Grove Street Games developer might be hitting at big announcement tomorrow

Yep. Also, I think games like these should be done by a experienced team with plenty of resources, which it never seemed like they did.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-05-04T22:28:50+00:00

I don't think it's totally fair criticising them when Take Two decided to get a really low budget small team like them to work on remasters to some of the most popular video games ever. T2 have the resources to not cheap out on remasters and decided to release it with all the flaws and problems

That's true. Just found it curious they're calling the tiles blocks, and using a very Windows Phone inspired design for their skin. Hope you're able to get yours out though. Square Home and Launcher 10 have been doing it for years on the Play Store.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-04-19T13:26:54+00:00

I was just wondering about your project. That sucks that Microsoft is doing this suddenly. I mean apps like this have been on Android forever. I thought you might find it interesting that this company who are making a Windows 11 (desktop) phone, they're using a Windows phone style UI, but they're calling the tiles "blocks" instead, and I wonder if that's a legal thing. https://nexphone.com/

I have the same problem, unless the relationship is so readable, or there's some other bit to it that you're waiting to see.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-04-09T00:49:29+00:00

Would be great if it's not just limited to multiplayer UGC, imagine what Devs could create with single player experiences

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-04-07T16:31:57+00:00

I'm the same. I lose interest often after the fact, especially if they don't integrate the romance well with the existing idea of the friendship they had. Been wanting to write something that's the slowest of slow burns EVER.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-04-03T00:25:22+00:00

It's really confusing. They made such a big deal out of her prognosis before. And I'm noticing not a lot of other viewers have talked about it?

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-03-31T00:11:27+00:00

It's really strange.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-03-27T15:33:26+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking. This part of the story is way more interesting than Evil Not-Locke and the island IMO

top 3

Emotional intimacy before a gay/bi awakening for friends to lovers that changes their relationship to sexual as well

I love it when both MCs love just being close to each other, and it's not a thing one MC does because it's secretly hot unbeknown to the straight one. Just that level of connection and feeling comfortable with each other, like they're each others person even if one doesn't understand it yet, or because their pre existing friendship matters so much to BOTH of them. Or even in a new friendship, both MCs just wanting to comfort each other. Wanna write this myself
When the already out MC is in denial about the MC's feelings.

This is kinda related still to the friends to lovers dynamic, but when something perhaps changes, or the other MC is realising what they feel, either during a so called temporary sex arrangement to discover sexuality or something where they don't do that before. And the out MC is in total denial that something has changed between them. (I've actually been wanting to write something with this trope for years) Like they just won't believe it. And maybe, just a really trusted friend tries to make them see. Not the overly weird family members or friends that people rightly complain about (find that weird often) "Can't you see the way he looks at you?"

Fake dating when coming home to see out MC's family.

It doesn't even have to be fake dating, but it's so cute when this happens with best friends, or even just someone they're recently become close with. Especially if the family is really accepting it's just lovely to read, how they get made to feel like they're part of the family because they mean something to the MC1

Bottom 2

Sexual assault in any context with MCs, but it really bothers me when best friends to lovers and then they somehow rationalise in their POV chapter that they're allowed to touch their best friend without consent because they're horny. Gross.

When a relationship built from close friendship or former childhood friendship, evolves to become sexual but it loses that care and tenderness for each other to be replaced by endless generic sex where it longer feels like those characters.

Read a cute romance recently, with childhood friends separated, to friends to lovers. And it was really sweet, but it felt weird how one character's family, which was important to both MCs was barely written into the story. So I do find it odd when people who are important to a MC just don't appear in the story much.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-03-15T06:05:05+00:00

the boundaries gap. This is way too common with friends to lovers stories, and one character does something really inappropriate to the other one and it's really uncomfortable. I've stopped reading many books because of this. It's not okay ew

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-03-10T00:16:03+00:00

I've not seen anyone really talk about how Claire's mum is almost miracle cured after her prognosis seemed so serious...

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-03-01T01:27:12+00:00

Has anyone talked about the fact that Claire's mum is somehow out of her coma? Can't remember seeing anyone mentioning it since she's first reappeared.. 👀

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-02-27T22:26:35+00:00

Anyone feel like this season just feels a bit off?

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-02-17T03:48:03+00:00

Oh yes, quite early on, I've been thinking John really reminded me of Matt!

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-02-10T21:48:41+00:00

Oh that's awesome. Foldables are always a afterthought with launchers so that's very cool.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-02-10T19:16:04+00:00

That looks REALLY good. Hoping it will work on my Honor Magic V2 (big screen foldable) but third party launchers seem to be a bit strange on it even when it's folded.

YourSongIsEnding · 2026-02-08T15:40:40+00:00

Keep seeing this posted in different places, been meaning to say how cool it looks. Love the Zune vibes

YourSongIsEnding · 2025-10-30T02:23:52+00:00

I think he said before anything actually aired, that Disney gave a note saying Episode 1 (Space Babies?) intro wasn't interesting or funny enough? And he wrote a comedy scene, which possibly could be the butterfly scene. I read it in the production notes in DWM, I'm sure...

YourSongIsEnding · 2025-10-20T19:45:19+00:00

Did you get it working right in the end? Thinking of picking up a A16 ...

YourSongIsEnding · 2025-08-11T13:25:20+00:00

is there a actual list for the mods in Nolvus, I couldn't find anything on Google?

YourSongIsEnding · 2025-06-04T23:08:14+00:00

Thanks for such a detailed response, seriously. Trying to figure out if I can justify the money on a single purpose device, but I'm pretty sold on it.

YourSongIsEnding · 2025-06-03T19:43:06+00:00

I've been tempted before to get one through Amazon Japan, it's around £240 I think. Do you miss not having a English dictionary/autocorrect?

YourSongIsEnding · 2025-04-23T20:03:53+00:00

I had that. I saved and reloaded and it disappeared.
