4/24/16: Slightly Triggered and Hyper

WHATS UP PEOPLE
It's time once again to go about my crippling home stuck tendencies! Follow me!

I'm making a game. I'm not supposed to show it, but here's a saucy first look!

As you can see, development is really coming along! However, this project can't possibly be completed without some money being thrown at it, so please throw your hard earned money my way!

I don't have a kickstarter, if you could start that for me as well that would be swell.

This week I neglected social matters and went straight to vidja games; this is starting to be a habit of mine, and I fear that in the event I go missing from being captured in someone's rape dungeon, no one will actually inform any kind of law enforcement. I need to go outside every once in a while.

This week, I played and finished a couple of titles.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD being one of them.

The whole point of my escapade is to mill over all the games that Steam has trapped me into buying. What's that? I'm just avoiding responsibility? Choke on this wet towel I found sitting in my toilet and rethink that statement! Steam has inadvertently and strategically timed their sales. It was in my moment of mental weakness, after hours of toiling over my report, I saw it. 25% percent off if you preorder now! Also here's a printable sucker sticker. HOW COULD I RESIST. No circle in hell had such a coy ploy, which objectively all but wallet Jesus would succumb to. I am merely human. Also sure yeah it's my fault, I admit it.

The game also starts in ruin. In the middle of war between neighboring countries, a misunderstood misanthropic character loses his only friend in the world. Unfortunately for him, he cannot remember it for some reason. Some kind of plot device is blocking the memory of dead ones from being remembered. I'mmm not entirely sure why. Suppose to be some meaning for it or something, I don't know. Anywho, the story is sort of poo so I don't care for it.

Type-0 is in my opinion one of the most fun Final Fantasies in terms of gameplay. Probably because it derives itself from the core gameplay the most? Honestly, besides names, it's hardly Final Fantasy. Call it anything else, and you wouldn't even notice. Jap Pop Sim 2016, Hair Gel Misfits, We're in School and Adults are Making Us Fight Their War. Anything. It would probably benefit from just being an entirely different IP altogether.

The HD part is nice, though. The PC version comes with the ability to stop time mid-anything and play with the camera. I'll leave that to your imagination, but upskirts.

Anywho, despite obscure, wierd storytelling (you have to go to main menu and watch/read History), rushed, weird pacing, and honestly lack of character development in all 8 of it's chapters, this game is still fun. Was it worth using 37 hours of my life to finish this? I'd rather not think about it. Was it worth the time and effort to write about it? I wish I this thought didn't pass me.

Try it out, it's on Steam. If you have lots of free time to enjoy a relatively shorter action JRPG, try it out. Oh, it also has one of my favorite tracks from a FF game.

 I should start being a more optimistic human being I think. Or not.

Probs one of the neater games I finished.

If you're not into the whole pixel art everything i am indie scene thing, you might throw up. Voilently.
This game is very, very pretty. Although my FPS tanks sometimes (??), the pixel art is fluid and the color palette came straight out of a rave from the 80's. You've got your standard worlds, though. Ice world, water world, forest world, and desert hot world. However, in this rather large span of a mock country is lore. Stories, left to imagination. Pretty neato since it was all conjured with well placed item or skeleton or two. Bravo level design.

Oh! Level design. One of my favorite parts as well.

Not only pretty, but very fun to traverse. There are hidden nooks and crannies, invisible platforms, and passable barriers that make exploration a hoot. There are at least several times in the game where I felt like I finally found Wally wearing a camo suit in a sprawling jungle. Like one of those moments.

One of the only problems I had was probs explanation of some of the upgrades. I basically handicapped myself through out the entire game until I hap'd upon it before the final boss. In a way, the lack of instructions leaves the player to do the exploring once more, which is again neato. However, this kind of storytelling/information broking to the player is not good when explaining mechanics, especially important ones like HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. Other than that, bravo.

Anywho, that's it for games this week. I'll talk about the other one next week. I've decided to let it soak a bit more, let the seasonings really get in.

As for my life? I applied to another college. Supposedly guaranteed transfer, so make sure to throw me a hypothetical high five if you read this. Thinking a lot about applying for summer school, but I'm teetering on the decision because it could potentially hurt me and also be a big, fat waste of time.

Get some sleep nerds.

A Big Lubricated Mess

This past week, I've been binge playing a lot of singleplayer games. Metroidvania seems to be the pattern, and the occasional horror game thrown in to lubricate things up. I've started watching the fourth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable. I gotta say, diamonds aren't the only thing unbreakable right now. But that's probs for later.

It's been a week since I finished Osomatsu-san. I haven't felt this much post show hangover in a long time. Actually, ever. I'm hoping a second season rolls around soon or I don't know what I'll do.

I tried messing with this gif/webm uploader to put some other things on this post, but unfortunately it's sort of a big mess so I can't do much with it at the moment, besides upload cute pictures of Ichimatsu.

I am going through withdrawal, and the only way to stem insanity is to rewatch a few episodes. I don't care what show it is, especially gag shows they tend to get stale after a while.

I bought SOMA(Soma?) this week, and I've been putting in some hours to try to finish it by this weekend. Mission failed, but at least it's fun and really interesting.

its cold right?

Besides this, I finished Steins;Gate as well. I wasn't too sure on how I got my ending, but I did some google research and it's apparently because I answered and texted back everyone with the Phone Trigger system. By the way, Steins;Gate is not your conventional visual novel; in fact, you'll find that as far as choices go, there are none to make besides how you interact with your fellow lab mems. Amazing game that is best to go into blind. If you ever decide on reading one visual novel in your life, you may or may not want to pick Steins;Gate. It's nuts.

dududuru

Besides that, it's hard choosing a favorite girl on here. Say what you will, but Mayuri's innocence is the light down the end of the tunnel. Kurisu and Suzuha are pretty good, too, but something about Mayuri's love for bananas and Juicy Chicken Number One really gets my fluids going.

