What's New

7/11/2025

Hey folks! Did you like the murder mom article? I know I did! Thanks again to Lillie for working so diligently. She basically wrote it in a feral, lesbian frenzy, which is the kind of work ethic I can approve of!

I'll be honest, I don't have a new article ready for you all just yet. But, I am working on an ultra-special project that IS related to the website! It's been taking up my writing time, but I'm extremely excited about it and can't wait to share more with you all as soon as I can.

I might turn it into a full article later, but since I saw you last I got Under Night In Birth 2, or "2NI" as my friend calls it. This is my new favorite fighting game, it's really that good. You've heard that before I'm sure if you're a fighting gamer, but take it from me too! It's not as much trouble to get matches as you might've heard. I'm playing Merkava right now, but everyone is cool in this game and you can pick up the basics very quickly thanks to the great training modes.

This was supposed to be the summer of Superman! It's so farking hot! Who wants to go outside like this?

Listen up everyone, our next guest article is here! Murder Mom Has Got It Going On by a good friend of mine, Lillie! I reached out to her to MAKE this piece. When better to reach out to someone to collab than when they've lost their mind? Anyway, she did a great job, so I'm hoping this one will bang on Bluesky.

I've been reading through the Animerica (and other) magazines. Anime used to be such a small hobby by comparison! Of course, that's the impression you get when you're laying back and reading mags from the past. It seems all idyllic and simple. Still, I think it would be fair to say people didn't have the same immediate access to things in, say, 1993 like they do in 2025. It's been a lot of fun, and I've got a ton more to look over!

I was so scared that I wouldn't get another update in before June was up! Eeek! Thankfully I've got something super cool, my write-up for my visit to HeroesCon! I got some really special stuff and met someone extremely cool (to me), so go ahead and click to find out who!

I think I've never mentioned it here, but the latest episode of The Amazing Digital Circus finally dropped after, what, a six month wait? But you know what, it was worth it. My friends and I had a little watch party together with pizza, and, just like HeroesCon, it was one of the best things I've done recently. It was so much fun! We all howled laughing at some of the best jokes and scenes...I think I'll buy myself a plushie of Jax sooner or later.

How's it going? I'm very pleased to present our latest guest article, about Sukeban Deka! I think you'll like it.

Coincidentally, it's the day before my birthday. I'm about to be 30 years old. I'm mostly neutral about it, but it seems like that's the new hot age. I'm also not a big birthday celebrator (when it comes to myself, at least,) but I will say I'm happy that this is my first birthday as a lovely young lady. When I was finalizing my decision to transition, I had a feeling that I didn't want to celebrate my 30th as a guy. So, congratulations to me!

I started buying some floppy comic books again...I'm sure I'll regret it later, but I got a lot of interesting, inexpensive items, so I'm pleased for now. I kind of want to talk about them in something like a YouTube video, but I'm not quite equipped with the gear and setup. Still, I'm now a proud owner of two copies of the Ninja High School STD special. Good for me!

It's finally time to talk about Sonic again! Thank goodness. Speaking of games, I've found myself more or less addicted to Nubby's Number Factory. Oops. They finally got me. Guilty Gear Strive's new character, Unika, is setting the world on fire with her coolness and high damage.

I've been streaming a little bit on Twitch, something I don't think I've done since pre-pandemic. Wow! But it's a hoot, it's been a lot of fun.

The new Pokémon set, Destined Rivals is out now. I'm still kind of on the fence about what I'll pick up, but I might go for the Cynthia's cards and get some other miscellaneous Trainer cards.

5/19/2025

The big(?) Undertale article is here, in which I give my thoughts on the game and talk a bit about some potential bias I might have. I really enjoyed putting this one together. It's also got nice big images directly from my Nintendo Switch to you. Isn't that nice?

As I'm writing this, Dragapult ex just took the Utrecht Special Event in the Pokémon TCG. It's amazing how much the game has changed where this slower, set up, disruption heavy play is so prominent and powerful. This was almost unimaginable a year ago. To be honest, I think there's a very high skill ceiling in the game the right now. It's always been important to plan ahead in Pokémon, but I've been seeing more and more 5D Chess at regionals, it feels like. You have a lot to consider for every matchup no matter which major deck you go with. It's almost dizzying. Munkidori has changed everything. I did well at my local prerelease for Destined Rivals scoring myself seven(!) packs in all. The league cup I mentioned last time, I did not do particularly well. Heheh.

