RndStranger
is a YouTuber known for his Famidaily series, in which he gave summaries for every game released to the Famicom in Japan, along with his opinions on said games, daily from 2021 to 2023. Since its conclusion, it has been followed first by the brief Epoch of the Cassette Vision and Epoch of the Super Cassette Vision series, focusing on the few games released for Epoch's Cassette Vision and Super Cassette Vision consoles, and then by the Year of FDS which does the same for games on the Famicom Disk System.
RndStranger's series provide examples of:
- Berserk Button: RndStranger has many pet peeves with regards to Famicom games:
- Micronics, the contract developer infamous for their incompetent programming, especially their ports of games for developers like Capcom.
- As a board game enthusiast, RndStranger is very disappointed that sugoroku games note make up the majority of video board games on the Famicom.
- Content Warnings: If a game contains potentially seizure-inducing effects that can't be edited out, RndStranger makes sure to include one of these.
- The Famidaily episode on Tashiro Masashi no Princess ga Ippai has one of these as well, given that it begins with a discussion of how the game's namesake, Japanese musician Masashi Tashiro, is now infamous for having been arrested and reported repeatedly for sexual voyeurism note and drug possession, which makes the fact that the game's princesses are based on the likenesses of real elementary schoolgirls selected by Tashiro and the game's developers much
Harsher in Hindsight. This association, along with its general bad quality, make RndStranger rate the game among the worst the Famicom has to offer.

- "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The opening and closing themes were composed using the ''Ikinari Musician" music creation cartridge for the Famicom.
- No Export for You: Invoked often, since most games released on the Famicom never left Japan.
- Running Gag: Every time a Dragon Ball game is covered, a different incorrect summary of the series' plot is given in which it is mashed up with the plot of another popular anime.
- Sexy Packaging: RndStranger notices that otherwise unremarkable games are often more expensive on the secondhand market than expected if they have a cute girl on the packaging.
- Shown Their Work: Despite covering more than a thousand games (daily for Famidaily and the Epochs, three times a week for the Year of FDS), many videos contain a great deal of background information on the games, much of which has never been reported in English-language sources. And of course, collecting every Famicom cartridge takes a lot of time and money.
