A switch flipped, and I spent almost eight solid hours doing Sudoku puzzles without really thinking about the time. I might need to stop.

Many times, I have seen it suggested Izutsumi was shoehorned into Dungeon Meshi, despite the fact that she was always planned to be a part of the main cast. Before it became a series, Ryoko Kui made a Dungeon Meshi one-shot that presents the same main cast and core premise. This included Izutsumi.

Rereading Dungeon Meshi, all the bonus chapters, and the supplemental materials front to back was amazing. But also a mistake because it is that I can think about now. Better rewatch the anime, I guess.

After playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I have to say that my opinion on this has only been reinforced. Exploring in that game is an absolute fucking nightmare. Some expeditioners. Cannot even chart their own maps.

Beat Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Going to start calling it Ouinoblade Chronicles 3. I may not elaborate. Game good, though.

I hope that Ryoko Kui continues to author bonus chapters like she did for each of the bonus chapters included with the Dungeon Meshi season one Blu-ray releases. Plus, it would be neat to have all of those compiled into something that I can actually own.

I have sympathy for Geoff Keighley losing both his father and his home. However, he used his platform to talk about his own personal struggles more than he has ever used it to bring light to the injustices in the industry these past several years. He is beholden to those responsible for injustice.

Finished my Dungeon Meshi reread. Polished it off like a good meal. Still one of my favorite endings ever.

Actual image from the Game Awards.

Almost halfway through volume eight. 52 chapters down, so that means I have reached where season one of the anime ends. I already knew it, but this series rules.

Starting my Dungeon Meshi reread properly. We feasting.

The urge to reread Dungeon Meshi is slowly overtaking me.

Just finished watching Apocalypse Hotel. Lots of things to love about this series, which I will describe as a gag anime with a lot of heart. Episode 9 was a rollercoaster of emotions, but episode 11 was that one episode that I think every series needs. It lets you quietly sit and take in everything.

It seems that a lot of people who have watched Dungeon Meshi season one are unaware that the second season was already announced the moment the first one concluded. It has always been coming. There is even a teaser trailer. The only thing to wait on is a release date.

I got a really late birthday present from my parents. A Kotobukiya model kit of the Formula Skell from Xenoblade Chronicles X. I slapped it together these past several hours between tasks. I still have to place decals on it, but I will worry about that later.

Nintendo taking away Link's hat because "it is not cool" ignores the fact that Link has been able to pull it off for decades, and very few people questioned it because he made it cool. They are not going to give him the hat in the movie, are they?

The one thing that I really want from the Super Mario Galaxy movie is for Professor E. Gadd to appear and make Luigi's life a living hell. He is one of the most entertaining Mario characters. He has the same energy as Billy Crystal in that one scene from The Princess Bride.

The sky outside was looking a little funky.

My cat is so entranced by a Xenoblade lore video. Luxin speaking at 2x speed must be captivating.

I love Square-Enix games, truly, but if they stay this course, they can just die then.

Not sure how much it counts, but when I see a repost of someone else's content, I try to find the original poster to share it from their account, especially if it is a screenshot of the original post. I wish that I could do this 100% of the time. I make exceptions for memes of well-known origins.

I am worried that I will live my entire life and never experience an anime that hits quite the same as Mushi-Shi. Mononoke was the only thing to come close.

October 18th is not just my birthday. According to Wikipedia, the one and only Shadow of the Colossus released on this day 20 years ago. This game means so much to me and I'm sure a lot of gamers felt the same way after finishing the game for the first time.

I wonder if anyone assumes that I am trans because I have an Izutsumi PFP. Like it is a noticeably common combination.

I have been seeing these opinions expressing games should not have mini-maps or waypoints. It seems that games that would typically have these features have been without them in more recent years. I get some people do not want them, but I do. I would rather spend less time in menus and map screens.

The universe after its heat death: ... Ancient Dragon Ball Z game: New Goku just dropped.

Terra and Magitek for the Final Fantasy #CollabCalibre! I feel like drawing a Magitek is a challenge I have to do every to do every few years (didn't have time rn but I'm gonna animate this one eventually!) [ #finalfantasy #ff6 #ffvi #crunchyblorbos ]

I think it is pretty neat that another Fire Emblem game is on the way, and nothing will stop me from feeling good about it.

I beat Silksong. Like actually beat it. It was hard, and I died a lot, but there were several times that I got sick of the abuse and locked in. And I have to say that the final ending of Silksong made the final ending of Hollow Knight even better. What an amazing game.

We can do better. We can go for 100%.

Sometimes I wish that my closest friends were into more of the same things as me. They are still my friends either way because our camaraderie is nothing superficial. However, when I get excited about things, there are no others that I would rather get hyped with. At least they humor me on occasion.

Slight spoilers. Being a sequel, Silksong absolutely expects for you to have played Hollow Knight to understand its lore and implications. It is amazing how much of the reveals come directly from Hornet's dialogue. She is casually drops more lore than Hollow Knight did on a surface level.

Been watching Twin Peaks, so I made my own Red Room.

Honestly, good on some of these companies for refusing to ship to the United States in the midst of this tariff bullshit. Their customers should not have to be burdened with the cost, and the current government cannot be trusted to use the tax revenue for something that benefits the country.

I love Masahiro Sakurai's conversational approach to his presentations, mostly because he says some uncanny things that only he would say, and he gets hung up on details that I think anyone else would ignore. I like him for it.

Watching Harry McEntire stream the finale of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.

I hope the next Super Smash Bros. gives as much love to alternate costumes as what was given to Sora. His alts did not look like simple recolors. They were faithful recreations of his different outfits. I want that for other characters with long histories of various character designs. Like Samus.

Today is the one year anniversary of the day I got my cat Milton. This is him the day he came home versus now. What a handsome lad.

Watched the KBash video on the Valkyria Chronicles series. I have only played the first and fourth games, and I was hoping to try the others someday. Less so now. In a way, it is nice to know that I have already experienced the best of the series. Those games rule.

Donkey Kong Bananza is phenomenal, but I know how this goes. Give it a year, if even that, and several people who thought it was the best thing ever are going to suddenly change their minds and try to convince others that it is a bad game, actually.

If you do not leave your house every day looking like an overdesigned JRPG character, are you even trying?
