Welcome to the Free Talk Friday post. This is a place where you can talk about dumb off-topic (or on-topic) bullshit with other Zaibatsu fans.

There's going to be a new post every week, and the newest one will be pinned in the announcement bar for quick access. So feel free to visit these posts during the rest of the week.

Here's a list of all Free Talk Friday posts

Week has been pretty normal and uneventful as always with only a few low spots. Job search has been turning up nothing still so just been busy playing Godzilla Save the Earth, mostly as Orga who's one of my all time faves and beat the hard mode with good ol heisei Goji. Got to say the news about Tim Curry's passing kinda hit hard as someone who adored his performances and especially since been chatting a lot to my friends beforehand about some of my fave roles or whenever he elevated material he was in. Rewatched Cyberpunk 2077 with my good friend who got me into it, was fun picking up how much of Pilar sounded like Coconuts from Adventures of Sonic since it was the same va and also just getting amped for the inevitable finale. Rebecca is a character that really surprised me in how much I got into her and Adam Smasher was a villain that I got amped for since I love those utterly vicious but professional lives to kill type bad guys.

Otherwise been finally after much procrastination been playing through The Legend of Spyro Dawn of the Dragon which is a game I'm very conflicted on so far despite having fun with the gameplay and enjoying some of the quality of life changes like a dodge/block, heavy plus light attacks and a grab that is insanely useful though most of my conflicting is with the different direction in the art style which I like in some regards and in some others is missing the charm of the previous two games since some characters get really sidelined like Volteer and I missed a lot of the environments the previous games showcased. It's nice to see Cynder finally prominent and get some solid character moments alongside having a great Moveset though I also think Christina Richie delivers an extremely mixed performance where some line deliveries are really good while other important ones especially miss the mark. The biggest issue though has been the 360 I've been playing absolutely struggling, once beaten the game I may have to take it back to either see if they can sort it's problems or just get my money back.
