414 - Happy New Year!
🕑 Added 2026-01-05 16:31:05 +0000 UTCHELLO and welcome to the Monday issue of AKABUR WEEKLY — your only trustworthy source of news about all things Akabur. (Sometimes, when the stars align, I even discuss my work here! Imagine that! XD)
FIRST THINGS FIRST. Last week we had a serious conversation in the comment section, prompted by my question. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared their opinions. After going through all your feedback, here’s the conclusion I came to: during the first playthrough, the majority of you would prefer to fly blind. In New Game+, however, you’d like the option to switch hints ON or OFF. So, that’s how I plan to do this. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
THE PIN. According to MrLazare, everyone has received their pins by now. There were literally zero cases of mail getting lost. That’s good news. Again, a huge thank you to MrLazare for not only creating the pin, but also spending his time sending them out to those of you who wanted one!
RG35XXSP. (GOOD NEWS!) The good news is that I’ve received my console, and it turned out to be way more fun than I expected. It’s perfect for running GBA and PS1 games, it’s super portable, and it’s self-protecting (thanks to the clamshell design). Carrying it around in my pocket with a game of The Urbz suspended—knowing that I could whip it out at any second and jump right back into the game—felt so nice. :)
RG35XXSP (BAD NEWS…). I think the unit I received had a faulty SD card slot. I can’t be 100% sure, but the bottom line is that I couldn’t install custom firmware. I spent two days trying different SD cards and tutorials, with no luck. The process itself is extremely straightforward, but the console refused to recognize any card except the cheap knockoff it shipped with. Even after flashing the stock firmware from the Anbernic website to a good SanDisk card, it still wouldn’t recognize it. That meant being stuck with a cheap SD card that would eventually fail, leaving me with a bricked console. So I made the difficult decision to pack it up and send it back. A few days later, I got my refund and ordered another one. Now all I can do is wait and hope the new unit works as intended. -_-
MORE GOOD NEWS! The fan replacements for my laptop were delivered yesterday! After I finish writing this post, I plan to back up my files (just in case), open up my laptop again, replace the thermal paste, and install the new fans. Can’t wait! This really feels like I’m giving my laptop a new life. Very happy about it XD
THE GALLERY (THE SHOP). I’ve been a good boy and even found the time to add another new item to the shop. Go check out the “Parry Hotter 3” illustration. It’s another oldie but goldie, if I can say so myself. :)
SNOWBREAK. During this year’s New Year celebration, the mother of one of the girls who joined the story recently (Clarina) showed up. During the conversation, the main character casually flashed his six wedding rings, to which the girl’s mother replied: “I trust that you’ll take good care of my daughter too, won’t you?” Ha-ha-ha. I love this game so much XD
THE WORK. I’m happy to report that I’ve had another productive week. I even had a chance to do a bit of drawing—something that always lifts my spirits ^_^ And that’s all I’ll be saying. Business as usual here in the forge (for now). Reporter Trainer coming soon*
THIS WAS all the news for today’s issue of the AKABUR GAZETTE. I’ll see you all next week. Thank you for your support, and Happy New Year! Laterz!

Thanks. Yeah, I am stuck in my ways and don't think will ever change. Thank you for your support. I am doing my best to make sure spending time with the skatergirl hits you in the feels and makes you laugh while feeling horny. You know, the usual stuff you'd expect from my games :) But of course, we will see how the final product turns out. Soon*
AKAMAN
Yes you should be jealous. It's absolutely amazing for running GBA and PS1 games. And it's not that expensive. :) As for the pencils, that's just the circle of life :)
AKAMAN
No u

Happy New Year, MANITU!
AKAMAN
I hope so too. Still waiting for it to be delivered T_T As for your pin, I'm sure you can still do it if you speak to MrLazare directly. As for Witch Trainer 2, maybe one day...
AKAMAN
Yeah, obviously we can't get big corporation quality with these, but I am still super happy so many handheld gaming devices are being created lately. :)
AKAMAN
Yeah. Skatergirl looks super cute there XD
AKAMAN
Yes and yes. And Reporter Trainer coming soooooon -_-
AKAMAN
Thank you. I am just glad you like my work. You can always support me later when you become filthy rich. ^_^
MrLazare
Thank you for your feedback!

Akabro please, you can't tease me with sk8r girl like that. She's lethal XD It's comforting to know in a world going mad, you're a bastion of good taste and fine art.

Received my pin and sticker few days ago. Simply amazing, I love them.
Nikraria
Dude, you're still killing those pencils T_T I'm very jealous about that console by the way. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Akabur!

Oh man, I hope your new RG35XXSP will work just fine, it looks like a great little console. I am now in shambles as I didn't reach out to MrLazare in time to secure the pin, one day... Recently I've been replaying Witch Trainer, it is still peak. (Witch Trainer 2 will always live in my heart.) Anyway, happy new year! And I love the chibi in the title, ultra cute!
Trevor Bond
Yeah, online electronics can be such a gamble. I hope the next one comes in and works right as rain, looks like a fun system! And Happy New Year!
Telsa
Love the chibi in the title post.
DeadMan
That's the fun of ordering on the net. As for the work, any progress is good progress.

Akabur, I may not be in a spot to financially support right now but I just want to say thank you for letting us still see these. I enjoy the weekly posts a lot! :D
