For 2025, I’m aiming to really push myself creatively.
I’ve had so many ideas for stories and scripts for so long that I think I finally just need to put down on paper and put out into the terrifying void of the internet.

I think it really speaks to the quality of Jesper Kyd, Sarah Schachner, and Einar Selvik as composers that I can listen to a soundtrack like Assassin's Creed Valhalla's (a game I don't particularly like, in retrospect) and be whisked away to all the moments I loved about that game.

Titling your album “The Life of a Showgirl” and spending less than zero minutes of your 1hr long runtime examining or breaking that concept down is actually a Top 10 Scams of All Time, well done Saylor Twift 👏🏻👏🏻

Ubisoft remains the worst, shocker!
I would advise not buying their games. I haven’t since 2020, it’s surprisingly easy to do!!
Ubisoft is one of the most anti-art video game companies in existence and I think buying their slop makes you subjectively a bad person to me personally.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan
Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year
Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

No Man’s Sky might very well be one of the best video games ever made.

I recently found out the first showing of Suzume was in an IMAX theatre and you could almost hear my heart shattering into a million pieces ☹️☹️
On the other hand, I did just get my hands on a Suzume Steelbook, which I didn’t even know existed, so this week has been a net positive 💙💙

So, like, did no one play test any of the mini games or parkour challenges in Expedition 33?
I have never played something less intuitive or fun than some of the side content in this game 😭😭

I haven't written anything in like 2 months.
Not a word, sentence, or even an idea.
I just busted out 6 pages and 3000+ words in about 3hrs.
I don't think I've ever written this much or been so motivated to write this much...ever???

I cannot believe that, in the big 2025, I have just flyted.
I actually refuse to believe that Expedition 33 has flyting.

If it isn’t already, this Chronological Experience should only be unlocked once you’ve beaten the game once already.
The flashbacks and perspective shifts of TLOUII are so intentionally placed to convey a central message and idea surrounding perspective.

There’s a shot in John Wick: Chapter 2 that looks so similar to that one salsa dress shot from Mission Impossible 2 and I almost burst out laughing 😭😭

I've just rewatched John Wick: Chapter 2 and realised that this is the last time we ever see John's car or John Leguizamo's character in the entire franchise
