#1 - Streets of Rage 4
Hard to believe this is my first time beating this game, but it is! I finished the game as Blaze, which is who I always pick in Streets of Rage games tbh. Guard Crush knows how to make good beat 'em ups.

Watched Oculus. It was alright. Mike Flannagan has done far better things down the road. I think he might shine the most when he does a series rather than a film.

There are aspects of Fable that I missed and I'll be glad to get into like buying up houses and I think it's great that they built on that. The animations aren't great though. The running animation, the facial animations... they're not very good. I'm still day 1 though. I'm still excited!

Ubisoft cancelled all of those games and decided the answer was to hard focus on AI.

I’m heading to infusion while listening to the Trails of Cold Steel soundtrack. It sucks a few of these composers left Falcom because some of these are the best tracks in the series.

I will always try to get people to check this amazing series out.
From "Frieren" Season 2 ending, animated with colored pencils by Mimei Aoume (she had already worked on Season 1 ending).

Go ahead. I guarantee you'll roll it back in a few days given all the bad press you'll have to endure. 🤷
Netflix has confirmed plans ramp up AI use with subtitle localization and advertisement creation for its subscribers in 2026. https://bit.ly/3NwBgRo

Bought Halls of Torment because I was in the mood for this kind of game. My first run wasn't bad, but I'm sad that I died at the end boss.

Reading Gantz for long stretches can both make time go fast and also feel kind of rough especially when characters make awful choices that make me want to stop reading. I can't imagine being someone who waited for new chapters of this because I'm having a hard time dealing with it when it's all out.

Still can’t get over the fact that bro just gets a fake peace prize and then invades Venezuela and threatens to take over Greenland. I bet FIFA feels real dumb right now. They should.

It's sad when a game has sounds that affect my misophonia pretty severely. I checked The Silver Case out, but the text noises are too much for me to handle and googling it has led to nothing helpful on removing them other than just playing with no sounds at all which kinda turns me off.

Did not know there was a Game Boy version of the windmill song. I also didn't expect to do a stealth bit. Was pleased there was a room behind the waterfall, but I didn't find anything...

Bought a new battery for my 3DS XL because my old one didn’t really hold a charge for long and it wasn’t lasting very long in general. Took the old battery out and it was bulging out. 😵💫
I guess it’s good I replaced it. Now I can play Kirby Canvas Curse.

Well, that escalated quickly...
So, I've never played Zelda: Oracle of Seasons or Ages. I'm starting with Seasons. It's finally time to knock these down I think.

I have a small bulge in my upper stomach that hurt pretty bad yesterday and today I'm having sudden pains there that make my whole body shiver. I guess I'm off to the hospital. 🫡

It’s crazy that we get animation quality like Fate/strange Fake, Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren, Sentenced to Be a Hero, SHIBOYUGI in the same season.

My brain is on strike from long RPGs at the moment. For some reason as soon as I picked up Octopath Traveler 0, my brain was like "Okay, you could play this and I KNOW you want to, but what if you went on on a shorter game spree?" and honestly for right now it feels like the right choice.

Been reading Gantz for the past week before bed. Sometimes I hate it, sometimes I'm disgusted by it, sometimes I'm intrigued by it. It really depends on where it goes...
Definitely does some things that would be heavily criticized today... deservedly so.
