New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the DIY recipes in Animal Crossing New Horizons. DIY recipes are necessary for being able to craft and customize certain objects and food in the game. However, you can get duplicates often, which makes it nearly impossible to get all of them. There are also seasonal recipes, and some recipes that only show up on special tour islands, like the glowing moss recipes. Personally, I think if everyone on your island knows a recipe, you shouldn't get duplicates anymore. The game knows what you do or don't have, so giving you the same recipe anyways is frustrating. If you already have a recipe, you should get the crafting materials instead; which is what they do for some seasonal DIY recipes that the villagers can give you. 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 other popular things from the early 2000's have been making a comeback, I'd like to talk about another popular thing for newer fans. But unlike the other things I've talked about, this one does belong in the anime community. That thing, is Nyan Cat. Although Nyan Cat is pixel art, it became very popular in a lot of online communities. But in the anime community, it was because Nyan Cat brought a Vocaloid song outside of the community. The song used for Nyan Cat was a cover of a Hatsune Miku song. Most people don't know that, but it was one of the first times a Vocaloid song made it outside of the usual fan base. Nyan Cat never really faded in popularity, and now there are a lot of different versions of Nyan Cat on the internet. As always, I'll be including a picture of Nyan Cat below. Enjoy!

It's post time! Ever since the Character AI drama happened, I haven't really been using the app. But since there's been a few updates, I decided to go back and give an honest review about the changes. It is staying in character more regularly, and it isn't repeating itself as much either. It's also talking more, which was a big complaint. However, for some reason the Go On feature and the Generate Again feature are pretty much useless now. If you try to go on, it doesn't continue the conversation. Instead, it just replies to your message again. It does occasionally continue correctly, but for the most part it doesn't. And when you try to create a new reply, it just rewords the same reply over again with barely any changes, which is exactly what Janitor AI does as well. Maybe they're using similar models now. There are also way more ads than there used to be, and the ads often kick you out of chats because they're long ads that don't let you skip them. I have no idea what's going on with the platform right now, but I hope these are just bugs and they'll get fixed soon. A lot of fans have already left for different platforms, with the most popular substitute being Janitor AI. But don't get your hopes up, because that has a paid membership feature now too; which is exactly how Character AI started their downward spiral. The most I can say is, if you like Character AI, just keep complaining about things to the developers. They are listening and trying to fix things, so don't give up just yet. Hopefully this will all be fixed soon, and then it'll be like nothing but a bad dream for all of you AI addicts. 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! For today's blog post, I will be talking about routes in Date Everything. Much like other games in this genre, choosing different options will get you different endings. But unlike most dating sims, Date Everything actually has three routes for every character. These are the Love, Hate, and Friendship endings. Hate endings are achieved by either failing to help a character with their problems, or by refusing to be just friends with them at the end of their route. Love or Friendship endings can be achieved by successfully completing a route and then choosing to either date the character, or stay friends with them. Sometimes picking the wrong options will make it so you finish a route successfully, but can only be friends with the character and nothing else. You can change a Hate ending to a Friendship ending, but you can't change a Hate or Friendship ending to a Love ending. I think this is the thing that bothers me, because sometimes it isn't obvious what you did wrong to get the ending in the first place. But for the most part, you can usually at least achieve a Friendship ending if nothing else. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the game Cup Heroes. This game is free to play, and can be played on mobile, computer, or console. This game is a standard combat wave game where you defeat enemies to reach the end of the chapter. Each chapter end will have a short story cutscene for you to watch, and you can get a new power up after each wave to prepare for the boss at the end. Each power up is chosen from your standard deck, and you buy them with the balls you earn by defeating monsters. You don't get very many after each wave, but you can put them through multipliers to increase your rewards to buy higher level cards. Some cards can even be bought more than once to stack their power. You start out with one hero, but as the game progresses, you can unlock more heroes, gear, and even pets to help you on your journey. If you fail a chapter, you still keep everything you earned up to that point, which means you can continue to unlock more things and level up your heroes even if you get stuck on a level. I recommend this game, and I've been having some fun playing it. The game uses a pixel art style, but the models used for the chat boxes and hero upgrade sections are clearly anime inspired. As always, I'll be including a picture of the game below. Enjoy!

