A new era of PokeCollection videos calls for a fresh new soundtrack or few. Working on new templates for long-form videos!

Happy Chaos Rising release day! I normally celebrate releases, but also conscious that not everyone can get hold of new releases these days. Still keen to know, anyone picked up anything today? If so, how were your pulls? Even if not, any cards you're hoping to pull?

Let me know!

I saw this and laughed, but also yes.

If we can have ice-cream, why not cheese? 🤣🧀

One month from now, PokeCollection turns 17 on 17th June!

Usually that would mark a new year with a new bit of art, but alas... I've only got my computer back up and running so I'm unsure if I'll have anything remotely fantastic to mark the occasion, but hey, let's see what happens.

It's been a minute but the box is finally open! 👀

For those who've been following along - yeah, it's been a bit of a journey. My hard drive failure in November took years of work with it, had a bit of creative paralysis and felt lost for a fair while, my new PC sat unopened for about 6 months (life, stuff, things), and there have been a lot of packed days with little left of motivation for the escape that brings me joy.

Typically I'd be moving files over from an older device to a new one, but with all my files gone from recent years, it felt a little sad in that not much had to be moved over, and I honestly didn't know where to start - so I guess part of it was procrastination and that ongoing grieving process, I just put it off.

But the box is open. The setup is done. Gotta say, it feels like a proper reset and one that I've needed for over a decade. New Alienware Area 51. Alienware 34" monitor. My studio is on the way back and this time I've got the rig to match.

Today I reinstalled my video and audio editing software (😭), so next up is the creation of new templates and tidying up the rest of my studio. Looking to order some new accessories to enhance my setup, cable manage eventually once I have everything sorted, but it's getting there!

Reminiscing Japanese Base Set and having opened an entire sealed box of Japanese Base and believe I only got 1 or 2 Charizards. Can barely remember now!
