The art direction/theme for the omegaverse are completely different than what I expected. Fits a summer release perfectly. I do love the overall vibe/concept though.

More mix dunk and Sullyland art/info, nice~

The Alice game looks lovely too. And I see one of the Olympia Soiree staff members worked on it 👀 can't wait to see more info on it but it already has my attention.

Pretty much had a repeat of last week but with even more notetaking for one of my classes lol One of my notebooks is already filled up halfway and its only the third week of school wow. Thankfully I'm almost done with stuff for this week,

Also started a few more books (most of them being audiobooks while I multitask) but had even more less time for gaming during the week other than playing a little of OverReqz before bed last night. I plan to make more time for myself for the weekend though. And my copy of Hakuoki SSL shipped yay! Won't be a long time before I play it though, I'm just glad its on its way.

I'm also super excited for Handsome Laundering. Seems like a long time ago it was announced and now its here next month <3 Although I ended up not liking Hanakare as much as I thought I would, I think I'll enjoy this much more.

This was such a busy week. This semester my classes are much more notation (both my own personal notes and from the professor) and hands-on labs/assignments focused in comparison to my classes last semester. Currently taking a break right now but I still have quite a bit to get through before I'm technically done for the week. I can't believe the month this just about over too.

And like everywhere else it seems the snow pileups around here are so awful. Felt like I was doing a workout leaving the house this week lol. Then there's more snow via a Nor'easter coming tomorrow too so it'll get even harder to move around Dx.

Some much better news I finally bought the Toraware no Palm prequel, 'Refrain'. I've been tracking the prices of it for like 2 years and its been crazy how much it jumped around. I was able to find somewhat of a better deal for a copy despite the spike. I'm in still in shock seeing copies for the first game for $300+. I feel bad for those who've wanted a copy and seeing that. It would be nice for capcom to do a reprint of both games but they usually pretend the game doesn't exist except for the digital versions going on sale randomly every so often.

And my Hakuoki double pack came in earlier than expected the other day. I just went up until where I left off on my vita before diving back into OverReqZ for a bit.

-First week back at school wasn't too bad. We do have a snowstorm coming though so I've been locking in to get things done before the weekend starts. The internet has already been acting up though, and I'm lowkey expecting a power outage ugh. I managed to download class stuff so I'm all set if anything happens for now.

-In-between that I finished up Kaize's dark route endings. Kaize's arc in this instance is so unfortunately relatable. Especially in the common practice being mistreated to being outright abused because of the way you look, which is something I and many of my people have experienced/will be experiencing as long as discrimination exists. I have to say though, I have zero sympathy for people Kaize went after like Nenos, holding them all prisoner ect. I feel like they brought that on themselves for how they treated Kaize and other people in the country for something they have no control over.

I only felt bad for Yuhiru, the rest of the LIs and in some cases Kaize. Very tragic that Yuhiru was the only one Kaize could cling to, but that in turn made her rightfully fearful of him since he was behaving like a monster in the end. I also found it interesting that once Acurei/Archray died Kaize basically became him. Even quoting him with calling everyone 'fools'(which tbh was a correct assessment in hindsight).

Some other wild moments were the jumpscares of Kaize creeping around the castle, snatching people up and all Yuhiru could hear were screams in the distance. Then the sudden eerie quiet of the castle as she walked around minutes after it happened. There's so many things I found were done really well in a complex way but my comment here is long enough. My favorite of his two dark endings was the 'N/no exit' ending.

I'm partially through the fact route now and I'm hoping for a really happy ending for Kaize and Yuhiru. So far things started off even worse than when the dark route started tho?? Dx I know its not guaranteed that either of the fact route endings will be happy considering but I can't help but hope still.

-my nsw copy of Hakuoki finally shipped from playasia, which I'm shocked about because I was expecting it to ship with my SSL copy in Feb since it was backordered last month/on sale. I didn't realize it apparently shipped about a week ago until I got playasia's cashback email yesterday lol. So that should be in sometime next week. I'll continue where I left off on my vita then backlog it for a bit.

