Last Week, Nintendo Had An Indie World Showcase. It's Like A Direct But Primarily For Indie Games From
Last week, Nintendo had an Indie World Showcase. It's like a Direct but primarily for indie games from developers all around the world. A lot of cool games were shown (Have a Nice Death, Pepper Grinder, and Oni, to name a few) but the one that really grabbed my attention was this weird looking game that was released on the same day. Once Upon a Jester. It's about these two friends, Sok and Jester, and their quest to win a chance to perform at the kingdom's Royal Theatrical Spectacle. This, however, is a ruse so they can steal the Royal Diamond! A game where two idiots perform improv theatre so they can steal a big jewel? Sign me up!
The game itself was really fun! The developers, Bonte Avond, recorded most of the dialogue in one take. It definitely shows. But this is by no means a criticism. In fact, the way the dialogue is recorded makes the improv in the game feel much more authentic. Plus it's really funny to see what they came up with. The gameplay is pretty simple, with the player needing to complete quicktime events during the performance to get a good score. The main goal with each performance is to get 5 bouquets from the audience, with a total of fifteen in each town you perform in. If can't get five in one performance, no worries. You can keep trying as long as you need. The plot isn't going anywhere. Also, since the developers are primarily musicians, the music slaps. As someone who spent all of high school and college doing theatre, I can't recommend this game enough.
This isn't so much a review as much me wanting to talk about this really charming game. If you have a Switch or Steam and an appreciation for theatre, then Once Upon a Jester may be for you.
Oh, also Corpse Husband has a cameo in the game. It's hilarious.

Will’s Anime Watchlist for Summer 2024
It’s a bit smaller this time but that’s okay. I’m gonna try and catch up on all the dubs I want to watch.
Continuing series from the previous season:
That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime Season 3 (Crunchyroll)
Mission: Yozakura Family (Hulu)
Spice & Wolf: The Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf (Crunchyroll) (Started watching this in the middle of the previous season and forgot to add it to my previous watchlist post.)
New shows for this season:
Red Cat Ramen or Ramen Akaneko (Crunchyroll)
My Deer Friend Nokotan (Crunchyroll) (Favorite of the season)
The Elusive Samurai (Crunchyroll)
Other anime I’ve been watching:
Daily Lives of High School Boys (Crunchyroll) (Just finished. It was very stupid and funny.)
The Apothecary Diaries (Crunchyroll)
And will this be the season my wife and I finally finish Summer Time Rendering?!? Maybe! Once we finish Apothecary Diaries.
I will try to update this if we add any shows to our list. I won’t include any of the dubs I’m gonna check out because that should be it’s own post.
Okay, so while I was at the NSP concert (which was awesome by the way, I had a great time) a lot of people starting panicking because the Twitter office shut down and so I also panicked and changed my stuff here because I’ll probably use this as my primary social media account from here on out. So quick reintroduction:
My name is Will. Formerly getsu15. Everything I wrote in my previous pinned post is still true. All that changed was my name. Oh, and I’ll probably start promoting my Twitch channel on here more. So yeah. Should be neat.
Stream schedule for the week!
Tonight: Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe at 8:00 pm (CT)
Thursday: More Kirby at 8:00 pm (CT)
Very excited about this one! It’s one of my favorite Kirby games! Stay tuned!
yuzu sent them on an errand hehe
Planet Comicon 2024 Haul!!
So this year, we didn’t get as much art as we did last year. For two reasons: 1. We still haven’t hing up all of the art we got last year. 2. My wife and I are currently househunting so there’s not much point in hanging up more art. Anyway, I opted to get figures and other stuff instead!
First up we have figures of Mash Burnedead from Mashle: Magic and Muscles, Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z and, of course, Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. On top of them is a Mudkip Kirby keychain. My wife got one of Oddish Kirby. Those are our favorite Pokémon. We match!
Next up we have this galaxy cat t-shirt from Tee Turtle. It’s pretty neat. And finally,
This plushie of Porunga from Dragon Ball Z. It’s pretty cool. Hopes for next year (or at least Planet Anime later this year) is to find some Undead Unluck figures. Particularly of Fuuko and Andy. Had a great time.
AHHHHHHHHHH!!! THE MUSIC! THE CHARACTERS!! GANONDORF!!!!! I cannot wait for next month!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
New Kubo Art: The Original Gotei 13
And we are live!
Stream schedule for this week:
Tonight: Nothing! I’m taking the day off!
Thursday: Paper Mario or a one shot in another game at 7:30 pm (CT). We’ll see how I’m feeling.
My wife is the coolest. I turn 30 at the end of the month and as an early birthday present she made me a homemade plush of my favorite character from Bug Fables, Kabbu.
Here’s the character:
And here’s the plush she made:
HE’S SO SOFT AND HUGGABLE!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!! AND I LOVE MY WIFE! SHE’S THE BEST!!
