    War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircrafts and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
    So I made a bunch of predictions about video games, about xbox, about playstation, nintendo, and even not nintendo in late 2022 about 2023.
    Most of them were wrong, so I'm gonna go over them and laugh at myself.

      No! And I don't care, since I'll get bored with it, and it ruins the bloody video! So disliked, and possibly not recommended, and ALSO even if I have the sponsor skipper, I WON'T be bothered watching this video, and ALSO ALSO the sponsor isn't good, because it's stupid, and lazily placed in, and also also the War Thunder is ALREADY the worst part of the video, not you suffering with your predictions which I think were right (not really). Also did you even played that game? Because I think you haven't, and I didn't see a non-sponsor mention on your channel (I do understand money and that crap, but come on mate)

      God that sponsor segway was flawless. It looks so awkward 99% of times when content makers try to make those transitions as seamless as possible, but they can't keep it substantial throughout the whole thing, so you're instantly made aware they're blabbering away from the point they had a few second ago, and you just know what's coming next.
      A sincere, momentary, bang-on-the-head sponsor opener is way more honest and respectful in my opinion.

    Dear Whimsu,
    I wanted to reach out and express my support during this challenging time for your channel. Your presence has been missed, and it's clear that your dedication hasn't gone unnoticed. Personally, I've been following your journey since discovering the console variation videos, and your insights into limited edition gaming items were truly enjoyable. Your channel has been a go-to for gaming news, and I'm hopeful to see a return to that engaging content in the future.
    I deeply appreciate the effort and hard work you've put into your content, and I genuinely hope things take a turn for the better soon. Thank you for everything you've shared with us.
    Best wishes.

    Imma be real with you, Whimsu. Getting 15/31 predictions for an entire *year* correct...is REALLY fucking good. Like my guy, predicting the future is VERY difficult, way harder than people think. You could say it's a 50% success rate, but remember that these aren't true/false questions. You had to actively pay attention to the industry, and make specific predictions, when literally *anything* can happen over the course of 365 days. And remember, that's a 50% success rate while being *very* conservative with your bar for "accurate prediction". There were at least a few of those predictions that did come true, just not in the exact way you said it would.
    And moreover, I give you some fucking credit for going back to your predictions and calling out when you were wrong. I trust a forecaster who is willing to risk making more outlandish predictions, then own up to when they failed, more than one who is ultraconservative, and ignores when they were wrong. There are actual journalists looking at this industry (with more access than you), who don't do that.
    And speaking of "Oh I was just extrapolating based on the reporting at the end of the year" Bro that is *literally* what forecasting is. What the fuck else were you supposed to use? You got a 50% sucess rate with *open source data*.
    So don't beat yourself up, dude, honestly, you did REALLY well, and even when you missed, you owned up to it.
    Hope you have a Happy New Years!

Like, what I mean is, I kinda don't care if you shit the bed on every single prediction you make, they all seem like genuine realistic speculation with the information you have available to you at the time. And if not, you usually specify (like the Nintendo/Ubisoft one). It doesn't seem like you make predictions for clicks is what I'm saying lol.
