That's gorgeous. Sometimes I get tempted to buy books I have no interest in, simply because of an eye-catching cover. Case in point, I've never played the Rival Schools games, yet I'm buying myself this artbook because I just want to touch that cover. Is that weird?

I usually hate Reddit, but this is giving me such piece of mind right now. My emotions have been all over the place the last few weeks that I almost wanted to cry at several points. Finally decided to talk to a doctor about the shit I've been dealing with. Prednisone is the worst fucking thing ever.

After rewatching both this last week, I have no issue in saying that Corpse Bride is a FAR better film than Nightmare Before Christmas. That ending gets me every time. What a beautiful film.

I'll get this fucking video out before Halloween if It kills me.

Wow. I was not expecting to love that as much as I did. Fantastic art and animation, fun puzzles, and one of the best stories I've experienced in recent memory. Don't want to spoil it, but I was nearly tearing up by the end. A solid 8/10. May have to properly review this. #byesweetcarole

I can't believe that in 2025, I'm actually looking up MP3 Players. The Internet is fucked to the point where all I want to do is put my *Legally Acquired* music on an MP3 player just so I don't have to be online. Thinking of buying an offline Toaster and Washing Machine too if this shit keeps up.

Going to see 'One Battle After Another' tonight. Haven't been this hyped for a film in a long time.

If there's one thing I miss about the late 90's/ early 2000's, it's all the great Cartoon Network shows being broadcast at the time. Takes me back to an easier era. Before social media had warped everyone's minds. People knew how to communicate with each other. Everyone wasn't glued to their phones.

Finished Silent Hill F. My thoughts are all over the place. Cool story. Interesting setting. Clunky, repetitive combat. Very little enemy variety. Some clever Puzzles. Need to think more on it, but I'd struggle to give it anymore than a 7/10. Certainly don't recommend picking it up at full price.

Great week to be broke. 🙄

I feel like I've been talking to a wall every time I've said this over the last 15 years, but Final Fantasy Tactics IS a masterpiece and has the best story of the entire series. I hope Square added some accessibility options with this release, so that everyone can enjoy its incredible narrative.

So no one is going to mention that 'Legacy of Kain Defiance' released for the PS4, PS5 today? Just me?...OK. #legacyofkain

Ok, so I made it to the High Halls Arena, and for the sake of my own sanity, I think I'm going to leave Silksong here. I don't think I've ever played a more poorly balanced, time wasting, unfair piece of crap in my life. It's like a souls game without any of the mechanics that made those games fair.

That was a great boss fight. I love Silksong...I also hate it and I need it to stop PISSING ME OFF CONSTANTLY.

Just a piece of advice to anyone who occasionally deals with depression. Get this book. It managed to pull me out of a really dark hole i found myself recently. It's hard to explain, but it's like finding a religion that makes sense to you. It will totally change how you view life.

Don't know if Mark Brown will see this, but Mind over Magnet has SERIOUS performance issues on Switch 2. In fact, there was a patch this morning that I'm sure made performance even worse somehow. I like the game well enough, but this really isn't acceptable for a game with such simplistic visuals.

I really wanted to love Donkey Kong Bananza, but it's boring me to tears at this point. I truly don't understand where the perfect scores are coming from. It's monotonous to the point of insanity. 🤪 It feels like all I've been doing for the last dozen hours is mashing Y to smash stuff. I dont get it

Well, I didn't get the job I desperately wanted, so as promised, I bought myself a Switch 2. I just find that when life gets you down, instead of dwelling on it and getting upset, just buy yourself cool shit. It's almost like you're saying "fuck you" to the universe...hope that doesn't sound crazy.

So after decades of people praising Lost, I decided to finally give it another go. Only to find out that the show is leaving Netflix on August 14th. Meaning I have to consume over 90 hours of this bloody show in 27 days. Thank fuck I don't actually have a life or I'd be in serious trouble. 😅

Is Twitter just bots now or something? How can someone with 16K followers tweet something like this and only get 80 likes? Whereas if they had posted the same exact thing on Twitter, they'd get thousands? Are bots just jacking up the numbers over there? Post engagement seems very low on Bluesky.

New video tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. I put a shit ton of effort into this one, and once It's out, I want to stop reviewing games for the forseeable future. More interested in reviewing books or board games at the moment.

Finally watched 'The Room' after hearing for decades how it's the ultimate "So bad it's good" movie. Well unfortunately, it was just bad...really, really bad. And i had a splitting fucking headache afterwards. That being said, I'd be lying if I said moments like this didn't get a reaction from me.🤭
