Hey everyone! Hope the past few months have treated you well! If you've watched my livestreams over on Twitch or seen the VODs, I've been talking about being on hiatus while I'm traveling and finding a new place to live! Well, I'm still on hiatus and most likely will be for the rest of the year so I would not expect any new stuff to be posted until the start of 2026. There's a possibility of vlogs while I'm on this hiatus, but I'm not promising anything.

Why so long a wait? Since the start of August, I've always wanted to travel around and see the US with my own eyes rather than through videos or pictures. Since I knew I'd be moving as well, I figured that now was the perfect time because if I don't get around to it, I won't have this opportunity ever again. I'm planning on spending about 2-3 weeks on the road traveling, visiting family I haven't seen in years and just decompressing and treating this as a vacation from making content.

Also, I was supposed to start this road trip almost 2 weeks ago but elements outside my control kept getting in the way including a bit of mental stress that I honestly don't want to get into. However it looks like I'll finally be able to start out properly tomorrow!

I wanted to get this post out of the way before I set out again for those of you that don't follow me on Bluesky so you know why there's been no content lately: this is why. I'm really hoping to be back starting next year, and hopefully this time away reignites my drive to make stuff regularly again!

Enjoy the rest of the year and see you in 2026!

Hey everyone. I hope today is finding you well! Apologies for there being no new content for the past *checks watch* 2 months but I felt I still needed some time away from focusing on things. However, I think it's about time to start ramping things up again...so I'll be starting things off with a return to streaming on Twitch!

I'll be live later today starting around 5-7pm Eastern where I'll talk about how I'll be handling things on YouTube and Twitch going forward as well as playing a game. I might continue my playthrough of Order of Ecclisia that I started during the Halloween stream or just do something else. If you miss the stream, I intend to turn the content discussion into its own video to upload here as well as having the entire VOD here later as well!

Take it easy, everyone and see you later today!

Hey everyone! It's been quite a bit since my soft hiatus post a few months ago so I figure I'd give you guys on update on where things stand for me!

First off, I'm taking things slow still. If you've noticed I've only been releasing a video once every week or 2 aside from the reactions to the past few Nintendo Directs. I have a video recorded but after looking at it, I might have to go back and re-record it since something went screwy with the footage. Current plan is to not post anymore videos this month and start posting again at the start of June, probably June 2nd. What will I post besides more Majora's Mask? Honestly, probably not much else. There might be something else thrown in there, but I'll try to put my focus on getting the game done.

Also, I'll most likely be returning to Twitch at the start of next month too! I've been keeping a list of games I'd like to stream so I'll have plenty to pick from when I start up! As for what I'll be playing for my first stream back? It'll either be Earthbound or the Metroid Prime Remaster and I'm leaning toward the latter at the moment! Keep an eye on my Bluesky so you know when my first stream back will be! (bsky.app/profile/mrviperfang.bsky.social)

Lastly, I've got a move coming up in a few months that I've slowly been prepping for. Still no clue the exact date or where yet but some of that prep will involve selling some things I don't need to help cover moving expenses. Needless to say, this has also cut into video production a bit.

That's about it! Thank you for your patience while I work through everything and I'll hopefully be back in a capacity that WON'T burn me out going forward. Take it easy, everyone!

P.S. - It was a bad idea to start playing Satisfactory...

Hey everyone! I hope February's been treating you well.

Sorry I've been pretty quiet the past couple weeks. I've been taking it easy and slowly coming to the realization that I might have burned myself out a bit, So don't be surprised if I don't release anything for the rest of the month.

I have thought about quitting for sure, but I think I just need some time to clear my head. I've been stressed out for a while and current events have certainly not helped things in the slightest. And when everything comes together, it really kills your motivation and drive to make stuff.

However, I'm don't think I'm done; I think I just need a few weeks away from things. When I feel like I'm ready, I'll get back to it and let you know what my plan is for videos going forward and my eventual return to Twitch.

See you on the other side, everyone!

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm where you are! It's been almost half a year since I made one of these update posts, so let's get into what's gonna be happening this month and beyond!

The new expansion for Final Fantasy XIV released at the end of June about a week after I streamed the end of the launch Shadowbringers MSQ. Since that time, I've streamed it 3 more times, finishing off the Binding Coils raids finally and getting a start on both the Alliance and Eden raids! I've also released a video on the rest of the Sage quests.

I want to finish up the post-launch MSQ, and all the raid series for Shadowbringers before the end of the year so we can go into Endwalker content for the new year! So I'll be going a bit heavy on FFXIV streams this month to accomplish that. I also want to release videos on the other role questlines before the month is up since I feel that content is pretty important for a little tidbit that gets touched on in Endwalker.

