    You're a legend and I'm so happy I found your gaming channel. Wish you all the best during the wild parts of your journey. Gaming and nostalgia is an incredible thing to share with family. I hope to never lose the joy of playing and talking about games. More I see CEX stores the more I wish we had them in the states 🇺🇸
    Also Metroid Dread is PHENOMENAL 🤩

    Such a shame you're leaving us... I actually work at a winery at Alentejo, plenty of that stuff here.
    The thing about the arcades really hits hard for me. Even in a small town in the middle of nowhere, we had two arcades here and In some cafes there were some as well. It's crazy the amount of stuff we had here to what we have now. Even the local movie theater is gone. Good times

    It's great to hear you've reconnected with gaming, I think it's a pretty valuable respite from the insanity going on over these last few years. I don't know what I'd do without them at this point, definitely got me through lockdown.
    But as a fellow American expat in Europe, I'm sorry to hear you're leaving. It was nice knowing you guys were close by. And a little surprising, given how insane and dangerous the USA is now, as you of all people know. You couldn't pay me to go back. After being here for a bit over a decade, I have to say I'd rather be average or even poor in Europe than making bank in America.
    Regardless I wish you and your family the best! Thank you for all the work that you do keeping us all informed. PS: If you're going to continue down the classic JRPG route, definitely check out Final Fantasy, especially X/X-2/XII! ✌

  • @alfwaibel4773
    @alfwaibel4773 Před 2 měsíci +1

    I love Portugal, coming from austria. Portuguese people are so busy, friendly, humble people, and the country is incredible. I like the climate with mild, rainy winters and not so hot summer (except of algarve area) and environment there, much more lovely than in spain. Also rich culture (going back to moors occupation time), very clean cities and absolutely stunning, cool places like Porto and Lisbon (with bridges like in San Francisco - because the same architect planned them), delicious, healthy food with a lot of vegetables with great taste and quality. Incredible oranges and wine! Not to forget Madeira and the absolutely paradise-like Acores, which belong to Portugal! A place for retirement. Me, looking at the calendar: Just 4.5 years to go... Not so far away.

  • @darealworld558

  • @Punisher_the_bot
    @Punisher_the_bot Před 2 měsíci +1

    Your story relates to mine when you were explaining, growing up in the 80s and working 15 years in a professional capacity. I grew up playing Atari and the first Nintendo. I missed out on most early consoles. I remember I had won a PS1 at a company Christmas party, and I hadn’t played for so long I didn’t know what to do with it. I had children and I took it out of storage brand new from the box in 1998 and got back into it. Later in 2016 I retired from my career and now I have PS4,PS5 and Xbox series X 😂 and I am loving it.

  • @ivantanev6059
    @ivantanev6059 Před 27 dny +1

    Hey Clayton, You are underestimating the PC games. You dont need to go that far back in time for good GRPGs either. I am exactly your age and I do love some new PC titles there - try both Subnautica games or The Witness ( Johnatan Blow's classic ). I also do have 3 kids much like you but I try not to play Fortnite with them due to violence which I try to keep as far away as possible - so instead we play ECO, A brilliant online game of economy and cooperation. Wish you good luck and lots of amazing hours playing and listening to good content,

  • @metaldiceman
    @metaldiceman Před 2 měsíci

    Going through radical life changes, and having to adapt to many things all simultaneously, can be stressful but also very rewarding in new experiences and growth. I think a lot of people are too conservatively minded and risk-averse to be willing to try radical new things. Props to you and your family for adapting. Video games really are a special media unlike all others in providing fun, competition, but also enrichment and even comfort in a new or foreign place. Best wishes

    It is a funny coincidence to me, that I discovered Redacted more or less at the same time as I started working for a Portuguese company. I am from Poland mind you and this direction is pretty rare for us I think. Been a gamer my whole life and have worked in the games industry ever since I finished my education. Love watching Redacted and this channel too. Peace!

    Awesome Clayton. Thanks for sharing your life's journey. Much respect for taking the road less traveled and having a more fulfilling experience, even if it was some extra work at times. You should check out Diablo 1 & 2 on PC. They're classics. You might really enjoy the grinding/exploring/leveling up aspect of the game with it's highly themed storylines. Play that game on a dark night with the rain going.

    I wouldn't even know what they would put in an arcade these days. Modern games are so expensive to develop, can they afford to charge only quarters? If I walked into an arcade today, I would asking where is the Bubble Bobble? That's what would be on my brain lol. Or maybe Donut Dodo as that's what I've been playing on the switch.
    Before that I was playing Full Quiet, which is billed as a twenty hour NES game. Easily a top 10 NES game if it had been released in the day.
