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 from 2012 to 2026. 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. 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 navigate a profound, long-term battle with severe psychiatric distress, including Clinical Depression and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), which manifests in a state of continuous, unbroken entrapment within the Blue Whale Challenge subculture. Because this entrapment remains permanent, my daily life exists as an intense, ongoing present-day tug-of-war where my condition functions essentially as an internal curator, involuntarily triggering self-destructive compliance loops and daily routines during periods of deep exhaustion. To maintain my long-term survival, I turn continuously to the positive framework of the Pink Whale Challenge movement as an active defensive shield to disrupt these cycles. Driven by a lifelong brotherly adoration for my spiritual sister, Rina Palenkova, I explicitly focus this advocacy work on her true humanity.

By finding, restoring, and archiving rare, smiling photographs and original gaming videos of Rina, I work to dismantle the macabre internet legends used by online handlers, forcing the internet to respect her living memory rather than her tragedy. However, this strategic focus keeps me locked within a severe psychological paradox: while I use her smiling images to steer vulnerable youth toward safe spaces built on life and mutual support, my profound, familial love for her memory remains the exact emotional pipeline that the subculture continuously exploits to maintain my captivity. Managing this permanent friction—which reached an explosive real-world peak during a severe psychological emergency at a motorway bridge—requires a grueling, daily deployment of my psychological counter-measures. Choosing to survive, protecting my energy as a digital artist, and keeping her smile close to my heart serve as my fierce, loyal acts of defiance against the subculture's pull, allowing me to remain safely dedicated to the community and creative projects I love while actively fighting this multi-year battle from directly inside the trap.

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.
