lotte the woz ra mastery pretty good game, kinda weird about being a dog or whatever. kinda performs weird at certain spots and the game called me a slur when i game overed. would recommend! 99/100

superman: the new aventures (superman 64) ra mastery i enjoy playing this game for some god awful reason. it's really bad, forced to release to recoup any of their dev cost, and just not fun at some points. but i can't get myself to hate it. however the emulation of it is god awful ugh. 67/100

sooper wooper 64 ra mastery you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. true alpha male pokémon. the pinnacle of power. 97/100

pokémon rumble - weekend edition ra mastery a much more enjoyable experience, mostly because EX and GX have had their roll costs modified to the point that it's an infinite money machine to get new mons. ex4 is still tough but having more varied options was fun! thank you absolblogspokemon! 96/100

pokémon rumble ra mastery/ra professor oak challenge mastery this is such a delightful game, chill vibes, repetetive yet addicting gameplay loop. spamming iron tail is a fun time... but EX4... that is the single most evil thing i've played in recent memory... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh 94//100

banjo-kazooie ra mastery started this on a whim, unaware of the horrors hidden in this set. beating grunty without taking a hit was a stupid, albeit rewarding, challenge that pairs well with the no life bar extensions. anyways fuck rusty bucket bay and click clock wood. :) 95/100

mario party (n64) ra mastery definitely not my favorite mario party game, but god damn is it still fun to play.... but then again maybe i'm a sicko who did several 4p 1 controller games at 50 turns to grind the coins to buy all the unlocks. anyways fun time~ 97/100

pokémon green youngster joey ra challenge my rattata is in the top percentage of rattata. only through superior training can you find tms for body slam, dig, and blizzard to compliment the very good hyper fang move on your top tier rat. fun time, now to do the other types for this set. 100/100

monster hunter stories 2: wings of ruin okay so they took the first game, right, and improved the gameplay tenfold. not the deepest system for a turn based rpg by any means but still this is a bump up from the previous game. the story and monster selection are also excellent. 100/100

monster hunter stories phenomenal little turn based rpg. the combat system is really cool, and all the kinship skills are cool as heck. the story is also really cool imo... why is it always the red head that wants power? 100/100

monster hunter rise replay so like, i'm going for fcing the achievos in this game, just beat the allmother so i'm making this post now. this is my favorite monster hunter. the hunts are fun, so are wirebugs. i genuinely like the story and the whole village is lovely. i am a luck bastard. 100/100

gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun (rewatch) absolutely one of my fav anime, every bit in this show is executed so well, there's never a moment of "dreading a bad bit" because there's no bad bits. please make time to watch this, whether you've seen it before or not~ 100/100

whisper of the heart rewatch still one of my fav movies. very cozy, just what i needed to get inspired for the new year! please watch this movie, just a fun time to be had~ 100/100

Favs of 2025: Played: Xenoblade X Definitive Edition Watched: Secret World of Arriety Other: Love Bullet honorable mentions: KH Re:CoM, will hopefully wrap it up and complete it this year and get chugging at KH2 anticipated thing of 2026: give me ffxiv 8.0, i'm so excited to see where it goes~

ffxiv: dawntrail patch 7.4 - into the mist msq this patch is so fucking good dude. the story, the dungeon, the trial, all peak. and the after scene is so fucking good i can't say anything about it but oooo i'm getting revved up for 8.0 baybee let's go love the mets. 100/100

kingdom hearts re:chain of memories replay a really interesting take on converting kh combat into a game about cards. i actually like this game more than kh2 at present, unsure if that'll stay true when i replay kh2. anyways time to do rick story and full clear the game. HE SAID THE THING! 100/100

love bullet vol. 1 extremely cute! like holy shit this is such a cute premise and i was very much enjoying the first half... then... iT DECIDED TO RIP MY HEART OUT AND STOMP ON IT BEFORe gently returning it to it's proper place and gave it a little kiss to make it feel better... read this. 100/100

Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution it just doesn't hit the same as the original, from different framing on shots to certain animations feeling limp while trying to recreate the original 2d animations. the art style is also off putting to me but that's not a knock necessarily... 70/100

the boy and the heron rewatch, ghiblifest 2025 still a top notch movie, and more things connected properly this watch through. love this movie so much, even if it can confuse people initially with how much it throws at you. //i forgot dave bautista is the VA for the parrot king 100/100

pokémon legends: z-a replay, shiny team quest still a phenomenal game, did this playthrough so i can catch another zygarde for my living dex. i love pretty much everything about this game and i am hopeful for pokémon games moving forward! 100/100

pokémon legends: z-a a wonderful experience. as someone who was mostly just lukewarm to XY, this has brought attention to how much they WANTED to do with kalos, but for one reason or another it didn't happen. i'm glad we got this game. i love pokémon so much, i look forward to the future! 100/100

nichijou this anime is a masterful execution of bits. the characters are all wonderful, some more frustrating than others, but like in a good way. feels good to have finally watched this fully, been one of my favorite things to just see clips of for forever. 100/100

monster hunter world replay fun game, it's monster hunter still, even with the focus on making it seem more... grandios then previous entries. there is less whimsy in this game than other titles but i still enjoyed my time~ playtime for this save: 48h 97/100

monster hunter: wilds replay like, this is a stellar game for sure. a bit weird to replay since it is so focused on the story in low rank, but hunting is fun. the weapon tree changes are a very QoL thing i like as a collector of weapons. still super fun imo. the ending of LR is still raw af 98/100

uma musume: pretty derby season 1 a wonderful show, spe-chan is great, the writing and trials in place are really solid, all the girls are oomfies... need i say more. go watch if you like the horse girl game. :3 100/100

