And I've called it quits with #Chronos:TheNewDawn. Nothing terribly dramatic as the reason, I just found it increasingly uninteresting. Not particularly fun or challenging, not particularly scary or unique. Just kinda...derivative and plodding. Not terrible, but not really engaging.

Manga Number 39:March Comes in Like a Lion.
This is an odd one. Much more experimental in formatting and storytelling than most manga, which makes it interesting to look at but sometimes a but hard to follow (very busy looking, crammed with text). Story seems a bit maudlin, but it has potential.

Oh, and Cronos:The New Dawn is set during Christmastime too.

If we're talking solely about games that take place during Christmas, Yakuza Kiwami and 5 both do. SNATCHER takes place during Christmastime. Saints Row 4 also has a Christmas DLC. And the Persona games have Christmas stuff near their end (though it's Japanese Christmas, so it's a romantic holiday)

Manga Number 38: Cosmos
This is more like what I was hoping DanDaDan would be. There's elements about the story that feel poorly communicated or confusing, but so far it's got a really fun concept, good art and some decent pathos.

Well, after bouncing between multiple games for over a month, I've finally polished off one I've been working on: #Persona3Reload is finished! /1

Manga Number 37: My Dear Detective: Mitsuko's Case Files
This one was okay. A mystery/slow-burn romance set in the increasingly dire days of the early Showa period. The mystery aspects are fun and the setting is strong, but the romance seems pretty unengaging, with the male lead a weak point.

The actual article isn't much more coherent, seeming to end mostly on the point of....Hamlet being good?🤷♂️
It's a very meandering piece that I don't understand.
The headline, though? That feels pretty clear and insulting. What exactly do we "deserve" in this case? The body text doesn't answer.
