Staring at the truth 'til I'm blind

Aww... Guys, it's another "correcting misconceptions" post. Let's just go somewhere else and come back later. (Good, I never liked them anyway.) "SOS" does not stand for "Save Our Souls" or "Save Our Ships" or anything like that. It actually doesn't stand for anything. It was just used as a cry of distress because it was the simplest to remember and use in Morse code. "News" does not stand for "North, East, West and South" or "Notable events, Entertainment, Weather and Sports". Again, it doesn't stand for anything. It's most likely just a plural form of "new", since the news (is supposed to) concern new topics and events in the world. "Posh" is not an acronym for "Port Out, Starboard Home", supposedly from how rich people would book rooms on cruise ships. "Fuck" is not an acronym for "Fornication Under Consent of King" or "For Unlawf...

Time for me to shine

Want another pointless trivia? Well, too bad, you're getting one anyway. This one's going to be about Sonic the Hedgehog again, mostly Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania . The original title of Sonic Mania was Sonic Discovery . The name Sonic Mania was suggested by head of Sonic Team, Iizuka Takashi himself, who felt the game was made "for the mania, by the mania".

This is a reference to the infamous Sonic 25th anniversary livestream, whic...

Someone said I am such a foolish girl

Hello, darlings! It's your favourite California girl July here! I've taken over this blog to talk about my favourite game of all time, The World Ends with You on the DS. I play this game obsessively, so I thought I'd come to you all and share my wisdom and experience, and give you some tips to help make the game as easy as I am. *giggle* So to start off, let me give you some basic tips, darlings. First off, if you wanna play this game seriously, you're gonna have to learn how to use both screens at the same time. I know it sounds kinda like trying to pat your head and rub your stomach, but if you wanna get good at this game, you gotta master this skill. Practise, practise, practise. You can't rely on the computer to bail you out, darlings, especially in the harder fights. Trust me, eventually you'll get the hang of it. Okay, now let's talk about pin setup. There's a great setup that'll make the early game a cakewalk, so let's get started! ...