It's time to post! Recently, there have been a lot more games and animations with the anime art style. Even though anime used to be a small community, now it's everywhere. This is a good thing for anime fans, but it also means a lot of other things that aren't anime get pulled into the anime fandom. This happens when people make animations or fan art for other things in the anime art style. It can be difficult to know what is and isn't an anime, and a lot of the popular things in the anime fandom aren't even from Japan anymore. With so many fans of other things and so many things other than anime in the community, it's getting hard to tell what anime even is anymore. I know this happens a lot because some people don't like anime, but like the art style. This isn't fair to real anime fans though, who are just trying to find more people to share their interests with. 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, there are a few clothing items that you can't actually wear or own. However, there are also furniture items you can't own. For example, there's a special pink dreamy bear on the black dreamy shelf that you can't own. Villagers also own clothes you can't own yourself, and you can buy accessories from Nook's Cranny that can't be worn because they're just display items. I think this is a bit strange. Usually when games include stuff like this, it's because you can own or wear it yourself. But that isn't the case in Animal Crossing New Horizons. I can't help but wonder why this is. It doesn't really bother me, it's just confusing. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do so many anime fans call Avatar The Last Airbender an anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! If you've been in the anime community for a while, you've probably seen the argument between the fans who think Avatar The Last Airbender is an anime, and the ones who think it isn't. The show isn't an anime, so why is this an argument at all? Well, it's because the show was actually anime inspired. It wasn't made to be an anime, it was just inspired by anime. A lot of people think this is close enough, so they say it is an anime. However, I don't think it's wrong to just call it a cartoon instead. The creators never called it an anime, and it isn't really considered one by its fans. But if some fans think the art style is close enough to be an anime, I think they have a right to their opinion. This show is so close to using an anime art style that I think it's alright either way. Avatar The Last Airbender has introduced a lot of people to anime, so it's fine if people want to consider it one. I know I've said otherwise in the past, but that's just because I personally see it as a cartoon instead of an anime. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Since I recently talked about the bad side of the indie games fandom, I'd like to talk about the good side today. There's actually a lot of good fans in the fandom. Having a large fan base can encourage creators to make more content, make content faster, and continue working to improve the game. Sometimes it even encourages creators to make merchandise for their games. Not only this, but more fans means more people will be interested in looking into the games, too. Fans also make Wikia pages and fan content, which makes it easier for new fans to learn more about the games. It's also a good way to talk to others who like the same games, and fans often fund indie games financially. So even though I was harsh in my previous post, I was only talking about the toxic minority. Most fans are much more supportive of small creators. 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! I think there's a serious problem in the indie games fandom. More than once a promising game has been scrapped, ended, or abandoned entirely because of their fans. Fans are very disrespectful to independent creators, and they often harass creators in various ways. They insult them, beg for more content, send them death threats, and in extreme cases they even dox or stalk the creators of the games. This is absolutely ridiculous. Firstly, this isn't an acceptable thing to do to any innocent creator. But secondly, the people doing this are ruining it for everyone else. Everyone knows full well if they received the same treatment, they would fold like a wet paper bag. So why is it okay to do it to others? The answer is: it isn't. A lot of these people are children who often shouldn't be in the community in the first place, but it's even worse when it's full grown adults doing it. Creators are people, and if you wouldn't be able to handle something, then you shouldn't do that thing to someone else. So many people on the internet are rude and immature, and it's time for them to either grow up or leave so everyone else can enjoy things. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because I was recently looking into Homicipher again, which had a situation where the creator had to step away because of the fans; which isn't fair for everyone else who was behaving. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In the anime community, it's common for only a handful of anime to actually gain any popularity. Because of this, newer or casual anime fans will want to watch these popular series before anything else. However, if something doesn't seem like something you would like, you shouldn't watch it just because everyone else is. There are a lot of other anime to choose from. Like older ones that may have faded into obscurity, or new ones that other anime fans aren't watching. There's so many to choose from now, that there's no reason to force yourself to watch something just because it's popular. 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! For today's blog post, I will be listing three things in Animal Crossing New Horizons that don't make sense. This list is just for fun, so don't take it too seriously. I just wanted to talk about a few things that don't make any sense. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) You can't use anything. Bathtubs, playground equipment, even sinks and toothbrushes; all of them are just for show. Hardly anything is actually interactive.

