So that's why Darth Vader is trending.

They're not even trying to pretend to be the good guys anymore.

Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

120: Halloween III: Season of the Witch

The weird one.

An attempt at making an anthology series goes full weird with Celtic Stonehenge magic, robotic assassins, and a pretty good soundtrack

Takes a WHILE to get going but once it hits its stride it's fun and weird

8.6/10

119: Halloween 2

A little more mainstream and well produced, but works extremely well as a direct sequel to Halloween 1, as it picks right after and deals with the aftermath, and the hospital setting is still pretty fun, had some good ideas, but did drag at times, worse paced
9/10

The trouble with playing the We Love Katamari soundtrack at a four-year-old’s birthday party is all the parents looking at each other and mouthing “is this English?”

Jutsei @jutsei124.bsky.social · 7h

I haven't played Katamari since We Love Katamari on the PS2 but I'm sure getting Once Upon A Katamari so we can get more

If I have a great time I'll prob go back and get the reroll versions too lmao

This found footage horror movie about trolls turning into a big dumb kaiju fight (/affectionate) at the end of the sequel is why movies are goddamn magic

The new trailer for TROLL 2 delivers a monster mashup, pitting two giant Kaiju monsters up against each other:

‘Troll 2’ Official Trailer – Norwegian Kaiju Movie Promises an Epic Troll vs. Troll Showdown This December

Based on Norwegian folklore, Troll was a massive hit for Netflix back in 2022, and the Norwegian monster movie gets a giant-sized sequel with Troll 2 on December 1, 2025. This one’s going to be a mons...

Also gotta say, Little NIghtmares 3 having a trophy where you have to complete all encounters with the final boss without dying once is straight up devious.

You get one chance, gotta reset the chapter if you die, and in several cases they have a nasty surprise to catch you off guard, start over.

Jutsei @jutsei124.bsky.social · 18h

Like yeah making fun of them is still fun but with how insane a lot of people in power are now it's less funny especially if that's just how it is for the whole DLC

Jutsei @jutsei124.bsky.social · 18h

I was gonna buy the Maneater Truth Quest DLC but upon learning that the narrator's dialogue essentially turns into batshit insane conspiracy theories the whole time really made me wnot wanna play it

It was probably really funny in 2021 but nowadays that's like.
Way too commonplace for me lmao

I have very complicated feelings towards this game, I don't HATE IT, but I don't love it.

At best it gets one thumbs up, it's ALMOST great but mostly just good-mid most of the time

I'll play the DLC when it comes out and maybe do a co-op session later.

Jutsei @jutsei124.bsky.social · 20h

and credit to this game but it finally makes SOME sense of the setting (There's the fucked up Nowhere world where normal human children are small and some kind of commodity/rare thing, and the real world, and people can get drawn into the Nowhere world), so it's not ALL bad.

Every level felt derivative in some way, all the monsters felt like lamer versions of what was already in LN 1 & 2, and the one good monster was undercut by some of the worst parts of the game, but some of the puzzles were good, and the whole endgame reveal WAS good

118: Little Nightmares 3

Kinda disappointing, feels like a lot was sheared off to make concessions for the co-op (who I had no one to play with), there are SOME good ideas, but it mostly feels like a vastly inferior version of LN 1&2, Supermassive tried at least, decent story
7.9/10

Jutsei @jutsei124.bsky.social · 1d

I uh.
DIdn't realize VTM Bloodlines 2 released TOMORROW

I thought it had another week until it released

I guess I'll just. wait then.

It's fine I'm sure sales for this game will knock it down pretty good.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

Seeing some of the insane responses to Legends Z-A just solidifies my opinion that Pokémon Sword/Shield irreversibly damaged all video game discussion online and I say this as someone who has their fair share of grievances with The Pokémon Company/Game Freak.
