"i can't make the star any more pointy" sounds like an outtake from Spinal Tap

I don't expect much from content creators. I view it akin to a service: We're the customers, and creators are the service providers who offer compelling incentives/talents to their consumer base. It's inevitable that, after several years, a tragedy or life event occurs that shifts attention away from the daily grind. Honestly, we should be more comfortable accepting that people aren't machines; maximizing output to the detriment of personal development is unsustainable long-term. And above all: Just take it easy once in a while and take a break if you can.

Great video mate. Life can suck at times, but I admire your willingness to front up and just give us all an idea of what is going on, especially your beloved patrons. I was curious as to the slower output, I did put it down to the Barcadia journey myself, onward and upward bud.

Keep yourself happy man. We don't care about your video count, we care about YOU! Keep safe man, we're human. I hope you're safe man.

Absolutely. I prefer longer production for higher quality. I subscribe to dozens of channels like this for a reason. Once the video comes out, it will go into my feed and I have no expectation for any of them of when that will be (but I know it will be worth it when it does).

Do not apologize. Focus on yourself. I'll just enjoy everything else you've put out. I know you'll come back better than ever

From a long time pub landlord: just be careful what you're drinking now you're running a bar! It can be far too easy when you're around people drinking all day to join in and/or stay late every night drinking with staff/friends/regulars. It's definitely not good for your mental health, nor for motivation to get work done!

@kveitehitmaker6316

Yup. So, no vices at work, none.

I don't even notice when KZreadrs don't upload for a while, never understood these videos lol. You do you dude

What a great space that is! It's going to look amazing. I only found you recently (not sure how that happened so late) but have been going back through your content and it's honestly amazing stuff - right up my street. Sorry to hear about hard times and I know exactly what it's like to have to creatively keep producing even when it's facing a looming storm, be it burn out or something else. Like you mentioned, it's all very tied together so if one thing changes, it can have all sorts of ramifications (mentally, financially) and knock on effects. So without wanting to put any pressure on, I can't wait to see more content but even if you never released anything again, you can more than proud of an awesome body of work. I know these videos are monsters to put together and no quick job in any sense so it doesn't matter about upload frequency....anyways, best of luck sorting the space ☺️👍

Always awesome watching your videos! Been following your videos for years and to this date, the video on Cyrix and Amiga are my most favourite KZread videos ever! Keep it up and looking forward to watching some cool videos soon.

Now that's a very good apology. You said sorry not because you did something fishy, but because you haven't put out a lot of videos and haven't done much with the place you live in. Good job, man, you took your time to get back on track

Glad to see you back! The cables under the desk though! Would recommend mounting a power strip on the bottom, much tidier and safer.

Man no apologies necessary. Were all human and go through these shit phases now and then. A couple years back in the span of just over a year I broke up with my gf of 5+ years, my father died and a family pet died. Then a year after that landed a great paying job where people really appreciate me and love the work. Life has ebbs and flows. Thats just how it is. Love your content and happy to see your arcade bar is working out. Much love from across the pond. Great production computer setup mate. Trying to narrow my new vid card for production use thats best bang for $.

Apologies are necessary; even if only to give a huge boost in interactivity so the Algorithm realizes the channel exists.

It's great seeing you back, but also you don't have to apologize for having to step away! 2022 was my year from hell, and I'm still not really back from it... healing from big difficult life events takes time, so take the time you need. Also the space you're working on looks like a wonderful retro hangout! My vote for a name would be "The Nerd Nook"! Cheers!

Glad you’re alright now. I hope your future is much better.

I kept expecting Ashens massive hands to appear and start manhandling you around that sofa

All is looking great. Love the tour and plan talk. Take care of yourself first and foremost. Great seeing Octavius and her furry family.

Great video as always Peter! 👍 Like others have said here, there's no need to apologies. Life doesn't always allow us to do what we want to do. What really matters is that you're okay. I'll be visiting Barcadia for the first time this weekend. Needless to say, I'm a little bit excited! 😊

Hi NN, great to see you again!! Glad that things are going in the right direction for you again. You make the quirkiest content and that is brilliant 👍Just keep up the good work and hope to get the chance to visit your new place when you open 🤞

I salute your contribution to the industry. It’s superb . I’m new to the group and still catching up with past videos . May I wish you al the success in the future and I for one will make effort to keep up to date on posts . Put the kettle on grab a biscuit and be reassured what your producing is mint

Glad things are getting better, and hope for more content as and when you're ready and able. Nice to see Octavius and Coconut lend a hand (paw?) too!

