This year's Halloween Mask
It took like 3 years, but I finally beat The Evil Within. What a slog with some really high points but mostly low points.
2/5.
Looking forward to 2.

Credits rolling on Clair Obscur.
Sometimes life gives you exactly the piece of media you need at the specific moment you need it. And in this case, I needed it in so many ways.
I don't know if I'll immediately start a new playthrough, but I definitely see this as a game I platinum one day soon.

Her name is Clair. That box has been there for two days now. Suddenly it's time to kill it.

So I'm learning French, yeah? I'm at the point where I'm watching children's movies because I can sort of almost maybe probably but not really keep up with the language.
But, that's not the point.
I've been rewatching all the true Disney Classics. And all I really wanted to say was, Damn. 1/2

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 makes me feel like I'm playing Final Fantasy for the first time since the PS2 era.
I've been a Square/Enix FF apologist for a long time --they make good games-- but COE33 is really making me give them the side eye.

Randomly bought Clair Obscura: Expedition 33 knowing very little other than it was a good turned based game.
In other news, I've obsessively reached over 70 days straight of learning French and I'm two units away from starting B1 content.
In combined news: E33 was literally made for me.

It is 3:30pm and I still haven't gotten out of bed and my. cat. is. pissed. off.
She has tried licks, bites, constant walking-on-top-ofs, even long snuggles directly in front of my phone, but nothing has worked.
I'm sorry little monster, I just want to lie in bed and doomscroll all day.

Two years ago yesterday, the kitten that had been visiting every night for a month reappeared after disappearing for week. I was heartbroken and incredibly worried about her because a snowstorm was starting to come in. I officially adopted her on the spot and we have been inseparable ever since.

It was cold, so little monster crept under the covers and went to sleep.

A Christmas Tale by Austin Crowley
2.25/5⭐
Was pretty apparent from page one that I was in for a rough ride. Could have been a decent story with better writing. The broad strokes were good, but everything was so trite and over explained.
Are there no good spooky Christmas books?

Just read Secret Santa by Andrew Shaffer.
I couldn't shake the feeling that I should have been stuck in an airport with a dead phone while reading this one.
I probably would have liked it more.
It's not bad. Its just something you read when you have nothing else.
2.75/5⭐ would read again

It is stupid how happy getting the "It's Bread" trophy just made me while playing Silent Hill 2 Remake. I only just played 3 for the first time last September (and loved it).

I literally don't know any of the Top Artists on my Spotify Wrapped. They must all be from random playlists I threw on while reading.
My Top Songs on the other hand, they make sense. But they're all from the past few months. Which means, I had those songs on repeat for a concerning amount of time.

Absolutely fantastic. Was not prepared for that.

My little monster for caturday.
We no longer keep flowers in the house because she steals them and brings them to my bedroom.