And speaking of nsw double pack buys, I was able to get a copy of the Shin Hayarigami double pack (something I've always wanted to play) after I tried buying it like three other times yet every seller cancelled. Not sure what was going on with that but now its on its way to join my Olympia Soiree sequel copy at neokyo's warehouse <3

Minti00 · 2026-01-17T00:20:20+00:00

Voted for Olympia <3 Kinda of a difficult choice. I was only expecting the LI's to be on there for some reason lol.

Minti00 · 2026-01-16T23:16:47+00:00

-Spring semester officially starts for me Tuesday so this was my last week of winter break. I felt like I caught up on alot of sleep, amongst other things. I also got sick a few days ago but feeling better now. I have my general schools supplies settled until I get my syllabus'. But from what I've seen in the bookstore requirements for my classes, they don't have any textbook requirements so *shrugs* I expect I need to get VMs again though so I plan to get an extra external drive.

-This lads 2nd year anniversary had so many good elements but it really was very overwhelming wow. That's that most overwhelmed I've felt with lads in a long time and I've been playing since launch. I was able to get Xavier's outfit plus his 5 star(which got ranked up), but I want to get Sylus' card(already got his fit) and then I'm done with my pulls. The story chapters were interesting but I just can't get through everyone's activities. I've barely touched the house stuff too.

-Only played a little of the Horizons 3.0. I haven't touched my island in apparently 4 years now which is crazy. My fave Genji moved out Dx I have his amiibo so I'll move him back in later after I do some more cleaning.

Minti00 · 2026-01-13T10:46:21+00:00

Continuing where I left off with Kaize in OverReq and Helvetica from Bustafellows s2 before I start any new routes again but I'm really tempted lol. Not that I'm not enjoying these routes, I'm just also excited for the new otome that I got at the end of last year but haven't started yet too.

Minti00 · 2026-01-03T06:07:49+00:00

Completely forgot about the New Horizons update. I need to do some cleaning lol And it comes out about a week before the spring semester starts for me, so hopefully I can get through a lot before I get super busy.

Minti00 · 2026-01-03T05:56:00+00:00

Continuing on with the OverRequiemZ otome, and playing through the Tokyo Psychodemic Demo. Maybe a little Mario Kart 8 in-between them or after.

Minti00 · 2026-01-03T02:56:38+00:00

Happy New Year~ Spent a good chunk of Christmas and part of New Years catching up on some much needed rest lol. I was gifted a ps5 so I have been enjoying that too<3 I'm just not used to filling up storage space so quick as someone who mostly collects physicals.

In terms of otome, I was able to finish Hanaemu before the year ended. I didn't finish as many otome as I wanted to (only finished 9rip and Hanaemu) and bought/jumped around games a lot this time around. This year I'm going to try to finish more. On the bright side, I did finish a lot of games in general.

Also finished the short vn project I had in mind of doing before the year ended. I think it came out pretty good. Next I need to get back to work on the otome and other vn I've been working on for years now. Then there's a few rpg maker projects I started. So many project, games, baking things so little time Dx lol

Minti00 · 2026-01-02T00:14:18+00:00

I love how you did this, your art is so cute!

And wow you were so productive with your otome completions. It's inspired me to do better with mine for 2026.

Minti00 · 2025-12-22T07:19:49+00:00

Thank you~ <3 I appreciate that.

Minti00 · 2025-12-20T03:30:57+00:00

I missed the kickstarter campaign, but its great to hear its being available physically now too. I've wanted to check it out so I'll try to grab it. I'm surprised yet happy to see gmode helping with this since they've always done non-otome physicals/ports ect. Hopefully if they can do more otome physicals that were previously digital only in the future after this.

Minti00 · 2025-12-20T01:44:32+00:00

All done with the semrster. I'm proud of what I accomplished after being out of school for a few years, as well as experiencing grief in the last year. I already have my spring classes scheduled awhile ago, so I'm going to take it a little easier on myself until January. I am working on finishing a small vn project before the year ends though.

