I talked about wanting to make this video last year, Gunpei Yokoi's life story. He was the original producer on Pokemon, and Tajiri considered him "like a father." If not for Yokoi, there would be no Pokemon. Good for fans interested in the folks behind the series:

Not that I'm tooting my own horn because it's all relative. But this is probably the best video I ever wrote. If you have the time, I reckon it'll change your perspective on Nintendo's history. It starts in 1941 and Famicom doesn't come up till halfway in btw.

Both my cats just started limping out of nowhere. One has a swollen back-left foot, the other's front-left like this. Gonna take them to a vet soon, but anyone seen this before? The white cat never fights (she's a scaredy). Makes me wonder if it's something in nature?

I've just finished writing the first draft of a (15 minute) video. It makes quite a few references to annual financial reports. I wanted to ask if any of y'all might be accountants or something, and would be willing to read it over and offer advice? I don't want to risk making a.

Re: Switch 2 controversy. Just shower thoughts (don't kill me). Besides the prices themselves, I think a big factor's that Nintendo spent the past 20 years training their fans to not care about graphics, and to expect affordability in return. Wii was $250, PS3 was $600; Wii U

Gold Points were discontinued a week before the April 2nd Direct. Game Vouchers, I should've said, DO still exist, but aren't gonna be available on Switch 2.

Not that my opinion matters much. But after thinking it over the last few days, I don't think I'm gonna get a Switch 2. I've had almost every Nintendo system since the NES, but tbh I just ain't feelin it this time around. The thing that tears it for me is Nintendo getting rid of

My wife had kind of a panic attack last week, and ever since she's had restricted vision that hasn't gotten any better. Eye doctor said nothing's wrong with her eyes (physically). Anyone ever have this happen before, know what to do?.

The Bible says Jesus taught the lame to walk. I'd like to reference this in a video about someone who (among other things) tried to come up with a new physical rehabilitation system, but died before its completion. Basically I wanna say "if not for his tragic death, he might've.
