Hi, I'm EGOSHIGO

Pepsiman is a mascot created in 1996, designed to help Pepsi expand into the Japanese market. Pepsiman significantly boosted brand visibility, multiplied product sales, and achieved cult status, especially with its game released on the PlayStation. Of course, these aren't things that can be easily summarized, which is why I highly recommend reading the research I did and the conclusions I reached.

Variety has learned through their sources that Netflix is developing a live-action TV series based on the Persona series. The writer, executive producer and showrunner will be Christopher Monfette, who worked as a writer on Star Trek: Picard, 12 Monkeys, and 9-1-1, and will be co-executive producer on VisionQuest. Shawn Levy and Robert Atwood of 21 Laps—the studio that produced Stranger Things, will also serve as executive producers, along with Story Kitchen’s production studio specializing in video game IP adaptations.

When it comes to Persona, pure perfection is the only thing that comes to my mind. The best games I’ve ever played were from this series. I poured hours into Persona 3, 4, and 5, and to be honest, playing them when I was around 16 or 17 had a huge positive impact on my personality. Let me put it this way: after playing these games, I realized that I needed to be a more social person, that death is a real fact of life, that everyone has their own struggles, and that their ways of coping with those struggles can be very different from mine. This was just a tiny part of it—there’s even more, but I won’t go into too much detail.

So, what's the real problem? Haven't there been Persona live-action series before? Actually yes, there are at least four live-action adaptations as far as I know, but they aren't very popular outside of Japan. What really worries people is the extreme greed shown by Atlus and Sega just to expand the brand.

To be honest, I think seeing more Persona content is actually really cool. But then I remember the awful Dragon Ball movie and that disastrous Death Note live-action adaptation from 2017. I don't think this is the path Persona should follow. If you ask me, what it needed was a prequel anime adaptation, just like Final Fantasy XV did. One season, a few episodes, and a simple preview. I guess I have no choice but to wait for whatever comes out. So, what do you think?

To be honest, dealing with massive petabyte-scale datasets in my projects just isn't my thing. I really don't need the power of an industry-standard cloud giant like BigQuery right now. That’s why my go-to choice is DuckDB. BigQuery is a fantastic system for huge enterprise data, but as a student, when I need to analyze my gigabyte-scale datasets on my own computer, DuckDB offers me a much more practical and 100% free alternative.

Without the stress of entering credit card details or facing a surprise cloud bill at the end of the month, I can simply type into the terminal and quickly query my files using my own computer's CPU power. Handling all my work locally as smooth as butter, without getting bogged down in complex server settings for both my course projects and personal data analysis experiments, is an incredible relief for me. BigQuery is just out of my depth, at least for now. While it's one of the things I’d like to try once I have a steady income, sorry BigQuery, DuckDB is just way too convenient for me

I’ll be using it actively moving forward because making my own data integrations is actually something that really interests me. I plan to share the things I work on throughout this process on my projects page when the time comes.

It’s pretty interesting for an anime to have comedy elements for me. Why? To be honest, Japanese humor isn't really my thing. We can simply put this down to a cultural difference. Characters doing the same thing over and over again just to force a laugh, or explaining every single joke for minutes doesn't make any sense to me. Because it’s just not funny, hope we can agree on that. So, what does Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan or Saiki K. for short do right? It’s simple: it breaks through this cultural barrier. If you’d like to read more, I suggest checking out my review.

I waited so long time for Stranger Than Heaven. This game actually a utopia for Yakuza series fanbase. Some of you guys ask "Why?" and my answer is..

RGG is the one of best game studios of this century. They make great combat, great story, great music and great characters all the time. Unfortunately, some games in the series are black sheeps and nobody can't argue with that. Like Yakuza 3, like Dead Souls.

Yakuza 0 was released in 2015 and published in the West two years later, and Yakuza became extremely famous during those years. The series still maintains its reputation and has a loyal fanbase. If you ask me, the fans, especially those on Reddit, make up the best fanbase you can imagine. In short, I can't help but get excited for Stranger Than Heaven.

Yeah, I'm talking about this game. Capcom, rising star of the game industry, released new IP for the gamers. I want to refrain from making a definitive comment as I haven't been able to play the game yet. There's only one thing I can't understand; why there is a group of people who label those who play this game with disgusting things. I'm not going to tell you what those labels are, of course, but I can tell you that if you spend even a little bit of time on X, you lose your battle against your nerves.

In my opinion, people internalize these kinds of thoughts because they feel unloved and unimportant by others. They can even convince themselves of nonsense like, "The person who plays this game is like this, the person who plays that game is like that." I guess I'll play and see. Oh, I forgot the tell about something. If you ask me, "What's your favorite games?" and I answer that..

Data Science is a one of hobbies of mine. Especially I research datasets, install them and process them on the databases. That's why BigQuery has really caught my attention. Frankly, I'm determined to turn this hobby into a business. I prefer Azure Data Studio for this, but you can prefer MySQL, MSSQL or Oracle. It's entirely up to you. Anyway, I'm still a beginner in this field and have a lot to learn. I'll share updates.
