What are dual-type Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Newer Pokemon fans may not know what a dual-type Pokemon is. However, the answer is rather obvious. A dual-type Pokemon is a Pokemon with two types instead of one. The same strength and weakness rules apply, but with dual-type Pokemon you have to find the strengths and weaknesses for both types instead of one. There's quite a few dual-type Pokemon now, and if you know your Pokemon types it's easy to learn how to use them. I wanted to talk about this because a lot of fans act like these are obvious things, but new fans won't know anything about this. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! Today I got a chance to play Mushroom Oasis, which is a free to play visual novel game made by DeersphereStudios, and it's available on Itch.io. I'm not going to go into too much detail to avoid spoilers, but I'm about halfway through one route and I already have mixed feelings about this game. I love the art style, and Mychael himself is a good character with a really amazing design. But the story is a little frustrating. The main character makes stupid decisions, and there are barely any choices for you to make. Playing the game feels like I'm just watching someone do the opposite of everything I tell them to do. It gets so annoying very quickly. Sometimes I pick an option and the main character does the exact opposite thing instead. Plus sometimes decisions are taken away from you, which makes it even more frustrating to play. I don't really like when games force you to do certain things unless it's done properly, and since this game already doesn't have very many choices, it doesn't feel like it's done properly. However, I will say that's a personal preference, so it might feel different for other people. Don't just take my word for it! Try the game yourself and form your own opinions about it. Keep in mind this game is made for adults, even if it doesn't have any NSFW content. As always, I'll be including a link to the official game website below for anyone who might be interested in playing it. Enjoy!

Why do Animal Crossing fans always ask for more custom design spaces? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Ever since Animal Crossing New Horizons came out, fans have been practically begging for more custom design spaces. Even though there have been a few updates since the release, they haven't added any more custom design spaces. This is a big problem, because Animal Crossing New Horizons fans use custom designs for everything. They use them for store fronts, make-up, eyebrows, hair, paths, outdoor rugs, special signs, indoor windows, and a lot more. Plus a lot of these designs take a lot of spaces to accurately create the correct things. This means you run out of spaces very quickly. It wouldn't be that difficult to give players more spaces, so I don't understand why Nintendo is so against this even though fans have been asking for it since the game first came out. 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 the internet has become completely overrun with children, a lot of adults want to blame everyone except the parents. People say we should make things less accessible to children by making things cost money, or by making it so adults have to show proof that they're adults. But this creates problems too. Not all adults have the money to spend on things, and not all adults feel comfortable giving companies their ID. Whenever kids are caught in adult spaces, they always have an excuse. But it isn't our job as adults to parent the children of other adults. I think children shouldn't be allowed on the internet at all if this is such a problem. This is a really big problem in the anime and gaming communities especially, and I personally am getting really tired of minors invading adult spaces and then acting like they have any right to be there. This happened recently in the Psycho Cuties community, and a large majority of the adults involved defended the minors involved. But this is wrong, they aren't right just because they're minors. If they shouldn't be in a place, they should be told to leave. Preferably nicely. There shouldn't be adults and other minors acting like they have a right to be there. If this things like this continue, we'll only have an even bigger problem. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

How do Fate/Grand Order players know what banners and events are coming up? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For a lot of games made in Japan or China, English server players usually have to wait a few months to get the same content. Usually it's about six months. Some games release it all at the same time. But Fate/Grand Order makes players wait two years. That's right! Two whole years! Unless something is specifically for that year, like the anniversaries or special events, English server users have to wait two years to get what everyone else considers old news. It would make sense if everything was one year behind, that happens with games like this all the time. But two years is insane! I personally started late, so I didn't know this was a problem until I saw other players complaining about it. But recently I was excited to be able to get Taisui Xingjun from the Leaves Of Evocation shop, only to find out he won't even be added until next April; which is still almost a year away. It's not fair! It's actually extremely unfair, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! Even though it's only July, some stores and people are already getting ready for Halloween! So for today's blog post, I thought I would talk about something creepy. Because of this, I wanted to talk about bug Pokemon! Have you ever noticed bug Pokemon are never creepy? They're cool, or cute, but not creepy. I think there should be creepy bug Pokemon! I'd like to see some ghost-type bug Pokemon, or dark-type bug Pokemon. It would be a refreshing change, especially since there aren't very many of them at the moment. 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 will be talking about Domo-kun. Domo-kun was originally a brown boxy mascot made for the Japanese channel NKH. He was created in 1998 as well, and he has a large open mouth. In the early 2000's, Domo-kun became extremely popular. His simple design made it easy to use him for pictures, memes, and wallpapers for computers and phones. Eventually Domo-kun escaped Japan and became a mascot for the American scene and nerd culture instead. In this context, he's usually seen wearing glasses. It's amazing how a simple Japanese mascot can become so popular for something completely unrelated to what he was created for. Since Domo-kun is starting to become popular again, I decided to talk about him today. As always, I'll be including a picture of Domo-kun below so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!
