And now for something different.

Oh man, that whole video thing. It's become a bit of a drag, I think. On the one hand, I really enjoy the writing/presentation aspect of it, but I really dislike how laborious and time consuming the process is. And I feel like it turns every game I'm playing into a project of some kind when sometimes I Just want to zone out and have fun. These statements are a tad hypocritical I guess, since my rate of video production has slowed dramatically. But still. That's why.

So what am I going to do now? Am I done with videos forever? I don't know. There's a chance I'll do them again, but it's not something I feel like prioritizing right now. I'm still playing a lot of games and I do want to talk about them, but probably in a much more casual way for the immediate future. I'm feeling like making changes in life in general, recently. Y'know, things like eating habits, fitness, outlook, stuff like that. And saving more money so I can eventually afford video games. (I still don't have a Switch.)

But you know, on the other hand, I do miss blogging. Ever since I started doing the video thing (and even sometime before that), this blog ceased being a repository of my thoughts and whims. I'm not saying I'm going to be starting a daily blogging exercise like I did a few years ago (or maybe I am?) but I do have some interest in dropping casual thoughts on stuff that's going on in my life and of course games that I'm playing.

I felt at one point that I needed to legitimize this blog by resorting to posting only "article worthy" entries with full-length reviews. That gradually evolved into making videos and the blog for a time just because a collection of links to those videos with no articles whatsoever. I don't know. I can't do it all. There's not a lot I can do in general!

So, what am I going to be talking about for the future of this blog? How often will I be updating it? Well, to be honest, I'm not sure. I'm feeling immensely directionless in my life lately and I am in dire need of structure. It would makes sense, then, to resume daily blogging, but I'm not certain I necessarily have it in me. The problem I frequently ran into in the days that I did that was a tendency to "phone it in" on days I wasn't particularly feeling it. At the same time, forcing myself to write daily was creatively rewarding and really got my thoughts flowing. There are certainly pros and cons.

I originally planned to talk about some video game stuff today but I think I'll save it for next time. When that'll be, who knows. I'm operating without a plan today.
