It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Steam Deck. For those of you who don't know, a Steam Deck is a handheld console that lets you play your computer games on the go. There are a lot of games that are compatible with the Steam Deck, and apparently it's very popular with Nintendo Switch users. Steam Decks come with a lot of storage, most games can be played offline, and a lot of the games on it are cheaper than they are on the Nintendo Switch. There's also a much bigger selection of games. Anything that's on Steam can be put on the Steam Deck, but not all of the games are made for the Steam Deck. Sometimes you do have to map the buttons yourself. The Steam Deck is also a lot more expensive than the Nintendo Switch. However, you can buy a certified refurbished Steam Deck that has been completely cleaned and fixed at a heavily discounted price. There aren't any currently available, but they're worth the wait if you don't want to pay full price. A lot of people think Steam Decks are a lot better than the Nintendo Switch. With the large amount of games, cheaper games, and official refurbished discounted consoles, I can see why so many people prefer it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I'll be including the link for the official shopping page below. Enjoy!

It's time to post! Recently the Nintendo community has been talking about something Shigeru Miyamoto said. With all of these recent game remakes, fans have been complaining about the lack of original content. However, Shigeru Miyamoto defended these remakes, saying it's fine to make them because everyone stops playing the originals after five years anyways. This is an obvious lie, and it's also a flimsy argument for this topic. These games wouldn't still be popular if everyone stopped playing them within five years. There are a lot of people who still play the originals, and there would be even more people playing them if Nintendo didn't actively sabotage their old systems for money. This is just an excuse to keep making games that already exist to get money from people who have already bought these games before. Obviously Nintendo isn't the only company who does this, but this is the only time I've seen such a weak defense for it. I can see why people are upset about this, especially since it's not a good argument for this situation. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I'll be talking about Animal Crossing New Horizons updates. Although we just got a big new update earlier this year, fans are already asking about what could be coming next. Despite this, there really hasn't been any news about any future updates. Even though fans still have things they want in the game, there hasn't been anything said about potentially adding anything else. We weren't supposed to get another update in the first place, so I don't think it's likely we'll ever get another one. Updates like this are only created and released to keep players interested in the series while they're working on the next game. I'd like to say we'll get another update eventually, but we probably won't. I really hate that they do this with the games, because not everyone can just abandon their current islands and buy the next game because the creators are bored of the current one. Along with this, a lot of players don't want to abandon their current islands. This is why so many people want updates for this game instead of a new game. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Mimikyu. Mimikyu is an interesting Pokemon because its real life popularity contradicts its in universe lore. In the Pokemon world, Mimikyu is an unpopular and feared Pokemon who just wants to be loved. But in real life, Pokemon fans love Mimikyu! It's actually one of the most popular Pokemon since it was released. Fans love its cute and creepy design, and because Mimikyu is only wearing a disguise, it's fun and easy for fans to make more disguises for it based on other Pokemon. Mimikyu is one of my personal favorites as well, and it has a lot of merchandise because of how popular it is. I think it's amazing how popular this little Pokemon became even though it's supposed to be "unlovable". But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about origami. Origami is a popular Japanese art, so it's not unusual to see it in anime and manga. Origami is paper folding. It's important to remember it's only considered origami if you fold the paper without using tape, glue, or scissors. You also can't mark the paper. The most common design is the crane, but there are a lot of different designs you can create. You can make simple ones or more complicated ones, as well. Origami takes a lot of patience, and folding the paper has to be done gently to avoid ripping it. Because of this, origami is an art used for learning patience. It's also very meditative, which is part of why it's still so popular even now. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! These days, people get offended pretty easily over a lot of things. But one of the most common arguments in the anime fandom is about young-looking characters who are actually adults. Because of this, I'd like to talk about it, and I think I'll probably have an unpopular opinion. Personally I think it doesn't matter how young a character looks as long as they're an established adult who is mentally aware of the fact that they are an adult. There are a lot of real life people who look way too young for their ages, and I don't think it would be right to say they're off limits just because of how they look. Characters may be different, in the sense that someone created them. But in real life, there are adults of all shapes and sizes. So saying a character is short and looks young so they don't deserve love, is just going to anger real life people who are short and look young. I think as long as an adult character is very clearly an adult, it doesn't matter what they look like. 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! Sanrio fans know there are a lot of Sanrio characters. However, there are so many that even Sanrio fans don't know about all of them. The official Sanrio timeline only includes the most popular ones, and characters that were created to be released with or for an existing character are overlooked entirely. For example, Kuromi is a really popular character. But not many people know she's actually part of an all girl group. Kuromi is the leader, but there are also four other characters that don't get merchandise and are never talked about. Things like this happen a lot with Sanrio characters. If they aren't popular, then they don't exist. Sanrio will cancel projects and bury characters quickly if they think they won't make enough money. This actually happened to Kirimichan, who was supposed to get a whole series that featured Kirimichan and their friends in human form. I really wish Sanrio wasn't like this, since it doesn't give anyone the opportunity to like something. Instead, it pushes fans towards things they're supposed to like and away from things they actually like. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As a little bonus, I'll be including a picture of Kuromi with her friends below. Enjoy!
