My dear and fellow beloved otakus across the state from Florida to fellow neighbors Texas. I do indeed have some very bad and awful news to tell you. This news is truly disappointing. As a Floridian otaku, I urge all of you to spread the news on what’s going on in Texas. It’s important for the anime, manga, and video game content. This topic is about censorship. It’s not only about how it will affect you. It even lands you into prison if this bill is passed.

Right now, there are two things that are certain right now. One is, the Nintendo Switch is about to turn eight years old this year, and secondly, this year, Nintendo has officially Revealed the Switch 2 on its near eighth anniversary. The truth is, the development and the eventual reveal of the switch 2 has been in the making for some years now by Nintendo, with constant rumors an leaks about the Switch 2 going on for quite some time now. Finally, on January 16, 2025, the Switch has been officially revealed at long last. Interestingly, though, the reveal for the Switch 2 by Nintendo was notably moderate and more quiet compared to last time when the first Switch was revealed back in 2016.

Well well well, would you look at that? After nearly 12 years since Pokémon X and Y’s release which was on October 13, 2013, we are finally going back to the Kalos region, with the announcement of Pokémon Legends: Z-A which is scheduled for a 2025 release, I can’t help but feel extremely satisfied. Nearly all Pokémon regions have enjoyed their fair share of in depth lore, filled with a wide variety of Pokémon, constantly being mentioned as nostalgia bait, and getting new additions to the region, and it’s Pokémon over and over again. New characters from the region, check! New Pokémon forms from the region, check! Old characters and old mechanics from the region, check!

To my fellow otaku gamers, I have been away for a bit due to the busy, but tremendous start to this year as well. Do you remember the previous photo that I uploaded that showed my console collection? Truth be told, I was pretty unsatisfied with the way they looked, and how i took the photos. Dust was everywhere, the quality was off-putting, taken at the wrong time, and I definitely didn’t enjoy the position they were in. So, I decided to retake the photos again. Since I had to clean house and clean up the areas where my consoles since they take up the most dust, I decided to retake them at the right time. So far, they are in a much better position, and the photos look a lot better. Not only did I make them easier to access and play, but I also put them in a much safer position. While, at the same time, making them look tidier and without to go through the hassle of having consoles and controllers everywhere.
Similar to what I said before with my old photos, these consoles mean a lot to me. In fact, I have three more that are unused, 1 because of no games, and the other two because, unfortunately, they are broken and unusable. Aside from that, it’s hard to believe that I have had these consoles for years. Almost all of them are 10 years, except the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Honestly, I feel emotional when looking at them. Sadly, I used to have a lot of them in the past, but some disappeared due to system failure, or unknown memories. It’s my sworn quest to recollecting all of them, and also brand-new ones as well that I have never played. Aside from that, I cherish these consoles, and I hope to expand their library soon. Here is how old they are when I bought them.
Wii: 15 Years Old (2009)
PS1: 21 Years Old (2003)
3DS: 11 Years Old (2013)
Wii U: 10 Years Old (2014)
PS4: 8 Years Old (2016)
Switch: 7 Years Old (2017)
Hopefully, I can get more of them soon, and also get a PS5 and Xbox Series X soon.
Ah… My video game collection. The first of any in the group and the passion that planted the seed to start it all. Video games and I go way back. In fact, this collection of mines that you are looking at, I have had them since the early 2000s. The oldest one being from the year 2001, and just seeing them sit comfy on my video game shelf gives me a lot of goosebumps. Like the previous collections, video games are an important passion of mine, and I still love collecting them. However, due to the rise of PC gaming and digital downloads like Steam, my collection has somewhat dwindled down, and a lot of unwanted circumstances have slashed half of what I use to own. It makes me really sad because of the games that I lost were masterpieces that have now been lost. Expensive price increases for both new games and retro games have caused harm to my collection. Nether the less, it’s my passion, and I am going forward. Soon, those games that I lost in the past, will be bought back alongside other new and retro games that I soon plan to collect once again. I’ll be making an article and a review about my video game collection soon!
