Congratulations on 30K and well deserved! I love your channel.
Thank you 😊
Yeah streaming games is not for everyone. I would much rather play alone or with friends on the tv or online play.
Yeah agreed. I rather play games alone.
It's also not a great feeling to wait around for engagement and get nothing but silence. Playing alone at least eliminates that stressor and allows you to relax.
I’d rather play alone too.
Been here since 1K, amazing to see your climb and extremely well deserved. Look forward to the 100K Q&A
Thank you for all the support. And 100K... let's see haha
Congrats on the growth and hitting 30k!!! Definitely well deserved! Here’s to the next 30K!!
Congrats on 30k! Great channel for the hobby
Congrats on 30k. I find your channel very relaxing and chilling. Looking forward to seeing more 😊😊😊
Cool Tunic shirt. Congrats on your milestone. You rock. Keep on doing what you do. 😄
Wow, 30k! I remember following you when you had a few thousand subscribers. Congrats, and here is to another 30k and beyond!
Congrats on 30k!
Im sure that a lot of time has gone into all of the videos youve done this past two years - and just know that we're all appreciative of it.
Great answer on the streaming front. It's not for everyone and not always just for anxiety reasons - but also for personal enjoyment reasons. I for one am not sure i could get the same level of enjoyment from a game i was playing if i had to talk and make sure those watching were also enjoying it.
Congrats again on 30K, definitely do a part two for an Q and A always cool to hear new opinions on games
Its crazy seeing you get to 30K! I think I first started following your channel when you made your 2022 edition of your handheld collection video. Always really liked your channel
Congratulations on 30K! Keep up the great work! 💯
Thank you! :)
Congratulations on 30k! And it’s always fun to learn a little more about the person behind the channel! And you should definitely be proud of yourself, I think I started watching your videos since around the 5k mark and I think the difference in your demeanor, confidence and cadence is awesome! 😊 keep up the great work
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words!
I remember seeing your videos for the first time and being shocked noticing that you only had a couple thousand subs. I still think you're severely underrated and I look forward to seeing future content and growth from you :)
Congrats on 30K! I'm very glad that I found your channel. I know youtube is very saturated with game content, but I feel like I can really relate to your content as I really got into gaming when I finished grad school and finally had more time for hobbies after spending a lot of time on my studies. I got into collecting back in 2016 or so when I bought my first SNES. From there I just fell down the hole of JRPGS. While a lot of the content remains on my backlog (it's hard to find time for gaming while working in academia), I'm always excited to hear other fans share their experiences and their collections. Also it's super nice to watch videos from other women who are interested in JRPGS. Most of the channels I follow are of men, and while their content is nice, it's refreshing to have a different perspective. I hope you continue to make videos for a long time. :D
Your humble beginnings and all the hard work you’ve done for yourself while still growing yourself both personally and professionally is incredibly inspiring. Fantastic video as usual!
Congratulations on 30K Emily!🎉😊 Awesome collection & luv your channel!😊❤
Congratulations on 30k! I always love your videos. They're always so chill and really put me in a good mood. You deserve all your success and followers!
Congrats on 30k and thanks for doing this Q&A! I love hearing the perspectives of other hobbyists!
Congratulations on 30K, Emily! Hopefully that number will grow bigger with all the good stuff you've been putting out! 🤩
Congratulations on 30K and well deserved!
Congrats on 30k! Your content is relaxing and great to wind down to. Keep it up!
So happy for you, it’s been amazing to see your growth. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, I appreciate your support 😄
I would love a part 2💚 I enjoy your videos too much💚 Congratulations on your subscribers 🎉🎉🎉
Yay, Dark Cloud shoutout! 😊
Congrats on 30k! Your channels grown so fast since I first started. I'm happy appreciate how great your content is! Good luck for 50k!
Dark Cloud is great! And thank you so much :)
Very welcome! 😊
& should be *happy/appreciate* (derp 🙈)
Congratulations! To be honest, you are a big reason I began seeing collecting games and figured as something that can be more about highlighting favourite series and genres (JRPGs and VNs🥰) and less about hoarding every last title and keeping them in shrink wrap😅. Thank you. For helping us see the practical and gaming centric side of collecting and making this a fun place to talk about games/collecting.
