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!

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...

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!

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.

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.

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.

I’ll be attending #AnimeExpo again this year for the 10th time. Lmk if you need someone to cover it for you! While ofc great for anime, AX also has excellent games. Last year, I previewed games like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

First post on here and I reviewed Fantasian: Neo Dimension! Gave it a 9/10. It is surprisingly one of my favorite games this year. I remember subscribing for a month of Apple Arcade just for it, but I never finished it, so I’m glad to have finally done so!
