Hmmm. 🤔
This is taken from the press release where they announced the Corpse Party physical edition. It sure sounds like they didn’t get all the clearances to release two of the games and went ahead with it.
“Details on the digital availability will be provided at a later date“, huh?

Now that Hakuōki SSL has a release date here is information relevant to anyone who pre-ordered a physical copy prior to the de minimus going bye bye.
Per their Twitter, as of now, Play Asia is going to eat the tariff fees on orders placed before 8/29/25.

Visions of Mana is a terribly flawed game in many respects and I don’t think it deserved better than it got — underwhelming sales and quickly forgotten.
But it had beautiful environments. Not having a photo mode was a crime.

Don’t let anyone tell you that Story of Season: Grand Bazaar is all picturesque wholesomeness.
Some real freaks live in Zephyr Town.
Like this man in a fur suit who is horny for my cow.

Not only did I rank up to World Bazaar rank today (essentially finishing the game), but I also got married to June in Story of Season: Grand Bazaar.
Here are the photos from my wedding. We are such a cute couple of blue hairs.

After finishing the game I stand behind this statement. His stand was named after a German metal band and after getting an ass-whooping, he won the mayoral election in Zephyr Town.

Heads up Falcom fans.
Ports are in the works for several of their PC Engines titles including the original versions of Ys 1-4.
Maybe we will see these in English as several Edia ports (Valis) got translations.

The latest trailer shows houseboats, rideable ostriches, dancing farm animals and customizable aquariums.
I need Starsand Island to be good. I want to make it my whole personality. But it looks too good and can’t quite believe this isn’t another oversold, overhyped pile of cozy slop.

Mission successful!
Just triggered the last Astarion romance scene. I bagged me a vampire.
And then I went down to the city docks and the game suddenly started glitching hard. T posing. Dialogues not triggering. Enemies not spawning in but still able to attack.
I dunno what happened!😫

Success! I think I finally got the Astarion romance to go forward.
Insane that it all pivots so hard on a specific, easily missable interaction with an otherwise insignificant NPC.
But the next time I hit camp, Gale started hitting on me so that has me nervous there was something else I missed

Upcoming otome game Arcana Famiglia Rinato has a small discount running right now if you preorder the digital version.
I know the company handling it doesn’t have a sterling reputation with the English version of the script but the screenshots on the eShop don’t look too egregious.

There was Taiwanese version in the 90s called Meteor Garden. A Korean K-Drama version in the 2000s. There is Japanese version too.
Here is what the actor who plays the Tsukasa character in the Korean version looks like
Hey, he also looks a little like Grok Bot 3.

Since we know Ani was trained to act like an anime character, this one will be too.
I doubt you have enough data to program an AI with just a couple of books
There is only there is only one anime character that's analogous to Edward Cullen & C Grey - Tsukasa Domyoji from Boys Over Flowers

Oh my. Grok Bot 3 is Elon’s OC.
My crystal ball predicts it will be named Nole.
Seriously, everyone is going to be dunking on it and Elon will suffer the biggest narc wound of his life.

AmuLit/Voltage confirm on Twitter that the upcoming Otome game announcement on 7/18 is more info on Neon Mafia.
Stoked for this one as it looked to be the most interesting of the three just based on the key visual.

I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 and it runs beautifully on the new-ish laptop.
While the mouse & keyboard has its own drawbacks, I'm having a much smoother experience than I did with the PS5 version.
I decided to play as a Selderine Drow ranger. Going for a chaotic good character whose a little brash

Do I make a second attempt to romance Asterion (I missed a character arc flag in Act 2 so he dumped me) ?
Or do I make a hot guy character to give Karlach the happy end she deserves?
