Welp, time to start a new media list when I actually finish something worth talking about.

Till then, check out this cool gif I found.

60. #Parasite
★★★★~

Watched this with a group and it was pretty fantastic. There’s a lot to discuss and think about, especially when it comes to how it addresses social class.

59. #MinecraftMovie
★★★

It was better/funnier than I expected but not by much. Jason Momoa was the highlight though.

58. Kerrigan Has Gone Roguelike (SC2: HOTS Mod)
★★★~

Pretty fun roguelike mod, even if it’s really easy to make the game way too hard, making you have to load an earlier save.

The start screen of the mod, where you can choose from 6 core essences as a base for your build.

57. #Starcraft II: Nova Covert Ops
★★★~

Ok I'm admittedly only putting this here since I completed the last mission today after putting it off for years. Pretty fun tho.

56. #Starcraft II: Wings Of Liberty (Hard)
★★★★

Yeah, I think this still holds up pretty well. Most of the missions are really good and varied, though some of them are frustrating. I also love the upgrade system and free-form mission selection, makes the game incredibly replayable.

55. #SteamWorld Dig
★★★~

Yep, this definitely feels like the game that became before the 2nd entry. Definitely not a fan of how rare the blue orb currency seems to be, since I was locked out of most of the upgrades due to not having enough. That being said, it's still pretty fun.

54. Ruby Rose VS Maka Albarn ( #RWBY VS #SoulEater) | #DEATHBATTLE
★★★★~

Honestly a great milestone episode and tribute to the creator of RWBY. I especially love the climax of the battle with the piano, as I feel it compliments the song and battle really well. Definitely recommend checking out.

Ignoring the whole scrubbiness for the moment, how would banning someone for “trying to hard” even work? That sounds as unenforceable as banning someone for tunneling.

Is it really that time of the year again?

Tomorrow it will have been a whopping 5 years since ULTRAKILL came out in early access (oh no), so we'll be doing an impromptu commentary stream where we (Hakita?, Salad?, Victoria?) play through the revamp update and talk about it!

You know what, I'm just gonna drop the Witcher 3 at this point.

I do like the writing and characters, but the issues with the gameplay are way too significant to keep me interested. It's come to the point where I'm playing it for the sake of completing it instead of genuinely enjoying it.

I just wish that certain people would add alt text to their posts that are literally just text on a background.

I guess adding that is hard though.

Oh yay, another gacha.

The best part is that it’s still being updated 12 years later and it’s unlikely to stop anytime soon when remember how many updates were treated as the final one.

And that’s not even getting into the pretty good modding scene.

Terraria has been one of my favorite games of all time for the longest time. In my eyes, it’s a game that absolutely nails open-ended progression in a sandbox/open world. It always feels like there’s stuff to discover no matter where you are progression-wise.

It also has a demo, so I recommend checking that out if you’re interested.
