I play Mega Man games with No Damage and with style. Mostly with Zero, and under specific conditions. I also dabble into commentary pieces on general Mega Man topics.
I aim only to give you entertainment as I entertain myself with my content. I do not follow an upload schedule, but merely keep track of a list of things to do. Whether I'm posting a no damage run or any other Mega Man-related video, expect it to be of the utmost quality that I can muster.

i watched your old vent-ish video and i feel like we're a bit closer. like... relatable. like you're that senpai bigbro come to give some good advice. stay strong!
19:51 Jesus that hit me hard. For some reason usually I feel *bad* about myself (or neutral, I don't necessarily hate myself as much as lament about the ways I got effed up as a kid), but every time someone reminds me to reflect on what I've done *despite* all of that, or what I've overcome and how I've grown, it's such a ridiculously validating feeling that just breaks through everything, down to my core. Thank you for being one of the people to have reminded me of it. I'm going to try and make a habit out of reminding myself, hopefully that should make everything just a little bit brighter in the future.
I honestly can't do that semi-infinite Shield Boomerang spinning trick to this day. Magnus Zero is god tier at these games. Using the ultimate form with those fighting game style inputs for the moves is something very hard to do when trying to dodge stuff. I can imagine that Magnus must be a beast at fighting games too with these skills.
I want to say. Thank you for still making these. It's def one of the reasons I keep coming back. Wishing you all the luck with your book and such

8:43 Thats basically how you get confidence even in spite of being flung into loneliness and mistreatment from others. You have to realize what has happened to you, process it in a healthy way, learn to validate/feel your own feelings and you will have a much higher opinion of yourself. For the longest time I wanted to forget the feelings of being manipulated growing up but finally confronting it and realizing I have the means to not break under being ignored by someone I was starting to trust at one point (Ive avoided this and vulnerability due to avoidant tendencies) and actually feel happy for the first time in nearly a decade. Identifying it is the first huge step then the rest is acting in spite of that fear and not letting anger consume you, in the end I felt comfortable going back into my isolation but not to the point of warding people off, I felt like I could trust myself again and its paid off immensely these last 2 years overcoming all the avoidant habits Ive formed like not communicating when something bothered me or if I need help with something.
Gotta be honest, I never got the hate for X3. Still one of my favorites
There was a post on Twitter from a Japanese writer. He talked about how a problem with people writing is that they focus too much on the end product, and because of that, they often end up frustrated because they feel they don't make enough progress. He then went on to say that instead of looking at the summit, you should look at your feet. Or something to that effect. Basically, what he was getting at is that focusing too much on the end product can cause you to lose focus because it's all about reaching the goal as soon as possible, and instead of worrying about getting things done, it's better to take things one at a time because then you'll surprise yourself when you look back and realize all the progress you've made.
I've grown to love my own company, mastery of self is one of the best endeavors in life I feel, and my absolute favorite feeling is surprising myself with my achievements or realizations doing the things I love. It's not wrong to have a good amount of self-esteem gained through confronting the things that hold us back and we repress into the dark, it is necessary if we wish to have a united community of people who strive to be better despite their differences. Love your video!
Something that our society has been starting to do recently is to mock and ridicule anyone who enters a state of cope when they start having to endure hard times in life. It's treated as a form a weakness; if you need to cope then it's because you're not mentally strong enough to handle whatever situation you are entering into, which in turn is also seen as childish. Our society will tell you that you're only truly an adult if you're able to breeze through any situation without experiencing any negative emotions, and that if you ever start to feel overwhelmed then this is a sign you still need to grow up. There is a small nugget of truth to that viewpoint. Most of us can probably recall times from our childhoods when something didn't go our way and we threw a tantrum over it, only to be scolded for doing so. However, this doesn't mean we aren't allowed to react negatively to overwhelming situations in life. It's not inherently childish to enter a state of cope when you start having problems such as being unable to afford your bills and having to choose between food on the table or medicine stocked up. You aren't weak for needing to cope. Everyone has their own ways of coping with the hard times life throws at us. For some people, getting away from everyone else and just being by themselves is liberating. It can be very healthy for your mental state to shut yourself off from outside negative influences. Turn off your phone, take