So, I’ve decided to take a new approach to content creation called “actually posting shit” instead of waiting several weeks until I finish a new review, and then letting traffic die down. It seems to be working thus far, but I often can’t finish a single review in a week unless it’s real short. So, …

Guess what? I didn’t completely forget about this retrospective project!

This week’s VGM is the upbeat and encouraging final boss theme of Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, Go Go Go!
