It's time to post! For those of you who don't know, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can get models made for fish or bugs. You can do this by talking to Flick or CJ, asking for a commission, and giving them three of one type of bug or fish. For example, three butterflies will make one model. However, Flick can only make bug models, and CJ only makes fish models; even though Flick is the one who makes all of the models. You can only commission one model at a time as well, so plan accordingly! Models are a fun way to have bugs on your island in all seasons, or to make sea themed rooms with fish models. There are 160 models in total, with 80 models for fish and 80 models for bugs. So if you want a specific model, be sure to plan ahead! As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! It's been about a week now since the Character AI situation started, and there's been a development! A bad development. The creators decided to "fix" the issues by adding a new temporary chat style. Firstly, it's stupid to make it temporary. Part of the problem is that different people like different chat styles. So forcing everyone to use the same one just won't work. Instead of making new chat styles, they should've just kept and updated the most popular chat styles, which seems to be Soft Launch and Roar. That's two chat styles, it would've been enough. But now there are just so many problems and they aren't listening at all. They're "fixing" problems by making new problems, and it's like they want to lose their users. I thought they would fix it by now, but it's like they aren't even trying; since a lot of people said the new chat style has more dialogue but still doesn't stay in character. The service is literally called Character AI, so characters not staying in character is a problem! If you're an anime fan who likes using these bots, I would recommend just using a different one for now and maybe checking the Reddit for updates in the meantime. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Recently I've been playing the game Date Everything, which was a gift I got when it was on sale recently. I've only been playing it for a few days, so I'd like to give my thoughts on it so far even though I haven't reached the ending yet. Firstly, it can get pretty overwhelming. There are so many things to do that sometimes it feels like you're just running errands. Secondly, getting all of the endings will take multiple playthroughs, which can feel intimidating to a new player. It's also really easy to get lost or mess up on a blind playthrough. I have a few characters who hate me even though I don't really know what I did wrong. The one that stings the most is Timothy, who I was very understanding with, which makes me even more confused about why he hates me now. I also have some that had different endings than I expected despite feeling like I picked the right options. It's very easy to end up being just friends with the characters no matter how many romance options you pick, and other times the characters fall in love with you no matter how many platonic options you pick. It's very confusing. I think this game is best with a playthrough, because otherwise you just get lost or run around in circles for ages. But all in all, I'm actually enjoying this game; even though I know the ending is going to crush me. Regardless, 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! As anime fans, it's hard to admit that the biggest problem with being an anime fan is merchandise. It's expensive, there's too much of it, and sometimes it isn't released outside of Japan. It can make other fans feel left out, and a lot of people sell Japan exclusive merchandise for much more than it's worth. Even websites like AliExpress often have limits for where they'll ship things to, so you can see they have it but you aren't allowed to buy it. You could always just not buy merchandise, but then other fans think you aren't a real fan. Since anime has become more popular outside of Japan, I think merchandise should be easier for fans to buy. The high prices are already stressful, so it isn't fair to also make things completely unavailable for fans outside of Japan. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! It's been a few days since the Character AI community set fire to itself and danced in the flames, so I'm here with a small update. Firstly, there's still only one free chat style. But, they have been working on it, without really telling anyone they've been working on it. It's pretty clear they have been trying to fix it though, since people are getting different responses now. There was also a community poll on Reddit to show the creators which chat styles fans liked the most. The winners were Soft Launch in first, and Roar in second. I don't know if this will do anything, but hopefully the creators will finally listen to the fans. Especially since the current chat style, Pipsqueak 2, only finished with ninety nine votes out of thousands of votes. Whatever happens, it looks like things are gradually being smoothed out. I hope this means things will be fixed soon. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you'll often see villagers crafting or cooking in their homes. If you talk to them, they'll give you the DIY recipe for whatever they're working on. If you already know the recipe, they'll make you take it anyways. If you don't know the recipe, they'll ask if you want it, and you can agree or refuse. My problem with this is, it should be the other way around. They should give you the option to reject ones you already have, but make you take ones you don't have. This would make it a lot easier to unlock all of the recipes, while also giving you the option to not take ones you already know. Yes you can sell repeat recipes, but they don't give you very many bells. Personally, I think it's just a waste of time to sell the extras. But if they insist on forcing the recipes on the player characters anyways, then we should have to take all of them so we don't accidentally reject a new one. 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! Today is day two of the massive Character AI community meltdown. I can understand why users are upset, but I honestly thought it would have calmed down by now. I think people who are deleting their accounts and jumping ship are doing it a little too quickly. Character AI has had issues like this before, and it's always taken at least a week to fix it. Some people are already noticing differences in the chat style, so the creators are probably working on it right now. Hopefully this issue is fixed soon, since the community is really upset about this one. Personally I think it would be best if they just gave back one of the original chat styles while they're working on it so fans can use something else if they want to. There used to be several free chat styles to choose from, so it wouldn't kill them to give users two instead of one. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
