It's post time! It was recently announced that the Vtuber and web comic creator Merryweather will be added to Blush Blush! I'm very excited about this, since I've been a fan of Merryweather and Blush Blush for years now. This is the first official character collaboration that I know of, and Merryweather himself will be providing the voice for the character. The character will be based on his Vtuber model, as well. This was an unexpected collaboration, but I'm very happy it's happening anyways. The character will be called Merry, and he'll be available through a purchasable bundle. For anyone else who may be as excited as I am, here's an official picture of what he'll look like in the game. Enjoy!

 New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the DIY recipes in Animal Crossing New Horizons. DIY recipes are necessary for being able to craft and customize certain objects and food in the game. However, you can get duplicates often, which makes it nearly impossible to get all of them. There are also seasonal recipes, and some recipes that only show up on special tour islands, like the glowing moss recipes. Personally, I think if everyone on your island knows a recipe, you shouldn't get duplicates anymore. The game knows what you do or don't have, so giving you the same recipe anyways is frustrating. If you already have a recipe, you should get the crafting materials instead; which is what they do for some seasonal DIY recipes that the villagers can give you. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Since other popular things from the early 2000's have been making a comeback, I'd like to talk about another popular thing for newer fans. But unlike the other things I've talked about, this one does belong in the anime community. That thing, is Nyan Cat. Although Nyan Cat is pixel art, it became very popular in a lot of online communities. But in the anime community, it was because Nyan Cat brought a Vocaloid song outside of the community. The song used for Nyan Cat was a cover of a Hatsune Miku song. Most people don't know that, but it was one of the first times a Vocaloid song made it outside of the usual fan base. Nyan Cat never really faded in popularity, and now there are a lot of different versions of Nyan Cat on the internet. As always, I'll be including a picture of Nyan Cat below. Enjoy!

It's post time! Ever since the Character AI drama happened, I haven't really been using the app. But since there's been a few updates, I decided to go back and give an honest review about the changes. It is staying in character more regularly, and it isn't repeating itself as much either. It's also talking more, which was a big complaint. However, for some reason the Go On feature and the Generate Again feature are pretty much useless now. If you try to go on, it doesn't continue the conversation. Instead, it just replies to your message again. It does occasionally continue correctly, but for the most part it doesn't. And when you try to create a new reply, it just rewords the same reply over again with barely any changes, which is exactly what Janitor AI does as well. Maybe they're using similar models now. There are also way more ads than there used to be, and the ads often kick you out of chats because they're long ads that don't let you skip them. I have no idea what's going on with the platform right now, but I hope these are just bugs and they'll get fixed soon. A lot of fans have already left for different platforms, with the most popular substitute being Janitor AI. But don't get your hopes up, because that has a paid membership feature now too; which is exactly how Character AI started their downward spiral. The most I can say is, if you like Character AI, just keep complaining about things to the developers. They are listening and trying to fix things, so don't give up just yet. Hopefully this will all be fixed soon, and then it'll be like nothing but a bad dream for all of you AI addicts. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about routes in Date Everything. Much like other games in this genre, choosing different options will get you different endings. But unlike most dating sims, Date Everything actually has three routes for every character. These are the Love, Hate, and Friendship endings. Hate endings are achieved by either failing to help a character with their problems, or by refusing to be just friends with them at the end of their route. Love or Friendship endings can be achieved by successfully completing a route and then choosing to either date the character, or stay friends with them. Sometimes picking the wrong options will make it so you finish a route successfully, but can only be friends with the character and nothing else. You can change a Hate ending to a Friendship ending, but you can't change a Hate or Friendship ending to a Love ending. I think this is the thing that bothers me, because sometimes it isn't obvious what you did wrong to get the ending in the first place. But for the most part, you can usually at least achieve a Friendship ending if nothing else. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the game Cup Heroes. This game is free to play, and can be played on mobile, computer, or console. This game is a standard combat wave game where you defeat enemies to reach the end of the chapter. Each chapter end will have a short story cutscene for you to watch, and you can get a new power up after each wave to prepare for the boss at the end. Each power up is chosen from your standard deck, and you buy them with the balls you earn by defeating monsters. You don't get very many after each wave, but you can put them through multipliers to increase your rewards to buy higher level cards. Some cards can even be bought more than once to stack their power. You start out with one hero, but as the game progresses, you can unlock more heroes, gear, and even pets to help you on your journey. If you fail a chapter, you still keep everything you earned up to that point, which means you can continue to unlock more things and level up your heroes even if you get stuck on a level. I recommend this game, and I've been having some fun playing it. The game uses a pixel art style, but the models used for the chat boxes and hero upgrade sections are clearly anime inspired. As always, I'll be including a picture of the game below. Enjoy!

It's time to post! Recently, there have been a lot more games and animations with the anime art style. Even though anime used to be a small community, now it's everywhere. This is a good thing for anime fans, but it also means a lot of other things that aren't anime get pulled into the anime fandom. This happens when people make animations or fan art for other things in the anime art style. It can be difficult to know what is and isn't an anime, and a lot of the popular things in the anime fandom aren't even from Japan anymore. With so many fans of other things and so many things other than anime in the community, it's getting hard to tell what anime even is anymore. I know this happens a lot because some people don't like anime, but like the art style. This isn't fair to real anime fans though, who are just trying to find more people to share their interests with. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