a month long vacation from social media from time to time, play some single player games or watch some of your favorite TV shows or movies. Read a book, go on a solitary walk outside, or even just sit alone in your room with your thoughts and just reflect on yourself and your experiences. Sometimes your "social battery" runs dry and you need to self isolate to get some emotional recharge. That's okay, don't be ashamed in it. It's normal and healthy. It's also okay to be unable to handle being alone. It's okay to ask for help when you feel like you need it. You are not childish when you need someone to lean on for emotional support when you fall on hard times. It's normal for us to need help from others from time to time. Don't feel weak or ashamed for needing help from others; sometimes strength comes from numbers. It's normal to sometimes be unable to handle things by yourself. It's okay to turn to those you trust to ask for any help they can offer, even if it's only something as small as a hug or a pat on the back. Sometimes that's all you need to be able to hang in there and endure until things get better. If not and you are desperately in need of more substantial help, don't let your sense of pride get in the way. Others aren't obligated to help you any more than they are able and willing, but you're not doing anything wrong by politely asking when you're in need. The strongest version of yourself is someone who knows when to be alone and when to lean on others. Weakness is not the need to do either of these things, but doing them when it isn't appropriate. Maturity comes from knowing how to behave appropriately when different situations turn up. Something that's inappropriate in one situation might be appropriate in another, and knowing the difference is maturity. Don't listen to people who say you're not an adult if you value your mental health. They're the ones who don't know and understand what being an adult means. Adulthood doesn't mean obtaining success by "getting over it" when you feel emotional distress, but rather knowing what needs to be done to pick yourself back up whenever you fall down on hard times to get yourself back on track. True adults know and understand that they will need to endure pain and failure in life and learn how to cope when necessary to make getting through another day a little bit less awful. If you want to thrive, you need to know when it's best to be alone and when it's necessary to ask for help. Don't sacrifice your mental health for success. You need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others, but once you are capable of helping others always remember that those you have helped in the past will be more willing to return the favor in the future. Treat others the way you want to be treated; set the example for others to follow. If others need to be alone, know when it's best to give them space. They will return the favor when you want to be alone in the future. Help those who reach out to you in need when you are able. They will return the favor when you reach out to them in the future. It's okay to form connections to others and not always rely on them. Think about it as weaving a safety net for you to fall safely onto when you need it. You can forge your own path ahead in life at your own pace, but if you fall they will be there to catch you.
I looked at them on eBay the complete works are around $30 a piece, so would get expensive if you want all 6.
The anniversary collection also isn't in 240p so that alone is a deal breaker.
Magnus, have you ever read the book Ender's Game?
ES CINE!
Dude! You're killing it with this series!
This was a fantastic video, man! I needed to hear this.
keep on growing and expanding your greatness King. ✌️
The stoics insisted upon the power of solitude, and despite the fact that I've learned to make friends during the latter half of my life I still find solace and strength in quiet contemplation
This video came at a perfect time ngl. I've been struggling internally to pursue my dreams because of my crippling fear of failure and making something I'm not proud of, I have a bunch of footage ready just like you sitting there. its finally time to step forward and make my dreams a reality. thank you for sharing this video and your feelings.
I really needed this, thank you.
As a young person I was isolated and targeted all because I decided to climb a tree at school. The kids that played sports saw some "weird" kid off on his own climbing a tree and made it their goal to tear that person down. Flash forward years later, after being betrayed, lied to, and shunned. One day those kids dragged me into a house, and the "leader" of the group that kept that fire against me burning pulled out a cheap crappy katana and ran me through. That was the day everyone realized they supported the wrong person and created a monster. Even though everyone started to be nice, all the trust I willingly gave out left it's damage and I still have trust issues and a literal scar. I constantly prepare plans and failsafes for even more closest friends and husband out of sheer reflex and I hate it. I own that I do these thing and even warn people that it's coming when they get close. The ones that stick around are the people I know I can call a friend, and everyone of them are helping me better myself everyday. The point of all of this was to say that even when you win, the fight doesn't stop. You need to keep pushing and growing. You need to continue being that better person.
