Back at the beginning of 2022 I moved up to Ohio to live with my partners. We consume a Lot of media, so as we all started media threads together. This one is mine, but I moved it to my website so I don't have to fight twitter's broken thread making anymomre. WARNING!! I will just spoil shit I dont care

To quote my steam review; "With a ton of improvements and additions comes the taking away of a lot of essential features from the first game. Play if you loved 1 and wanted more, but expect disappointment. This game is unexpectedly.. empty? In the furniture department?? I would ASSUME they want you to get your variety out of the endless customization (which btw i really like but even with the right perks matching all of your furniture is a chore.) Outdoor customization is rather limited which is EXTREMELY WORRYING.. I have a sinking feeling a lot of stuff will be added at a later date, but as 15 dollar DLC, AGAIN.... Which would be extremely disappointing. Let's hope they plan to add workshop support. The sandbox mode I can only describe as *really irritating.* I would rather you give me empty houses and unlimited money, not expect me to go make my own levels for players. I still like this game, and I find myself coming back to it again and again, but I hold out hope that they're going to give us something more than this."

Do you remember how long Cars is? Really simple premise. Classist man humbled by lowly poors, makes him a better person. SURELY, this cannot be a long movie!

This movie has a really really weird relationship with stealing. This movie's moral is not to just take something, but to make it your own. Comparisons are made between the Chef's reciepies being changed and made their own, and... rats stealing your food and eating it instead of like.. cooking it? I think? I get the whole like "Don't just follow the recipie! Listen to your passions! I think!" Kind of thing it wants to say but GOD I can't for the life of me understand what exactly it wanted out of me.

I've wanted to play this game for soooooo long! I'm so glad that I quit wanting and just played the fucking game. Best descision I ever pushed myself to make to be honest. The writing is amazing and the animation is just as good if not better. I managed to basically 100% it in about 2 days through about 3 playthroughs. The game is deceptively deep. You'll think this is a deep mystery that you should be taking notes for but really the most you'll wanna do is like, jot down what everyone's relation is.

The group of people who crowded around the TV to watch this movie was very strange. A girl who would relive her days as a theater kid in highschool in a heartbeat, a guy who hated every second he was in school, and a person who hasn't even set foot in a school in general. This turned into my gf constantly pointing out (and pausing the movie to point out) what they're doing and how it would REALLY go down in theater class, me chiming in to talk about how dogshit the school system is with her, and poor bunny looking at us like we're completely insane.
What did I think of the movie oh I thought it was really fucking lame. This movie is lame. Like a weird 2000's time capsule of what adults thought kids were doing in high school. I only remember one song from the movie and it's that song. If you've watched the movie you'd know what song it is.

I've been playing FF14 for about.. 3 years now? Large hiatuses withstanding. The hype around this MMO is no joke. It's fun, it's addicting, and it's probably better than almost every MMO you've played before. I've not had fun with my friends in a game like I have with ff14. That's my character by in the picture by the way, Warok Menarok.
Plot wise ARR is stupidly fucking boring. You are one of god's specialist little babies IGNORE THAT EVERY OTHER PLAYER IS AS WELL and a party realizes how cool and amazing you are and tasks You to go kill all the primals (big evil monsters who are terrorizing everyone.) So you go out, and you go from place to place killing primals, but nobody belives you, so can you please prove your worth by bringing me 7 bear asses? You killed 2 primals on the way here? I want to test that, can you bring me some fucking cheese please? And then everyone is murdered by fascists and you have to break your friends out of prison and defeat the Ultimate Weapon before it kills everyone. Oh and by the way I did all of this as a fucking white mage. I'm the designated healer in the polycule's Free Company. Killed the final boss with my Two Attacks.
I'm exited to finally get to play the game.

Oh my god? Oh my god. Where has this series been all my life! This is the most kino shit I've ever watched, and I wasn't even going to watch this series when Bunny suggested watching it! This is a very faithful adaptation of the first book, though condensed and altered with some very minor alterations.

Combined all 3 of these.. documentories? into one because I think they should be watched together. Like any good artist I need my long ass youtube videos about pointless shit to keep me focused. Too many times have I found myself stopping what I'm doing to watch. I find the way that these people view the world to be fascinating.. and sad. Really sad. Redditors are sad sad people.

