2024/10/20

In this episode, in which we cover SEVEN outfits, we zoom in on the perpetually terrified specifically of the viewer shrine maiden Mai Aiahara, who prompts a very spooky question, when it isn't even Halloween yet: Are we sure that this girl is like, alive?

In this episode, fueled by an anime watching experience that was certainly, uhm, well, anyway, we zoom in on Washizu Iwao from mahjong anime Akagi, who plays mahjong with your blood, but not necessarily with your heart because he's kinda, well, anyway, we ask a very geometric question: What are the shapes on this man's face actually supposed to be? Why does he look so different sometimes and exactly the same others? Follow along: https://mahjongsoul.club/character/IwaoWashizu Create a Soul Mates

On this, Gone Fishin'!'s final voyage, we do the thing that Ivy has had as a called shot since day one and play Arknights! In the critically acclaimed tower defense gacha game featuring music by Mili and published by Yostar, I think that cute girl should be an old man, autobattle autobattle autobattle autobattle, cheer a lot for furries as a concept, and ask a beleaguered question: Why 14 gigabytes?

In this, one of the only rhythm gacha games that is on the market which I have not played, I fistfight Apple, affirm who is and is not a freak, out myself as a fan of a particular webtoon for some reason, and ask a yet-unanswered question: When will MyGo release on the global version?

On this, Gone Fishin'!'s second voyage, we cast a wide net to get a taste of Food Fantasy! In this 'Food Personified RPG', I wade through a world of inexplicable food reviews, try to take care of Peking Duck's many children, and ask a clarifying question: Is it, like, noodles? Chocolate? Cake? Cookies? Glutinous rice cake? Please, I just want to know. Gone Fishin'! cover art by ash!