I'm glad I was able to offer a different perspective on what I think is the fun side of collecting ☺️
Thanks for answering my question, Emily. Future Redeemed was indeed a fantastic game and I also really liked the Alabasta arc in One Piece.
Definitely hope you do a part 2 video someday!
congrats emily on 30K i would love to see part 2 Q&A Special really love part 1
Yes do a part two.
That is awesome Famtrooper asked you a question. I found you two on the same day back in January.
Congratz on 30k!!!
Nice T-Shirt btw!
Great video and congratulations on 30K. Your videos are always a breath of fresh air in the CZcams world!
Congratulations on 30K. I just found this channel and between this channel and My Life in Gaming yt channel I feel like I'm in the coziest corner of the internet! Thank you!
Thank you for the high praise!
Seeing your personality shine more in these episodes has been great!
Congratulations on hitting 30K Emily, much deserved and rightfully earned! Your videos always have a relaxing and calm aura and I'm happy to be one of the many subs. Sorry if my question was a bit similar to a past one, I'm bad asking the questions. Either way I would love to see a part 2!
So Happy you hit 30k you deserve it , you’re a queen
DO NOT FEEL BAD if you can't upload anything. I really like your thought out videos with great ideas and responses. Keep at it! As long as we know you're doing okay, that's all we need! Great job Emily!
Emily, your videos have helped me so much to rekindle some of what I've figured out I had lost internally when it came to my enthusiasm for just gaming in general AND well, just doing life. Taken a lot of inspiration from them! Your positivity is such a nice change from so many CZcamsrs in the gaming segment. Congratulations on 30K!
I spend a lot of time on Tubi in the K-drama section. And if you haven't seen it yet, all the episodes Listening Snow Tower (with subs) is on CZcams complete. It's maybe one of my favorite shows ever, if you haven't seen it.
Oh that's one I haven't seen, thanks for the rec!!
congrats on 30k! just came across your video and subscribed! really liked your take on consoles you regret buying, it was really helpful when making purchase decisions.
Congrats on 30k Emily! Thanks for all the great content 😊
Thanks for answering my question and all the others. Congrats again on 30k! 🎉
Congratulations on 30K subscibers! ❤ Super proud of how far you've come already.
Congrats on hitting 30K. I think I subscribed when you had 2K. Really enjoy your content and find it calm and relaxing without any pandering. Love that. It takes hard work and dedication to achieve what you've done here. What has been the hardest part of reaching this milestone for you?
Thank you! I'm not sure about the hardest part. Maybe time management and balancing everything 😅
Thank you so much for answering my question, I asked the last one about One Piece, congratulations for the 30K subscribers!!
Oh wow, Celso here, so glad you chose my question and thanks for the thorough answer! Congrats again on the 30k, and I look forward to continue watching you here for as long as you are enjoying creating content. Thake care :)
Can't stop watching her content. Very informational and enjoyable. Congrats!
A little late to comment, but thank you for featuring my question as your first question presented, Emily! I really appreciate your well-detailed response, which sounds like it would make for a very intriguing game! And you put the video out on my birthday as well! What a wonderful gift! ^_^
Fantastic video. Looking forward to part 2
Congrats on all the success & happy to see the continued growth! Your vids have turned me onto some great games, doubt I would have ever given the trails series a shot if not for your vids! I’m sure the next milestone will come even sooner than you might think :)
I'm so glad you gave Trails a try, and went down the 'peak' rabbit hole 😂 And thank you for your continued support ☺️
Congratulations 🎉 I'm really happy for you! So great I've discovered your amazing channel! You are the first person I've heard mentioning the cartridge revisions on the switch, and your videos about tracking/managing your spending were amazing and in general all your contents are super interesting and entertaining for game collectors like me (I also loved your videos where you rearrange your shelf ,gives a lot of inspiration). Nice to know your are also a postdoc ☺️ wish you good luck for everything! and see you in the next video (if there will be a part 2 of the Q&A would be very nice 😊)
I've been seeing a lot of requests for a part 2, so I'll start working on that :)
Oh that's great! Look forward to it 😊@@orbalology
Congrats on 30K!
