Rated in Brazil: Going to be a long month. Any bets on where it'll get rated next? -
Yeah, definitely! The PS2 games are a total mess in terms of publishers, in Europe they were split between Ubisoft, Crave Entertainment, Metro3D, Agetec, Indie Games Productions, and 505, and the situation was only a little better over in the US in terms of the number of publishers in the mix. This is a good sign though I feel, and From Software are in such a good spot these days that I wonder if they've spoken to previous publishers (where possible?) about getting them back under their wing outside of Japan; might be an odd thing to bring up, but they did buy the rights to Elden Ring back from Bandai Namco, so I don't think it would be impossible to think they might do the same for some of their legacy titles? But, yeah, I'd love for them to come over simply because some of them cost a small fortune (last I checked Last Raven was around £200) – mentioned it in the PS+ thread but I've been weighing up doing a deep dive into the series after loving VI so much, but Armored Core on PS1 costs a fair bit now (I've been back on forth on picking it up several times over the last 12 months), we never got Phantasma or Arena meaning I wouldn't be able to move save data forward or experience those games, the PS2 games can be expensive, etc., so this would be perfect for me and finally allow me to do so! Hopefully these come with some decent button remapping options because I remember these PS1 games were designed without the analog sticks in mind (don't think they used them until Nexus I think it was?) and can apparently be a bit of a pain to play because of that. Might mean I finally get to use the infamous Armored Core grip More selfishly, I also hope it means two other things: 1. The next Armored Core ain't that far away – while the franchise has been active, it's never gone more than 2 years between releases! From Software is in a very different place now, but with VI having figured out the fundamentals of combat and mission structure, and with Miyazaki not at the helm the entire time and a dedicated team behind it, I wonder if this means we'll see another AC in the next 12 months? I can dream! 2. More From Software legacy ports – outside of AC, I'd love to see King's Field and some of their titles which came out before their breakout success with the Souls games come to the service. Hey, throw in Kuri Kuri Mix for good measure and nostalgia's sake while you're at it!

Sony's quarterly earnings report came out this morning for the quarter ending December 31st 2024 – and PlayStation 5 is performing spectacularly. • 75 million units sold LTD, now just 1.5 million units behind PS4 when launch-aligned. • second best Q3/quarter for PlayStation of all-time in terms of console unit sales – 9.5m (best was PS4 in Q3 2016, during which the Pro and Slim were released). • emphasis placed on diversifying line-up with more family and live-service games, with the success of Astro Bot and Helldivers II highlighted specifically in this slide: • record Q3 revenues and operating profits. • 42% of PS5s sold in the quarter were to new users. • PS5 shipped 20.2 million units in 2024, meaning 20+ million units shipped for two years consecutively. PS4 peaked with calendar year shipments of 19.5 million units in 2016. Curious about those new users – got to imagine it's a combination of Xbox owners coming over and the runaway breakout success of games like Stellar Blade and Black Myth: Wukong in the emerging East Asian markets? Infinity Nikki, too, no doubt. Done all this while having a relatively tepid year in terms of first-party line-up last year...and GTA VI (along with all that lovely GTA Online money) is still to come. If it releases this Fall as they're saying it will, then there's no doubt in my mind that PlayStation are going to have a new record for number of consoles sold in a single quarter, will overtake the PS4 lifetime sales when launch-aligned at long last, and I imagine will pass the 100 million mark for PS5s sold when reporting next year's EOY financials (for the FY ending 31st March 2026). Wild. Yōtei is going to move a good number of units too! Also – that Astro Bot call out! Relegated into the back pages if it was present at all, and now it's the poster child for wanting to diversify their line-up of games, specifically shouting out more family games. Exactly the reaction I wanted to see following it's success – do they have time to bring that aim to life by the end of the PS5's life, I wonder?

I managed to figure it out, was a bad reference from my previous manager. Which I tried to appeal and gave other staff members who could attest to my greatness which was escalated to HR. Their response was to ignore everything I gave them and just go back to the person who gave the reference to begin with, who apparently gave further examples of non-value behaviour, because apparently they only use the names/contacts of those I put on the application portal. I made a data request for all my files, including leave and more importantly, disciplinary files, of which there were none, so I had proof of either innocence on my part, or negligence on theirs. So I applied for another position using a previous manager, got an offer and have made my triumphant return to the NHS, which I am keeping secret from many former coworkers at the moment just on the off chance a certain manager hears and plans some sabotage. -

Now being a bit more serious, or attempting to be, with the music, I've now invested in a tenor sax from eBay. Needs a new mouthpiece but apparently a good deal
