I am a fairly social person, so the isolation of quarantine during this pandemic has taken quite a toll on my mental health at times, particularly after the events of the summer. Unfortunately, by the end of the summer, I had discovered their unfaithfulness and decided to end the relationship. This past summer after I finished school and came home to quarantine while applying for jobs, we reunited and spent the whole summer together, relishing the warmth together that we had so sorely missed over the previous 4 years. It was so difficult at times, but we knew that seeing each other during breaks made the loneliness worthwhile, and we tried our best to support the other's individual journey/aspirations despite the emotional sacrifices that often coincided. ![]() One of the recurring themes in our conversations about the health and sustainability of our relationship involved our willingness to wait for each other. Then, for 4 years throughout university, I was in a long-distance relationship with my best friend. In elementary school, I heard it so many times while playing Katamari Damacy with my oldest sister on our PS2, where I was blissfully ignorant to the lyrics and instead jammed hardcore to the rhythm and melodies. This song evokes such vivid memories and feelings. Shall we meet again next month at that place? These warmly embraced feelings dance in the night skyĪnd rapidly plummet and arrive at your feet, so Until you're done, I'll be waiting here always The thoughts that I've embraced roil and dance in the night skyĪll of a sudden I want to lend a hand, to deliver myself by your side ![]() Until you're finished, throughout it all, I'll be here waiting for you Which are your favorite balls from the early ’00s?

Lord of Bork returned with a borkin’ sick video premiere: “Oh, Deep is the Ploughing of Grief…”: They Grieve’s To Which I Bore Witness IGoM ploughed us with his review of They Grieve: Know what I never complain about? Excellent Toilet content. Well, happy about something, actually, because the successor We Love Katamari has received a similar treatment and is due to hit Steam (and the Switch) in early June. Guess that’s how you know you’re a gamer-never happy with anything. On the other hand, the faithfulness extends so far that not a single quality of life feature has been implemented, and the price tag is kinda steep. The remake Katamari Damacy Reroll brought the game to the PC for the first time (afaik), graphically enhanced but otherwise utterly faithful to the original, which is great to see in this time of shitty ports and awful remakes. It’s absolutely ridiculous and the soundtrack slaps. Gameplay hits a sweet spot between relaxing and challenging as you roll the Katamari through conveniently cluttered levels where you work your way up the size scale from stuff like pins, cutlery, and hamsters until you’re big enough to roll up people, then houses, then entire continents. If you’re unfamiliar with this highly entertaining franchise, here’s the gist: a Katamari is a ball that rolls up anything and grows as it does so. I was therefore happy to learn that one of my favorite early 2000s games, Katamari Damacy, had received a remake quite a while ago that is available on Steam. ![]() My gaming selection is limited by pretty mediocre hardware, meaning I’m usually playing indie stuff or older titles.
