omg y'all I loved The Substance. It's so fucking disgusting and grotesque. Everything is so, SO gross. I squirmed so much. The ending had me cackling, it's so over the top. I LOVE body horror! Lots of fun!!!

USAO & Shandy Kubota - Memories
Been vibing with this album the past couple weeks. Love this side of USAO.
fave track - All About You

Knightriders - what a picture. If ren fairs had knights jousting on motorcycles I'd want to go to them more. A bit too long for me, there's definitely parts that just drag on. But the fun parts are reeeally fun. Also has my favorite version of Merlin.

hehe boyfriend :3

SICK ass movie, hilarious, entertaining all the way through. The casting, acting, cinematography, score, it's all fantastic. Thank you, sensei.

For it's 30th anniversary, I finally saw Ghost in the Shell. Pretty embarrassing that I'd only seen the live action version of something so deeply influential and iconic, but late is better than never ig. Very cool, gorgeous movie. Also super fascinating!!

Perturbator - Age of Aquarius
Listening to this made me feel pretty nostalgic for 10 years ago when I was always listening to synthwave... O the days of young adulthood. This album makes me feel like his music has matured along with me. Also Ulver feature hell yea ❤️
fave track - The Glass Staircase

Florence + the Machine - Everybody Scream
I've been sooo looking forward to this ever since the title track dropped and it did NOT disappoint. This is my favorite album release of the year. I felt very comforted listening to it.
fave track: Perfume and Milk

so yeah, this is like my #2 or #3 goty. rolling is a good time. We are indeed shooketh.

a lot of levels have cutscenes and lil stories that unfold as you complete the level and i think they're great lol. we also get cutscenes about the Queen goin on lil adventures and omggg she's soooo cute i love her :3

i don't mind hunting down crowns to progress, i like searching for the collectibles and the radar power up makes it easy on subsequent playthroughs of a level. i don't care for the King token gacha though. at least the customization options that matter to me are given from presents.

most of the other eras have maybe 3 or 4 levels. you'll finish one and the King will be like, "oh hey the ship's about ready to go!" like man, i just got here. i wonder if some of them could have been bundled together and given a wider category name so they don't seem quite as sparse? idk.

one of the main things i didn't enjoy: the edo period has waaay more levels than any of the other eras. makes sense i guess, they must have tons more assets for that period than others. unfortunately it means you'll finish a level somewhere else and then get forced back into that era sometimes.

new katamari YIPPEEEE we love katamari!! overall, good game. i love the time travel concept, it's simple but opens the doors for a nice variety of levels. soundtrack rules as always.
