    ( ̄︶ ̄)↗ Hi!

    Hi @cpvr ! I write both fiction and non-fiction. My fiction writing is usually romance, and my non-fiction writing has mainly been English documentation for a Japanese coding language. I write, draw/composite, and code Ukagaka, too. The code documentation work I do is for Ukagaka. (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)...

    What's the virtual pet game you think is underrated?

    I totally agree!! I was absolutely obsessed with them when I was new to PC gaming, they were the most alive virtual pet I had ever known. The fact they even have basic brain chemistry and hormonal systems that were intended to be observed and manipulated was stunning. I've yet to actually find a...

    Games good for partners?

    I've heard really good things about Popucom if you're introducing someone to games who doesn't usually play them, but less casual gamers might find it a little easy. Hazelight's games are more story-focused but are specifically designed for co-op play, too. They got progressively more game-like...

    What's the Latest Gadget or Device You've Purchased?

    I think the most recent electronic I bought was a pair of wireless earbuds. Though, I didn't actually buy them, they were just given for free with some groceries I bought once. They're really cheap, just a $10 value, so I didn't have high expectations. But I had always been a little curious...

    What’s the best narrative-driven indie game you’ve played?

    Disco Elysium, for sure. The script's over a million words long, and the writing for that script is fantastic.

    Do you read reviews before watching any movie?

    I typically look at a film's synopsis and average stars/review score, then skim reviews to get a loose impression. I've never particularly cared about spoilers (I think most good media should work even if spoiled) so I don't mind that aspect of reading reviews before I watch a movie. My...

    How does your personal morals impact your performance in games?

    Often I'll abide by my real-life values first in a game, and then on a repeat playthrough I'll do other paths... Video games are a good place to explore experiences we otherwise wouldn't have without hurting anyone. So I don't really struggle with morally objectionable actions in a...

    ( ̄︶ ̄)↗ Hi!

    Hi! I'm Leon, new to VPL but not to virtual pets. I grew up on the Creatures franchise as well as the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure. So, I'm definitely more interested in the genetics and generational gameplay than some. I also dabbled in Flight Rising, Neopets, and Wolvden. But I'm more of a...
