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

If we share interests, drop a follow!

More information on my Yumeship and interests below! 👇
Alright! It took basically all day at work but I updated my Trails Drip Tier Lists.

So let's start with Sky and Crossbell.

For this, it's going on Sky 2 and 3 since that's when most characters are added, but Estelle Sky 1 is an S, Joshua Sky 1 is an A.

Code Vein 2 has possibly one of the most insane scenes I have ever seen in a game.

I was sitting here mouth agape for this entire scene.

This game is fucking cinema.

Good story, bad gameplay.

Obviously if the game is so bad that I can't even enjoy the story that's different, but I can accept pretty bad gameplay as long as I am enjoying the plot.
What do you pick?? 🤔

To go off of this, my RGG tier list.

Yeah... I somehow doubt that YK3 is gonna be on Y5 levels.
February 9, 2026 at 7:49 PM
It really is interesting seeing people say that YK3 is going to be worse than base Y3 because like...

Yeah, I guess that's possible, but boy howdy it would almost be impressive if that were the case because IMO it's the second worst game in the series.

So I'll play, and be impressed either way. 😂

Made a Tier list for how likely I think it is that previously playable characters will return in Horizon 2.

Some of this is based on characters already in Horizon 1 / information presented in Horizon 1 so for those who haven't caught up, maybe ignore this for now to stay spoiler free 😎
February 9, 2026 at 3:33 PM
Had a dream last night that Horizon 2 was out and Claire was in it.

It's not going to actually happen, but I am glad my brain has provided the content Falcom won't.

That said, I'm gonna do a "How likely are previous playable characters to show up in Horizon 2" tier list now, I think. 😅
February 9, 2026 at 2:11 PM
So I think I played Code Vein 2 VERY out of the intended order 😅

To be fair, they do let you go wherever you want from the start, but I am only just now getting explanations for things I have already done and experienced.
February 8, 2026 at 10:09 PM
Definitely my favorite character in Code Vein 2 so far, but the main characters have all been great 🙂‍↕️
February 8, 2026 at 8:39 PM
Code Vein 2 has been so peak man 🥹

I'm really enjoying this game so far. It has some bigger issues (mostly the things it takes inspiration from ER with) but the story and characters have been so on point so far.
February 8, 2026 at 4:23 AM
Gotta catch em all but if they are all you and you are all them.
So this plumber eats mushrooms to fight evil turtles to rescue a princess.
February 8, 2026 at 1:20 AM
Man, playing 2 Souls likes at the same time was a bad idea. Just the difference in control schemes every time I switch from one to the other has my brain turning into a pretzel 😵‍💫

Still, Code Vein 2 is awesome, And I'm enjoying playing Nioh 3 coop but I don't think I'd be having fun solo.
February 7, 2026 at 9:11 PM
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.
February 7, 2026 at 3:35 AM
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.
February 7, 2026 at 1:53 AM
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!
February 7, 2026 at 12:03 AM
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. 😅
February 6, 2026 at 9:20 PM
Still the best game I have ever played. I love it to death.
February 6, 2026 at 8:20 PM
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
February 6, 2026 at 7:07 PM
Playing Code Vein 2 and uh...

Looking respectfully 👀
February 6, 2026 at 3:22 AM
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.
February 6, 2026 at 1:30 AM
So I'm guessing nothing interesting came from that Nintendo Direct because I have seen literally nothing about it today 😅
February 5, 2026 at 10:41 PM
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 😅
February 5, 2026 at 3:22 AM
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. 😔
