC? A cable or WiFi ?
@animaltvi9515 with the capture card
Pc - usb - capture card - 2 x hdmi - monitor & Xbox
@CGDGAMES Okay, thanks. Have to look into that capture card thingy. Thanks. Which one would you recommend.