Should this... count? It's an art program! But it's on steam... eeeeehhhhhhghghgh you know what sure. Yeah let's include it.
Kitty got this for me on a whim simply because I saw it was on sale and mused about owning it. Honestly, I've always thought that I'm just absolute dogshit at pixel art, but it turns out that I was just trying to do it in programs that just flat out hated pixel art. Aesprite will give you all the tools youll ever need to make pixel art, animate that pixel art, make games with that pixel art, and will probably do your taxes or some shit for fun. I love this program but oh god there is such a learning curve. If you weren't using SAI or CSP before this you will be so so lost. As a Procreate user I'm not used to having an art program with all of the bells and whistles in the world so I was fucking terrified when I booted up Aesprite. Luckily there's like, 6 tutorials on how to us this program! That I will never watch in favor of whining about not knowing how anything works!

For this I'm going to paraphrase from a conversation about the movie I had with Bunny, who's smarther than me.
""I feel like my only real problem with Wall-E is that the human side of things is handled clumsily, which is better than I expected so maybe I'm being unfairly nice to it. They use obesity as the result of hyperconsumerist capitalist domination, which is a very 2008 thing to do. While I feel like it's not nearly as bad as a lot of shit at the time, it's confused about how much it wants to make that a problem to a point where the movie doesn't interact with the humans being fat much at all. To be fair I'm happy they don't touch on it a lot but, I feel like the same message couldve been delivered better. Like if they were just emaciated from only eating garbage slop smoothies. I theorize they they used the obesity visual at the time there was this 'obesity epidemic' in the 2000s. It's just clumsy, and controversial coming from it today, when fatphobia is considered an issue. However I don't think the movie itself is fatphobic, they never mock it. The closest it gets is when the caption taunts Auto by asking if he's too heavy for him but to be honest I think that went hard so I didn't care. The humans are never villified for being fat (My notes, I think there are a couple jokes about them being fat.) It's not as bad as it could have been and manages to treat humans with a sense of kindness that you don't expect. Will say though, everything involving the robots in general is so much better. We really don't see Dialoge sparse storytelling like this anymore.""

Oh god I think we started watching this LAST YEAR but, whatever. Euge. You can tell it's going that 'semi-lighthearted and contained episodes in the first season so we can be plot driven in the second' thing that most modern cartoons do these days. Ain't got a problem with it but when you notice that pattern it's really hard to unnotice it. Since we took a fucking, almost year long hiautus watching it I've forgoten almost everything but the last 2 episodes, which were really really great!!
I like King hes so baby puppy :3

If you're me you are obsessed with that stupid white hippo franchise and awaited this game's arrival like it was the second coming of christ. Not even because I thought this was going to be an amazing game I just saw MORE MOOMIN CONTENT INCOMING and almost shit myself.
Bought it, played it, beat it in about a week. God I have a lot to say about it sorry.
PROS - First of all, this game is really, really pretty. It has this painted watercolor look that iminates Tove's style and looks beautiful. I wish the walk speed was slower just so I can get more time to sit and stare at it. Throughout the game you'll get several moments where you Can just, sit and admire the calm atmosphere. Take them! Soak this game in. Though based on the time Snufkin rescued the woodies from the parkkeeper, the story is wholey unique. I point this out because Moomin media falls into this trap of just retelling the original stories over and over again (LIKE A CERTAIN EUROPEAN EXCLUSIVE SHOW) ..Also Snork is in the game. I love Snork :)
MEHS - This game is, like, Piss Easy... Which I expected because this is definetly a game for children. Most of the difficulty will come from doing little scavenger hunts, and the stealth missions! The final steal missions have a very sudden jump in difficulty, but once again. Not Hard. You'll probably finish this game in about 5-7 hours. Something I would like to warn you about NOW, before you play the game, is that this game's controls take some getting used to. WASD are for playing music and interacting with the enviroment/characters. Snufkin moves with either the mouse, or the Arrow Keys. It's way harder to control him with the arrow keys, I should know! I PLAYED THE WHOLE GAME LIKE THAT.
CONS - While I appreciate that this game telegraphs where you're about to jump, sometimes jumping can be a little finniky. Maybe it's because I was playing with the arrows keys, but sometimes I really struggled to get Snufkin to go where I wanted him to. Reading the map was also, for some ungody reason, a struggle for me. It doesn't show you if paths are closed, which can make things confusing if you're rock stupid like I am and tried to do the last quest out of order. Or you try to take a particular route to your destination, only to find it blocked. There was a glitch where, when a key was supposed to drop, it simply despawned. This was fixed by exiting to main menue and reloading the game. There was also some more minor, less game breaking glitches. The ghost's animation being choppy because I had Vsync off, the Woodies constantly stopping as they spun around Skunfkin (they make a noise whenever they stop and go, which makes them 30 times more annoying both for me and probably for Snufkin) Small bugs. Little issues that pale in comparison my biggest gripe. My biggest problem, by far, is that this game gets.. kinda repetitive, and dull. The things you can do in Moominvally are very very limited. Talk to NPCs, push/pull the object, play the instroment. And suprisingly you do very very little with your instroments!
Whatever the case, it didn't ruin the fun I had with this game! I loved it!

