I'm going to be using Bluesky a lot differently from here on out, and in a much more lowkey manner than before. I'm doing this for myself first and foremost, and this'll hopefully lead to better stuff from me moving forward. Thank you to everyone that's stuck by me, and I'll see you in Leafhaven.

Have you ever wanted to ride on a friendly villager in Kirby Air Riders? Let's not pretend there isn’t at least one of you out there. Well, here's your chance to do so! Buy my machine now before tariffs hike up the price on this, too!

The hilarious part about this is that in all of my pre-update preparation, Animal Crossing has already beaten Smash Ultimate!

QRP with your GOTY for each year of the 2020s so far 2025: Kirby Air Riders 2024: Balatro 2023: Pikmin 4 2022: Kirby and the Forgotten Land 2021: Bowser's Fury 2020: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I've been getting back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons in preparation for the update, and honest to God, I'm back in my happy place.

The Super Mario 64 relay race in particular was one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed in all my time on the internet. This event really goes to show what the gaming community can achieve at their absolute best! www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-VF...

LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights. Forever and always! I just thought someone needed to hear that today.

Happy New Years! We thank all of you who have stuck around for this long and eventful journey so far. There is more to come of course, so stay tuned, and hang in there! We have returned with a little teaser to show what we've been working on behind the scenes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8zZ...

wizawhat is one of the most chill and real guys I know! He's got a great backlog of video essays, and if you're looking to enhance your video quality, this is the guy to go to!

I might have splurged juuuussssst a little bit on indie games last night during the New Year's sale. Around $30 for all 5 of these games ain't bad at all.

Today marks the end of the SMG4 channel. I want to thank you all so much for this wonderful journey of 14 and a half years. It’s been a wild ride. 💙

I finally finished up the New Game + stuff in Kirby Air Riders. I'm telling you now, this game is so freaking important to me. Whenever I get around to making a Matthew Reviews episode on it, I know that I want it to be super special. A regular review wouldn't do the game justice.

ボンバーマン 40周年！

Finally, Nintendo Switch Online has been justified. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaPq...

I've got a new second channel video today! This time, we're talking about the sad state of video game preservation as SEGA removes the original version of Yakuza 0 from digital storefronts in a few days to make way for the "superior" Director's Cut. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjLY...

Well, it looks like I don't have to do a Kirby Air Riders episode of Matthew Reviews after all. Dunkey just swooped in and took the words right out of my mouth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwmd...

Have you ever seen a more clutch play in your entire life

I've played about 4 hours of Kirby Air Riders so far, and as of right now, yeah, they cooked hard!!!!! I don't think it's gonna win over people that didn't like the original game, but it does so much to improve upon the base foundation of that game that I know I'll be coming back for a long time!

Unfollow me now! This is gonna be the only thing I talk about for the next week! I've wanted this for years!

In just 1 week you have: - Paid for my wedding - Paid to fix my bathroom that flooded Oct 2024 - Paid to replace my broken Dryer - Paid for Nugget's future allergy medication That's the impact you're having on my life. From the bottom of my heart - thank you! 🤎💚

Something Rover this way comes.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is finally good now, and I talked about why on my side channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9ZP...

Virtual Mattsanity

Godzilla tourists, we have never been more back! Please watch Godzilla Minus One if you haven't already. It's genuinely one of the best movies I've ever seen, and I don't even mess with big monster stuff like that, so that should tell you something.

To those that are curious about my thoughts on the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 update, I went and posted a discussion video on my side channel going into detail about it. Subscribe there if you want to see more relaxing unscripted videos like this in the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQyz...

I recorded this for my mom at The Wozzies since she's a big fan of Justin Womble, the guy who plays Jerry Attricks, in particular. And Justin was kind enough to accept the request. Such a down-to-earth guy. Safe to say my mom loved it.

Here are my thoughts on today's announcement about SMG4 closing up shop.

The tomfoolery has finally come full circle!

I'm going to be the biggest shill for this soundtrack in the world! If you want to hear what Mario in an alternate timeline sounds like, this is an incredible body of work.

You best start believin' in ghost stories, or I'm gonna be real angry or something like that.

My Motivation to Make Videos

NEW VIDEO! Matthew held off from talking about the Kirby Air Riders Direct for a month, because he was too busy thinking about the Kirby Air Riders Direct for a month. It's a common mistake. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV5h...

I think I can confidently say that should everything go smoothly and the video doesn't get claimed, the Kirby Air Riders Direct episode of Matthew Reviews will finally be out tomorrow!

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

This is why I don't really like my Sora in Smash Ultimate video. I had to come up with points to pad out the runtime on such a small topic, and I figured that adding a number of nitpicks, even if they are stuff I would've changed, would make me seem more reasonable, but ends up being less authentic.

YouTube was REALLY trying to be slick pushing their AI grift by forcing auto dubbing trained off your own voice across your videos. What an absolute joke this website is nowadays. To all creators that have their heads on straight, go into your channel settings and disable this nonsense.

Has YouTube started asking for your passport to watch videos? YouTube is accessed by over 2.7 billion people worldwide every month and hosts more than 800 million videos. Read on to learn how you can access video content, both on and off YouTube, without going through Google. 1/9 🧵👇

I tried out the Steam demo of Ball X PIT after today's Indie World, and oh my gosh, I think I might have one of my new favorite games right here. If a roguelike brick breaker game sounds even remotely interesting to you, please give this a try. www.youtube.com/watch?v=npSB...

If y'all aren't on Tyler, The Creator's wild ride by now, you're doing yourself a disservice, because he is on a generational run right now, and humanity is better off for it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmlq...

Today officially marks 2 years since Bordering on Tomfoolery came out! This YouTube Poop/machinima hybrid marked such a critical turning point for my channel, tying a bow on my history with YouTube at that point while also acting as a teaser for a story yet to be told through Leafhaven.

If I'm MIA for a week, you'll know why.

Anotha one. I got to take an early look at Ruffy and the Riverside! Here's my review: youtu.be/-m5oqFyz4TE

It's been 15 years since I started making YouTube videos. To celebrate that milestone, I wanted to make a special video reflecting on the journey and its past, present, and future. Thank you so much for being here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjT3...

Thank you so much for getting my channel to 4,000 subscribers! I have a particularly special personal video coming out in the next day or two that wasn't meant to be a subscriber special at all but I think fits the occasion nonetheless. Until then, just... thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So I've been replaying Kirby: Triple Deluxe on my 3DS, and I tend to forget just how good it really is. It often stands in Planet Robobot's shadow, and that's a shame, because this has so many creative ideas of its own, on top of great level design, fun side modes, and superb use of 3D.

A new episode of Matthew Reviews is finally here! And today I choose to consume product... but at what cost? I try to make sense of all the news regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, including the first Direct, the games, and the controversies surrounding the prices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaLO...

I know this is going to sound like an "old man yells at cloud" post, but I truly can't stand the term "content creator". It just reads as pretentious and feels like a politically correct way of turning genuine passion into a cotton mill. It's a nothing burger that doesn't communicate what you do.
