Full About Me

• Nostalgia is the only word for this about me.
• This about me will take you through my life from 2015 all the way to the present. Get comfortable, maybe get a cup of coffee, because this text is over 1000 words long, even though I tried to make it as simple as possible, so you can read every single word easily. Enjoy!

As an introduction, I can say I’m a bit of everything. What I mean is I do so many things with computers and I have been doing them since 2015. That’s 10 years! To be honest, I personally don’t know what I am yet. I’m some kind of person with too many tasks to do. This is obviously positive, I love it. I always have loved it. I’m not saying that I’m the best at doing this stuff, I’ll admit: I kind of suck at it. But, with practice, I hope I can improve. As a teenager, I think all this experience is too much for me. But, for some reason, I have it. Enjoy the about me!

Back in 2010 or 2011, not much time after I was born, my dad bought a laptop, and this laptop was a HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15″ 15-b194sl laptop with Windows 8.1 installed. It was super powerful at the time, because it could do multitasking very easily. Obviously, if you use this laptop for multitasking today, it will be a pain, because programs have evolved since then.

In 2016, my aunt gave me a working laptop, a HP Compaq 6720s with Windows 7 installed. It had 2GB@667MHz DDR2 RAM, a very old 32-bit Intel Core 2 Duo T5270@1.40GHz CPU. Basically, very outdated specs. At this time, my parents decided to do homeschooling with me and Michael, my brother. I am mentioning this, and you’ll see why later.

I don’t know how, but the laptop I was referring to had a problem, so Windows got uninstalled.

So, one day, I managed to re-install Windows! I showed this to my aunt by sending her a photo on WhatsApp. She was impressed that a 5-year-old kid could do this!

However, Since the Windows version that I had installed was Windows 10 and that laptop was a low-end laptop, it kept having problems with Windows non-stop. I was always there fixing them.

A while later, I then tried installing Windows 8.1, but it still had the same problems. I had then installed Windows XP, and it was working really well. I was really proud.

Also, I remember installing Ubuntu, a Linux distro, on that same laptop around this time.

In 2017, when I was 6 years old, I had made a website called Compy The Computer. I had also learnt how to make virtual machines and how to dual-boot! The problem is that I used to make virtual machines on all the devices I had, even on Windows tablets! I maxed out the allocated RAM and CPU, and I used 1TB of virtual disk space on just 64GB of space. I was really destroying those tablets.

My dad’s laptop was having a problem. Basically, for what I could understand back then, the problem was that the hard disk got stuck. My dad is a very patient guy, so he gave that laptop to me. So, what I did, was make it worse. I disassembled it all, and today I seriously regret it because my dad spent 1000€ on it in 2010 – 2011. Sorry dad.

In June of 2019, I got my own laptop. It was a HP EliteBook 8470p, and it had 4GB of RAM and 2.60GHz of CPU clock with 2 cores, and my dad got his own laptop: HP Elitebook 8440p. A few months later, I upgraded the RAM of my computer to 8GB. In 2019, I was 8 years old and I subscribed to too many newsletters, so my mum and I, paranoid as we were, said it would be a good idea to delete the Google account. That Google account was used to access the website manager for Compy The Computer.

Later on, I also learned how to make MacOS virtual machines and I learned that I shouldn’t use up all the RAM, CPU, and storage anymore. My parents had enough of me breaking computers and tablets and they said “Stop using virtual machines, they break your computer!”. I didn’t care, I kept making virtual machines anyway. It would not be the end for my love, hard work, and passion for ISOs, virtual machines, and messing around with Windows. My parents even subscribed me to a swimming course for free, because our cousin was working there. In 2020, I was 9, and we started going out with people independently. Those people weren’t good, so we basically went out with vandals.

In that same summer, I downloaded a clone of Minecraft called Minicraft. It’s a bit like Craftsman. Then I discovered how to download Minecraft on my laptop legally and for free. For some reason, you could use up to 1.7.10 without paying or pirating the game, so I used it. I was gradually switching to gaming.

