In case long-form content does make a return, here's what I had in the back of my mind:

A run through of Super Mario Eclipse.
- Unfortunately it can't be a first time experience since I already played it in my spare time. This playthrough would go until I say I'm done, due to having two final bosses and the second one requiring 100%. It would be done through Dolphin for the upscaling, and my system can handle it no problem. It may feature co-commentary, something not seen outside of my Fortnite content in years. The goal would hopefully be 200 shines at minimum. Would be tacked on as 3D All-Stars. Let me also put it this way: I adore Chuggaaconroy, but I'm not him. 100% isn't my goal, any% is.

A first ever playthrough of Okami Sequel.
- Anyone who knows me well-enough is aware of how Okami shaped a lot of my hobbies. The fact that I stalled on playing it for a year out of spite is WILD to me. The sequel got announced to me very casually, and I'm glad they weren't talking about Okamiden. If this new game gets a Steam/Epic release (preferably the former, and assuming I can run it), I'll make a full blind playthrough from start to finish. On one hand, I want it to release next year. On the other, I want it to take as long as needed to finish it properly.

A second-time run of Zelda Twilight Princess Wii.
- Being introduced to the Wii version of Twilight Princess makes it difficult to play it on a standard controller and with a correctly flipped world. The game means a lot to me, and I'd like to give it another try, especially the horse cart escort. Unlike Super Mario Eclipse, this would be done on Wii U for the 1080p upscale. In case you never heard, it was also the last game (minus Skyrim) that my dad played, and was originally meant for him to play.

A casual run of Tony Hawk's Underground 2.
- I'm an adoring fan of the Tony Hawk games, and for the gameplay, Underground 2 is my favorite. Underground is my favorite for the story. I can clear the easy and normal story modes 100% in about 5 hours, and think it'd be fun to do so. This would be through PCSX2. I'm aware that a PC version exists (along with THUG PRO), but would rather do it this way. I tried it through Dolphin since I played it on GC growing up, but much prefer it on PCSX2.

Finishing Super Mario Galaxy 2.
- I never forgot that my playthrough of SMG2 halted after completing world 2. It'd be great to finish it at the very least. Guarantee it wouldn't be 100% either, because I've never unlocked Grandmaster Galaxy and doubt I ever will. Before anyone says anything, I'm fully aware of Super Mario Galaxy 2 being available on NS1/NS2 now. But I'd rather not spend $40 USD on a game I got on Wii U for half that. Not to mention, have you SEEN that UI font? GROSS.

Rendering the extra episode of SMG1 All-Stars.
- Back when I was still recording SMG1, I had a separate save for a casual run. I just so happened to get all the stars as Mario, something I never accomplished as a kid. It's not a long vid, but it would show my initial reaction to unlocking Luigi for the first time ever. I was incredibly proud of myself.

Making comps of Spyro RT PS4 for Ripto's Rage and YOTD.
- I streamed my entire playthrough of Spyro RT on PS4, and the mic quality was shit, along with other issues. Despite this, I still made a workable comp for the Spyro 1 portion, and would love to do so for the other two games. Funnily enough, I have the trilogy on Steam but haven't touched it since purchase.

I guarantee none of this, don't hold your breath. If it happens, I hope you like it. If it doesn't happen, well, insert appropriate response here.

Due to extremely unfortunate circumstances, I am forced to abandon both of my current long-form video projects. During the process of upgrading to Windows 11 this morning, I wiped all of my drives to prep. What wasn't backed up were the recordings for Minecraft From the Fog or Fortnite Ch6, which was an oversight. Personally I didn't see myself actually editing either of them for a multitude of reasons, but this is frustrating.

That does bring me to my other point of that I'm basically done. I don't have the adequate time or privacy to make general long-form content like I used to. Short form, such as the Resource Pack Demonstrations, may still go on. If this changes, I will make another update.

This is unbelievable!! The current version of Morrowind SFX Overhaul has been downloaded over 100,000 times?! I guess it's really that good! Thanks for the support! The next version will be out after Mounts of Mayhem, and is already updated with the new content such as the Parched and Camel Husk.

Given that Morrowind SFX Overhaul is getting so much attention, I'm hard at work making the succeeding patch. Here's a snippet of the changelog for the upcoming 1.5.0 version, coming out probably after the Mounts of Mayhem drop:

I am absolutely FLOORED by the amount of traction that Morrowind SFX Overhaul is getting on CurseForge. I was expecting maybe a couple hundred downloads for this update... NOT TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND! LIKE WHERE IS ALL OF THIS TRAFFIC COMING FROM?! I'm so glad you like the resource pack, because I'm very self-conscious about all of them.

I'm currently prepping the next version, which will probably ship after Mounts of Mayhem comes out. It'll include sounds for the Spear, Zombie Horse, and hopefully the Nautilus!

I updated my graphics driver to get Fortnite to stop bitching about how it's not up to date, and now NVIDIA Shadowplay is dead to me. My mic was set as the input device with proper volume, and despite my voice going through to my boyfriend on Discord just fine, the video clips don't have my voice at all. Shit program. It's OBS for PC from this point forward.

Reminder that I make resource packs for Minecraft Java! They are compatible with 1.21.10 and a few new ones have appeared in the roster. A couple have video demonstrations made by yours truly, but most only have screenshots to tide you over on their function. If you're interested in any, check the following links:

After four days of playing Super Mario Eclipse, I can confidently say I'm satisfied with having collected 200/240 Shine Sprites. Obviously, I have nitpicks. But this is THE way to play Sunshine. You get optional (built-in) 60 fps, the ability to play as Luigi and Piantissimo, expanded paths which let you walk between most stages, incredible lore expansion, infinite lives (because that shit's pointless today), and more.

This is rather small, but why doesn't Luigi have all sfx replaced? It's not a deal breaker, but Piantissimo feels more complete and he has exactly two sounds. Though speaking of that Pianta cosplayer, the sound used for him collecting a Shine should be the sound used for when you talk to him. A sign in a hidden level literally uses it.

So far from what I've played, Super Mario Eclipse is the definitive way to play Sunshine. This is even more so since 3DAS just added HD textures and achieved widescreen through a Gecko code. Not even 60 fps.
