Él - It takes a while to get going, but overall a suspenseful, well directed and performed melodrama. 8/10

What is it with Dragon Age 2 companions criticising Hawke’s romantic choices?

Lorena definitely has figured out what Anders is doing and is going along with it

This time I’m actually going with Anders’ plan, Lorena’s being for mage rights outweighs her annoyance at him trying to guilt trip her into doing all this.

⚡️

Anders, you’re brave or stupid to be questioning Lorena about her interest in Merrill

Oh here we go

Sebastian why are you like this

This time I actually received full rivalry with Sebastian and so got his Questioning Beliefs, and he wants Lorena to be viscount for some reason.

Oh you have no idea lmao

Nathaniel incoming

Well look who it is…

Lorena Hawke doing the classic BioWare Drink

Oh goodie the docks are looking back to normal now, it doesn’t look blacked out.

Zap

Lorena just really felt like killing him

What do you think of the username OnyxValkyrie (or something similar)?

I'm gonna need to come up with a couple of new usernames across different social medias tbh

My ★★★★ review of Evil Dead Burn (2026) boxd.it/fchAEX

REVIEW: Evil Dead Burn has a very rocky start, it isn’t quite as gnarly or mean as it was trying to be at times, and it is the weakest of the series. But it still has its visceral and brutal moments, is slickly directed, and the performances are solid. the-cinema-critic.com/2026/07/19/e...

Tom Holland was great in The Odyssey

The Odyssey - Outstanding and engaging epic, incredibly performed by its stellar cast, and masterfully directed. One of the very best of the year, and one of Christopher Nolan’s best. 10/10

I was thinking about coming up with a new username and was considering having Valkyrie as part of it, but felt like it would either come across as too try-hard or giving off white supremacy vibes s

Today

Kasaanda Adaar being best friends with Solas until she gets the ick after his “you’re one of the good Qunari” conversation

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die - Messy, overstuffed, with commendable (if one note) anti-ai satire, and elevated by a solid cast and dynamic direction 8/10

My ★★★★½ review of The Invite (2026) boxd.it/faexsZ

REVIEW: The Invite is hilarious, witty, bittersweet, sharply written, wonderfully directed, and with incredible performances. One of the best of the year. the-cinema-critic.com/2026/07/17/t...

It is kinda funny that both Inquisition and Veilguard feature protagonists from the previous games but they didn’t think to include similar hair/scars/etc options so they could be easily reproduced in the CC

It is funny that for all the variety of CC choices in Veilguard, there’s no red eye option and literally had to use a bug/glitch in order to get red eyes and properly replicate Luna Lavellan from Inquisition

REVIEW: Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War is a very generic and forgettable, but functional and competent enough action thriller. the-cinema-critic.com/2026/07/15/t...

My ★★★ review of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War (2026) letterboxd.com/jokercritic/...

An unintentionally funny moment in Inquisition for me was when when a few people at Val Royeaux see the Inquisitor and get scared and run away. Varric says “I think they all know who we are”, Luna probably just responded with “No, I think it’s just me. I get that a lot”

I do hope The Invite does get some awards attention at least.

Going to an auction for a house next week but nervous for it.

Yuffie has joined the party. And I know I played as her in her special episode but quite surprised at how powerful she is in gameplay, I’m like shredding enemies as her.

Sometimes somebody famous dies and I panic. Stop, wait, did they know they were so admired? Did they know they made things that moved us? In this case, yes. I feel, right away, yes.

I am going to explode

I think my fave non Morrigan related lore for Kieran Cousland is him holding such a grudge against Alistair for stepping back and forcing the younger less skilled warden take the lead on their quest that it drove him to push him to become king full knowing he didn’t want it.