When i first meet this channel, it was on maybe the most sensitive moment of my life. I Had a unfair break with my loved one because of thirds influence, had a real ugly fight with all my childhood friends, and just to ensure my solitude, the pandemic came. It was a true ''i don't care if you like or not being alone, you WILL be alone with yourself and your thoughts, you will not rely on anyone to vent, talk or point a way through your decisions or feelings, the only judge to say if you're right or wrong, the only one to raise a hand to yourself now, is you... so, since we're clear bout that, what you gonna do now?'' It was a real self-reflective time, and well, with my options kinda shorted, i deep dived on games i loved and always used as a reality escape when things got rough. in one of these moments i just remembered megaman Zx, a game i loved but never really finished it on my childhood cuz ''its hard as F Brother.'' Then, i found your showcase videos, and then, i was able to interact not only with you, but with this big amazing community, filled with all type of persons with all type of life viewpoints. i was motivated to learn all the things i saw in the videos, and even try to replicate it myself, and oh boy, what a epic adventure i had. Learning about fast kills using the best skills of each biometal, learning about invicible frames, god damn, it was hard but at the same time, it filled me with joy and self realization feelings. for sure, it matured me in a more calm and stronger person, a more adult and mature man, and i take it with me with a big pride. Some moments in my life, bad things happens, and i think its 100% unavoidable, since dealing with persons can always end up on conflitcs, and its a energy draining action, but a needed one. last week i was feeling and talking to myself ''God damn, i'm kinda tired and sick of other's people drama and how being here, on this group, always brings me trouble, even if i'm not part of nothing about it, just thinking about these persons using my name to shit talk me on my back.'' It was enough for me to just... leave, exit this group and think with myself about ''what i should do now?'' and everything just came clear to me, i was thinking about spending more time with more mental/emotional healthier friends, and tbh? i just made the decision. Maybe i should just you know, turn off my computer and get off internet for a time? Grab a old game on my PS2, Ps3 or Ps4 and doing a run from zero until i finish it? play some games on my backlog than i was not able to play cuz i was busy ''losing time'' on my pc. And now, this video drops. I'm not a religious one, but i believe some ''world energy, destiny, whatever'' will always give us sights of ''you're on the right path my boy, go on'' and after watching this video, i'm 100% this is one of these moments. i was thinking of playing Megaman Zx again and trying to do fast runs, or even just spend a entire month alone with my console playing games with my phone and pc off to avoid drama, just turning on to talk with person not on THEIR time, but on MY time. That's MY Path of Solitude. Sorry if it looked like a little vent, just wanted to share with ya and everyone how this video ''talked'' to me, and talk back at the same time showing my point of vision about Solitude and Loniless.
As someone who does a lot of self-reflection, and has also been alone for quite some time... This video resonates with me a lot. It reminds me of despite my own shortcomings, I'm still always working on my best self. I've gotten closer to it now than I ever did before!
This was a truly relatable and inspiring message, thank you for your thoughts Magnus! I’ve definitely had my fair share of lone challenges in the game that is modern dating, but I’ve found how mindfulness through meditation and journaling in solitude really helps as well. It helped me to better understand myself in what my values are and what qualities I’m looking for in relationships, and I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t take the time for introspection. Now I may not know what the future may hold or how long it will take to achieve that goal, but I always find myself saying that “My Departure has meaning”. (based on Zero 2’s intro stage, coincidentally), and I know that it will be a joyful achievement. Thank you again, Magnus!
you made me realize just how much i was utilizing this already the past few years. i dropped perhaps too close to the self-harm thoughts near the end of last decade, but thankfully i managed to stop myself from falling further and i have not been that far down ever since. it's been only up for just about all of the 2020s, despite everything some events right at the end of 2022 forced me to come to terms with certain things that finally allowed confidence to really begin rolling in. i can now look back at my own achievements in life, personal progress, and hobbies with true happiness and some pride, always remembering that they were the result of herculean effort. and whenever i do fall down on myself, i have that mountain of achievements to help whack me back to reality. as well as incredible friends that do nothing but support me when i need it. and i make sure to do the same back as cruddy as it is to deal with what i have to deal with, at the end of the day, i can't control it. only how i deal with it
I grew up in solitude for a lot of my pre-teen to teenage life. Having my parents split up at the age of 10 was a pretty big part of why that was. Lots of moving homes and schools, most of them not great, but I had a few friends here and there. The thing was, however, is that solitude was hardly ever intentional. I was almost always engaging in some form of media. Mainly TV and games. I had little concept of actual self-reflection. Who could blame me, really, since I was just a kid but still. Even with what few friends I had, I was so desperate to have a huge group of friends and live the typical teenager life I would see on TV (ironic considering I was always a huge nerd, but I digress). I always thought that if I didn't have that, then there was something wrong with me. So I latched on to the first group of people I had anything significant in common with. I refused to be by myself, and this lead to years of being around people who were ultimately pretty abusive at the time. Now, I'm not making excuses for their behavior, far from it, but me being the type of person to take things personally did not help. It also did not help that, as mentioned before, I was always engaging with some form of media. I had no concept of "Just sit with your thoughts and feelings, don't try to drown them out with distractions." So the idea of solitude was so incredibly lost on me. And that resulted in a lot of mental health issues that followed me in to my 31st birthday of this year. I'm in a much better place mentally now than I've ever been, thankfully. I owe it all to...well a spiritual experience I always knew would happen, let's put it that way. I find it much more appealing to just sit and engage with my thoughts and just life in general when I'm out and about for whatever reason, than just pop on a nonsense podcast and stare blankly ahead of myself as I autopilot my day. I wish I had learned to just be with myself a lot sooner than I was. But everything that has happened to you, good and bad, has brought you to where you are, good or bad. But just remember. Perspective, solitude, all things in life really, should be done in moderation.
