Welcome to the weekend everybody! Glad to see you made it!

A little Touhou news, but about a tabletop RPG:
Gensou Narratograph: The Roleplaying Game Based on Touhou supports up to four players and one game master. LionWing describes the game as combining "cozy slice-of-life storytelling with Danmaku Duels inspired by the franchise’s bullet-hell confrontations.”
That sounds kinda fun, not that I could get a group together for it, heh!
It’s an appropriate header image to use for this post, because I’ve spent the past week or so playing Deathsmiles. Struggling with the difficulty spike that is the final level, but I can see why it’s always a top recommendation for beginners because the rest of the game is easy to learn.
I started this month trying out the Alltynex trilogy (Alltynex Second, RefleX, KAMUI) on Steam. These games surprised me because I’ve not seen them talked about much, but each one has a unique graphical style and set of gameplay mechanics, and it makes each of them worth playing today. If you like RayForce and RayStorm then there’s a lot to enjoy here.
Every time I plan on getting Deathsmiles, or any CAVE game, the prices are either higher than before, or stock is low. I’ll probably end up making a Japanese eshop account someday.
Nice! Also glad to hear you’re getting into the Alltynex trilogy, it’s an under-rated series in my opinion.
I feel no shame admitting that I gave in and bought Cotton Reboot! High Tension and even with the Switch 1 slowdown it is fun to play.
I only had to give 3 classes this week, two of them were remote because of a storm and the other one was a 3-hour test. I spent some of my free time fixing my blog.
More strikes today in France and elsewhere. Be safe folks, remember to use passwords only on your phones (no biometrics)…
Stay safe yourself friend! ❤️
