Song of the Week! 18 October 2025

 

Just like a certain Dinosaur Story for the silverscreen, we're back! In order to pick up the (health-ridden) slack, here's a double header coming from this very Summer.

From the start of this month, details have been gradually released for the World Score Attack @2025, the upcoming worldwide arcade event that was first announced during last month's official livestream. Now that everything has been laid out, one tidy post is here to sum it all up!

[SITE] - About the Recent Drop of Blog Updates

Hi there, a brief post about an ongoing personal issue that has been hindering me in everything as of late, extending of course to blogkeeping-related tasks.

Without boring you too much with estensive medical talk and such, I've got a severe lumbar hernia since the first half of September, making a challenge for me to stand or even sit for a while without massive backpains on my end. This is also reflected on my more recent post activity on the blog stopping at a round that date, only copy-pasting the few Song of the Week posts I've prepared in advance.

While this incovenient situation for me is still ongoing, I've found an alternate setup for me to go on with posts on the blog, starting by picking up the few news-worthy content already covered in our social media (namely, the Walhap eSports Championship and the upcoming Donderful/Rhythm Festival online tournament) and eventually going back with regular blog features and such. It's still too early on me to determine whether or not this will affect the chances of a December blog event in the spirit of the past years, but I'll keep you posted on the prospect either way. Still, my apologies on the prolonged time lapse since these issues started popping up.

See you soon.
