I have thought about this for a long time, and I worked for it about equally as long.
So, I decided to bring back forums for this website - the ManiBoard!
This was first introduced way back in 2000, and it was on and offline for some time.
The forums themselves were always kind of successful - not too big, not too small.
These days, however, forums are on the verge of dying, so it seems. Most people spend their time in social media, may it be Discord, Twitter, Reddit, or even Facebook or Instagram gaming communites.
I don't know how successful new ManiBoard can be given these prerequisites, but I think there are some reasons for forums to still exist.
First of all, forums can be read in the public. It is great to find out about the topics people talk about without needing an account - something that social media always likes to have.
Secondly, I think it's good to have a community that doesn't track you, doesn't want to sell your data or make a profile about your online behavior. Maniboard doesn't do anything like this. It's just a platform for you to talk about games or your private life, if you like to.
So feel free to register. Just click on "Interact" in the menu, click ManiBoard and sign up!

I really like this artwork that has been published about Square Enix' Harvest-Moon-like game.
So I prepared some wallpapers that have been created using the official assets.

Today I added some artwork for Harvestella, a newly announced game by Square Enix.
It's said to come out on the Switch and it looks like to be a game in the style of Rune Factory / Harvest Moon. It certainly looks promising to me, and the artwork looks especially nice.
You can check it out here in our art gallery.

I really love my hobby, and I also love playing Japanese RPGs.
But sometimes, things are a little off. Characters that are presented in a female style are exploited, and sometimes mistreated.
I collected some examples and put them into a new report: Love and RPGs: The ugly side.
I hope scenes like the ones described in the report will decrease and eventually vanish from great games in the future. It's so unneccessary.

Now that I finished the game, you can check out our new Tales of Vesperia review! I really liked the game, but as you might notice, the rating is a bit lower than even our review of Tales of Symphonia. You can find out the reasons why in our review.
You can also check out the Tales of Vesperia screenshot gallery, which basically covers my whole playthrough. Be warned of though!
