That was not worth pulling an all-nighter for...

Wowwwww…that was even worse than I thought it was gonna be.
Like that may have genuinely been one of the most dull Directs I’ve ever seen.

I will admit that the pessimist in me is not SUPER excited about the Partner Direct tomorrow.
I'm just wondering exactly how much of it is just going to be "Games that already exist, but now on Switch 2!" which is...sorry, not that exciting for me.
I'm hopeful for some genuine surprises though.

GODDAMMIT, ATLUS!!!
I'm standing by a possible Atlus announcement just based on their recent patterns. For the past four years, Atlus has revealed their summer game during an early year show, only one of which wasn't at a Direct.
Could be something new. Could just be an announcement of Metaphor or P4R for Switch 2.

Okay, so I may do something that I have NEVER done before and just hire someone to do my taxes for me this year. Usually I’ve got like two forms to worry about, this year I’ve got six and some are like government stuff. I ain’t risking committing tax avoision on this.

FiGGYZ sent me wave 2 of the Metaphor ReFantazio characters, so I'm just going to smile and nod and pretend I know who any of these characters are

I love all genders🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Because I have no gender.
Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety.
Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love?
Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?

B.B. was the very first character designed for this project and I'd held off on showing his Persona for quite a while, but I absolutely love how he turned out.
Thanks as always to @frogfairy.bsky.social for doing such incredible work bringing my characters to life!
