I feel like the type of characters I'm drawn to hasn't changed much over the years. However, as I've grown older, I've come to value kindness much more deeply.
I generally only play the routes I like. However, if the story is interesting and I want to explore it more deeply, or if there are characters that can only be unlocked after clearing other routes, then I play all of the routes.
I do think there's something special about playing a game blind for the first time, but I've been using a guide because I'd like to get the good ending.
I love happy endings where the characters overcome hardship and reach a grand, satisfying conclusion. But if both sides can truly feel happy with the outcome, I'm also completely fine with a cruel or bittersweet happy ending.
I'm currently using EarPods.
My favorite wireless earbuds started acting up, so I bought a new pair of EarPods for the first time in a while, and honestly, the sound quality for this price is unbelievably good!
The cable is a bit annoying though, so I'm thinking about getting the SOUNDPEATS...