2.) You can't wear hats with wigs. Why? No one knows. But a lot of fans complain about it anyways. It's actually something a lot of fans hate about the wigs.

3.) Brewster tells you not to drink too much coffee, but nothing happens if you do. Nothing changes. You could have two cups of coffee, or twenty cups of coffee. Who cares? Go nuts.

That's all I have for now! Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing my top five favorite male characters from Date Everything, along with a picture of each. There will be minor spoilers for a few of them, too. Since some of them don't reveal their names until the end of their routes. So, proceed with caution! There's a lot of characters in this game, so I wanted to start small. They won't be in any specific order, I just wanted to share some of my favorites with you all. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Timothy Timepiece/Timmy Timepiece

2.) Skips Shadley

3.) Daisuke Dishware

4.) Cabrizzio

5.) Jon Wick/Scandalabra

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about something that bothers me in Date Everything. Don't get me wrong, I really like this game! But, I find the options really confusing. Sometimes the ending you're going to get is really obvious, but sometimes it seems like you're on one path, and then at the last minute you end up with a completely different ending. Sometimes I get the ending I'm trying to get, and other times I'm completely blindsided by the one I end up getting. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong, since some options aren't very obvious at all. I wish it was more clear, with at least a couple of hints throughout the route. I like playing games without being spoiled, but I'm not sure if it's possible to navigate this game without a walkthrough. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I'm not too bothered by this, I'm just a bit frustrated by it. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! Recently I've been playing Date Everything after the new update, and I haven't noticed very many changes yet. However, I did notice the camera sensitivity was much worse when I first logged on. This was easily fixed in the settings, but it made me very dizzy when I first tried to turn the camera. I'm also more frustrated than ever after getting the friendship route even after choosing options for other routes multiple times. I'll likely play the game again with a walkthrough after this, but there's so much to do in one playthrough that it feels overwhelming even thinking about doing it all again. I have noticed a few of the bug fixes and dialogue changes, and I'm happy to see the game is still running smoothly after the big update. 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 wanted to talk about something in Animal Crossing New Horizons that I don't see many other fans talking about. For those of you who don't know, if you buy the Happy Home Paradise DLC, it teaches you how to make rooms bigger. However, it doesn't carry over to your main island. Your house, and your villagers' houses, are stuck with the tiny rooms you start with. I think this is really unfair! What's the point of teaching us how to make bigger rooms if we can't make rooms bigger? Most of the rooms in the player houses are so small that you can barely do anything with them. Happy Home Paradise is an expensive DLC! And we can't even use it to expand our houses? It's ridiculous! We should be able to make our rooms and villager houses bigger if we have to pay so much for a DLC. I'm also frustrated with it because it teaches you how to make villagers share a house, but that doesn't let more villagers stay on your island either. 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! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the tools in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Tools are necessary for life on your island. An axe for getting wood, a shovel for digging things up, and many other things. However, these tools break. All of the tools break, even golden tools. It's a bit frustrating, and many people believe golden tools should be permanent. I agree, it's a bit unfair to make it so even the special difficult to get tools are still temporary. When I first started playing Animal Crossing New Horizons, I thought only the flimsy tools were temporary. They were flimsy, it made sense that they would break. I thought the tools you could buy at Nook's Cranny were permanent, because they looked special and you had to pay for them. But they break too! It's frustrating, and makes it so people don't want to even use their tools. Especially since the tools at Nook's Cranny change everyday, so if you want a specific one, you have to order it for the next day. For example, if you like the Outdoorsy series tools, you either have to wait for them to be in the shop, or order them for the next day. It's also unfair that these tools break because you can customize them. The tools you buy at Nook's Cranny are fully customizable, which is part of why I thought they were permanent. The golden tools are nice, but I think the tools you can buy should've been unbreakable, since they're customizable and they look sturdy. 