grave of the fireflies theater ghiblifest thingie this is literally the ghibli film i just can't recommend to everyone without fail. not for it's lack of quality, but because it's themes are so heavy and dark... war's only export is death, death to you and everyone around you. 100/100

ffxiv dawntrail patch 7.3: the promise of tomorrow beautifully executed story, fun fights, the trial was fucking awesome and i can't wait to do the rest of the content~ :3 //image is a shot from the trailer but it's still marked to make sure no one is spoiled 100/100

pokémon violet the teal mask (replay) still a fun little adventure. carmine and kiki are very typical siblings, and unfortunately we led to kiki's... downfall? i dunno i wish we didn't give in to going along with carmine's lies, but it's what happened and now i'm at blueberry... reaping. 99/100

summer wars (theater viewing) this is absolutely my favorite movie ever. just go watch it. no notes beyond, koi-koi. 10000/10

pokémon violet shiny team playthrough first time i've actually beat violet, despite beating scarlet a few times. the switch 2 patch goes hard and i love all my oomfies and area zero was so full of pokémon it was a little scary. if you have a switch 2 play this. :3 100/100

donkey kong: bananza no notes. "donkey kong bananza is truly perfect, if you do not get this amazing new generation of donkey kong madness, you are stupid. yes, i know that's insulting, but it's also the truth." -George Wood probably 100/100

the secret world of arriety this movie is so good, i think it's my favorite ghibli film. not overly bombastic, just a quiet little movie with a couple twists and turns. please watch this movie! 100/100

mario kart world update got 3 stars in every grand prix and knockout tour, including mirror mode. still a phenomenal game, though very chaotic if stuck in the pack in an almost negative way... like it's hard to get a rhythm outside of the front. 98/100

lilo & stitch (2002) rewatch beautiful movie, animation wise and story wise. stitch's growth from evil littol creechur to "model citizen" is so good. and the ending is just so good, like... WHAT WERE THEY THINKING IN THE REMAKE????? please watch this movie~ 100/100

Mario Kart World Staff Credits/Beat all GPs insane video game, the amount of little details and quirks in this game is honestly breaking my brain a bit. loved every minute of those Grand Prix races. now to play the rest of the game~ 100/100

combo breaker 2025 had fun! got to meet some friends who i have only interacted with online. minus points because i had like 4 or 5 self inflicted mental breakdowns. hopefully next year is better! ;v; 90/100

kiki's delivery service (rewatch, theater) such a cozy movie. kiki is adorable and one of my fav ghibli leads. i think this is my second fav ghibli movie behind whisper of the heart. 100/100

honkai: star rail - xianzhou luofu excellent story, fun fights and mechanics, honestly a little upset with myself i didn't play this on release. can't wait to jump into the next story beat... just need to clean up some side quests~ 100/100

wolf children (theater viewing) beautiful movie. stunning animation. hana's struggles and the way she copes by smiling is very touching! ame and yuki are adorable and their struggles are ones very unique to them. god i think this is an all timer for me. 100/100

honaki: star rail - belebog storyline (replay) still a very fun game, kindof been obsessing over it the past week and a half. i really do enjoy the combat of these games and the challenege to reward ratio is very well balanced i feel. WE MADE A CHOICE GO FIGHT AGAINST YOUR FATE! 98/100

catch me if you can wondeful little movie. i really enjoyed the non linear storytelling going on throughout. also the credits music is WHIMSICAL JAZZ. watch this movie if you like seeing some good comedy bits~ 95/100

pokémon the movie 2000 rewatch a step lower than movie 3 for sure, but still a fun little adventure. the main villain is really dumb, but you can tell he's evil because his giant floating fortress is 3D. only villains are in 3D during a 2D animated movie. 96/100

xenoblade chronicles x: definitive edition (100% map completion) i love this game so much, finally getting to do some of the segments i never did back in 2015 on wiiu was incredible. the new story bits were wonderful and the final final boss was fucking hype! play xenoblade x, please! 1000000/100

xenoblade chronicles x: definitive edition words cannot convey how much i love this game. from the music to the story to the gameplay, all of it just clicks with me. please give this game a chance, it's a different game than xenoblades 1 2 or 3, but it brings me joy like nothing else. 10000/100

princess mononoke IMAX experience definitely not my favorite, but still a phenomonal and gorgeous movie. I love ashitaka's journey and how his character grew and rose up to the challenges he faced. god there was so much detached limbs and decapitations. the imax experience was neato~ 100/100

pokemon 3: the movie rewatch still a wonderful little movie! the concept of a world shaped by dreams is super fascinating in the pokemon setting, wish we'd see more stuff like this, i think it would slap in the game series! also the johto journeys op remix just slaps so there's that too~ 98/100

monster hunter wilds (credits) phenomonal game, played mostly IG with a smammering of hammering on a singular boss. i very much enjoyed the story for what it was, the walk and talks were a bit dry, until i learned you could grapple items as you passed them. but now, IT IS TIME TO GRIND! 99/100

final fantasy xiv: dawntrail patch 7.1 msq very fun patch story, starts off a bit heavy, getting a bit fucked up for a bit, then it becomes heartwarming.... then right back to fucked up and evil. anyways it feels nice to be caught up again. 98/100

final fantasy xiv: dawntrail role quest series very fun quest lines. the stories were a bit silly, but i very much feel the moments gravity keep the moments of levity in a good balance. overall good, kindof hope the next expac's role quests have a similar energy. 98/100

baka and test: summon the beasts season 01 still a wonderful watch, couple of jokes fell flat over time, but i love this concept and the overall messaging by the end. i wish i could summon a cute littol avatar of me and be cool and stuff. THOSE WHO DIED, MEET ME IN THE REMEDIAL CLASSROOM! 98/100
