"You won't know what hit you"

I always feel sliiiight hesitancy when I contemplate writing another blog entry because I’m always under the impression I have to write loooooads, but if I don’t restrict myself to excess then it becomes more appealing to type away. So: I won’t feel guilty for writing shorter paragraphs now. In truth: I needed to occupy myself to give me a purpose today that wasn’t sitting around and feeling sad. 

I finished Judgement last month, and going from PS2 RGG studio games to their recent releases with Like a Dragon and Judgement really shows how much more adept they’ve become with storytelling. The same ambition remains at the heart, and I really respect the continuous drive they’ve demonstrated in sticking to their vision for their craft. I didn’t do that much of the side content because, admittedly, the loading times on PS4 feel way too long so I may get back to it on PS5 one day. But that begs the question: do I play Lost Judgement now on PS4, or way later on PS5??????

                                             

In December I faced abrupt disappointment, and events of similar magnitude occurred this month too. I fared much better this time around, though: it was after the Christmas holidays that I felt a kind of renewed contentment which surfaced without an exact reason. I think that feeling and way of thinking helped keep me afloat in the past week, because without it I’d surely be in an even worse state of upset than before. Thank God for this newfound emotional anchor. 

I started typing up this blog entry three weeks ago, and after leaving it in my drafts for a bit I ended up starting Lost Judgement cause I like Takuya as a protagonist a lot, and detective stories are all of a sudden super compelling to me (okay maybe they’ve always been that way to me, since I love Persona 4 a whole ton after all). It’s a slightly slow start, but that may just be subjective cause I barely have much free time anymore. 

I may shake up this blog a bit and gear it more towards music discussion and review. I still like what I’ve done with the blog so far, but using it just as a diary doesn’t feel like I’m utilising it for its full potential.
