Nintendo’s getting antsy about who talks about their games and how, so Nintendo Power retrospectives is going to take some time off until Nintendo settles down.

Quick Notes On Upcoming Content
The next game I’ll be Let’s Playing once I finish Halo Infinite will be Citizen Sleeper.
Also, I fell a little behind on putting episodes together, so I will be putting together a Youtube video on my experiences getting my CPAP machine and getting diagnosed with Sleep Apnea.
I got through my surgery and the recovery, so it’s time to give my thoughts on how the surgery went, along with a really quick update on the whole Polymega situation.
One other Medical Note – Sleep Apnea
One other quick medical note – that I’m not just posting here because I need to fill space, but because this is a sincere reminder. I recently got tested for Sleep Apnea, and it was determined that I do, in fact, have Sleep Apnea and will be getting a CPAP machine in the not-too-distant future. Again, I’m probably going to go more-in-depth with this once I actually get the CPAP machine. However, suffice it to say that over the past few years I have had some problems sleeping, and family members have reported that I snore – along with my observing some of my own snoring while napping.
This, combined with paying attention to my sleep data on my FitBit and with it how rested I am or am not lead me to come to the conclusion that I should take on a sleep study and get tested. I’m glad I did that – pro wrestlers from promotions like ECW have died from Sleep Apnea (Johnny Grunge), and Ryan Davis (who had the pleasure to meet at San Diego Comic Con the one year I went) had to deal with it it as well – and my Mom also experiences it – so I felt it was worth getting tested. So, this is my prompt to you, my readers and viewers, if you have problems sleeping, if you have issues with snoring or other respiratory issues, if any sleep-tracker you use shows that say, you’re losing over an hour of sleep a night, consider getting tested for Sleep Apnia – it could improve your sleep and save your life.
Quick Site News Note: Upcoming Medical Procedure
As a quick Site news note – I will be undergoing surgery for that lump on the side of my face that you probably have noticed getting gradually larger over the past few months in the middle of March (specifically on the 14th and 15th). Naturally, this will cause some disruption to my stream schedule and workflow. I will try to get enough of a buffer together that this shouldn’t cause too much of a problem, but I will likely not be streaming that weekend.
I’m probably going to do something of a video about this after the procedure to talk about the experience, at least a little. However, if there’s a disruption in my schedule around that time – that’s why.
Slight Break in the Halo Let’s Play
So, the Let’s Play is going to take a very short break due to some technical difficulties. My tale of woe lies below the cut.
Continue readingI give a few quick notes about whether the SAG-AFTRA Podcast guidelines (as of 7/29/2023) will impact the Anime Explorations Podcast, and talk about why actors and writers matter, and why we need to keep talking about performances and writing (brought on by a podcast I listen to saying that talking about that is scabbing).

I’m going to end up missing an episode this week due to various delays related to illness and postponed holiday plans. We will have my otherwise regularly scheduled episode of Breaking It All Down next week.

Twitter Is Dying – Where Can You Find Me?
As the title says, Twitter is on the brink of death, which leads to the question, where can you find me now on social media – should Twitter follow Myspace and Google+ into virtual oblivion? Well, there are a few options.

Vlog: Plans for 2022
This isn’t quite a proper holiday letter, and is instead meant to more cover my future plans for next year, and what you can expect on the channel.
Continue readingAnnouncement: Streams on Hold
As a quick heads up – for the foreseeable future, my streams will be on hold. My last few attempts at streaming had about 65% of the frames dropped, and that was with attempting to shut down any system processes that used network traffic and after replacing my router.
Part of these issues were what lead to the Lost Episode of my Super Robot Wars V Let’s Play, which I got into on the May 30th installment. Going forward, Let’s Play installments will be recorded offline, and then uploaded to YouTube. This may lead to something of a delay in cases where I run into footage that triggers automated copyright bots.
I apologize for the hassle – I do want to start streaming again at some point in the future. Some bandwidth tests outside of Speedtest that I’ve run have lead me to suspect that my upstream bandwidth is being throttled.
This is something of an unwanted reminder of the importance of Net Neutrality – and I recommend readers contact their legislators in their country of residence to make sure that no-strings-attached Net Neutrality is made the law of the land.
I’m making some updates to the Patreon campaign! Continue reading
Fundraising Campaign for the Show
As you’ve probably noticed, the video quality for my episodes isn’t great. I’d like to fix that and I need your help to do it. So, I’ve started a fundraising campaign on IndieGoGo to raise the money for new cameras, microphones and other stuff.
