IMPORTANT NEWS: I recently placed top 8 in my local Densha De Go tournament at @100yenlife.bsky.social!! I’m not very good at the game compared to everyone else who played, but I did my best to put on a SHOW. Here’s a highlight reel of my best and worst plays.

It would be an interesting concept to make a seemingly normal hunting game but the world is increasingly falling apart and the game never acknowledges it
