Can't believe it took for me me to watch 2 AMA vids from my favorite guitar instructor on YT to finally get into Elliot Smith

Lowkey kinda salty 2 of my favorite bands are reuniting in 2025 and I can't feasibly see either of them. Could've caught Oasis in Chicago but I'm just hoping for another NA leg in 2026. Radiohead just isn't coming anywhere to NA which sucks. This is what I get for being into British bands 🥲

I always find it funny how my favorite music usually starts off as stuff I don't initially vibe with. Like I literally currently cannot stop listening to Loveless by MBV and I'm thinking back to how I heard it for the first time and didn't vibe with it at all.

My next video that is planned. Debating on releasing it sometime this week or next 🤔

I had the pleasure to join @jsmithwilliams.bsky.social and @nishquikpops.bsky.social to discuss Xenoblade Chronicles 3, a gem of a game that recently celebrated its 3rd-year anniversary! It's currently airing live! Cheers~

Listened to Killingmoon by Echo and the Bunnymen today and got the urge to rewatch Donny Darko

without the finishing layers

Lol yup

Lol I talked to him once about the games I play and he went on a tirade about how he can't play single player games. JRPGs would kill him 😂

If all we get at this point is a social media dropped trailer I'm be so upset. They continue to drop the ball on this. I thought this was the year they'd just go all out with the hype.

How do I tell my coworker that I don't care about any of his Fortnite rants, match recaps, or explanations of the emotes and seasons 💀💀

40 something hours into Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I just remembered I made this cool analysis/essay back in 2016 about how each Beatles album can be seen as a stage in a person's life starting from early childhood w/ Please Please Me & ending at old age w/ Abbey Road. I posted it on r/Beatles but it's been almost a decade and I can't find it now 😭😭

I got another friend to play Xenogears which makes it 3 playing currently and another who will play it soon. I'm doing the Wave Existence's work here.

So I saw Superman last night and tbh it might be one of my new favorite superhero movies of all time. Idk if it's the recency bias or if I'm over hyping it but I genuinely liked it that much. Might even make a Letterboxd account and write a review later if I have time.

Didn't think my cousin and I would have had to explain Reddit to my Dad over dinner last night 😂

Check out this awesome collab I was a part of on @sparksopus.bsky.social channel about the future of Xenoblade! Some really big content creators were a part of this too! youtu.be/wnUlkUF5hSs?...

Oasis, Blur, and Stone Roses are on repeat 👌🏽

I'm in such a 90s Brit Pop phase rn

AYO, I helped edit Nishquick's latest video. It's really thoughtful reflection on the impact of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 to celebrate its third anniversary, everyone should check it out!!

YouTube video by Nishquik Pops 3 Years Later... Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Changed My Life

In honor of Xenoblade Chronicles 3's 3 year anniversary here is a video of me reflecting on how truly life changing this game was for me. Check it out down below in the comments ⬇️ Shout out to my friend @brotagon1st.bsky.social for helping me edit this video as well!! youtu.be/4x39MPiK0Hk?...

It's crazy how even after not talking for a while some friends have this crazy psychic connection to you where they know exactly what you like and what you're vibing with rn. Also before opening the text and seeing only the preview I knew exactly what album he was gonna be sharing 😂

Dude I cannot believe Oasis actually reunited this is insane 😭 If all their shows weren't sold out in the US I definitely would've gone. I haven't been to a concert in forever and I would love to for one of my favorite bands.

The protagonist 'Hugh Williams' from Capcom's Pragmata is aiming a gun with the text 'Get excited' in a gothic font. the text is a bright magenta and dark blue while the background is a mix of greens, yellows and browns. The background is a glitchy collage of distorted text, digital noise, and a surreal cityscape screenshot straight from the game.

NEW VIDEO❗ I almost gave up on editing this but it’s finally here. PRAGMATA is real and I am READY.

key art for Pragmata. It features an astronaut-looking character facing the right, while a little girl with blonde hair and a blue jacket rests on his back. the girl has her hand up to the viewer's POV

My Pragmata video is 99% complete! I hope I can upload it before there's any more new-

FML. guess I'll wait until tomorrow...

It's hard to compare Xenogears in 1998 to the success of the blade games now. Gears was competing against a very different JRPG environment back then that was dominated by the massive success of FF7. In terms of raw numbers it was good but it was still a more niche PS1 RPG back then.
