https://store.steampowered.com/app/1584090/Touhou_Mystias_Izakaya/ So this game technically came out three years ago, but it's been getting content updates throughout. With the Switch release out and the English translation (Including the retranslation!) for the final DLC finished, the game is...

Monsters, the very idea of them scares us as children. As we grow older some of us seek out stories of them now thrilled by the fear we had before. Others of us hideaway, I was a mix of both. Horror movies quickly bored me so I went for the stories rather than nonsense that I could look at and...

"Fucking government rush jobs and their lazy motherfuckers." I say to the empty room. Not that I don't understand or even think the people who put the buildings together were lazy. Just rushing to meet a time frame, probably so someone could get bonus pay of some kind. I don't like having to fix...

Chapter 1: Light Conversations And Compliments Before Dinner Eevee's POV "Dinner's ready!" Tadashi said. I instantly close my book and head there, my tail and ears fluttering with excitement. The curries prepared by Mother were always so good! With Tadashi helping, it should be even better...

"-It's like the Pride never heard of the Dewey Decimal System." Chase said idly, leaning against an open bulk box. Stacks of pristine shelves towered above him, reaching up into darkness. "Which is weird, considering two-thirds of them were evil nerds." Old Lace huffed. "Ah, what do you know?"...

None Deserve to Starve In a world as advanced as that of Cyberpunk, who knew that starvation was still a thing. That it even could be a thing, That was the reality that he woke up to as he curled up in his own little corner of Night City. There, under the harsh neon lights of tall futuristic...

August, 2020. In a world not quite like ours, where there was never a COVID pandemic, Korean pop music, or K-pop, has reached incredible new heights. BTS has just completed the US leg of their sold-out Map of the Soul tour, selling the most tickets for any artist this year, and their latest...

Winter decamps the land of Eldthorn like a traveling jeweler closing up at the end of a fair. All of the shiny baubles and trinkets that glittered so prettily in the wan sunlight are packed away with assurances that next year's will be totally different and just as beautiful. From the southern...

Quill's Pancakes It was a late morning. The early dew and coldness of the previous night was evaporating, as the sun was nearing its peak. At the top of a small, rocky hill near a marsh, was a desolated church. its foundation was ruined but still stood. Nature had retaken it as vines, moss and...

In a time long ago, when I was three, I met a girl who took to me. Her hair was dark; her eyes were bright, We sat and played until the night. That evening in bed, when sweet dreams came, Quite glad I was to know her name! Taylor and I would surely be The best of friends the world would...

It had been pure happenstance for him to end up listening to another performance. He’d already been scolded by a few of his bandmates for spending money on concerts, rather than focusing on negotiating a better outcome for their little agreement with RomSoft. But, family matters took...

"Last stop, Gensokyo. Last stop, Gensokyo." Rei shifts groggily as the announcement filters through her muddled thoughts and turns to look out the window. She watches as the train circles a small bay ringed by a seawall and a handful of stone piers and then turns toward a prosaic downtown...

Cracks of gunfire filled the air, accompanied by inhuman screeches and howls. Occasionally, they would be joined by the sounds of fluid flying through the air, bodies hitting the ground, and pained shrieks, cries, and wheezes. Rarely, the sound of flesh being obliterated would be among the...

Beta-read by my friend, who didn't know both English ("do I know Engli— fuck off.") and Worm ("those leaf-eating larvas? what's up with that?") —o0o— Rebecca leaned back in the chair, a very expensive chair at that, and let out a breath of relief. It's 1:48 am, and she has just finished...

[Character creation lasts a couple posts and has a different tone. If you just randomly came across this thread, here is a decent intro.] Hello there! Welcome to the world of the Pokemon League! I'm Rotom-HR, but people call me the Electronic Form Manager. Under the Indigo System, a Gym Leader...

Cli-clack, cli-clack, cli-clack You frown as you slump forwards in the train seat. Even while wearing your headphones, you can still hear the wheels of the train rumbling over the nearly abandoned tracks deep in the middle of the almost forgotten countryside. The clicking of the wheels weighs...

Am I hallucinating? Maybe I am still dreaming? In front of me is another me, wearing the same pajama as I am. We stare at each other, but unlike her whose face is neutral, I think mine is changing. I did the only thing I think is appropriate in this situation. I screamed! My name is...

0600 The trick to a good tamagoyaki, Shinji noted, was to keep the pan well-oiled and the layers as thin as possible. With a flick of his chopsticks, the schoolboy deftly rolled the egg slab over, gently pressing here and there as the omelette took shape. The tender underside crackled and...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be transported to another world and see the places that you once thought were nothing but fantasy? Now imagine that you weren't alone perhaps a town full of people, an entire country, or even a city. Let me tell you it's not a good thing. I...

Kuroko's eyes zoom at the corridor's walls, which are heavily decorated with ribbons and ruffles. She listened halfheartedly to the person who spoke on the podium. Kuroko was sure it was the same speech rehash every year for everyone that graduated trainer schools, even if it was the same...

She doesn't really remember why she left. That's the thing-- you'd think she'd remember. That there would have been one terrible moment where she thought, I have to get out of here. It's too awful to live here, I have to leave. But the very nature of her dad meant that of course there wasn't...

https://youtu.be/a1zmhHLVrq0?si=uDTc7CTMGfFpTp3K It's nice to see a Pokémon content that doesn't involve battles. Seeing Pokémons in a more peaceful environment is honestly much more enjoyable. I think it's time that we need more slice-of-life Pokémon adaptations.
