Playing Metroid Prime (Remastered) again. This time planning on finishing it.
Love the environments, and the level design in general.

It's always the games I have close to zero interest in that end up being the most popular 🤔
*Update* It's actually 12.4 million: www.gematsu.com/2026/01/arc-...
For some reason, the English press release only stated 12 million, while the Japanese press release is a more specific 12.4 million. The game also achieved a record high of 960,000 concurrent players this month.

So many language-oriented YouTubers say that the "point" of language learning is to communicate/talk with people. I kind of hate this sentiment, because different people have different goals.
I think my life has become so much richer just by being able to *understand* English and Japanese.

I don't really do New Year's resolutions, but I do have something I definitely want to do this this year: to draw a ~10 page short story comic.
I already have most of the script, and rough drafts for pages 1 and 2 done, so off to a good start ✏️

Back in Tokyo 🗼
Currently realizing that 1,5 days is clearly not enough to recover from the jet lag (on top of not being able to sleep on a plane for 13+ hours).
Gotta plan my next trip (whenever that may be) with this in mind.

Finished SANDA season 1.
Interesting worldbuilding, and a unique take on Santa Claus for sure. Tonally a bit all over the place, but that's part of what makes it unique, I think.
Also, the show can get quite serious when it wants/needs to, which I did appreciate. Might jump on to the manga.

Literally the best PvP game I have ever played. Not going to pretend to understand why it didn't get the love it deserved. Just sad to see it end.
Please, somebody take this core movement and combat system and make something with it.
And good luck for the future, Theorycraft 🫡

A short, unconventional escape room experience. You are the candidate. You must find a way out of this room. Things are not as they seem.

PSA:
Apparently someone called "Jay Marksman trading as GamesMM Studios" is/was selling some sort of asset flip AI versions of popular indie games on Playstation.
This is *not* me. I don't know who they are, and I despise whatever they are trying to do.
