As it happens, today hasn't been too bad. There's been the usual self-important "GO OUT AND VOTE!"-type posts on social media, but the actual… ranty, ravey side of things seems to have been relatively calm for today. That or I've finally outfoxed the Twitter algorithm and completely blocked all trace of political nonsense with artists who draw anime boobies very well. Either way, things have been fine.
I suspect tomorrow will likely be another matter altogether, but exactly what form that will take remains to be seen. It doesn't really bear thinking about right now, though, so that's the last on the matter from me for now, anyway. As I said yesterday, if you just want a nice, calm, kind, chill place to hang out, you can always stop by MoeGamer, my YouTube channel or the Discord and just enjoy some gaming good times. I recommend it; them video game things are pretty fun.
I'm reviewing Touhou Spell Bubble for Nintendo Life shortly. I submitted the review today — not sure when it's going to be published as yet, but hopefully soon. It's a really good game if you ever enjoyed Puzzle Bobble and didn't get turned off the formula by the zillion clones on the App Store/Google Play. Touhou Spell Bubble is actually made by Taito themselves, so you can very much think of it as a new Puzzle Bobble game — and the new mechanics involved, which are based around musical elements, are really fun. The only weak point is the localisation, which is dogshit, but anyone who has been following the Touhou series for any period of time will already be perfectly familiar with completely nonsensical translated dialogue. This is at least a step up from machine-translated gibberish. And, as I note in my review, the mechanics are the star here anyway.
I've got another review pending, but I haven't received the code for it as yet and indeed can't remember the title offhand. It appears to be a premium spin-off from a mobile game I'm not familiar with, so it remains to be seen exactly what I can expect from it! Could be interesting; could be a flaming pile of garbage. Watch this space for some initial thoughts!
Anyway, for now I think it's time to head to bed, play some Evercade and not think about anything even vaguely America-related. Good luck US folks; I suspect regardless of however things go, there's a rocky road ahead!
