It’s finally over. 👏 Still should have never been demonetized for 9 months in the first place but glad it’s finally done. Let’s do it to it.
Despite good things happening for me right now, like YouTube remonetization and others, I still feel I'm behind, and the frustration fuse is still short. Still overwhelmed to where I need to lighten more loads and drop out of some collabs/plans.
I don't want to, but for my sanity, I may have to.

Arcus Odyssey offers the illusion of a morality system by giving you two chances during your conversation with the final boss to abandon your quest and agree to serve her instead. Unfortunately, doing so doesn’t even force you back into the “good” loop: It just results in an instant Game Over. LOL.

The sad thing about waiting so long to archive your Twitch VODs on YouTube is that if you have chat on screen, as you're scrubbing the VOD, you may see many ppl in chat that used to be in your streams regularly that disappeared over the years.
I understand but it's still a bit sad. 😔

SEGA clearly see NiGHTS as a valuable legacy character, I just hope they take them beyond crossovers…
If a new game isn’t in the cards, at least make their others officially accessible, give people a point to jump to after enjoying the guest appearances, seize this opportunity.

I’ve been thinking about YouTube ideas that I shelved worrying that they may not be “timely” or even due to when I was demonetized, but now thinking of spinning them into a “in 2026” vibe.
Maybe I still wanna make a video about the Genesis Mini 2 that ppl would still watch today 😂 (old thumbnail 👇)

Hey y'all! Quick Twitch update: had some IRL things to handle + plus rest from KamiCon, and I start more convention work tomorrow (con #2 out of 3), so no stream until Monday. But here's next week's Growing Up Genesis lineup!
Thanks for your patience y'all; February is always a super busy month.

Question for my fellow video editors: DaVinci Resolve or Vegas Studio? Which do you use and why?
Since I’m back on my editing game, I’m ready to ditch as much Adobe from my work as possible and CapCut only goes so far for long-form. I got Vegas Studio 22 from Humble Bundle a while back.

Hey yall! I’m on the way back from a successful KamiCon! I should be back to stream tomorrow but may have IRL biz I need to take care of.
So there may only be one stream this week or there may be a Thursday night stream before working at Animeverse Fest this weekend. 3 Events this month!

Someone in the crowd at the retro gaming area at KamiCon that I’m working is recording the event with a classic VHS-C camcorder; so cool!
Makes me want to see if I can borrow my parents’ old camcorder for a goofy project or something. I think it’s a Hi-8?? 🤔

A big downside of working a convention during Super Bowl weekend is not getting my tradition of recreating it in Tecmo Super Bowl.
Fun G fact: Tecmo Super Bowl is one of my favorite games of all time, no foolin’. 🏈