5/10/2025

The Yu Yu Hakusho finale is here! Truthfully, I'm glad that this one is finally complete, and I hope at least one kind soul out there enjoys it.

Speaking of comics, I've read roughly the first 200(!) comics published for Sonic the Hedgehog by Archie Comics. While a full, full breakdown would probably kill me (and you've already got a brilliant one!), expect that some time in the near future. It's been wild. It's probably my favorite thing I'm currently doing.

I also finished revisiting Undertale after nearly ten years. Wow. If the next post I do is game related, it'll certainly be that. You may have seen my thoughts already on Bluesky, but I promise to elaborate in a neat way!

I'm going to a Pokémon League Cup today...I'm rusty as all hell, and playing rogue, but let's go anyway~!

After a lot of fun and turmoil, today you can play my Mega Man demo made with Phaser. Capcom please don't come after me! Also, unlike Deer Clicker, this one can't be played on your phone. I'm sorry! I'm actually still not quite sure how I could put in both keyboard controls and swipe/touch. I believe it's possible though.

I was recently invited by one of the nice devs (on Newgrounds, no less) of the Kaplay library to try it out. So, that will be my next web game project. I have good things to say about Phaser, but I think I mentioned in my Deer Clicker: Behind the Scenes, my general Javascript skills are very weak. Urk...

By the way, it's been fun to watch the Switch 2 pre-order saga across various posts. Good luck, everyone!

4/15/2025

I'm back on track with the penultimate installment of my Yu Yu Hakusho retrospective, where everything in the story starts falling apart for real!

I told myself that I couldn't read all of Yu-Gi-Oh until I finish the retrospective, so hopefully you'll see the conclusion before too long! I think it's working as far as motivation goes.

I recently wore a pretty Pokémon necklace out to an event, but nobody noticed it. Seriously, no one notices a shiny rainbow hanging from my neck? Bwahhh!

Nearly two weeks away...so sad! Well, I have made some good progress on my next game demo, but sometimes that delays the writing...

The big news this week, of course, was the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal that captivated the world. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it, myself, and just where I'm at with video games in general. It's a brief little bummer of a post, but I hope someone sees a little bit of how they might be feeling in there.

Rotation is soon for the Pokémon TCG. I think I'm all in on Feraligatr, it's a super fun deck to play, but I've got a wall deck in my back pocket just in case. They both have Milotic ex, and I didn't buy extras. Oops...

3/24/2025

Last week, I started playing Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel again, which somehow produced a new article from me about how digital TCGs have a lot of pain points that conflict with the sort of fantasy that exists around card games. This one is totally ramble mode...I hope you like it though! I have fun putting these together and just letting the writing come out.

As I'm writing this, they just revealed the Venom trailer for Guilty Gear Strive! He looks pretty awesome, not that I expected anything else. I'm pretty shocked to see Robo-Ky though! He's not my favorite character, but not so much so that I'm not happy to see him in some form. They're also fixing the god awful tower mode and putting a normal ranked mode. That's awesome! Thanks! I always play this game in spurts, so I think when that and Unika come out, I'll give it a whirl again.

3/16/2025

I'm back with some more Transformers write-ups! Beast Machines was a wild ride, and an extremely enjoyable one at that.

Speaking of Transformers, I had a really shameful run on eBay where I won three auctions, assuming I wouldn't. Well, I get a bunch of cool toys, but I don't like to be a regular spender like that. I'm putting it on the site to humble myself. But maybe I'll review a toy or two? You probably saw Tigerhawk and Leo Convoy on my Bluesky. Tigerhawk is probably my favorite Transformer I've ever had, I think he looks super awesome in Beast Mode especially.

The Looney Tunes movie finally came out in the United States. I want to go see it, but I don't want to go alone. I'd feel bad if I didn't support the movie though!

Lastly, I haven't gone to play Pokémon TCG in a little while, mostly because of my transition. I'm planning to come back to regular play after the 2025 rotation though. So long, PokéStop!

I really missed you guys! So badly, that I stayed up all night to try and get the next post ready for you. It kept growing, but I've got a special special behind the scenes look at Deer Clicker for you! It covers a lot of what makes Deer Clicker tick. The response to the game has absolutely delighted me. Game development is amazing. Programming is also amazing, wouldn't you say?

I deeriously need to sleep, so...love y'all!
