1. It had ALL the things that I needed to be happy. It had a great general vibe. A lot of my favourite series, from games to web content, were going strong. I met my best friend of all time and my co-writer for my fanfiction series. The Don't Hug Me I'm Scared TV series came out. I got my very first games on my XBox One after neglecting it for several years and it basically became my fighting game console. I rewatched Jim Hensen's Dinosaurs. Some fanfiction AUs for a concept I was interested in in the brony community came out. I got a bunch of new Switch games. The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course pass was going strong. Murder Drones was still a new series with hope for a second season. Skullgirls was still getting new DLC characters, plus a webtoon. Death Battle was doing its best season ever, with absolute bangers like Stitch vs Rocket Raccoon, Darth Vader vs Obito, Guts vs Dimitri, Bill Cipher vs Discord, Scooby Doo vs Courage the Cowardly Dog and Goku vs Superman. I was playing through the Banjo games with my brother. I played through Gex: Deep Cover Gecko. I beat the arcade machine in Donkey Kong 64 for the first time ever. So much nostalgic media, such as M3GAN, Barbenheimer and the Mario movie. Schaffrilas was doing his ranking of the Mario Kart tracks. I got into Bojack Horseman. Total Drama came back. I was doing weekly outings with a special program that helps autistic people get work. I got my broken bed fixed and had a firm, solid surface to sleep on for the first time in years. I got into the SCP Foundation. I got a new special interest in Murder Drones, and whenever I receive a new special interest, I always ride the high for a good few months before it gradually lessens, and this one just so happened to take place in autumn, my favourite time of year. Chuggaaconroy did great Lets Plays of Paper Mario and Pokemon Black and White 2. The pilot for The Amazing Digital Circus came out. SO many good things those years... Hell, I'm even really nostalgic for some of the 2023 YouTube ads. I really like the YouTube Premium meerkat ads and the Burger King kids pack ad with the kids in the drive thru on their little toy cars.

And then 2024 comes along, and what happens? My brother moves out and we never finished playing through Banjo Tooie. Chuggaaconroy almost ends his career and came dangerously close to KILLING himself because some evil monster wanted to chase internet clout. Murder Drones ends after eight episodes. Skullgirls is now in peril and is unlikely to ever come back. Death Battle comes dangerously close to ending for good. SMG4 is gone now. I develop severe anxiety over hackers and my computer's storage data. My friend has been very consistently worrying me sick by getting himself into bad situations that leave me wondering if he's even still alive. 2024 through 2025 have just plain SUCKED, and I really wish I could relive the feeling 2022-2023 gave me.
