my "name" (internet alias) is vikk, and im a 17 year old guy from south london. i
was born here and lived here all my life, but my whole family is from poland, so i can
speak polish too. i also have pretty limited knowledge on japanese and chinese
from self-teaching.
i guess i dont really have many interests apart
from gaming and music. i have quite a few consoles, like
a ps4, modded 3ds (which i grew up on), switch, a wii (also
a childhood console), and a modded ps vita. in terms of
games, the ones i care about the most are:
- yakuza (duhh...)
- judgment (made by the same studio as yakuza)
- persona
- catherine
- danganronpa
- yttd (yes im a 2020 victim)
- terraria
- sims 4
- doom (for the ps1)
- bayonetta
in terms of music, the genre i listen to currently is japanese heavy
metal (NOT to be lumped in with vkei...) and the artists i listen to are:
- rize (also my favourite band)
- yamaarashi
- brahman
with more to find as i explore the genre (i only began recently).
there are also artists who, though i dont regularly listen to right now, i
used to always listen to and still enjoy the music of, with those being:
- bjork
- marina
- mitski
- arca
- bambee
- aqua
- kuumaa
in addition, i've also been a pretty huge vocaloid fan since about
2018/2019, with my favourite vocaloid being neru and favourite producer
(probably) being masa.
i dont really watch anime or read mangas, but things
ive read/watched are:
- saiki k (watched multiple times)
- madoka
- lucky star (almost fully watched)
- chainsaw man (read up to chapter 15)
- beastars (watched and read it all)
- nge (only watched up to episode 8, but ive watched 3.0+1.0)
some other unrelated interests i have are collecting cds (vinyls
occasionally but its a bit expensive) and (rarely) drawing.
with how obsessed i am with yakuza, you'd think ive been playing it for years, but
i actually only found out about it this year in february. i got persona 5 strikers
for my birthday from a friend, and while playing it, the 8th game "yakuza: like a
dragon" was referenced in the game. since the most recent like a dragon title
was released a little before this, i was vaguely familiar with the series, and using a
gift card i got from my family, i decided to spend it on amazon and got yakuza: like
a dragon.
even though its the 8th mainline game, it features a brand new protagonist,
city, cast, and fighting system (being turn-based), so i wasnt missing much
context. i was immediately hooked onto the graphics, characters, gameplay, and
story. i could hardly bring myself to stop playing after i started. after a month and a
half and 52 hours of gameplay, i managed to finally finish the game, and it was
actually one of the best gaming experiences ive ever had in my
life. i wasted no time buying yakuza 0 and starting it almost instantly.
ever since then, ive been completely obsessed with yakuza, and
now i cant even imagine my life without it. no joke it has got to
be the best game series ever created; the stories and characters
are completely unmatched.
