I'm late to this episode, but it rocks. These Showa throwbacks are the best.

Iron Man showing off a henshin sequence back in the Bronze Age. I love the briefcase, but this is cool too.

People are complaining about Kamen Rider Zeztz being more serious, but honestly serious Riders are a staple that they alternate in sometimes. We were about due for one. That said....I didn't expect him to have the Blickie on him lol.

I'm also simultaneously watching Kamen Rider Gavv and...
Some of you keep trying to turn her into a Kamen Rider, and I don't like it. More female Riders are needed, but Sachika is a DELIGHTFUL supporting cast member when most of them are annoying as hell. Leave her alone.

I generally hate to yuck people's yum, but like. We don't need these. I'm literally watching one of these and enjoying it, and I STILL think we don't need these. It would be fine if instead of stuff like this we got a remake of some '90s or 2000s series.

Next year is going to be a big year for anime remakes. And it's only now that I'm realizing that this is probably intentional.

I spent way too many hours on TCG Card Shop Simulator. Occasionally these sim games will catch me and I'll just lose a random 20-30 hours to them. Ripping packs, getting rare cards, selling and keeping a business running--it's all just a joy. Love that they're still updating it too.

Finally made myself get into Baldur's Gate 3 at the end of the summer. It's as good as advertised. I ADORE Karlach, but the rest of the cast is great too. It is hard as fuck though, so I just turned it to baby-ass baby mode so I could finish it now that I'm done with Act 1.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak. Finally at the end of my Trails journey. Until February, when Crimson Sin drops. I've adored this game. It's a little long, but the highs are so high I don't care. 10 more hours left for a full playthrough of around 90 hours.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie. I shotgunned like five Trails games inside of two years to get to this one. Not my favorite, but there are parts about it I adore. The ending in particular is strong. I'd love it more without the dungeon. Even when I'm tired of Kiseki, I'm really not.

Xenoblade 3. I hate the battle system in this game so much, but everything else is great. The story is top-tier, the characters are great, and the fact that there's so many is awesome. Most of what I did in this game was last year, and I'm still unfinished. I'll have to get back to it soon though.
