Got this new schoolboy character who I doubt I'll use much.
And then this American special forces guy just joins the team for some reason. My wacky theory is that he's the past version of the main character.

Apparently the kung fu guy is one of the good Slitterheads. So we have good and evil factions now.

In case you're wondering whether Slitterhead is a Siren game, it has both Sightjacking and a time loop.
It's way more explicit about the timeloop as well, maybe too straightforward.

Slitterhead starts off strong with Akira Yamaoka music over a view of what I'm assuming is Hong Kong.
Main character is some kind of ghost with possession powers.
Possessing the dog made me wonder as the Chinese characters behind the title name a dog monster.

I honestly don't care whether this is real or not, even if it's a bit it's a good bit

I think I'm going to start Slitterhead tonight.
I've heard it's basically a new Siren game, and as a big fan of Siren 1, this makes me very excited for interesting, janky horror weirdness.

Watched It Was Just an Accident. It was a reasonably effective thriller, except when it devolved into polemical speeches which took me out of the movie. A bit more subtlety would have made this a stronger movie for me.

Blue Prince status so far (minor spoilers)
Reached the Antechamber once, couldn't progress further.
Opened the West gate and apple orchard
Found the basement
Worked out how to use the double painting clues, but I haven't solved it all yet.

Watched F1: The Movie. It was a fine sports movie, reasonably entertaining throughout as a non-F1 fan, but nothing special.

I don't know why it is on the Best Picture nominees list over movies like Wake Up Dead Man and No Other Choice. Anyway, just one nominee left for me to watch.

1 - (#251) Fate/Samurai Remnant + DLC
Great story choices, especially the NG+ ending. Unfortunately, the combat got boring before the end, making the DLCs (which aren't bad stories) a slog. I wanted to give this game a higher rating.

Played a few more hours of Banishers and I'm not feeling it. I find it quite dull, and feel like the investigations are just going to be following map markers for 20 hours.
So I'm retiring the #VABanishers playthrough.
I might post a bit about Blue Prince, but likely no daily game posts this month.

Starting Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. Expectations set based on Vampyr, which I liked for its story and fun kill/spare gimmick, and put up with its bad combat.
I absolutely love the title screen.

Back on the final route and happy to see some big changes in Chapter 5.
Pretty clear that we're on track for a (somewhat at least) happy ending.

Crossing a few games off my list that I'm unlikely to get around to platinum-ing.
Tchia - cute game, fun story, but not enthused to go around for all the collectibles.

Slay the Spire - Excellent. Finally played it last year. The final few Ascensions were a bit too rough for me to finish.

I was kind of surprised at how little the story changes between Chapter 3 and the end of Chapter 7 on different routes.
It's a shame, given that the choices determining the ending come so early, and I would love to see more of characters like Libra and Aries.

OK, let's go for the other two endings. Starting with this misleading choice.
The only clue here seems to be one hint earlier in the convo that Taurus wants you to go all in on your plan.
And of course, by picking the first option, she gives up.

Finished Dragon Quest 1 HD Remake. I had a good time with its mix of old school jank and modern quality of life improvements.
It has that interesting feeling of something that invented all of the cliches, so you see every move coming, but you know they probably did it first.

Watched Marty Supreme. I had a good time, but its not quite on the level of Uncut Gems. Felt a bit disjointed, and I probably need some more time to process the ending.

Watched Train Dreams on Netflix. It's very slow, but I found it to be an engaging and thoughtful film, dealing with themes of finding meaning and contentment in a meaningless world.
