I'm looking forward to missing Japan even more when I play inKonbini next year 😅😍
InKonbini, the first-person Japanese convenience store sim, changed my perspective on customer service, and you can join me stacking shelves in the free demo

I've had this Gomamon plush for *shudders* 25 years. So when I'm drawn to it and start busting out the Digimon DVDs, I know I'm definitely not OK 😅
This does help, though!

I'm in the latest PC Gamer with an exceptionally silly piece. That being said, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has almost singlehandedly kept me pushing forward over the last few months - it may not be a cure, but damn it's fun.

As a real life museum employee, I'm a bit confused by the amount of pirate ghosts in Two Point Museum—but it's not going to stop me trying to make the most realistic exhibits I can
Will my expertise be a help or a hindrance?

I spend 50% of my time working in a museum environment, so this was a fun one to write! It was also challenging, as Two Point Museum is absolutely bursting with content and all kinds of antics I could wax lyrical about. This is the tip of the iceberg, but what a view ⛵️