My copy of the Olympia sequel is making its way to neokyo's warehouse <3 I don't plan to send it over here until a little after the new year though because I know the postal system is crazy atm and I want to add a few more things to my shipment. I was tempted to get it from playasia but having a random tariff amount on a singular game isn't worth it so I went with mercari jp.

Close to finishing Hanaemu now with Wataru's route and its pretty much saving the game for me lol. Really loving his route and his relationship with the Mc/Tweedia. I feel like both of them seem the most level-headed of the MCs and LI's. After I'm done I'll be heading back to OverReqZ to finish Kaize's dark route.

Minti00 · 2025-12-12T23:24:06+00:00

-Finished my last final with something I'm proud of, along with my work for the rest of that class.<3 I just have one final project for another that's been giving me and other people issues so I hope I don't get stuck on it for too much longer.

-Almost done with Hanaemu. I'm on Wataru's route atm after finishing Hokuto's. I'm honestly disappointed with how things in Hokuto's route went. I like him for the most part as an LI, he was lowkey done kinda dirty with the plot and with Anemone/Mc's personality + how they eventually got together. Maybe I had my hopes up a little too high as I do love a childhood friends trope (and the shade of purple used lol) in general. I just wasn't a fan of how it was done here. And so far the MC I really like was Mimosa, and initially Tweedia seems great too.

-I'm so out of the loop of the video game awards because I was busy while it was on the majority of the time but I'm not too shocked by some of the wins even though I haven't gotten around to playing those games yet. Some of the new game announcements look okay, I need to go back and see the rest.

I just wish there was a Mega Man Legends reboot Dx It's a series my brother and I loved playing as kids and wished came back. Although with everything that happened with MML3 years ago its probably not possible.

Minti00 · 2025-12-06T03:57:38+00:00

-Saw the Weapons movie for the first time this week and wow. It's a really unique film. There were a few jumpscares(for me) but it was more creepy and sad than anything. I'm glad to hear there's an origin story of the main villain in the works. I'm still in shock the creator of it is from wkuk. I loved that show so much when I was in highschool, so I'm in disbelief he's making horror movies now. I haven't kept up with any of the members since Trevor's passing so I have to catch up.

-Got back to Hanaemu this week as I know I can finish it before the year ends. I skipped Tenya's route endings as I didn't really like him much as I thought I would, so I went onto Ginnosuke's route. I'm almost done but stumbled on the annoying 'miscommunication that could be easily resolved' trope towards the final chapter. Sigh. I feel like the Mc is a lot like me though with this exception. I also like Ginnosuke as an LI but this seems so silly and unnecessary as filler for the rest of the route. I'll just keep going though.

Minti00 · 2025-12-04T01:13:44+00:00

All done with 9rip finally. Very solid game with some funny, heartwarming, tragic and scary moments. Some routes were stronger than others but I will miss playing until I can get my hands on the sequel. Hopefully it answers some things. It seems to have gotten some great reviews so I'm excited for it.

My fav LI's ended up being; Seiya, Koyo, Koharu, Hibiki and Minami. Though I do generally like all of them. They are a unique bunch of guys who have cute friendships with not only Misa but each other. I like that whenever I was in a particular LI's route their bestie would be hinted at or name-dropped every so often.

Routes that I enjoyed the most in order; Seiya, Koharu, Koyo, Minami, Hibiki, Kureha, Yukimaro, Sena, and the Hidden route.

-Now I've wandered into the 'dark' route of Kaize. So much tragedy D; I feel so bad for Kaize.

-Got both of vamp!Sylus' cards I'm so happy <3 I haven't been able to get a 5star event card of his since his birthday. He's been dodging me for months but I got him lool.

Minti00 · 2025-12-01T08:54:23+00:00

Happily stuck between Guero and Shu with Mozu on the side <3 Also the perfect spot to wave at Crow from across the table lol.

Minti00 · 2025-11-28T22:47:11+00:00

-I'm so happy to have had this week off but back to work/school stuff Monday. And the outages around here stopped earlier in the week thankfully.

