I started a series on how the Game Boy works a few years ago while I wasn't working. I posted the first episode on r/videos and it was unexpectedly successful, so I rushed to buy a better microphone and got to work on the second video. Then I went back to work and realized that I just couldn't keep it up. The amount of effort it took to write, record, edit, and fully animate the episodes was just too much for a side project.
I also made a bunch of mistakes that kinda soured the experience and made me realize I'd have to be much more strict about sourcing, vetting, and reviewing every single detail. I hope I'll pick it back up one day, but it doesn't seem likely.
I loved your videos and have always wondered why you didn’t continue! Reading your comment, I think your quest for perfectionism shines through but I think your viewers would be much more forgiving than you are to yourself. Hopefully you can continue one day, maybe keep the scope a bit smaller so you don’t overwhelm yourself.
