My greatest desire is to have "Is ___ gay?" show up when googling my name. It would mean so much to me.

Bloom and Rage replay thoughts

Been quite a while since I cried to a video game. A replay of Lost Records managed to finally get that going again, thankfully. Games should rile up emotions in you and make you thankful to been able to play them.

The relationship mechanics of the game is still great. I appreciate the game abandons the idea of trying to please people who want every decision to impact plot etc. Making the choices effect the relationships, who sticks around and so on was great for replayability (as long as you don't metagame your first playthrough that some people apparently do).

The graphics and design is breathtaking and removes the awkardness from Tell me Why's graphics which felt rough at times. The characters simply look amazing and the colours are fantastic.

The only thing I still feel could've been better was the performances at time, or perhaps the direction and mixing, of some characters in key moments. Otherwise however the game is a tiptop 9/10 for me and manages to peak with its story and characters when it matters most.

Games and their stories don't always need to shock, or do something increadible clever to make you invested and emotional. Sometimes as long as its well made and the effort shines through, that is enough. Just need to resist the urge to write a bunch of tribute songs now.

A toblerone bar is a great alternative to a traditional comb.

Finished a second playthrough of Inquisition by doing near everything except all the collectables. Had a lot of fun, more than the first playthrough. The story hit harder and I already miss my trio of Blackwall-Sera-Dorian. Also appriciated Morrigan a lot more this time since she didn't have Kieran in my first playthrough. All this to say that I love inquisition even more now. Am sad Veilguard didn't live up to the character and world I love about Dragon Age, despite enjoying a lot of other stuff in that game. It's never so simple.

The Dungeon Meshi Manga was amazing and kept me up for too many nights in a row now. I'm sad to have finished it but it was a very sweet and delicious journey. And no longer will I dream of wonderous food. With all that said: Laios is best boy.

Rewatched Avatar: The Last Airbender because why not, and I noticed more Bioware voice actors. Hearing Kaidan/Carth was one thing, but hearing Bastila and FShepard was pretty damn sweet too. I wonder if there are more that I've missed.

Got inspired by Lost Records to make some amateur music in dedication. Tried to mix some synthpop with indie rock.

Replaying Deltarune Chapter 1-2 before playing 3-4 and the arcade scene when Kris and Susie jump on top of Ralsei is so goddamn funny to me. Poor toothpaste boy.

Played tape 2 of Lost Records. My hope for episodic games is reborn with belief that effort can actually be put into games to be original, engaging and beautiful. Loved every second of it and want to do a replay as soon as my heart will allow it :)

I've been holding off watching Andor Season 2 until the summer and just finished the last episode. I was worried my expectations were going to be too high but no, this show was more brilliant and emotional than I could ever have imagined it to be.

You don't even have to like Star Wars to love it. It is simply amazing and I'm so happy that it was made and I had the pleasure of watching it.

Italy’s submission for eurovision 2025 is one of the most beautiful submissions I’ve ever heard. Loved it!

Really liked Tape 1 of Lost Records: Bloom and Rage. Can tell that the devs put a lot of effort into the game and it's really enjoyable to see. Loved the style, characters and story. Choices were pretty fun too. The only thing I found a bit lacking was either the mixing or performance in the ending scene. It took me a bit out of it. Otherwise the whole thing was solid and I liked the performances a lot. Also it's so gorgeous to look at. The characters look so detailed it's wonderful. Great job to everyone involved and I can't wait to play tape 2!
