February 2021 Report (Patreon)

Heyyy, one year of monthly reports! Not too shabby. And no, I definitely didn't almost forget about this one because of work. :')

As I've mentioned previously, updates in the near future may become less common, but I still have some stuff to talk about in this report!

Color TV Game 15 | Things of Interest 

In February, I released a Things of Interest video on Nintendo's Color TV Game 15! It ended up as a nice little look at a super old piece of Nintendo history and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't know if I'll ever take a look at more pre-video game era Nintendo things, but if the opportunity ever arises again, I'd love to do something like this again, since anything Nintendo seems to be fair game on this channel!

Other than this, there aren't a lot of additional things I can share about upcoming videos that I haven't already done so in the previous report. However, besides the two core videos I've mentioned before, there's now another thing in my collection that I am pretty excited to make a video on:

This is the HyperFlash 32, one of the most recent varieties of hand-made Virtual Boy flashcarts! I've been meaning to get my hands on one of these considering the scarcity of the Virtual Boy library and my interest in that system. (hence, the second VB core video in the works!) Due to the niche market, VB flashcarts are a bit more on the expensive side, but I figured this is still worth a look at for a video because of its uniqueness...

...the cart has a built-in e-ink display! As a flashcart, it definitely sets itself apart from the rest in a very intriguing way and is well worth a review. It would also allow me to talk more about the fledgling Virtual Boy scene by highlighting some noteworthy developments and homebrew software!

This should be the next immediate video on my schedule, but for now my mind is dead set on finishing up my graduation projects for the rest of the month. I don't know if I'll have anything further to talk about in a March report, but so far I'm doing fine, and thank you again for sticking with me! Pulling a short hiatus on YouTube (outside of event reactions) can be a small hit to ad revenue and whatnot, and while it's not a big deal to me right now, I still appreciate your support.

Well...maybe I can still find some time to put something out for April Fools if that's possible...

That'll happen when it happens. Until then, see you around!
