Games I beat this year 2024!

[Hera Kita 🪓🐾Final Girl Vtuber @xHeraKita]

Yeah if you haven't heard... I'm a Partner now!
I'm filled with so much love and joy and relief.

I have a lot of feelings, I feel like quite an enigma.
Maybe it's imposter syndrome talking but...

Nothing I've done to get to this point is what others would tell you to do.
I now keep getting asked advice and... I don't know what to say... Because from the moment I started streaming four years ago, I've just genuinely been here for the love of the game.

・ From day one I streamed only to have fun. I streamed what I wanted, when I wanted, and rarely ever put out actual schedules.
・I did the biggest thing everyone tells you NOT to do. I hit go live and just... Played games!
・I'm not talented. I can't draw or sing or... Anything really!
・I RARELY looked at or paid attention to my numbers, until the point I was ready to Partner Push.
・I work a full-time job 40+ hours a week. I VERY rarely would stream after work, and the days I did stream were inconsistent.
・I'm able to edit shorts, but I don't have time to edit for myself... Because of that I never uploaded shorts to other sites.
・ I'm horrible at socializing and networking. I have very few friends who are actually Vtubers. Instead, I focused on nurturing my community and growing close to them and actually making friends with people who AREN'T Vtubers.
・That being said I know I wouldn't be here without the help from my closest friends who ARE Vtubers, and I love and appreciate them SO much.
・I rebranded character AND name!! Like... Only a year ago!

So yeah... I don't know...
I want to be the proof that if you want something enough, if you love something enough, you will reach your goal.

Thank you all for sticking with me through the best and worst times.
Thank you all for believing in me.
And to those that didn't believe in me, to those who told me I'd never get anywhere, thank you as well.
You helped me to push myself harder to prove you wrong and now... I'm still standing 💝

Thank you all💝

I'm the reverse gatekeeper, I will force you to play everything I like.

SKINS doing open call auditions & giving working class kids a chance isn’t talked about enough!! without it we would’ve never gotten acting icons dev patel, jack o’connell, daniel kaluuya, kaya scodelario, nicholas hoult & jacob anderson!! more productions should take notes.

[Wanderjegson @wanderjegson]

I believe Link has three parallels:
Tingle is someone who desperately wants to be a fairy, and everyone mocks him for it.
Kafei is an adult trapped in a child's body against his will.
And Skull Kid couldn't cope with loneliness after being abandoned by his friends.

I’m not relevant enough to use for right wing grifting I guess 🚶

That… or I’m above the age of consent so he lost interest

[(exist)ential nightmare! @existingclouds]

@PaperSonicIdol That's so so interesting to me genuinely.

[(exist)ential nightmare! @existingclouds]

Playing Wind Waker and Twilight Princess back to back really highlighted this for me.

Even in themes and story SO much of Wind Waker is saying we don't need Hyrule, we don't need an incarnation of Link, we don't even need Epona in order to be LoZ.

[Jake Landau (He/Him) 🇨🇦🇵🇸🇺🇦 @JakeLandauTO]

Twilight Princess also only exists as a game because Nintendo had to pander to manchildren who got upset at Wind Waker having an actual art style.

Update

[this birthday boo! @mamimiFLCL]

you can enjoy and like a game while also criticizing it

[(exist)ential nightmare! @existingclouds]

@Damac1214 100% agree, just couldn't get everything all in one.

[BlueBoyScout 🥙 #ThankYouGunn @avoidrobin]

Real reasons by the fucking way

@PaperSonicIdol How did I NOT know that. I would 100% consider that a factor.

[Marcus is Fighting @CosmonautMarcus]

Ten more years of bad DC movies LETS GOOOOO

[Mr. Goji  @Mr_goji54]

Good morning kaiju lovers

[Ed_rick @EduardoBeh36390]

Not for much longer

[(exist)ential nightmare! @existingclouds]

@potatatopub Love it, thanks for explaining.

[(exist)ential nightmare! @existingclouds]

@potatatopub I have to fully admit I know NOTHING about Another Eden but I love Frog Chrono Trigger and he seemed to be just that.

[(exist)ential nightmare! @existingclouds]

@DreamigeraJ Totally and completely valid.

It was just my takeaway when playing both so close to one another.

[(exist)ential nightmare! @existingclouds]

Then Twilight Princess goes so hard in the other direction, we have Epona, we have Hyrule, we have the hylian shield, the hero this time is heavily implied to be related to the Hero of Time.

maybe this is what they felt like making but it does feel like it's in response to WW.
