Farewell 2022, Here's the 2023 Plans!
Added 2022-12-26 04:24:24 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas/Holiday! For this post I wanted to talk about 2023 plans for my content, will all of it happen? Probably? Everyone makes resolutions, and mine are video games I will stream for you I guess!
So 2022 was mixed or bad for me. A lot of stressful moments, setbacks, personal crisis etc. It wasn't great. What saved me was my friends, the streams we did together, and of course you guys. Whether you pledged here, supported my exit from GBPodcasts, subbed on Twitch, or made a piece of fanart. This kept me sane, and I have high hopes for 2023.
So first up, we're starting 2023 pretty strong I think. I've ordered a new PC that should (hopefully!) work perfectly and is a decent upgrade leading to better quality streams! I also got a new piece of audio tech coming because a key part of my setup (DBX) ended up slowly dying this week. So I'm excited to bring better streams/videos to you in 2023.
Enough rambling here are the games/plans for 2023
- The Ratchet and Clank Marathon - A stream goal for the new PC we hit this month will be starting next month with the Ratchet marathon. I'll be playing all the nine mainline entries (The PS2 quadrilogy, the Future trilogy Into the Nexus and Rift Apart). Naturally these will be deathstreams like how Sonic was.
- Metal Gear Solid 1-4 & Rising - These (with the exception of Rising) will be solo-streams where I experience the games for the first time. I have no set time when I plan on doing these, it could happen at any time in 2023. I am putting this here as an assurance that I did not forget about doing these.
- The conclusion of the FF Franchise Streams - In 2020 to help fund my PS5 I made a stream goal for the mainline FFs (SP) up to X-2. To celebrate the release of FFXVI, the first new mainline FF world since 2006 I will be playing all the mainlines and a couple spinoffs before June of 2016. This means XII, XIII, its sequels, XV, and even stuff like Type-0, Tactics, and perhaps WoFF. Please be excited.
- Some sort of Zelda Marathon? - Modeling this off of the KH Marathons in a way I'll be doing some manner of stream goal in 2023 for a Zelda marathon. I would be focusing on the selection of mainline games to stream before Tears of the Kingdom comes out in May. We'll see, this is the shakiest of my 2023 plans.
- Viewer Voted Marathon? - I'm gonna curate a list of marathon based on various franchises I'm interested in streaming and if we hit a stream goal for it I will run a poll and the winner will get it. Pokemon and Kirby are on the shortlist so far.
- Other Major Games - We of course how newer games to stream and a lot of them drop in 2023. Some I plan on streaming include: Forspoken, Fire Emblem Engage, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, Jedi Survivor, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Final Fantasy XVI, Street Fighter 6 and more! And this is just what wehave confirmed dates on.
- The Weekly Jam - We're hopefully getting back to this sooner rather than later. Delays happened due to me being sick and then co-hosts schedules being bad. I make almost 0 dollars on this show so I consider a fun passion project so I'm willing to delay it to avoid the co-hosts considering it to be a slog on top of their schedules. Rest assured more will come as happen as things open up.
- Podcasts Maybe? - Podcasts were my bread and butter from the end of 2018 up until halfway into 2022. I may bring aspects of that back through spoilercasts with friends and maybe something on gaming news that I do on stream once a week. Certainly won't be as strict and consistent as the GBPodcast stuff I would do but I have some desires to do something that fits my schedule.
So to close things out, I have a lot in the tank for 2023. A lot of games not even covered here as I spontaneously come up with new stuff to do, stream goals will be forged as we need them, and bad ideas are executed on. Thanks for your support in 2022 and I hope you stick with me for more.
