Fortunately I will also post about cool video games, the Oregon Ducks and my progress leading up to the JLPT N1 test here.
I heard that a lot of people are murdered in Octopath Traveler 0, but I was truly not ready for how many people are murdered in this game lmao

Lots of thanks to @lexluddy.xyz for offering me the opportunity to write for startmenu!!
Since I left PR and moved to Japan, I’ve been thinking a lot about how my media consumption habits have changed through a PR lens, and writing for startmenu let me compile those thoughts.

So I'm taking the plunge and ordering some PC parts over Black Friday.
If you appreciate what @startmenu.bsky.social has done over the years, like @rewinder.co.uk/my freelance work, or thought I didn't sound like an idiot on Game Mess Mornings, now would be a great time to show your appreciation.

Having seen this, I’ve got to say, the KPop Demon Hunter fans need to re-discover Final Fantasy X-2, where you play a girl band who changes fighting classes by changing dresses and has no less than two concerts on the way to saving the world from a giant weapon.
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I’m not really sure why, but I dreamed last night that YOASOBI released a cover of Third Strike’s theme song.

I've had this chat with PR people and they know that supporting smaller sites and freelancers makes sense and would help build a healthier games media.
The problem is game publishers pretty much exclusively want GI cover stories or an IGN First and anything smaller isn't worth it.

I don't understand this mentality as long as the person/website has reputable people. How does it hurt you to provide a code? With how hard it is to get publicity for games of all sizes even "small" coverage seems like it would only help?

Had to the change Silent Hill F difficulty to Story Focused. I was getting too frustrated with combat in this game and it doesn't feel the best.
