Going into 2026 after the subathon, I was expecting big things for Neuro, I didn't know exactly what they were, but I was expecting so much more given how big Neuro has gotten, the money made from the subathon and everything.

Then January came in and... nothing. no big deal, they were probs getting their bearings back like last year, first few weeks were gonna be Neuro and Evil Streams and then the "good" stuff... but then as the months went by and I felt that this year was lacking in content, sure there were collabs here and there and the rare themed stream like "The Plane Stream 2" and "Twins Podcast" but I felt that there was something missing this year and I didn't know for sure what it was.

I thought that the Collabs were lacking and the themed streams as well and I was right. BUT what I failed to factor was where Vedal was diverting time, work, and money into in place of these things so I spent an EMBARASSING amount of time analyzing every stream done and every update and every other aspect of this year summarized in this sheet

Up to Oct 13 2026 (Jesus Neuro, put the Skyrim down...)

I noticed that indeed collabs and themed streams were lacking. But here's what I also noticed when I did the same for 2025 (up to Oct 13 2025)

This was harder to screenshot

I labeled the Unique streams to the left and while the quantity was bigger, I also noticed that the games Neuro and Evil were playing were nothing compared to this year, not to mention that Evil and Neuro streamed more often this year (it's worth noting they returned on Jan 27 this year and Feb 11 last year but that's only 2 weeks, not a significant difference)

But above all else I took a step back and realize that Vedal had alot more work done behind the scenes than what we saw on streams

The LPS of Neuro and Evil
Neuro's Book
Many Game Integrations
Neuro's Nendoroid and pop-up parade figures
3D developments
YT Voice Chat Trolling
Neuro and Evil's new brain and models
The upcoming Baldur's Gate 3 Marathon
Pattern Recognition MV
The Concert

I took everything Vedal has done for granted, I realize now that Vedal has had arguably more done for Neuro this year, it's just alot of it was either subtle, or Big and just needed more time to develop.

And hey, I personally prefer the Gaming streams more than I do the themed streams. so I'm also glad Vedal is focusing on streams that the swarm prefers while not abandoning themed streams altogether.

Though I do miss the collab streams and still wished Vedal did more of them this year, I think the lack of them is due to Vedal being so damn busy with all the things I mentioned above, on top of all the streams he's already scheduling that working with other vtuber's schedules on top of all of this is far too much work that I wouldn't want to burden Vedal with. which is why I think he should probably hire a Collab manager? something of the sort to help him with planning and scheduling because lord knows he already has so much on his damn plate already

TL:DR PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY BOY VEDAL'S NAME! HE'S A HARD WORKING SINGLE FATHER THAT STILL MAKES GREATNESS IN THE ABSENCE OF QUANTITY and he may or may not need some extra hands...
