What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, August 25th, 2025. A brand-new week! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I had an amazing time playing Hogwarts Legacy, and it was wonderful. I want to play THE MAN WHO ERASED HIS NAME (RGG STUDIO, SEGA), but I’d like to livestream it. In September, I will be able to. I had a big surprise that I may attend an Oasis Reunion Tour in Los Angeles, unfortunately, I don’t even have $20 in my pockets, therefore, unless I receive my $800 monthly allowance which I have not received in a year, I refuse to go. I will stay in Sacramento, and look for a business partner to help me buy my first new car ever and document it. Maybe John Lau, PikachuPcar will be willing to help. I want to do what I can to help him get that FUJIWARA TOFU BISTRO back up and running. And for that, I need a new car, and I need a gas card.
