Return

Thoughts

Have I mentioned how much I love The Sound of Music? Cause like it has got to be one of my favorite musicals. Basic take I know. 😅
Getting back on my Physical Media/DVD menu nostalgia. Maybe one day I'll make that shorts series covering the highlights of my collection
Is it normal for a Kingdom Hearts fan to hear Ansem call out "Come Guardian!" in their head? I need to know... for a friend.
It is so dumb that not only is Disclosure Day essentially a remake of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but its also worse somehow?
Finally completed Kingdom Hearts II. Less of an RPG than the first game, and definitely more focused on spectacle. Kinda like Mass Effect 2 when compared to Mass Effect 1
Silent Hill (1999) has been decompiled and has an unofficial PC port. This PC port has options to turn it into a third person shooter. This RUINS the game but it is funny af.
So Sony is sunsetting physical media for its game consoles. Just want to point out I've spent the last month playing a Sony console game on a disk released 21 years ago. Sony thinks this is wrong.
Kingdom Hearts is about 2 things: extreme spectacle and extreme emotions. All other concerns are secondary at best.
Somehow, I've fallen really hard for Kingdom Hearts in the past 3 months or so. This has triggered interest in jrpgs broadly. REALLY not beating the "weeb" allegations.
Kingdom Hearts II is a really impressive game. Also, the beginning with Roxas reminded me of I Saw The TV Glow. So thats a thing.
I used to think that I didn't have any regrets, because I was content with my life. Nope! It was because I was mildly dissociating and that felt like contentment. Not dissociating anymore? Here come the regrets!
Well I finished Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Not beating the "weeb" allegations.
Being single was a lot easier to deal with when I low-key hated myself.
"Getting good" at videogames is overrated. Sure its fine and dandy if thats what you wanna do, but as a 30 year old...seems pretty childish
The Death of Robin Hood (2026) is very much a modern movie aesthetically, however it feels thematically dated. Like it would have worked better in the '90s
Rewatching Iron Lung (2026). Probably the most interesting thing about it from a filmmaking stand point is how impressionistic it is.
Well hello there consequences of my life choices. Why do you have to suck so much sometimes?
I lurk in r/DefendingAiArt, it is not surprising a ton of posts are just pointing at amateur art and saying it's shitty.
I feel like we're experiencing a competency crisis at almost all levels of society.
I find the hero worship "Gamers™" have for Gabe Newell very off putting. He is a business owner not some great savior of gaming. He will screw you over for profit.
Strongly suspecting that HRT is making me better at videogames. Couldn't possibly be that I'm just more confident and less self-effacing.
I am seriously, no joke, slowly becoming a Luddite.
When will Christopher Nolan direct a Bond movie?
I think AI feels so inhuman because humans evolved to actually *do* things, and not just ideate. Doing is satisfying.
I just spent like a full minute staring into the mirror, grinning, practically giggling, and thinking "I'm so lucky I get to be me!"
So apparently the TV sitcom Dinosaurs was really good!
Apparently what it took to make me want to watch a Star Wars movie again is the combination of cute puppets and episodic storytelling.
New blog post! This one contains a VERY important life update, but if you don't want to read the whole thing here's the important bit: I'm a woman. I'm switching to She/Her pronouns.
Watching Speed Racer on 4k bluray feels like I'm seeing color for the first time.
Not been seeing a lot in the way of rainbow capitalism yet. Sure it's hollow and meaningless, but its absence worries me.
Been working on a website update that's effectively complete. No significant content, just a some layout changes and a new background image. New blog post to come tomorrow evening so look out for that. If I can hold myself to it, this update will coincide with a percipitous drop in Bsky engagement.
I need to better organize the backend of my site. It's a *mess* trying to track down a specific day's post. I should make at *least* every year its own folder if not every month.
What would I really lose if I cut off social media engagement entirely and focused my entire online presence on my website.🤔 It's not like my style of post gets a hell of a lot of engagement. I have some thoughts.
Robert Pattinson plays Chris Hanson in a movie about "To Catch a Predator" was not on my bingo card but given... Ya'know... Everything I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
