feel like the fate of the CAG genre is resting entirely in the hands of CLOVERS now and it will come down entirely to who kamiya took with him when he made the studio

it's very interesting to see powerwash simulator referred to as relaxing, when i look at gameplay and see how narrow the spread on your powerwasher is and how it leaves all these tiny dirt particles you have to painstakingly clean up, i actually get MORE stressed

sorry for the wait.
as frustrated as i've been with the editing process on this one, it speaks volumes that rewatching some of these scenes and listening to the music again effortlessly stirred up those same powerful emotions i felt while playing boku no natsuyasumi 2.
please enjoy.

i'm not saying this is always the correct reflex but whenever i see people rant about content in games ("should have had more weapons, enemies, visual variety, etc.") my neurons instantly shut off
feels like a shortcut in lieu of real analysis

in the final stretch of editing our boku beach & i know i'm not supposed to think this but i can't help but compare it to the other story-driven game i played recently (silent hill f) & be startled at the astronomical gulf in quality. the difference between actual storytelling & freaking VN writing

Ninja Gaiden 4 was one of my most anticipated games of the year and I'm not playing it in accordance with the BDS Microsoft boycott, and it turns out that actually nothing bad happens to you if you don't play a video game.

as happy as i am to stick to my guns and signal-boost BDS, it’s starting to genuinely depress me that there’s a new platinum game out and i’m not playing or talking about it
the silver lining here being that it’s nice to know i still have it in me to genuinely yearn for those types of experiences

very, very charitably, i will assume that the people who refused to cover it because of BDS are difficult to count because you can't easily draw conclusions from lack of evidence and those who actually wrote a review don't want a lightning rod for life-altering harassment, but this is disappointing
