I have to say it has been such a motivation boost to see your engagement with my videos this month. This started as an experiment due to having a lot of footage lying around from video projects I scrapped. Truthfully, I always wanted to make video game review/essay content, however, after trying that for a period of 10 years, I found that type of content exhausting to make. Especially with my terrible efforts as a teenager, and efforts as an adult that took way longer than I thought it would. I came to the startling revelation that the content I enjoyed consuming the most on YouTube, was a chore to make myself. By no means am I trying to pass off the same cliché that YouTube is hard, but art is a process. I found myself in the new year sitting at my desk preparing for my 3rd semester of college with a hard drive loaded with video files just sitting there… menacingly. So, I decided to just schedule uploads of it, especially since other channels are starting to take off uploading just straight no commentary gameplay. Whether this is a result of people my generation or older looking up gameplay to relive their memories, or just that people find it exciting, I think I finally found out what you the audience want from me (hopefully). This channel has been directionless for most of its 10+ year existence, and I’m glad I’m delivering what you want. Please, look at my poll, or leave comments suggesting content. Seriously, without you I would have no audience.

Hello viewers longtime and old,

Thank you for over 10 years of memories,
