unpacking
✨ short and sweet experience you can knock out in 3-4 hours. i wouldn't pay full price for it but i was satisfied with what it delivered
✨ actually quite fun to watch a life story play out just by unpacking items. it's nothing complicated but the pattern recognition definitely kicks in

angel's egg
✨ a very confusing watch the first time through but made a lot more sense after i revisited my reason and revelation notes
✨ incredibly ominous worldbuilding made even more terrible by that inverted noah's ark parable. SO atmospheric
✨ what if all you can do is hold the faith. what then.

i went into last session’s big bad horde fight with 2 spell slots total and somehow ended a fight with a dragon wyrmling with like 4. one of these days i’ll find the right balance

not a fan of breath attacks i think BUT very big fan of looney toons baiting attacks with a duplicate. also our warlock did like 70% of our damage after rolling so bad last session so we count our blessings

and my god luye seeing how good wuxian is to xiao hei and just. feeling so wistful for that kind of relationship with her shifu while reflecting on the time that she lost to her grief and rage but taking the steps to try and mend what she can was all sorts of evil

lost my mind over wuxian and xiao hei's tiny little gestures toward each other. when wuxian offered his hand for xiao hei to hold and xiao hei took it without even looking i just about flatlined. any guy can facetank the US military industrial complex but it takes a real man to be a single father

✨ YEAH IT'S GOOD
✨ i hope luye knows i love her. those final mins tracing the journey of her grief and recovery were truly so excellent
✨ excellent action as always. in this movie wuxian fights (checks notes) the entire US defense budget and also an orbital laser. guess who wins

THAT'S HIS SHIFU 😭😭😭

xiao hei in tiny cat form is possibly the most adorable thing i've ever seen. wuxian as a certified hypercompetent badass who's also a huge loser who can't cook for shit, has no sense of direction, and can't drive is DEEPLY funny to me and checks just about every box i have. i LOVE them

the legend of hei
✨ i've watched a lot of good movies this year. i fear this clears them all
✨ ABSURD animation. unbelievable fight choreography and very clever use of the environment
✨ yeah i immediately fell in love with xiao hei and wuxian. no i'm not embarrassed. have you SEEN them

i'm a diehard d20 starstruck fan but naddpod made me laugh harder than anything in my life and also made me weep and by god was mage madness so much fun. also if you've only ever seen emily pull insane shit on d20 you NEED to see what murph has to deal with lmao
