Here's me trying to get back into writing again. Introducing another one of my PMD Fanfic OC, Ron the Espurr! I posted his pic before, but it's the first time I wrote a short story about him. Pic by @mourreon.pmd.social!

Had another wild, vivid dream last night. This time it was about me requesting days off, to take a 5 day vacation to Japan. And despite me having unfinished work, my superior is okay with it. It was vivid to me because in reality, I do have unspent days off.

Just got a sudden idea of how to portray one of my PMD characters that I've been considering for a while. Key phrases being: hood, hidden face. Might flesh it out a little before commissioning someone to draw it!

I've seen this statement on the other site, and I've been reading the discourse that comes out from it. People have been discussing whether Anime, and by extension all art is political or not. My question is, if all art are political, is there any harm from that?

Bro, I hate comparison. Sometimes, for a second, the "x" amount of success someone has shrinks everything you have into something so insignificant, it's hard to see. Fuck that though man. Them popping off doesn't take away from what you might end up doing, nor does it invalidate your efforts now.

Oh yeah, I love this Parry skill. I usually avoid using countering skills in games because I'm afraid I might miss the timing, but Silksong already conditioned me to read my enemy's moves in advance. And this looks flashy and cool.

And just like that, I defeated another boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong. And I love Hornet's finisher at the end. Her attacks get parried throughout the whole fight, and so Hornet gives the opponent a taste of her own medicine.

...Okay, I did not know this bench in the Exhaust Organ exists. Serves me right for not exploring every nook and cranny of the place. I thought the player is expected to go through the previous level and defeat the boss in one go... ...I feel dumb, and I hate The Mist level less now.

Oh my God, I HATE The Mist level in Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Why are engaged franchise fans so angry when fan games/mods/etc. that they've never played are taken down? (Spoiler: Removing the option triggers the loss aversion in our brains) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/7951327...

If I can be honest here for a second. I don't consider myself a good person. Far from that. I'm pretty sure if someone, anyone, knows every aspect of me, inside and out, they would not want to be friends with me. And it's hard for me to allow myself to change.

Hmm. So, I was confused because the mod example was not detailed in the IGN article, but apparently Pocketpair is talking about something like a Dark Souls 3 mod taking Pokémon as inspiration, instead of a Pokémon game being modded. Basically they are arguing since prior examples like that mod...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M ONLY NOW STARTING ACT 2!?

Been continuing to play Hollow Knight Silksong. I'm glad I'm able to defeat this boss. And as soon as I saw the smoke I knew I needed to get the hell away.

I keep having vivid dreams about my old Middle and High school place(same location). Like to the point where I am able to visualize the place perfectly. I wonder if that means I should make a story with a school setting.

I just had a dream last night where I went back to my Middle School. That part is usual for my dreams. What's not usual is the part where Masahiro Sakurai is somehow the one teaching me and other students. Oh, and we stayed the night in the classroom, too. Pretty wild.

Trying tom play Digimon: Time Stranger. The demo at least. Looks interesting so far.

Close enough, welcome back Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

MEGAMAN STARFORCE LEGACY COLLECTION!? WAIT WHAT WHY IS THIS ONLY IN THE JP DIRECT??? THIS WOULD BE MY HIGHLIGHT GAME FOR SURE!

A few games and announcements in that Direct that got me intrigued. Danganronpa 2 is getting a remake, new Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter Stories, Hyrule Warriors, Super Mario Galaxy movie. And we even got a sort of PMD... If you squint. Not one game got me especially excited, but not a bad Direct.

About to watch Nintendo Direct on the hospital bed.

Friend. Why are you so cute.

Can't do much while in the hospital. But at least I can play some Silksong. Just beat this boss. Not too hard, but the animations are cool. Adult and graphic media filter just in case you don't want to be spoiled.

Now I'm somehow staying in hospital. Apparently I got the Dengue Fever, and I need infusion as a result. Honestly, I feel fine, if a little under the weather. Let's just hope my condition gets better.

