Heya friends! I'm Cirkus! I'm a Trails Yumeshipper with Claire Rieveldt, a writer, a gamer, an anime-watcher, a metalhead, and a coffee connoisseur! I figured it was time for a new #Promosky

I wanna say, I really do appreciate you guys.
It always brightens my mood to pop over here and see you all gushing about whatever you happen to be gushing about.
It's a weird thing where none of us really know each other, but we're all here together as a community and it's so warm and lovely.

Friend bought Nioh 3 for us to coop and I made my character look like me...
And it's really funny to see all of these Japanese dudes looking at the whitest man to ever exist and telling him that he is going to be the shogun.

Took a while but I finally updated my Trails characters Tier List after Horizon!
Probably gonna be making a drip tier list for Horizon and a S-Craft one, but for now... the whole series characters! GO!

Apparently one of my favorite moots blocked me the other day.
Originally I was pretty saddened by this, but then realized they did so right after my post about Alone in the Dark and I'm now just perplexed and kind of amused at the thought that they may be the single fan of that game. 😅

Still the best game I have ever played. I love it to death.

Okay, I don't think making a BG3 show was the way to go but it's probably best Larian isn't involved if it is going to be a thing because they decided to go whole hog on Gen AI so like...
HBO and Craig Mazin are adapting Baldur's Gate 3 for TV to continue the game's story, but developer Larian Studios is seemingly not involved. gameinformer.com/2026/02/06/h...

Finally watched the Kyoto Xanadu trailer.
Gotta say I'm not big on the gameplay changes. I loved the original so much because of how the gameplay reminded me of Dark Cloud. Now it's kinda just another Metroidvania which is a genre I don't love.
Curious if it will be dubbed though since Tokyo wasnt

Finally finished the last few seasons of MHA!
While it's not without issues, it was still fucking peak!
I love this show and I'm curious if we'll get a sequel given the final shot.
Anyway, my tier list of the characters by the end.

So I'm guessing nothing interesting came from that Nintendo Direct because I have seen literally nothing about it today 😅

I'm having a ton of fun with Code Vein 2 so far
It's clear that it takes a lot of inspiration from Elden Ring compared to the first game taking inspiration from Dark Souls, but where I think CV1 did Dark Souls slightly worse, I think CV2 does Elden Ring better 😅

Still watching MHA. Almost done with Season 7.
And man Toga is the only LoV member they have completely missed the mark on IMO.
I can understand why Shigaraki and Dabi went insane. I get why Spinner and Twice were how they were.
But Toga is just a weird cast that falls flat for me. 😔

This is, without hyperbole, the worst game I have ever played in my life.
To say it "functions" is like saying glass is edible. Like yeah technically, but not really.

Would you believe the second half of season 7 ruined it? 😅
One of my biggest problems with Anime is that sometimes the openings/credits don't match the tone of the show at all. Bleach is VERY guilty of this.
A lot of MHAs are like that too.
But God damn the ones for season 7 are immaculate.

I keep seeing that "is the writing actually bad" thing going around and it really annoys me because it seems to downplay criticism as "you just went in with the wrong expectations"
Or maybe the writing is actually not great? I don't like that we're putting the onus on the viewer implicitly.

With Horizon done, here's my Trails games tier list.
Working on the character list now and will probably do some other fun tier lists too. But I've been busy with Code Vein 😅

It's going to be really funny if the project Falcom is apparently announcing is like... Popful Mall 2 instead of Horizon 2, Xanadu 2, or Ys 11.

Well... I made my OC's Horizon design 😅

Starting the 30 Day challenge Eri made!
Apparently challenge number 1 was figuring out which template to use 😅
But having just finished Horizon, I decided this one was most fitting.
