Nov 1, 2024 - Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope everyone reading this had a nice time yesterday! Doing whatever you were doing for the holiday. My family went trick or treating, and I’ve been mooching off their candy all day personally. I didn’t have any money for a costume this year… So I didn’t go out or anything like that.

But I did stay home from school and decided to look into virtual machines though. I should’ve done it much sooner. I’m running windows XP because I wanted to play old yuri visual novel games to sorta celebrate. I was browsing the visual novel database when I found this one I really liked. It was just a demo, and after playing it i really wanted to get the full thing but CAN’T. The websites with full versions only accept Japanese paypal. When you put in your phone number it says it invalid, cause it’s not from Japan. It has no videos online for me to watch either cos it’s just this really obscure hentai game (╥_╥) no one invested in the lore like I am. It has no english translation either so I had to manually translate everything LOL. I’ve been trying to dig through the files in order to find the sprites, since of course there are no high quality versions online but I only have the audio files. I’m still devoted despite all this because it’s my first visual novel that I played on xp. Also the protagonist is really cute and I luv her.

Anyways, this is what my VM is looking like right now! I’ve been having a lot of fun just downloading random things and making my desktop look cute after finding out that I couldn’t get the full game. I’ve also been downloading many other demos from that site, since I really love the art style across all the games on this website (^_^♪)

It inspired me so much I decided to try and pick up learning how to draw in that early 2000s moe sorta style again. I should start using Ren’py again too actually. I don’t know why I stopped, because it’s fun. I guess I sorta grew outta writing original stuff, I'm not sure why. But I think making simple visual novels or games would be nice, and give my site more interactivity and stuff to. I mostly just like to write fanfiction and stuff now. But I should get back to making OCs because I remember I really used to like that...

I’m feeling very productive this weekend. And I’m enjoying my stolen Twix bars a lot.
