How to make a video game journal | Hobonichi Day Free Setup 

I am SO sorry for NOT editing out the coughs 😂😂Thats completely my bad. 😅😅

Last year, all I asked for mother’s day was to get to play Tears of the Kingdom without guilt for taking the time. My toddlers played, my five-year-old help me play, and my husband was in charge of meals for the day. It was the best Mother's Day I've ever had! No judgment on gaming!

I have A5 journals for gaming. I write my backstories of my characters so I know how they’d react in any given situation. I write down recipes I need to make. I love it.

I love that idea but the tiny little A6 journal makes my eyes twitch haha

I have a whole A5 ring binder just for Baldurs lmao

This is awesome! You made the Hobonichi A6 look like the perfect size for a journal surrounding a specific topic. I’d love to see a flip through once it’s complete (no matter how long that takes haha). I love getting sucked into a world when casual gaming and it makes sense to want to write document it. Kind of like how people use daily log / memory keeper for real life experiences. Dang, you got my gears turning.. thanks for sharing!

Totally agree with EVERYTHING you said. My time line started when I was about 7 with Mario Bros for NES, 9 Yoshis Island Super NES, Super Mario Bros 3 NES (15), Zelda Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Silent Hill N64 and several others(16), at 17 I discovered Super Mario RPG and actually skipped school to complete it and was my first completed game, later came The Legend of Dragoon XBox 360, Need for Speed Underground and Carbon and then GTA!!! Just recently I was finally able to purchase my own N64 with Majoras Mask and Ocarina as well as GTA and then SIMS 4 PC and BOTW and TOFK on Switch. I now have many more just turned 40 and I can absolutely lose my self in video games but haven’t touched any lately because I am so busy with work etc, I just don’t have the time. Musically my faves are GTA and sounds from ZELDA it’s hilarious every time I hear these on the radio etc and find myself giggling recalling where I know them from etc. also, when I’m lost in my thoughts I hum Mario Bros lol

I wasn’t a big gamer but my cousin put me on Golden Eye and my mom bought me a nintendo64 and golden eye and it was def a vibe. I wish I could play it now w my daughters

OMG i happened to come across this vid right when I was wondering what to do with my A6 day free hobonichi. I thought I was going to use it for my foreign language studies, but I love this idea more! I'm also a gamer and I can see tracking all my gaming; even my stardew valley runs. Even track my Sims 4 legency .. maybe print out lil pics... Thank you so much for the inspiration ! 😊

Thank you for video games journal ideas. I'm obsessed with Stardew Valley and I keep a small notebook for notes. Your journal is so aesthetically pleasing.

The Long Dark would be a good game to journal.

I’m sorry I’m like halfway through, but you mentioned buying Skyrim on every system and still not beating it… I have a feeling I’m gonna like you a lot. This is my first video from you by the way :D I have it for every single system, even ones I don’t own because I love the game so much and I have never beat it. But I don’t have all the trophies on any of systems hahaha

Umm yes to all of this. They are coming out with a third Life is Strange 3 ❤ last of us put me through all the feels and I remember Blockbuster too so it’s all good 😂

I love this idea!

Such a cool idea!❤😊

This is a great set-up. I'm reintroducing myself to Notion again and have a Media calendar/journal. Great inspiration for my gaming log section. Thank you for sharing. It was beautiful and insightful.

As a gamer, I love this idea! May have to set one up in the future. Right now I'm mostly playing Fallout 76 and 7 days to die. For me "cozy" game I play Sims 4. Used to play a lot of Minecraft.

Mass Effect 2 altered my brain chemistry.

wow i've just been thinking of journaling ideas and happened upon this!!! this is great, thank you :) as an aside, LOVEEE moonlighter and excited to get to tunic myself, so good luck in your gaming journey 🫡

For my current Stardew Valley farm I made a journal spread to track the stuff for the community center, and, since I like to do a theme for my farm, I track the names that I use for my farm animals.

I have a gamer question for you: with so many games on your Steam list and other consoles, how do you commit yourself to playing one game to the end, without getting distracted and abandoning it for another game right away? I suffer from choice paralysis and end up playing nothing 😅
