Oh yeah that’s unnecessary and dated by today’s standards.

What springs to mind is, Link wears cheerleaders outfit and other typically female gendered outfits

I have no clue, but I also live in a PAL region. What differences were there?

I really like the badge motif of Japanese N64 box art

They’re all reels or like vertical videos on music streaming I guess.

Our public broadcaster has a longstanding music video program that runs weekly. I miss when music videos had such an impact on our lives.

I forgot about:
Bridge Dog - Auto Fictions
New Phono - Troubleshoot The Rain

Music is a little more local;

Julia Why? - Dust Suspended on a Sunbeam
The Electorate - By Design
Merpire - MILK POOL
Beth and Blue - Take It All
Tease - Dead Night Drive
Jack Ladder - Separation Rock

International:
Stereolab - Instant Holograms on Metal Film
Cate Le Bon - Michelangelo Dying

Happy to listen to recent titles like Star Wars: Outlaws, as long as they’ve recently arrived to Switch 2.

My favourite games of this year is Wild Hearts S, Persona 3 and Kunitsu-Gami

Understand where you’re coming from in discussing these titles though, just passing on my thoughts.

‘Kata’ - Kate NV. And straight into ‘80s inflected Russian electro-pop. Always fascinating the music of one's youth being reinterpreted and reinvented by a new generation.

Dad bought my a copy of Friends for Christmas. I rate some of the post-Pet Sounds releases, Sunflower might be my favourite, Friends could be my second.
