Between Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (about 25 hrs in, likely to be my GOTY) and redacted, I have honestly lost all interest in Pokemon Legends Z-A.

I’m going to really miss turn-based combat in Pokemon!

Yep, it is indeed real. Spoke to one of the editors at DualShockers about it today. Wild stuff

Thank you my friend. Expecting good things for both of us very soon!

Thank you as always ❤️

Just received a pretty hard rejection. It was for arguably the most important interview I’ve had this year.

The countdown continues until my contract ends soon at Meta. In the meantime, I’m grateful for smaller projects like leading the Pokemon Legends Z-A IGN wiki: www.ign.com/wikis/pokemo...

The Kloe Vanilla Bean, Tita Fresh Lemon, and Agate Aztec Spice are incredible!!

All of the flavors and their character inspiration. I’m not a huge chocolate fan but so far from the about half I’ve tried, the fresh lemon, vanilla bean, and Aztec spice are my favorites.
September 11, 2025 at 3:22 AM
seriously! the ones I’ve tried so far were delicious and I’m not even a huge chocolate fan. But I did see they were giving away some a couple days ago so try to enter!

Received some absolutely beautiful Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter-themed chocolates from @gungho-america.bsky.social this morning. Each one is custom-themed around a particular character. I can’t wait to check out what is shaping up to possibly be my GOTY based on the demo!

For better or worse, Gamurs laid off almost everyone at sites like Destructoid and Siliconera earlier this summer (including myself) that would be otherwise crunching to get guides and other pieces out, haha.

The crafter/gatherer part is mostly old news. Yoshi-P gave me the same answer 6 years ago, including teasing Beastmaster. It was originally called Tamer then.

Day 4 of asking for the Switch demo.

Wake me up when the Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter demo is live on Switch.

This is fascinating to me since I vastly prefer CS1 and CS3 over 2 and 4. I feel like this series often does the setup games better.
I love posts like this that tell you what games to skip because it exposes how little they care about character writing and most of the motivation is being current rather than experiencing the thing normally.

There is no deadline you need to hit. Just play things at your own pace.

I just started my new position as a Data Annotator for Meta! It’s only contracted through the end of the year so I am very much still looking for roles in writing, editing, or PR.

It’s long been my desire to move to PR, so I would be interested in interning, freelancing, part-time, or full-time!

I’m so glad to be able to continue games and anime coverage occasionally at places like @theouterhaven.net! AX was solid this year and I hope to be able to keep contributing to the games and anime industries soon.
What? You thought because Anime Expo 2025 was over, that so was the coverage? WRONG! Thanks to @codyperez.bsky.social , we have coverage of several upcoming games. First up is Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree, which is being likened to an Anime version of Hades.

I have unfortunately been let go from Comicbook. This is (and will be) a tough one to process since I truly loved being a part of the team at the site.

Hello everyone. Out of the blue, I have been let go from ComicBook. I have no job or source of income, so if anyone has any openings for freelance and part/full time work, I’d greatly appreciate a share. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of working and attending my first #DreamHack event this past weekend as a Call of Duty League referee. It was a wonderful experience that I hope to do again in the future!

For now, I’m still looking for regular work in the #gaming, #esports, and #anime spaces.

Beautiful and so sad. I was also laid off today from Fextralife (Valnet). I had only worked there since January for the simple fact of needing a paycheck, but I appear to be a fellow casualty of this purchase due to budgets cuts and the like.
