Schedule?
I haven't been releasing an early video schedule not because I am not releasing early videos but because I want to make sure I have SOME Wiggle room on stuff, I never know what might happen during the week so its better to just say You will continue to get early videos in the same way but I will always let you know if things go wrong and stuff like that but basically the early video schedule will be the same as always depending on if its a Roamer Reacts week so something like this but I want to note that sometimes we will do MEGA VIDEOS for some series so there might be days where there will be no video one day but then a MEGA video the next if that makes sense:
Honkai Star Rail
Not a Huge amount of Updates for ya this week on Honkai but I can say that uploading 3 videos this week made people excited and was fun for me also. Its interesting seeing what people like in Honkai and learning what that is as we go on. I adore hearing people's thoughts on Honkai and it really is a fun game to talk about because they have such a great attention to emotions but also very real world aspects. They have real world political reflections in this game and it makes the world feel way more real!
I have really adored following Anaxa as he is a character that feels like a puzzle that I want to solve and every line he says makes me learn a small aspect about him, its really fun! so following him in the last episode was just really enjoyable. We also got the reveal of a lifetime with Stelle and its so brave to just do that? I am so impressed with any game that is willing to do that to their already established main character. Its awesome honestly even if it was confusing and heartbreaking at the same time. Its a really beautiful cast of characters and we saw how instantly Castorice, Dan Heng and the rest were making sure she was okay. Crazy moment but turned out to show the beauty of her relationships.
We are also taking the game as it comes, Pacing the game is unintentional but also also a little Intentional? LOL what I mean is, I just without even thinking try to live in a game rather than just trying to get through it. When I am playing Honkai I never think "how long will this take?" I think "this is just a world I am in now" and I let everything unfold rather than constantly anticipating how long it will take.
Full Steam ahead! very excited to get into more of the game!
Genshin Impact
SO MY CONTROLLER HAS LAG and its very noticeable in Genshin lol It makes me sad because this is the third time this has happened.
....
.......
Moving on from that, this week I started a series where I watched old version trailers and I loved doing it, it was so interesting to see how they hyped up older stuff. Seeing them introduce Kazuha in that way while hinting at Inazuma was masterful! Really pretty stuff. Its yet to be published but I hope it does well because to me it was so so fun!
We have some Updates coming this week for Genshin so I am excited to get into them, I will be uploading them early for you guys whenever they are ready, maybe around wednesday?? but yeah you will get them early enough. I haven't seen anything from them but that never matters, I trust Genshin.
I also have been asked when I am going to get around to other quests, like world Quests and things like that but the answer is... Genshin just won't calm down, the updates feel like they come at us hot and heavy so we don't often have crazy down time but I feel like we will coming soon and maybe I can throw in some other quests here or there!
I am still loving Genshin and am currently leveling Columbina and should have her available to use for this weeks Genshin stuff, I haven't put her on a Team but currently I have her artifacts, she is fully leveled but I just need to work on her talents and Weapon! I am actually buzzing, there is an excitement to using a new character and Columbina is no different. She is one of my favourite characters on an emotional level but the way she moves on the field is gonna be such a different vibe from any other character.
Also I am thinking of doing compilations of Archon Quests and other Quests in one Video, my Genshin series is GIGANTIC, so allowing people to watch the full Mond Archon Quest would be so beneficial for people not wanting to sift through 300 Genshin episodes. A Fairytail Anime fan sees my series and says "Wow thats long". I feel like it would allow someone to catch up on the main quest who just want to see the main quest and allow people who want to see the world quests, see just the world quests. It might be tricky but it could work!
SPIRIT OF JUSTICE
I adore this game and it seems we are heading towards the Finale closer and closer especially since the reveals are getting crazier. I think we might have only two episodes this week as we might just do a BIG FINALE if we are close to the end, if not then it will be 3 as normal.
