February 14, 2016August 10, 2025

So Day 3 of Katsucon was the day that the Hotel caught fire! It wasn’t a big fire, I hear it was a small kitchen fire or something, but nonetheless, everyone had to evacuate the building until the fire department checked the building.

Happy Otome Release Day! Homura The Crimson Warriors is officially out! I'm still pretty early on in the story, but I'm working towards either Saizo or Sasuke's routes. Sasuke is giving kuudere/tsun vibes and Saizo is a walking read flag... and I 100% believe I can fix them. Jest Messters is a mystery rom-com otome game where you're cursed by a jester to make cringey dad jokes! Uncover the truth behind your curse and romance 4 quirky suitors! The character design in Baldur's Gate 3 is TOP TIER! (Yes all the men in my party are in their undies... mama likes her eye candy) I think my otome husband might be a yandere... 🤔 I was playing @littlesnakestudio.official's House of Petals and IDK, Han is giving Toma vibes. Jest Messters is the punniest otome! I was playing the demo for Under Heaven or Hell... and I noticed something interesting about Zane's sprite design 🤔 My bestie @_myimy put me onto Low Tide in Twilight and few years back and it quickly became one of my fave series. I'm kinda into it (and before y'all ask the game is called Unleashed) #indiegame #streamclips #gameplay Himbo hunting #starsandisland #indiegame #streamclips