Eeee today is my HRT Anniversary! What a better way to celebrate than to read a story about a man's profound love for a puppet.
While I sound really dismissive, I do genuinely love this story and I care about what it's about. Objectum is.. strange, but not in a bad way! I've always been deeply fascinated by it. In this day and age where everything is condensed down into simply 'content' that we should consume for a few seconds before moving on, I feel a need to really highlight people who's love for art goes further beyond. Most people seem to cringe at the idea of somebody wanting to fuck an object. Personally if somebody fell head over heels for a sculpture that I made I would take it as the highest compliment I couldve ever gotten. I dunno I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. If you can you should really read this!! I'm gonna pick up the writer's other graphic novel when I get the cash!

Apparently this movie did poorly and like, I don't get why!! It's an amazing, well animated, and fun movie. It's message is a lot clearer, or maybe just more easier for us to grasp since it was much simpler. The setting made this movie so much more enjoyable and god i wish she didn't spend so much of the movie a frog. God I wish she wasn't content with staying a frog. Maybe it's because Brother Bear put such a nasty taste in my mouth about it tho but god. I'm glad she DIDN'T stay a frog. That the movie ended with them both getting what they truly wanted. but the way that she just. accepted that she's gonna stay a frog. it IRKED AT ME.

If you see anything Dragonball related on my watchlist, assume that I watched this passively and didn't pay much attention to it. This is just a longer episode of Dragonball. A condensed version of the Garlic arc, which is similar to most DBZ arcs. Scary Villain appears, maybe kills some characters who try and fight it, Goku finally shows up and just obliterates it. This time Gohan helps. Also he gets drunk and it's like half of the movie.

You could say something really profound about this movie. This movie could be about how poor coping mechansisms in children going ignored and treated as misbehaviour to be punished, will only further persuade your child into continuing down this path, continuing the cycle, and becoming the monster. A movie about how hurt people will hurt people.
And then the little monster pisses into an empty apple juice bottle to trick a kid into drinking it.
I don't think children should be watching this movie.

I don't have much interest in DBZ but if you held a gun to the head of one of my loved ones and told me to pick a favorite character I guess Vegeta, young Gohan, and Trunks. My passing interest in the plot and Trunks convinced me to pay attention to the movie this time. Plus I didn't have anything else to do as usual. The movie as pretty alright! Way better than the other DBZ movie I've seen.

This means nothing to you guys but, if I had a choice, I'de watch DBZ subbed..

Whoever decided that this movie's soundtrack should exclusively be nu-metal deserves a fucking medal it made everything so much more kino. Also this was the most pointless fucking movie. Nothing mattered. Unless you're a number 1 Piccolo stan then watch this movie if you like seeing him kick ass.

Another pointless ass movie with the most baller ass soundtrack and Piccolo kicking everyone's ass. Anyways WHY DO THEY KEEP INVITING THAT FUCKING PIG? He just bitches and whines about everything! God he was bad in the last movie but we were fucking SICK OF HIM in this one. Like fucking for real he's yet to do something other than cry about being scared.

The synopsis you've heard about this movie is way more horrifying than what really goes down. I promise you. I was just as terrified that this movie was about Holden chasing a lesbian around and hoping that if he just flirts with her hard enough she'll stop being gay just for him. It's more about Holden's self-centeredness, and how this was ultimately his downfall. He thinks that he can have his cake and eat it too. That solving his problems means taking the path of most resistance, so that whenever he clears it he can feel like an even bigger man than he really is.
I managed to guess the ending of this movie, purely because I thought it would be the funniest outcome and blurted that out when my GF asked me to guess what he was gonna ask for.
