Hey guys, hope you’re doing well and staying hydrated. Here’s some updates I wanted to share:

I’ve hinted for two months about doing a third livestream with Emily and Mia (pictured here). This would’ve been very similar to my last livestream which was a Q&A/hangout livestream. Unfortunately due to logistics, their tight schedule, and their return to England this month, this livestream will not be possible anymore. With that, there won’t be a livestream anytime soon for those wondering. No, Emily is not moving to England. The next time you’ll see me on a livestream will be Friday on ‪@YoshitheGTAExplorer‬’s birthday, which ironically will be at the same exact location where I did my first ever livestream.

I’m getting a desktop PC, which will be very compatible for video editing and to optimize storage. It’ll be more powerful and efficient than the two laptops that I have. I think the minimum requirements I need is a 500 GB hard drive, Intel Core i5 processor, Nvidia Geoforce GTX and 16 GB RAM. Of course I can always add extra storage bays for hard drives, because my two laptops (including the MSI which I primarily use to upload and edit videos) don’t have enough storage. It’s mostly just raw files, photos and important documents. Feel free to leave me some suggestions.

Keep in mind that I publish my videos in chronological order by date. I still have videos from May and June to get through, including from the Montreal trip. I make a lot of videos, and therefore I have a backlog that stretches two months.

Finally, if you want to support the channel you can become a channel member where you’ll get exclusive access to bonus videos that the public won’t get to see. The join button is visible on the channel’s home page.

Thanks so much for your support especially as the channel has passed 5500 subscribers! More to come.

Okay serious question especially for all my fellow Gen Z people, do I have a Toronto accent?

Thanks so much for 5K subscribers! Your support is greatly appreciated and means a lot to me. Lots of more videos to come including from my recent trip.

I will make a 5K subscribers special when I return home. Also I could do a livestream sometime next month….

Wow, my two recent videos discussing transit planning (Line 4 and Line 7) have really took off! So many of you have very good takes on these proposals, and even starting a reddit-style discussion in the comments! As someone that takes City Studies at UTSC and has been into transit planning ever since I started this channel, it is so great to see people taking interest in this field and sharing their discussions. And that is why I will make more videos like this, and I even have MY OWN rapid transit proposals that I will share with you pretty soon. The videos I did on my fantasy transit map last Fall was what inspired me to go in-depth on transit/urban planning. These videos are in a “Discussing Transit” playlist if you want to see me talk about them. Thanks for the support!

City of Toronto and Metrolinx, take notes! I have great suggestions for the future.

Happy Friday the 13th all, I wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be going live tomorrow for the second time on the channel! Since everyone really enjoyed my last live on my birthday, I thought I would give it another try, however this one will be a little different. Join me and my cousin Richard at 5 PM ET/2 PM PT for a Q&A hangout/gaming livestream! We’ll discuss different topics, host a Q&A while we game and chill together. Hope to see everyone tomorrow at 5 PM!

Edit: the livestream is scheduled where you can read the chat rules and also say something there while you wait. Hopefully this start will be better than the one I had on my last live.

I’m really tired and had a “hangover” from all the food and dessert I has this weekend so I am taking a break for a few days (from filming and responding to your comments). Besides, the weather has been really bad these past two days so this gives me time to rest and recover. If TTC announces an opening date for Line 5 this week, yes I will still make that video. For months, I’ve been gearing up and writing a script compiling all my thoughts on this frustratingly long wait and what to expect once it opens. Like it or not, this has been a VERY long time coming and I can’t wait to share it with you all. Stay safe.

Thanks everyone for tuning into my first (and likely last) livestream! It was such a blast and I had a really fun time with all the cousins and friends last night at Milestones restaurant! The livestream has finished processing in HD and it is up on the live tab for anybody that wants to see including chat replay! (plus I made an appearence on Ken’s own live right after).

I said many times that I wouldn’t livestream despite that I already appeared in many others over the past couple of years but my friends wanted me to for my birthday and with the help of Liam, Vasiliy and Sepand, I made it a success. A huge thank you to those that sent superchats and also the moderators (Alicia, Modano, Yoshi, Liam and Sepand) for looking after the chat! And thank you so much for the birthday wishes, I appreciate it! Stay warm.

Here is my livestream: youtube.com/live/47CrAmfgtvA?si=XDByn_a7LxAmdGoC
