'I'll sleep when I'm dead' is a short poem which attempts to crystalise some of my childhood memories, and sepcifically of my chilldhood garden, into something tangible - like a little diorama. #poetry #blutoid #books

Can my children come with me? Also, how many books am I allowed to take? Do they have ground coffee there?

I finished Stepanchikovo. It had some very memorable scenes of melodrama, but it became quite frustrating to read tbh. The about face right at the end, on the part of Foma, was interesting - I read it as a cynical survival move lol #books

Hey fellow young people, random record recommend here: Bleeds by Wednesday. Teenage American rock with a little sojourn to the 70s mid album. Radiates that old school American indie energy

This is a separate vn from the first game. As in, it is sold separately. Called ‘Planetarian: Snow Globe’. It’s a little over an hour long. It’s very cheap, maybe £5 full price

I read Planetarian last year and quite enjoyed it. Though it evoked a very bleak world, it had a cute, anachronistic main character in Yumemi. Snow Globe is a very short prequel which, though cute, stealthily foreshadows an important aspect of robot behaviour which made the first story so bleak…

That’s great! I think it’s a really fantastic game!
Just so you know, the whole game is very survivable without Wind’s side quests if you don’t want to do them. I did very few. But obviously you do what’s fun for you.
I could NOT pull off Jonathan’s attack combos at all lol have you managed to?

Haha yeah thats true. I did end up using her cure poison spell quite a bit later in the game. Never got her actual ‘heal’ spell though as I think I sold one of the required items of clothing :(
How’re you enjoying the game so far?

Oh haha. Maybe send Charlotte away, then equip her with the spell and use the right shoulder button to bring her out to cast it?
