"Routine" is incredible.
A rare horror game that truly unnerved me. With an environment so meticulously framed and lit that every moment of this experience leaves an impression.
A honed aesthetic that makes expert use of tactile analog tech and liminality both in service of gameplay and identity.

Caught up on "Welcome to Derry", maybe it's because I was pretty pessimistic from reviews I read, but I ended up enjoying what's out so far.
It's pretty rough at times (cemetery scene in EP3 was awful) and I wish it wasn't so CG heavy, but I generally vibe with what it's doing.

I used to -love- tech, and now I'm just so disillusioned by it.
At the risk of coming across as nostalgic, I miss when tech was "crude". When the barrier to entry was higher, only the most weird, passionate, and talented people seemed to be tinkering with it.
Compromise brewed distinct identities.

The new chapter of Chainsaw Man (221) shows just how good the series is at weaving Looney Tunes ass comedy into its genuinely poignant political commentary. The design of a certain weapon in this chapter is sending me.
Incredible stuff.

Only partially through this video, but it's great so far and I want to use it as a jumping off point to preach the brilliance of Remedy's connected universe.
Alan Wake 2 is firmly one of my favorite games. It wears it's influences so confidently on it's sleeve, without smothering it's own identity.

I've always been a huge fan of the 4k UHD format, but when I watch black and white movies in 4k (currently, Seven Samurai) it feels like these in particular are what the format was made for.
The contrast created with light and shadow in these films, with the addition of HDR, always blows me away.

My new no context, no spoiler theory from the latest #chainsawman chapter is that since Chainsaw Man takes place in the late 90's, Mario 64 definitely released recently in that world considering the brief appearance of a certain devil.

I really -really- need to see more proper samurai films. With the interests I have, frankly, it's embarrassing how uneducated I am on this subject.
The Criterion sale has me eyeballing a bunch of the Kurosawa 4k releases right now...

Back on the general #2025watches thread.
"Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)"
Wanted to check this out before for Badlands and was very surprised at just how incredibly cool this was. Brisk, engaging stories in three different time periods dealing with various Predator threats.

Celebrating my birthday a bit late since my wife was busy the day of, and she got me a Godzilla cake!
My boi is looking like the Hannah Barbara version which cracks me up.

I ordered it a bit too late for Halloween, but I'm still stoked to have just received my copy of "Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond" from @chrislamartina.bsky.social .
Might hold off and save this one for next year, but I adore WNUF and Halloween Mega Tape so I'm excited to check it out when I do.

I specifically held off on watching Kill Bill for my entire adult life because I hit a point where I wanted my first experience to be this version of the movie. I finally gave in and watched them a few months ago because my wife wanted to watch them with me and I figured it'd never release...
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2025) Official Trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Szk...
In Theaters Dec 5, 2025. KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR unites Volume 1 and Volume 2 into a single, unrated epic—presented exactly as he intended, complete with a new, never-before-seen anime sequence

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.
