On a bad week to have a name that start with "Mar", there's not much attending the joint funeral.

A massive week (as would be expected with the end of calendar Q1 and fiscal Q4) is headlined by, of course, Monster Hunter Rise. Thank heavens I got some extra non-stimulus cash this month because I'm getting into Fire Emblem levels of coinciding purchases (mostly because of an upgraded Pro Controller).... Read more...
