Exiting card game creation and closing Perfectionist Games

After careful consideration, I have decided to abandon card game creation and close Perfectionist Games so I can pursue a new career. Existing card games I have made will remain available on my website. 

But what about Perfectionist Games?

Perfectionist Games will be closing on March 10th, Champion's Cards, which was released on Perfectionist Games, will be moving to my website before March 10th, so that the game is not lost to time.

Why am I doing this? I thought that I was going to be able to come up with more card games than I actually did. Then, on December 6th, Devin, who influenced me to create card games by releasing a card game called Chainsaw, was killed in a car crash. The loss of Devin was so traumatizing to me that it felt like I had lost a close friend, even though I had never met Devin.

With that said, I've decided to consolidate the resources I have while still providing the card games I have been. While no new card games are coming, the ones I have already made, Hardcore Flip, The Eliminator, Telegram, and Champion's Cards, will all remain available and will all continue to be on my website for the foreseeable future.

March 8, 1942 to October 21, 2024

Today marks the loss of an important member of my family. My grandfather, who was 82 years old, was hospitalized on October 14th, and after a week of attempted recovery, did not make it out alive.

I currently do not have anything else to publish online about this, but as new information is gathered, I will provide it here.

Collab streams coming soon

As previously mentioned in the October 6th livestream, I am going to be opening up the doors for collab streams. Planning will begin in December. At the moment, I don't have a publicly available list of people I will collab with, but it is something I am working on.

Computer manufacturer Lenovo refuses to fix laptop hinge

On May 15th, a friend of mine purchased a laptop from Lenovo. When they got it, they felt that it was perfect, until August 22nd, when the laptop hinge broke on them. When they sent it to Lenovo for repair, Lenovo responded with this:

...the nature of the damage is not covered under warranty as it is normal wear and tear. You will need to purchase a replacement Lenovo [laptop] at an authorized Lenovo reseller or on lenovo.com

This made my friend very angry. He had purchased this laptop three months ago and still needs it.

In response, I have decided that I will not be purchasing any more Lenovo computers in the future. Sound familiar to another brand? Maybe I'm imagining things?

Purging old YouTube videos

Some of you may have noticed that asterisks have appeared on many of my older videos on my main YouTube channel. Due to my career change announced back in May, and the nature of some of these videos, I am clearing out my old video library to make room for my new Forza streams and upcoming card games.

Starting August 22nd, videos with single asterisks will be unlisted and will only be available via existing links. Also, videos with double asterisks will be privated and will no longer be watchable on YouTube.

All of my videos prior to May 2020 will be privated, and some videos after will be privated as well. After this change, the oldest remaining public video will be my how to play Lowdown video. Several videos after will be made unlisted, (including some high view count ones, such as the Lubuntu video,) while others will be privated (such as my two most popular videos). My most popular video unaffected by this change is the Windows XP for the first time video from December 2022.

No videos on the lost channel are affected by this change.

I realize that this news may be upsetting for many of you, but this decision was made to allow me to leave my past behind me and move forwards.

Perfectionist Games has launched. Check it out!

Today is a major hobby change for me. I am opening up a new side project - Perfectionist Games, a new brand dedicated towards card games, board games, physical games, and more.

The first card game is out now! Check it out on the Perfectionist Games website.

Surprise, more card games are on the way!

I have some surprises I want to reveal.

First, on July 26th, I will release a new card game called Telegram, which will involve remembering cards and saying what they are. The instructions will be released here and on YouTube on July 26th.

Second, I have been planning a separate card game release planned to be released as celebrations for getting GTBock's YouTube channel to 750 subscribers. If you haven't already, be sure to subscribe to his channel, especially if you want to see more card games from me.

In the meantime, let's enjoy some crab rave.

EDIT June 21st: Due to unexpected circumstances, the release date for Telegram was changed from July 11th to July 26th.
