Airheaded video game enjoyer and baby vTuber.
I like to be cute and play games that make my brain hurt

why are canadians so cool?
We get more winter here than a lot of other places :3
Picking up from before (well, aside from the last Shiren question I forgot I sent anonymously for some reason lol), if you had to narrow them down, what are say... five or so games/series you know you want to try that are close to the top of your bucket list?
Hope work is treating/treated you well, depending on when you see this~!
I have a "short" list of games I want to start soon! I can post them shortly :3
Please gush about ogrebattle64! Also dont stream full time its bad for your psyche
I love Ogrebattle! It's a really unique kind of SRPG, almost RTSlike... And I love the music and the artstyle and the story and it's just a really immaculate game
I wanna do a playthrough soon where I name units after friends and viewers and have a big army :3
What's a good game big city
SimCity 3000 (sorry you said or called me big city so all I can think about answering this is city games)
Do you have any long term goals for streaming? Would you ever like go turn it into a full time thing or would you rather leave it a hobby?
I think it would be nice if it was possible for me to go full time but I don't think that's like. Realistically achievable for me, you know? As it is I feel kinda guilty when people do stuff like subs or gift subs and I also fear that it becoming my main source of income would make it feel more stressful and less fun 💦💦
If you could visit anywhere in the world where would you like to go first?
This might sound typical, but I'd really like to go to Japan. Travel in general terrifies me, but I feel like I would most enjoy it there!
I would feel like I'd need to learn the language first though ;;
Any tips for "getting into" Shiren? Habits someone might want to form, things to avoid, etc.
I imagine they'd probably vary slightly from game to game, but every time I watch you play, there are certain things you do or trains of thought you go down that I'm not sure stuff like PMD would've ever conditioned me to think about growing up. It's REALLY fun seeing you work it out and hearing your thought process though!
If I had to give any single tip at all for all games; take your time!!
I know that might sound simple, but there is no real time pressure in these games whatsoever. Everything is turn based. If you find yourself in a situation, you don't have to act right away - you can examine the situation and look at your items and plan a course of action.
I think it's also useful to write things down. There's not much in the way of any kind of meta progression - all the progression is your own knowledge in your head. You can record interactions and item properties and enemy abilities and all kinds of stuff. I like making spreadsheets!
Alright, I lied about the "questionless" part earlier, my brain just hadn't fully woken up yet lol
Are there any games/series you've wanted and tried to get into, but ended up bouncing off of? Resident Evil being my personal example since I've long been convinced that I don't have the metaphorical or literal strength of heart to survive playing through one of them.
Souls games I guess? I tried Elden Ring because the combat and the character building looked interesting to me but the open world aspect of it just totally repelled me. I'm curious about trying DS1/2/3 though to see if those are more my cup of tea!
RTS games in general too - in theory they're my kind of thing, but after playing some I realized that the part I like is building up my base and a huge army to go steamroll the other guy and I hate when they come to fuck with me during the base building part lmfao I'm not good at reacting to it i just wanna have a lot of buildings and turrets and press all the upgrades :3
how come you are so sweet?
Um. I'm not sure if this is true and I don't think I have an answer as to the reason either way lmfao ;; but thank you!!!
What is the most despicable Pokemon? Or Shiren mon
This answer might change with the winds but in competitive play Togekiss and Jirachi are some of the most annoying bastards in the cosmos. They paralyze you with Thunder Wave and then because of their Serene Grace ability their bread and butter attacks have a 60% chance to Flinch you and they're also tanky and have strong recovery in their movesets and they just sit there and death by a thousands cuts you
For Shiren it's either Weed Men (all levels) or Kappas (level 3+).
Weed Men (also called Field Knave, Field Raider etc) are weak in combat but they're item destroying freaks. The first form just wanders around destroying ground items and turning them into Weeds. You run into them pretty early game (5~8F) when ground loot is the most important for getting your run off the ground. The leveled up forms have greatly enhanced abilities, such as throwing Weeds into your pots, throwing Weeds to knock items out of your inventory or even directly turning your inventory items into Weeds.
Kappas are also item destroying freaks, but instead of fucking with your inventory they throw ground items at Shiren and the high level ones do so from incredible distances and the effects of these items do activate when they hit you. Level 4 Kappas can throw items at you from anywhere on the floor and they don't even need to be able to see you!!!
