Working on portfolio again

I've been getting back into working on my portfolio again and I think I can finish sometime next month.  I've completed one track so far and I'm around halfway to finishing a 2nd one.  I think I'll have, at most, 1-2 more tracks I want to create before I start looking into things like copyright, distribution, and researching jobs to apply for.  It's been a busy month and, once again, it felt like it just blew by so quickly.

I spent a great deal of time playing through the DLCs of Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet this month.  I expected them to be around 1-2 hours each (so about 5-8 hours max altogether), but I spent around 30 hours by the time I finished.  The levels of enemies were spiking so quickly in the DLC that I finally caved in and switched the difficulty from Normal to Easy.  It was nice playing the game again, but I needed to free up some hard drive space which was why I was trying to finish it up and uninstall the game.  Ghost of Tsushima released a week and half ago on PS4 and so far it's really fun.  I've wanted a Samurai simulator game for the longest time that had quality to it, a fun and authentic combat system, and a feel of a wandering samurai.  While I am enjoying the game a lot, I also need to free up more space on my PC as it was announced today that Phantasy Star Online 2 will be on Steam on August 5th (thank goodness).  I just hope it fixes all the launcher problems and allow me to play the game again after all the trouble Windows Store and Windows Update put me through last month.

I also kind of got back into watching anime again.  I've been trying to make time and fit in an episode or three each day.  I'm just a bit worried that it'll interfere with productivity and distract me.  I've been getting a lot of recommended anime clips on Youtube since I've been looking up clips of anime I've been watching recently, and I've been mainly been distracted by those as it keep recommending me a lot of shows I've never heard of that seems interesting.

I think August will be another busy month with a lot of work.  I'm still really lost and unclear about my future as it seems bleaker than previous years with the way the world is right now.  I'm looking forward to getting more audio work done, regardless.
