新年あけましておめでとう!🎉
I would love a new Persona fighting game.
Or, you know, anything with Persona 1 or 2.
I have 3 goals for 2026:
1. Get a job in J-E localization (freelance or in-house)
2. Consume more JP media in JP (JRPGs, manga, anime, etc.)
3. Attend more fighting game tournaments (locals and majors)
Here's to a new year and I hope I accomplish these goals! 🎉
Thank you for an amazing 2025!!
This year I was given so many wonderful opportunities that helped me realize what I really wanted to draw, and I truly felt that the struggles I have faced over the years have become essential experiences that led me to who I am today!!
Thank you always!!!
Looks like the two major tournaments I'm going to next year are gonna be Combo Breaker and CEO.
I wanna try and squeeze in a third one but I don't think I have the funds for that.

So is the rollback netcode for Daemon Bride: ADDITIONAL GAIN any good? Cause I really can't be playing a fighting game with bad netcode in the big 2025-2026.

Yeah, this game is peak.
It sucks for all the dedicated players who's spent years with their accounts.
But as someone who has only played Granblue Versus and Relink, this is a great opportunity for me to experience the main game and to actually get to know the story and characters.
Finished Tales of Rebirth! Such a beautiful game. The gameplay, the art, the story, it was all fantastic!
Being able to play this game, which never released in the west, made all those hours of learning JP worth it!
Also, Veigue best boy.
Thinking of playing Final Fantasy VI next!
A screenshot of Percival wearing his Knight of Passion costume in GBVSR (he's also wielding a baseball bat).
Finally finished the battle pass and got the costume for Percival!
He's perfect 😭

A spider graph of the kinds of games I spent the most time in 2025: -Hunting -2D Fighter -Card Battler -3D Fighter -Fighting -Rhythm
I need to pick up MonHun Wilds again especially after the latest update. I also wanna get back into rhythm games but I don't know which one to focus on.
Unfortunately, I kind of gave up on 3D fighters but I'll definitely give the new VF a spin when it comes out.
Zawa's Steam Replay for 2025. 20 games played. 129 achievements. 1,399 play sessions. 9 new games. Most played games (by % of playtime): 1. Umamusume: Pretty Derby 2. Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising 3. Monster Hunter Wilds 4. Under Night In-Birth II: Sys-Celes 5. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
A lot of those sessions were me booting up and labbing something out in training mode. Also, Umamusume.

He's so hard to play for me 😭

The Game Awards was pretty nice this year! A lot of game announcements I was excited for with a few unexpected ones.
I know people bag on the show for being a 4-hour long series of ads but I enjoy learning about games even in genres I don't play.