In 2021, I was 10 and I kept going out with them, but it was the last year, we agreed with our parents. At the end of this year, I made my channel called Villager Boy! The videos were very cringe and I sounded like a kid. However, my mum didn’t want me to make videos at the time because she said that I was too young. Now that I’m somewhat older, she doesn’t want me to delete anything of what I’ve created. I was also immaturely promoted my videos in Minecraft Live and in other channels’ comments. Rightfully, I didn’t recieve any support from these creators, so I figured it was useless, but that didn’t stop me.

In January of 2022, my brother and I purchased 2 Dell monitors (DELL P1914S) as a bundle with the stand, which would be the first piece of our home gaming setups.

In March 2022, Michael finally made his Discord account! We made much better friends there, but our first friend wasn’t that good either. He is still annoying me by being stupid and roasting me all the time. One day later, I made my own account. On March the 22nd, 2022, I created my Discord server, while Michael went to make friends, they were good times…

Around April 2022, my channel, Villager Boy, got hacked. I was very upset because I had put a lot of effort in that channel, although my videos were very cringe. I created a new channel with the same name, which I currently own. Since then, I was appealing many times to get this channel unbanned.

In June 2022, I made my website for Villager Boy, I was able to recover the website manager for Compy The Computer and I linked it to my current e-mail! This month was very nice for me, also because I managed to pass my exams.

In September 2022, my parents kept telling me that my voice was changing, but I didn’t hear the difference. This is because my voice was changing slowly and gradually. But now that my voice has finished changing, and I listen to my old recordings, I can surely notice the difference.

In December 2022, I started making YouTube Shorts, and they helped me to gain mosty of the subscribers I have now. That was a very exciting moment for me.

In February 2023, Freenom was selling my domain to porn websites, so I complained to them. All they did was delete my domain. Also, in this month, I built my own PC with pieces bought from Facebook. It was very cheap, but it gave me some very good low to mid-end pieces, and they were capable of doing all the activities I needed, like livestreaming, recording, gaming, editing, and designing. I made a vlog on my channel which was named “I turned my Grandad’s old PC into a Modern PC” because I had built that computer in my grandad’s case.

In April 2023, I bought a new domain with my mum’s help and got my website back, and I built my own computer. In this same month there was my weight loss which I explain in a later section of this about me. I started looking like a broomstick.

On the 12 of April 2023, however, I joined a small community with Minecraft Bedrock 0.14.3 and 0.15.10 players. Although it’s very tiny, and people claim that it is slowly dying, I enjoy myself by playing in these servers. However, this strangely managed to bring up my channel’s views, because I guess you enjoy it as much as me. Furthermore, I also met other content creators who are monothematic on this topic and made friends, even if they sometimes make videos on newer Minecraft versions.

On the 29th of July 2023, my main PC broke. Basically, a pin to connect the CPU got bent, and I couldn’t fix it. That model had the CPU pins directly on the motherboard. I was very disappointed, since I cared so much about it, despite the fact that I built it in April. Its specs were kind of low to mid-end: it had 16GB of RAM, one hard disk with 500GB, and a GPU called AMD Radeon RX 460, and a P8P67 EVO motherboard. Today, I am so grateful that those pieces still work, except the motherboard obviously.

In August of 2023, I made my own Minecraft 0.14.3 server (which then became multiversion, 0.14.3 and 0.15.10) with the help of Zero, an important staff in my Discord server.

In September of 2023, I started going to school because my parents were busy. I have much less time, and I don’t know how to manage my website, my channel, and my server on only Saturday and Sunday. Despite that, my dad’s friend gave me a TV which I used as a monitor.

On the 6th of December 2023, I found another TV sitting in the middle of the street. My parents ignored it, but Michael and I decided to pick it up. We then went to buy a remote control, and now is ready to be sold on Facebook.

