silent hill f is actually quite a lengthy game if you're a gigantic pussy like myself and have to constantly pause the game because a light rustling in the distance freaked you out

i literally went up to my final fantasy (series)-playing housemate doing the soyjak pointing face when i met bahamut in ff1

Rise of the Ronin:
only finished the first map and approximately 83% of my 300 screenshots are of Taka Murayama, 10/10

Wolfenstein: The New Order:
why did people ever get sick of wwii shooters, killing nazis is fucking sick

umamusume:
bakushin

Warcraft 1 & 2:
it was cool to see some names that come up again in WC3, i guess. not much there otherwise. 1 was a fucking slog gameplay-wise and 2 was okay.

South of Midnight:
yeah the gameplay kinda sucks, but the story's alright and there's some fun tunes so i enjoyed my time with it

quick thoughts on some games i've played this year

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33:
pretty good and probably my favourite 2025 release so far, but there's a lot of little things that add up to keep me from truly loving it

retro video games are just anything that came out before i was 10

oestrogen must be doing some fucking wild things to my brain because i'm seeing videos of kids being cute and thinking "maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have one of my own"

Act III: This City Made Us, by The Protomen 2 track album

the 2020s are redeemed

arret lorepost:
Andrew W.K. once personally blessed me with the Power of Party

i can't believe red vs blue has gone woke

expanding my literary palate with some classic video game tie-in novels

better to cum in the shower than to shower in the cum

found out about soulseek yesterday and found a bunch of obscure stuff i'd lost and been searching for again for years which is neat, but the real high is that one guy who downloaded a single song from the middle of an album i shared

we finally get Warcraft IV but the only playable factions are murlocs and pandaren (it's immediately announced game of the century)

mfw Americans call it rock paper scissors instead of paper scissors rock

soranamae au ra lewds is the highest tier of art

every stranger I've told about my stroke has said "oh, shit, I'm sorry" and I every time I think of the gay woodsmen

if i were Celene i would simply admit to loving elven pussy instead of burning thousands of people alive

girl who spent all week playing Resident Evil catching up on Dawntrail patch series: getting big Resident Evil vibes here

decided to make my first pokemon game in years a nuzlocke and i went into it so confident, and now 5/6 of my main party are dead in the second city

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

despite generally liking roguelites i was hesitant to try umamusume because i know myself and gacha games, but i finally gave in and am now fully bakushin-pilled

Takarazuka Revue does Muv-Luv

reading reviews for a movie i just watched and loved and realising once again that i am the only person with good taste

Persona 4 had maybe three decent characters stuck with a boring plot and gameplay but if Atlus came out and said if Revival sells well they'd maybe possibly consider doing FeMC for Reload I'd buy seven copies

somehow managed to avoid spoilers for John Wick 4 until watching it just now and wow is that ending immediately undercut by going to the Wikipedia page and seeing John Wick 5 is in production

heard a cool song from a band that I'd never heard of so I excitedly checked out the rest of their stuff and it's all Unkle Adams metal

always funny seeing people argue for game cutscenes to be 30fps because it's more cinematic like cinema is doing 24fps as an artistic choice and not as a convention that came from a compromise between smooth motion and the cost of film

once mentioned to the hairdresser i was turning 18 soon and she asked if i was going to [local strip club] to celebrate, i'd never heard of the place so i just said "yeah, maybe" and she laughed. later found out what it was and over a decade later it's still the most embarrassed i've ever been.
