how is it possible for a racing game to be so much fun that you don’t care if you don’t place first. perfect sequel to the original i’m in loveeeee

i’ll do it again.

“lol she only has 225 unique films logged on letterboxd” I’M TRYING MY BEST

tbh i feel like no matter what age you REALLY get into film, you’ll always feel behind. like i’m sorry the only haneke i’ve watched is funny games 2008, i’m still trying to catch up with watching 80s slashers and late 2010s blumhouse. i’ve only recently dipped my toes into j-horror. i’m new to this!

btw it’s david lynch’s fire walk with me and eraserhead, nobuhiko obayashi’s house, herk harvey’s carnival of souls, and um. maybe a wes anderson? or i can be lazy and just go with mulholland drive. i love lynch sorryyyyyy

call me insane (you would be correct) but Elf fucks like crazy. i was unfathomably depressed in late 2024 and latched onto this movie as comfort. so my letterboxd is forever fucked by The Wall of Elf.

dream blunt rotation in 2024 was Elf, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, and Muppet Christmas Carol

if i were to include non-horror this thread would be far longer. so i’ll limit myself to 10

i’m obsessed with these boss fights i want to replay them over and over and over again. and i’d love a more difficult variant of the act 2 final boss. they were just a little too easy for such a climactic fight. like how absolute radiance fixed how easy radiance was!

i’m just so used to progression lockouts that i try to comb every square inch so i don’t miss something. and i still somehow manage to miss things. for a game that took 7 years to make, i’m constantly blown away by it taking *only* 7 years. it’s so dense. i just need godhome and it’s perfect

anyone who has attempted to 100% metroid prime will know about the ice shriekbats. very small enemies that appear in one specific area, do not respawn after progressing further, and destroy themselves upon seeing the player. you have a very small window to kill them prior to them attacking. cringe!

this is smthn that even the most expertly designed metroidvanias and adventure games still somehow neglect. i’ve had my experience with otherwise phenomenals game negatively impacted by missing something seemingly inconsequential that counted towards completion percentage

i almost feel bad for beating the clockwork dancers, trobbio, and phantom first try. i adored their fights so much and just wanted to watch them. those all felt like dances. which fits the music theming of everything so perfectly. every new room i walk into, i’m hoping it’s a new boss. i’m obsessed

the feeling of that first attempt at a boss just trying to learn their attack patterns, watching for moments of vulnerability and when to heal, thinking of how to approach them and when to use tools or abilities

and then the rare occasion where you beat them first try? ohmygod dudeeeeee
