#written posts

Last week we experimented with shifting our post time 12 hours forward, largely brought on by major construction on and around our house that's been going on for a few months.

It's necessitated some changes to our workflow, and shifting our schedule around has definitely helped us balance other aspects of our lives, get more sleep and also stay very productive. We'll be keeping this schedule for the foreseeable future and let you know if that changes in the future.

Of course you can still expect various bonus posts at random times throughout the day as ever if and when they happen.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We love when people enjoy stuff we've made enough that they want to use them as avatars or headers. It's very high praise. Definitely completely okay in our book, and you can feel free to do that without having to ask us.

The only context we're not happy with our stuff being used in is aggregators on other sites reposting it for money and clout, especially if they're not transforming it at all or even so much as using it to prompt discussion.

If you want to use our stuff as avatars or headers that's great. If you have some kind of transformational use of them we approve. If you want to use any of what we make in messages (Discord or tweet replies for example) then we're happy to have contributed to the way you communicate. We only have a problem with people who turn what we do into a product, whether they're seeking money or clout.

Starting this Wednesday (May 20th) we'll be experimenting with shifting our post schedule forward 12 hours, from 4 AM PDT to 4 PM PDT. We'll be trying this out for a week to see how things feel, and get back to you on the 27th with a more final decision on where our post time will settle.

We know this is a sudden change so as a small bonus we'll be dropping a double dose of posts this Wednesday coinciding with the change, at both the old and new times.

If anybody has any thoughts or preferences we'd love to hear them, as reaching you all more consistently and conveniently is the goal.

Listed in no particular order, here are our five favorites each. As per usual, my list is on top with Larsa's below. With so many good choices it was definitely hard to narrow it down to just five each, certainly lists that could change depending on the day. Images courtesy of Wikimon.

Thanks for your question.

JRPG is a bit of a loose term, but we think these are some fine recommendations for lesser-played games one would generally think of as being within the scope of a JRPG. It's certainly a genre much more diverse than one might expect given how centralizing the popularity of certain pillars of it are.

Afraid you have us confused for another blog with regards to Shin Megami Tensei 3 however. We've yet to actually post anything from it, though Larsa has plans to do so in the future.

It's so hard to quantify "obscure", especially as content creators who are super deep into gaming. Our perspectives are bound to be skewed and it's obviously a term that will mean something different to every individual.

That being said, here's five picks from each of us (mine are the top row, Larsa's are the bottom row) that can probably be considered obscure enough to the average gamer, listed in no particular order. Limiting this to just five each was pretty tough, definitely a fun challenge.

Thank you for the interesting question.
