Digest Vol. 27 – Quiet Week

No header image this week because I cbf figuring out what to use. Should just start collecting them when they’re released and queue to use them one by one.

Still going through Yomeyaba. Finished all main routes and Kirino’s route. Now heading through two sub routes and then finally harem route. Sad but the two main heroines are actually on lower list than the sub heroines for me. Kirino’s route was quite good. Nanaka’s is still the best.

At this rate I should finish the whole thing soon-ish and then continue to Koikake. And then Delivara… or maybe Quintuple Splash first.

On unrelated news, I blew up my budget. And thus thinking of cancelling getting Maitetsu. I’ll probably regret it but at least that will save me quite a lot and buy me a month time since there’s nothing else for March for me. I need it because I won’t be able to play eroges for about a month due to various reasons. I’ll also drop some other plans as well mainly so I can start actually catching up. I’ve backlogged pretty badly. I mean, I’ve been backlogged for a long time but I just couldn’t catch up at all this last few months. Playing a bit too much other game didn’t help either and upcoming winter event will slow things down even more for the last week of this year. Next week is pretty much calm before storm… and I still hate events. Mainly the early wake up, and even more in winter which is not only tiring but also stupid cold.

Quite a few new release announcements next week.

Winter Events Notes

It's freezing time! (No, it doesn't usually snow until January or February). Doesn't change it's still damn cold, especially when queuing outside for hours.

I figured might as well create a dedicated post for this. Sorted by time added.

Company Booths

  • Sprite. Comiket. Finally a Rika hug pillow cover. And then even more tapestries. At this point I gave up getting them all. Probably one or two (or three) tapestries and then drama CDs.
  • Circus. Comiket. Nothing particularly interesting.
  • Pikatto Anime. Both Denkigai and Comiket. The availability of new tapestries at the events is a bit of mystery and since it only incurs 432 JPY extra I figured might as well pre-order it. There’s Hanasaki Workspring stuff as well but no pre-order until post-events.
  • Saga Planets. Denkigai and Comiket (partial). Inori tapestry! And more Inori tapestries! Also at Comiket for some of the stuff.
  • Dengeki Moeoh. Comiket. Chikotam <3
  • Kadokawa. Comiket. More stuff are still being announced. Also, Chikotam <3 (the actual booth for above).
  • minori. Both Denkigai and Comiket. I like character designs for the next game so I’ll probably buy both. There’s calendar as well which I’ll probably buy unless someone else announces something more interesting.
  • Curtain Curtain Damashii. Comiket. Karory tapestries are a bit interesting but fortunately(?) they’re not double suede, she isn’t high enough on my list, and the illustrations aren’t high enough to warrant a purchase. Pan, on the other hand… Still thinking if I should pre-order or just buy at Comiket. The former costs 1130 JPY more (postage and tax) and missing bonus mini shikishi. If last event’s Cran Crown is any reference, it should be okay. Who am I kidding. Getting them now.
  • NanaWind. Denkigai. Interesting one is Inori hug pillow cover even though she doesn’t get any h-scenes (yet?).
  • August. Comiket. The crystal calendar is quite interesting.
  • Whirlpool. Denkigai. That blanket’s illustration is quite good and the size is big-ish. Unfortunately it costs big-ish as well.
  • Broccoli (and all ages Toypla). Comiket and later online. That Nene tapestry/blanket.
  • Amuse Craft (Hearts, Us:track). Denkigai. The Koikake set actually are filled with stuff I can use. Kokoro Log on other hand, may or may not happen. Not going to be tricked again into doing online early pre-order. This is the part everyone learns same thing and results in failing at Denkigai, right?
  • Electro.muster. Comiket. Double suede Karory \o/
  • Melonbooks. Comiket. Nothing particularly interesting apart of free new year postcard…
  • Melonbooks. Stores. …which can be used to buy Pan tapestry at their stores.
  • ALcot. Denkigai. ANRI HUG PILLOW COVER WHERE. Nothing intersting btw.
  • Hiquo Soft. Denkigai and online. They’re also distributing illustration card for people who pre-ordered Omokage Rail Back.
  • Lose. Denkigai. Mmm that tapestry.
  • Lashinbang. Comiket. Tapestries just like last time. Probably skipping this time though.
  • minori (and R-18 Toypla). Comiket. Even more Inori and Kuon tapestries. Probably skipping as well~
  • Makura. Denkigai. Crapload of hug pillow covers.
  • GLace/Galette. Denkigai. Usual stuff. Also the tapestries from Amatoro release event.
  • GLace/Galette. Online store. Now with even more hug pillow covers.
  • feng. Denkigai and online store. Hug pillow covers! Comes with CD! Tempting but gotta fend off this one.
  • Hulotte. Online store. Two hug pillow covers right off the bat! And finally a Serika tapestry. No indication if it’ll be joint with Cuffs again this time. Nope, different postage etc. Also Nanaka’s Mug is cute (skipping it though)
  • Cuffs/Cube/etc. Online store. Usual stuff. Most of the illustrations are up.
  • Palette. Online store. For once no one’s going to cry. Well, much better than what they usually do. Unfortunately nothing interests me. Or fortunately since more stuff to buy is the last thing I need.
  • Parasol. Online store. [overly excited]

Digest Vol. 25 – Chikotam \o/

Natsu-iro Kokoro Log - Cutes everywhere

Natsu-iro Kokoro Log – Cutes everywhere

Two weekends, two Yomeyaba routes (Kanna and Serika). Three main routes, one harem route, and two mini-routes left, I think. Story is okay-ish with Nanaka-senpai being the best and unfortunately I still don’t quite like one-eye-covered style of Serika.

