#Kpopdemonhunters Very late to the party but finally got around to watching KPop Demon Hunters and I can see why it's so popular. Very catchy music, bitching animation, and a story with a real soul to it. Real good time. 8/10

8/10. Good Cast, Mostly good writing, and the animation really wows

#SilentWitch Was not expecting to like the Silent Witch as much as I did. It really won me over as it kept going, building from a standard start and speed bump in the Rudy arc to something really special in its last two episodes. If the rest of the series is like Episodes 12 and 13, we got a classic

Uhhh...I thought your voice was the voice acting for show for like a good 10 seconds and I was like "Wow, they did not do a very good job lip syncing...oh" 😅

#Rascaldoesnotdreamofsantaclaus The show was a wonderful followup to the original series and the sequel movies. Continues everyone's lives a few years later and adds in more interesting puberty syndrome issues that push Sakuta in interesting directions. Looking forward to the movie 8.5/10

#Finaldestination Finally saw Final Destination Bloodlines. A bizarrely fun time that did not take itself seriously but still had a good emotional core

Could probably cost cut by making their CEO live in Seattle and not pay for his private jet

a lot of interesting characters to lean on. Overall, it's a light 7/10 that hope gets more seasons to pay off whatever their building.

built up in a satisfying way. Episode 5 is an awesome time and most things to do with the Xenomorphs are great but the execution with the child characters left something to be desired at times with their inconsistent strength. Kirsch and Morrow were stand out characters in a season that didn't have

#AlienEarth The final episode of Alien Earth was certainly a step up over the mediocre penultimate episode but ends on a unsatisfying note that'll need more seasons to see if it actually pays off anything. Overall, the series has some good highs and awkward lows and doesn't pay off everything it

#Sinners Finally got around to watching Sinners and that was incredibly well directed, acted, and made movie that I think loses a lot of momentum once the vampires show up and then starts to gain it only to falter in its closing battle. Liked the epilogue a lot though. High 7/10

the characters and their designs are incredibly charming, most of the bosses are excellent foes who will sometimes make you want to fling your controller in anger, and the music is a big standout. I look forward to getting back and trying for the other endings and cleaning up a couple bosses.

#HollowKnight Beat Hollow Knight and got The Hollow Knight ending. Great game that only feels slightly unfair from time to time. A great Metroidvania-Soulsbourne game that is easily in my top 40 games. The combat is good, the setting and atmosphere are near the top of gaming, the lore is interesting

#DarkSouls Beat Ashes of Ariandel and the Ringed City the last two weeks with my friend and was good finally putting the last of bits Darks Souls content to rest. The Demon Princes and Midir were hella hard

outing for Gigguk as a writer and I look forward to seeing whatever he does next.

#baan Just finished watching Gigguk's Baan and that was a really beautiful story told in only 20 minutes. World setting was established effectively as well and I would love to see more in this world. The story also had more going with it and took a turn I certainly didn't expect. A great first

#DandaDan DandaDan season 2 was a great time. From seeing the first three episodes in theaters to following it week to week, was a splendid watch to observe the great action, relationship progression between the main two, and the growing found family aspect to the show. 8.5/10

#Rezero Finally got around to watching Rezero Season 3 and that was a lot of fun like always. It was great getting to see the rest of the cast shine and the villains were truly detestable. Seeing Regulus get his shit kicked in was peak tv. Really looking forward to season 4

#DarkSouls Finally beat base Dark Souls 3 with my friend after 4 different attempts that were stopped by pc resets. Great time and probably my second favorite that I've completed. Nameless King is terrifying

I might be moving cross country to Stanford soon, who'd you use to ship furniture or did you use uhaul?

#Peacemaker I finally got around to watching Peacemaker season 1 and it was a funny, emotional, chaotic time that I enjoyed immensely. John Cena is great as the titular character and the rest of the supporting cast bring their A game to make this show shine. Like a 8.5/10

Still honestly wish they had just had it be an actual rebel unit and then you throw Jyn in as the outsider

#ThreeBodyProblem Finally finished reading the Three Body Problem. Really solid read with a hell of an interesting concept and leaves me very curious about what happens next. Main Character was kind of weak however and it spent a bit too much in the Three Body game. Still, good 8/10
