Glass Onion

A really intriguing premise with everything I liked about Knives Out still in tact! Blanc was fucking incredible in this one, but the pacing & characters weren't as strong as they were in Knives Out. I definitely prefer the first one overall, but this was still a great & fun follow-up!!

Knives Out

This was such an entertaining and satisfying watch! I expected it to be a relatively standard whodunnit at first. But once things got going, I was super invested as the story kept going in unexpected directions. I absolutely loved it! Definitely gonna check out the other two movies now!!

Godzilla Minus One

I haven't watched that many Godzilla movies, but this is easily my favourite! This movie got me hella emotional at times. The portrayal of post-war trauma was super effective & seeing all these different people come together and overcome such an overwhelming foe was just amazing!

Moulin Rouge!

My father recommended this to me. I didn't know what to expect at first, but I really liked it! My favourite aspect was easily the direction & the editing, this movie has some absolutely insane shots & sequences! There were a couple minor hiccups here & there, but I really enjoyed it!

Kirby Air Riders

One of the most creative & unique kart racers I've ever played! The amount of content & game modes here is just insane. City Trial especially is insanely fun! In a lot of ways, this game kinda feels like a love letter to the Kirby series from Sakurai, and I absolutely adore it!!^^

Life of Pi

I've sadly never read the book, but this was still a pretty amazing movie!! Visually incredible with so many breathtaking shots. And I loved the themes of religion & God as well as the different ways you can interpret the whole story. I'm really glad I finally got around to watching it^^

My only real nitpick with Kirby Air Riders so far is not having Adeline & Ribbon and Elfilin on the roster.

Don't get me wrong, the roster is great as it is, especially with how many games and characters are represented, but that just makes their omission all the more noticeable in my opinon.

I Saw The TV Glow

This movie hit really hard on so many levels that it's hard to put into words. I loved the visual presentation & just general surreal nature of the movie. The birthday party scene might be one of the most horrific & scariest moments I've ever seen in a movie. Absolutely incredible

Peak gaming has been acquired!!✌️
I've never played the original Air Ride so I'm really excited for this one^^

(Also I just noticed that this is my first physical Switch 2 game, since I got Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza digitally and Hades II and Silksong didn't have physical on launch)

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

An absolute gem of a game! The premise is just so creative and it made for such a unique & satisfying gameplay experience. The overarching mysteries had me constantly guessing & the plot twists near the end were just insane! Please play it if you have the chance!!

Went a bit back and forth here and there but here's my current votes for #TheGameAwards:
November 17, 2025 at 9:23 PM
I feel like instead of having three E33 nominations they could've juat had two actors for E33 and then also nominate Judy Alice Lee as Melinöe from Hades II, since her performance was really great and Hades II is also a GOTY contender
November 17, 2025 at 7:34 PM
One thing I don't really like about the Game Awards nominees is that 3 out of 6 nominees for Best Performance are for Expedition 33.

Don't get me wrong, I like the cast and their performances, but half of the nominees being from one game is weird as it almost guarantees that E33 wins that category
November 17, 2025 at 7:30 PM
I've grown to not care that much about the Game Awards, but I'm still happy about this year's nominees^^

Hollow Knight Silksong, Hades II & Expedition 33 are all amazing and I'd be happy with either of them winning!!

I'm definitely rooting for Silksong to win the most, but I'm expecting E33 to win
November 17, 2025 at 6:06 PM
Since they're gonna announce the GOTY nominees for this year's Game Awards, here's my current, last minute predictions:

- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Hades II
- Hollow Knight: Silksong
- Split Fiction

Frankenstein (2025)

Probably one of my favourite movies of the year next to Sinners. The production design is absolutely insane & I loved the performances for Victor & especially the Creature. Seeing him slowly grow, learn about the world & search for meaning was incredibly engaging and emotional!

Ghost of Yotei

An absolutely incredible game!! Visually breathtaking & it managed to greatly expand on the gameplay of Tsushima. I love the exploration & the way sidequests were executed here & the combat is super fluid. Pretty much everything I could've wanted in a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima!!

If I had a nickel for every game I've played this year that had a character voiced by Ben Starr in it, I'd have four nickels

Sword of the Sea

I really dig the vibe and atmosphere of this game!! Seeing how the environments change whenever you solve a puzzle was really satisfying. The surfing was also pretty fun and the music is absolutely beautiful!! I had a really fun time with this game overall^^

I Fell in Love With The Majesty of Colors

A short and sweet experience that I really enjoyed! It obviously doesn't have much depth from a gameplay perspective as an early flash game, but I thought the concept behind the game was really cool, especially the way the creature perceived the humans.

AN INSATIABLE HIGH - Masayoshi Takanaka

Saw a random guy on TikTok mention this album so I decided to give a listen and thank GOD I did 'cause this is an absolute jam!! I'm definitely gonna have to listen to more of his stuff but I think I may have just found a new favourite!!^^

I'm playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time and that motherfucker Pyramid Head has the audacity to show up in Smiling Friends of all places
