Note: Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai has not finished scanlating at the time of this writing. That in mind, note that my overall reflection of the piece’s quality may change (slightly) upon the release of the final chapters. With 79 of 81 chapters released, however, any major feelings are unlikely to change. Continue reading “Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai – Solitude’s Strengths (and Weaknesses)”
90 hours. That is the amount of time I have spent on Fire Emblem: Three Houses since receiving it on July 30th. Mathematically, this would mean I have averaged (not including today) 8.2 hours per day dedicated to playing this game. It would not be hyperbole to say that this title has destroyed my motivation to indulge in other interests. Three Houses has become something of a very special experience to me, every aspect considered. What better way to come back from a near-month-long (not planned) hiatus from the Visualist’s Veranda than with a post dedicated to highlighting my thoughts on a game that has thrown me completely off my typical routine. Continue reading “A Long, Spoiler-rific Gushing of Fire Emblem: Three Houses”
The title is not wrong. I meant to write this a couple days back, but couldn’t. Plus, the benefit of hindsight is that I can further add to the experience with recent progress. I’ll note that as I go along. Continue reading “My Day in Gaming – July 19th, 2019”
(Disclaimer: This post will continue as though one is adequately familiar with A Robot Named Fight!. For those unaware, feel free to check out my (albeit outdated) review of the game here, where I go over the basic foundation of the game.) Continue reading “Thoughts on A Robot Named Fight! (Big Wet Update)”
I have been pretty vocal about my dismay with the current direction of Pokémon. Ever since X & Y, I have gradually (but ultimately) lost the armor of passion that the franchise once gave me. The company seemed dead-set on flair and bravado with no substance. Mega evolutions and legendaries and saving the world from unspeakable evil… oh my, was it tiring and boring.
Upon the announcement of a 15-minute Direct showcasing new info on Sword & Shield, I had low expectations. I expected the chain to continue and for the series to be more about “TEH EPICZZ!¡!!” than going around and simply indulging in the simple pleasures of catching and battling. It was inevitable.
So what the hell happened? I’m actually excited for the new games. Continue reading “Thoughts on the June 5th Pokémon Sword & Shield Direct”
Everyone, it has happened. I’ve been waiting for this day… for too long. Tonari no Kashiwagi-san has finally finished its scanlation thanks to the aid of one brave Spanish reddit user named “u/desdnt.” This man(?) has no idea the impact he(?) has made on my life upon the release of the last chapters of this manga. This is my salute to them, as a fellow human being and a peruser of pixelated pictures online. Thank you. Continue reading “HUZZAH! TONARI NO KASHIWAGI-SAN HAS FREED ME FROM ITS KAWAII CLUTCHES!”
I could name this post “Updated Thoughts” just because this is the third time I’ve seen this series, yet I don’t have any formal post on it anywhere on this blogsite. Lord knows I’ve referenced it enough times, regardless. Continue reading “Thoughts on Katanagatari”
