An indie game dev who wants a Fire Emblem 6 Remake. Sometimes I make dumb blog posts where I talk about the game I'm making or things I like. I also sew... sometimes.

I made a blog post convincing you why you should play "You & Me & Her", AKA the greatest visual novel of all time.

I found an old notebook I had where I would write a bunch of old game ideas I would think up, and found a list of goals I had when I was 15.
One of them was “make a game that will make people cry”.
I was into nakige visual novels before even knowing nakige visual novels were a thing.

I watched the first episode of Adachi & Shimamura...
I'm not surprised I recognise all of these characters' english voices, but that doesn't stop it from annoying me while I try to remember what other character's I remember their voices from.

Sometimes I wonder if Nitro+ made Super Sonico their mascot just to trick people into thinking their games aren’t the most disturbing things you’ll see.

I should take multi-month long breaks from FEH more often. I can just play a few easy levels, rack up a bunch of orbs, and then spend it all on funny characters in cute dresses.

My thoughts on the Nintendo direct:
The new Metroid looks cool. I should play a Metroid game one day.
Oooo, new Kirby.
Overall, eh. Just ok.

Nintendo WILL announce a new Smash game, and these characters WILL be in it. This isn't an unreasonable wish list, it's a leak. Get it right.

I haven’t played Fire Emblem Heroes since April.
Does this make me a fake Corrin fan for not spending all of my orbs on trying to get that cheerleader Corrin from a few months back, or does this make me a mentally stable Corrin fan for not gambling my fictional money away?

I am here to leak that the Zelda Direct happening today will reveal that the visual novel developer Key, the company behind games like CLANNAD and Air, will be working on a new nakige visual novel set in the Zelda BoTW universe.

Remember at the start of April when I said I'd finally watch Love Live Superstar Season 3?
Oh, you don't? Great! That means no one will notice me restart the series because I got distracted and haven't watched an episode in over a month.

I just started playing the original Resident Evil.
I now have a save file where I die in 1 hit, have 2 zombies waiting for me outside the door, and to make things worse, I’m in the room with Rebbeca, who really should be able to heal me but Capcom hates me I guess.

I’m scared that if I don’t speed up reading Adachi & Shimamura any time soon, Tomodachi Life’s going to end up spoiling the story for me.

This is actually pretty in character for Honoka…
Assuming Tomodachi Life takes place between episodes 12 and 13 of the first Love Live season.

Eh. If there's a reason to spread the link to one of my favourite games of all time, then I'd take it!

I needed to use the full name because Nintendo can't see short names.

My 100% serious predictions for Gamescom:
School-Live video game (it’s a classic Resident Evil clone)
Atari announces a remake of Haunted House (it’s also a classic Resident Evil clone)
Adachi & Shimamura video game (there are so many classic Resident Evil clones)
Geoff tries to speak German.

The scary thing about reading Adachi & Shimamura is that I'm pretty sure the English dub has at least 1 voice actress I'd recognise, but I don't remember who they play or which actress it is.
If Adachi shares the voice of some crazy assassin or schizophrenic school girl, I'm gonna scream.
