Jackal

Kiosk

Very neat little game. Maybe it's just my low tolerance for horror games, but it's EXTREMELY good at building an incredibly unnerving atmosphere. It really takes advantage of the PS1 styling, rather than using it as dressing. Amusingly, the physics-based cooking is genuinely very fun.

From a Whisper to a Scream

Not bad all around, though the first story is easily the best and most horrific one. It's clear that the writers had never been to Tennessee in their lives, as evidenced by the ICONIC Tennessee bayou featured in the second story. Some really nice SFX in some scenes.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (100% replay)

While I do still quite like this game, this replay left me really honed in on its biggest weakness, that being that it largely drops SMG1's most unique elements and themes in favor of being a more typical Mario game. Still great, just in a different way.

Hell House LLC (with @skylucario.bsky.social!)

Good, mostly. It doesn't fall into a lot of the tropes found footage is notorious for, and actually *feels* like found footage rather than a regular movie. It's dragged down by the last 15-20 minutes, where it honestly just gets silly.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

TLoZ: The Wind Waker (NSO)

While WW is the greatest video game ever made (something we can all agree on, of course), this is the worst way to play it. The NSO GC input lag makes aiming and moving frustrating, and there's frequent z-fighting not present in the original. Stick to GameCube or Wii U.

The big one

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

Death of a Unicorn

I like this concept a lot, but it doesn't quite land. It doesn't succeed at juggling the competing tones and leaves the movie feeling very confused, even if there are some good jokes. Will Poulter was a highlight, but they really wasted Paul Rudd here. Bizarre casting decision.

I fucking KNEW that Cranky was talking about K. Rool dude, I saw that belly button and started vibrating in anticipation and then that fucking eye and I goddamn SCREAMED dude, the ending is fucking sick I love that shit THE KING IS FUCKING BACK BABY

Donkey Kong Bananza 100%

Ape game peak. The big budget in-house game that DK has always deserved, and a hell of a start to the Switch 2. Climbing sucks, but there's really not much else to criticize here. A perfect return to the spotlight for DK after far too long.

The Monkey

Great movie. Very creative and intense deaths mixed with genuinely funny moments of levity give it a very unique, unsettling atmosphere. The cinematography, set design, and editing are all great too; there are some very cool shots, and I love the colors.

Wind Waker.

F4: First Steps

Another superhero pleasant surprise. Leading up to release, this movie seemed like it was a desperate attempt at pulling favor, but it's actually a very solid, very heartfelt adaptation of the source material that focused on telling a story that could stand on its own. Loved it.

There may be a longform review of FFXVI coming at some point. I was not able to even begin to convey how disappointed I am with it in that post.

(Echoes of Wisdom longform review is also still coming, don't worry)

FFXVI

From the bottom of my heart: fuck this game.
I wanted to love it, I truly did, but it's one of the worst game experiences I've ever had. There are moments of (empty) spectacle worth admiring, but they're lost amongst hours of a bland Frankenstein's monster of a game.
