An indie game dev who wants a Fire Emblem 6 Remake. Sometimes I make dumb blog posts where I talk about the game I'm making or things I like. I also sew... sometimes.
Watch School-Live. Play You & Me & Her. Listen to Love Live.

I can't wait for the next Smash Bros game to be announced.
Not because it'll be fun or because of the hype, but because I want to say certain anime characters deserve to be in the game, and when people say that there should only be video game characters I'll reveal it was a visual novel all along.

I know absolutely no one who’s following me cares at all, but I’ve been reading a book called “Vanishing World”, and I just need somewhere to ramble about it because I find it so interesting.

I forgot to do this on New Years Eve and New Years Day, and I'm so annoyed at myself I can't be bothered to make stupid joke announcing my monthly game dev post for December.

I just started watching the anime "Akiba Maid War", and it was a big missed opportunity to not have BAND-MAID do the opening.
It's a metal band where everyone wear maid dresses. You can't get any more fitting than them.

I saw a couple of people doing this last year, so I figured I’d do a Media Thread thing for 2026.
Here I’ll throw all of the games/books/movies/shows I play/read/watch this year so you can scroll through and ask “you like this stuff?”

Here’s all of the games I’ve played this year, as well as the games I’m currently playing. I’ve added a tick to all of the games that came out this year.
I’ve put which game is my favourite from the year, because there’s a ton of shenanigans going on.

I just had a (probably cringe) idea where I play a game and write diary entries from the perspective of the main character as a way to fit my gameplay choices into a story.
And then I had the idea to turn this diary thing into a youtube video when I'm done with the game.

Picture this. You’re in the middle of watching an anime about a group of girls exploring romance and stuff, and cut to a scene of your favourite character in an arcade for some reason playing actual, licensed Street Fighter 5 for seemingly no reason…
Because it happened to me.

Somehow, for the past few years, I end up listening to lots of Love Live music throughout December, and by the end of the month I end up wanting to rewatch all of the Love Live anime and start looking up merchandise to add to my Buyee shopping cart.

Clair Obscur is a great game and all, but wow is it exhausting for me.
1 boss fight can take so much concentration my brain feels like I’ve been playing Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training for hours on end.

I wish every Love Live character had an official favourite game of all time.
If they ever did that, I vote Midori's favourite game to be Final Fantasy VII. I like to imagine the "saving the planet from an electricity company" undertones really resonated with her.

I’m getting very tempted to start buying a watching DVDs of the Lego Ninjago TV show from my childhood because I’m very curious to know how well that series holds up now I’m an adult.
Zane realising he’s a robot is a core memory in my life and I need to know if it’s as cool as I remember it being.
