Played Raccoin: Coin Pusher Roguelike demo.

Idk man I think there was a line with these types of games and we've clearly crossed it. This one didn't even scratch my brain in a good way. I guess play it if you REALLY like coin pushers or lovelessly beating your meat.

Watched Smiling Friends (season 3).

I smiled yet again! This season was particularly impressive with all the different art and animation styles. You can tell they have a much bigger budget since they started and are making full use of it. I can't wait for the next season.

Read The Moon.

This has to be the most frustrating mech ever designed, needing 9 kids to all be together to get it to move. It was ok but never really felt like it moved beyond the proof of concept stage in it's short run. Would've liked it more if it got a proper ending.

Watched Angel's Egg.

Uhhhh it looked really nice. There was a lot of biblical symbolism, but that's all I could really tell you. It's so obtuse and confusing that I need to sit and think on it for a while.

Watched Space Runaway Ideon: Be Invoked.

Basically the End of Evangelion but for Ideon. This is the true ending of Ideon. It was brutal, tragic, shocking, and beautiful all throughout. The series was already pretty high ranking in my eyes but this movie is a masterpiece.

Played Octopath Traveler 0 prologue demo.

Yep, it's octopath alright. The game plays good and looks good but what was most interesting was the town building which I barely got to mess with but it seems neat. Also I'm glad it's only $50.

Watched Space Runaway Ideon.

My first non gundam Tomino series and it was a hell of a ride. The stakes were universally high but the Ideon was monstrously strong to deal with it. It was great but very similarly structured to Gundam though it may have had higher highs.

Watched Sony State of Play E (Nov 11).

That was fucking awful. It was all shit shown before or updates/dlc for shit that's already out. I think maybe there was 1 or 2 new games announced but it was done so quickly & offhandedly that I barely noticed. Waste of time and money.

Watched Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc.

Seeing this arc again made me realize just how many details I had forgotten since I first read it. That being said, it was incredible, even better than season 1. Also seeing Reze in motion and I get it, I would fall for her.

Watched Dragon's Heaven.

One of the most visually stunning OVAs I've seen. The opening is done in live action with 6 ft tall models and the artstyle is heavily inspired by Moebius' art. The story is pretty barebones but there's not much you can do in 30 minutes.

Played Homura Hime demo.

This game feels like Assault Spy in that it looks like it has pocket change for a budget but the gameplay makes up for it as it's a really good character action game. I especially liked the character design.

Read Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam.

I'm so glad that Tomino was able to continue the story of F91 because this is an absolutely incredible capstone to it. While still short, every chapter was impactful and every character had their time to shine. A must-read for all gundam fans.

Played Pictective demo.

It's like I Spy but instead of masterfully crafted set ups, its finding random things in random cityscapes. I think it would work much better if the picture resolution was higher. Also game devs please put words and not only symbols on your menu buttons.

Played Knights & Towers demo.

Barebones tower defense game and it's so slow and levels are so long. It's also bugged to only show 3 of 8 unit buttons and I only found out after several minutes there are more units. Really amateurish all around, go back to the drawing board.
October 16, 2025 at 1:27 AM
Played Hell Maiden demo.

Have you ever wanted to experience the story of Dante's Inferno but in the form of a bullet heaven game featuring a cast of anime girls? Well you're in luck because its here and it's really damn good.
October 15, 2025 at 2:05 AM
Played CiniCross demo.

They're rogueliking picross now. It's fine and works for what it is but it made me realize that I like picross when you finish a puzzle and you see what kind of picture its supposed to be but this game doesn't do that so that's a pass from me.

Beat Borderlands 3 (replay).

I had to see if it was as bad as I remembered and thankfully it wasn't because I picked a better character and only did the main story. However, the story still sucks ass and the bad pacing makes this game drag on twice as long as it needs to. Meh.

Played Bubsy 4D demo.

Pawsibly the first good Bubsy game ever. Controls feel pretty loose but once you get the hang of it you can pull of some good speedrunning meowneuvers. Cat pun.
October 11, 2025 at 6:30 AM
Played Monkey Ball.

Got lucky and was able to play an extended amount of this at the anime con arcade. Was able to beat all 10 easy stages, all 30 medium stages, and got to stage 7 on hard before tapping out. Very fun game. The banana controller needs to come back.
October 4, 2025 at 12:55 AM
Played Megabonk.

The moment I saw that this was basically 3D Vampire Survivors I knew I was about to be consumed by it. Since then I've been playing it daily as it's just as good and addictive as I feared.
October 1, 2025 at 1:46 AM
Watched Ruri Rocks.

My surprise hit of the season and yet another anime in the, "cute girls with niche hobbies" genre. I really loved how informative and wondrous they made learning about minerals & crystals. Also you can tell the animators were all rock hard while drawing Nagi.
September 29, 2025 at 3:47 AM
Watched Cultural Exchange With a Game Centre Girl.

Just like the manga, it was fine. Doesn't really do much to set itself apart from any other romance anime but it's cute enough as it is. I really liked the color palette they chose for the anime.
September 29, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Watched Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (rewatch).

Yeah it's still a 7/10 but it's the greatest 7/10 you've ever seen. Watched this again to refresh myself on the story so I can start reading Crossbone Gundam.
September 25, 2025 at 10:34 PM
Played Fire Emblem Shadows.

Well this came out of nowhere. The idea is kind of neat, and then you realize after the first game that nothing changes, battles are all the same, and the "social deduction" aspect is basically just a random guess. It's bad, dead on arrival even.
September 25, 2025 at 3:31 AM
Watched Sony State of Play (September 2025).

Awful. Pointless. Sony really didn't have anything to bring out with this one so what was even the fucking point?
