- Comment on Ruri Dragon Anime Officially Announced! | Studio: KyoAni 1 hour ago:
I had a page-by-page vocab list from Wanikani, but the goal is to use as little assistance as possible, only check words I don't know. If I read a translation side-by-side, I'm really just reading the translation rather than understanding the original Japanese.

So far it's mostly been slice-of-life, but recent chapters seem to be hinting that it's meant to build up to a bigger conflict.

This was the second manga (after obligatory Yotsubato) I read in Japanese as I started learning, some of the slang was a bit tricky but it was a fun read. Liked it enough that I then went back to read it in English again. So this one's got a solid place in my heart, very excited to see this adaptation.

I've seen a small handful of series that have been officially uploaded to Youtube, check ItsAnimeJP. Not a lot, mostly older stuff and mostly subbed.
- Comment on Day 528 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 day ago:
It's a purely narrative game, the original version (this is now a remake of a remake in a new engine) was made in RPG Maker but without any RPG elements. Walk around, talk to NPCs, watch the story unfold.
The one big thing it has in common with Undertale is that the less you know going in, the better. If the art style and vibe is enough to get your attention, go ahead and give it a shot, go in blind.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 2 days ago:
Physical copies, yes. If it's a game I absolutely know I'm definitely buying and I want it badly enough to spend full price and I want to play it on day 1, I'll preorder to ensure it ships on day 1. Because if I actually ordered it on release day, it'd take a few more days to ship. Last game I preordered was Kirby Air Riders, and I'm very happy with that purchase.
As for Early Access, my criteria is to just evaluate the game in its current state - if it offers enough to be worth buying now, I'll buy it now.

Same stuff that gets discussed on the other site: strategy analysis, log reviews, What Would You Discard, M-League, news, etc.

Sadly I think I might be the only person here who plays.

Solar Sensor? It's been a childhood dream of mine to be able to play Shin Bokura no Taiyou: Gyakushuu no Sabata with both the translation patch and the Solar Sensor at the same time.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
They're kind of just really damn bad at being currencies. Transaction times and fees make them too difficult to use for anything short of money laundering. But actually decently suited to that one purpose since other forms of laundering are usually even more expensive.
Even worse though is the deflationary nature also disincentivizes ever using them as currency. They're instead being treated as speculative assets, people buy crypto not because they actually want to use crypto, but because they expect to sell it to another bagholder later. But of course the only way to profit off crypto in this way is for someone else to lose. And yet people still try to pretend it's a currency even when no one will ever use it as such, because it sounds more legitimate that way.
And this in turn has made crypto an incredibly attractive target for scams and grifts. Pump-and-dumps are everywhere, but even when people know this they still try to get in hoping they'll be the one to win this time.
Crypto really is just a solution in search of a problem, and every now and then you'll see cryptobros insisting they have the next big thing in NFTs, smart contracts, whatever bullshit they're pushing next. But none of it has ever been anything more than a vehicle to try and find a new way to rip someone else off. They just need to convince you they have something to sell here so that you'll be the next sucker.
Bitcoin has been around since 2008, and in all that time, it's still not amounted to anything more than one big grift.

The person I replied said Nintendo wasn't making their old games playable at all. You're complaining about something else.

Bit of an odd example to cite since both Golden Sun games are officially available on NSO.

Well then it sounds like you know the answer to your question. Are you actually asking to ask, or just to soapbox?

Does "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" count for both?
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 1 week ago:
Attending Combo Breaker is the highlight of my year every year. In 2025 I was able to fit Frosty Faustings into my travel budget too. Managed to make top 16 in Mystery Bracket both times, and they were very wild bracket runs. I saw Gyakuten Puzzle Bancho and turned to my opponent to utter a sentence no one wants to hear in Mystery: "I'm sorry, I know how to play this game." Also at CB I was able to make it out of pools in Under Night In-Birth II, and it was a hella stacked bracket so I'm pretty happy with that one.
Been focusing more on my mahjong career, attended Riichi Nomi Open and Philadelphia Riichi Open as my first two tournaments. Didn't do so hot though. But of course, when I win it's because I'm skilled, when I lose it was just bad luck.
New arcade opened up near me with modded Maimai, Wacca, and Chunithm cabinets. I told myself I'm never going back to Round 1 again, though R1 does have the new official international Maimai now so I guess that's something. I also got back into Dance Dance Revolution a little, but I'm still not very good.
As for actual new releases, Deltarune is obvious. Kirby Air Riders is a sequel I waited 22 years for, and it was worth the wait. The original is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm blown away by how much higher they raised the bar. Online City Trial is everything childhood me ever dreamed of. And I have to shout out Rhythm Doctor finally exiting Early Access, the final chapter is a wonderful conclusion that gave me a lot of emotions.

Visual novels would be good if you're looking for something low-energy.
- Comment on Bits & Bops, a rhythm minigame collection, has been released on Steam 2 weeks ago:
One of the bonus levels in Rhythm Doctor is a Bits and Bops collab. There's also an Unbeatable level, so it's a funny coincidence to have all three games launch in the same week.

- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 3 weeks ago:
People stay on mainstream corporate platforms no matter how badly they enshittify because that's where everyone else is. They don't want to jump ship unless everyone else will jump ship with them, and so nobody makes the first move.
Lemmy isn't more popular because Lemmy isn't more popular. Lemmy wants to be an alternative to Reddit, but the best thing Reddit had going for it was all the niche communities for fandoms, hobbies, and other interests. That's something that just can't exist here, because if you take a niche thing and multiply it by a niche platform, I'll bet that I might very well be the only person on this platform who is into some of my hyperfixations. So people who want to talk about topics that have no community here, leave and go back to bigger platforms.
I'm still here to try and push for a better future, but I honestly don't know how we can grow this place to the kind of critical mass it would take to really get the ball rolling.

- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 weeks ago:
I don't think every Fediverse platform needs to support every type of post, and I especially don't think it's an impending catastrophe if they don't. In fact I think it's better to specialize. Even though Mbin supports microblogging, I prefer using this account solely for threads and a separate Pleroma account for microblogging.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn't worry. Dread was extremely well received, and set up a big plot hook for a continuation.

Little Witch Academia immediately comes to mind when I hear the word colorful.

How do they deal with CSAM and other illegal material? (I'm guessing the answer is that they don't)

I think you're describing the Nintendo DS.
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 4 weeks ago:
Kirby Air Riders definitely feels like it keeps that spirit alive. The game could've just been City Trial and I would've paid $70 just to play City Trial, but they packed everything else in there too because they could.
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 4 weeks ago:
The Fiend's Cauldron from Kid Icarus Uprising. At the start of a stage, you have to wager currency on how high of a difficulty you want to attempt, on a sliding scale from 0.0 to 9.0. Higher difficulties cost more to play, and if you fail, you lose your bet and the difficulty drops if you choose Continue. It's an interesting system for how it forces you to check your ego and self-evaluate just how much you think you can handle.
