Well, that’s
the first half of the year over and done with. How’s it been treating you? Well,
I hope. For it has been treating me (in relation to this blog of course,
because that’s why you’re here), it’s been treating me quite well.
Take the
numbers; I started this year finally hitting that goal I set for myself way
back in 2020 when I started this adventure: always have at least 1000 readers a
day. Since May this blog is doing double that: 2000 readers a day. This little
writing space is growing and at a pace I didn’t expect. I mean, it took me 6
years to hit that 1000 reader goal and then I doubled that in about 8 months. A
little voice in me still worries that some change to the algorithm will come
along sooner rather than later and set me back again, but for now, I’m very
happy to see more and more people finding and (hopefully) enjoying this writing
space of mine. If you do, by all means drop a comment. It’s where that section
is for after all.
Any particular
post from the last 6 months that stands out to me? Well, when talking about the
reviews the first that comes up is the one on Ghost of Yōtei. That was a game I
hesitantly bought only for it to become my 2nd Platinum. I spent
more time than usual on writing that review because of how much I ended up
falling in love with it… only for Google’s algorithm to throw me a curveball.
It flagged it due to ‘mature content’. One of the images I used was that of
Atsu staring down the Undying Samurai before their duel. For some reason,
Google thought it was a ‘naughty’ image and restricted my review because of
that. Of course, it took me half a day to figure that out but hey: the review
is up and I got a neat little anecdote out of it.
Now, time
to look to the future. For the immediate future I have reviews planned for
Pokémon Black & White and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Both are written
but just need to go through the proofreading and editing stages. The former is
going to take a while longer. A very nice commenter pointed out that my 3D Mario Ranking still had quite a few grammar and spelling mistakes even after 2
rounds of proofreading. So, from now on, I’ll proofread every post 3 times. Let
that be the next step in growing this blog.
After that,
a review on the 2nd season of Netflix’s Avatar perhaps? It’s out now
and while that release snuck up on me, I’m still interested in it. Plus, I’ve
only barely begun Metroid Prime 4. I don’t know if I’ll have a review ready in
time for that one. I’m also working on a ranking of all the Fire Emblem games I’ve
played over the years. A little something to celebrate the release of Fire
Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. A game I do plan on getting, and thus reviewing, for
the record.
As always, thank you for your continued reading!

Love your gaming-movie mashup! Chikorita’s my vibe too. Check [Eyes Never Wake]( https://eyesneverwake.com/ ) for more inspo—keep rocking it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! As you´ve read, I´ve been toying with more movie content. Starting with video game movies is a good way to expand my niche without alienating my gaming focused readers.
DeleteThank you for the Avatar Game Review! Started picking it up after years and found the review quite representative of the game! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteThank you but could you tell me about which Avatar game you are talking about? I reviewed more than one after all.
