I will rant about nonsense and whatever I'm into at the time!!
Currently playing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (remake)
Watched the Takopi's Original Sin anime adaptation.

Fuck me.

It's so much more visceral with sound and motion. I thought I was prepared having read the manga before but jesus Christ.

It's so good though, absolutely went above and beyond carrying the weight it needed to in certain scenes.

10/10

I've loved reading Han Kang's We Do Not Part.

Absolutely haunting and beautifully written.

I love the intense imagery used via metaphor and how the way the metaphor is used conveys the protagonist's personality so strongly.

The surreal, dreamlike blending of reality is really immersive too.

God the happy ending in Strategy of Lily. Honestly great game, really fun. I didn't expect a huge amount when I bought it but I'm so glad I did. Great strategy game
It's also impressively gay, we love that.

Not going to bother getting the genocide ending, that feels like way too much work

Finally got around to Seventh Lair (I completely forgot I bought it)

I don't know what I expected but I really should have figured it'd make me into a snivelling mess again

Read Living with my Brothers Wife.

Weh. I want an older sister.

Really enjoyed this one, loved seeing them heal and their relationship develop. Also very glad it didn't fall into romance at the end, it felt like it wanted to but didn't.

This one was very reflective for me. Interesting thought experiment that leads to some very frank discussions about gender, sexuality, and where they intersect.

Ritsu's backstory really hit for me, and of the 4 alternate endings the lesbian one far and away resonated with me the most to no surprise

How Do We Relationship was soooo good. It's got some really high highs and some really low lows. It's messy and serious and mature in a way you almost never see in romance manga. I loved that, I'd love to read more stories like this one.

Binged this whole show in one sitting

Omg it's perfect. This was made in a lab for me

It's my exact genre of music, Band-Maid is one of my favourite bands and they do the OP and some insert songs, the girls are all really fun, didn't take itself too seriously but was still earnest

I love it

Finished Clair Obscur
Fuuuuuuck that was so good. So glad I decided to pick it up

Easy GOTY contender and I'd be surprised if anything else comes close

Trails Beyond the Horizon has some big boots to fill to take it for me this year

Reshelling this thing was SO stressful but now my gameboy is girliepop so we take those

A couple hours ago I finished The House in Fata Morgana (the main story)
A genuine masterpiece that surpasses its reputation
Never had an easier 10/10 in my life
A deeply emotional and heart wrenching read from start to finish. Beautiful characters, beautiful art, beautiful music

Beautiful game

I also made a very basic map generator in excel this morning. Incredibly productive day at work I'm sure my boss is glad they're paying me to be here

*one of my favourites now, but MH took some time before it clicked for me

Whenever that "game you could forget and play again" question goes around my answer is always 13 Sentinels.

Generational game.

I've thought about replaying it a couple times but don't in the end because I know it'll never hit as hard as it did that first time.

4 letter word faves

I had SOFA
I actually kinda struggled with S, despite Xeno being one of my biggest interests.

Also A was a tossup between Altina and Atuy

Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles)
Olympia (Etrian Odyssey 3)
Freya Crescent (FFIX)
Altina Orion (Trails)

I've just binged read all of Land of the Lustrous / Houseki no Kuni.

I feel a little mixed about the ending, it was quite bitter sweet, but I feel like a lot of the characters didn't quite get a proper ending.

Hoo boy Phos just does not stop suffering, glad he found some happiness in the end

Backlog games!

Off the top of my head it's just these two atm.

Astral chain I bought on release but never got to because I went on holiday right afterwards.

Caligula Effect's opening hours were honestly kinda dull but I've heard the sequel is great so I want to try and finish the first one

Final note: this page near the end shattered me. It hits way too close to home. Straight up had a breakdown.
Marked for spoilers I guess?
