Sometimes I sit down, reflect over my life the past few decades and go "...the fuck did I do to end up in this situation?"

Feel like that happens more and more frequently now.

Your career is now old enough to vote or served in the armed forces.

Although given how much you've had to deal with Emile's bad puns and games glitching out, and also accounting for your dreams, I'd say your career already has combat experience. :D

18 years??? dang!! time sure does fly by real fast

This is why I was saying doing a Senior Prom themed stream would be fun. Have you dress up before your career goes to college, drinks too much, does all assignments 3 hours before they are due and waking up in a Target bathroom after blacking out from too many energy drinks.

Man, 18 already, huh? Time flies. Congrats, and thanks for the amazing content and fostering this wonderful community!!💙

One of my old friends from high school and I still quote “A HUNDRED SECONDS?!” Every now and then. Good times, man.

crimsonsunmouse.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was in middle school when I first saw the infamous Kaizo Mario World video.

You're welcome =)

ozzyman314.bsky.social•1 day ago

It can’t be 18 years already, I only started watching you back in 2014.

That was only…….4 years ago, right?

pastelsakura.bsky.social•1 day ago

Happy 18th anniversary, Jon!!! I guess there was a reason for you to be reflecting on this day lol!!!

speeds.bsky.social•1 day ago

18 years? Goodness Jon! Will you do anything special for the 20th when the time comes?

Also I think I remember seeing one of your lets plays all of a sudden. I think it was a rom hack if Mario world. Goodness!

zeroflame16.bsky.social•1 day ago

2007 Jon: “Oh this Rosalina character looks pretty cool. Hopefully there is merch for them in the future.”

2025 Jon: “Well probably not what you’re expecting.”

Happy Anniversary Jon! Thanks for the countless memories on Stream and the various youtube videos you’ve done over the years

I was literally a baby, that is an insane amount of time

nokiofthestars.bsky.social•1 day ago

In PTSD studies, that's called the anniversary effect

disastermillennial.bsky.social•1 day ago

i remember watching random ass Kaizo Mario hack videos you uploaded and waiting for the next Superman 64 video for YEARS before hearing "oh yeah, ProtonJon streams on twitch and is super popular there :) "

disastermillennial.bsky.social•1 day ago

also Knytt Stories. wild time

butteryinkling.bsky.social•1 day ago

OKAY WHEN I SAID THAT ABOUT THE GOOGLE VIDEO I DID NOT THINK IT WAS THE ANNIVERSARY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON'S FIRST GOOGLE VIDEO YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO GO TO COLLEGE

alivegamer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Google video? Daaaaang

adanagnia.bsky.social•1 day ago

Potentially cursed knowledge: if my math (and googling) is right than July 5th 2028 will be the day you will have spent exactly half of your lifetime streaming (accounting for time going up both in life and streaming). This also happens to be a Wednesday.

cm30.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It’s been 18 years? Damn that just feels almost unreal if you ask me. As someone who watched things like your early Kaizo Mario World LP, it’s kinda incredible it’s been that long.

Congrats on the 18th anniversary!

psychoticgex.bsky.social•1 day ago

Only 10 more and you can retire. :)

doodlewill.bsky.social•1 day ago

Its been that long??
Christ. I still remember when people made rants about how 'They'll never go to YouTube, Google Videos going to live forever'...

roselii49.bsky.social•1 day ago

congrats, your internet career is now a legal adult??

dropsofmoonlight.bsky.social•1 day ago

your internet career can now vote, drink, and be arrested in at least 60% of the planet. what a wild thing

leebe.bsky.social•1 day ago

Dang, 18 years already? It sure doesn't feel like it's been that long

blueknight85.bsky.social•1 day ago

How would 18-year-old Jon react to this?

maxoffewtrades.bsky.social•1 day ago

And I've been there for at least 15 of those, maybe more.

Time is some scary nonsense.

skykidshykid.bsky.social•1 day ago

... not sure how i feel about being the same age as your let's playing career.

protonjon.bsky.social•1 day ago

I like how you're more bothered about it than I am, haha.

girldm.com•1 day ago

CONGRATS ON 18 YEARS THO THAT'S AMAZING

protonjon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Time moves faster, Pokey, faster.

desfuria.bsky.social•1 day ago

Damn, congrats on 18 years

correllleo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Tonight’s stream had better be titled properly or we will riot

thebotwithglasses.bsky.social•1 day ago

And here you are now, selling your own clothes. Did the you from 18 years ago expect that? I'd be surprised.

protonjon.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't think the me of 3 months ago expected this.

nomorespearows.bsky.social•1 day ago

Cripes, who's still active in the community that's been in the game longer than you have? The only person I can think of is maybe raocow, but I don't know when he started.

Congratulations/commiserations!

protonjon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Couple former SA guys are still around. Slowbeef, raocow, Psych, etc. All started around the same time.

nomorespearows.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wait, Psych is still uploading as well? I really have fallen off.

protonjon.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was streaming regularly at least, think he's been on break lately.

zacman103.bsky.social•1 day ago

There’s been high points, there’s been low points but overall you have created so many amazing moments and memories not just for yourself but also for your community in that time, you met Lucah, you adopted Bagel, raised a heck of a lot of money for Charity…

zacman103.bsky.social•1 day ago

… Gave artist a place to show off their talents, inspired so many people to start creating content, allowed for so many people to become the best version of themselves and have also given a lot of people a reason to smile and keep going…

zacman103.bsky.social•1 day ago

… While yes, you might have a lot of things you wish over the past 18 YEARS had gone a little differently. You have done a lot of good not only for yourself, but your community and the world.

Keep up the fantastic work you do Jon. I hope that you continue to be as great of a person as what you are.

Happy 18th anniversary, Jon. ♥️🥂
