STOVE

May 5th, Children's Day.

This day is one that all children look forward to.

It's my little sister, Bosong's birthday.

If we were to express it in fluffy terms, we could say it's a fluffy day.

As is always the case with people born on anniversaries,

I didn't give separate gifts for Children's Day and birthdays.

Instead, I give them meat for all three meals. I also give them snacks.

I chose a fairly expensive gift and gave it to him.

This is the best I can do.

I do that because I find it admirable that he causes trouble but doesn't feel bad about it.

If only my mind was a little more sane, that would be nice.

anyhow.

Children's Day comes again this May without fail.

This May 5th is in the middle of a weekday, so it might be difficult to prepare in advance the day before.

Then, I have to go out and buy something in advance the weekend before.

Now, little by little, there are no more gifts to give.

Last year it was game consoles and game chips.

Last year too, it was a game console and game chips.

And the year before last, it was game consoles and game chips.

If I do the same thing this year, there's nothing more worth buying.

I haven't bought you the Happy Box or anything yet, because it's for assassination.

If you just let it slide, I'll get really angry.

I once gave a dress to someone I didn't have money for in the past, after writing it down in a cardboard box.

I got hit with a flying fluffy kick that was so strong that not a single dust particle came out.

My aunt also didn't stop me, saying that I was doing the right thing.

So the conclusion is.

“A gift that a girl would like?”

I asked people around me.

Of course, I don't mean going to each and every one of them and asking.

It's something I did on the side during my regular routine of visiting the sick.

My time is precious too.

The person I asked was Mina. She is my childhood friend whom I have known for over 10 years.

He has been unwell since birth and is currently hospitalized.

So, I may not know what my peers around me would like.

When I saw it, it seemed pretty believable.

Because Bosong and Mina have a lot in common.

For example.

“I give you money!”

There's something about that that makes me really curious about what's going on inside your head.

I definitely didn't ask what gift to give to Mina,

I asked what girls like.

By the way, I want to receive money this year.

Mina's birthday is also in summer, so let's remember it.

“I’m going to give it to my little sister.”

“But wouldn’t money be enough?”

Well, maybe it would be better to just tell them to buy what they want.

But I don't feel like just giving it away. Should I make a bouquet of flowers out of banknotes?

A bouquet of flowers for my little sister. Why me? I ask myself.

But the envelope isn't cool.

“Is that a little true? Well, even if you have money, you might not have anything to buy around you.”

"ah."

I didn't think of that.

Sure, it could be true since we live in a pretty remote place.

It's not like Bosong is the type of person who likes to go out.

“Clothes? Cosmetics? Oh, but since you’re an elementary school student, cosmetics might be a bit much.”

“Ugh.”

Mina was seriously thinking about what I was saying, even groaning.

And not long after that.

“Give up! I don’t know!! I thought about it a lot and now I’m hungry!!!”

“Do you understand, Unnie Chunja?”

“I don’t know the tastes of a child less than half my age.”

He declared his surrender proudly. Then there's nothing we can do.

I couldn't remember it either, so I don't plan on criticizing others for not being able to remember it.

"Sorry!"

“No, thanks for helping me.”

“But let me tell you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“I think any gift you give me would be good.”

As she said that, Mina had a big smile on her face.

And then.

“Then I would like to be compensated for the time I spent.”

“Okay. Do you need anything?”

“Haha. Of course.”

“My gift, please give me an MP3.”

Just now you said anything was fine, Mina.

“I want to listen to some music.”

“Should I give you the radio at home?”

It's a model that even lets you insert a CD.

“Oh, I had that, but it was stolen.”

"why?"

“Some strange person got angry...”

“Weird guy? Why on earth?”

For a child who is already feeling unwell, and for a child who finds hospital life very boring.

Why on earth did he get angry?

Even I, who listen to this, get angry.

“I was bored at 4 in the morning, so I just listened to some rock ballads.”

“What song?”

"thorn."

"oh."

“I think I sing well.”

With the right song selection, you even sang passionately. Oh my gosh.

Bosong also played the melodeon at 4 in the morning.

Because the door was locked, I couldn't stop it. I really couldn't hit it.

And that morning.

“Oppa! Thief! There must have been a thief!”

“Who is knocking on my door in the middle of the night..!!”

“Brother, why are you touching my face? I’m not hurt.”

“Why is the ball squealing!!!”

After that, I put the melody in a high place out of reach.

As expected, my eye for people is accurate. The two of you have similar points.

