It's time for another new blog post! Since it's fall now, that means the pinecones and acorns are back in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Everyone hates this season because pinecones and acorns are ridiculously hard to get. You can get a random number of acorns once everyday from Cornimer on Harv's Island, but there's nothing like this for pinecones. This is twice as frustrating because the spawn rate is insanely low for both of them. I also recommend you catch all of the wasps on your island before you start hunting for pinecones and acorns, because you'll be shaking a lot of trees. It's important to remember a pinecone or acorn can't drop if there's things already around the tree on the ground too, so remember to pick up fallen tree branches if there's no extra space. You can also repeatedly shake one tree if you don't feel like running around your whole island. I know collecting these is frustrating, but it's not impossible. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! A few days ago I talked about space buns. So for today's blog post, I'll be talking about the difference between space buns and odango. Even though space buns are popular in Japan, they don't actually have a specific name for them. Odango instead is used for all bun hairstyles. Space buns is an American term. It likely came from Princess Leia from Star Wars, even though she doesn't have space buns. Space buns are two perfectly symmetrical circular buns on the top of the head; which is not what Princess Leia has. These buns are actually from Ancient China, so they really have nothing to do with Japan or Star Wars. But if you want to call them anything, odango is more respectful and accurate. Especially since "space buns" was a term drawn from a character who does not even have space buns. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For the next 24 hours, it's Smile Day in Hello Kitty Dream Village. But what does this mean? Well, Smile Day happens on the 25th day of every month. During Smile Day, you can get five times as many hearts than usual. This means you can easily stack up hearts for the heart shop. You can also get log in bonuses. For this month, you'll get a special jacket for logging in. There isn't really very much to say about it. Smile Day only happens to help players get a lot of hearts for the heart shop. I wanted to talk about it because the game itself doesn't really explain what Smile Day actually is. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! The main problem I have with the game Date Everything is the amount of content there is in one playthrough. Not only is there way too much to do, but if you end up with any bad endings, it takes a long time to fix it. This can get really boring and eventually it feels less like playing a game and more like finishing a chore. However, you can have more than one save file. So if you're impatient like I am, you can start over. But! This only works if you don't have autosave on. If you have autosave on, you'll save right over your original save file. So don't do that. Unless you really hate your first save file for some reason. There are a lot of available save slots, so you can do as many playthroughs as you want, or you can try different branching paths instead. I recommend this if you're feeling trapped in a playthrough, or if you're getting bored of it. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What are space buns? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Space buns are a popular Japanese hairstyle, but they didn't originally come from Japan. It's more likely they were made in China. However, they've become very popular in Japan, especially in anime and cute culture. In Japan, they're not called space buns. The term "space buns" came from America, and was likely named that way because of Star Wars. But in Japan, they're called odango, which is closer to being called a dumpling. This is because the buns resemble dumplings. It can really refer to any bun hairstyle in Japan. But in this context, it's usually referring to the two symmetrical buns on top of the head. They're considered very cute, so they've become popular in anime. This means they're popular in the anime community, too. I wanted to talk about this because people talk about space buns, but they don't really know what they are. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently I got an ad for a game called Self Care Vampire. This app is still in development, but I still found some information about it. It's a self care app that doubles as a dating sim, and it's to help encourage users to take care of themselves. It's early access right now, but I was interested in trying it anyways. However, it actually isn't available for any of my devices, so I can't give a review of it at all. I hope this changes when it's fully released, because it does look really interesting. It's only available for mobile, but I'll be including the link for the official website below for anyone who may be interested. Enjoy!

It's post time! If you watch the English dub of some anime series, you'll notice that the theme song and end song are also in English. This was common in anime for children, but some more mature anime series also did it. However, recently this isn't as common, and it rarely ever happens now. I'm sure this is because it costs money to make English versions of the songs. But personally, I think more people would be interested if there were English versions of the songs. Of course I mean an English translation of the original song, I don't think two dubs of the same anime should have two different songs. But I do think making English versions of the songs would draw in more people from outside of the anime community. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
