Title: Drop by and say hello
Post by: Sakuragawa on November 11, 2017, 03:41:24 AM
I'm not as active as I used to be but I do still drop by on occasion. Drop a line and say hello. How have you been.

I'd like to see more activity here. I see new members all the time but no one posts...


Winter is coming, it's getting colder.

Also, I am seeing an increasing number of mobile otome games in English so that's good, although some games' translations could be better.

@Sakuragawa (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=17962) Finally back, got a crappy cold that dragged on for 2 weeks after I got back. Want to get this place more active again too. I need to put in some work! :wry: Also need to figure out what happened to those missing posts you mentioned.

@kokoro-cafe (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=2) Hi, there!
I haven't been to this site for some time. Sorry for asking right here - I tried looking, but couldn't find an appropriate place - how is it going? What's new? I remember the time when this place was buzzing with collective activity on doing walkthroughs and so on. What happened? I wonder if people are playing by themselves now.
Where's Aiwethryne? I understand that the same people can't be around forever, but it's still sad when someone dependable you knew just goes offline for so long.

@Nobodyknows (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=5928) Hi! Yeah it's definitely not what it was sadly. I haven't had time to do much updating since I've been busy with my own projects and of course people move on too. Aiwethryne is gone, she came back for a little bit and posted that she has a boyfriend now. She seems pretty happy though so I hope it's going well for her. How have you been?

@kokoro-cafe (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=2) It's a pity. But then again, it happens all the time with different fandoms. A couple years of activity and then this. But still this place is unique! Please, keep up your great work!

Aiwethryne is gone, she came back for a little bit and posted that she has a boyfriend now.
Ha! That's actually great! After all, I do play these games (and some Bioware romance RPG) out of loneliness and need to feel good, even if it's pixel men. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. I mean, of course these are different things - IRL and games. But even if you meet someone, you may never hear from them something so cheesy-sweet that only your pixel men are bold enough to say :))

I fell out of gaming for a while due to job/money and time problems, but I'm slowly trying to get back.
BTW, I tried to go to Walkthrough thread here - https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?topic=562.0

.. and couldn't do it. Did it got deleted somehow?

@Nobodyknows (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=5928) I'm trying to keep this place going lol. Just so many commitments now and a wedding to plan. :dizzy: Hope things are looking better for you. I totally understand about playing these games when needing to feel good. Pixelated men are more romantic than my fiance sometimes. :giggle: He has his moments though.

So, that particular walkthrough is gone, sadly. Accela sent me a formal DMCA request.

Wow, that's.. strange. Really strange. It's not like we were doing something that would diminish their profits. I'd even say, those were our own.. well, how to put it.. achievements, something we discovered for ourselves. It's like sharing test answers with a friend - I know the right answers, I got them by myself and it's my choice whether to share it with a friend or not. 
And yet the CGs are up and alive. Oh, the irony :D

@Nobodyknows (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=5928) 

Thanks! I'm super excited about the wedding but it's so stressful doing the planning for it. :wry:

Yeah, I agree. I guess they never put CGs into their restrictions weirdly. I feel like any information on the web about them actually will help them get promoted but I guess they don't think of it that way. *shrug*

Work has been busy T_T I barely have time for otome and sleep.


I haven't played an Accela game in a long time. Cybird and Voltage have been dominating.

Gotta make time for at least an occasional play session, Skuragawa. At least that's what I try to do no matter how busy everything else seems to be. Keeps me sane. Relatively. lol

I'm also into otome games! I thought I would stop by and say hi :)

It's been a while. Again :)
That's strange, I had never been a significant member of this forum, no one even remembers me, yet I keep coming back. I'm a nostalgia sucker, I guess. Though I think one "lives in the past" only when he doesn't have gripping present. So, how's everyone doing? Are you still playing? Did you get married and left otome or do you still find time for this? If you do, how do you manage your time?

@kokoro-cafe (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=2) 

How has it been for you? Marriage is a new expirience. I hope you're doing great ^_^

Oh no, it's been too long since I've checked back. Surprisingly I'm still playing otome :giggle:. Still playing Cybird's games. A3! is fun and the anime will be airing soon. Happy New Year. I'm glad the site is still around.

@Sakuragawa (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=17962) welcome back lol I've been so busy the last couple of years. Hardly have time now.

@Nobodyknows (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=5928) Oh, can't believe I missed your post. Doing good, marriage has been amazing. Love my hubby so much! Have been super busy at work, hard to find time for anything lately I feel like between that and our new cat. (https://kokoro-cafe.net/Smileys/default/death2.gif) We adopted the cutest kitten and she's full grown now but a total handful and loves to force us to cuddle with her at all hours. Also very, very vocal and talks back to us all the time when she knows she's not suppose to do something. Such a little troublemaker but we love her and when she force cuddles us it's hard to push her off cus she's too cute. (https://kokoro-cafe.net/Smileys/default/giggle.gif)

How have you both of you been?

Hey KC, good to hear that you're doing well. I'm fine and playing otome as always. :wave:

@Sakuragawa (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=17962) It's been a crazy year~~ hope you are still doing well! I've been so busy... Played some palace harem games that have romance routes but that's like all I've had time to play. :wry: Will be renovating this site when I have the time.

@kokoro-cafe (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=2) Hey KC, I'm doing fine, don't wanna go out, I like staying home (wow another year already)

I'm sad that Midnight Cinderella isn't getting updates anymore, tho the JP version seems to still be active :sigh:

I'd say my most played otome game right now is Court of Darkness from Voltage. I've also started playing Rune Factory 4 on Switch, I find it fun but a bit stressful cuz there's so much to do in a day haha.

Good luck with the site renovations :grin2:  (damn all the spam messages...)

@Sakuragawa (https://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php?action=profile;u=17962) I want to travel so bad... this is the longest I've stayed put in one place since like.... ever!

The spam on here is so bad..... :wry: Thinking of shifting from just forum to wordpress with a forum. Doesn't make sense to have a forum as the major part of the site anymore. But if I do I have to convert everything to do that. So much work and so little time but it really needs to be done.

Not sure how many of the walkthroughs on here are even relevant anymore. So many otome games have come and gone already. Hard to keep up!

I'm now just waiting for the newest Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side to come out for Switch. My first otome game lol. :love: In the meantime I've shifted away from palace harem games (spent waaaaaaaaaay to much money trying to keep my rank) to like animal crossings which is arguably costing me more money lol I totally blame my best friend for this addiction. She got me totally hooked, it's so bad~~ :wry: And my island looks like a dumpster!