Congrats again on the milestone, and thank you for taking the time to answer questions. Since you mentioned that you haven't gotten into too many "Tales of..." games, I liked Tales of Vesperia, and I think that got a re-release on the major consoles and probably isn't too expensive. Anyway... onward to 40k!
Oh I have this in the switch! I was torn between this and Tales of Berseria to play after Abyss.
Congratulations on 30K subscribers! 🎉
It looks like soon another 40k Q&A will be required :D Great video!
Well deserved love your channel Emily!
Congratulations. Almost at 33k in less than 2 weeks. Awesome.
Congrats on getting to 30k subs and here's to the next 30k, 50k, 100k and more! Also love hearing about your other collection habbits. I also like kpop and have a small collection of CDs. It would probably be bigger but my game collection is priorty number 1 😅.
Oh yeah I've had to downsize my Kpop collection greatly to just a few groups now. It was starting to get out of hand & taking up way too much of my hobby funds and space 😅
Congrats. Its very awesome. Love your tunic shirt. Doing life and making time for videos can be difficult sometimes. Great video. Making youtube videos is so much fun. As a child i played rocket knight adventures for the genesis a lot lot. As soon as LRG announced it was coming back as a collection. I was so happy and so excited. I ordered it for switch and ps5. I wanted to share that memory and my excitement for it 😊.
I'm glad to hear LRG was able to bring back a childhood favorite for you!
@@orbalology Thanks. Me too
Love the T-Shirt 😊
Congrats on 30k! Love you channel so much, honestly your a breath of fresh air for a gaming channel and unique video's you make.
Thank you kindly ^^
Congrats on 30k!
Localization to anxiously await: Dragon Quest X !
Oh yes!! Would love to see the official offline version at least localized over here too!
Wow didn't know you were from Cali. REPRESENT!!! Going to on a Cruise to Vancouver too this summer, planning on revisiting some 3DS games while on board!
Congrats! Love the Tunic shirt :)
Loved this! Please do a part 2❤
Congrats on 30k and cool Q&A! I got Tunic after seeing it in one of your pickup videos and like it, so cool shirt 😎
Glad to hear you enjoyed Tunic!
I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
A big Congratulations on the 30k subs! You def deserve it. Hard work pays off. It's been awesome watching your channel's growth and being apart of this community you've built. Also, it'd be cool if Naughty Dogg would revive Jak and Daxter. So many of their last few games have been so serious. It'd be cool to see them take on a platformer again.The turn around time on development wouldn't be as long either.
Side note, I've found my Switch collection has doubled since I started watching.
I really miss the unserious humor from the Jak games! If they don't go back to Jak maybe a new mascot IP would be great from them.
Im loving the Q&A and I hope you're able to do a part two 🎉
Really enjoying these candid commentarys
Congrats on 30k subs, Emily! You'll reach 40k in no time, your channel has grown so fast! 🎉
Thank you! 😊
Congrats again on the 30k, and thanks for answering the questions! Really interesting that you credit A Link Between Worlds for sparking your collecting! Thanks for sharing!!
ALBW will always have a special connection to me, along with the 3DS :)
I've never been a huge Zelda person but I should give it a shot haha. The 3DS is such an incredible console so I definitely can relate there.
I really need to get back into link between worlds, such a good game. I’m playing ocarina of time right now and I miss the old Zelda structure. Great vid!
Yes! ALBW is really fantastic. Ocarina of Time is as well so enjoy your playthrough!
You’re awesome. I’m really glad I found your channel.
I’d love to see you livestream because it would be a nice opportunity to interact with you in real time but I totally get that gaming time to be something used for relaxation and decompressing. Regardless of what you decide to do, I’ll continue to support your content. :)
I don’t know how I managed to miss that you were holding a Q&A. I hope to catch the next one.
Congrats on the 30k! It almost feels like yesterday when I found your channel randomly promoted to me.