The soundtrack reminds me of Your Diary. Well, same composer after all.

At this rate I’ll need at least another week or two to finish the rest which hopefully enough for next eroge release day (December 18th). Ideally I should finish this by next weekend and finish Koikake afterwards.

…which then will be followed by JK Trouble Main”s or just try finishing up Delivara since I’m not sure one week is enough to finish the former and I kinda want to prioritize Quintuple Splash.

Denkigai official items pre-order has been started! My current list:

Digest Vol. 21 – Stuff

bttf20151021poster

Back to the… Tamasato?

Still going through with Koikake. Finished Sena and Ayane’s route. Currently at Rinka. Should be done within this week and then continue to, I don’t know, probably Sakura no Uta. But it seems to be pretty long and I’m running out of hug pillow cover which game I played. So it’s either that or another game of which I have pillow cover.

Ended up spending most of my random crap budget this first week of the month. Doesn’t help I ended up needing to upgrade my graphics card from Radeon 5450 to something less crap. Still crap though.

I also pre-ordered all February stuff and getting second copy of Yomeyaba. Later this month I’ll also pre-order minori’s Tsuminohi and Date a Live Movie BD. Welp.

Digest Vol. 20 – All the Games

Maitetsu. Trains and lolis. What can go wrong?

Maitetsu. Trains and lolis. What can go wrong?

…I forgot to publish this last night.

I managed to finish Chrono Clock this Friday. It’s overall pretty good though probably can use more Kuro hscenes.

That said, I noticed I’ve been playing too much eroge with fantasy elements lately. From Alia’s Carnival and its fandisc, Mousou Complete!, and then Chrono Clock. The only short pause was playing Imouto no Seiiki which took few days.

So I decided to take another break by playing Koi-Kakeru Shin-Ai Kanojo. So far seems to be a fairly simple business.

Still on Koikake, I didn’t plan for any additional bonus besides the one that comes with the game itself. I’m doing a light watch on YJA though – for any chance of cheaper bonuses. So far I got none :D I ended up getting everything as originally (not) planned. Costed slightly more than I expected.

Glace’s Amatoro, on other hand, still trying to get Medio CD bonus. The outlook seems to be pretty expensive at 3000 JPY range. Getchu CD is on the way.

As mentioned from previous post, I’ll probably drop Ensemble’s Koikata after all considering all my backlogs and illustrator. Hulotte’s Yomeyaba is still on course and barring any sudden insanity, I’ll just get my currently preordered one (Trader) and Getchu and maybe official store if it’s interesting enough. It’s Hulotte so I’m expecting at least two more double suede tapestries in following quarters.

For December, I’m getting Parasol’s Quintuple Splash from official store as originally planned and perhaps the drama CDs. No plan for Sorakoi besides Trader.

Still waiting on more details on Omokage Rail Back bonuses though at this point I suspect I’ll just go ahead with Goodwill and YJA the rest of stuff. Or maybe not. It’ll be one devastating month if I try getting everything. I’m aiming Nekoto and Moeri for Mamiya-kun related bonuses – I’m counting four stores and for some reason are all tapestries.

Digest Vol. 19 – Money (and time) be where

bnr_worldelection01

World Election. Or in katakana, Wa-rudo erekushon.

Finished three routes of Chrono Clock (Makoto, Michiru, and Misaki) including the hscenes. Failing at concentrating this week and wasted by spending too much time on rearranging and cleaning room.

Plan for November is at least Hulotte’s Yomeyaba. I’m still not sure if I should go ahead with Koikata but considering what I have this month (three), my backlogs (craploads), and my current spending rate, I probably have to skip it. Doesn’t help that the illustrator, Kimishima Ao, is also doing Koikake, making it kind of redundant and she/he isn’t even on my watch list.

December release is also looking pretty confusing with at least Chelsea Soft’s Sorakoi and Parasol’s Quintuple Splash. Originally also planned for Onii-chan Teacher but considering I don’t even really half of the character and considering my backlog (as usual), I’ll probably ended up skipping it. But then there’s Ammolite’s new game, Onii-chan, oshiete… which looks kind of interesting. At least that one is single route and costs like 3000 jpy. So I may do end up getting it. There’s also Clearrave Nyan Nyan’s JK Trouble and Mains which is drawn by K-Ko (the same one doing Onii-chan Teacher) and animated and stuff. I don’t know :D

January looks pretty safe so far with just Giga/kinokonomi release. May or may not getting it. Currently at 70% no mainly because of February releases and just plain saving.

