Never been to the ER before, but I guess there’s a first time for everything.

Sorry if you saw tiddies on this blog. Wires got a little crossed and it got posted on main on accident.

Generally speaking I only post tiddies on main for special circumstances.

Have you ever had something happen to you, like you receive a piece of news and... you just don't really know how to feel about it? Like, it makes you feel bad or sad or upset, but you know ultimately you shouldn't? Something you saw coming a mile away, but were still a little surprised that it happened? And in the end, you're just a little unhappy about it? Yeah, I'm going throught that right now.

Sorry for the vagueness and lack of details and clarity. That's all I can express right now.

BTW, I finally beat Tears of the Kingdom.

I've been playing it on my own time.

10/10 great game. Worthy sequel to Breath of the Wild!

There's a special kind of frustration that makes you ragequit a literal let's play recording session, but sometimes it happens.

Sometimes you play a game and encounter enough BS to the point where you just have to stop recording and take a break.

It's an occupational hazard.

And I'm finally back from my extended stay at the hospital! Thanks you everyone for all your well wishes! It really means a lot to me. :)

Again, taking a break from uploading content for the rest of the week. I'll see you all again on Monday!

[jtgunner]

I did it. I got the funny number.

No, seriously. Thanks for all the subs!

Kinda wanted to wait until the dust settled on this one because I didn't want to speak too soon, but I actually crossed the 300 YouTube subscriber threshold yesterday. And as of right now I'm at 312 subs! So if you're one of the 312, thank you so much for subbing!

I do really appreciate the support I get. I hope to continue to make content that you all will hopefully enjoy, and I hope to continue to earn that support in the future!

ALSO, if you didn't know, I do let's plays and other gaming stuff on YouTube! Check it out if you haven't already!

My Blog and Bob Saget

I don't know how many people that follow me remember me from the early 2010s (not that I was a noteworthy Tumblr user back then, or even now, but still). The big joke I made about my blog was that I was "obsessed" with Bob Saget. My profile pic during that time was literally taken from the opening credits of Full House with a young Bob Saget.

I literally had some (very minor) infamy as being known as the "Bob Saget" guy. And while I did retire that joke after a very long time, Bob Saget did have some influence on my blog and my sense of humor, especially during those early days.

I'm not gonna claim to be a big fan of Bob Saget. While I watched Full House, it wasn't a show I actively enjoyed, I didn't watch Fuller House, and I didn't pay much attention to the rest of his career, I guess you could say I'm a fan of him as some sort of absurd symbol. Of a man who did family-friendly TV shows while also doing raunchy adult-oriented comedy. Of a man who himself was just an absurd meme.

He was taken from us way too soon. Thank you, Bob Saget, for the laughs and entertainment you provided.

Boy, it's been a rough couple of weeks, and I certainly hit my lowest point (thus far) yesterday. Didn't get good enough sleep the last couple of nights, but last night I had better sleep.

That said, I have emerged from this with what I believe to be a new outlook on life. A new way of seeing things, of thinking about things. Re-evaluating who is important to me in my life, where I stand in theirs, and where they stand in mine.

It wasn't necessarily a positive thing that happened, but I'm looking at the silver lining: I understand people better now than I did the day before. I will use this newfound knowledge to my advantage.

I realize I'm vagueposting right now, and honestly, I'm going to keep it vague. What happened, why, and where isn't important to the rest of you. Just know that I do see things differently now.

What MIGHT apply to you, especially if you watch my videos, is that I will use this knowledge and new look on life in an attempt to change my modus operandi when it comes to content creation.

How different will things be? I do not know at this point.

As I consider myself to be, in a way, an entertainer, I will use the negatives in my life positively. I will use this energy to improve my craft. I have a long way to go to improve, and I will continue to strive for improvement.

As I understand the people and the world around me more, I owe it to myself to change my outlook.

It's corny to say "this is a birth of a new me!"... But that is kinda how I see things now.

Thanks for reading this long-ass rambling about dumb bullshit that happened to me. You deserve a cookie.

For those of you who follow me on YouTube and enjoy what I do, the let's play for Star Fox 2 on the SNES should be up on the one-year anniversary on next Saturday, the 11th. And I've got new ideas for new content coming up in the future. Thanks for sticking around.

Guys, help. I'm listening to the Persona 5 OST right now and it's making me wanna replay it.

Every New Year's Eve, I always feel a bit of anxiety. A worry that I didn't do much this year, and that I probably won't do much next year. Sometimes I even worry that I'll never do anything with my life.

This year is a bit different though, in that I know that I have done something. Namely, start my YouTube channel (or perhaps more accurately, make use of the YouTube channel I've had).

In a way, I still have the old New Year's Eve anxiety of not doing anything. After all, I didn't really start my let's plays until June, a month before my 30th birthday this year. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't start earlier. I had planned to start the channel back in January or February, but I just put it off until June. It's just like some of my other hobbies, I couldn't find the motivation to just do it, and that would depress me. I found myself in a dark, depressive state because I couldn't just engage in my hobbies and passions, and I'd be stuck in this vicious loop. I'd be sad that I wasn't doing what I enjoy, and I didn't do what I enjoy because I'd be too sad.

But earlier this year, around late May, early June, something happened that made me realize something: If I want to do this thing I said I wanted to do in the beginning of 2021, if I wanted to try out doing let's plays, I'd better start now. Didn't matter if I was almost 30. I figured it would be now or never. So then I decided to record two episodes of playing Star Fox for the SNES, and see where it went from there.

And it's been fun. I've enjoyed recording videos of me playing games and providing commentary. It's been fun teaching myself how to edit. It's especially been fun drawing my video thumbnails, because my inability to make myself draw more had been a point of anxiety I've felt, too. But thanks to this, I've been able to engage more in my hobbies and passions, and I feel like I've accomplished something this year.

Do I wish I could've done more? Sure. Do I wish I should've done let's plays and art earlier in my life? Definitely. That's something I've always wanted to do, and even though it's taken a long time, I've done it.

I'm certainly not where I thought I would be in my life at age 30, but at least I've finally found something I enjoy, and I hope to continue doing that.

So in 2022, I plan to make more content. More let's plays, more art (and even art that has nothing to do with my videos), and other stuff I've just been putting off. There's lots of stuff that I enjoy doing, I just need to actually do it.

Dunno how 2022 will be as a year. You never know which years will be good or which years will be bad. But regardless, I'm gonna do what I wanna do.

Happy New Year's, everyone! And make sure whatever it is you wanna do in the upcoming year, that you just go out and do it.

It is still kinda wild for me to think that I'll literally be turning 30 the week after next, on the 19th.

[jtgunner]

I need to learn to relax.

I woke up yesterday morning half in a panic because I couldn’t remember if it was Friday or Saturday, and thus not knowing if I was going to be late or work or not.

I checked my phone, and obviously it said Saturday.

I woke up this morning not remembering half in a panic because I almost thought it was Monday, and that I would be late for work. Then I remembered that since yesterday was Saturday, today was Sunday.

I’m becoming a mess.

One year ago, I uploaded my first let's play!

So I made this little vlog/face reveal to commemorate the occassion, as well as to provide an update as to the future of my YouTube channel.

WATCH IT HERE: https://youtu.be/CPpmaZCq0p0

My let's play of Star Fox 2 for the SNES will be up tonight, at 5:00pm EST, June 11th, 2022!
