Post a move you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score.

Truly unhinged that both critic and audience ratings for Snake Eyes are this low.
A screenshot of the Rotten Tomatoes page for the De Palma movie Snake Eyes. It has a critic score of 42% and an audience score of 35%

Going to be playing a lot of the Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Remake and Persona 3 Reload demos on my switch this weekend…

Got some new desk friends on my recent work trip to Tokyo. Hee ho!
A figure of Jack Frost from Shin Megami Tensei standing on a little box that looks like a kotatsu that has Toro (the PlayStation Japan mascot) sticking his head out of it. Miniature figures of Char’s Zaku from Gundam and Makima from Chainsaw Man sitting on a Studio Ghibli finger skateboard.

Back in Tokyo for work so of course I had to go see the new Shibuya Parco Sega store! Got some Sonic and Yakuza merch there, including a miniature metallic Dreamcast and a super silly Yakuza acrylic standee that comes with a Red Bull for some reason.
My purchases from the Sega store, including a plush an acrylic standee of Majima from Yakuza, an exclusive Sonic plush, three pins of Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow, a couple of Japanese-themed Sonic coasters, and the aforementioned metal Dreamcast scale model.

Had a great time at my first GenCon with @jamjamlee.bsky.social this week! I think our highlights of the show were the game of Bluebeard’s Bride that we played, as well as our preview game of the upcoming Cyberpunk Legends card game! The Faster Purple Worm show was a blast as well. 😊

Follow-up to this. Superman was pretty dang good!! boxd.it/akwmxv
A 4.5 star review of the 2025 Superman movie. The review reads: Doesn’t 100% nail it, but at its core it understands its lead character, which is more than a lot of recent superhero movies can claim. Excellent representations of Lois, Jimmy, Mr. Terrific, and so many others in here as well! The writing still leans a little too heavily on the jokes for my liking, but there’s a heart to this story that sets it apart from what we’ve seen from Gunn’s work at Marvel. It certainly has me looking forward to whatever is next in DC’s cinematic lineup.

Still playing Assassin's Creed Shadows. Very pretty game!!
A stylized, ink-toned depiction of Yasuke, a samurai warrior in traditional armor, wearing a conical hat that obscures most of his face. He is holding both hands in front of his chest in prayer. Two swords are sheathed at his side. The armor is detailed with intricate patterns and textures. The background is muted, drawing focus entirely to the figure. Naoe, a ninja wearing a conical hat, dark clothing, and flower-stylized katana, stands on a branch overlooking a vast, forested mountain landscape with autumn colors and distant buildings under a cloudy sky.

Weekend in Portland
An arm holding a box of Blue Star Donuts in front of a house. The box is blue and white with the Blue Star Donuts logo. The house is green with white trim, and has a grey fence. A close-up shot of a black sign with white text from Powell’s Books that reads "NAUTICAL” and “WESTERNS" hanging from a white ceiling. The sign is made of several horizontal slats, and the text is printed in a sans-serif font. A street-level shot of the Excalibur Comics sign, with a red building and overcast sky in the background. A person and small dog stand under a blooming rhododendron tree by a lake.

I love UI icons. I wish more of my day-to-day work involved making them! Oh well. Here's some that I made a couple years ago for a project that never saw the light of day.
8 assorted icons, including a finger selecting something in a box; a percent sticker; a clock with a counter-clockwise arrow going around it, a down arrow with a yen sign in it, three stacked diamonds, an exclamation point in a circle, a megaphone, and a price tag

Random game Saturday: Most of the contents of the Japan-only Xenosaga Freaks are text-based (a text adventure game, a word puzzle game, and an encyclopedia), so I’ve never actually booted it up. I should check out the fan translation of that text adventure game one day though.

Merry Christmas gamers
A screenshot from Persona 3. Akihiko is saying “It’s Christmas, and we’re in Tartarus.” A screenshot from the DS game 999: 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors. It shows a Aoi Kurashiki, a character from the game who is code named Santa, pointing a gun at another character. The text on screen says “Santa’s got the gun.” Tails standing in front of a Christmas tree in Sonic Adventure. The text on screen says “Merry X’mas!! Please keep in touch with Sonic!”

Absolutely losing my mind over how good Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was!!! The post-credits scenes absolutely DESTROYED ME!

Been catching up on some indie games I missed this year in the lead up to the holidays. I'm almost finished with 1000xRESIST and it's definitely going to be on my favorites list. Incredibly deep, full of layers of important themes. By far one of the best sci-fi stories I've experienced in years.
