I've overhauled my website to now host all of my content in one place. Here you can find all of my videos in a timeline, each complete with noted corrections, unused thumbnails, and more. You can also view all of my coding projects, blog posts, and documentation if interested: hunter-r.com

Three years ago today I uploaded my very first video to the channel. It's been a pleasure to learn and share so much information about my favorite game series. As always, I'm grateful to every viewer who has tuned in along the way. I hope you tune in this Saturday as well... 👀

I know it's been several months since I was active on YouTube and many people were asking how my family and I were doing. As such, I'd like to take this opportunity to provide a quick life update. Thank you all for your patience!

" I had previously announced in February that I would be returning to
regularly scheduled uploads. Over four months have passed since then,
and I'd like to apologize for the lack of any updates.

Things have been quite busy for me as I continue to care for my father,
who unfortunately suffered a major stroke seven months ago. Many
people have commented or emailed me asking how he is doing and
I'd like to thank you all for reaching out. I'm happy to report that he
has made significant progress with his speech. After many months of
struggling to speak, he can now say simple words and hold basic
conversations. It is very heartwarming to hear my father talk again.
Physically, he remains bedridden with limited mobility. He will continue
with longterm care at a nursing facility for the foreseeable future as
therapists work with him to help regain movement.

Outside of his condition, I remain solely responsible for his bills, finances,
insurance, house upkeep, and appointments. I won't go into too
much detail, but the past few months have been very draining as I
coordinate hospital visits, lawyer meetings, and handle finances.
As things finally settle with a longterm healthcare plan, I'm hoping
to find the time and motivation to create videos on a regular basis again.

I have some big plans for the channel that I'd like to bring to life this year,
so I hope you all look forward to future uploads. As always, thank you all
so much for the continued support.

In preparation for potential live-streams, channel members can now use five brand new emotes, illustrated by the very talented @ferrangr1.bsky.social. Ferran was amazing to work with, and you can find his portfolios and more information here: linktr.ee/ferrang Thank you for the support!

While I was away, devs from PlazaJapan.com were kind enough to reach out, compliment the channel, and gift me a complete set of the official Animal Crossing Happy Room miniatures. These were way more detailed than I thought and super fun to put together. Japan always gets the good stuff… 🫠

Complete set of the Animal Crossing “Happy Room” miniatures by Re-ment. On the left is the box that the miniatures come in. On the right are the miniature rooms stacked together, featuring detailed models of house and shop interiors from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

From top to bottom, the rooms are:
• Bob’s house, with Bob standing inside
• Town Hall, featuring Isabelle at her desk
• Marshall’s house, with Marshall sitting at a piano
• The Roost, featuring Brewster serving coffee
• Whitney’s house, with Whitney standing inside
• Nook’s Cranny, featuring Timmy and Tommy

A true triumph in video game history! This video uncovers a lot of pre-release 3DS demos, including the first ever look at a “playable” version of New Leaf’s 2010 E3 demo. Congratulations to James and the 3DS Challenge Team for an amazing release. 👀

Certain cheats enabled in Dolphin can cause this exact graphical issue, but it’s possible they can occur without them as well. I’ve never seen anyone have this issue on console, but I might be wrong.

Was recently gifted these amazing Pokémon Center plushes that act as card displays. While I'm mostly known for Animal Crossing, I also collect Pokémon cards and thought these were neat! Maybe I'll share more of my collection from time to time. 🤔

Never imagined I’d be holding one of these! Stumbling into content creation sparked a bit of light into me at a time where I was pretty low, and now it’s hard to imagine where I’d be without this channel. Thank you all again for the support — it means the world to me, truly. 🙇‍♂️

This happens because Cuyler's ACSE tool does not properly clear the "buried" flag of the ground tile in the event you overwrite your town map to make that tile empty. Since this flag isn't cleared, the game thinks any item dropped on that tile should render as buried and updates accordingly.

Our first video of the year arrives this Saturday, January 25th @ 3:00 PM EST! Hope to see you all there, and thank you for being patient while I settled back in from the holidays. 🎁

You might have noticed already, but I've commissioned some rebranded art for the channel, including a professional redraw of my profile picture and a reference sheet of my character, courtesy of @smashtoons.com. Surprise! There is more to my character than just the upper head! 👀
