Overview
Daniel plays the Japanese demo of Disaster Report: Summer Memories on Nintendo Switch, customizes a female character, encounters earthquake scenarios with collapsing buildings, and subsequently quits, rating the game 1 out of 10 as boring, aimless, and not worth 40 pounds.
Daniel understands the game without subtitles due to fluency in Japanese, observes a cracked tempered-glass screen protector on the Switch, and expresses a wish for Sega to port Jet Set Radio to the console.
Daniel reflects on living in Japan, noting an interest in recording an earthquake, experiencing a typhoon with a power outage, regretting leaving before the pandemic missed an opportunity to record deserted streets, and concluding that living there was boring and depressing due to people constantly wearing suits and ties.
