Thank god they still have me feeling burned out from the last couple crappy stalker games.

Just watched The Power of the Dog. Bit slow in the beginning, but I guess that was necessary to establish the characters accordingly. All in all not a bad movie.

I'm almost done with Bloodborne. Orphan of Kos, Laurence, the First Vicar, and Gehrman, The First Hunter are the last on my list for as far as I am aware. While I technically like the game, I'm not sure if I will ever replay it.. some of the balance issues are just too annoying. I could jump straight to Gehrman now, but at the same time I don't want to skip the other bosses ... but I'm also dreading the thought of having to farm blood vials again. Threaded Cane is actually not a bad weapon. Used it a lot, especially in the alternative mode (as a whip). Helps to keep groups at bay, and you can stay at distance more easily. For bosses I usually switched to something else and once I found the Tonitrus it was settled anyways (though Boom Hammer is also pretty nice half the time).

I'm slowly coming to the realization that I love the idea of Bloodborne, but everything else about it I just hate. Kinda feeling this already since a long time, but maybe I should just finally accept it. Parrying is a vital part of the gameplay, but 90% of the time it's impossible for me to trigger a parry. Almost always it is pure luck or just random. I can't time my attacks at all, because the input latency wants me to be a psychic. Fact is, I played almost all of the game without ever using the parry function. When I look into my inventory, I have almost 800 bullets. I would love to use guns more, but what's the point if I can't parry and trigger visceral attacks with them? At this point it's just really annoying and frustrating. The parry function is just a part of the problem. Dodging and timing normal attacks suffers from the same issues. Usually I'm just tanking the enemies, which likely explains why I have such a hard time when fighting the mobs that deal the most damage... can't just absorb the damage for once.

Finally got the Rakuyo in Bloodborne. Upped it to +10 right away. Good weapon. Only thing that sucks is... the game is pretty much over now. I have 2 bosses left in The Old Hunters, and 1 left in the main game. The Orphan of Kos is really annoying the hell out of me now. Not sure when / if / how much I will bother with that at this point ...

I also think that everything I do is fantastic.

I don't like the new voice of Cuno in the Final Cut. Also I kinda don't like the voiced narrator, because for me this slows down the reading. And not sure if I'm a fan of the revoiced Klaasje.

I thought the landscapes in the Twilight movies were pretty nice. 😄

Joke's on you people for being close to such film snob circles.

My "problem" with Aliens over Alien is that Aliens is a completely different movie genre. It's not a worse or better movie to me, just completely different.

tbh I'm still not sure why there needs to be a LotR show. Personally I'm still feeling quite full from the 3 movies even though they are like 20(?) years old now.

Not for me. New Dune is perfect and I've seen it 4 times already. Also didn't read Wheel of Time, and the show is ... I don't know. Probably just watching it because I got nothing else going on right now. Though have to admit that I am usually sleeping through half of what is happening.

Jotaro appears in some episodes of Diamond is Unbreakable and in 2 episodes of Stone Ocean so far. Unless there will be more in part 2... so far it's pretty much nothing. My problem with Golden Wind is that I didn't like some of the characters and the whole story felt a bit unbelievable to me (Giorno becomes bossman in 3 days?). Also I didn't like the mafia glorification. Because of that I like Diamond is Unbreakable and Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is better.

Just finished with JoJo Stone Ocean part 1. So far I like it more than Golden Wind. Hope it won't take too long for part 2. Honestly, could watch JoJo simply for the art style alone at this point. It just always looks good.

What I find sad about new JoJo content is that often the old characters only get very minor roles, if any at all. I just kinda want to see a little more of Jotaro and Josuke and everyone else.

JoJo Stone Ocean is out now on Netflix and first scene in the first episode already talks about masturbation. This will be interesting.

Watched till end of last episode of Wheel of Time and I still don't know what to think of it. Guess it's not really my thing.

Finished the Netflix Cowboy Bebop show. Thought it was kinda nice, all in all. Weird how much I had forgotten about the original show.

Depends on how slow it is. Is it as slow as Punisher, which makes you fall asleep? Or is it just more "down to earth" slow?

I mean, if it's an Urban Mech, it was just a joke anyways. 😆

Big props to the writing team who always manages to top their last stupid from which we thought it's already as stupid as it gets. I watched ep1 and 2 from Cowboy Bebop and tbh, I like it. Haven't seen the anime in a million years, but I remember a few details here and there. So far I'm not upset about it, even though it feels really cheesy at times.

Maybe I can get you a free copy of my project, but sadly not of the base game. 😄

I mean, do we care about the others? 😄

Is it really a cliffhanger, though? I thought it's pretty obvious what's happening next. Lots of boom, but all the characters there are essential, so once the next show (season? chapter?) comes out, it'll continue with that civil war thing. Oddly enough, I could swear the last 3 episodes were a lot shorter.. but after checking the timestamps, they are still 40 mins. Sucks there isn't more now.

What does that mean?
