I’ve decided that, in order to try and find creative inspiration after nearly two years of barely any creative output, I need to take a nice and steady re-evaluation of the past. The best way of going about this, I feel, is probably introducing myself and give a brief-yet-detailed explanation of how things have come to be.
I’m rememberedoldbuddy, though this isn’t my real name. What is real about me is that I’m a 30 year old male residing in the United States. My greatest personal passion that has brought me joy for nearly all my life is Nintendo and everything involved with it. I have a massive and extensive collection of Nintendo hardware, software, and memorabilia that dates all the way back to the very founding of the company, and my collection has been featured on an international blog as part of a collector’s spot light, which has been the greatest amount of recognition I’ve received for my collection habits.
In the past, between 2012 and 2017, I performed an “internet puppet show” of sorts on different image board websites that centered around a sentient R.O.B. unit and a Game Boy unit that went on wholesome and funny adventures that centered around them playing video games. It’s purpose, aside from entertaining, was to rekindle the feelings and emotions they felt in actually enjoying video games before they became jaded by modern-day aspects about video games. With all the buzz about excessive DLC content nickel and diming players, the invasive and unwanted political themes and accusations of censorship, I felt that people needed to be reminded why we liked video games in the first place, and I did so from my perspective, using an accessory that was like my own personal mascot that represented why I personally liked video games. They enjoyed a fair sense of notoriety and popularity
However, image boards were not a perfect medium for these stories, and although my run between the image boards lasted for years, I became more and more disenfranchised over these sites and the people who primarily frequented them. As my personal life experiences grew, I found myself more and more at odds with the demographic I was performing fore that it wasn’t an enjoyable task Unfortunately, though, I had grown so accustomed to how I used image boards to tell these stories that I couldn’t imagine telling them any other way. As a result, my greatest creative project since becoming an adult suddenly stopped. Since then, I’ve longed to find another way to creatively express my passion for Nintendo and video games in general, but I don’t know how.
In the coming days, I hope to experiment with several different ways on how to do that. I want to start simple, then move on with something more elaborate when I’m confident. I welcome your feedback, questions, or just any comment whatsoever. I’ve always believed that people are at their very best when they talk about what they’re passionate about, and I’d love to have a conversation about Nintendo and video games in general.
Thanks for your time reading this. It is very much appreciated. I hope you have a good week and I hope you get to play lots of video games. Take care.
