It's post time! When it comes to cozy games, one of the most popular ones is Animal Crossing New Horizons. However, I've been enjoying the game Hello Kitty Dream Village recently. It has a lot of things Animal Crossing New Horizons is missing. You can interact with the furniture, visit other players, play with the plushies, use shelves, plushies can be placed on beds, tables, couches, and chairs, and they can be interacted with after they're placed. Hello Kitty Dream Village also has a lot of customization options for your character. There's always new clothes, hairstyles, and face options. It is a bit disappointing that the colors for some hairstyles and eyes can't be changed, but there are so many to choose from that you can just use a different similar one instead. I was really surprised with how many things Hello Kitty Dream Village has that Animal Crossing doesn't. I think if the creators of Animal Crossing took some inspiration from similar games, they could keep up with the other games that have been released over the years. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently I've seen people calling Rilakkuma a Sanrio character. So for today's blog post, I'd like to talk about it. Rilakkuma isn't a Sanrio character. Instead, he's from a similar company called San-X. San-X also makes cute mascot characters, but they're not the same company. I know this can be confusing for casual fans, which is why I wanted to clear this up. It's easy to mix up Sanrio characters and San-X characters, but they're not the same. Remember, Sanrio makes Hello Kitty, and San-X makes Rilakkuma. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! Since Pokemon has been releasing a lot of new merchandise, there have been way too many articles saying "this Pokemon is getting a crazy new redesign". So I'm going to clear this up. These are all clickbait. The "redesign" is almost always just a new color or a new outfit. This isn't what a redesign is. A redesign is when something gets a new design, like a new art style or a slightly different appearance. If a new color was considered a redesign, then every shiny Pokemon would be a redesign. If putting a hat on or changing clothes was a redesign, then Team Rocket would be getting a new redesign almost every time they appeared. Calling a new color or outfit a "redesign" is stupid and uninformed. So if you see an article with a title like this, just ignore it. They just want your clicks. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Ever since the hotel was added in Animal Crossing New Horizons, there have been tourists coming to the islands. This isn't optional. However, it gets worse. Occasionally if you have an open room available, you'll encounter a tourist on your island who forgot to reserve a room. You can then take them to the hotel and pick a room for them. This wouldn't be so bad, but the problem is, only the island representative can help these villagers. That means if you share an island with someone else and aren't the island representative, you can't do anything. So if the player in charge of the island doesn't want to deal with this tourist, you get to watch a thinking villager you don't know wander around and talk to themself while they constantly get in the way, and you can't do anything about it. This is maybe the dumbest addition to the game I've seen so far. There's no reason to make it so only one player can help a tourist like this. It's a stupid rule and honestly I hate it. Other players also hate it. Why does only one player get to take care of this tourist? It's annoying. Everyone is allowed to work on the hotel, but only one person is actually allowed to bring guests to it? If the creators were going to do this then they shouldn't have added this feature at all. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! One of the biggest complaints about Fate/Grand Order is that there aren't enough men. However, this complaint stems from the fact that the creators will do anything in their power to turn characters who should be men into women. The characters in Fate/Grand Order are based on real myths, legends, gods, and people. So to have them so disrespectfully turned into something they aren't is an insult to the different cultures they borrow from. It's so easy to find real women to use instead, but they don't. Along with this, they have never once taken a woman and made her into a man. Never. Because of this, players have come to the conclusion that the creators hate men. This is a bold claim, but I can't help but agree. They really do act like they hate men. Some may argue that there are good male characters, but compare this small amount of good male characters to the others. Compare it to the ones that were turned into women, or who are villains, or who are made fun of and degraded. Compare it to all of the male characters that are treated like jokes. You'll see a concerning pattern. They haven't gotten better, either. The Fate series has been around for a very long time and they've always done this. I think it's very disrespectful to men, and to the real people they're doing this to. It doesn't matter if these people are dead or not, they still have legacies, and families, and picking men from a long time ago will never change this fact. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post.

It's post time! As games push away female players and try to appeal more to male players, I find myself enjoying games less and less. It's hard to like something that isn't made for you. However, today I had the same problem with the game Touhou LostWord. The only difference is, this game is supposed to be for women. The main character is referred to as a girl and is frequently called she. But if you play the game, it feels like it was made for men. There are only girl characters and no boys, but there's still an overwhelming amount of fan service in the gacha banners and even the character designs. Using female pronouns for the main character chases men away, but making all of the characters exclusively girls with too much fan service chases most women away. Don't get me wrong, I understand who this game was made for. I just don't understand why. Realistically the target audience for this game is so small that I genuinely don't see why it's like this. There's also been players complaining about the lack of male characters, which makes this even more confusing. Women can and will play games with only girl characters, they do it all the time. But making those characters look inappropriate will just chase most of the fans away. Especially since it's obvious they don't want men to play it. This is the first time I've played a game like this and it confuses me to no end. It also makes me very uncomfortable and I don't really want to play it. I was interested in Touhou because I've heard good things about it, but this game is quickly killing my interest. Regardless, 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 once again talking about the insane pity system in Fate/Grand Order. I don't think I've really made enough of a point of how crazy this is, so I'm going to explain it more clearly. If you're trying to get a character, you may end up having to hit max pity. Max pity takes 330 pulls, which is 30 ten pulls, because every ten pulls gets you a guaranteed extra pull; meaning a total of 11. This would take 900 Saint Quartz, and there is no 50/50. It's only max pity. 900 Saint Quartz doesn't seem like too much, right? For newer players, it's manageable if you really work hard enough. But for players who are all caught up on everything, it would take roughly 3 to 12 months to earn this many, depending on what events are running. That's right, it could take a full year to get one character. Or it could take a quarter of a year, or half of a year. This is an insanely long time! Along with this, if you don't get the character the first time, all of your Saint Quartz are wasted. It doesn't carry over to the next time. So good luck trying to get the character next time instead. Even knowing the banner schedule doesn't help, since sometimes they'll change the schedule and add surprise banners for certain events or milestones. This is why I hate this pity system. I'm very far behind, so I could reasonably get the Saint Quartz needed to get a character if I really wanted to. But it takes so much work that it's easy to get overwhelmed and burned out in the short time that the banners are open for. A lot of fans have complained about this for years, but nothing ever changes. It's always the same. I wanted to talk about this again to really show why this is such an issue in this game. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
