You ever think about how they should make a kaiju movie where a monster gets suplexed-impaled on the Dublin spire?

Nine Sols - The masterful action-focused Metroidvania that heals you
2025 has not been a normal year for me in terms of media. Throughout the last few years, I have been happy to jump into a number of different binges or certain games, dedicating myself to a certain…

I can confidently say Nine Sols is one of my favourite Metroidvanias I have ever played and just outright a masterpiece in terms of 2D action platformers.
It is also a very personal game for me as I played as I had some self realisation playing this game.

I finished the DQ7 Reimagined demo — I really like the whole style of the game, and I think the combat feels great.
Looking forward to the full adventures of little green child and his rectangular pals! 🙌

I have a new short film out now called THE LENS. Really happy with how it turned out. Have a look if it seems interesting to you.

Well I'll see how far it goes but currently going through some Blender tutorial and it's been fun.
Fingers crossed I stick with this but learning the tools has been satisfying!

There's a lot that can be said about 2025 but I want to talk about David Lynch.
While I haven't caught up with his filmography, it was the year I finally watched Mulholland Drive and finally watched Twin Peaks.
It hit me just how earnest these works are and how they connected with me.

Coming to the end of Persona 5 Tactica and it's a super fun time!
A very nice and welcoming Tactics game where the weakest part is the P5 element oddly enough.
Basically the P5 cast feels shoved into the story and are essential side characters who take up too much screentime.

Xmas can be summed up in two situations for me.
1. "Oh my God the kids are so hyped up and overstimulated, noises and screaming are constant. My anxiety has never been more stronger Jesus!!!"
2. "Relaxing and watching Wallace and Gromit with my niece is the most heartwarming moment I have felt"

Ah great my Woolie plush stand from @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social came in.
No Woolie plush unfortunately but I think @ianfay.bsky.social Mr.Tayto model will appreciate it.
Happy Xmas everyone!

Watching The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Back to the Future so close together really has me thinking on what I like in a Time Travel story and how the former falls flat and how the latter really knows what to focus on to keep the emotions.
The less focused on the mechanics the better

Yeah this is still one of my favourite Zelda's.
Sorry OoT, I appreciate you more now, but man TP holds up immensely well.

Rewatching The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and you know as someone who disliked the final act of that movie I can now say my opinion of it has changed.
I just outright dislike the movie overall now.
The good stuff here feels so minimal in comparison to all the stuff that drags it down.

I've only watched part of the JJK anime but I might jump on proper now.
The Perfect Preparation storyline is my favourite in the series and this is making it a priority

Dreams have definitely gotten a lot more unhinged lately.
Went from being forced to hang from an aux cord under fear of death or being subjected to Russian Roulette in a Superbowl stadium VIP room...
Tis the season I suppose

1st year with the Switch 2 and while I do really like the console, the 1st Party Nintendo line up has been... impressively lackluster for me.
Donkey Kong, Legends ZA, Mario Kart World, and Prime 4 I came out of just feeling very dismissive of and for such a huge amount of the lineup, it is mad

Yeah, Majora's Mask lives up to the hype.
I say I prefer OoT as that while it isn't bad, Majora's approach can sometimes feel like it is testing your patience, rather than your puzzle solving skills while OoT has such a great flow to it

In terms of announcements, some neat stuff in there.
But to be a bit of a downer...
I'm sorry but I can't bring myself to care about Mega Man simply because it exists again.
I need to see something outside of the bare starts of a Mega Man level incrementally different from 11 to make me care
