Of all things I had forgotten to mention, it was the accomplishment of hitting 100 episodes of the podcast this year. We did, of course, reflect on the inclusion of my friend Joey, who goes by the name of HeirApparent310 on Twitch. This was also the year where I got to enjoy an increasing amount of collaboration with the late Shamus Young, whose absence is still greatly missed by me. In many ways, his passing certainly contributed to my depression of the latter half of the year, in addition to the mentioned health issues mentioned in the podcast. However, I also believe it has certainly helped to encourage me to find my own voice and direction, and to do the work I think I will be best at.

I’ll be busy trying to put together a number of things for January. I’m certainly working on a video for that month, as it will be the tenth year anniversary of the RamblePak64 YouTube channel, and therefore the RamblePak64 brand or identity. It kind of works as both, as I’ve come to enjoy hearing people refer to me as “Ramble”, as odd as it may sound. I also plan to write up a look at my own personal gaming 2022 in review for January, just as I had done at the start of this year. I was really proud of those posts, and it helped me figure out ways in which I could try and keep working on this blog.

However, I think it is sufficient to say that my primary priorities going into 2023 will be the YouTube channel, followed by the podcast. The blog and Twitch will be things I get to when I can, but I think my best work is honestly in video format, and I’d like to adjust my own efforts to better take this into account. We’ll see how things shake up, though.

Thank you for all that have continued following along in 2022, and in the event that this is my last post of the year, I hope to see you in 2023.
