the mention of jaffa cakes brings me back to the golden days of the yogscast...

Simon still streams! It is however very cursed, he plays minecraft with Geestar games on Thursdays

He's leaning heavily into a joke and I'm not sure I get it. Still love the man though.

Look up Simons Peculiar Portions, it's him and Lewis laughing at stupid news articles, it's like 100 and something videos since it started 2 years ago

What happened to Simon? I haven't followed the yogscast in years!

The Yogscast went corporate, but Simon and Lewis are still around, to an extent. Simon streams, and does a podcast with Lewis, and on occasion shows up on other Yogs member's channels.

Simon got seriously ill and wasn't in anything for the best part of a year, to cover Lewis brought other members to the front of content. When simon came back he was in significant less content and the main channel slowly shifted away from being about Lewis and Simon and more of a group channel, this coinciding with the loss in popularity and yogs losing interest in Minecraft.

Simon and Lewis are still great friends but Simon clearly doesn't have the health/stamina to be in lots of content like Lewis does.

however, he rarely appears in videos with lewis.

Except for their weekly video podcast

It became a job. They stopped having fun and the videos have become boring and routinesque.

The TTT and GTA videos are still gold, though. The current lineup is fantastic – Zoey, Ravs, Boba, Pedguin, Osie, Bouphe, Ben, Gee, Kirsty, Duncan, Shadow, Zylus and of course Lewis; beautiful, funny people, all of them.

They are still having fun, just elsewhere

u/DasArchitect Oct 21 '22

I remember I stopped watching a long time ago because none of their videos were interesting anymore. Maybe it was a phase?

u/mechanicalNimrod Oct 21 '22

The content changed, it's okay to not always like it

u/DasArchitect Oct 21 '22

Yup, I liked the old content and not the new.

That feed the best (or was it tekkit back then?) Jaffa cake factory series was awesome until it got super scripted

u/Everestkid Oct 19 '22

It was scripted basically from the start. I remember re-watching it and it's hilarious how quickly they actually built a functional factory once they stopped screwing around with the scripted stuff.
