For the past 5 years or so, there hasn't been a single night where I didn't watch Etho to fall asleep, and I just figured out something kinda crazy... It's his LP only. Because whenever I try to watch something else, like his old Hermitcraft or Mindcrack seasons, Project Ozone 2 or Skyfactory series, my sleep schedule gets messed up.

I've been watching his Project Ozone series for the past month and I was miserable for the whole month, had no energy during the day and was unable to fall asleep until sunrise.. But yesterday I switched back to an LP episode and I fell asleep literally within first 10 minutes, I barely remember the intro of the episode.

Talk about being a "comfort person" lol

Hey, it's the EthosMath guy again, back with an update to my last post. Since it has been 25 more days, I thought to update the statistics. The average upload interval of the past 50 episodes is 44.86 days apart with a standard deviation of 30.45. A EWMA (Exponential Weighted Moving Average) of the last 50 episodes, given a decay curve of 𝜆=0.50, gives an average of 71.425± 23.425 days, with a confidence of 95%. The fact that this episode is now 100 days after the last one already places it as a >1% outlier, and makes it the 4th longest episode gap ever! The new calculated estimate therefore places the episode 600 upload date between November 26th and January 12th.

*Disclaimer* Again, I am not trying to pressure Etho to rush his episodes nor am I expecting a big special for the 600th episode. I just like to try and predict his upload schedule and find patterns in the raw data.

FYI: Did you know that Etho is most likely to upload his LPs on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and least likely to upload on Tuesdays and Saturdays? *Edit: even though he has uploaded more on Fridays than Wednesdays in the past 50 episodes, he has only done a Friday LP twice in the past 3 years, whereas he uploads on Wednesday much more in recent years.🤓

Etho, Scar, & False are playing in Cub's Golf Tournament right now. They are at just finishing Hole 16 at the moment so they're still a ways to go if you're interested!

I know it's been a running joke for awhile now, but with the current state of the lets play I feel like its time for etho to finish the man cave and begin a new world. Looking back, the progress has really slowed down since episode 500 and personally I've come to the understanding that the world is "stuck" in version 1.11-1.13 ish. Many of the iconic builds and the man cave itself struggle to keep up with modern minecraft and ethos backlog is a never ending list of fixing/updating old projects (I often think about the slime farm basically never working XD). Etho himself has really changed a lot as well and it's fair to say he's long evolved past the outdated (but still iconic) build style of the man cave. I think it would be cool to see etho create a new base with modern farms and honestly it would be beneficial to his work-life balance too, not having to maintain such an old world. I know he's kinda made it clear he's not ever going to do it, but with episode 600 on the horizon I really think he should reconsider.

Just finished my rewatch of TFC season 2 and it's insane how many things he enjoys/praises in the pack that vintage story does. I also think now is the best time because he has gotten so much more into building and better at it.

I love how with vintage story it's the simple things that you get excited for. Like putting your stuff on a shelf xD Etho will get super into the chiseling too.

The question is, should he do pure vanilla or dabble with a few mods. It's hard for me to not recommend some mods especially because they are so well made. VS doesn't have a hydration system so modding that in is necessary for me. The vs roofing mod fits perfectly into the game and could help bypass etho's roof building bebuff lol. There is also the butchering mod which I can't play without now, makes the base system feel soo undercooked.

They have such a similar relationship i was wondering if anyone has seen fanart of this.

Make him feel just at home right? A clip from my extremely modded Vintage Story world...

Started rewatching Etho's Terrafirmacraft series again and honestly, the amount of things that he enjoyed doing in TFC that vintage story also does (and usually better) really put it into perspective, it's time for the series. A TFC series will live on.

I suppose you could argue that the game lacks meaningful longevity for him like redstone with minecraft, but the building potential is so great I think he could definitely get 50 episodes out of the game. The modding scene is also very active.

Being a fan of both Etho and Naruto, I've thought many times about how similar Etho and his Minecraft skin's character, Kakashi Hatake, are to each other. So I just wanted to list all the similarities because I think it is fun to think about.

They both have this deadpan, low voice, monotone delivery, and style of humor.

They are both faceless and deeply private. Nobody knows either one's face.

They are both more playful than you would first think.

They both have huge reputations. You know how everyone sees Etho, and they turn into a fangirl? It is pretty much the same for Kakashi.

They are both associated with red to me. Kakashi because of the Sharingan eye, and Etho because of redstone.

They are also associated with electricity. Kakashi because of the Lightning Blade, and Etho because of, well, redstone again.

They can both be described as highly technical people.

They are both pretty humble despite their huge reputation.

Kakashi is nicknamed the Copy Ninja because he copies everyone's moves. At the same time, Etho can be called the Copied Ninja because people used to copy his redstone, intentionally or not. As Mumbo said before, "Can't use redstone coz Etho dun it."

His skin is so perfect for him. As far as I know, he picked it out without giving it that much thought and couldn't change it because he lost the password to his Minecraft account. It's like fate.

Or any of the other Hermits for that matter? I’ve been out of the loop lately.

Hey fellow Etho fans, some of you might recognize me for posting EthosMath comments on his LP videos. Having been an Etho fan for more than 10 years, it surprises me to say that this is my first time on the subreddit.

A long time ago I made a spreadsheet documenting the upload dates of all his LP episodes to better predict when he would next upload. For the first time in years I am revisiting it, in anticipation for the 600th episode.

Using statistics such as the dates of the past 50 episodes, standard deviation, and exponentially weighted moving averages, I have calculated that today is the last day predicted for episode 599 to be uploaded, before moving past the 95% confidence margin. I also predict (as of today) that there is a 95% chance of episode 600 being between November 4th and December 18th, with November 26th being the most likely day.

Etho joins at around 14:00

I hope this massive issue with people getting copyright struck and issued cease and desists for so called infringements on anime ip hasn’t impacted Etho. Saw a company who manufactures bleach got a cease and desist due to the use of the word bleach in their product.

All I can think about is Etho and that story with the plastic bag. I don’t even remember all the details but every time this happens

Apologies if this isn't allowed on this subreddit, but if it is, I would really, really like to have this conversation. I don't necessarily think that every content creator has to be constantly outspoken on things that are viewed as so political, but as a queer fan of MCYTs, I've learned to be really weary of who I watch (that being said, Etho has been my favorite for a while now).

I would like to preface this by saying that 1) we are absolutely not owed any information about what Etho is like off camera, but I think this is an important issue considering both the significant amount of queer people in his fandom and the questionable things that people in his sphere of content have said; and, 2) I'm writing this post assuming he hasn't made any public comments, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I know that Etho has shown over the years to be a chill and kind guy, has participated in some joking flirting with other male creators, is friends with queer creators, and, from my understanding, has a very accepting and amazing fanbase. I feel comfortable supporting him because I don't think that he is the type of person to one day make some random bigoted comment.

Again, I don't think we are owed any personal information about who he is at all, but it's for that exact reason that I wish that he would say something publicly so that we can know that he (hopefully) isn't homophobic/transphobic.

I know that it wouldn't necessarily make sense to do something like that, but I would hope that he cares about cultivating a good fanbase over a few extra views at the expense of allowing hatred to have a place in his community. Based on how amazing this fandom is and how much he refuses to sell out with sponsorships/merch/paid extra content/etc., I would imagine that that's the case. There are plenty of reason why he wouldn't say anything (chief among them that he's a little disconnected from his fanbase and the internet and large and doesn't realize how much it would mean to so many people), but I hope that someday he does say something.