On the 23rd of December, 2023, I bought a new computer, again from Facebook, only that this time I bought a pre-built one, since it was the only one on the marketplace which really convinced me. This computer is a HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF with an Intel i3-4160 CPU, and 4GB of RAM. What I did to this computer was quite interesting: since this computer had a slim case, and my GPU has the standard bracket, I put all the components in my grandad’s case again. I also added the WiFi card, and I am honestly very happy with it. Then I upgraded the RAM to 16GB, obviously taking advantage of its 4 slots.

On January the 7th 2024, it was a very happy day, because I managed to recover my videos from the hacked Villager Boy channel, by downloading the YouTube data from Google. My mum was very proud, even though I used to make those videos by disobeying her. Now, every time a video on my channel goes viral, she is the first one to say well done.

On the 21st of April 2024, it was time to say goodbye to my channel for one month. I was very busy, so I just decided to leave my channel until the summer break when I’ll have more time. I can’t wait until the break is over, even though I don’t have much patience with editing. This is another reason why I’m taking a break. It’s a real strain having to do all the homework, recording, editing, and uploading the videos by Saturday. That’s also the reason why I have been recently posting more livestreams that long-form edited videos or montages. I’m planning plan to make Shorts during this break because they usually work to keep my channel active, but I won’t be using my voice. I hope to see you guys soon. Bye.

Finally, about a month later, I’m back to making videos and livestreams on my channel! I am so excited as I was so busy for this month. Everything – my server, my channel, my website – was dying. Finally I can come back to posting every Saturday – or once every two Saturdays, I hope not – again! To be honest, I really did miss making videos, even though it was only 1 month.

On the 13th of September, 2024, I struggled to go to school. It was nowhere as smooth as it was last year. I’ll tell you why.

One or two weeks later, my parents had enough of seeing me thin. I was 165cm (5’4) and 46kg (101lb). If you ask me, that is far too thin in puberty. I lost all this weight because I have a disease, a very rare one, called congenital hyperinsulinism with protein sensitivity. I don’t talk about it much, but I feel like I have to include it in my about me. My mum helped me to recover the weight. What this disease does is makes your pancreas produce too much insulin, making your blood sugar go too low. Being affected by it, my body has a defense mecanism that brings my blood sugar up. But insulin is a strong hormone, so it burns loads of calories. This explains my weight loss.

On the 28th of November, 2024, in a video titled “Leaving Craftsman (and face revealing)… time to start a new chapter”, I announced 2 big changes to my channel’s content: I announced I would be leaving Minecraft 0.14.3 and 0.15.10, the Craftsman community, and I face revealed. After this face reveal I started using my face in some videos.

On the 21st of December, 2024, when I turned 14, I started using Instagram to share my photos: https://www.instagram.com/villagerboy.rob. Honestly I can say I am starting to open up with my audience, and it feels good to be transparent with you guys. I love it.

On the 11th of January, 2025, after a discussion with the headmaster, we came to the conclusion that doing homeschooling for a year would prevent weight loss. Am I sad? Not at all, because at 16 I am planning on dropping out and getting straight into internet business. I have a plan of my own. And I have more time to spend with you guys.

On the 8th of March, 2025, Sleman and I created a new hosting company called SodiumNodes. What I can say about it right now is nothing but positive. Things are going great, we recieve a good income, and as long as you have some knowledge about Linux, you can create a hosting company too. We also resell VPS servers for a cheap price. My main activity isn’t on my channel anymore. However, this doesn’t mean that I’ll abandon it, I’ll just upload less until I get passion for video editing again.

Around April 2025, I started learning how to actually code. I don’t know how this happened, but I suddenly got a dream that gave me lots of knowledge about PHP. I then confirmed this knowledge by watching a PHP course. So now I can finally call myself a junior developer. Praise God.

On the 1st of May, 2025, I helped Abo3leesh release his server called Eupla, but I did a lot more than make a simple Craftsman server. I made a login page, email verification, profile system, and I can only say Eupla is a banger.
