Corporate 101. They think employees care about shareholder interests and shit sandwich bad news with two slices of the limpest reasoning available to them.

There was definitely buzz around PS5 for sure. There was a lot of buzz around the first Switch but that was also pre-covid and Nintendo had done a lot of event touring for the lead up. Feels like for Switch 2 they've just not really bothered?

Can't answer specifically around this but avoid Akihabara and go to Ikebukuro instead. Still busy but fewer tourists and a nicer vibe in general!

Agreed, I think what's exacerbated it are so many sensationalist headlines vs straightforward ones. I understand why some outlets do that (and some are far worse than others at how they do it), but sometimes it does feel like social media and AI overviews make it a race to the bottom.

I'm not clued up on all this inter-industry drama these days but I don't really understand why this is drama? Not your post, the one you quoted and the replies onto it. Clearly people do care about current Waypoint otherwise his article wouldn't have riled anyone?

Also, I saw a piece the other day praising how it doesn't follow a bunch of highschool kids like "every JRPG" forgetting that most JRPGs don't do that and ignoring the fact that these 32 year olds all act with the emotional maturity of high school kids anyway...

Americans (mostly on Reddit/TikTok) say Europeans are poor, not realising that they just get continually shafted by prices on the US and have inflated wages to mentally ease the pain.

Main issues are that I feel like the whole setting is trying a bit too hard to be unique, so it feels a bit dull? I find the combat fiddly compared to the likes of Metaphor/Persona that it's clearly emulating. And I'm currently not sold on the characters or what they're fighting for 🙃

??? Cream soda was/is definitely a thing here. Barr used to make cans of it and M&S used to stock it too. I remember buying it from the ice cream van sometimes as well. Basically just tastes like a ice cream float. Vanilla is in there and a bunch of sugar to make it feel creamy.