Honestly this series will get into the 50s in terms of parts and it doesn't feel like it at all and that makes me so happy to have a game that flies by like its NOTHING. I really adore the characters , the world, I love how they are not shying away from doing stuff that is painful and brutal. Ace Attorney has always allowed us to see a world that is beautiful but BRUTAL but this time around it takes to another level. I am not someone who loves dark stories, for darkness sake. I love that there is a beauty beneath the pain.
I am grateful for the time we have had with this game and its not over yet but if it does end this week, thank you for coming along with me :) Its a game I could never forget, so full of amazing characters and beautiful music with more twists than a roundabout.
FULL STEAM AHEAD ATTORNEYS
PORTAL 2
This has been such a new eyeopening time for me, its something that I never thought I could do which is play a Puzzle game (which sounds silly but i do get self conscious about Puzzle games on youtube) but it turns out its been such a fantastic time for me. We are 9 hours in right now and I am not sure where this ends but I will say that I am not leaving the world of Valve behind. I want to play the Half Life Games
I don't have a lot to say other than an update to last time, the audience in a percentage can be really mean but the latest published episode made me feel much better, I think I did well and still there were complaints so it feels like its a franchise where I will get complaints no matter what so I have to just focus on YOU and the other people who have been so nice about it and have wanted me to see everything that they love about these games.
Its such a smooth experience that offers an interesting way to tell us a story, with environments that are so fun to explore and decipher, voice acting that is so good and insightful even when funny and Puzzles that make you feel good when you succeed and the friction when you fail also still feels good. Its just a masterpiece, I love this game and I can't wait to see what else valve has to offer!
More Portal coming this week!
Games on Roamers Radar
Your Turn to Die will be tried out after ace Attorney and then possibly Clair Obscur
Half life or Black Mesa will come after Portal 2
Inscryption of course still on the Radar
I also want to play Earthbound because I dunno I have an Itch lmao but I am not sure if that would work
Update on Q&A and Community Video
I am looking into ways into making this better or Scrapping it to do something else for the channel. I was thinking of changing it to a conversational thing where I let people give their thoughts on anything on the channel that month? Like bringing back the Aftershow for a lower tier ? While still keeping the community video for the higher tiers for people that want to say what they have been up to.
The After show is a video where we would talk about the stuff that happened that month in the games briefly and then you guys can give your opinions on stuff too like "I think Anaxa is gorgeous and based" and then I read it out in that video and it becomes more of a discussion on the games and stuff rather than just asking Questions to me.
The reason I find the Q&A doesn't work is that I feel like when someone wants to ask a question they either DM me or post a comment and they just get an answer so really why post a Question when I answer peoples Questions all month anyway, which is so understandable. I love the Approachable nature of the channel tbh.

with how much I do this can seem scary but I want to just start doing more short 10 minute opinion based videos, if there is a news story or anything video game related I want to talk about OR videos like the 5 Star picker I did in Honkai. Fun stuff like that
Zelda Anniversary
So this won't be a long post but I feel like a series that is so Important to the channel is something to talk about even briefly. The reason the end video is still Zelda is because I will always in debt to this game series. Its the game series that made the channel what it was, taught me how to be a lets player. It was the franchise where I cried for the first time on the channel and helped me get better at being myself in videos. Helped me properly express my emotions. I have mentioned it before but I feel like my Twilight Princess and Ocarina of time Playthroughs are not good, the first ones I mean as I was not always myself, It was myself while also trying to be rude and mean because I thought thats what a series should be on youtube when really people just wanted me to be myself. So I always wish I could go back and play them for the first time again. Someone even commented recently that it was like night and day watching seeing how far I came along.
It was the series that gave me an audience for the first time and I wonder if I would still be doing this if people did not find me through Zelda years and years ago. So As we are just past the 40th anniversary, I wanted to just express how much I adore this franchise and how grateful I am!
THANKS FOR BEING THE COOLEST AND THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. So excited for the rest of this month and beyond on the channel
