September 2021 Report (Patreon)

Hey, we're back! Sorta. Sorry for skipping out on last month's report, but I figured if there wasn't anything worthwhile to report while I was dealing with personal things, I probably shouldn't force myself to write one. Though, some new stuff has come out recently that I can talk a bit about!

How I Dump Data From My Game Cartridges 

Part of the smaller-scale video ideas I said I was planning to work on in the last report! Most of the time spent on this video was actually finding some free time to film all the B-roll and on-screen footage lol

As someone who's starting to grow a decent collection of games, I realize this is a topic that not a lot of people may have familiarity with, so I decided to make this video. Hopefully it can still serve as a little guidance if you're planning on tinkering with save files on physical cartridges as well!

Besides this video, I also have another video uploaded on my second channel where I take a look at a Wii Remote-shaped TV remote that was made by Club Nintendo Japan! I considered doing a Things of Interest episode on it, but I think it's simple and easy enough to explain and talk about in an unscripted video, and it was definitely fascinating to try out and (apparently) take apart on camera for the first time. I recently upgraded my phone as well since the last second channel video, so shooting these videos should hopefully be a lot easier without running into audio problems and whatnot. And they continue to be good unscripted speaking practice. :P

For what's coming up next, there are the several other small-scale ideas I'm looking to explore as I noted previously. For some of these ideas I might even do some $2+ exclusive streams in my Discord server as well, so keep an eye out (since I'm not sure I have a consistent schedule for these things oops)

And as for personal life things, I'm doing good! Went through some ups and downs and some occasional self-reflecting about my path, but I'm still on-track. Thank you for your concerns! I might also be considering testing some public art commissions down the line as a side gig as well, so stay tuned. I'll catch you guys in the next report, whenever that may be!