Much love to you man, take all the time you need to get back on track, and if I can ever get over to Norwich I will be straight down to Barcadia

I'm glad to see you getting back into the swing of things. I'm always interested in seeing the fixtures and trinkets that people have in their offices, even though I'm a complete minimalist and won't install so much as a picture on my wall. If you want a name for the place, I suggest keeping it simple, like 'Nostalgia Hut' or - with reference to a component of old CRT TVs - 'The Electron Dream'. Speaking of the CRT era, I've yet to beat level 2 of the featured Sega Rally Championship, having tried intermittently over the course of 28 years. I still have the original Sega Saturn, which needs a lot of cabling to make it compatible with a modern screen.

Great update! Glad the bar is working out, will visit one day soon.

This is actually a super inspirational video. You’ve got us feeling pumped!

Dude I’m sorry it’s been a rough year, I can understand and all I can say is I can’t wait to see more from you. Your one of the top KZreadrs out there!

I feel with you Peter! Hope all things will align better the next months!! You achieved so much already!

We still love you! Miss your retro content, but your health and happiness are the most important thing. Best wishes in all you do!

I visited Barcadia and it was super enjoyable. A great selection of games, cool decor and good bear too. Definitely worth supporting and I hope it continues to grow. Thank you for creating it 👍🏼👾

Spooky, I was just thinking the day before you posted this video I hadn't seen a video from NN in a while. No need to apologise, life sucks at times. Good to have you back!

This was quite cathartic - I very much empathize with you! There is just something about organizing your spaces to spur continued creativity and enthusiasm moving forward!

Good to see you figuring things out. Looking forward to all you are planning to accomplish.

whatever you are going through, take your time for it and I hope you will get there eventually! Take care! And: nice office space!

So sorry you've had a rough year. Seems to be that way for a lot of people currently (myself included). Wishing you the best of luck at getting things going again.

awwww, sorry to hear about your difficulties. hopefully it all gets sorted out for the better.

Hey mate, wishing you all the best. I’ve been going through this rut for the past 5 years and am only recently trying to pull myself out of it.

Looking forward to whatever comes next and seeing the finished office space.

No need for an apology. Stuff happens to everyone. Your content is high enough quality to be worth waiting for. If I ever get across the pond I want to come to your Barcade. For myself, the cure to anxiety is productivity. Hard to start but help in the long run. Hope you fell better and looking forward to what comes whenever it shows. High five dude

All you can do is what you can do . That space looks great (and Barcadia was heaving last time I was in there). "Nosty's Lair". "Fortress of Nerditude"

By 1min15secs you had just described my life since 2021. Especially motivation wise. Like you say, it then fuels itself and makes things worse. Take care mate. Fingers crossed for better outcomes.

I understand and respect this. It's a hard thing to deal with and that has the effect of reinforcing, making it harder to pull out of the dive. I don't know if it helps but know that we understand.

You do you man! Take all the time you need to get everything in your life up to snuff. I enjoy your content and look forward to the future.

I'm happy to see the two of you up and about. Take care of yourselves and eachother first and then take care of everything else.

I first thought you did something bad... But you didn't. We absolutely like you and YOU are very important to us. Your health is more important to us than any content you could ever produce... Take the time you need! Although I am from Germany I love going on vacation in Britain so I will definitely try to visit your lovely pub!

Lovely stuff. No need to apologise. I have loved your content for years now so looking forward to more quality stuff moving forward. What podcasts are you a part of? - i've not been able to track any down.

Great video, sorry to hear of your past year. These things happen and it's nothing but progress that they're talked about now. WIshing you the bestest of best wishes, enjoy your channel immensely and - along with everyone else who does - you put your health first, and to anyone who says nay.

I think you should name the space something like "The Cartridge". Appropriatly retro connotations that would fit as a placename. "Welcome back to The Cartridge", "We took this back to the Cartridge for a better look." Maybe add an adjective?

We all appreciate the time u take to bring us great videos. Hopefully things start looking up again and u can get back to what u love doing

Oh wow, I've got the same guitar as you lol! The black Fender electro-acoustic with the built in tuner! It's a lovely guitar. Has a really nice sound to it!

Nostalgia Nerd's Retropia Computer & Video Game Museum. Go big on the Retropia part. Catchy. I think :) I'm happy to watch whenever you've go the time :)

Wishing you the best mate! I just assumed that you've been busy with the arcade bar so you were not havaing time to upload. I also heard you had some troubles to deal with but not sure of all of what you've been dealing with this year.

It was a lot of fun watching you and your friend try to sort out your space. My suggestions: NN's Fortress of Solitude, NN's Retro Ruminations, NN's Retro Chronicles Maybe you turn "NN" into more of a logo. Perhaps the two N's can be joined together, but the acronym gives you the ability to say Nostalgia Nerd without actually saying Nostalgia Nerd.

I could really do with some of those mini shelf things, thanks for the inspiration :)
