i noticed I ended up mostly playing 2d games on my switch. A lot of them are metroidvanias or simply just retro styled games. I liked Alwa's Awakening, Celeste, Cathedral, The Messenger, Bloodstained series, Astalon: Tears of the Earth, and Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider. Not sure if these are to anyone's liking but I hope maybe these could be some fun games to try.

I at a JPLT level 3 but speak and listen at a JPLT lvl 4. Doesn't help that even though I'm part Japanese, I don't know any other Japanese other than my nan. If you're 100% serious about learning Japanese, don't hesitate to reply to this or follow the Discord on my Profile Page. I'll try to check this a little more often but can't promise anything.

So bad news, me! It turns out the author is unfortunately hostile towards any genuine criticism about his overuse of said 'sex jokes.' I got a chance to read a chapter in the Fire Force manga in which Atsushi Ohkubo addresses in a passive aggressive manner his distain for any person who even remotely brings up Tamaki being constantly sexually abused by both protagonist and antagonist alike. The issue isn't because of generalized fan service, but how the character is treated overall by the story especially when it conflicts with the tone of a specific scene. Tamaki is a main character and she has potential to be as great as other members of the Fire Force team like with Maki Oze! The problem stems from the overuse of her being stripped and beaten down badly in a battle while the other hero characters stand idle saying commentary about how "Lucky" she is for having this happen to her. The dynamic is different from Blair from Soul Eater because in that series Blair is shown to be in control of her situation. She is actively seeking the sexual advances as well as not being integrated with any serious story moments. Tamaki as far as we're shown doesn't appear to ever be in control of a fight and it certainly creates a poor optic for the protagonists to appear like they're trying to cop a feel on a vulnerable woman in her time of need. Atsushi Ohkubo is a great author and deserves respect when he chooses to tell powerful narratives. I don't fully dislike his general sense of humor either. However he has sadly shown a rather tumultuous and glaring flaw in how he takes criticism and his choice of words could have been better. It's understandable that as a writer he takes great pride in his work and more than likely there's been unfair or unreasonable remarks made regarding his crass jokes. I will take umbrage with how he seems to refer to real-life people as being "unique body types that don't deserve to be heard because they didn't earn the right to be accepted" by him or something to that effect. Like dude! Seriously chill my guy. For a man all about humor he certainly has little patience for humoring others' points of view, jeez.

I never planned it. Honestly I just cower behind the strong/experienced people until by some miracle I can scrape by. Anddd I'm still in the cowering phase. I have like two whole god damn pieces, revised, edited, I think they're alright at the least, but never could I find the strength to do it myself.