“Next time, try lowering your voice.”

“Oh, so you weren’t one to accept the female vocal version?”

Now that I think I've heard enough answers, it's time to play with Mina.

After having a small talk with Mina about what the problem might have been, I returned home.

And that night.

I realized that anything is the hardest order.

Mina's answer was ultimately of no help.

As the days passed and I arrived at school, I still had a hard time making a decision.

What should I do? If I just gloss over it, he'll be quite angry.

In a house where there are only two of us, I don't want things to become bleak.

As I was thinking about it, the bell signaling lunch time rang.

I got up from my seat as usual and headed to the library.

And the moment I was about to open the library door.

"ah."

"ah."

At the same time, I grabbed the handle with a girl. She was a girl I often saw in the library.

I don't know the name. I glanced at the name tag. Now I know. It's An So-mi.

I had a hard time seeing the name tag because I was wearing a cardigan over my uniform.

By the way, isn't that cardigan a little big?

It looks like it's about a size too big. Maybe it's an inherited piece of clothing.

The loose wrist part of the cardigan strangely catches the eye, covering half of the hand.

Cardigan, it's a better piece of clothing than I thought.

“Where did you buy those clothes?”
“... ...?”

In response to my question, Somi looked around.

And then he looks me in the eye again. No, he looks down.

“I, I, don’t know...”

He spoke in a very small voice, almost too small to be heard.

So I couldn't hear it well.

“What? Say it one more time.”

“Mom, mom, I don’t know, la...”

“Just one last time.”

“Mo, uh, ra, ah...”

“A little more force!”

“... ...”

Ah. It's broken. We just met.

Like a broken machine, Somi trembled and turned her back on me and tried to run away.

However, the hallway was more slippery than I thought, so I fell before I could get very far.

I feel sick.

“...Ah.”

"are you okay?"

I tried to approach Somi, who had fallen, and ask if she was okay.

But when something caught my eye, I couldn't help but reach out to Somi as if I was possessed.

“Uh, uh, ah?”

The hand extended towards Somi.

“Oh, you’re not hurt, are you?”

It passed right past Somi's face and reached her back.

And after grabbing something, he used force to snap it off.

It was a taxi.

“Because this is attached.”

"...uh?"

Oh, luckily I know this store.

The price isn't bad either.

“I took it off without permission...”

Before I could even say anything.

“Waaaaaaah!!”

This time, Somi didn't fall and ran away successfully.

It was so fast that it had already disappeared from sight.

Somi, Somi. Let's remember that. I'll have to bring you a drink later.

Of course, I couldn't meet Somi after that.

“Heeeeeeeeee!!”

Even if we meet, he's busy running away as soon as he sees me.

Until I graduated from middle school, this was the first and last time we had a conversation.

Still, thanks to you.

“Now, a present.”

“Thank you, brother! What is this?”

"cardigan."

“Cardigan? Was there such a game?”

"clothes."

“Aha. This time it’s not a game?”

“You don’t like it?”

“...No! My brother is the best!”

I was able to get through Children's Day safely.

“But this is a little big for me. It’s loose.”

“That’s good.”

“Oh. Definitely. I’m cute.”

“I’ll buy you something better next time.”

“Then buy me headphones!”

And I realized that there is a good way to do this: ask in advance.

“Auntie, she’ll be here soon too.”

“Wow! Aunt Angja too?”

“Oh. It’s been a while since the whole family got together to eat.”

Yes, I was able to spend this Children's Day safely.

The second official trailer for GTA6 has been released

The trailer views are also huge, as it is expected to have about 59 million+@ views in just 18 hours since its posting.

Korean subtitles are also supported on the Rockstar Games channel, but Rockstar Korea adds subtitles to the video so you can watch it more naturally.

Even as I'm writing this, the number of views is increasing in real time by the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. When I refreshed, it was 60.3 million;

good luck

Hello! I'm Stove Crew's first generation Bbang Minhyuk~~

Everyone!! The holidays are really long~~!!

What games are you guys playing these days?

This is a game that I often see on real-time search!

Claire Obscure: Playing Expedition 33 !!

It was so fun that I had to review it, but I ended up just playing the game…

I think this review was more sincere because I liked it!!

Then, the debut game from French startup Sandfall Interactive,

Claire Obscure: Let's start the review of Expedition 33 .

The basic specs of the game are as follows:

Today too! For those of you who don't have time or don't like writing! I made a video in the style of Bbang Minhyuk !

