September 1st 2024

Another brief weekly update due to the overlap of a monthly update being released back-to-back! We’re starting off with some philosophy from our old friend Pseychie on the price of Gacha skins. Keep in mind the point of the video is to encourage discussion and gathering of perspectives, rather than definitively state what is objectively correct. My stance of course is nuanced, and you can hear more about it in detail in the audio blog. The extremely abridged version is simply, “it depends on who’s asking”.

Really going into the cracks of the internet here to dig this obscure title out of the ground, it’s called Atlyss. Best way to describe it is an offline “old mmorpg” game that has multiplayer (what?). Yeah, I know it sounds weird too, but it’s a lot easier to grasp if you just download the demo and play it yourself. Keep in mind this game is still in very early access (even though it’s been worked on for a while now) and the final release will probably differ greatly from the current version. Also, highly likely the final release will be 10 years from now given the track record of other games, but progress is progress!

Artist is cranihum

I think I’ve probably recommended cranihum in the past for artist of the week, and it’s certain I’ll probably recommend them again in the future. Anyone who does monster girls, specifically short stack goblin waifus is probably going to get a lot of real estate on this website. See you all in the monthly update!

Mini Post Recording Update

I know Horizon Walker was released in KR, but it’s for the KR One store only. Attempts to play the APK so far have been partially successful by switching your language to Korean and playing it that way in BlueStacks emulator. More details are in the video above. The developer however has stated they are interested in releasing a global / steam client though, so if you’re already settled into whatever you’re playing now - you could just wait until it’s launched officially. Also note that at any time if you’re playing the game right now, your account could be deleted, banned or the game patched so the trick above no longer works. Just a heads up for pioneers.
