I try to stick to posting about stuff I like, which is mainly video games, manga/anime, music, and Aqours
sadly I doubt that kaguya-sama will get a fourth season. maybe this one-time special we're getting won't be the last? but Idk

the odds are just never very good for manga that have been over for a couple years

the great thing about playing new horizons from the beginning now is that there's a fair bit more to do in the game than there was at launch. by the time updates added Redd and gyroids originally, I did check them out for a bit, but I was tired of the game. with a new island though, I'm having fun

I installed the ps5 version of kiwami 2. man it's been so long since I played this, I did not remember most of the opening cutscenes at all. feels a little different from most yakuza games

youtube AI summaries are so embarrassing

"we will never die" came up on shuffle yesterday and for a moment I genuinely had deja vu of hearing american family insurance commercials in my car in 2012

“spatialize stereo” should never turn itself on, what’s the point of that

people have always used the internet to post idiotic thoughts or try to provoke people's anger just for the fun of it, I guess one reason I get more frustrated with it nowadays is probably just that algorithms are trying to feed this stuff to us every minute?

I saw someone on youtube doing a bit of anime dubbing just for fun, but they were using the subtitles as the script. and they did a good job at that, but it definitely demonstrated why dub scripts get rewritten

I didn’t actually post anything from my Apple Music rewind yesterday because honestly I didn’t immediately notice all the share buttons

how come we get a native ps5 version of red dead redemption 1 before red dead redemption 2

when all I knew was the title, I assumed K-Pop Demon Hunters was not going to be good. who would? when the reviews came out I was like, "oh nice, I'll watch it." but originally I thought it was like, "hey you know what's trendy? K-Pop. you know what else is popular? Demon Slayer. I've got an idea"

needing to click a button to see the volume slider is a stupid design decision imo. (I'm talking about the current mac version of apple music)

once again my apple music rewind is like "Yeah you've listened for about 20,000 minutes this year, your top artists are the ones who made several of your favorite albums which you've had on rotation all year—and also Aqours—your top songs are all from the same album"—it's just not that interesting.

while I will miss the inter-connected areas of Prime 1, I've been saying "we need more Ocarina of Time-likes" so that means I am honor-bound to play this game
Calling all Zelda fans who miss the traditional Ocarina of Time style: Play Metroid Prime 4!

Like Prime 2 and 3, it has more self-contained areas with key upgrades and great bosses. It's the closest thing in Nintendo's current lineup to the old style, and it does it very well.

when I realized broncos were playing SNF, I got nervous. seems like that feeling was not wrong. but hey, they survived in the end

can't wait to pay $7 to play this japanese train sim game with better performance on switch 2 (not joking)

reddit trying to market itself to a wider audience as a wholesome friendly place is especially funny when contrasted with the art subreddit mod drama I've been hearing about

wait I just noticed something about this steam update on macOS

social media algorithms suck (my bluesky homepage not using one makes it the most pleasant social media). I need to get in the habit of just reading manga all the time instead
November 26, 2025 at 6:04 PM
this is a pleasant surprise after there were no hints of an upgrade path in the initial announcement.

but, while $15 isn’t like a lot, I still see no reason to spend it. I haven’t heard anything good about the director‘s cut stuff

kiwami 2 free upgrade though? that’s what’s up

feels like for the last 5 or 6 chapters of dandadan I've been wanting to post "PEAK!!!" every time
November 24, 2025 at 4:53 PM
didn't expect a new sbemail to drop today. it's not even april fools day

Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever.

I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.
"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

fans can be so stupid that it gives me depression. fans of what? anything, really

I mean it's not like all fanbases are equally bad, but it just feels like no matter what it is, eventually someone will start being an idiot about something
