Have you ever heard of the phrase “a cup of tea is a cup of peace” before? It might sound farfetched to anyone who doesn’t delight in a cup of their own but we leaf-juice drinkers find it pretty accurate. It’s the perfect way to start your morning, to compliment lunch and can even end a stressful day by sending you off to a peaceful slumber. But what if I said that tea could also… chase away grisly nightmares, help you keep up at work, and even predict your future? If you’re in need of a little magic to spice up your life, then you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to Sweetcore Brews, Noch ..read more

Like my credit score, Red Spring Studios revealed themselves to be a magical yet mysterious entity back on October 28th 2022, when they announced themselves with a promising yet agonizingly short post: As the nights grow long and shadows stretch, monsters awaken. Leave offerings to keep them away, or flowers to invite them in… — TOUCHSTARVED (@redspringstudio) October 28, 2022 It was only until Halloween night that they’d satisfy our curiosity with a small teaser and description: a monstrous romance visual novel that’ll your heart out. Will you gaze into the abyss? From the talent behin ..read more

As always, I’m late to the party when it comes to blog posting on time but for once – I’m actually happy this was happening late! At first this little blurb was to celebrate fluffy, decadent romance as an older woman for the month of Feb but decided to change my mind in the middle of it. The original plan was to talk about my newfound relationship and what quirks I’ve had to navigate as someone who hasn’t dated for over five years but after binge watching those Psych2Go videos on Youtube, the inspiration hit me. A lot of times I’ll watch them to challenge myself but they’re mostly just fun to ..read more

Happy Holidays everyone! Did everyone get their shopping done yet? You’ve only got a few days before Christmas! And even if we don’t believe in Santa anymore (or think that, like Tuxedo Mask, there’s a hot man hidden under a costume) we can still snuggle up to a good story. Which favorite otome/amare game do you like playing during winter? I think mine still remains CxM but with these new titles coming out next year, that might quickly change! So let’s snuggle up and have some tea one last time before the new year while I dish the gossip on these new titles~ DIFFRACTION~ Last week on Decemb ..read more

“You said that the color would leave when winter comes but I like the winter months very much. Because you can spend the winter being excited about what kind of flowers will bloom in the spring.” – Hana no Namae I HAVE ARISEN! Yes, I’m still irritated it’s Sunday but it’s okay because I’m at least moisturized and looking cute. Why did I wake up choosing violence? That remains to be seen but perhaps it’s because we’re nearing the end of the year. It’s December already and all I’ve to show for is ashy ankles and social anxiety. BLECH! So let’s clear the musty air while I reflect over these pas ..read more

We’ve three days until the Kickstarter for Untold Atlas ends and we should celebrate with a little creative corner contest! If the first thing that comes to mind is all of us sitting on these kiddy-sized tables and playing around with construction paper and glitter glue, then you’d be mostly correct. Except for the uncomfortable sitting part! Most giveaways and contests that are held on this space default to just art and/or cosplaying – both fun to observe yet something I’m completely unexperienced in doing; my stick figures look very sad and pitiful and I’m still learning to grow confident ..read more

H’ooooo lordy. This game. This. Game. I’ve been following this title for a while now and anytime updates come through, my excitement went near feral. A slice-of-death VN where you explore life in the afterlife, accompanied by handsome yet mysterious faces as you slowly try to piece together fragments of your memory from a previous lifetime. Amnesia? Solving my problems by fleeing into the afterlife with hotties? Kicking butt as a soul-delivering reaper? Sign me up, I’ve been needing to escape personal responsibilities since last week. Seeing a theme here? It’s cos there is. Any game that makes ..read more

I already had this post done before but, wouldn’t you know it, writing on your phone in the middle of a forest located at Nowhere Land wasn’t the best way. Power went out and then everyone heard a wail coming from inside the tent because I KNEW, somewhere deep in my heart, that this was karma for not feeding that fat little raccoon that crossed my tent earlier that morning. I know it. I feel it deep in my bones. But enough about my tragedy! Let’s spill the tea by starting off with a strong cup and addressing the biggest elephant in the room: Tears of Themis. Official Announcement Hoyolab *RUNS ..read more

Session 1 – 8 Recap As promised, I’ve finally moved my TTRPG nonsense to the blog and my stream! Keep in mind, despite being a lover of all things fantasy and roleplay based, this is my first time playing D&D and there are a lot of things I’m still learning. Thankfully my GM Berrod is both gracious and patient with his knowledge by hosting small in-between sessions to go over our stats so improvements are constantly behind made! He hosts two games for my group, The Princes of the Apocalypse and Curse of Strahd, and I’ll be posting a small summary of each campaign thus far so it’s easier t ..read more

Watching my favorite movies recently has struck with me a sense of wanderlust; the Lost City of Atlantis, the Road to El Dorado, and last but certainly not least – Treasure Planet! Venturing to unknown lands and chasing after danger! A shame that I don’t have a passport yet and unable to soar through the galaxy or explore a submerged world underwater, so what’s a broke auntie to do? Play a romantic RPG, obviously. What better way to self-insert yourself into a new world without any consequences or needing to pack? Nochi Studios fully intends to help us who are starving for adventure by giving ..read more
