July 2026 Update + Q&A: Leg Edition
Hello everyone, I hope you're as well as you can be!
It's been a while since I posted any update, and I figured now would be a good time to fix that given that... well, a LOT has happened since the last update. The main thing being the reason why I haven't posted an update sooner, and it's also something that's going to influence how the next video pans out.
To cut to the chase: I suffered in a traffic accident recently. People who have been following me on BlueSky know this happened, but for everyone else & to give more detail: I was driving my motorcycle to get groceries, and someone in a car didn't look where they were merging and rammed into me twice. On the second hit, they sent my motorcycle off-course and shaking and I fell. They fled the scene while I laid in the middle of the road with a shattered and exposed tibia/fibula on my left leg, and a couple of people stopped to provide support until the medics could arrive. Which took an hour because all of the ambulances were busy, my insurance refused to send one out, and only two firefighter units were out on a GODDAMNED SATURDAY.
Not exactly the nicest thing to have happen, and the recovery period has been utterly exhausting. The little energy I had during the hospital stay was mostly spent on helping my husband and friends get an investigation started into the incident, as well as dealing with my motorcycle insurance. The period out of the hospital has been a little bit smoother at least, and by the good graces of God, I've already started to be able to walk again just two weeks after the incident.
To say I've been exhausted and devastated is putting it lightly. It's been a hard tug of war since I left the hospital between wanting to do a million normal things but being unable due to my limited mobility, and wanting to do absolutely nothing because I'm too tired to despite sleeping 12 hours a day. I guess bones need a lot of nap time. I am at least extremely thankful that I have an almost superhuman ability to recover from injuries, because my recovery is going way quicker than anyone expected.
But because of all this, I haven't been getting any work done. It's not for a lack of desire, it's just that I literally have not had the ability to focus on anything for more than an hour or two without needing to rest. Heck, I haven't even been able to sit for more than an hour without starting to feel pain until yesterday for that matter. I'm sorry for the lack of updates and videos, but I hope it's understandable. That said, given the rate of my recovery, I intend to get back to work around the 20th or so.
So, what is the plan for the next video?
MORE JAPANESE 3DO GAMES FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE: I've been teasing this for too long, and what better time to deliver on a goofy upbeat video idea than when I'm recovering from an extremely depressing and exhausting incident?Like last time, my plan is to go digging through the entirety of the Japanese 3DO library and pick out some truly mysterious games. Some of them will be titles that got translated into English after my last video, some of them will be bizarre games that made it overseas and were completely forgotten, and yet others will be Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The 3DO is truly full of wonders.
I don't have any particular estimate for when this video will be done; my plan was to do the bulk of the work this month since I don't have school until the end of it, but the whole "my leg got broken" thing derailed all of my plans. But rest assured, there will be more 3DO action coming to this channel as a nice little treat after all the heavy stuff I've been covering as of late. Like I genuinely think the Ima video ate a part of my psyche that's just now starting to come back, that was a lot to take in.
THE LIST: I am once again open to hearing more viewer suggestions! Just bare in mind that, because of the fact that school is still going on and it's looking likely that I'll get into uni next year, longer titles are off the cards for the foreseeable future, at least until I know what my university workload is like and if I'll be able to juggle larger projects and uni simultaneously. Never the less, feel free to drop your hot 1~10 hour long recs in the comments. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WF_2ADCa5UY63yygiElEyGr35UPCf-jfGivuHAeaiqs/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Similarly, please feel free to leave me questions for the next Q&A; there haven't been too many lately but I always have fun responding to what y'all want to hear about.
Until next time. o/