But today I made it with a serious feeling, so please take note~~

Also, for those of you reading, I brought you the Claire Obscur: 33 Expedition OST Collection !

Wouldn't it be more immersive if you read while listening~~??

Let me tell you a little bit about the hidden story of the game . The main character, Gustav ,

It has the same name as the person who designed the Eiffel Tower , a landmark representing Paris, France.

The Eiffel Tower also appears in the game.

Also, the title of the game, 'Claire Obscur', means chiaroscuro in French .

Chiaroscuro is a technique for expressing the relationship between light and dark of an object depicted by light on the screen.

In other words, it conveys the contrast between bright and colorful things and dark things.

This game gave me that same feeling.

One day, a giant painter named Paintless appeared.

This being would wake up once a year and erase the numbers written on the obelisk one by one.

All people whose age matches that number will turn into smoke and disappear.

This number has been decreasing over the years and is now at 33.

To prevent this tragedy, people organized an expedition to confront Paintless.

The game's story begins when the 33rd expedition sets out to rescue Lumiere.

The basic gameplay follows a turn-based system , but it has some unique features unique to the '33 Expedition'.

Typical turn-based games stick to so-called passive play , where players and enemies take turns attacking.

'Expedition 33' broke this mold and introduced an active turn-based system .

Why Active? Combat is basically a QTE system with parrying and evasion .

What is the QTE system?

Short for Quick Time Event, when you are instructed to press a specific button within a limited time,

This means that you just have to press the corresponding button at the right time.

By pressing the button at the right time like this, you can deal increased damage or avoid attacks.

Another fun element was that it wasn't boring because each attack and skill had a different QTE timing.

And there is also a secondary attack method called shooting .

Shooting can be used multiple times in one turn as long as you have AP, and you can aim to attack your opponent's weak points .

Next are evasion, parrying, and jumping.

You can dodge or parry depending on the timing of the enemies' attacks.

Evasion with ample judgment timing is reliable when dealing with enemies whose patterns are unfamiliar .

On the other hand, parrying requires precise timing.

If you know the timing, you can unleash a powerful counter attack without taking damage from the enemy.

Finally, jumping only works in special cases where you can neither dodge nor parry, but you can still attack after jumping.

In other words, this is an active system where the outcome of a battle changes depending on the player's skill level.

As you level up, you will gain stat and skill points, which you can freely distribute to suit your taste.

But don't worry too much.

Because you can reset it at any time using the stat reset item .

There is another system here that you may find confusing: the equipment system.

Equipment is largely composed of weapons, pictos, and luminas.

Weapons follow the same system as other games.

However, Pictos and Lumina have their own unique systems that are unique to the '33 Expedition'.

First, Pictos is a kind of rune system where each character can equip up to three of them .

Pictos provides abilities that help you in battle, such as increasing your stats or giving special effects to your skills.

Yes, but the most important feature remains!

If you win a certain number of battles while equipped with Pictos, it will change to 'Lumina'.

The abilities of Pictos, which were previously only available to characters equipped by consuming Luminar Points, can now be shared among team members .

In short, it is a system that allows you to share the effects separately without having to wear the equipment.

You can customize your character to your taste by combining Luminas in various routes within the limited Luminas Points.

The background graphics that I really wanted to talk about while playing the game were so amazing that it was hard to express in words.

The OST and BGM that are just so enchanting to listen to were a bonus. Are you listening to the OSTs I recommended at the beginning?

Isn't it really great!!

And since the game's difficulty can be chosen from easy, normal, and hard, it would be good to start at a level that suits your skill level.

Actually, I think it is different depending on the difficulty level,

The play time is basically 30 hours for the main story, and if you do everything, it can be over 60 hours.

So the good thing about the game that I felt was

The fact that parrying can be added to turn-based games so that the difference in specs can be compensated for with skill .

It was the absurd freedom that stimulated a sense of adventure .

But there was one thing that was equally disappointing .

There was a minimap on the world map, but once you entered the stage, there was no minimap , so it was difficult to get lost often .

But it didn't really feel like a disadvantage because it felt like an adventure.

Some say that the emergence of this game gave birth to a genre called turn-based souls-like.

This makes me realize how popular the game 'Claire Obscure: The 33rd Expedition' is.

So I thought it was a game that fit the description of 'the emergence of a new genre'.

This was the review of 'Claire Obscure: Expedition 33'.

6 points out of 5...!!

thank you!

It's a bit bland, so how about having a drink with the event?
