Wow, so this is what confused the hell out of me. In the last few years have been so many Jacks, who all kinda are the same?? Now it makes sense...

Binge-watched Uncontrollably Fond. As usual with those k-shows, the middle part was incredibly stretched to the max, but all in all it was still a nice show. Also, so sad.

Funny, it really does look a lot like it.

Something ain't right here, but I can't really put the finger on it.

Yeah, that's exactly what I hated about it. They could have just not done that and it would have been a great movie anyways.

I'm probably the only person who is meh about Train to Busan. The last part of that movie just killed it for me and had me rolling eyes again.

Watched All of Us Are Dead yesterday. Basically binged the whole show in two days. All in all it was good, but some parts were a bit too slow and a bit of a pain to get through. Also a couple times people died for very stupid reasons + it made me furious how they don't just build weapons and armor. Park Ji-hu was the best. I liked all of her scenes, especially with her father. What I find interesting about korean shows is when they show the class struggle. Seems they have quite some issues with rich vs poor, which kinda makes sense, considering their history, I guess. Also the bullying in school was pretty crazy. I wonder how much of that is just hyperbole for tv.

Just watched Netflix' Don't Look Up and now I'm depressed.

Well, I don't like the old anime style, tbh. I just can't get into it. I like stuff that is like My Name and such. Modern, fine lines, detailed. Your Lie in April and Erased looks also kinda nice to me. And of course the new JoJo, which also looks great. Sadly animes of that quality seem to not happening all that often.

Damn, I really like the visual style of My Dress-Up Darling, but everything else about it is so cringe.

wtf am I looking at

Wait, I just learned this new Star Wars show with Bobby Fat is out? Somehow nobody at all is talking about it. Is it that bad?

I never finished PoE1 because it was simply too long and for me it lost a lot of steam later. However, I think PoE2 was exactly the right size and hell, I even finished it twice.

Just finished How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? and it's hilarious. Waifu muscle kink stuff but most of the time not even that cringe. Honestly, I have seen far worse animes. At least this one isn't the usual harem stuff that makes you want to vomit.

The writing clearly suffered from the "more = better" crap that was going on back then. I still blame Planescape: Torment for this. We all thought that more text = better rpg, because of a single miracle case of a game that came out like 20 years ago. Oh boy how wrong we were. Turns out it's really not the amount of text, but the quality of text that matters. Lots of the stuff in PoE1 could have been cut out and nothing of value would have been lost. Stuff like reading the "souls" or whatever that was didn't help it either..

Jeez, PoE2 became profitable in 2020 -- 2 years after release. I knew it was running bad, but didn't expect this bad. Personally I feel like it's because the majority of players were tired of the top-down-classic-rpg-esque stuff? Like, PoE1 relied heavily on nostalgia still, which then everyone got their fair share fulfilled with. Also we got the new Torment game, which also kinda ran into the same direction. So at the end of the day, I really think the majority of generic players just were tired of it or thought it's going to be just more of the same. Then again, if I remember right, they decided later to do full voice acting for PoE2, which sure as **** was not cheap. So this probably also blew up the budget crazy high and then caused unrealistic expectations?

I mean, they did show mars' effects in season 5 more extensively. There was Bobby's arc, and Alex seeing it as well. I don't think it was necessary to go over it again in season 6. We got earth in the beginning of s6 now, which was lacking a lot in s5 (Amos' arc was supposed to show that, but imo it didn't really work well). My problem with the "tricking" at the end of s6 is that this was a *huge* gamble... just to even get into that position. It made for a better show, but the "realism" went a bit stray there, I'd say. However, I still think it's good the way it is. Probably going to binge-watch s6 again this weekend, now that it is completed.

I kinda like the art style, which is why I started watching it for a few minutes, then I kinda got into it. Now if just it wouldn't all be so damn stupid and cringe. Also the japanese obsession with super sized boobs is kinda bleh.

Oh, I watched that as well, the first two episodes at least. 🥲

I randomly stumbled over "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" and it's just lol. Of all the things JoJo did, it really got me into this Gym Gods stuff.

Finally watched the final episode of The Expanse. I had pushed it away quite a few times and was still hesitant to start watching it, because I didn't want it to stop. Was a great episode. Whole s6 is fantastic, imo. In general this is one of the rare shows that are good from beginning to the very end. Seriously, there is nothing I really have to complain about. S5 had some slow meh moments with all the Naomi stuff, and s6 could really use 3 more episodes, but all in all it's just great. Now let's hope we will get more Expanse. Maybe not next year, but maybe the year after ... or after that ... please.

Damn, the latest season of Archer is probably the best in years. Some real fun episodes, with nice character progressions.

This is beyond funny now. Actually this is kinda funny ... since the announcement of the game, lots of cool sci-fi stuff came out, which now made me really hate the "space ships are ships in space" trope. I'd rather have more realistic space ship designs, with less windows and stuff like that. In a way, space ships should be more like submarines, and Star Citizen doesn't have that at all. So tl;dr - I'm kinda not even motivated anymore to actually play the game due to the super unrealistic ship designs.

I swear to god, with every new chapter of One Piece, the "plot" gets bigger.

Turkish Rambo is better then every Rambo movie after that. Especially Rambo 5 triggered the hell out of me.
