2026 Steam Spring Sale Recap

The Steam Spring Sale ends today, and I thought it'd be fun to recap what I bought and downloaded.  This sale, I was super cheap, and only sprung for cheap, silly games.

Hello Kitty Island: City Town Hype

I still play Hello Kitty Island, every day.  I still have loads of quests to do, because  I'm lazy and just login for the login rewards, do the holiday event, and leave.  I know, I need to fucking play the game.  I also need more ADHD meds.  We'll see what happens first.

Anyways, they finally announced the release date for their next DLC, City Town.  Surprisingly, it's the same day as the Tomodachi Life release.  This seems on purpose, since there will be a good bit of overlap between each game's player base.  There both kinda cozy games, targeting Switch players.   I'm prolly gonna get both, to be honest, but I might wait a while to get City Town, since I still haven't finished base game or Wheatflour Wonderland.  Yeah, I have a lot to get through, so we'll see.  City Town DLC drops on April 16.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream DEMO

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a game coming out next month that I've wanted for a decade.  It's predecessor, Tomodachi Life on 3DS was loads of fun, but it's biggest setback was inability to make gay couples and queer characters.  Living the dream remedies that with 3 gender options, and romantic orientation options to include any arrangement of those 3 genders.  The 3 genders are male, female, and nonbinary.  Sure, it's not perfect, but it's a huge upgrade from just male and female and all forced to be straight!  My OCs are all gay or bi, and I'm fucking nonbinary, so yay, all good changes for me.

2026 Media Goals update 1

I set some really lofty goals for this year, media wise.  I wanted to finish and review 1 book, 1 vn, and 1 cartridge game each month.  So far, every review I've posted this year is media I already played or read and finished last year or earlier.  I have a crazy amount of goals this year, between my writing, my art, my dolls, and my backlog, but I don't think I should give up just yet.
