In this video, I’m putting the "cheery" persona aside to have a raw, honest conversation about why I’ve been absent for over a year. I’m not here to waffle; I’m here to talk about the reality of losing the hobby spark when life gets heavy.
From the mental drain of losing my mother and supporting my family to the "nasty" business practices creeping into every corner of the industry, be it GW or Knight Models, the childhood luxury of "escape" has felt further away than ever. I’ve had to be realistic, selling off my beloved 3D-printed Dwarfs and even printers and supplies just to keep MK6 Printing Services and my personal life afloat.
In this discussion, I cover:
The "Toxic" Industry: Why corporate power-creep and "bully tactics" in the 3D printing space are suffocating the narrative joy.
The "Hater" Meme: Addressing the joke that I just hate the industry, and the reality of being a heartbroken hobbyist.
The Missing Spark: Why I have zero drive for The Lion’s Host or Bolt Action right now, and why some days the armchair and the dogs are the only sanctuary I need.
The Vault: Why I’m NOT axing the channel, and how I’ll be using a massive backlog of proud content to fill the void while I find my feet.
I’ve worked incredibly hard to build 6PlusSave, and your support has been overwhelming. I’m proud of the work I have in the "vault," and I’m excited to finally showcase those recordings.
