Watched Fallout Season 2, still good.

Something I have noticed happening more with videogame publishers, they are hiring smaller teams that are famous for making successful indie games to just make new games in their franchise because big AAA development teams are now so large they are incapable of just making and releasing a game.

Attempt 2 of finding a Discord replacement. Today: Teamspeak. Layout is different, some things feel funky to get used to but the functionality is there. The catch being that if you are not sending messages, having voicecall and screensharing inside a server, there is a delay.

Discord is in the process of imploding less than a year after it went public and appointed a former Vice Chairman at Activision Blizzard as their CEO (What a surprise). So currently looking into Steam's Voice Chat/Group Chat/Screensharing functionality.

Begging Toho to let someone destribute all the Heisei Godzilla movies in a single blu-ray collection complete with all the Noriyoshi Ohrai poster art as the box set covers.

Think I just figured out why Halo 3 feels better than all the others to play. All the guns have slow bullet travel and are simuated projectiles.

Haikyuu is finaly getting decent blu-ray releases, more people should watch Haikyuu, its great.

Watched Send Help. Or as I now know it. High masking autistic lady gets to live our her hyperfixation of surviving on a deserted island. Pretty good.

Watched Gamera The Brave. Very sweet, probably would have loved this as a little kid. How has this franchised layed dormant for 20 years?

Dear gamedevs, If you release your game and it says this on the steam page, I am not playing it.

Watched 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, on par with the last one, great film. Wonderful contemplation on empathy towards the mentaly ill and how faith can corrupt.

Watched Gamera: Super Monster. Embarrasing movie, nothing but reused footage from all the other movies and random anime clips, it looks and sounds worse than all the other movies, could not even finish it.

Watched Gamera vs Zigra, just more of the same, not quite as lame as kids in a random set pushing buttons but nothing special.

Watched Gamera vs Jiger, not the worst, not the best.

Watched Gamera vs Guiron (1969), the script borrows alot of elements from the last one in which the final act is just two children on a set just pressing buttons at random to help Gamera fight big bad monster, still very weak.

Watched Gamera Vs Viras, now this one is ROUGH...even for the 60s this movie feels cheap and rushed. Just very little setup and payoff, alot of following children around a single room set for most of the movie.

Watched Gamera vs Gyaos, probably the most fun to watch of the first three films. Also it feels like the producers figured out what rear projection is for this film, its all over the place to varying effect.

Watched Gamera vs. Barugon, weaker than the first, Gamera is barely in it and they spend alot of time repeating plotpoints ad nausium.

Watched Gamera: The Giant Monster (1965) Clearly a godzilla ripoff but its got some fun stuff. My biggest reaction is just when Gamera flies into an air control tower at mach speed.

Why is the logo for every single Apple TV show/movie white with plain font?

Feel like theirs a wave of people using AI to generate comic strips with the most agreeable message ever to try and sneak through people's feeds unblocked. Let me make this clear, I am blocking your AI BS regardless of what it says.

Watched Avatar: Fire and Ash. I continue to find something in these movies to love but never the whole thing. Also there's a shot in the third act that feels like a direct reference to Evangelion but I have no way to prove it.

Watched Relay, interesting concept but doesn't really stick the landing in the third act in my opinion, add this the pile of "Quiet dude becomes fascinated by Lily James" movies, relatable to be honest.

Watched The Tank (Der Tiger), not bad. I understood what the story was doing about 15 minutes in. Trying to humanise Nazis in WW2 whilst making it clear they arn't the good guys probably wasn't the easiest task so I at least respect the movie for that.

Don't share my blu-rays on here often but I can't not with this one. I originally only bought the Heisei Gamera boxset as I had only seen those movies but the art matches and looks great with the Showa boxset so I got that too. Box art makes a difference people, don't half ass it.

Finished Stranger Things, pretty good, I can understand people taking issue with the episode runtime but with such a large cast they sorta need them to be that long to give everyone the character time they need I think.

Just beat FTL: Faster Than Light on Normal difficulty. Proud of myself.

