For #randomgamesaturday, it's Linkle Liver Story for Saturn! It not only has an amazing title, its story is also quite interesting: It started out as a sequel to Ragnacenty/Soleil, but in the end became its own game. I quite like the 2D/3D-mix, it's a bit of a pity though that it only runs in 30fps.

Kingdoms of the Dump is one of the year's most charming RPGs, an Earthbound-inspired game set in a world made of trash, where you fight in landfills and heal with moldy sandwiches. Which is fitting — it was made by two janitors.

The Game is still a pretty good film, sadly, David Fincher lost a bit of his mojo (The Killer). Halloween aged like fine wine. Sound of thunder has terrible CGI, but I like the story, hope I can get my hands on the book. And I still like Harry Potter, but I know🙄 #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Finally Demonschool is out and first impressions are excellent! The game is incredibly stylish, battles are fast and clever and it moves at a wonderfully clippy pace! I can't wait to find out more about Hemst Island!

A little #music again, this time from my first watch of #Suits, season 4, episode 8. The song Looking to Closely is by Fink and is one of my favourites from the show. This song isn't as jazzy as the rest of the songs from the Suits soundtrack, but you should give it a listen, it's wonderful!

This weekend was a veritable retrobörse-smorgasboard. First in Heusenstamm, then in Kelkheim. Both were quite okay. Nothing sensational, but a few quite cromulent gets. Also, it´s always fun to visit those with @dark1x.bsky.social, @pc98audi.bsky.social and @tomsx.bsky.social! So what did I get..?