And that's it. I'm getting ready for finals, and finishing up homework, so I'm going to make this one short.

See you next week losers.

Welcome Karamatsu Girls

I spent these last few weeks doing what I consider my normal routine.

• Wake up at 9 in the morning, posing philosophical thoughts about my life like thinking about Dark Souls 3
• Pouring myself a glass of milk while thinking about Dark Souls 3
• Call my friends over to watch a movie, mention Dark Souls 3
• Put on movie for myself, question friendships and watch trailers for Dark Souls 3
• Lie in bed for hours reading ero doujins
• My computer can't run Dark Souls 3
• Buying a gun

And more, but this is a rough sketch of it. I'm starting to see a trend here, and it all involves one thing.

Boy am I super unproductive.

Creating content is a wonderful thing. To be totally honest with you, I'm amazed with myself for keeping up with writing up these articles of my life for 4 months now, it's sort of touching for me. Despite the lack of actual impact on today's society, I can honestly say I'm proud.

Mind you beautiful reader, I am sort of late on the catching up with all the seasons of anime thing. Just a few days ago, I actually finished up two or three really old ones. I'm actually shooting myself for not talking about them already, but the one of the two series are Tatami Galaxy.

Tatami Galaxy probably has possibly one of my favorite art styles in anime ever. I almost turned it down to be totally honest with you. The thumbnail I saw on Hulu had a poor looking eggplant face guy, and it was recommended to me after watching an episode of ErgoProxy. Hulu catching on to my hipster tastes for anime, I checked out a few episodes out of curiosity.

And what a choice I made! The interesting narrative and fun, expressive art style hooked me in. Every episode having it's own color, until the very last episode that ties it all together. I'll be sparse on the details here, but they accomplished a feat a different show attempted but failed concerning a certain detail. Really enjoyable show, story wise and visually as the whole anime looks like an Asian Kung Fu Generation album cover, and it is absolutely amazing.

Check it out if you haven't already, and welcome yourself to the 'I should watched this a decade ago' club! Also consider joining the 'Higher Echelon of Tastes' club otherwise known as 'I'm a fucking hipster' club.

Anywho, on to the next one.

Born out of the gel pens and sketchboards of Japanese animators, a new waifu is born! Yay! Misaki is probably the most faithful girl in animation ever. 

besides this guy

More than anything, I really enjoyed Misaki as a character. Fucking crazy, but what girl isn't amirite? Ahahaha
But really, some of the bits on the show really make you want to hug a Misaki. Seriously, no one deserves her in that show, especially Satou. He's sort of a cunt.
Luckily, Misaki's devotion and need for affection let even Satou win her over. Crap, I'm spilling my feelings again. I'll remember to buy some tampons to clean this up with.
Anywho, the show is very self aware. It shows the darker side of otaku culture and lust, to the point of becoming obsessive. I'm finally seeing otakus like me for what we really are. We are really sad.

Anyways, check it out. Might be something you'd be interested in I guess.

And that's i-

  

I cannot get enough of this show. Greatest show of this decade. Hands down. 

You might recognize these guys. They have definitely blown up recently. What could be so interesting about a show with six of the same guys? So much. From merch to brother pairing doujins, the fandom is spreading, and the Matsuno brothers are king. 

Karamatsu <3 im ordering this

I haven't been this infatuated with a show in a while. I've been typing for 10 minutes about this show, and I still haven't written anything about it. I want to keep it that way. You have to find out for yourself. 

And that's it for this week. I'll try to have another video up by the end of next week. 

Later losers.

Miitomo Miishmomo

There's been a rising trend in the mobile market, and that trend has called itself Miitomo. I have never done this much sitting around and doing nothing deliberately in my life, excluding the times I sit on my rum and play video games all day. I'm a social media twat, meaning I expunge the use of any kind of social media in my life, for it has changed. I blogged and whined about this a couple of weeks ago, so I won't go into detail, here. The miracle of Miitomo is that it actually has me involved. Twitter had my attention for a week, then I sort of forgot it was there for anything besides logging onto websites easily. Facebook I didn't even choose to make; my friend had to make it for me. Even then, I was chose to have a hipsterian attitude and maintained my reluctance.

I might not be saying this later down the road, but Miitomo is thoroughly engaging. I actually enjoy reading people's answers to benign questions. I especially love seeing photos made through the ingame Miifoto app, which lets you pose Miis in different ways, even allowing you to go through your phone's library and making that a background. As you can guess, this is the gateway to all sorts of tumblr esque content, with a few gold pictures here and there.

To be totally honest, I didn't think I would be writing about this today. I try to keep my blogs at a higher class, but it's pretty fun. Feel free to add me if you're reading this.

A game I've been checking out is an MMO called Tree of Savior. Besides the title's english being really broken, the servers, quests, and stat progression is broken as well! I'm glad they're keeping a theme here, else I'd be clueless to the actual plot. Other than all the problems aforementioned, I'm putting a lot of time into it. Found a pretty good group of players already, and they have accepted my social awkwardness! Yayyyyy! Also Rag2, yadda, yadda, it's really pretty, yadda yadda.

Anywho, that's really it for today.

Goals:
Eh

Honestly, I'm just burning myself out with these. I should chill. And I shall.
