May. 29th, 2018 07:45 pmI'm still looking for prompts for my usual June Ficspam, but in the meantime, I'm going to share a link to an interesting video, talk about a possible purchase, and then mumble a bit about Final Fantasy II.
CGR Undertow - Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya talks about that game, which I first played on Palm OS, and then finally finished on my 2DS a year or two back. It's a very challenging game! It's funny, I'm not into tactics games, but this one I liked.
I don't know if Japanese word processors interest most people, but there's a Kickstarter for an English version of the Pomera DM30. It does use 2 AA batteries, but specifically says that rechargables are fine. The Pomera series of portable word processors have been available for years and I know that most of the series offers English input if you don't mind a Japanese keyboard.
These things do not connect to the internet (though with QR codes, you can transfer text to say, an iPhone, and you could also transfer via PC cable/SD card), so they're ideal for things like NaNoWriMo. This one will not be ready for that this year.
Ever since I figured out that Yuu had a word processor on his desk in Fatal Frame III, I've kind of wanted a Japanese word processor, but I don't know if this Kickstarter will bear fruit. :( It looks like some used models are expensive but might be worthwhile on Amazon, though.
Also, not having to do with anything else, but Slime Rancher has a new update, so... new ornaments! I'll try to screenshot my ornament collection from last year sometime soon and share it.
( Final Fantasy II mechanics, with some Rune Factory 4 and Fantasy Life comparisons )
