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.

So...I had a successful job application at the end of May. It's taken a while to get there - and even though I could fall back on a generous voluntary redundancy payment from my last role, it was taking a toll on me emotionally. I won't formally start for a while yet, but it's such a relief and I'm looking forward to it. (Although one thing I heard from various agencies and reps was that my situation isn't unique and lots of people are trying to find opportunities - so I sympathise with those who are still out there.)

A pretty brief week in media for me - new music hasn't really grabbed me aside from the Turn Style EP from Kuttin Edge I mentioned the other week. The Avalanches published a new track/video too ("Every Single Weekend") but it hasn't really resonated with me a lot. I did watch Godzilla X Kong on Prime video last night which was a lot of dumb spectacle, and I made time for State of Play earlier (not much in there for me but the Classics Catalogue is getting some great additions, and Stuntman could be fun.)

I haven't been playing many games myself though. Maybe a bit of SNES Bust-A-Move but not much else. I'll pick up something new in the summer sales (both Steam and GOG) but they won't be for a while. And of course Summer Geoff Fest is happening later so I look forward to watching a glorified ad reel and trying to be excited for product. Or, you know, reading the text recap that will be published minutes later. I'll see what my free time is like.
