A picture of my arm, toasting a goblet of grapefruit soda, in front of a TV running the visual novel game Variable Barricade. My orange cat is observing the soda with great interest.
Having visual novels available portably is convenient and all, but real ones know that *all* novels are meant for luxuriating in the home.

A screenshot from the opening of Altered Alma. A cyborg woman is lounging toward the screen, action distorted into tunnel vision.
A screenshot from the demo of Altered Alma. In a pixel-art-rendered metal room in front of a mechanical cityscape, a grinning purple alien in a pilot's shirt-and-vest is grinning and remarking "Hi, Jack." On the right, a proud robot warrior is posing and deciding whether to reply with a flirty "Let's talk about you, Harry." (denoted by hearts) or a flat "Bye" (denoted by a sigil for an exit door)
A screenshot from the demo of Altered Alma. In a pixel-art-rendered metal room backlit by the soft purple-pink hues of a metropolis, a hologram of a police-tape barrier hovers overhead explicitly noting "BLOCKED for DEMO"
A screenshot from the pause menus in the demo of Altered Alma. Rendered in green, the DATA page holds a subsection marked with a heart, wherein VERA and HARRINO "HARRY" Y'ASTRELLA options are presented. Harry is selected, his purple-skinned visage beaming at the camera. Two out of seven hearts are lit up next to his name.
Altered Alma (NextFest Demo)!
Adore the neon aesthetic and animation style - clearly somebody else played Megaman Zero at a formative time. Bonus points for the diegetic Demo boundaries.
Not sure if it qualifies for #DatingSimMonth, but I'd schmooze up alien rogues between scrounging for biomods.
