the snipe was crazy and a little bit false, i think i put it on sleep timer loop a couple times and it cheesed the spot off that lmaoooo

totally get it! im just jaded and tired is all. they made us all make chatgpt accounts at my job like a month ago and ive definitely just internalized and accepted this is just how the world is going to be lol

it makes it impossible to have a meaningful conversation about what's in the actual video game when a sizable group of people go online and say they think the writing is shit, for example, but never actually played the game and are just playing their desired role in the surrounding social politics
December 3, 2025 at 5:52 AM
but yeah, again really my bone to pick is less about having hangups like this (which are fair) and more about saying The Game is Bad Because [some argument about the game itself] when really you just don't like some other thing. it's a valid hangup but has nothing to do with the actual game

i do think that i generally want to continue playing video games moving forward, and i think that realistically if it's not true now it will be true within 5 years that all games are developed using some form of AI and it's just a matter of how well they conceal it
December 3, 2025 at 5:52 AM
hiya! im aware, and you can dislike me for this, i just honestly don't care enough. imo the war is over and all i can ask is that devs make some demonstrated effort to ensure they're not stealing others' work

i don't fault you or others if that's your reason for not liking the game in the slightest

there's a world where i go back to posting more if they implement private accounts and also implement more hours in my day. sorry for the quiet, i hope y'all are doing well!

life: i moved about a month ago from home to live with my partner. it's been very nice! i know ive been dead silent on social media and also havent caught up with too many people lately, so just wanted to put that out there

work is same old

books: i don't read anymore sadly
movies: i don't watch but it's probably sinners if we're being real unless im forgetting something

shoutouts also go out to I Love My Computer by Ninajirachi, which i tried to listen to when it came out, strongly disliked it, then tried again like a week or two ago and it clicked. its great stuff
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
I only listened to Frailty recently so I'm trying not to overreact but i also feel like it surely makes my top 10 all time, or at least lands in that ballpark. im a real sucker for a good slow burn, and my god man. i don't even know what to say.
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
winner for best thing i listened to for the first time in 2025: Frailty by Jane Remover

visceral listening experience, i think this album is a masterpiece and is basically why i like music even if it's borderline unlistenable at times. i have not listened to revengeseekerz but i eagerly await it
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
as for music, it was a pretty dogshit year in my lane admittedly, and i did less branching out and more replacement with other forms of media.
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
i also played lots of multiplayer things I enjoyed. I think the standouts are Arc Raiders, 2xko, and TFT. nothing i feel so passionately about that i want to rant about it, but i had a good time with these and i have high hopes for more fun in the future

Honkai: Star Rail

yeah, i know it's embarrassing and it's a gacha, etc. this is one of the best live service games ive ever played and im really glad i stuck it out through the bad opening of amphoreus to see the payoff. still has definite issues but call it a guilty pleasure
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
this is my runner up for the year. probably something around an 8.5 or 8.75 for me if I had to give it a number. 9 if everyone stopped talking about it immediately but i know i won't be that lucky with tga coming up
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
what im getting at is that it's not a slam dunk experience and it won't be great for everyone, but i feel that the sincerity and ambition of its ideas will keep it in my head for quite some time. the endings of every chapter are just unforgettable, beautiful, poignant; it's true art
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
there are pacing issues abound because of how they structured this thing. there are tone issues, and especially i personally felt a lot of "this is not the tone i wanted" issues which are distinct from the actual tonal clashes. the game is also very heteronormative, intentionally.
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
my take on the game is that it's a good game. it's flawed and far from perfect, but also very ambitious and memorable. it's an art game that want too badly to be viewed as an art game, and at considerable expense to the player experience. the gameplay is also mid and a bit of a slog oftentimes.
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
people also like to act like it's a bad game because it's fun to dunk on things that weirdos have co-opted. im all for dunking on weirdos but we are just reaching levels of disingenuous that really just crosses way too many lines for me to be comfortable with personally
December 3, 2025 at 5:38 AM
Exp*diti*n 33: Cla*r Obs*ur

the discourse surrounding this game on the internet makes me so irrationally angry, hence the censoring. people act like you are morally bad if you like this game because weirdos have co-opted it. that may be usually true but in this case IMO it's not the game's fault.
