Farewell. (Read Article)

For those who don't read I will have a video version tomorrow probably.


I'll make this quick so I don't have to type much. I will be leaving behind my main channel and gamejolt and will be taking a break and leaving lots of communities until I feel ready again to start a new identity.

So, why the new identity?

As it stands, I feel super impassionate and unhappy with almost everything to do with my main Buster The Magician channel. Every time I tried to migrate the audience to something I was interested in, it didn't work. And also it has to do the internet being frustrating. Too many people act like the "knowitalldefinitivesayerwhosatotaljackassifyoudontagree", this doesn't have too much to do with me starting a new identity but still, its something that bothers me and I wanted to put it here.

I'm not gonna lie and say most of this experience has been negative, but if you ask anyone who is close to me they will tell you that I've wanted out of this pressure for around the last year. I honestly put so many venting messages into all of my work and it's clear absolutely nobody picked up on any of it.

So, what about the new identity?

To be honest. I still am not fully sure, hence why I said I'm taking that break to figure out things. But currently I mainly just wanna talk about games and other pieces of media I am passionate about in a quick kind of format. Think of the way Foekoe does it. I have a few ideas in mind which I'll list here.

  • Hades

  • Slime Ranchers

  • Mickey Mouse (2012)

  • Pixel Gun 3D's awful state

  • Potentially some Anime Talk

  • Little Nightmares

  • Boomer Shooters (Dusk, Ultrakill, Doom, etc.)

  • Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort

I do have the channel created but I am going to wait to have at least a few videos ready to upload there, I'm hoping to do a mostly weekly schedule

Danerade is another one I should give some credit to, they were the inspiration for my Hello Neighbor and I actually got to talk to them earlier this year, nice guy and very underrated.

I will also be working on this with one of my closest friends https://bsky.app/profile/poppype4ch.bsky.social, you can expect to see her assisting with some editing, video ideas, and mainly the thumbnail work.

About Gamejolt

Yeah this website does suck, but so do the people whining on here constantly too. I've had more issues with people on this website as opposed to problems with the websites itself. Like yes, I am aware this website has many problems but most people here are extremely toxic, not as bad as twitter but I never had this issue with almost any other platform.

What's happening to current projects I have?

Rest of the FNATI Reviews - Most likely not happening as I have no motivation

The End of Disney Redrawn - I'm gonna leave that up to XanderCat but I wouldn't be opposed to finishing it up.

FNATI Playing N' Preserving (Fangame Archive) - Yeah sure I don't see any reason to not keep supporting this, it's useful and preservation is important, I'm just waiting on archive.org to allow me to upload things again.

Going Gaming - There's a good chance that may just continue as a podcasty thing since I want to put all of my editing time into the new main channel.

Buster and Shareye (our collab channel) - Sadly this depends on what he wants to do, I only get to talk to him once a week now so it's kinda hard, but if we do continue it shouldn't be much more different than before, just with more edits because https://bsky.app/profile/poppype4ch.bsky.social will most likely be responsible.

Extra Notes: Expect collabs with lots of awesome people.

There's a chance I will do a Q&A livestream and it's possible I will occasionally stream on my original main channel, but I'm not confident that will be super often.

I AM NOT FULLY DELETING ANYTHING. I will still have my gamejolt, discord server, and original main channel up.

Why am I posting this, haven't you kinda said this before?

This is different, that was me trying to shift an audience with an existing identity. This is me creating a new one

Thank you guys so much for this part of my life even with all of the bittersweet things I mentioned here. I wish I had a funny sponsorship to put here like raid shadow legends or a fake announcement like a FNATI revenge remake to tease you but I don't sadly.
