Emma Withington

This is a delightful feature, and Emma is (as always) comically easy to work with. Treat yourself with a very fun read!

It's been a tough few months, but I'm grateful to have lived my best unhinged life for this feature. If you need someone to scribble about Love and Deepspace, I'm available ✍️🏼

TLDR; I'm still around, still making questionable decisions 💌

Thanks for working with me @andybrown202.bsky.social!

Apologies to anyone I haven't responded to or followed up with recently. I've had a headache for three weeks that's being investigated, but I hope to get back on track again soon 💚

Isometric fanart of multiple Majima Everywhere encounters from Yakuza Kiwami. Majima runs into Kiryu in different parts of a Kamurocho street corner in various disguises or hiding spots. Goromi, Hannya-Man, and 24-Hour Cinderella are among Majima's disguises.

KIRYU-CHAN! 🔪✨

YES! I'd also settle for Famichiki, Pocari Sweat, and some Melonpan 😅

InKonbini, the first-person Japanese convenience store sim, changed my perspective on customer service, and you can join me stacking shelves in the free demo Living for the weekday.

I'm looking forward to missing Japan even more when I play inKonbini next year 😅😍

Gomamon plush toy

I've had this Gomamon plush for *shudders* 25 years. So when I'm drawn to it and start busting out the Digimon DVDs, I know I'm definitely not OK 😅

This does help, though!

Volt, the one on the left, definitely gives 'Bowie in Labyrinth' vibes 😅

Might have gone a bit overboard with Steam wishlisting and demo downloading over the last couple of days...

Dune: Awakening's Steam reviews have done a complete 180, climbing the ranks to Very Positive just a day after a player pile-on: ‘This game is great with friends, and lets me live out my fantasy of ge... This is what dreams are made of.

An article from PC Gamer magazine about my experience with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii titled "I have no idea what’s happening, but I'm having the time of my life" A large image at the top of the page depicts Captain Majima posing with his mismatched crew on the beach.

I'm in the latest PC Gamer with an exceptionally silly piece. That being said, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has almost singlehandedly kept me pushing forward over the last few months - it may not be a cure, but damn it's fun.

I'll let you know! Just bought it myself and am looking forward to getting into it 👀 It looks like it has a bit of a Jon Ronson-esque style in its presentation

I had no idea about this! That's wild...

Clearly, it's time to spend my day exploring the Pop-up Pirate merchandise universe.

Waking up and remembering that I spent over the odds on a Pop-up Pirate Majima has me questioning my life choices.

And yet? No regrets.

I have been very unwell these past couple of months, with stuff still ongoing, but I'm thankful I was able to get myself to the PlayStation Concert 💙

Also, Bloodborne was glorious.

Thank you, it's a huge milestone in my life - I'm looking forward to our future together 😅

Things have not been great lately, so I'm looking forward to this virtual getaway 😻

New FFXIV patch - Raids! Story! PvP! What do I do? New Cornservant quest, of course.

FFXIV 7.2 had me at the promise of a new Cornservant quest, but I must also protect this lil' guy at all costs.
