I got Viva Piñata DS for 6€ (pre-owned) 😍
I was obsessed with the game when I was a kid and I played it all the time. I wish the IP wouldn't have disappeared because it's such a great cozy game imo..

Who Saw The Peacock Dance in the Jungle Vol. 4 ❤️

So funny how big Snorlax is. He needs two screens 😁 #USUM

I just started my 6th replay of gen 7 (my favorite gen) and I'm still so excited as if I would play it for the first time 😍
No other Pokemon game feels like this to me, even though I grew up with the franchise and played every gen (Red was my first game thanks to my big brother)
White Nintendo 3DS with colorful X,Y,A,B buttons (blue, green, red, yellow) and two screens. The game visible on the the top screen is Pokemon Ultramoon. A white female character wearing a hat, an orange top, white shorts, black shoes and a black bag is standing on a cliff next to a palm tree. In the background is the ocean, a small island with a palm tree, and the sun is going down.

Oh no.. Qzil. la, which is one of the studies creating the anime The Champignon Witch, is known for using AI 😑 I really hope they didn't use AI, because that would ruin the anime for me..

We challenge the conventional wisdom of existing methods, collaborate with partner companies with high technical capabilities, and utilize the latest technologies such as Al to evolve production processes and expressions, thereby bringing about digital disruption in the anime industry.

Today me and my mum collected chestnuts. In our town near the forest are a few trees where everyone can get them for free and as much as you want, most people don't seem to care tho.
They are a smaller than the store-bought chestnuts and peeling takes longer but my family and I love to eat them 😋🌰

New hedgehog video!
It looks a bit glitchy because I filmed it through the window (again) 😅
Every time I open it the hedgehog sees/hears me and freezes up until I'm gone, so I can't film it properly..
Next time I'm just gonna take a quick photo.