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 a long time, I was too burned out to play Genshin Impact. I was running out of quests, and the events went by too quickly. After it had been a while, I thought I had missed so much that I shouldn't even bother playing it anymore. But recently I started missing it, and decided to play it again anyways. Even though I've missed a lot of events, I've had a good time exploring the new areas, going on more quests, and learning about the characters that were introduced when I wasn't playing. It's just as fun to play now as it used to be, and I think the break I took was just what I needed even though I ended up missing out on some things. So if you're in my position where you feel like there's no point in playing it now, that isn't true! There's actually more of a reason to play it now since there are so many new things to discover. Personally I really love Nod Krai, even though the addition of it was kind of a surprise when it was released. I've had a lot of fun exploring it! But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because I know there are fans like me who took a break, and were later hesitant about playing it again because of everything they missed. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! The creators of Date Everything just released a massive free update for everyone who has the game. They added and fixed so many things that I don't even know where to start! This new update is to celebrate their first anniversary, and everything they've added and fixed is based on what the fan base has requested or complained about. This is really good news, especially since most companies don't do this. I think it shows that they really are listening, and I hope they continue to be this accepting of reasonable criticisms in the future. If you're a fan, I recommend going to read the update notes yourself, because there's a lot of them. My game automatically updated yesterday, so I'm looking forward to seeing these new fixes and additions! As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the museum from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The museum has four areas that need to be filled, and those areas are for fossils, fish, bugs, and art. The problem is, it can take over a year to fully fill it. Sometimes longer if you miss seasonal fish or bugs. But, it also takes a long time because Redd almost never has real art. The only other place you can get art is from villagers occasionally sending it in the mail, so Redd is the only main place you can get it; which gets frustrating. After completing the museum, it gets a bit boring. There's only one event per year, nothing changes, and you see the same thing every time you enter. Which is why it's disappointing when you finish the museum. It's fun when you're filling it, and it's an achievement when you finish them. But after that, it feels empty. I wish there were more things to do in the museum. Like inviting villagers to go with you, or being able to decorate it somehow. However, I don't think the museum will ever be anything other than what it is. 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 a new remake for The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time was announced. A lot of people are already complaining about the new designs and things like that, even though not very much has been revealed yet. But I think there's a bigger problem here, it'll only be for the Nintendo Switch 2. This is such a mean thing to do to fans! Hardly anyone has a Switch 2, especially since there's been so many problems with the system. Nobody wants to buy a new system just to play a game they already love. Usually game systems make games for both old and new systems for years before discontinuing the older games. But Nintendo hates their fans and they love money. If you can't afford it, you don't deserve it. A lot of people can't afford to buy an expensive console and then buy new games for it too. They're already making Switch 2 exclusive games, so why do they have to push their fans away even more? Why do fans put up with this? It's ridiculous, unfair, and it's just bad business. Nintendo does these things because they get away with it, so they'll only get worse with time. 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! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, there's a problem with disabled representation. This isn't a problem for most people, but for fans with disabilities, it can be frustrating. There are no leg braces, casts can't be worn with shoes, there's no walking aids, and the wheelchair can't even be used correctly. This is part of a bigger problem, where games that let you customize your own character like to pretend disabled people don't exist. This isn't just a problem in Animal Crossing, but since Animal Crossing New Horizons is such a popular game, I decided to use it as an example. Games are getting more and more diverse, but people with disabilities are still getting left behind. They're still treated poorly by a lot of people, and games, anime, and media in general would rather pretend disabilities aren't real. I think this is becoming a problem, and I hope it stops being a problem in the future. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! One of the problems with being an anime fan is that some anime are completely inaccessible. They're hard to find, there are no DVDs, it's not on digital, and they're not on streaming services. I'm not sure why this happens, but there are a few series that are just about lost to time. But when fans upload it themselves, someone still reports it and gets it taken down. It isn't fair. There's no way to watch some series at all. The most well-known case of this is the Diabolik Lovers series, which has been buried so far that it's a good thing the characters are immortal. I hope things like this will start coming to streaming services, or that they'll at least be released for fans who want to watch it. 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 how to get new flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons. For those of you who don't know, you can only buy a few different flower colors for your island. To get more colors, you have to grow them yourself. If you plant flowers next to each other, you can make hybrid flowers. There are so many different combinations, and each one creates a new color of flower. If you combine different flowers, you can eventually get an island filled with unique and beautiful flowers. If you want specific flowers, there are a lot of flower guides available online. But, that's all for now. