A few weeks ago I went to a PlayStation pop up shop and they were featuring a good amount of Bloodborne stuff I was wondering why considering who they had just sacked at the time, but kinda makes a bit more sense now

Saw YOASOBI and Atarashii Gakko live today and that’s two life goals crossed off the list today

I made an impulse purchase yesterday Vita means life

Le meilleur des mêmes DLSS5, parce que malheureusement le plus vrai (v/ Reddit)

I went in with a free kit, got absolutely carried by two peeps I got matched with, and experienced going from rags to riches omg lol

Ho boy, took down a whole crew mostly solo, and I’m gonna be living on this high for the rest of the weekend

Marathon has me hooked Watching bullets fly through the extraction zone as I barely make it out while my teammate had just been taken out right in front of me had me gasping for breath lol

When I found out last year that I was moving to Japan, I was so excited to finally attend my first EVO since it would be practically be in my backyard well so much for that lol

The Microsoft veteran speaks out amid chaos at Xbox

Final Fantasy XV came out during my junior year of high school, and Final Fantasy XVI came out after I graduated college and was a year into my career. While XIV and the VII remake series are chugging along, it's pretty crazy to think I might be 30 before a theoretical XVII.

The extended time 2XKO had in the oven really deflated the excitement and interest around it. The initial re-reveal was in 2021, right during peak Arcane excitement, and it had a lot going for it at that time. But between the staggered PC and Console release, it lost a lot of momentum sadly.

Power of the Super Bowl

One of the shirts at the Romeo is a Deadman event here has the game’s PR pulse points and its press tour schedule printed on the back which rules lol

Shout out to this image in the Tekken Season 3 trailer Absolutely perfect, no notes

Wrapped up my play session with Alex, and yeah, all you wrestling sickos are gonna love him

I can’t take any photos, but I’m getting some hands on time with Alex 🫡

Made it out the the street fighter league grand finals. It’s my first fighting game event and I’m pretty excited

Last call for any mutuals who might want to give Fantasy Critic a shot. We are gonna draft the late league this weekend.

MinnMax is teaming up with @giantbomb.bsky.social this Friday at 5pm Central for an ICE Out charity stream from our studio in Minneapolis. It'll be simulcast on all channels... www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow www.youtube.com/minnmax www.twitch.tv/giantbomb www.youtube.com/giantbomb

"B-But if we don't use AI, how will we storyboard cutscenes--" MOTHERFUCKER MY WIFE LET ME USE HER CROCHET PLUSHIES, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE

I'm open to any editorial work, I can be a reporter, I can be an editor, I can be a guide writer, and anything else. But I also have extensive experience podcasting and editing audio, and I'm open to on-camera work and panel hosting. But I'm also open to something new, PR, narrative work, etc.

Figured I should update my pinned post for the new year Hi! I’m Erik! I worked in video game PR for three years before moving to Yokohama to study at Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies. After the program, I’m hoping to hop back into video game PR. Thanks for stopping by!

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

I haven’t really said much on everything that’s happened this week, but it’s just been a lot.. My mom is still in the US and I’ve spent a lot of time checking in on her with, just, everything

Happy New Year to the folks on the West Coast!

Gotta say, spending new years in Yokohama is pretty dang nice

It’s 10:00 PM here in Tokyo on the 24th of Dec, so you know what that means

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

Flute Guy out here like

This is the most excited I’ve been for a Star Wars thing in a long time lmao

Wait, you opened the show by saying how cool the indie scene is rn but then put the best indie award during the pre show?

I couldn’t stop thinking about Pragmata after I played it at TGS, so I can’t wait for it to finally come out

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.

Sorry what do you mean FFXV came out 9 years ago….

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.

Do any moots own the pulse explore earbuds? Im considering pulling the trigger on them since my current headset is falling apart rn lol.

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.

This might be more coherent than the emails I'm reading today. youtu.be/bSpBlk7J4rk?...

me watching trailers for video games

There’s an online queue right now for Suica Penguin merch rn lol

I hate this joke, more and more, every single year.

Things have been busy in Yokohama / Tokyo, but I’ve made sure to still look around and have a bit of fun.

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.

First time back to Enoshima / Kamakura after six years and it’s just as beautiful
