110) the legend of zelda: a link to the past

this game is considered the gold standard of 2D zelda for a reason. while i don't think it's the best of the series, it's still an amazing game even nearly 35 years later

rating: 8/10

109) madonna - erotica

for the most part i really enjoyed this one

favorite song: bye bye baby, thief of hearts, rain

rating: 7.25/10
spotify link: open.spotify.com/album/1a2NoE...

(2/2) -just buzzing sounds. this sounds like an album straight out of silent hill. at least amber waves is an absolute masterpiece

favorite song: vacillator, amber waves

108) ethel cain - perverts

(1/2) look i love ethel cain, and from an artistic perspective i love this project too! but eventually as a halfway-objective music critic i do have to judge it on its own merits, and i mean... come on, one of the songs literally has 10+ minutes of-

(2/2) favorite song: fuck me eyes, dust bowl, tempest, waco texas

107) ethel cain - willoughby tucker, i'll always love you

(1/2) i genuinely cannot believe what i just listened to. not an album i'll come back to very often but i'll be damned if it isn't one of the best i've ever heard.

YouTube video by AurumAlex Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Are Confusing.

I replayed Pokémon Ultra Sun and, to my surprise, had fun. Unfortunately, some of that fun was undermined when the game started asking scintillating questions like "let's tacitly justify Pokémon torture" and "Lillie is useless."

Oh. Neither of those were questions, were they?

106) hollow knight: silksong

my actual serious thoughts are in my backloggd review but if you want the sparknotes version i think this an amazing metroidvania for masochists and people who genuinely hate themselves

rating: 9.5/10

between winning a beef by doing absolutely nothing and having at least 3 allusions to her on album of the year blue valentine, this month has proven once again that this is charli xcx’s world and we’re all just living in it

105) nmixx - blue valentine

this album was so fucking good i literally fell out of my chair during reality hurts and SOL cuz i physically could not handle the euphoria. AND THIS IS ONLY THEIR FIRST ALBUM?

favorite song: yes

rating: 10/10

(2/2) -magdalena bay, who alongside nmixx and kendrick lamar is one of the few artists i still have unshakable faith in. if imaginal disk and this are any indication their next album may genuinely be the greatest of all time

rating: 8/10
spotify link: open.spotify.com/album/3EdUtc...

104) magdalena bay - second sleep/star eyes

(1/2) now normally i wouldn't add a single release featuring only 2 songs to my thread but in a year as agonizingly painful for new music as 2025 i will sing the praises of anyone who manages to drop music i actually enjoy, especially-

LMFAOOOOO YES IT’S A REAL SONG AND YES IT’S ACTUALLY THAT BAD

(3/3)

least favorite song: eldest daughter, actually romantic, wi$h li$t, wood, cancelled! (oh god cancelled), honey

rating: 0.5/10
spotify link: open.spotify.com/album/4a6NzY...

(2/3) -that she could release nothing but reds and folklores for the rest of her career and still never fully recover from this. i won't pretend like it has no redeeming qualities, a couple of the tracks i enjoyed but the lows of this album far, FAR outweigh the highs.

103a) taylor swift - the life of a showgirl

(1/3) the more this album settles into my psyche, the worse it gets. this is worse than just a bad album, this is heresy. this is absolute blasphemy against everything the old taylor supposedly stood for. this album is so egregious-

taylor swift this is all your fucking fault

as someone who’s been a swiftie since pretty much the day of their birth i gotta say: @shadowtodd.bsky.social i cannot wait for your trainwreckords on TLOAS in like 3 years

103) taylor swift - the life of a showgirl

i'm glad to see taylor rewarded my last year and a half screaming TTPD's praises from the rooftops by writing songs even i can't defend. honestly, bottom 3 taylor as of now

rating: 6.5/10

sorry i didn't rly enjoy this one as much

now that my rewatch of the series is done, here's my saw movie tierlist for the 4 people who care

101) saw X

i implore you to read my letterboxd review cuz i yapped so, SO much. this is the best saw movie and it's not even close

rating: 9/10
letterboxd link: letterboxd.com/terramakes/f...

100) spiral: from the book of saw

i don't think it's as bad as some fans might say. like saw 4, not the best saw movie but definitely not the worst. more thoughts in letterboxd review

rating: 5.5/10
letterboxd link: letterboxd.com/terramakes/f...

99) jigsaw

an ok saw movie completely ruined by an egregiously bad twist that's somehow even worse than 3D's, and a pretty insufferable trap plot

rating: 5/10

98) madonna - true blue

was madonna the first music ragebaiter? it's more likely than you think

favorite song: papa don't preach, live to tell, la isla bonita

the rough draft of my essay is due in less than 24 hours and i STILL cannot bring myself to work on it. it's like forcing students to take classes that are completely unrelated to their major is inherently a bad idea or smth
