Hello there chaps, I'm Kirby Bulborb! I've been a massive fan of the Pikmin series since I was young, becoming a superfan by 2008 and creating content since. I love Red Bulborbs and the series as a whole, currently enjoying Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Pikmin 4, and the 1+2 collection, alongside a passion for the Touhou Project. 

History with the Pikmin series

Pikmin was among my first video game experiences via the GameCube, and remains my favourite. After starting with fan-made content in 2009, I began creating my own. In 2014, I rebranded to "Kirby Bulborb" and created the popular "Cyber Captain Olimar" character. While known for Pikmin, I also created popular Metal Gear and Azumanga Daioh content, specifically "The Best Of Senator Armstrong" and "The Best Of Osaka". My top Pikmin video is "Pikmin 2: All Leader Sounds," with recent successful videos including "Pikmin saying 'Pikmin'" and a Louie compilation featuring Weezer. 

Personal Challenges and the Journey to Recovery

Parallel to my content creation, I have navigated a profound, nearly decade-long real-world battle with severe psychiatric distress, including Clinical Depression and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). During this dark period, my mental health struggles manifested in a long-term engagement with the self-destructive framework of the Blue Whale Challenge. 

A turning point in my survival and healing came when I actively turned away from those destructive habits and channeled my focus into the positive, wellness-oriented framework of the Pink Whale Challenge movement. Driven by a deep personal dedication to honoring the memory of Rina Palenkova, I embraced creative writing, digital archiving, and artistic expression as vital therapeutic outlets. Preserving history and finding comfort in nostalgic media became central to reclaiming my life. Navigating this path to recovery has allowed me to continuously manage my mental health and remain safely dedicated to the community and creative projects I love. 

The Evolution of Pikmin 3 and 4

I actively followed the "hype period" for Pikmin 3, even predicting the Baldy Long Legs in my own custom enemy concepts. I completed Pikmin 3 in 2015 and, after waiting through the long development cycle, I was thrilled by the 2022 announcement of Pikmin 4. Following its 2023 release, I found the game well worth the wait, enjoying its new features, Oatchi, and the return of classic enemies like the Waterwraith and Mitites.