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about how to grow golden roses in Animal Crossing New Horizons. I've done enough complaining recently, so I'd like to just do a nice flower guide. Golden roses are rare, and they sell for 1,000 bells each. They don't clone, and growing them is a bit specific. They do, however, grow back if they're plucked or run through. To grow them, you have to get black roses first. Black roses are created by mixing two red roses by planting them next to each other. Once you have black roses, they should be watered only with a golden watering can. After a while, a golden rose will be created instead of a black or red one. It's pretty easy to do after you learn how they're grown, and the more you have, the more bells you'll get from them; since each one is worth 1,000 bells. Growing them can be tedious, but they're worth the effort. As always, I'll be including a picture of the golden rose below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! Bungo Stray Dogs has always been a popular anime ever since it first released. Because of this, I have decided to watch it myself. I'm only a few episodes in, but I like it so far. However, I will say, the comedy is a bit awkward. This show has some really serious themes and moments, so it feels like emotional whiplash when it suddenly becomes a joke. I'm sure this will become less common as the show progresses, so I'm not going to judge the anime too harshly for this. Overall I like it quite a bit, and I'm looking forward to watching more. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Even though Pokemon Winds and Waves still won't be released for a long time, there's already been a lot of leaks for it. This can help some fans stay interested during the long wait, but for other fans it can ruin the experience of waiting. These leaks also spread quickly, so you can't avoid them. This can be really frustrating for fans who want to wait for official news. This happens every time a new mainline Pokemon game is announced, and it happens for two reasons. Firstly, the games are often delayed or announced too early, which means fans have to wait a very long time. Secondly, the Pokemon company doesn't release enough information to keep fans interested. Fans have to do it themselves, which is what causes leaks. Although I don't agree with people leaking information, I do understand why it happens. I think if the Pokemon company engaged with the fans more, then leaks wouldn't happen as often. 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, there are only eight personality types. This means a lot of villagers have personalities that don't match their design. But the one that bothers me the most, is Sasha. Sasha is one of my favorite villagers, but his personality doesn't match at all. He has a lazy personality, which means he talks about bugs and acts very childish. I don't think this is what he should be like. I think Sasha should have been the first male peppy villager. I mean, he loves fashion and selfies, so being peppy would fit much better. He already gets mistaken for a girl often, so this may have been confusing. But it would've made more sense if he talked about things like videogames and comics as opposed to bugs. This wouldn't be a problem if there were more personalities, but the creators are too lazy to change that. Sasha's personality bothers me every time I see him, and that upsets me because I really love him. 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 personalities in Animal Crossing New Horizons. There are eight personality types in total, and there are four for males and four for females. A lot of fans think this isn't nearly enough, and I agree. If you want to have an island with all males or all females, you'll end up with a lot of personality doubles. Not only this, but the limited personalities means a lot of villagers don't have personalities to match their design. If you talk to the tourists who visit your island hotel, you can tell it's just repetitive dialogue. After a while it stops mattering who is visiting, since they all say the same things. Only the designs are unique, so it doesn't really matter who's on your island. I hope this will be fixed eventually, but I doubt it. There are too many villagers at this point, and the creators of Animal Crossing don't want to put in the effort to give them all unique personalities. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why is it a bad thing for Slumber Islands to not have buildings? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can now have Slumber Islands. They're separate from your main island and can be decorated freely. Is what I would like to say, if the creativity wasn't so limited. But one of the biggest problems with these islands, is that you can't have buildings. There's only one building, your house. You can't place other buildings at all. There are no stores, no villager houses, and no empty buildings to place. There's nothing. Since you can only place five villagers that you can't even talk to, it makes the island feel empty and lifeless. It almost feels dystopian walking around on a full island with basically nothing on it. Sure, you can add furniture. But it's not the same. You could also probably make false buildings yourself for a city setting, but it still feels empty. It's just disappointing, and I know a lot of other fans think so too. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
