I even occasionally tweet.
Here's a big long empty space to symbolize the void in my soul.
Anything 51 and up is a recommendation, meaning you aren't wasting your time seeing it. Anything between 51-79 ranges from mediocre to very good. Anything 80+ is what I call a "Great Movie" and it's a must-see and is awesome to various degrees. Anything that's a 50 is something that I'm a fence sitter on (meaning I'm too useless to actually be able to make up my god damn mind) so it could go either way. 49 and under means you should avoid. Under 10 means I was probably raped by the movie or, at the very least, fondled. Despite the effort I've put into explaining my rating system, numbers are fairly often chosen at random (well, maybe my gut feeling) so I might actually like a movie I rated 75 more than an 85, I just really can't be bothered to go back and constantly re-do my ratings.

"Expect a little wonky dialogue since it's a translated game. And sometimes they talk a little too much. Also, there's a lot of convenience (we have a problem, oh look I can instantly solve it), which makes me think what's the point? But then again, I appreciate that it doesn't make me go find something for 3 hours. Aside from that, it's a gorgeous and emotional game about bunnies. It's tough but I can play it and I suck. Satisfying gameplay loop. Like the music too. Artsy and fun."

"It's just a prettier, better version of a game that was immaculate to begin with. At this point in my life, I like forgiving checkpoints, but that's a me thing. This game still feels great with excellent atmosphere. There's deep lore there too if you want to invest in it."

| 45 10% | Laya's Horizon (2023) - Aug 21, 2023
"It's pretty with gorgeous music and a lot of production value for what it is. And I enjoy the Alto games a fair bit. And maybe there's a good game in here but I don't think their jump to 3D really worked for them because I can't stand the controls. Maybe this is a me thing but I just found them annoying."

"There's some things I love about this game. The one-hit kill gameplay is great. It makes combat tense and strategic, along with satisfying. The game is also beautiful. But I don't rate this higher because the campaign could be better. It tells an okay story, but it does so in a pretty boring way. Run for a while in one direction then see some story, and fight. The fighting is sound but getting to it is a little tedious."

"I know that the seizure-inducing visuals are meant to be stylish but they're just kind of obnoxious and get in the way. However, the gameplay is king here. Shooting a well-placed bomb leads to combos that feel incredibly satisfying, even in the early levels when you can just sit there and feel the points racking up. And really, that's all that matters, because you're not coming to this for the story."

| 95 95% | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (2022) - Aug 11, 2023
"As much as I've always thought that Turtles in Time was my favourite TMNT game, I probably have to admit that this is just a better game. Has great graphics and the charm of the Turtles. The fighting is satisfying and actually has quite a bit to it, without being overwhelming. Basically, an evolution of the classics."

| 85 75% | Paquerette Down the Bunburrows (2023) - Aug 06, 2023
"Don't actually chase bunnies, it's cruel. But besides that, this is a surprisingly good pathfinder puzzle game. It operates simplistically because the buns move in predictable ways, but figuring out how to trap them so you can catch them actually gets quite difficult. You need so many buns to progress to new areas, but you can skip puzzles that are too hard. The style is cute and the music fits the style."
