With my image/video search rant out of the way, there was something I wanted to share that's important to me. I can now say with full confidence that -- before the summer -- you're going to see Rogueport Media form into the LLC we've been talking about since the end of January. Now the important part. To my clients, some of you have been wondering why I haven't been able to take on your work *so far* this year.

Well, to answer your questions: yes, the reason why is because I'm going to be transitioning all of my work to be underneath the LLC once it is formed. (This probably won't come as a surprise to you.)

both of our parts. Again, this email will have all the details on what you'll need to do when the time comes. In the meantime, I'd like to thank you so much for your patience and support as we get the paperwork ready for this. I know some of you have been pushing me privately for years to do this, and I'm grateful to have a friend and business partner in @Tigstahh@mastodon.social to do it with. We're looking forward to sharing the final announcement in the coming weeks.

Okay, there *were* two videos in there that I was looking for, and I do understand why it couldn’t find those. But my argument still stands. Search is fundamentally broken everywhere else. I think we’re focused on the wrong technological advancements right now, honestly.

ALSO, @Tigstahh@mastodon.social and I are excited to share we're standardizing our video productions on 4K at 60fps. We're matching our equipment so everything looks crystal clear. If you saw my test stream a couple weeks ago, I actually recorded that at 4K60 as a way to test my ability to capture at that rate. (It worked!) This is going to be fun! If there's anyone I get to share this adventure with, I'm glad it's Tyson. So excited to found Rogueport Media with you very soon 💙

Me: "Well, the water here does have some weird stuff in it that you kind of have to adjust to." My little brother: "Yeah, I noticed." Me: "Wait how? You've never been to Ohio?" My little brother: "Your closet was comfy. Bye!" Me: "WHAT?!" My little brother: *hangs up*

Wrote the phrase "I basically live in my email inbox these days" to someone, and then had the dumb idea to go check how many emails I've sent the past two weeks. 10,704. Please send help, my fingers hurt.

Thanks for hanging out on Twitch with me while I tested my capture card and yapped about Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream & the next Nintendo Direct. Happy to report that everything's working great! I'll have the VOD available to watch in the next few days. :D

I have to go into work early tomorrow around 3am, and the Tomodachi Life Direct is at 9am near the time I get out, so I guess that means an all-nighter for me? I might make a very poor decision in a couple of hours, everybody hold on!

Yeah it's true, @Tigstahh@mastodon.social and I have been pretty quiet on @kakarikoherald@mastodon.social. Truth is, we've been keeping something pretty huge from you. Tyson and I are filing to become an LLC this year! From a Tumblr blog started in 2018 to now, we wouldn't be here if it weren't for our friends and family who have supported us from the beginning, and to folks in the industry like André Segers and Jeff Grubb for inspiring KH's creation in the first place!

The company will publish @kakarikoherald@mastodon.social, Nerd In Sight, and will go on to house my consultancy and contract work for various businesses (which I've been doing since I graduated high school in 2021). We'll have more to share on this incredibly soon! A lot goes into this, and we're pretty much there besides needing to cross a few more T's and dot a few more I's! Oh, and P.S. another thing's happening later this year that's truly going to surprise you! But we'll talk about that later... (2/3)

Speculation but: I’m pretty worried about them not including same-sex relationships in the new Tomodachi Life game for Switch. At some point, Nintendo of America erased the statement they had made making said commitment to putting them in the next entry from their website. Not sure when that happened, not sure if it was done in error, but it’s gone now. Only the version on the Internet Archive survives. Really hope they make a mention of it on Thursday during the Direct.

in case anyone else wants to nerd out, the BBC have some Classic Doctor Who episodes on YouTube now. the show’s effects haven’t aged quite as gracefully as you’d imagine, especially when you look at Third Doctor’s early era, but they aren’t terrible and the stories still hold up surprisingly well!
