Eroge playthrough

Finished Maina route as expected. Feels a bit slow (just like all other routes) and the core problem is a bit dumb. The different way they solved each route’s problem is quite interesting though. Also I like Aoba’s route most even though I like her least.

Onward to Meguri route and then the fandisk Ichayaba once I finish this. I hope I can finish everything by end of next week or earlier.

Current plan after this is Sakura no Mori Dreamers. Time for some actual, serious* story.

Wasting money

At over 500 tapestries and 100 hug pillow covers I figured it’s time to really stop this. I’m not stopping buying them but more of keeping the number constant instead of growing indefinitely. That involves selling tapestries I like less before hitting the limit.

For tapestries, I originally planned for 200 tapestries limit. And then I tried filtering them… and failed miserably. I’m not quite ready for this so I increased it to 300. I managed to filter it enough but then I added another rule. 300 is soft limit which means I should try keeping the number at that or less but I’m allowing some extra time (currently indefinite) up to hard limit of 360 (+20% of soft limit).

Similarly for hug pillow cover, I’m setting it at 50, up to 60. I’m already past the soft limit though, lol. I have some candidates for selling but I’m holding it until I hit the hard limit which will approximately happen in April.

That said, selling over 100 tapestries isn’t an easy task unless I just ship them to Suruga-Ya. I like having my “investment” back so I’m selling them slowly through YJA instead.

Talking about YJA, current week’s batch isn’t over yet so there isn’t much to report. It’s looking okay though at the moment with three items already bid. No one bid the older items though ;_; I wonder if it’s time to Suruga-Ya them instead.

Oh, and on actual wasting money, I finally bought voice drama I’ve wanted and Sankaku Renai’s Shiina hug pillow cover as planned. Maitetsu’s Fukami cover is currently on hold. Also finally pre-ordered some games from Getchu. Unfortunately made a bad decision of getting Nanao Naru tapestries. That costed quite a lot. No photos because too lazy.

• Mandarake Tapestorante. What is this I don’t even.
• Kokoiro valentine event. Yay. Not going though because too much effort.
• Hug pillow cover of Sahori from Quintuple Splash. Maybe will get Tomoe and/or Ami.
• Eshi 100 early tickets now come with mini shikishi exchange ticket as well. I guess I’ll buy it this time after three years of on the spot ticket purchase. I did buy the early ticket first year I live here (Eshi 100 03) and then figured it’s kind of pointless. I guess they learned that as well and decided to add bonus this time.
• Hug pillow cover illustrated by Nimura Yuuji. The tweet says it’s new but I’m pretty sure it’s quite old and just a re-release.
• More hug pillow cover from Maitetsu. Of course here will be more.

New stuff

Lovely Day Medio bonus tapestry. There’s one big problem with CG art with this series. Mainly the eyes part, especially for Yuka.

Thankfully it’s less prominent in Alice. This one is from Trader.

This one isn’t actually too bad. From Sofmap.

This one is quite bad. From Goodwill.

This is the first image which I noticed the problem. It was tweeted in high resolution so it immediately noticeable. From official store.

So, yeah, I’m actually selling her tapestries back. I’m keeping Alice though.

And unfortunately it looks like the problem will continue to their next game. Just compare the finished image to original artists’ rough drawings. Eyes design is one of most important thing for me so the change is regrettable for me. It was fine up to Quintuple Splash. I wonder if their original CG artist quit and then replaced with someone else.

Oh and the voice drama. Usual stuff.

I have quite a lot of extra Getchu points so I figured might as well find out what this square tapestry thing is. Well, it’s pretty much as one can imagine. Would be much better if using double suede instead of just suede. And if only it’s B2 instead of small 40cm x 40cm. Oh well.

Pan no Mimi tapestry from CT29. Gotten off YJA, cheaper than flying to Osaka.

I didn’t find any interesting iPhone 5 case at all so I just made one. The quality isn’t too bad but the base case color is a bit too red and the white part isn’t printed at all making it glossier than I’d like to. The upper area is perfectly fine though.

More doujinshi from Singleton. Released at CT29.

For the Melonbooks bonus clear poster. The series name is actually “Kageppuchi Kara Hajimeru Sekai Jumyou no Nobashi Kata” (step 2). It’s that small text with black background. Either way both title and subtitle is stupid long, lol.

Will probably buy Kindle version as well once I finish another books.

The clear poster. Infinitely better than poster/bath poster. Mainly because I don’t need to be extra careful handling it.

…just because.

Getchu bonus clear file.

Melonbooks monthly tapestry, from Yukie. It’s the character from her original imouto book.

Lastly hug pillow cover of Riku from Floflo. Need to play this soon-ish.
