Favorite Summer Songs
Laura Cameron at The Well-Apportioned Desk is wrote a post titled Journal Prompt July. She decided to tackle July journal prompts compiled at the BaronFig blog in 2024. While I do not have a journal, this struck me as promising JulyReply material, so I looked at the five prompts she singled out as interesting examples and noted "What is your favorite summer song and why?" As I have noted in NLJ articles on the ending song in season one of The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten and my […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/favorite-summer-songs-07-12-26/

Teaching early teens how to create their own game assets for #VisualNovels (and #GameDev in general) and today we were talking about using layers to speed up art creation (alpha locking, filters on layer groups), to give characters different expressions, or even create variations with multiple colours without having to redraw the whole image every time. In talking about expressions we discussed icons and why adding two diagonal lines to an orcs face immediately makes them an angry orc.
We also talked about how you always want clear visual separation between your visual focus (the orc) and the background (the corridor), lowering saturation and making sure that there's a contrast between the edge of the focus object and the background even if it isn't "realistic" - i.e. why it wouldn't work to have the corridor fade to black if we want to use filled line art with black lines.
All after doing some thumbnail sketches to work out what the problems were in the first place. Not bad for an hours work! #krita #VisualDesign #IterativeImprovements

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 06-11-26
I missed Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday, but I am making sure to make up for it by starting this post yesterday. 1. Uzbek Fighters in Syria Face Tensions with Al-Sharaa’s Government (Jacob Zenn for Jamestown. June 9, 2026.) Whatever disagreements the various bands of foreign jihadists have, the Uzbek fighters have good reason to figure out a way to make it work. That reason? This incident can also serve as a reminder to Central Asian states to continue developing repatriation frameworks […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-06-11-26/

Video: A Defense of Visual Novels
I learned about an interesting YouTube video about visual novels titled A Defense of Visual Novels: What are They and What They Do Well through an email exchange with the creator. I have been collecting materials for a future article on making the most of the visual novel medium, so I can now add this in-depth video take to the collection. If you are interested in visual novels, the video comes with my recommendation. Below, I highlight a few points for emphasis. Zalor distinguished visual […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/video-a-defense-of-visual-novels-05-28-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-20-26
We are having a second consecutive 90+ degree day here in Brooklyn today's Pook-Emu Bee links are warmer than the outside temperatures. Links 1. Google Search as you know it is over (Sarah Perez for TechCrunch. May 19, 2026.) The AIfication of Google Search is concerning but NLJ has been hitting new highs in Google Search despite my disfavoring AI cawlers via .htaccess and robots, so we'll see if it has any effect on my numbers. 2. Japanese indie gay bar management sim Sodomy Fatale will […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-20-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-06-26
I missed publishing daily Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday due to a work deadline. But we are back today with nine new links from around the world wide web. 1. Famed Atheist Richard Dawkins — Author of ‘The God Delusion’ — Believes AI Is Conscious (Scott Pinsker for PJ Media. May 5, 2026.) My conscious brain is struggling to decide which of many possible one-liners to go with. Let us keep it simple and just say that I guess Mr. Dawkins is taking a leap of faith in the pages of UnHerd.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-30-26
Work did not allow for timely Pook-Emu Bee links, but today I return with nine new links from around the web. 1 Popular WordPress redirect plugin hid dormant backdoor for years (Bill Toulas for Bleeping Computer. April 29, 2026.) Not popular enough for me to have been using it (but do attend to the issue if you happen to be running Quick Page/Post Redirect on WordPress). 2. Waylay Callais! (Josh Blackman for The Volokh Conspiracy. April 30, 2026.) After much anticipation, the Supreme […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-30-26/

Schrödinger’s Ayatollah and Umineko: When They Cry
I read a cleverly-titled article by Amit Segal titled Schrödinger’s Ayatollah: Is Mojtaba Dead or Alive? The article examines the life status, or lack thereof, of Iran's purported Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. As I read the article, I found myself thinking about the iconic Japanese visual novel, Umineko: When They Cry. Then I found myself thinking about the best of its many great music tracks, Happiness of Marionette. Then I had Happiness of Marionette playing on loop in my head. I […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/schrodingers-ayatollah-and-umineko-04-26-26/

Some shameless self-promotion for my #otomegame #visualnovel blog here.
I want to implement content warning lists for audience with triggers, considering it’s a very niche hobby and lists like those aren’t really readily accessible. (Fortunately I do enjoy darker content so I use this shitty super power to help others, I guess.)
Apart from that I’ll also be doing reviews of mainly Japanese Otome titles I’ve played and I’m trying to focus on those that have been picked up for localisation into english, so people can get a feeling for the games before making a decision to buy.
If that sounds like something you enjoy, please pay me a visit. My husband also worked hard on some polling and rating plugins considering the Wordpress landscape is a lot of subscriptions … if you like the plug-ins stay tuned because my dear 3D husband plans on making them public in the future. ♥️

We have some bite sized introduction to #ink posts for writing #interactivefiction / #visualnovels up on YouTube and I’m hoping to do a few more next week. I’ll definitely be doing a follow on about conditions (the different comparison operators and “switch” statements) and I’ll probably also do a video version of this blog post.
If you’ve got requests or ideas for other focused mini-videos let me know commenting here or over at the IntFiction forums (intfiction.org/t/ink-introdu...)