I've kept up a steady release of the Classic Mode videos for Smash Bros. Ultimate, and at long last, the final video for that series will be getting posted this Friday! Feels nice to be able to wrap up that series so I can concentrate on other projects both current and new. Speaking of current projects:

I finally got a start on my next let's play: Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask! The idea for releases will be a video or two a week, ideally, but I'm not gonna hold myself to a steady schedule for this one. I'll release episodes for this one as they are ready, but I plan to have one coming out this week at least!

Finally, my big announcement! I'm going to go back to streaming on Twitch at the start of January. Another reason I want to finish up Shadowbringers streams this month. in the 2 years I've moved to streaming here, the little things I've been aggravated with on the dashboard have just felt like it isn't worth it. Yes, there's transcoding options by default and a couple other small things that are neat compared to Twitch, it's just plain bad when you compare everything else imo. So what will happen with VODs? Probably the same thing I did with them before moving to YouTube streaming. However, I may try something else with them, it just depends on how much work I'm comfortable taking on in addition to everything else. I'll have a more solid answer later.

One little thing about the streaming move, though. There is one game that I will continue to stream exclusively here and that is my Infinite Fusion playthrough where I'm fusing Eevee with everything! This will happen sometime in the middle of the month and after that, I will be done with YouTube streaming! Chrono Trigger will move over to Twitch though, but the VODs will be put in the same playlist as Chrono Trigger so they can be found easily.

That's about it. Like usual, if any changes to these plans happen, I'll either make a new post or pin a comment to this post. Take it easy and I'm looking forward to closing this month out. Take it easy, and see you tomorrow for the next FFXIV stream!

Hey everyone! I hope June has been treating you well!

This post is just to update everyone on this week's stream schedule as it'll be more intense than usual being the last full week I can stream Final Fantasy XIV before the pre-release of Dawntrail.

Basically, I'll be streaming every day for the next 5 days starting at around 6-7pm Eastern! My goal this week is the same as it has been for the entire month: Finish the Shadowbringers 5.0 MSQ. If I can take care of a bit extra, that's fine too! Anything that I don't finish will be put on hold until the beginning of September as FFXIV content (save for maybe 1 or 2 videos) will be on hiatus after this week no matter what.

As for today's stream, I hope to be starting at 5pm Eastern which is abound 4 hours from now.

See you guys then!

Hey everyone! Happy Pride Month and I hope everyone's May was a good one! As we head into June, I figured I'd better give an update on everything that's going on this month, so let's get into it!

With less than a month before the next expansion for Final Fantasy XIV drops, I'll be putting things into full gear to finish up as much of Shadowbringers as possible. Ideally, I want to be finished with everything up to Patch 5.55, but it's looking like I'll only be able to finish 5.0 and maybe a side story. To that end, I'll be doing 3 streams a week and trying to go for a bit longer than 2 hours each time since the story is larger than previous expansions. My current plan is to stream every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 7pm Eastern this month unless something comes up.

The last day I plan to stream FFXIV before Dawntrail launches will be Saturday, June 22nd. Afterward, I'll be putting the game on hiatus for a month or two so I can focus on playing the expansion on my main as well as playing other stuff for the channel.

On the topic of other content, my let's play for the Side Order DLC in Splatoon 3 will be wrapping up in the next couple weeks! All I have left to release is the Splatling run which comes out tomorrow, the final run the following Monday, and the video dedicated to the log entries! I have no set time for that video, but it will come out this month! As for other Splatoon 3 content, I plan on streaming the next Splatfest this month if one happens and I'll be moving a Saturday FFXIV stream to the Friday before it and I'll be streaming 4 days!

For other Splatoon 3 content this month, if I can find a bit of time to record, I'll try to release a multiplayer content this month. Whether that's Turf War, Salmon Run or other modes, I have no idea yet!

And finally, a small glimpse into something coming in July: Smash Bros. Ultimate Classic Mode will be returning starting the first Friday of July! I still haven't purchased either Fighter Pass yet, but I plan to in the next couple weeks, and then begin recording the runs shortly after!

That's about it! I'll have more details on the rest of the stuff coming in July at the end of this month but I know for certain Smash Bros. is returning so I felt like talking about it now. As always if anything changes, I'll leave a comment here or post to my BlueSky.

Take it easy everyone, and see you this Tuesday for the next FFXIV stream!

Hey everyone! I was planning on streaming tonight but I encountered some issues with my internet as I was about to begin, so I' going to hold off on streaming tonight and pick things back up on Wednesday. I most likely won't be able to tomorrow due to things happening at my day job the next few weeks. in addition to Wednesday, I'll try to get a stream in on Thursday and Saturday will be going on as usual. I will be finishing the rest of the Stormblood MSQ this week or die* trying!

Take it easy, everyone and see you on Wednesday!

* - I will not actually be dying.
