![]() ![]() Ever since they started Good Vibes Gaming they were keen on bringing Jon back and in November 2021 they started talks to do so which led to Jon joining at the start of February 2022. Jon originally gifted them this channel to create this project from a base of already keen Nintendo fans. Jon left Nintendo Life on good terms and joined some of his old Gamexplain colleagues at Good Vibes Gaming. ![]() Outside of his actual career as a journalist, he has garnered a reception among some in the Smash community as a leaker, despite massive evidence to the contrary. Along with these, he's also been a fairly regular user on ResetEra since its inception. He left in September 2020 over various factors, including the birth of his first child, and till February 2022 had been employed by Nintendo Life. He was previously an employee at GameXplain, where he worked for years and quickly garnered a largely positive reception as one of its most prominent members. None of this was terribly scientific, but it did provide food for thought.Jon Cartwright (also known as Jon GameXplain under a previous employment) is a video game journalist largely known for his coverage of Nintendo. And did the island’s communist past have something to do with the residents’ happiness? One elderly local said that islanders consider themselves equal, and care little for money, which took away stress. “This is our time, not the clock.” The elderly are looked after by their families, not placed in care homes, although that's true of plenty of other countries. “We have three times: from sunrise to noon, from noon to sunset, and then from sunset to the next sunrise,” he explained. Rather than give a specific time, the doctor said he’d be there “in the morning”. Snow went to meet an octogenarian retired doctor who had taken up sailing and arranged to meet the presenter by the water. They enjoyed the simple things in life, away from the rat race, and they took their time about it. Some had lived there all of their lives, while others had returned after years away. The people he met on this tiny island (population: 8,500) seemed remarkably free of stress. This is not a new idea Miriam Margolyes visited Loma Linda for her own show a couple of years back, and you surely don’t need anyone to tell you that following a Mediterranean diet and eating oily fish is good for your health.īut his visit to Ikaria went deeper than tips about diet and the benefits of walking. ![]() In a bid to find out how to live contentedly into old age, he has ventured to three communities where life expectancy is uncommonly high: the Greek island of Ikaria, Loma Linda in California, and Japan. But he no longer has the daily buzz of the Channel 4 newsroom (you would think that having a toddler at home – Snow and his wife welcomed a baby in 2021 – might keep him busy, but hey ho). Actually, it’s only semi-retirement, because Snow, now 75, still gets to make programmes such as this one. “Suddenly there’s the rest of my life ahead of me,” said Snow in How to Live to 100 (Channel 4), in a tone of some alarm. The prospect of unlimited leisure time does not fill them with joy. It happens to a lot of people who have left jobs which kept them busy and whose sense of self was tied up with their careers. ![]() Jon Snow is not coping well with retirement. ![]()
