ended up with like 90 hours, may half of it for the dlc, so the game is doing something right. even if I still cannot say that I like the hyperspace wild zones I do appreciate pokemon trying to make a somewhat difficult game

so finished rayquaza, the mythicals and the side missions; the only thing remaining would be the special scans that I don't think I will do (actually my main objective was to get the rare mythicals, specially hoopa and volcanion for my pokemon home dex).

so grinding the hyperspace is much more tolerable, and having a way of grinding hyperspace berries that doesn't require other hyperspace berries in the first place makes it much more psychologically easy (and I didn't even need to grind berries at all).

Pokemon ZA DLC
i hated the dlc when it came out, but lately playing pokopia and leaf green put me into the mood to try it again, and this time I didn't disliked it as much. it helped that I realized that you there were market berries that could make better donuts,

but also a lot of the characterization and just connecting tissue between the scenes was also left out, so in the anime it does seem like that characters act just because. BUT, as pure spectacle, the anime is truly, well, spectacular, and even elevates the books.

and bought all the books so far and started them, getting just now to the point where the anime finished. and compared to the books, the anime does cut a lot; some of it is lore references that must be all but meaningless for anyone not truly into the weeds of type moon,

Fate/Strange Fake
i used to really be into type/moon, and though I've fallen off of it somewhat still follow any new anime at least. and for this the beginning was night incomprehensible, but around the point of the battle between hansa and jester i went "this is awesome actually"

and a lot of insert songs, and maybe most important of all, they are all such a bangers. specially triad force www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5_Z...

Princession Orchestra
honestly my favorite thing from this last year. it's fun all through, with even a lot of small visual gags, but also has nice battles and takes seriously its setting and concludes with a grand finale that completely changes the world.

some japanese media I finished recently #anime #pokemon

this is a video about the internet. this is a video about Saihate no Ima YouTube video by Amelie Doree

New video!

In 2005, a visual novel was released that predicted that the internet would become a tool of control and disempowerment. It predicted that social media would turn us against each other.

It's also completely and utterly unhinged.

Let's talk about Saihate no Ima.

rounding the team with the starter venusaur and a ninetales which also have never actually used before, they are ocasionally useful but feel that the above three could manage most everything
...or so I thought but the elite four was surprisingly though #pokemon

also have been playing leaf green now that it was out in the switch
I now remember why I always used abra when I played this
this time also went with golem and starmie which have been also huge

fnisihed the pokopia main game! still a lot of stuff I can do but that was pretty fun
and the ending was surprisingly poignant
huge apocalypse hotel vibes from the whole thing
guess I will now try to fill the dex and maybe build some underground city or something #pokemon

Yorhel has passed away

He was known for running vndb, a website he created back in 2007

The moderation team is working to preserve the website but cannot provide details at the moment

and it's not helped with the characters being too abrasive at first
it gets better after the three start living together, but to the end didn't warm up much to aoko
alice is goated though

so the other day I finished mahoyo, and honestly can't say that I cared a lot for it
presentation is spectacular yes, and actually most of the individual components are good, with many pretty good scenes, but as a whole is too longwinded for the story is trying to say

finished mahoyo, and have more to say, but first comment is that
touko > aoko

crisis averted, break out the booze

nooooooooooo the labyrinth of touhou tri latest update has nerfed the dungeon design because players were too negative about this.

i've moved the game out of the steam client. it's unfortunate that i won't be receiving performance updates, but ugh i can't recommend the game now.

Finished Labyrinth of Touhou Tri on Lunatic. A masterpiece of JRPG design and imo the best Touhou fangame ever. The dynamic combat system and highly varied bosses it allows for are the highlights, but the dungeon crawling and farming are addictive in their own right.

afterwards my plan is to get to the tsukihime remake, and then face the final boss: get back to fgo
I had played up to lb2 (though didn't actually read that one), and had a pretty strong account (for a non whale at least) at that point, so it shouldn't be too hard, right? right?

also had started mahoutsukai no yoru, but there's something peculiar there where I find all the individual parts good (I mean presentation is as gorgeous as everyone says), but as a whole I don't feel anything
though I do feel that I'm just getting to the main meat of the thing

watching the fate strange fake anime made something I didn't thought would be possible: want to read type moon stuff again
so I bought all the released volumes of fsf and started reading them

may also start the strange fake novels, I have really liked what is out of the anime so far
or even get back to fgo (shudders)

recent talk of fsn in discord put in the mood to get back to type moon actually so started mahoutsukai no yoru
I had bought it close to release I think but it was so long that the voiced version came out before I could get around to it

now started dqv but already got bored lol
though starting it gave me enough motivation to hack my ds
i had bough all dq games for ios but playing on the phone kind of sucks

probably not a hot take but I liked it, I think I was just in a mood for an 王道 jrpg with a somewhat open world
beat also the secret boss, and though the 6th chapter is cute and all I honestly think it finishing in the 5th would be more interesting

finished dragon quest iv, that I had started like a trillion years ago but was always getting bored a bit in
but this time managed to get to the 5th chapter when it got interesting
