Some trans girl who streams sometimes. I'll update description when I think of something better.
Media #34: It Takes Two. Again, I played with @charcoal190.bsky.social on stream, and this ga e is just so incredibly fun. The levels are incredibly detailed and well designed, and the emotional moments of the game really do hit. I can definitely see why this won game of the year in 2021.

Media #33: Trails of Cold Steel. This was a replay, as I hadn't played it in a while and I was coming off the high from Sky. This was my first Trails game, and after having played the whole reat of the series, seeing everything that was referenced and set up, holy shit this series is amazing.

Media #32: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Remake. A remake of the game that started probably the best RPG series of all time. And holy shit do we have an amazingly fun experience. There's so much yo gush about it will not fit in a single post lol. I cannot wait for Second Chapter Remake!!!

Media #31: Dr. Stone Science Future. Despite the wnd of Episode 24, I BELIEVE that we have seen the final episode for the current season and it will continue next year? Anyways this season had one of the most brutal series of episodes only to then be followed by hope. Cannot wait for the rest!

Media #30: My Dress-Up Darling Season 2. I had watched the first season back when Crunchyroll still had comments, and I remember some really funny ones. Anyways this show is super cute but also a little risqué. It focuses a lot on the details of cosplay and even surprised me with some info I knew.

Media #29: Aharen-san is Indecipherable. This show is SUPER cute, and is a rare case where it has a finished story. The relationship that blossoms between the rather monotone MC and the Quiet main girl is adorable. There's also a lot of funny moments and fun references as well.

Media #28: Dandadan Season 2. This season was great. I'd already caught up with the manga, so I already knew what was going on. But seeing everything in motion just makes things that much better. It also ends on a MUCH better note than last season, still a cliffhanger but not a like... terrible one.

Media #27: A Way Out. Holy shit, this game was phenomenal. I played with @charcoal190.bsky.social and had a great time. The presentation and cinematography were absolutely outstanding, and the ending was just like, holy shit. Do yourself a favor and grab yourself a friend to play this game with.

Media #26: Donkey Kong Bananza. This game was incredibly fun. A lot of smashing things and a little platforming challenge. I did feel it kind of dragged on for a bit near the end, but the last Layer was awesome, and kind of what I felt more of the game should have been. Pauline was adorable too.

Media #25: Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. A fantastic first part to the final arc of Demon Slayer. I'm still confused as to why they opted for 3 movies instead of just a final season. But holy shit, the animation was beautiful as always, cinematography was outstanding. And Zenitsu locked the fuck in

Media #24: Pastel☆Parade. Totally forgot to do this after playing this on stream. Fun game, a Rhythm Heaven-like, I've never played Rhythm Heaven before in my life. Characters are silly and the art is cute. Some of the minigames were kinda bullshit though. I think a 6, maybe 7/10 is fair for it.

Media #23: Dr. Stone (Season 3).Yup, I'm binging this series lmao. It's super good, we got the building of a ship, started unraveling some of the mysteries of the world's petrification, and Senku ending off the season essentially being like "We're going to the moon!" Season 4, here I come.

Media #22: Dr. Stone (Season 2). Weirdly only 11 episodes as opposed to season 1's 26, it really just expands on the story even more, giving a lot more science stuff and also making me cry at the end. Totally looking forward to what's coming next! 2 more seasons! (I think season 4 is still airing)

Media #21: Dr. Stone (Season 1). Absolutely fantastic show, taking place in essentially a Post-Apocalyptic World 3,700 years in the future after all of humanity turned to Stone. Focuses on Senku, who wants to rebuild civilization with the power of Science. And yeah, there's a lot of real science.

Media #20: Name in Image and Alt Text (Season 1). A really fun take on having an OP protagonist who just becomes OP because he's having fun. If you can look past the bad fanservice, it's incredibly enjoyable, but I completely understand if some things turn you away. Japan doing weird shit again.

Media #19: Kemono Friends Season 2. Yes, separate seasons count for separate medias. This was certainly a follow up to season 1. And by that I mean not at all. Answered no questions that Season 1 left me and also left me with more. Kyururu is not as good a protagonist as Kaban. Still enjoyable tho.

Media #18: Title in Image and Alt Text (Season 1). This show has such a dumb premise but it's like, really fun. Boxxo, the Vending machine, is basically a guy who was autistic for Vending Machines. Lamice, the main girl, is really fun and adorable, and just overall endearing. I def recommend a try.

Media #17: Final Fantasy V. This might be my favorite of the Pixel Remasters that I've played so far. I love the improvements to the Job System over 3, though I do have my own issues with it. And the story, while nothing super impressive, is still really good. Also Gilgamesh is a peak character.

Media #16: Kemono Friends. I really slept on this series for so long. Finally watching it with @charcoal190.bsky.social. It's actually like, really fun??? Wasn't completely what I expected but plot really went heavy in the last 2 episodes. Animation is better than Berserk 2016 but worse than BFDI.

Media #15: Final Fantasy III. Yes, I skipped 2. FF3 was really fun and enjoyable, I love having a Job Class system, but I'm not super big on how it's handled here, there's almost no reason to swap jobs and "master" them. And there's too few points where a job is required. Otherwise, fun game.

Media #14: Final Fantasy I. This is not the firat time I have tried to play the original, but it is the first time I beat it. I thought "Hey, it would be fun to put my DnD Party members into FF1 and see how that goes." It went well enough... but Chaos was ROUGH especially since I had no White Mage.

Media #13: Battle for Dream Island. The first season of this Object Show is really fun, and its existence is interesting. Quite literally made by a couple of kids, it's actually pretty well animated and characters are fun. I would definitely allow my kids to watch this.

Media #12: Deltarune Chapters 1-4. Taking the charm of the characters of Undertale and placing them in a story with a larger narrative is incredible. Susie may be one of the best written characters I have seen. Some aspects I'm like... eh on, but it does a lot of good. Looking forward to the rest!

Media #11: Undertale Red & Yellow. A mod for Undertale which adds Clover from Yellow and Chara as little ghosts that travel alongside and talk with you, as well as adding a few things to connect it with Yellow a little more. Fun mod, Clover and Chara's banter is enjoyable.
