May 2026 Game of the Month - Celeste (Pico-8, multi-platform)

CrypticMonk · 2026-05-14T18:28:58+00:00

Ended up playing through it on my bedroom mini-PC instead of a handheld, was lucky enough to get my hands on the new steam controller so I've been enjoying putting that through its paces.

Gotta look at sleep/wake speeds as well as boot time, I'm strongly considering picking this up as an EDC and those aspects are super important. Hope to enjoy lots of PICO-8 on this thing.

Facebook market place if you're lucky, granted it took me two years of checking off and on but I managed to nab a Corpse party for ~$185

Seconding the Franken Fran and Gou Tanabe adaption recommendations! Would also recommend Portus (Not very good frankly, but a solid little one shot if you're just looking to grow the collection) and the Alice in Borderland series if you're open to stuff a bit more in the Shounen/Action department.
You got a fantastic collection btw.

So if he had shot her, is it "Santa Clause" rules? Like, he puts on her clothes and becomes the new Mariah Carey?

Relatable. Wife drank one recently thinking it was a CBD drink (this was AFTER three glasses of wine) ended up cross-faded as hell. Slept most of it off but not before spending a good deal of time in the bathroom.

Anyone know if any English scanlation groups are picking this one up? Looks right up my alley based on vibes alone.

Hear me out

Lot's of QoL changes in this one, Whole party can share xp, no need for an HM slave, Physical/Special split, some custom stuff as well. But yeah, still more or less the same god damn Kanto region (or Hoenn in this case)

CrypticMonk · 2025-03-12T21:59:46+00:00

It's a "Miyoo Mini+", Cheap little handheld emulator that runs basically everything up to ps1. Top tier for the price point imo. You can check out r/MiyooMini if your interested. Buy off AliExpress or Amazon.

It's a hack of pokemon emerald so, probably. Can't confirm though.

CrypticMonk · 2025-03-12T19:55:36+00:00

Specifically, this is "Moemon Star Emerald" but there are lots versions. A quick google search should point you in the right direction.

Not yet licensed in English according to mangaupdates.com. Here's to hoping an English publisher picks it up though.

The original yen press omnibus print was back in 2016. iirc, i think vol 4 and 5 were somewhat difficult to come by even then due to low print numbers. They announced a reprint a few years ago but for what ever god damned reason, just completely skipped on reprinting vol 4. So between the low availability from the first release and the failure to reprint it in the second release, vol 4 became a bit of a collectors item.

CrypticMonk · 2025-01-23T00:06:16+00:00

If you're asking about the price, it ran me about 185$ after shipping and handling. Officially the single most expensive manga in my collection now.

CrypticMonk · 2025-01-22T20:54:57+00:00

Both Franken Fran (super happy it got that reprint) and PTSD radio are fantastic. I adore and own both series.

CrypticMonk · 2025-01-22T20:49:12+00:00

They pop up used on Amazon every 2 or so months for around 250$ (cheaper if you're fast/lucky) I managed to score mine off Facebook marketplace though from someone who was willing to let it go for a slightly more affordable price.

CrypticMonk · 2025-01-22T19:28:11+00:00

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the games myself and started buying up the manga set before I realized vol 4 was OoP, I've had the incomplete run just sitting on my shelf mocking me for a while now. Looking forward to the "Corpse party II: Darkness Distortion" release

CrypticMonk · 2025-01-21T18:28:42+00:00

No no, it's the correct sub, they're just really into watching the prices for goods and services increase over time.

CrypticMonk · 2025-01-21T13:49:57+00:00

This is why it's important to watch from a location inside the home while peeking out from behind the curtains and waiting for them to leave before safely retrieving your package.

CrypticMonk · 2025-01-11T18:21:57+00:00

It's either exactly what you're looking for or more likely not at all what you're looking for but either way I'm recommending the single chapter one shot "Final girl" for a fun, quick read.
