the Ballad of the Starter Base in iambic tetrameter - Satisfactory

upon a rock I sat and thought
that bass and beat might syncopate
a thousand hours distilled down
a pleasing vid I sought to make

music by Zisteau

[GoldHawk]

The dude just wakes up some morning and starts thinking "the project is to build a base, make my own music and put some sick verses onto it and make it a video" and proceeds to make this vision a reality in a phenomenal manner. Man, fantastic work as always, years go by but there's one constant and that's you pushing the limits further beyond each time.

Even after 10+ years, this man still surprises me.

[AnotherDuck]

Zisteau's starter bases are what a lot of people end their game with.

[foobazabar]

Incredibly good. Every video you make I'm always thinking "we don't deserve this level of content" but here you are, doing it again.

[AlternaHunter]

I figured the song part would end at some point and it just. _Kept._ *_Going._*

[xCreidex]

it is impossible to overstate the effort Zisteau puts into his videos time and time again. I miss the days of frequent uploads, but man does this guy know how to use his time to create something magnificent and worth the wait.

[GoldenredDragon]

One person's starter base is another's endgame build. I'm thoroughly impressed by the edit, the music, the rapping, the build, the precision, just everything about you Zisteau. Thank you so much!

[Treefarmer]

I have no idea where zisteau is in his life, but I can't imagine the amount of time and effort that went into this. The amount of cuts and edits, along with creating the lyrics and music and syncing everything together, it's incredible. This video is a nice respite from all of the other videos out there.

[BrenMonkey]

I can't even begin to imagen the amount of time and effort to build, capture video and edit all this. S tier.

[sgoldendragon]

That was extremely impressive. I didn't know you were that much of a musician. Or a poet, for that matter. However, you never fail to impress, and your creativity goes above and beyond most everyone I've ever seen, especially on YouTube. You certainly have quite the talent and honed skill as an entertainer, and that, I applaud. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing it with us.

[AB-dmwz]

Zisteau, I've been following you for some ten years now, and your content never ceases to amaze.

[volodimirkun]

Hey, Z! Thiis is a cool video. I watched it and remembered A LOT of moments form Mindcrack gamaplay of yours. So much nastalgia... THANK YOU for those moments. I am a 42yo man from Ukraine, with wife and 3 kids, and all mindcrack creators were with me for last 10+ years giving me so much entertainment and joy. My kindest regards!

ZISTEAU! Guys, it's a Zisteau video!

[BlackoDawno]

Finish it this time, Z! Do it for The Lens!

[stefanocasella]

Starter Base. Starter Base. Starter Base. Starter Base....

[ICountFrom]

I Keep thinking that, eventually, he's going to have to do something he's done before. ... nope ... he keeps finding something new to do... WITH STYLE!

[BasketKees]

There are two things you can be sure of when Z brings us a video. He put a ridiculous amount of work into it. And without viewing a second of it you know it will be awesome.
Other than that, all bets are off. You know, like a box of chocolates.

[daredoener]

That was very Zisteau. Hope to see more

[balaclavabob]

This is why I stay subbed . Every video is a carefully crafted 3 course meal for the brian .

[TheBTrain]

A pleasure, as always, to see your work dude. Amazing edit, love the tunes, and if this is you announcing more videos I'm extremely excited! Best of luck with your efforts!!
