Would you happen to have a link to what they were talking about? I must be on one of their mod lists, becuase I'm apparently blocked, despite having never interacted with them before.

One thing I did want to share - you can get the fishing rod from a merchant early on for 800G. Fishing is almost identical to the other post One World games where you pull the rod when the fish is swimming and reel when it's tired. It's simple but it works. #HMTeradea

So this is a mechanic that was found in Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home. If it IS like HSH, the chapter-ending, major story events are action-gated behind Happilia. You have to do sidequests, raise crops, talk to folks, etc. The more you do, the faster it fills until you fill the jar.
Happilia: "You can earn Happilia by doing various actions, such as shipping crops, selling items, and interacting with townspeople. Completing requests will earn you a lot of Happilia!"

I'm so glad that Natsume still cares about Doc. He was your inventor in Skytree, Light of Hope, and Lost Valley- a weird bastard but a fun character. Arguably the best part of those games, because they were early in the iteration cycle and thus fucking dire.

There are some things that are weird, like how jumps are context-sensitive. Would've been nice to just have universal jump-downs up to [X] height. Also, this is an optimization thing, but some of the low-detail animation bounds are too close. One opening scene, a character judders down from a cliff

This could change, but I decided to poke into a walkthrough because, well... adventure game logic IS bullshit and I like to know how bad. Found this, realized it's pissing off the right people. I just hope this one doesn't end up as another gaggle of queerphobic gags by the end.
 Use the key to open the door and get through to the oval office - yeah, and not sure why the developers felt the need to get all political and add #metoo movements in the game - please keep it out of gaming next time. Whatever you say you'll get a trophy for this part.

AD VISION GOING HENTAI????
[Gimme me a second to put on my asbestos suit!]

In all fairness AD Vision has some of the best subtitling around, if you saw
Burn Up, or Rei Rei, you know what I mean.

But lately, AD Vision IMHO is going "H" in their latest releases.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Rei Rei- Not what I would call "family entertainment" (GREAT FUN!)

End of Summer (Close enough?) - A guy finds out that he is "homosexual"
after his (5) affairs with women.

Guy Double Target- more "family entertainment" explicit adult scenes.
Pretty good! Lots of violence... :)

Girl From Phantasia - Saw the preview and I can take a good guess at this
one, looks adult to me.

NOW IM NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS BAD, BUT I AM MERELY POINTING OUT WHAT
APPEARS TO BE A TREND. Im not a prude, its just that I notice things
(wink, wink)

Yes, there are some non "adult" titles Burn Up and Sol Bianca but as far
as the majority goes.... (Sorry, have no idea about Plastic Little)

Hopefully anybody that reads this post will understand that I am not using
the term "Hentai" in a derogatory or slanderous way against AD Vision.
I happen to like this newer approach to Anime that other companies will
only experiment with. I hope they keep up the good work. :)

Just another "Hentai Otaku"

As someone who's been eager to see Natsume and Imagica GEEQ (prev. Tabot, appci) iterate on their own Harvest Moon formula for the past twelve years, this alone makes me excited for Teradea's launch this week. They clearly listen to feedback, and keep moving toward something charming and unique.
If you happen to run out of Animal Feed (which is expensive when you're starting out, at 80 G a bag), you can graze your animals outside to feed them. Even when no crops are growing in the fields, the animals will be fed if they're left outside on a sunny day for at least an hour.
Building interiors can be viewed from every angle. In Anthos, walking into a building meant that the north/south view was all you could see. Sure, you could wander around and go behind counters, but the view wouldn't change. In Teradea, the camera can fully rotate and change views while you're indoors.

- Queerphobic
- "Prince Uranus"
- "Nayko"
- Pissed off Ken Iyadomi
- Somehow worse than Stu Levy
- Comic-Con '90
- "Queen Geena"
- Infantlized Naoko Takeuchi
- Harassed TV Networks

Chad Canada, though?

- HELL YEAH SAILOR MOON
- Bought ALL the toys
- CanCon is Best Con
- Willed new dubbed seasons into existence
- Called out DiC's bullshit before it was cool
- "Hit YTV show Sailor Moon"

One thing to note: I explicitly am avoiding Frinkiac these days for my Simpsons shitposts, because fuck them for ruining a beautiful thing with vibe coded slop.
Ten Years of Frinkiac: A Few Months of Modernization with AI
It’s been just over ten years (February 2, 2016) since we launched Frinkiac to the public. In those first few months after release we added GIF support, some new sites (hello Morbotron), and then we mostly stopped working on it. Everything worked well enough for us and the code sat unchanged on the same architecture we’d built in 2015.

In February 2026 it occurred to us that maybe we should point those AI coding tools we’ve been using at the Frinkiac codebase. The result of that work is live now and you can go see it on both Frinkiac and Morbotron, but we’ve also documented a subset of the experience in this post.
