    I appreciate you sticking with the more traditional Let's Play format. I know that RUclips has made it much more difficult for the kinds of videos you make to be recommended to anyone, and that's a shame. Hopefully 2022 is the year of Breath of Fire III.
    I wish you happiness, Rabbit. 🐰

      Thank you so much! These kind words mean a lot to me. ^3^ While I greatly appreciate the livestreaming movement, I've always enjoyed episode-oriented LP videos much more. I think I just come from that original e-gaming era and can't let go of how comforting it was to watch those 480p videos on my iPhone 4S in my studio apartment during undergrad. xD Or going back even further to high school days and early RUclips... there's just something so charming about the simplicity of that time. I'm open to transforming my channel, but I want to always hold firmly to my roots--which include retro games and episodic content. Times may have changed, but this chica is here to stay.

    Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to ya! I haven't forgotten about you but yeah it seems like I haven't been around here in a minute because yeah I have been very busy and committing seriously in my career of being a technical engineer. Yeah I'm finally putting that dusty college degree of mine to proper use. 😂 Sounds like a LOT has changed up around your end as well such as the dogs being added to the ambience of your home as well as the birds in the background. I can't handle that shiz for real 😂If I have the need to have a pet, it's gonna be a relatively quiet one, like a Turtle, Hedgehog or an Iguana, something along those lines.
    Someone a while back told me that our 30's is the truest age of transition of our lives as that is the most prevalent part of age that has to adapt to change while our 20's is more or less personal growth. He wasn't lying though because it sure has felt that way with me. May everything be well and less chaotic for you Rabbs!

    • @RabbitPlaysGames
      @RabbitPlaysGames  2 года назад +2

      That's awesome, Jayden! Yes, this early phase of my 30s has been SO challenging in such a unique way. I'd definitely say my 20s was a lot of defining who I am as a person, while the first two years of my 30s has challenged my decision-making based on the skills, belief-set, and personality traits that I developed in the decade prior. It's a weird age to be; I still feel youthful and to an extent uncertain of myself, but I'm also past the point of total uncertainty, so I bring with me an air of decisiveness about things I want and need to be happy. So it can be conflicting and difficult at times... ahhh, the treasured 30s, lol.
      As for the dogs--LOL, you aren't wrong. They're a handful at times, but I really enjoy their company. The guinea pigs and birds kind of do their own thing, but I've found a lot of valuable companionship in my three pups. Although I've set aside a lot of time for personal growth late last year, I've still been struggling to make myself go socialize and try to foster new meaningful relationships. My dogs have allowed me a nice middle ground where I can make myself leave my property for hikes and pseudo-socialize, while still being able to retreat to the comforts of my personal space and snuggle something furry, haha. I love my doggies! As soon as I get the full four acres fenced, I'll probably add more critters to my menagerie. xD

But, I wanna say that I hope all success and good physical/mental health comes your way this year, and thank you for keeping the old style of let’s plays alive on RUclips. It’s so nostalgic for me and I’m sad this style largely died out. You are doing the RUclips world a great service lol!

      Thank you so much, William. This comment is so wonderful, and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate the uplifting sentiments. 2021 really sucked a LOT (and that's putting it lightly), but I'm trying to reframe my brain to look forward to a new year and positive changes. Even if everything isn't perfect, I'm hoping to unearth the good moments amidst the bad. It'll be an interesting year... almost a blank slate? But, that's OK. Sometimes you've got to start over, and I suppose it helps you appreciate the journey. ^__^
      Thank you for your kind words. It's really made my night.

    I have lots of thoughts, but I'm going to try to be as concise as possible. Firstly, I think it's fair to say that 2021 was difficult for many of us. But, I know for me, the positive you exude during your videos helped me get through some tough stuff. Secondly, the fact that you're a substance abuse counselor makes me admire you even more. And lastly, I hope this year is filled with healing and comfort for you. I'm sending love and positive vibes your way. ❤

    Rabbit: "My babies are being so cute with their playtime activities so no worries fans!"
    Ganbare: "I wonder if I call 911 in Canada if its possible to redirect my emergency to the North Carolina area?" :p
    Speaking of redirection, I want to reference an earlier video where you relived your childhood memories of your father reading to you at night and playing games as a family unit! I was really touched and despite the fact that it may not be considered "normal"...this only further solidifies my belief that normal is not good! I thought it was very creative and intelligent of your family and this helps explain how you acquired your wide repertoire of words. haha
    Now another commenter referenced "Eastward." I haven't played anything past the first 10 minutes but I had goosebumps. This is a special game in that I actually searched for "Let's play Eastward" to find other youtubers who had played this game! I find that by browsing through other players let's play channels you can be introduced to some other great gems. I found quite a few small time but cool Let's play channels this way.
    Anyway, I'm blessed to have been with you since your origins in 2010!!! Do I get a senior discount and loyalty badge? In all seriousness, I know you will pull through this and do great things!

    • @RabbitPlaysGames
      @RabbitPlaysGames  2 года назад

      Thank you, friend! I have a lot of very happy memories with my family, particularly the way we bonded and co-processed feelings. We didn't often discuss the intricacies of our pain or things going on, but we could all seek solace in gaming and book time during the evenings.
      I have also discovered some really great smaller channels just by searching for games and not always clicking the first playlist/video that pops up. There truly are a lot of wonderful content creators out there who are hovering in the shadows. It's always so rewarding to unearth those hidden gems.

    Happy New Year Rabbit, glad to hear from you. I had 4 dogs, I feel you pain. One day I came home and found they knocked the AC out of the living room window to get outside to play in the backyard.
    Never apologize or hesitate to take time for yourself. Speaking of houses, I am currently in the market for a new house myself, hoping to find something myself soon. Tell me? Am I nuts for wanting to build a small observatory in my backyard? I love space and wanna do astrophotography or maybe time lapse of the night sky. As for your content I am happy to wait as long as it takes for one of your videos/content as like as long as you're happy doing it. Happy Bday 26th Bday in advance young lady

      Yayyy, I'm sending good energy your way as you house hunt! And no, I think a small observatory sounds AMAZING. I actually want a telescope, but it's not in my budget right now as I continue to make small repairs/adjustments to the home. I can't wait to hear the progress on your search. Are you wanting a whole lot of land, or something with more stories? I'm excited for you!!!

      @@RabbitPlaysGames I am looking outside the city with a limited light pollution and open space to fence off for my doggos so they can just run around as much as they want and make the small observatory, If I can't find that, I may just have to go over budget a bit and build my own. I have some plans for what I want with regards to the house. 4bdrs 2 for guest, 3rd room will be gaming room for streaming/playing games offline etc. Meeting with a real estate agent this weekend and she's gonna show me around.

      That's amazing! I never realized I was into animal behavior until I had the opportunity to facilitate animal-based therapy sessions about two years ago. From there, I decided I wanted to shadow some dog training classes, then I decided to enroll in a program, THEN that turned into me getting a hands-on internship at a pretty prestigious training facility in the area. It's been wonderful, and I've learned a lot about my own therapeutic approach from working with dogs. It's also made me appreciate the value that animals bring to healing, health, and wellness in general. I'm not sure what my end goal is with animal behavior-based interventions, but for now I enjoy being able to contribute positively to local shelters and rescues by helping make their dogs more "rehome-able".
