Est @e5st.bsky.social · 21/01/2026There is a fairly large section with a low amount of story near the end of the game, but interacting/staying there is entirely optional for getting extra stuff mentioned in-lore. I think that's where the complaint comes from, though I disagree with it anyway; I like FFV's story quite a bit. 010 0
Est @e5st.bsky.social · 06/12/20259-nine is kinda rocky, some of the chapters are pretty mediocre others can feel very good. Haven't read the other one. 010 0
Est @e5st.bsky.social · 28/10/2025What have you been struggling with/what have you tried? Also, what distro? IIRC some like Mint have a fairly straightforward installation process even with no (U)EFI 100 0
Est @e5st.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Hope you enjoy! I've heard good things of bazzite, though never used it personally 010 0
Est @e5st.bsky.social · 12/10/2025I've finished both (only the VNs though) and I think I'm kind of like this. I think they were good VNs but not peak/my favorites. I don't recommend it much to others due to the big timesink and also don't plan on revisiting them. I do think about umineko fairly often due to the OST, however. 010 0

Est @e5st.bsky.social · 29/09/2025It's quickly becoming a global thing, sadly, the mandated age verification through ID/Personal info. UK, US states, Australia and now Brazil, as of last week, off the top of my head. I don't see it turning back for the foreseeable future, only expanding. 130 0

Est @e5st.bsky.social · 06/02/2025RF is a HM spinoff with lots of kind of RPG elements (dungeons/combat, more focus on having an overarching story) while also having the classic farming and social element of HM/Stardew In other words it's great! I particularly like RF3, but RF4 special is also pretty good. 110 0
Est @e5st.bsky.social · 05/02/2025If it goes over 6 months I restart it usually, except for stuff like Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons where I'm fine taking it way slower. 010 0
Est @e5st.bsky.social · 05/11/2024Renne's hair color being purple so I often see the color in your profile when I visit (also saw a purple heart once iirc) + your name reminding me of Pokedex (I think you've said that's where the Dex part came from) With ghost-type being purple in my head I guess I associated it? 110 0

Est @e5st.bsky.social · 22/10/2024Aside from an ethical issue standpoint (job losses, training set, etc), from a quality point of view AI translations just aren't that good even as a base. Plus, more than just "translated", things should be "localized", and that requires an actual person translating as AI can't do it. 110 0
