An updated pin about me & my gaming tastes along w/ some media kit stats! I recently started multi-streaming on YouTube & Twitch in addition to my longform YouTube videos ✨
I make content on my collecting philosophy & shelf setup not only as a creative outlet but to share how I engage in the hobby. It's not to look down on others with different perspectives. I always find it strange when some view my content as an attack if we collect differently.

As a follow-up, I've made some changes and was inspired to make a video 😂

The way things have been going with 3rd party games, I'll be needing more space for my PS5 section.

I'll be checking out the Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX early today on stream! I LOVED the original trilogy & excited to see all the new features in this version. TY KoeiTecmoUS for the code💛

The 3DS is one of my favorite consoles ever. However lately there seems to be a growing concern about the longevity of the 3DS game carts so today I throw my hat in the ring on this topic!

3DS Games Are Reportedly Dying... They Still Worth Collecting?

Hades II now complete 🔥 I really LOVED this,
@supergiantgames.bsky.social really knew what they were doing in taking Hades & making even BETTER in this sequel. Another one for the books and I can't wait to get to the post game content ✨

Trying to plan out my streaming schedule for the rest of 2025! These next few weeks I'll be working on Xillia, DQ 2 HD-2D, and Ryza DX, but after I beat those I'm hoping to start working on some backlog games...
Any suggestions? There are a few MAJOR JRPGs I still need to beat👀

I've recently completed a few games on stream & the latest one Digimon Story Time Stranger from tonight hit me in all the feels. The gameplay loop was so satisfying & I really loved the characters & story. Such an amazing experience & easily one of the best games from this year 😭

It's soooo thrilling to finally beat DQ I HD-2D! I felt like I learned so much about how you actually play the game in that last fight, but my hero TraderJoe triumphed!

Aye, 'twas a grand clash, it were, & thy be chompin' at the bit for the next bout with DQ II come Saturday 🔥

Now I got people @ ing me in their YouTube videos implying that I'm an unhealthy game collector. Idk how some think that me talking about curating means that I'm "overwhelmed & not sure what to do with my collection". Curating any hobby is healthy. Setting boundaries is healthy.

Happy Halloween! It's been so fun dressing up as Tifa Lockhart this year!! For today's Japanese Horror stream I'll be wearing her purple dress💜🎃🦇

Happy #DragonQuest I & II HD-2D Remake release day! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I really enjoyed DQ I remake yesterday and I can't wait to finish it up on stream today!

I've seen a lot of amazing jrpgs in the top 10 posts these past few days, and seeing that has filled me with just so much joy. It feels so validating that there are many other jrpg weirdos like me on here 🥹

The Nintendo 3DS is probably the gaming library that I've come the closest to curating. There are so many amazing JRPGs & exclusive titles that I adore and align with my gaming tastes. Which titles are your favorite from the 3DS? ✨

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I'm feeling much but after a long nap so tomorrow's Digimon stream will still be happening! I'm also going to make up for the cancelled stream with finishing up that video that I've been working on soon.
Hey all, quick update. I'll need to cancel today's stream. I was feeling a bit iffy this morning & had hoped it would go away in time for the FF Tactics stream. But unfortunately it hasn't. I was excited to play more FFT but sadly we'll have to move it to another time 😢

Man the PS2 had so many bangers, and this isn't even half of them.

10 games to get to know me! ( these were difficult to narrow down) ✨
October 20, 2025 at 6:42 PM
I think I've taken to streaming so much these 3 months is bc of the quality chat conversations. It's such a positive space w/ fun & thoughtful discussions, something I had really missed in the YouTube comment section. Every stream I look forward to what we'll talk about next!

Did anyone else notice that they totally misspelled Schera's name on one of these cards? 🤭

This Game Boy Lego set was so fun to build last night. Just look at this thicc boy!! I love how they also made sure to make the buttons squishy ✨

I may not have picked up Pokémon Legends Z-A today, but I am building this awesome Game Boy Lego set on stream this afternoon & reminiscing about my favorite Pokémon games I played on my Game Boy (Color) back in the day. Also happy belated b-day to Pokémon Silver 💜

Is it CONCERNING that we continue to see many JRPGs moving towards mobile gaming? With franchises like Suikoden, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy going mobile, we can’t help but ask: is this actually warranted or are we witnessing these beloved IP mutate into something wrong?

If you're interested in where I got some of these Bestelle cards (& more), check out the reaction to my pulls from the new English Trails TCG Vol. 1 box!

Tomorrow I plan to post a video about the 3DS. I've seen some people recently weigh in on the reported cart failures so thought I should give my take as a big 3DS enthusiast whether it's a system still worth collecting for.
