8 - Cortex by Relay

I’m not normally a fan of podcasts, but man, this is so good. Already a massive fan of CGP Grey and so this is just ear candy for several hours at a time. Already changed so many dials of my life and started a yearly theme because of this. I’m totally gonna keep listening

7 - White Angels Have No Wings

Man. What the fuck. I don’t have anything else to say. Jesus fucking christ.

6 - Phasmophobia

Man, I thought I’d like this game more than I did. Maybe it was because of the fact that I was playing with really experienced players, but this was just not fun. I was really bored for most of it and had no idea what I was doing. Horror games are not my thing anyway, but man.

5 - Sonic x Shadow Generations

I played Sonic Generations a while ago, and the Shadow Generations part of the game is fucking phenomenal. The hub world is great, and the levels feel like the good 3D Sonic days. I might actually be inspired to finish Frontiers now. We’ll see.

4 - The Godfather Part III (1990)

Man. What a sad ending to such a tragic story. This was definitely not as good as the first two parts, but this is still a wonderful franchise. Michael got exactly what he deserved, and this is pretty much how I expected the story to end. So glad I watched it.

3 - Yakuza 0

I can’t believe it took me 5 years and 2 restarts to beat this game. The story is fucking phenomenal, and while some of the combat is lackluster, I really enjoyed this game. This is why my backlog project exists. Majima and Makoto are the most lesbian-coded straight pairing ever btw

2 - The Godfather Pt 2 (1974)

What a fantastic sequel to the original. I would say that this is worse than the first, but it’s tough to beat that. Seeing Michael’s descent into madness with Vito’s ascent into power was so interesting to watch. I can definitely see why these movies are so popular

1 - The Godfather (1972)

This was the first time I watched this movie (definitely not because of Yakuza) and holy shit it was a wonderful way to end off 2024. I haven’t felt legitimately nervous from a scene in years, and the hit scene on Sollozzo and McCluskey does just that. Fucking fantastic

This is probably one of the only things I will use Bluesky for this year, but here is my 2025 media thread! This will really be me yapping about the random stuff I watch and play, and I hope to god I can keep up with it this year

I think I might actually be the top @hudsonlee.bsky.social listener LOL I am normal about this

Unironically, Gladiator 2 was a well deserved sequel, and I can’t remember the last time I legitimately believed that. I think it is definitely weaker than the first but it doesn’t feel like a money grabbing retcon lmao

I’d like to start a 2025 media thread when 2025 actually starts (lol) but man before that. I just watched the original Gladiator movie and it was fucking fantastic. I haven’t had a movie suck me in so fast, it is legitimately wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone

If anyone has ideas for games I should play let me know, I’m open to pretty much anything at this point but know my ass will not get to it for a while

youtu.be/s3Ey6BH8jGM?...

Watching videos like this makes me wanna pick up my backlog spreadsheet again and also start a media thread on this again, I think I’ll start a new one up for 2025 when my schedule starts becoming reasonable again

Had the wonderful thought that if all Megas (and Primals) were included in PLZA along with all Kalos Pokemon (see PLA having all Sinnoh Pokemon) we know about 182 Pokemon in the dex already. Kinda crazy ngl

Well, I’m on this app and I have no idea how much I’m gonna use it. Probably just going to use it to ramble about Pokemon when I remember it exists
