Hello and good day! I just want to quickly thank everyone for the support over the last couple months, truly it's been awesome. There are a few updates that I want to share, so please read along~ Going to be a long post I'm so sorry haha.

So, first thing's first, we are entering what I'm dubbing a LOW POWER MODE. In short, we've made a number of changes behind the scenes... but also I have bills I need to catch up on haha. What this means is that we won't be uploading for a little bit (roughly a month), but we will be working on everything else in the background: scripting, proofreading, thumbnail creation, all that. The only two things that won't be worked on will be editing and voice recording. For editing, it's a matter of my editor (who has now changed hands, thank you to ‪@HistoryDoggo‬ for revitalizing the channel) not being available until that time and also just wanting a fresh coat of paint for the new year. For recording... my mic kinda died, really badly! I did order a new set-up though that is going to sound NICE, believe that!

When we return (late January-early February atm) we'll be working on a biweekly release schedule until my credit cards are paid off, but in return that means you guys will be getting longer videos on average! Shorts will resume on that every-two-day period once we get rolling as well. While we're in this waiting period, I will be putting up community posts daily/every other day. These'll mostly center on Persona, but a few other topics might be sprinkled in as well.

Speaking of topics, video topics on our return. We currently have the following planned!

Hot Shots Golf 3 Challenge Video: This is going to be utilizing RetroAchievements, with the purpose of the video being to get every achievement for the game. This video was ORIGINALLY a Persona 1 video, where I tried to make Vishnu (the ultimate Persona)... but I got very, very bored while making it. If I'm bored making it, how can I expect y'all to be entertained, y'know?

Persona Vocal Track Tierlist: This was originally the first planned video of the new year! This is going to cover just about EVERYTHING -- mainline titles, spinoff games, and the anime! If there's an exclusive song to the stage plays or audio drama CDs... I'm so sorry. BUT it is 160 total songs that I'll be ranking so hopefully that makes up for it?

Persona Starting Point: This'll be a nice chill video following that behemoth. Basically, we're going to look at each game individually and talk about the pros and cons of making that game your starting Persona game. At the end, we'll declare a best and worst title to begin with. Should be a nice one to share with friends interested in the series!

Persona 2 Innocent Sin: We are currently in the early stages of planning a Persona 2 Innocent sin retrospective! There's already a hard date for this video's release -- July 3rd, to tie into game reasons. We're going to do a flip on the Persona 1 retrospective where we put out Persona 2 Innocent Sin videos *prior* to its release, culminating in the Retrospective. The skating performances will be back as well, and I'm very much looking forward to ‪@SuperSkatingPenguin‬ working his magic to Persona 2's musical tracks~

Thanks very much for the support thus far everyone. Here's to making 2026 an even bigger year than 2025! Below is the last video we put out, if you could give it a watch. Thanks for reading, and if you got to this point let me know how you feel about Elly from Persona 1. :)

Just wanna let y'all know, things might be temporarily slowing down just a little bit on our end soon. In short, I'm gonna have credit cards to catch up in the new year BUT by that point I should be done paying my car so pros and cons?? I'm also getting a new mic so I should be soundin a whole lot better haha.

We're working out some final shorts for the year after this video I have going up Friday, thanks for sticking with me! Here's a colored version of yesterday's tease, as a treat. Artist will be formally revealed once the finalized thumbnail is being shared!
