Sharing some potential highlights from the 2023-24 community rubbish collection schedule. And eventually games. A bit of a catch-up, featuring Pentiment, God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, Live A Live, Hi-Fi Rush and other games that aren't as good as Metal Gear Solid 3. Sorry it's been six months!

Stressing about who to say Good Morning to during the school run. Premature greetings, forgetting how to walk properly, using the wrong language, and ignoring people for various infractions. And eventually games. I power up my PS Vita, talk through some games, and reminisce about Sony's final handheld.

Japan is finally reopening to tourists and I have ten rules that I expect all visitors to follow (WARNING: Contains Sarcasm). Also, eventually games. Non-spoiler discussion of Immortality and other games that I knew next to nothing about before playing and loving them: The Return of the Obra Dinn, What Remains of Edith Finch and The Forgotten City.

Setting up a cashless payment account, test driving a real-life car, dying, and other things I'm putting off. And then, eventually games. Trying my best not to abandon Triangle Strategy and regretting never quite finishing Tactics Ogre. Also, dropping Persona 5 after twenty hours, and giving up on No More Heroes 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.

Waiting for BTS goods in a crowded stairwell in Harajuku, Heathrow madness and eventually games. The legendary launch-day lines for Dragon Quest III, the monumental first three days of Splatoon 3, lining up for Final Fantasy XIII in Akihabara, fighting for a Nintendo DS, and then lots of Tokyo Game Show talk. Memories of previous shows, past embarrassments, cancelled games, and a mini-preview for TGS 2022.

Mastering the art of taking out the rubbish, recycling in Japan, embracing the rules, impressing the locals, and eventually games. Ranking mainline Final Fantasy games, FFXII rancid potions, and not enjoying FFXIV.

The kids are going back to school, my daughter has a phone, and I'm remembering my Nokia 3310. A foreigner pen to stump me, and then eventually games: Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels, Triangle Strategy, PS Vita, Vagrant Story and my Tokyo Game Show press pass.

A blacksmith, my Dad, a story that doesn't go anywhere, and the power of nostalgia. And eventually video games: Mega Sg, SEGA, Desert Strike, Road Rash 3, the price of a Playstation 5 and a generation struggling to get started.