Top 10 Movies I Watched in 2025 - A Thread:

When streaming become commonplace, I gave it a chance under the advertised idea of convinience, I had wholesale adopted listening to music on Youtube, tentatively paid for netflix and Amazon prime video, and streamed a videogame one However, in the past decade, it has only gotten worse. (1/2)

Every time I try and learn more about using Excel beyond writing things in the boxes and creating styles to apply to different boxes I highlight, I lose my mind, it's the most incomprehensible nonsense ever. Why is there seemingly no inbetween step from this and writing formulaes in the boxes.

Actually insane to me that anyone on Bluesky as a platform is out here trying to defend Generative AI when they are all only here because they fled the platform that destroyed itself with Generative AI.

See alot of people debating when game developers talk about AI use in videogames and whether or not "generative AI" is what they meant. Heres my rule of thumb, if a developer is talking possitive about AI use and arnt explicitely rule out generative AI...THEN THAT MEANS THEY ARE USING GEN AI.

Watched The War Between the Land and the Sea, its good. Very well directed and edited. Dialogue writing could have used some work but its all delivered with such a level of sincerity that it works for me. I can imagine it not working for some, you either buy into it 100% or you wont like it.

Finished My Hero Academia, compared to most shonen, its lows arnt nearly as low as they could be and its highs are great, the final two seasons are phenominal and the ending is very heartfelt. Been a long time since I finished an anime that long, loved it.

If YouTube doesnt start seperating livestreams actual video uploads in my subscription feed, I am just going to start unsubscribing from people at this point. I do not want 10, 6 hour long videos littering my subscriptions every morning.

Netflix is buying Warner, they have said "Theatre windows will 'evolve' " I predict this means all their movies will get a 1 week limited release and then be dumped and forgetten on streaming. Before this happens I need to make it clear I am still going to cinemas, with or without these movies. 1/2

I continue to be terrible at wrapping christmas presents.

Newest One Punch Man episode was not too bad honestly, if it turns out they backloaded all the staff/time to the second half of the season that would be weird. Either way its clear the studio is trying its absolute hardest with not enough resources.

Still thinking about how if Transforers One was paced just a LITTLE more slowly I probably would have liked it WAY more.

Watched The Thing With Feathers, was worried from he trailers tha they were going to treat...well...the thing with feathers in the movie too mmetaphorically, happy it goes all the way with it, very well lit movie too.

Watched Sisu: Road to Vengence, very fun, shot like a classic action movie and feels like one too, the ending geniunely made me tear up.

Firefox just updated and now the right click enu looks like this: I seriously just want the technology that worked 20 fucking years ago to fuction again, its so very tiring. Non of the selections are displaying properly except the one NOBODY FUCKING WANTS.

I wish the AI bubble would hurry up and burst already so I can buy a normal new tv again.

40+ years of the Golden Joystick awards and they still havent hired a professional audio engineer, thats crazy.

Watched The Running Man (2025). To start, the characters are memorable, the world feels real and seemless, at no point was i dragged out of the expirience and performances were good. First 20 minutes is a really great setup. However, it feels lacking, a little sterile, cant put my finger on it.

Valve just continues to be the best damn tech copany on the planet, its like its run by actual humans that know what humans want, seriously this shouldn't be as rare as it is.

One Punch Man Season 3 has axctually managed to still make me laugh whether its intentional or not. I have heard the Garou theme played about 20 times to the point where I know exactly when it is coming and chuckle every time it happens on cue.

Watched Predator: Badlands. Pretty good. while I feel it is a little more intentionally palatable for wider audiences, it still does a really good job of being a competently written and well made movie. I just hope the future of Predator is still unique and weird.

Finaly got the platinum for RE1 remake, still one of the best games ever made and amazingly not even my favorite Resident Evil.

I feel I have been saying "I do not want to rent or stream videogames, I would like to buy them, own them and play them on the machine that I own" for about 15 years now and every games platform appart from Steam or GOG has been removing alternative options and trying to force it down my throat.