February! Whirlpool’s World Election and Haikuo’s Omokage Rail Back are on 99% though I’m still considering if I’ll get the whole thing™ (read: all relevant store bonuses). It doesn’t help I’m getting the expensive version of Omokage Rail Back with hug pillow cover and stuff. And talking about February, I still haven’t started on this year’s February :(

Digest Vol. 18 – Fool

Sakura no uta - She's probably the only character I like design-wise.

Sakura no uta – She’s probably the only character I like design-wise.

Ended up getting three new games this month instead of one. Also I think I’ll end up playing the Himawari one as well one day™.

Finished Alia’s Carnival! Flowering Sky. The extra routes are unexpectedly long. Pretty good though and gives some additional answers to Asuha’s extra route. Quite over the top though and I think some of the details went through my head. The other extra route has h-cg of Inori and sadly gave false hope :( Waiting for the appends they’ll be releasing later.

Started Chrono Clock and it’s pretty good so far. Finished Makoto’s route. Felt a bit short. Not checked the h-scenes yet though. Currently at Michiru’s.

Still hoping to finish this before Friday (90% chance of not happening).

Links and photos after the break as usual.

Update: added link to Inugami Kira’s new tapestry.

Digest Vol. 16 – Autumn

JK Trouble & Main'sOriginally planned to go to Sunshine Creation but due to Suruga-Ya thinks it’s funny restocking one of tapestry I’ve been looking for with sufficiently high price, I canceled the plan. And played eroge instead (nothing new).

Still going with Flowering Sky, finished Asuha and Shiina. Now going through Karin (halfway-ish, I guess?). And then Tsukuyomi and Shiho. And then check out the rest of additional stories. Hopefully will be done before end of next week and then followed by Chrono Clock.

On unrelated note, I’ve published list of my stuff (currently tapestries, hug pillow covers, and eroges). Check them here. I’m still completing up the data though.

Not much news this week. Links and photos after the break as usual.

Digest Vol. 15 – Holiday is over.

sorakoi-720x320-1I forgot to mention in last post but it was Silver Week this week with holidays from Monday to Wednesday, allowing me to immerse myself in eroge. And finished Mousou Complete! Woo \o/

With this, I’m only two games away from February releases.

Onward to Flowering Sky. …finished Yumi’s route already. Now going through Asuha’s route. At this rate I might really be able to start February games in October? We’ll see.

Digest Vol. 6

For once I start with blank post instead of copying off old one. Not like there’s much to copy anyway. Returned from trip and arrived with loads of stuff I ordered arrived. More next week as I sent some to office instead. Or more like I accidentally sent some to home and used up some delivery boxes for days. That what I thought. Turned out the flight was delayed for an hour and thus I missed the last train. Since I’m waiting for 4 hours for the first train, might as well finish this post without photo of new stuffs and post them at next digest.

Recent stuffs

One of recently bought tapestries. And some more in collections page as usual.

One of recently bought tapestries. And some more in collections page as usual.

Due to various reasons I didn’t buy anything for this month. Not like there’s shortage of games to play anyway!

Finished Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura doki and now going through Shirogane x Spirits!. 2 out of 4 routes are done. Current route should be done by this week and the last one should be done by as late as end of next week. The next game would be… I don’t know yet. High on list are Natsu no Iro no Nostalgia, Amakoi Syrups, Kujiragami no Tearstilla, and Hanasaki Workspring!.

They didn't even pretend anything at all. Just outright criminal route.

They didn’t even pretend anything at all. Just outright criminal route.

Haven’t played KanColle seriously for last few months and probably never will anymore. On other hand, started playing Wonder4World more recently. Apparently it’s similar to Pazudora but with girls instead? Judging from the screenshots, at least, since I never played Pazudora.

Also slowly going back to anime. Finally finished few series from last year and started obligatory OreGairu and F/SN UBW. Probably will add DanMachi and some other series as well, including past seasons. Backlogs everywhere.

Or illustrators side, Chikotam is still on top of my list, followed by Yukie. I’m still annoyed how Izumi Tsubasu (the team) handles the events. I was terrible on Comiket Special 6. Thankfully I decided to look from side and have fun pitying poor folks (actual fans and whatnot) trying to cope with them. Pan is, as expected, really good. She’s currently sufficiently high on my list. Suimya still need more work though. Though probably will never perfectly match with my preference seeing the current tendency. Oh well.

Finally obtained from K-Books after failing to get it during my first Comiket (C84).

Lastly, Golden week is coming! Lots of events! Wallet damage! … ._.

Quick note on Collections page

I forgot to post about this but since the number of tapestries I have has exploded, it’s unwieldy as simple WordPress post. In meantime, I’ll just keep the photos updated in my public dropbox nextcloud directory. I have private collections list but it’s not organized either so there are quite a lot of backlogs for me on that side as well.

I really shouldn't have done this

Just for reference, the current count is at 128 tapestries not including pre-orders.

Update 2020-04-06: Updated link.

Hello world!

Yet another blog™. Previous/main blog has been known by too many people. Hopefully I’ll post more here.

This one will contain whatever I feel like to. With less restriction.
