On my birthday I kept wanting to laugh out loud. Felt so good I figured I should buy myself a present.
Checked on the Nendoroid of Kazami Yuji from Grisaia no Kajitsu that I’d been eyeing for ages, and it had sunk all the way to clearance-bin pricing… so I brought her home.
I bought Sennheiser IE80 a bit over a year ago. After a year of listening it finally died… pretty sure one of the right-ear drivers is gone.
Good thing I bought the China official version back then… plugged it in, seems the warranty is longer than a year, should be two years, so I went straight to the warranty claim.
The number on the official site goes to a Shenzhen office or wherever… after getting through, the guy on the other end, thick southern accent and all, told me to write a note myself, describing the problem with the earphones clearly, plus my address, and make sure to include the following:
C.H.I.P. was a crowdfunding project — basically a $9 dev board, or something like that.
PocketC.H.I.P. is an expansion of that crowdfunding project. I backed it and bought one just to mess around with as a toy…
After you install the official Chrome for Ubuntu package, it drops an official repo into your sources.
First off, hitting that address directly is a lost cause…
But add https and it’s a different story.
Even then you still get a warning, if you’re on 64-bit.
Lately I’ve been really into pure-love confession games. Probably because pure me is just too pure.
Watashi ga Suki nara “Suki” tte Itte! (私が好きなら「好き」って言って!) is exactly that kind of confession-raising game. To borrow the words of the well-known bishoujo game voice actress Kyoka, this one’s a “恋愛シュミレーションゲーム” — a love simulation game, basically. I’ve played a few of those before. The deal is that it isn’t structured like a novel; the heroines’ affection shifts dynamically based on what the protagonist does, and at the end whether you end up dating depends on how much affection she has for you…
That’s the formula from Purely X Cation, Pure X Connect, and the older Fureraba. No real story, just pure romance — and school life, of course.
But If You Like Me, Say “I Like You” has a couple of things that set it apart: the story and the system.
Rhythmbox 3.4 is out, and you should upgrade.
Plenty of reasons, but one matters more than the rest: it fixes the memory leak…
Before, listening for too long would blow up memory usage. Not anymore — at least I haven’t hit it since upgrading.

Tearjerker stories, everyone thinks they’re so moving. So the moment you say tearjerker, naturally someone’s gotta die.
There are a thousand ways to kill someone off, but the handiest is terminal illness. Blaming it on terminal illness is super convenient—everyone can just curse how unfair the heavens are.
So of course visual novels use terminal illness too. One fairly well-known one was Dekinai Watashi ga, Kurikaesu..
What did I think of that game… one word: trash.
So the same staff went and made a new one, still about terminal illness: Inochi no Spare I was born for you.
What did I think of this one… still trash.
Actually, it’s even worse than the last one…
HanaHime * Absolute! was announced back in 2014, then delayed, delayed, and delayed until now.
Nobody’s heard of the developer Mira, but if you look at the intro and OP, you’ll get a strong sense of déjà vu. Where have I seen this before? That’s right—Twinkle Crusaders (ティンクル☆くるせいだ).
Same artist, same system, same coloring style, same OP animation director, same OP music… basically this is the spiritual successor to Twinkle Crusaders (I’m using “spiritual successor” correctly, right?).
And since it’s a spiritual successor, you know Twinkle Crusaders was a game built around its combat system, so HanaHime * Absolute! is also combat-focused.
As for the story? Who the hell cares…
I’m tired of saying whether LASS should just die already…
I’m a bit conflicted. On one hand I want it to croak pronto, on the other I still think it should at least finish Liber 7 before kicking the bucket.
Anyway, for now it’s better if it doesn’t die.
So this “won’t-die-when-you-want-it-to” LASS has a new game out, and it’s a sequel to that old nukige series.