Always a treat to hear from you. Currently watching your new weapons masters video.
I just turned 32 a couple weeks ago and I’m still so lonely 😢
Hang in there, and keep working on you.
thanks man, i was in need of this video
don't get down about your MM n Rage video as its unfortunate that it did not help you any apart from a mental reminder or punishment however it did help me when I was down was the first video I every seen on your channel & the reason I subscribed, love your psychological retrospectives & them MM Zero no damage runs just as much, I know ya on your flow & these in depth convos are not the main focus of your channel but don't ever feel as if they are a burden to talk about or feel guilty about expressing your self Every one holds a piece to the puzzle we call life n I like the pieces you have had to share, not to mention your past really reminds me a lot of how I grew up, not an exact 1 to 1 but I resonate with many experiences you have shared keep on completing that message, 1 page at a time 1 Love
I so much love your Megaman & Chill Videos. Listen to thoughts is something I really love. Especially when they are close to mine.
So Magnus Zero has done runs with Classic Mega Man, Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero. But what about Mega Man Battle Network? I mean he has done some BN2 videos like the one where he disrespected Air Man.EXE.
great content
thats the first time I see you playing mega man zero 4
Years ago I never would've guessed that the channel I subbed to for GOATed Megaman runs would see me look forward most of all to these relatable thought pieces. I'm glad your journey is going well Magnus, and I hope we all take your reminders and advice and use them to become infinitely better people. I f****n' *needed* this video, fr 😄 much love to ya Zero
Although you talked about the assumptions video with regret, I remember that I wrote an essay on the comment section probably because I also have a brother issue and I think that other people felt "connected" because they saw that "hey i'm not the only one, there's someone with the same problem", so It's ok to share experiences because people feel more connected to you and may even help them with their own struggles and problems. Now on to the subject of solitude I agree with the things you said and the feeling of being alone even when you already have a family is true, I myself am still struggling to win a battle with myself to start content creation on youtube, basically a 3 year project inside my brain shelf full of excuses and sometimes seeking help but only hearing the "just do it" advice, and your brain tells you "hey you wanted motivation, you have it your wife/son/friend already said it, why don't you start them?" and I'm back to square one because I don't start and don't know why. Probably because my psycologist gave me an Autism+ADHD diagnosis, so yeah that also counts for my struggles. Anyways always love these chill videos, makes us admire you as a person and not just as random gamer good at megaman.
Interesting video to listen to as I'm drawing something, as someone who grew up mostly a loner through out my early life I definitely can sympathize I am grateful for the friends who will now be with me through thick and thin, but that loner in me has certainly helped when I needed some time for myself, this video really helps, even if I got my shit together I at least feel more prepared for anything.
You deserve more
very inspiring, love the megaman and chill videos, really helps me out! great video
Solitude makes part of my Life , i 90% of the Times Overcome and Destroy my Weakness and Problems by Myself without even tell someone about them , that made me Extremely more Stronger and Resilient , by not having anyone by your Side all by YourSelf makes you Grown Stronger and making Things alone makes you feel that you got All the Credit and also you do not feel bad by put other People in Problem or Pain because of you , Now i am trying to Know Myself even Better everyday and also Self Improve even more Myself But Anyways , W Video Magnus , you are the Magnus Goat

Ooh goodie, maybe 20 year old me would have needed to hear some of this. I hope it does help other people during or before their struggle.
Good video man
Nice video
4:54 Based
Could someone tell me where to find the music that plays in the intro level? That song is really good. Oh, forget it. I just realized now that the songs are credited at the beginning of the levels lmao.
Ever thought about 100%ing the game while fighting the mavericks in alphabetical order?
I love that right after i watched this i spent hours trying to replicate what you did to crystal snail on the refight on the wall, also, would you be against me reacting to this video on my twitch? If no I'll respect your wishes, I just run alot of mega man games so I wnana analyze how you do things
Sure, go ahead
"Yo that stage transition is pretty cool" "Wait this is the intro???" - literally me