I've had a fever for the last 3 days... I've gotten better, but still haven't fully recovered. Note to self: don't play Futsal during the night the same day you went to the gym. Your body won't like it.

Figured I should finish this first before continuing Silksong. Kirby and The Forgotten Land: Star-Crossed Worlds completed! Still haven't gotten all the figures or finished the arena yet, but those can wait.

Following the hype. #HollowKnightSilksong

You know, I realize it's easy to want something, but it's harder to actually act to get what you want. Like, I honestly want to publish another PMD fanfiction. At least a short story. That feeling of "want" comes up from time to time. But whether I actually do it in the end is kinda up in the air.

The PMD Community is alive and well. New fanfics with new stories and worlds are coming out all the time. New comics left and right. Romhacks are increasing in regularity. New players discover the PMD games and brainrot over EOS like it's 2008 all over again. We're all doin' just fine. <3

I was wondering... Stories that I've experienced so far feature villainous characters who eventually meet a terrible end. Or punihsed in some way. Are there any stories that feature such characters and get redemption instead? Particularly those whose past actions cannot be justified in any way.

Yep, I started playing this. I was actually playing Monster Hunter Stories 2 before this, but that game will have to wait. Kirby and The Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. Man that title is too long.

A little PSA: If someone in your Discord DMs comes at you with *this*, there's a very high chance this is a scam. Best to ignore/block them if they do.

Finally. One of my favorite tracks in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, because of how distinctly different and melancholic it is. And, as I would learn later, composed by someone who is around my age.

Well, that Kirby Air Riders Direct was cool. I'm glad that the game will feature more characters in the Kirby series. It's been quite a while since Sakurai was involved in a Kirby game, after all. And speaking of him, it's nice to hear his voice in a video again.

Today is my birthday. Just wanted to say that :v

Does anyone else feel like they can't receive compliments? Like, whenever someone compliments me, even knowing all the efforts I took, I just have this feeling that I don't deserve it. Because I just don't deserve to be complimented at all.

Well, that's a short game. I realized later that I'm playing the European game using a Japanese Keyboard, and while the layout's mostly the same, some things are different, like the placement of apostrophe and such. So sometimes a symbol would appear, and I have no idea what key to press :v

This arrived in the mail today. Honestly, this thing piqued my interest. I was wondering how it would feel playing this Pokémon game with a Physical Keyboard. And despite the keyboard being a bit small, it's actually quite comfortable.

Kirby and the Forgotteb Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World looks to be a decent additional experience + update to the original game. But man that title kinda sucks. Reeks of a similar vibe to "New Nintendo 2DS XL".

I got a DM like this just a few days ago. Be careful of who you interact with and what info you share online!

Oh btw you should also definitely check out this one #pmdday #mysterydungeon #mundomisterioso

As of right now, my original account is under temporary suspension while Bluesky Support tries to find a way to restore it. Until then, I will continue to operate this account, maintaining my gaming journals and artwork.

NEW PINNED POST DETAILING WHAT HAPPENED! I recommend reposting AND quote-reposting to spread the word so everyone knows what happened and why things ended up that way!

Just as a heads up, for anyone who is following @decibelcoatl.bsky.social, their account has been hacked. I got a message from that account telling me that they accidentally reported my account and told me to contact them on discord, possibly to scam. Please ignore DMs from that account for now!

Happy Pokémon Mystery Dungeon day! Here's an art of my OC I commissioned, along with a short fanfic I wrote about him! #MysteryDungeon #MundoMisterioso

I wish I could've written something for PMD Day tomorrow, but well... At least I already have a profile pic. Will probably repost some of my short fanfics here.

Regarding Nintendo Direct date leaks, it's always safe to take them with a grain of salt. But at this point I think we can safely say that whoever @natethehate2.bsky.social gets his source from, it's fairly credible. Not that he doesn't get things wrong, but still. youtu.be/NYkD9QCBp4Y?...

Tried the Nintendo Online Playtest Program today. Huh. Interesting. Before I knew it, I got hooked, and played for > 2 hours.
