39: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Blegh. I think Gearbox has the basic Borderlands loop down to a science...which makes me less interested in these games in general. This entry has the same issue the ones from 2 onward have where it just won't shut the fuck up while the writing is abysmal dogshit.

38: Evil and The Mask by Fuminori Nakamura
A fairly gripping crime thriller. I personally enjoyed it, but I've heard of people who've been let down by where the book goes. I think it's easy to build up an image of what the book is based off the blurb that's nothing like the actual contents, but...

37: Tales of Berseria.
I was at the final dungeon, and I’m having trouble sleeping, so I decides to just do one big lap to the finish.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think the combat system is…it definitely has interesting ideas, and I can appreciate it going for something new. However, I feel it was…

36: Vampire: The Masquerade 2e
Man, it’s been a while since I’ve done a FULL, cover-to-cover reading of an RPG book.
If my constant bitching about the post-revised era hasn’t made it clear, I think this is a great game SETTING. I can’t deny that Revised/20th streamlines these systems into a more…

35: Fatal Frame IV: Mask of The Lunar Eclipse
It’s…not s bad entry. It’s easiy the weakest of the Fatal Frame games I’ve played thus far.
Needing to use the flashlight to make items visible before picking them up felt super awkward and frustrating, and a lot of the ghost encounters ranged between…

34: Tales of Symphonia
I’m so happy that Zestiria was just a dogshit entry and not AT ALL reflective of the general quality of the series.
I think it’s tied with Abyss for my favorite entry. The gameplay definitely shows its age in spots, especially with the inability to use 3D movement, but it’s…

Trying these right now.
The taste is…strange. Not in a bad way. Just…sweets flavored with cumin is a thing I’ve never really had before.
I don’t DISLIKE it

Maybe the second playthrough might be a bit early, but I got the TRUE true ending.
10/10 no notes no complaints

Raine Tales of Symphonia is super hot. Send skeet

33: Gore Screaming Show.
It's so fucking peak.
Okay I'm kinda cheating here. There's TECHNICALLY one more route...like, a bonus route centered around Mashiro that delves deeper into the nature of the supernatural elements, but Yuka's ending is VERY clearly meant to be the actual conclusion to...

Tonight I’m dining on chicken paprikash - an eastern european dish that my good friend Jonathan Harker tried on his business trip to transylvania to sell some old property outside of London to Count…something-or-other

He’s completely lacking in any form of self-control.
On the plus side, I DID get to sample a very nice locally produced vodka when I went out grocery snatching

This game spoils me

“Hey set your fuckin’ Vampire chronicle in Middle-Earth or make it a near future cyberpunk action fest. All that stuff is sick as shit and we want this to be a toolbox to facilitate whatever kind of game you want”
Sentiments that would terrify a significant chunk of the WoD playerbase.

A find at my local Half Price Books.
On one hand, I’ve been hoping to find these for a while. On the other - ow, my wallet

I happened to tap on a tweet thread and got thinking about this again.
I feel like more than anyone else I encounter Kareshy out in the wild on the other site.
On this bsky it’s probably Keita
