What do you think of my gaming title/thumbnails

    I love my title thumbnails on these videos, and I've tempered my expectations as a new channel, I just wanna know what anyone who finds this (So Michael LMAO) thinks as far as like, is it the right kind of weird to make someone go "WTF is this guy on about?? click" I know it's not gonna have AS wide of an appeal as things like "Speedrunning xxx for the first time, I WASNT READY!!" but there's soooo much of that going on, and it's just not me. I figured I'd try cracking myself up with my titles thumbnails, and hope someone else thinks it's funny enough to click.

    So now I am doing "This video game is not a ---" titles until some other weird idea hits me. Let me know what you think!

    The other one is my new sig. I also don't like how it puts that black bar on the top so you don't see how it would look out in the wild but oh well.

    Those are looking so much better theyre fun and vibrant and I would actually want to click on those versus the older ones. I dont like the orange text on the first as it blends in a bit, done in the white with a dark outer glow/shadow may help it pop possibly. Only thing I would really change is you being cut out, maybe text 100 photos of yourself in a gaming headset with faces pulled that are funny or relatable and use Adobe AI background remover to remove the background of each one so you end up with a library of transparent PNGs. What do you think of this idea? I really do this it would make it easy for you and youd have faces you can use any time. Alternatively you could just do a fresh one each time. I would prob place your face centrally too or in the bottom left corner if possible.

    Overall these are significantly more clickable. The titles are far more clickable too I dont know what the cheese sandwich means so cant comment lol is a cheese sandwich like a turd or something in the USA lol

    Hmmm.... see I've always hated the way my face looked when I'm TRYING to take a good picture, and when I actually game it makes me a little square and I can't get that out if I wanna use an actual screen shot. But I could just have a camera rolling while I play a game that's not being fed to OBS to just get the natural reactions, choose my favorites, and then maybe paste them over the little square in the right hand corner. Though I'll be honest, we're getting into levels of effort I wasn't planning on doing lolol But yeah maybe.

    Id grab your phone and position it somewhere near where youd sit gaming and do loads of reaction faces, use Adobe AI background remover to remove the background and then use a different one each time lol I know a lot of channels that do this and it makes it easy when making thumbs :D

    We'll get there, one step at a time lol
