Schedule & Updates

April 2025

The place to read up on all the stuff I plan on writing this month and what I´m cooking up for the near future in general. As always, the schedule I talk about here is subject to change. Stuff might take longer or things may happen in the gaming space that might take priority. 

Let’s start by looking back at the month. Now that after 5 years I’ve finally hit that original monthly readership goal I set myself another one to work towards. When I started Let’s Talk About… it was quantity over quality. Three posts a week across three topics: gaming, TV/Movies and comics. Over time, it grew into what it is today. I gradually started to post less, a combination of recognizing the poor quality and my free time dwindling. 

I also focused myself on one niche: gaming, the one of those three interests that remained high. I haven’t read a comic book in years but I have always kept with my TV/Movies interest and I know find myself in a position in which I think is a good spot to try and go back to it. 

Gaming remains the number 1 way for me to relax and has truly become the backbone of this blog, but it has its own challenges. It takes a long while to finish and thus review one. My favourite genre is (J)RPGs and a truly classic JRPG can take up to 100 hours. That’s not something you finish in two weeks! That’s why I use ‘How Long To Beat’ so much these days. What games in my collection can I play to keep hitting my biweekly schedule? 

Movies, and even TV shows, on the other hand, take a lot less time. 2-3 hours and you’re done. I can fit those in between my gaming stuff quite easily. That, and just my general interest, is why I decided to actively bring out more series and movie reviews – but also to not wander too far. 

For now, I’m digging through video game adaptations. Those have been on the rise in the last couple of years so there is no shortage of stuff for me to watch and review. Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft – Review was the canary in the coal mine. The positive response to that review told me that it was an avenue worth pursuing. I followed that up in February with the Assassin’s Creed Movie and while March had only game reviews, April might just have two adaptation reviews. 

I have already created a note page for Netflix’s Devil May Cry series. I remember that, around the time of DMC5’s release, a bunch of cinematics of that game made their way into my feed. I don’t know how that happened but I quite liked what I saw. This series will be a more proper introduction to that world for me. Who knows, the series might follow the example set by The Witcher, Uncharted and others. That adaptation, good or bad, moves me into the games themselves. 

Speaking of the Witcher: the 2nd animated movie, Sirens of the Deep, came out a while back and I will be taking a look at that either in April or May. The Witcher didn’t start as a gaming series but that has become such a big part of it that I think it more than counts 😉. 

Rounding out the schedule, we have Fairune II. When I saw the credits roll on Fairune last year I didn’t expect to return to its world so quickly, but here we are. I’ll leave my reasons for that to the review itself. 

Last but not least, I feel like a broken record but the message that more and more people keep finding this little writing space of mine remains. This March, 5 years after I started doing this, I once again had a record month. However, it´s not as big a number as it first seemed. I broke my record by just shy of 10000 readers but looking back at the month, I cannot help but conclude there was some sort of glitch. On March 17th I suddenly had a readership spike of 1800%. That just doesn’t seem right to me even if those numbers are the dream. 

Still, even if I remove one that first digit off that 4-digit number I still have another record on my hands. Yeah, I truly cannot complain! 

That was all I wanted to talk about this time around. As always, thank you all for your continued support. All the stuff I talked about here, my pride in the good readership and me wanting to do more gaming-related media content wouldn't be possible without you. From the bottom of my heart. 

Thank you all for reading!