Sky pirates forever! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
🏴☠️🦜
Great video! Thanks for including my question! :D
Congrats! I love how your phone case matched your shirt in this video :)
Hehe, it's my favorite shade of green! 💚
Congrats on 30k! You can upload anytime you are able and feel like it, we'll be here to watch :)
P.S. You'd be a really cool sky pirate!
Ending with my favorite topic! One Piece! 😁 loved the video! Also when you do start 999, (not sure if I have mentioned this before) but definitely play the DS version off 999. Best way to experience it. Have a great one Emily!
I've been convinced by a few to try to play the DS version for 999. May have to track it down by alternative means 😅
You deserve it !
Love these videos!! Thank you!!
Thanks! Glad to hear you like them :)
I had to pause the video to see your collection lol. You got a lot of cool stuff.
Congrats on reaching 30K subscribers and getting your PhD!!! As a former graduate student, grad school comes with its own worries and stresses but is worth it. I wish Naughty Dog would make another Jak & Daxter game too. Awesome TUNIC shirt!
I'll be going to AX for the first time this year. Looking forward to it.
Congrats and thank you for making contents for us. I just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed your reaction to Nintendo Direct videos. I think you did it once or twice but I thought they were enjoyable and kind of missed them. From what I can tell, maybe they are a bit easier to create/edit as far as contents goes?
I can try to do more reactions. I didn't do one for the last Nintendo partner direct because of time & I suspected there wouldn't be much. But I'll see if I can do one that showcases the next Nintendo console at least :)
Hi Emily, thanks for taking the time for the Q&A, I enjoyed it. Your list of “to be played” games was interesting, most of them are on mine too. The exception is GoW 2018 which I played last year and thoroughly enjoyed. It’s a great game and I think you’ll enjoy it - there’s a lot to like.
As for streaming lets plays, I understand your concerns but I think they may be unnecessary. You don’t have to be a great entertainer, some of my favourite streamers are very laid back and I actually find the more excitable ones off-putting. People will come for your personality and opinions and if you’re not so outgoing that’s fine. If you advertise it on this channel you’re almost guaranteed a friendly and supportive audience. Chat will carry you through any slow periods 😄. You’ll never know if you don’t try 🤷🏻♂️. My only problem is that I’m in the UK so I’d be unlikely to catch you live unless you’re suffering from insomnia 😄
Would love a part 2 of this video!
Your voice is so beautiful, very calming.
Link between worlds was such a great time. I should play that again this year.
I'm due for a replay as well!!
Congrats on reaching 30K! 😁
Thank you!
i dream to have a collection like yours!.Super interesting video!
Thank you, and thanks for watchin :)
Keep up the good work Emily!
Great vid nice to come back after a crappy dr appointment to a positive video so great vid thanks for fixing my bad day
Glad I could brighten up your day at least a little bit!
Yes, s/o to FF13 on the 360. Played that on the 3 discs back in high school. I played the first disc like 3 times and never finished it lol
I remember I tried streaming twice, it just wasn’t for me 🤣 I’m dead focused and rarely even talk while gaming, but I would be down to try watching you stream :)
Haha, hopefully when I dig up the courage to stream it'll not be too boring 😅
I done some streaming but i struggle with engagement and sounding interesting thats why i prefer youtube and if i am goint to stream i end just enjoying the game normally Congratulations on 30K
Love the Tunic shirt; one of the best games of the last decade. 😁
I think you can figure we'd love to see a part 2, it's just fun to hear your thoughts on stuff
Haha, I consider myself a bit boring, so wasn't too sure how much more of these Q&As you all would want to sit through 😅
@@orbalology oh if it was an hour plus then no question it'd be watched all the way
Love the idea of a Skies of Arcadia reboot! It is so obscenely expensive on both the DC and Gamecube. Great video, Emily and congrats! 🎉
Hopefully a reboot/remaster will happen 🤞
Struggle of backlog getting bigger with new releases. I am basically limiting myself to must play new releases at 50 bucks. Release dates don't matter but for the rare titles that need a preorder (Elden Ring Collectors Edition, GTA VI, Zelda).
Most people who collect will have more games than time to play.
the TUNIC shirt is top tier!
