Dispatch - Really fun Telltale-style original superhero story, very much enjoyed the character dynamics and setting, really liked the management sim stuff and honestly would have preferred more of it over the qte stuff.
Overall, really fun!

The High Kahl's Oath - 40k novel about space dorfs, relatively unique little take on the universe, more focused on the politics and non-combatants in a Votann kinhold. Kinda Star Trekky in a way that 40k doesn't tend to hit. Good stuff, intrigued by a potential sequel set up at the end.

Outer Worlds 2 - interesting sequel to a deeply flawed first game, smooths a lot of the rougher edges of the first game - a more interesting party, better combat, no respec meaning decisions matter more - still not quite reaching it's full potential but a solid iteration to the first.

Scream 5 and 6, really interesting duology of 'requels', the first doing a really fun set of call-backs to the original and the second doing a lot of it's own thing, with the explicit mission statement of reinventing as much of the original as possible and doing a damn good job of it. fun stuff!

Batman and Robin Year One - utterly fantastic re-imagining of Dick Grayson's first adventure, incredibly fun kinetic artwork and a presentation of Bruce and Dick's relationship that manages to perfectly thread the needle of Bruce as emotional fuckup and Bruce as caring father. Shit rocks.

are repetitive and the lack of fast travel means the open world feels like padding most of the time, but it's not ACTIVELY bad and I think if it wasn't called Bloodlines 2 I'd be much more charitable to it. As is, it's a 5-6/10 game that feels much more disappointing than that. I like Fabien though.

Ghost of Tsushima - really fun open world game. Doesn't really reinvent the wheel on anything it's doing, but it's got a good story and the gameplay's really enjoyable. Had a nice time with it and the DLC was fun too.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees - small town serial killer story set in a richard scarry-esque world of anthropomorphic fuzzy animals. Interesting concept, well executed, solid 6 issues.

Alan Moore's run on Saga of the Swamp Thing - Continuing the read-along to Shelved By Genre's Moore Unit, this is an all-timer run and maybe a perfect model for reinventing an older character - mature, political in ways that have aged but not as much as you might think, gorgeous art. Loved it.

it is so impressive to me that the Swamp Thing team just randomly made one of the best Batman stories in the middle of an all-timer run of a different character

finally got around to finishing Kamen Rider Gavv - one of my favourite KR series, Gavv's got it's issues, especially in the second half where it loses a bit of focus, but the action's fantastic and it has my favourite main cast since Build.
Really fun show, would rec to anyone interested in Toku.

One Battle After Another - my favourite Di Caprio performance in a long time, an insanely maniacal Sean Penn performance and some masterful fucking direction from Anderson, just got out of this but I'm willing to call it a movie of the year contender. Goddamn.

A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories (1978) - The first 'graphic novel', this is a really interesting collection of short stories based around a tenement building in 1930s New York.
Excellent stuff, if not quite as big a landmark as it was.

catch up time - Claudine (1978) - one of the earliest trans-focused manga, Claudine is really fucking good Shojo Tragedy but with a really well-executed and respected explicitly trans-masc protagonist. Worth going out of my way for IMO.

To Be Hero X - probably the most original, interesting and visually stunning non-comics superhero media I've seen since Spider-Verse, a fucking animation tour de force, especially in it's last couple eps.
To say much would spoil it, but it's excellent stuff.

V For Vendetta (comic not movie) - while some of the politics and portrayals of women especially hasn't aged great, this is still a massively hard-hitting dystopic revenge fantasy played neatly. Moore's first major work and while it shows, it's also real fucking good.

A Canticle For Leibowitz - a really fascinating meditation on religion in a post-apocalyptic (and then post-post-apocalyptic and then post-post-post-apocalyptic) future, some straight up beautiful prose in here. Feels like 3 novels stapled together (because it is), but it works really well.Recommend

Lies of P: Overture DLC.
A really good addition to a game I already adored, this took everything I love about the base game and just put more of it in. An expanded story on stuff I found fascinating, a more gothic-horror-setting, excellently portrayed new characters, just a great DLC.

Final Fantasy: Pixel Remaster Collection (except 2).
I beat 5 of the first 6 FF games and it was such a lovely trip down memory lane - these games are all pretty much what I remember them being.
1 feels like the foundation of modern RPG gaming, a wonderfully classic but frustrating experience.

Barry Lyndon - Kubrick's really one of those 'every frame a painting' directors and you can REALLY tell here. This movies just utterly gorgeous to look at, with some utterly stellar performances throughout.
One of those movies where a 3-hour runtime feels incredibly earned. Great film.
