For this week’s Creator of the Week, I decided to focus on one of my current favorites. Therm is a content creator from Youtube who plays different types of video games.
Some of his most popular videos include the games Wobbledogs, Terraria, Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing.
I was introduced to his content through his dear friend and our previous Creator of the Week, CharlieBarley.
She posted an incredibly hilarious video of them and two of their friends playing an aggressive game of Monopoly and after laughing my butt off the whole time, I had to visit his channel.
He posted his first video on August 27th, 2020, while the world was on lockdown due to the pandemic. A common theme with most of the creators we’ll discuss.
His first video was a Terraria playthrough, which he still makes videos on today. The nature of these cozy games allows for near-infinite content.
The player can play the game the way it’s “meant to” be played, or you can set certain limits to make things more interesting.
A great example is his “Yo-Yo Challenge” where he and CharlieBarley use only the yo-yo tool to complete the game.
I think what makes Therm so interesting as a creator is his ability to take games that he’s played numerous times and still make them interesting.
Another popular series of his is his Stardew Valley Beach Farm playthrough. This version of the farm has minimal farming space and a few other obstacles that limit normal gameplay.
Though it is just a normal playthrough of the game, it is interesting to watch him adapt to these minor difficulties.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of Therm’s content is his dry and witty sense of humor. He’s just a goofy guy and he knows his audience well.
Whether it’s him making fun of villagers on the farm or naming his pets silly names, his content always makes me giggle.
I strongly recommend putting on a playlist of one of his series while you’re doing busy work just to have something to entertain you in the background.
Something that I find pretty cool about Therm is that he makes all these videos while he’s in college. I know that can be a pretty large workload already, so I respect his work ethic a ton.
He’s stated a few times how draining and difficult it can be to create content when you’re pursuing higher education.
I just hope he realizes that there’s no pressure to pump out videos and as a college degree is something that’s difficult enough to work towards.
If you’re interested in watching more, here’s a link to his channel. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!
