Played through Crystalis
Honestly, if I played it normally and not on NSO, it would've been a much more frustrating experience. The leveling is weird, level design is all over the place, and the menus are very unintuitive.
5/10 for me unfortunately.

Finally finished the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (one version each game).
Definitely nostalgic, though it hasn't all aged the best, and they definitely didn't fix any typos/grammatical errors or even add handy maps.
7/10 for me, might pick up the Star Force collection next year.

City the Animation ended today
Even if it doesn't get a season 2 (which it should, there's so much they didn't adapt), it's still an incredibly easy 10/10
If you loved Nichijou, there's no reason you wouldn't enjoy City.
Now I need to buy the manga

Três esqueletos vestidos de gangster com metralhadoras em punho arrombam uma porta e assustam três pessoas dentro de uma casa "THEY'VE UNSPOILERED IT! RATTLE 'EM BOYS!"

Read through Duranki
Unfortunately, it was canceled after only 6 chapters due to the passing of Kentaro Miura, but it's still an interesting read despite being extremely unfinished.
7/10, though I'm now reading the draft of its original incarnation, Amazones, included in the English volume release

Should say that I watched Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 on Saturday
Standard Demon Slayer affair, gorgeous animation but mid story.
7/10

I finally finished Hollow Knight: Silksong with 100% and 3 of the 4 endings, and I have to say, it's worth the hype. Potentially better than the original? Hard to say, but it is incredible (and very hard too, the secret final boss took me like 3/4 days alone).
Has to be a 10/10, truly peak

It took way too long, but I've finally read through the entirety of the manga for Dragon Ball and DBZ
Still a legendary manga, even if the Buu saga does drag a little
I think I'll go 8.5/10

Also finished up Assassin's Creed 1
I've had most of these for a while, been meaning to get to them. The first is definitely very interesting, movement is pretty good, but combat and enemy AI is very spotty at best.
7/10 for me

bro don't do this to me

Just finished up The Callisto Protocol.
Just a nothing kinda game imo, really only finished it to clear up my hard drive space
5/10 for me

I watched Thunderbolts* the other night! Probably Marvel's strongest movie this year, it was pretty fun to see lesser known and weaker characters take the spotlight
Also Taskmaster lol
8/10 for me, interested to see how Doomsday/Secret Wars ties in

Finished up Postal Redux
I've played through most of Postal 2 (still haven't finished though), and was interested in the original. It's an interesting top-down shooter, though it's not really as dark as you'd think, at least until the very end.
I'd say a 6.5/10, gameplay is fine but a little janky.

It's probably just gonna be D4C imo

Played through Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones as well!
I only did Ephraim's route, might do Eirika's eventually, just not feeling it right now.
8/10 again for me

I'm sure they did the best they could, just would've been nice to have those subs too
Hopefully the upcoming new home release has them

Watched Shin Godzilla on Friday in theaters with @koalaenjoyer.bsky.social!
Directed by Hideaki Anno, it's an excellent look at Japanese bureaucracy in the midst of an unraveling disaster.
Oh, and Godzilla also happens to be there too
8.5/10, kinda wish the English scenes had subs too

Finally played through Fire Emblem, aka The Blazing Blade!
The seventh game in the franchise but the first one we got, on the GBA, and a prequel to Roy's game (which we never got).
I didn't go through Hector's story, since it's an alternate to the main story, but still.
8/10 for me

And of course I played through the next Picross game thatcame out, Hatsune Miku Logic Paint S+!
A re-release and expansion of the original game from a few years ago, it has a lot more puzzles (took me 45 hours to finish)
Easy 10/10 of course

The other was My Neighbors the Yamadas!
A nice little slice of life about a family of weirdos, different vignettes following them through silly encounters.
Que sera, sera indeed.
Another 7/10 for me, I'd say.

Birdbrain mentioned, JamieP(eak) representation

oh noooooo

I also watched a couple more Ghibli movies, starting with Pom Poko!
It almost felt like they were trying to narrate a nature documentary at times, imo.
I think it was a little too long, but I still enjoyed it.
7/10 for me

The last was The Fantastic Four: First Steps!
A cool way to introduce Marvel's first family, and in an alternate universe no less.
7.5/10 for me, I'm curious how they'll join the main timeline

The second was Summer Wars!
I adore this movie, definitely my favorite of Mamoru Hosoda's original films. Granny is the true MVP.
An easy 10/10 for me

I did a theatrical triple feature yesterday, starting with Superman!
A much more hopeful and optimistic version of the character (who is very Midwestern coded too), definitely a great start to the new DCU
8.5/10 for me

And I did a quick run through of Full Throttle Remastered
I'm still not much of a point and click adventure guy, but I still respect the genre, and the redone animations do look pretty good.
A 6.5/10 for me

I also wrapped up Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Another solid Lego game, with even more deep DC cuts
7/10 for me

Just wrapped up 100%ing Donkey Kong Bananza!
Man, what a game. The destruction is so fun, just running around, digging, and beating up enemies while finding bananas in the worlds. The transformations are pretty cool too, if a little game breaking. And man, that final boss...
I think I'll go 9/10
