I beat Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter! This remake built upon the foundations of its predecessor, surpassing it in every way while touting a much more polished EN translation & voice direction. Felt so emotional reliving favorite moments lovingly rebuilt with phenomenal animation.

Really struggling to find the words regarding the news about Jun Maeda. It's just so sad. So very sad. It breaks my heart that the world can sometimes be so very cruel. He's touched so many hearts & brightened so many days. It's just so awful.

Jun Maeda has been diagnosed with pharyngeal cancer after a medical exam following more pronounced pain and swelling in his throat. He has chosen not to pursue active treatment and instead will focus on palliative care, wishing to conserve his strength and devote himself to his creative work.

Really interesting interview concerning ELF and the difficulties of categorizing Dōkyūsei before the term “dating-sim” (恋愛ゲーム) came to existence. So here is an archived and primary source explaining how Dōkyūsei was a “nanpa” (ナンパ) game.

It got a little dinged up in transit but it's here! 🙏

Happy birthday to Yu Satsuki from "Tokimeki Memorial 4"! I've always loved how she's basically the game's equivalent to the evil Shiori Fujisaki right down to how demanding she is to get under the tree stat-wise.
