retro 2000s otaku aesthetic vlog
At the time of writing this is y3wew's newest video. This is pretty much a standard video from him but I'm putting it here due to the description. He often will leave a 'blog post' in the description where he adds some additional context to things he only talks about briefly. As an online artist what he said really resonated with me!
lost in translation ✫
Clicked because the thumbnail reminded me of Jim Henson's Labyrinth! Banger editing; the start makes me think about how I wanted to go to the strangely flat world that Blue and Steve inhabit in Blues Clues. All of her videos make me long for those old Spanish lesson videos that were made along side those heavy lime green text books from the 2000s. I can still smell the classroom; a strange mix of fresh crisp air from the windows, well loved(and hated) textbooks that had been handled by at least 100 other students, and the thick smell of home made slime that had been dropped so many times it had turn into a gross muted gray. Oops this is just turning into a 'youtube video' list haha. dw the next thing will be something different :D
Zelle RPGSee told you next thing would be different! This game understands the joy of a good fable. It feels like reading a Greek myth or an old fairy tale. The way religious concepts are used only adds to the Greek parallel. Gods nor demons care about you unless on some holy quest. You are just a child but that doesn't matter to ones who challenge infinity it self.
Collective Unconscious/YNO
Hey you! YES YOU! Are you a freak that can't get enough of Yume Nikki and want, NO NEED more! Well your in luck because the Yume Nikki Online project (YNO) not only host Yume Nikki and many game inspired by it. It also allows for multiplayer so you can play with friends! I've been playing the fan game Collective Unconscious and it is slowly becoming one of my favorite games :D
Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to be a Magical Girl (PILOT ANIMATIC) ✫
This is the kind of adult animation that speaks to me the most! Now to be clear I love dark humor and people just being the worst is funny to me but that being said...why is most of adult animation so mean all the time? It get so boring after a while but luckily this show is light, silly, and still adult! Honestly the tone reminds me of Power Puff Girls but with a bit more edge to it. Hope this show get the fan base it deserves!
Gunsmith Cats (Dub) Episode 1
So at the time of writing this I have only seen the first episode so I don't know if the rest of this anime is as good as the first episode but even if the rest of the show sucks...the first episode is just such a good time! Maybe I'm just bias since it takes place in Chicago(used to live around there)and one of the main girls is a way less evil unabomber which is like my favorite type of character. Its just fun and I was able to get sucked into that world and adventure so easily.
Princess Maker 2(DOS)
I decided to replay PM2 again yesterday and I was very swiftly reminded as to why I didn't play it again for such a long time. Normally, I’m not the type to be upset by grinding in video games. It doesn’t really bother me. In fact I really enjoy it due to being able to do something both repetitive and completely random in a controlled environment that doesn’t affect my day-to-day life. That being said, I understand why people hate grinding specifically because of this game. The first chunk of this game is such a slog to get through!
I really do love this game despite all of my complaints because you raise your daughter in that game to be one of many different roles by managing a sickening amount of stats, I find that game play to be very interesting! I decided for this play through to attempt to make my daughter(Named Lumie) a warrior or knight of some kind. By the end of it, I managed to make her the High General, which was rather difficult. I was rewarded with the gorgeous sprite work that is only viewable by achieving such ranks(or by looking it up BUT I’M NOT A CHEATER). The game really is gorgeous and fun 10/10 if you have daddy issues and want to prove it’s not that hard lmao!
