It's post time! Although crafting is easier than ever in Animal Crossing New Horizons, there's still a lot of other things that need work. Firstly, gathering the materials is incredibly tedious. It's boring, it takes too much time, and it takes even longer because the tools break. Then you have to either buy new tools, or make new tools. but to make tools, you need crafting materials, so the cycle continues endlessly. Along with this, you still can't buy multiple items at once. No, buying in bulk doesn't count. Every other game gives you a slider so you can choose how many items you can buy. But Animal Crossing hates you. No slider bar for you. It's so frustrating, and I wish they would just fix these things. But they refuse to fix these things, and I don't know why. They refuse to give people basic game mechanics and they expect us to just accept it. I don't think even the next game will be better because honestly Nintendo just doesn't care about what you want. 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! Recently Pokemon fans have been saying the phrase "every Pokemon is someone's favorite". But nobody has said what this means, they just assume other people will know what they mean. So for anyone who may be confused, I'll be explaining it today. There are over a thousand Pokemon now, but there are a lot more Pokemon fans. This means every Pokemon will be loved by someone. Of course you usually see the most common Pokemon, like Pikachu or Eevee. But if you ask a large group of Pokemon fans who their favorite Pokemon is, you'll almost always get a different answer from everyone. For example, I like all of the Eevee evolutions, but my favorite Pokemon is Umbreon. Umbreon may be a popular Pokemon, but it's still not as popular as other Pokemon. I also like the less popular Pokemon Pumpkaboo. There are just so many Pokemon to choose from that everyone has someone they like. That's why Pokemon fans say "every Pokemon is someone's favorite". But, that's all I'll say about this topic. Regardless, I hope it helped anyone who was confused. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently the Status AI app has been getting a much needed update. Some people who use the app are now getting five free daily energy points, which refills at midnight every night. Eventually everyone will get this, but at the moment it's just random. As it happens, I was one of the ones randomly chosen a few days ago. So, I'd like to talk about it. Firstly, I really like the amount that we're getting at the moment even if it's only five. It's enough to keep the daily streak alive, at least. But along with this, I've been getting more free bonus energy through ads too. I think it may be part of the update, but I can't be sure. However, using energy uses your daily energy first, which means you can build up your bonus energy without touching it.  I like the way this was done, since it means you can use up your daily energy to prevent any wasted points. This app still isn't perfect, but this is a big step in the right direction! Regardless, 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 the upcoming game The Witch's Bakery. This game has been delayed until October 14th, but many people are still looking forward to it. It's going to be a cozy game where you manage a magic bakery during the day, and build relationships and explore the town after the bakery closes each day. Then at night, you'll be able to improve your skills. You'll play as a witch named Lunne in the city of Paris, and each day you'll be able to make baked goods that can help heal the hearts of the customers. Even though the game was made by a French company, the art style is very similar to anime; and a lot of people say it reminds them of Studio Ghibli. Even though the game has been delayed, I'm also looking forward to its release in two months. Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Those who watch a lot of anime and read a lot of manga will be familiar with the Japanese school uniforms. They're typically the sailor style serafuku for girls, and the military style gakuran for boys. Although it's common to see real Japanese students wear uniforms in both public and private schools, these days the uniforms are different from school to school. They could have different colors, or different styles entirely. Despite this, these traditional uniforms are still the ones seen in media. They're the most easily recognizable, and if you see a character wearing a school uniform, you can automatically tell they're a student. This is why these uniforms are still used in anime and manga. I wanted to talk about this for newer fans, or for fans who didn't know why these uniforms were used in anime. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Yesterday I talked about the Status app for people who didn't know about it, but I didn't get to talk very much about why fans have been turning against it. So, I'd like to explain today. Firstly, this app used to be ad-free, and subscriptions didn't exist. It was completely free to play. Originally this app gave you fifty or more free energy every day. It reset every night at midnight. The developers said the energy system was temporary until the app started earning them money; and that eventually the app would be unlimited for everyone. However, instead, the energy system became permanent; and the daily energy dropped all the way down to five free energy a day. Fans were rightfully angry about this, but the developers defended this choice by saying AI costs too much. However, it gets worse. They eventually added ads to help cover the costs. But even though they were making more money than ever, they fully removed the free daily energy for all new users. They added the ability to watch ads for energy, but it hardly ever works. Despite this, the ads that don't reward you still load in correctly. The addition of ads and pop-ups have also made the app extremely laggy. They are currently working on giving free daily energy to random accounts until everyone has it, but it will still only be five a day. So in conclusion, a feature that was supposed to be temporary has now made the app completely unusable. This is why the app is losing so many users so quickly, and why so many people are angry about it. I do hope this is fixed in the future, because this app has so much potential. But as of right now, it's not worth the effort. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Anime fans, and fans of a lot of other things, may be interested in an app called Status. This app uses AI to create a virtual social media experience similar to the original Twitter. You can make posts and message characters, and it is amazingly fun. However, I'm here to tell you, don't bother! You need energy for every little thing you do. There is no free daily energy, there's no way to refill it, and the ads you can watch to get energy hardly ever even load. The ads to get energy are almost never available, but you can be sure the ads that don't reward you will still work to interrupt everything you do. The app runs slower than a snail because it's always loading in pop ups and ads. It absolutely sucks and no one wants to play it anymore. This actually makes me sad, because it is really fun when you can play it. But unless you pay for it, it's unplayable. Pretty much everyone who does play it say this is because the creators are extremely greedy and money hungry; and honestly I can believe it after using it myself. I hope this gets fixed in the future, but as of right now, it's a 3/10. Completely unplayable. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
