Please enjoy.

Denver, Seattle, Orlando.
I’ve gone on weekend long trip every year for three years completely by myself.
I’m still paying for the last one, but I’m so curious—where will I go in 2026?
When I was young, I would’ve never guessed I’d do so much traveling, and yet, here I am making it work somehow.

I can’t believe Reddit wouldn’t let me comment on a post because I had used an em dash—I’ve been using em dashes in my writing frequently for over a decade

I think some people loved Legends: Arceus because it changed the Pokémon formula; meanwhile, I loved it because it maintained the Pokémon formula

Taking notes for my big end of year video game video has me realizing I made a few omissions last year.
It was probably intentional, but I have a different perspective this year lol

I rewatched my Gaming Year in Review 2024 video and OOF. I wish I had more time to spend editing. I think it could’ve been cleaned up a ton.
Admittedly, at the time, I knew I wasn’t saying anything substantial. But it could’ve been much better edited.
That means I know my goals for this year!

Like. Streetlight Manifesto is my favorite band. I’m just happy to get anything I can.
And the thing is, the band has earned enough trust from me that I know they’ll put their best effort into any project.
They deserve our patience.
We’ll get what we get when the time is right, & I’ll be excited.

Man, I’m so tired of online discourse.
Streetlight Manifesto is not ready with their new album and people are so annoying about it instead of thinking about the human aspect of it.
If I didn’t know about any new music, I still would’ve gone to see the local show AND flown out to Orlando still.

Okay, making a list of every single game I booted up this year … it’s a lot of games.
Some of these games were just played for a few minutes to try them out.
Does that count as playing those games this year?
Do those games go in their own category?
The year looks more intense than last year

Honestly, as someone who does not have a PC, the idea of a Steam Machine is very alluring. There are a bunch of games I’d like to play on a machine like that without having to get a Windows PC

I'm glad everyone seems to enjoy the video! I'm seeing a lot of positive conversation, especially on reddit lol.
This video took a lot of hard work to get it how I liked, so it's cool to see so many people stop by to watch!

I don’t think I’m ever gonna build an audience online, but that’s really not my goal.
Instead, I just wanna have fun talking about things I love!
This video’s exactly the kind of thing I wanna do for a few other topics.

It’s the time of year where I start work on my big recap video for the games I’ve been playing all year.
I learned a lot from making the first one, and I’m hoping this second one is even better than the first.
Plus I still have a few other ideas to work on next year.

I’ve been working on a video idea I’ve had since the spring. I thought I would’ve had it done by the summer, but it’s good that I’m doing it now. It’s refreshing being able to make something I’m excited about, and hopefully, I can get a few more of these ideas outta my head

I SWEAR I WAS NOT SHINY HUNTING. I WASN’T EVEN GONNA KEEP THIS SAVE FILE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET A LUCKY EGG AND THEN CAPTURE SOME FOOTAGE.
I can’t believe this Nidoran is my first ever shiny in Pokémon FireRed.

Sword and Shield were the first Pokémon games I bought at launch as an adult, and they’ll always have a special place in my heart for that reason.
Still feels weird all this time later that we’ve moved on multiple times already

On this day in 2019, 6 years ago, Pokémon Sword & Shield were first released.
These games started the eighth generation of Pokémon and introduced a variety of features and Pokémon and a story following the Galar Gym Challenge

Wow, I love the Paldea region in Scarlet and Violet with Naranja and Uva Academies.
Wait, what do you mean this is actually just Lumiose City in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
