Keep in mind that just pressing the button once will bring up your menu, but the game will still be running. The game won't pause if you try to change gear or look at your inventory items. If you are looking to change your gear, it's best to wait until you're out of battle or until you come across your next Cube.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
