Starting my 2025 media thread! I just do mine monthly but I could be talked into making individual posts if it’s preferred. I just keep this in my Notes app and take a screenshot of it every month. Feel free to ask about my opinion on anything! #mediathread2025
Oh hell yeah, let’s go! (Should give me enough time to finish 1st Chapter lol.)

PlayStation Wrap Up stats for the year. Considering that’s where I do the majority of my gaming it’s pretty comprehensive.

The reason why some of y’all don’t like Myles is the same reason you didn’t like Chadley.

You see too much of yourself in him.

Cinderella: A Dream is a wish your heart makes…

Me: (whispering so the kid doesn’t hear) What about nightmares, Cinderella?

Born to love musicals. Cursed with some of the worst lyrical blindness known to man. Without subtitles it just sounds like noise unless I’ve heard it enough to know the lyrics beforehand.

Okay, joke all you want but I eat this shit up when it’s done right.
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

I still have a soft spot for Digimon. Time Stranger’s ending made me cry. It’s not a game for everyone, but it might just be my personal GOTY, and a Digimon game for fans and first timers.

I had heard Time Stranger had a pretty big dump of side quests in the end game, but I didn’t expect to end up with like…. 20 of them. I also didn’t expect to spend my entire play session tonight in the arena.

At least I’ve got the Omni Sword, so I’ve got Imperialdramon PM locked in.

I’m pretty sure the new Katamari game referenced Golden Boy randomly. So this is surprisingly timely. Maybe the universe is telling me to watch Golden Boy.
Golden Boy is out!

Kintaro Oe travels Japan to study everything educational he can.

The women he comes across end up finding something else more interesting.

I’m so excited for this. These movies are so great and the original English releases are wildly rare. (I was there when they dropped too!!)

Now we just need a proper Tamers Blu-Ray release!!

It's been a longstanding wish of mine that more Digimon movies would get a home video release.

Bent the universe to make this happen as good as it could.

The effort was very much worth it.

Super excited that more people will get to enjoy these in just 2 months! Said the wait would be short!

My daughter can’t tell the difference between Mickey and Minnie, and she doesn’t even acknowledge me trying to correct her.

“Go go Mickey!”

“That’s Minnie honey.”

“Go go Mickey!”

“🫠. Go go Mickey.”

My Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter review (or review in progress at least) is in this one! Been loving the game so far, I’ll be slow to finish since this rush of games is so much, but it’s truly one of the best JRPGs you can play!
