HELLO THERE, bros. How is everyone doing? All is well I hope? Today is Monday and that means another Monday Post is about to blow you away by it's volume of epicness. Strap in and enjoy the ride ^^

STELLAR BLADE got censored after all. Over the week I saw some people saying this is not a big deal, while others getting completely hysterical and sharing screenshots of canceling their PlayStation PLUS subscriptions. Personally I am glad I sold my PS4 console several years ago. I am literally too old for this shit by now.

TOMB RAIDER. While Stellar Blade was getting censored somebody in charge of TOMB RAIDER decided to (partially) revert it's censorship. Yet again, I could not care less. I would rather play the original (or a pirated, offline PC version) than worry constantly about "my" games being messed with without my knowledge.

THE PS3 ERA was the last time I felt at home with a PlayStation console. After that it was nothing but a hostile environment for the men of culture such as myself. Looks like Stellar Blade has woken up some of the normies to reality, but to those of us who has been paying attention this is nothing new.

HEX GIRLS got updated for the modern audiences. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I was always a big Hex Girls fun. And I mean the band itself, not the Schooby Doo cartoon as a whole. I used to listen to their music on repeat at some point in my life. Good old days of me been a western cartoons weeb. ^^ In case you don't know what I am talking about, here is a sample: https://youtu.be/1P_BlUY2eF4?si=bJFFrExKamv7Xi6f

TO SUM IT UP. Fuck remasters, fuck updates, fuck all the modern bullshit. I will continue to draw on paper, code in the extremely outdated version of Editra and play original versions of old games to the rest of my life!

STELLA GLOW. Speaking of which, I am kind of blown away by how much I continue to enjoy Stella Glow. That game is quickly becoming one of my top favorites along with P4G and P3Portable. Holy shit, even the music in this game rocks. And of course the literal translation is a big plus as well. (This stuff would get "localized" for sure these days).

ON THAT (at least somewhat) positive note let us move on to the only discussion that really matters: the ongoing work on insuring that Queen Trainer will be the best game evar.

THE WORK. First half of the week was spent (yet again) on coding and testing, but closer to the weakened I finally had the chance to draw some stuff. For more info (and spoilers) make sure to check out the EXTRA!! post.

AND THAT IS ALL. I am leaving you with this awesome GIF and will see you all next Monday. Thank you for the support.

HELLO THERE, BROS. I won't even try to come up with anything clever to start of this weeks post. Normally I would, but I feel like no matter what I say it won't make for the fact that I have no exciting spoilers to show of this week. So fuck it.

UPDATES. Looks like that new awesome Tomb Raider remaster got updated for the modern audiences last week. Since I checked out from the modern gaming (remasters included) I didn't buy this remaster, but I know that many people did. I wonder how they feel about this whole thing. I think the majority don't know or care about "little" things like that. For me though, this sort of stuff is a huge problem. Personally I think "updates" like that should be illegal.

THIS IS ALL SO TIRESPOME. There was also an "update" to that PokemonGo mobile game, but don't feel the desire not energy to even talk about it. All I can do is mention it. If you know you know. This is hardly a news at this point, stuff like that was happening for several years now.

FAIRY TAIL. All this talk about censorship reminded me of that one time when I bought that one game that had no censorship in the gameplay trailers, but got "updated" with a day-one patch. This event became one of the factors that made me finally open my eyes and see the reality of the video game industry today, so in a sense something good came out of it (despite the wasted money).

SOME GOOD NEWS. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 looks good. This is one of those games that I doubt I will ever play myself but I am glad it exists. This world could always use more good games. I mean you can't survive on Akabur's games alone, right? XD

HAD A CHAT with a guy on my discord channel who has a game on Steam. According to him the process of putting a game on Steam is not as complicated as I feared. That being said I don't see how I could put any of my existing games on Steam, but this could be something to consider for the future. I don't trust Steam, but at least at the moment their terms of service are way less restrictive than Patreon's are.

STELLA GLOW. Continue to enjoy the game. A little bit annoyed that nobody even recommended it to me before (I had to learn about if from some random Twitter post). Finished Popo's recruitment storyline. Enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to recruiting the rest of the witches.

TRIVIA. Maslab's sprite from Princess Trainer has fun scribbles on it. This part of the sprite is not shown well in Princess Trainer so I think not many people saw these :) I discovered this while making some adjustment's to his sprite for QT. ^_^ I suppose I did see them before but never paid too much attention. Always was too busy, PT development was super rushed.

THE WORK. This week I was hoping to draw some more stuff but instead had to do a lot of coding and testing. Discovered an instance where the same scene was repeated twice only written in different words. I suppose at some point I wrote it, forgot about it and wrote it again. Oh, well. I spent the week working but have nothing to show for it. Well, whatever. It's not like you guys support me for my games, you support me for Monday Posts, right? ^^

THAT IS ALL. Next Monday will be another Monday post. And until then I will continue to work. Thank you for your support. See you next week.

HELLO THERE, dearest bros. Another week just flew by, can you believe it? Welcome to another Monday Post! Let us begin!

PATREON NEWS! A new feature has been unveiled. Now creators can make posts that are only visible to the free members. Supposedly this should incentivize free members to subscribe. It works like this: you see the post -> you like it -> you subscribe -> you don't see it anymore. All I can say is: I sleep better at night knowing that Patreon is managed by smart people full of great ideas. And don't even get me started on the overall layout design of the website, because I fucking love it!

WEB OF SHADOWS. I know some people think I am an idiot for saying that I greatly dislike Persona 5. But it is what it is. A while back going through negative reviews of P5R on Steam (to make sure I am not the only one who didn't enjoy it) I saw a review like this: "I remember liking P4, but after playing the normie sludge that is P5, I don't even remember why anymore". Well, that is how I feel about Web Of Shadows now. Initially I wanted to beat it at least once but few days ago I just gave up. What finally did it for me was the kindergarten level writing. There was this scene where Peter says to Marry Jane "please be carful", to which she reloads her shotgun and says: "I can take care of myself". You are supposed to be able to choose between Black Cat and MJ in this game, but why bother when they have the same lady-boss personality. Only with Black Cat it's actually even worse because she is constantly switching between showing her affection one second and saying she "doesn't need no man" the other. The rest of the characters is just as one dimensional. The Wolverine, Natasha Romanov, Venom - everyone acts like a caricature of their actual character. To sum it up: the game looks pretty (sometimes) but everything else about it is deeply disappointing. I am glad I finally got to play it though, it was on my backlog for a very long time.

STELLA GLOW. To cleanse my palette a bit I decided to play a game that I heard was actually good. To my surprise it turned out to be much more than just good. What shocked me the most was the production value. I wasn't expecting so many voiced dialogs and CGs along with actually animated scenes. The story so far is also quite interesting. Oh, and the art style is simply beyond great. More than that, the translation is very solid as well. From what I have seen so far, everything is translated word-to-word, none of that "localization" nonsense. I will definitely continue to play this game thought this week.

BASEMENT GAMER. Also I have been watching this guy a lot lately. I like the sarcastically-ironic delivery of his monologues, and often find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says. ^^

THE WORK. As for the work, it was another week where I got to draw a lot of things. Drawing is fun. I wish I could do more of that and less of writing and coding, but one does not work without the other, and at the end of the day creating games is what I enjoy the most! Quite a few placeholder drawings got replaced by proper art last week. Things start to look they way they should :)

THAT IS ALL. Make sure to check out this week's EXTRA!! post for more WIPs (and some mild spoilers). And I will see you all next Monday. Later bros!