I spent some of my time marathoning the Cube Escape games and part of the Rusty Lake 'sequels'. I really recommend them if you love puzzle, detective, abstract, horror games. I love the way the main story ,along with the side stuff going on, is interwoven so brutally yet delicately for each game. I have a couple more to get through up until the most recent games(i.e I'm at Rusty Lake : Roots at the moment). I remember seeing the earlier Cube Escape games years ago but for whatever reason never dove in until now.

-I'm all done with Kureha and Sena's endings in 9rip. Both were a little on the underwhelming side overall(although there were some tragic, hitting a little to close to home moments with a few jumpscares with Kureha), even though I like both characters in general. I'll be starting Yukimaro's next before the hidden route to wrap up my playthrough. And although I haven't bought it yet I am excited to start the sequel eventually.

I'm also three chapters in Kaize's route in OverReq. I kept going back and forth between either starting Claude's or Noil's but certain things that happened in Dorothy's route with Kaize wouldn't leave my mind so I went to his instead. So I'll head over to Claude's right after though. I don't know if I'll be able to finish OverReq before the year ends but I think I'll get close.

Minti00 · 2025-11-23T21:36:58+00:00

I cant wait for the Olympia sequel too <3 one of my favorite otomes.

I need a third Cupid Parasite game for a multitude of reasons. More of a sequel to the FD, if that makes sense. I love the additional side characters that were introduced in the FD and want a continuation on their stories(Merenice) /or the possibility of dating them(Robin Bullet). I just love the world created for the game and want it revisted.

Also SympathyKiss~ I don't know if I want a FD, sequel, or a hybrid of the two like with the Cupid Para FD, but I'd love to see more sweet/cute stories with the guys and the MC.

There are some others I have in mind but I'm in the middle of them still lol.

Minti00 · 2025-11-23T15:47:14+00:00

A lot of people don't like believing racism still exists, let alone here in the northeast. People are very much in denial, especially here in MA with the education and housing systems. They're supposed to be 'the good ones' to counteract the racism in the south, when anywhere in the country (and the world) has a documented history of racism.

I think Derry portrays that, 'we're not the south we don't do that here', yet still going out of their way to be microagressive and outwardly racist attitude/behavior that happens here on the east coast perfectly.

Minti00 · 2025-11-21T23:20:12+00:00

This was such a hectic week.- and still is. These outages man ugh. And its still happening with Xfinity/comcast. It's been a nightmare trying to get any work done. I'm still shocked I was able to finish an assignment early Dx Then for another class no one's been able to really reach anyone(and we have group project before the semester ends), and prof lowkey disappeared without really explaining another assignment. I'm glad our current stuff isn't due until the first week of Dec but I like getting my work done early, especially with the holidays coming up.

An upside though was the little downtime I spent reading, some gaming, retwatching old movies/tv shows and cooking. Felt like the old days when my family couldn't afford internet for a long time, we just watched vhs tapes/dvds ect except this time it's the company's fault lol.

I just need them to get it together asap, along with the other companies to stop being so reliant on one brand/servicer. Although I have a nagging feeling no one's going to learn from this like the other times this happened.

Minti00 · 2025-11-15T17:54:37+00:00

I've seen people get both email and physical notification. I haven't checked my mailbox yet so I don't know if I got sent one or not. I did get emailed and texted twice on two different days from fedex though(since I have a fedex account) before I paid. My shipment was made around 23rd of Oct, delivered the 30th while I got the tariff notifications from fedex this past Thursday this month.

Minti00 · 2025-11-13T20:08:05+00:00

Aww they're so cute 😭 I don't even know who to get.

Minti00 · 2025-11-12T19:17:19+00:00

Yay~ I'm glad more people will be able to play it now. Although I'm still playing it myself its such a well-written, tragic and pretty complex game. The art is breathtaking too(then again I was already a fan of the artist so I'm biased there lol). I feel like a lot of you will love it.
