I played an amazing game called EMUUROM recently. It's hard being in the "I don't want to spoil people on social media" camp, because there's so much I WANT to say about it, but so little I CAN. If you like games where you're best off keeping notes and making maps, try it out!

I met some people at TouhouFest! Not pictured but equally cool: the game devs that had booths set up there, a fellow translator, and plenty of regular Touhou fans! I had a great time overall, and I'll do whatever it takes to make it back again next year and for many years after!

I may have acquired a few CDs at TouhouFest Will show my haul in detail after I get home Also I have to toss out clothes to make room in my luggage

I'm at TouhouFest and have mostly recovered from my flight! (I'm still in the process of absorbing caffeine)

Spirit wolves, spirit jellyfish, spirit imps, spirit skeletons, spirit mimic tears... Yeah we allow these here, but you're saying you want to summon your spirit HORSE? I dunno, that's kinda cringe, might be against regulations too but I'd have to check, so could you just... not?

I've had countless crazy issues with various programs lately and a friend told me to start a side channel and make complain-y showcase videos, but that's surely not something people would watch... right? Here's how Shutter Encoder breaks if you type "we" in this field too fast

yeah, uh... no thanks

The Orin on my keychain is just for me, and so is the Teto. Right before the con, a friend of mine showed me FLAVOR FOLEY's song "Spoken For," and I've listened to it countless times since. Two different stalls at Animazement had keychains of Teto from the song! ↓ continued

My keychains have been mostly unchanged for a few years, so going into the con, I knew I wanted to get new ones representing two of my best friends. I got Nazrin to represent one friend and wanted Hiro (from Gakuen Idolmaster) for the other... ↓ continued

I got these games – the only two non-expansion prizes – for beating Rensenware, which the Touhou Road Shou had set up in the game room. Left is Yabou no Gensokyo (by Chiyuudou, the Harvest Yuuka devs) and right is Touhou Fugyouseki ~ Nightmare of Sleeping Girl. ↓ continued

Just like last year, I came down with a cold after getting home from Animazement. But I'm 99% recovered now, so here's the neat stuff I got this year! (and Orin, who I forgot was from last year) Bonus rambling about social anxiety and conventions also included. ↓ continued

Sometimes I hear people say Heavyblade's damage isn't that great but have you considered: just always take Mountain Staff

You'll never guess what I got up to at Animazement this year

also here was the build, having a comfy "hold Z" build definitely helped with dodging patterns blind

Okay so I got my first Kingdom Lunar clear 1. On one of my worst characters 2. Despite only having ever beat 2 Kingdom areas before I managed to wing it on Merran and Shira was way easier than I thought she'd be. Very mixed feelings about this but, uh, cool I guess?

Mmm I love when Nvidia Instant Replay corrupts my footage and turns my first Lunar Farrah win into a genuine creepypasta

I knew some of my cats liked to sleep in this cat crate with a blanket in it, but I didn't know they liked to close the door for their naps in there until I noticed Avery in there just now

and here's a clip for the road for the mystery lovers out there

Played the demo of Outbound with a couple friends and while we weren't all that impressed with the game itself we managed to find things to have fun with

I saved records of my {excellent} Mike run of Gensouband in March 2023 with the intent of posting them but they gathered digital dust for a while Past me of 3 years ago, are you watching? Gaze upon this compilation made for the < 10 English-speaking Gensouband players out there

I'm translating 46flare's (@4629.bsky.social) new game, Fairy Sweet Days! It's a simulation game where you work in a sweets shop alongside Lily (but has other scenarios too!). Releases May 5th. $5 on Ko-fi or Patreon before May 4th gets your name in the game! store.steampowered.com/app/3979280/_/

Frenzied flame trolls are bad enough already but I'm admittedly even less of a fan of Reforged's secret boss one that has passively spawning homing exploding flame skulls

My good friend @ferdyslab.bsky.social made me a very special Rabbit and Steel skin for my birthday a few days back (sound effects featured in this video are not part of the skin)

Apparently I found the Mii Gunner Evergaol

Apparently the lasers on this Laiza attack can trap you into unavoidable damage like this sometimes if you try to stay in a tight spot (and yes I was watching SimpleFlips on my second monitor while playing)

Look I've played enough Elden Ring to know that tracking attacks can be a little much sometimes but I'm starting to formulate a Game Theory™ that omenkillers are secretly skilled in gravity magic

I'm playing modded Elden Ring and they made the throwable pots pretty powerful but naturally when I try to rely on them to finish something off, they decide to take two days off without prior warning
