Personal Projects from June 2025
The month of June was fruitful in terms of opportunities to learn about electronics. While the projects in this post didn’t take too long individually, I definitely thought about them a lot. I’m going to talk about what I worked … Continue reading

Stellar Blade Beat Me To The Punch
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Stellar Blade as much as I did. Last November, Shaun, a YouTuber who I’ve been following a very long time released a video called: Stellar Blade: The Fake Outrage. I’m re-watching is as I write this post, but it was mainly about how Mark Kern (it’s really hard to describe who he is in one sentence so here’s a video) created a fake bogey-man and owned “wokeness” by praising the developer of Stellar Blade, Shift Up, for giving their main protagonist a lot of sex appeal.
Shaun also provides a review for the game, which I watched before playing the game for myself, regrettably. It shaped a lot of my opinions going into the game which I had to force myself to let go the deeper I got into it.

Dolls Nest & The Automata-Core Genre
There’s this game that I’ve been playing on and off for about a month called Dolls Nest, developed/published by Nitroplus. I’ve seen the people in the Steam reviews call it a hybrid between Dark Souls and Armored Core and I think that’s a pretty fair … Continue reading

VN Character Concept: Azuma Muramasa
Lately, I’ve been thinking about mentor characters, like Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid, for example. I still haven’t sat down to think what the major theme of the visual novel will be, so I decided to work on a concept … Continue reading

Girls’ Frontline 2 “Aphelion” Event Thoughts
I just finished the GFL2 Aphelion event story as of an hour ago. Since I talked about another GFL2 event earlier in the year, I figured I’d do it again. I missed out on the Centauressi event in March (I think), so I have a bit of a gap in the event stories. Aside from that, I’ve been pretty consistent. GFL2 is not my main game so it’s taken me a bit of time to finish. My main game is NIKKE and I can typically get away with doing daillies at work. However, I do a lot of events at home on my PC. As I’ve said many times over the last few posts, March/April has been really busy so I missed out on the last couple of banners. I’ll have to pick up 416/Klukai at another time. I’m glad the events last the entire month, though! Since I’m working on a visual novel, I’m interested in learning what I can about storytelling from games I already like to play.

Nytt rum Nytt du
The month of April has been completely chaotic for me. Little to no progress has been made on the VN and I fear that I haven’t had the chance to draw as much. It’s mostly because of work. I’m still … Continue reading
