announcement: as many of you have decoded from my recent videos, i have decided to step away from full-time work at @Kotaku effective today, in order to focus on @ActionButton's #TRUCKHECK, other Exciting Endeavors, and my health.

@Kotaku @actionbutton i will continue to contribute to @Kotaku—and perhaps some Other Outlets!—as a freelance video producer *and* writer. will i start a patreon and make my OWN videos for a website perhaps called "Action Button"? i won't say no! will i start a podcast? maybe. am i open to offers? yes

@Kotaku @actionbutton this decision was difficult to make because Kotaku Dot Com is my favorite website. however, when some wig-haired motorola-hip-holster-havin Daddy's Man and his pet TJ Maxx Frankenstein murdered my *second*-favorite website, i couldn't let it slide

@Kotaku @actionbutton at any rate, positive commenters on my videos most often compliment my ability to tell stories. i would not have this ability without stories. for the past three years, my life has been ABOUT thinking about video games. i'm runnin outta stories; i need to live some more stories.

@Kotaku @actionbutton i realize that i have accumulated a network of references and connections that makes this decision easier for me. i don't wanna romanticize it too much, so i won't be like "i'm throwing my health insurance card in the sewer and returning to my previous trash-gutter lifestyle."

@Kotaku @actionbutton suffice it to say that if you like My Content, i promise i will make more of it. heck, maybe even more than before. who knows. i'll even start streaming!

it's just not going to happen too soon . . . i need to take care of a couple things, and get some stuff ready.

@Kotaku @actionbutton i hope that i'll be active as a slightly more "independent content creator" by the time animal crossing comes out. and i PROMISE i'll get there before The @FinalFantasyVII Remake comes out!

@Kotaku @actionbutton @finalfantasyvii until then, as i make the complicated preparations for my Content Avalanche, it'd make me feel pretty good if i saw the subscriber / follower numbers go up on the following channels:

youtube.com/108x
twitch.tv/actionbutton

@Kotaku @actionbutton @finalfantasyvii and if anybody out there just can't wait for a patreon—which, again, might not even happen!!—you can prove to me the viability of such an extreme measure by donating, say, $3 or more with the link below

(donations go directly to my building a new PC)

@Kotaku @actionbutton @finalfantasyvii oh, and since several people have asked: yes, MOON is coming! in fact, that's the very first project i'm going to finish, starting tomorrow.

to clarify: the translation is done. we're just debugging it now. i'm not in a position to say any more. i'll let you know when i can!!

i composed all these tweets as a thread the same way i have a hundred times before. it is making me SCREAM that of all threads twitter fractured this one in multiple bizarre ways. at any rate: most of your questions are answered in here somewhere!!

hey @TwitterSupport ! i made all these Very Important Tweets in a thread 100% By The Book and it they somehow keep getting scattered . . . I’m tired of getting the same questions a hundred times in DMs . . . normally i wouldn’t ask though uhhh can you fix this lol
