Feb. 11th, 2026 05:46 amJust bought a new copy each of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its player's guide, for some footage for my next video.
For these past two days, following the failure of my brownie-hack creation video, I have been proofreading an ebook I commissioned a few years ago, hoping to make some side-profits once and for all while I continue seeking out work, and am going to finish up today.
From there, I have already been planning just to play something other than Earthbound, before I come back to that and implement my remaining changes to the main hack. Originally, I was going to default to Xenoblade Chronicles 2, my other Switch-exclusive game after having already played The World Ends With You, but then somehow decided to check the Falcom logo in Trails in the Sky on my laptop (Steam itself flickers on my house desktop), and that glitch from before did not appear. Pulling it up later on my apartment desktop (my parents stopped renting the apartment iself out back in 2018), the issue must have since resolved itself, negating any need for a Steam Deck just to bypass what I assumed would be hardware-related degredation issues with PC games in general.
With Steam back on the table, I went on to list the games I still have (not counting free-to-download ROMs; I wanted to play stuff I've had sitting around for years now), to choose from on a die roll, that are still each awaiting any real work on a walkthrough:
1) BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm
2) Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone
3) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User (Not a Steam game, but free to download and not a ROM either.)
4) The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
5) Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
6) Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Landed 5, and while I was going to essentially have a break from YouTube itself, I also looked into promoting my main brunette-girl video through YouTube Studio. Researching that even upon waking up this morning, though, for just $144 (less than the default $200 the preparation window sets your budget at), even any subscribers I obtain towards 1,000 (the actual number required to host ads; 500 unlocks options I'm not interested in) might not actually watch any subsequent videos from there, which would end up hurting future growth.
I then remembered some planned parts of my next video, that are going to involve both TTYD and the Android version of Marenian Tavern Story. Playing those to an extent each essentially is going to provide me the change in pace I want from Earthbound, rendering any one of those other six games just a needless delay towards monetization following the time I already spent on a video that failed me there (a fraction in turn of how long that took to get around to).
