some zoomer just had the fucking AUDACITY to "correct" ME about Shadow the Hedgehog lore by going "acktyally, he wasn't raised in a lab on a space colony " (the discussion was very explicitly about games)
AS IF I NEED ANY MORE REASONS TO HATE THIS POSTIRONY POISONED SORRY SLOP OF A MOVIE
they are also acting SO smug about it by going "ugh, who cares about the original games", like a product they enjoy isn't just a poorly digested version of the art that I enjoyed
"who cares about the original-" well a fuckton of people obviously did, if some executive thought that it would be a good idea to make a movie based on the original! speaking of "nobody cares" and "the superior live action version sells better", how's the Witcher live action going? how's the Star Wars franchise going? Avatar? Capeshit? a fuckton of other slop?
matana finished watching Justice League
before watching this, for years I have heard literally nothing good about this, everyone were saying that one should just go straight to Unlimited and skip the OG League entirely
but this is a really solid cartoon! I liked it a lot, pretty much the only downsides were that episode where JL were killing Nazis and everything about Green Lantern and his writers' main pet peeve being desperately trying to prove that he is the worthy manly man even without the ring, but this just resulted in his emerald impotence and looking like an idiot who failed in his primary mission and literally broke an indestructible ring
also they predicted covid
matana completed RE: Code Veronica X
it's shit
I played it on PS2 and actual old TV and literally couldn't see the majority of locations because some gamedev decided to be particularly sadistic back in 1998
after struggling to find a fucking door in a save room for several times I switched to the emulator with cheats enabled and even in these conditions the game was a barely visible slogfest

I know that it's super early to call in any shots and predictions, but this looks really, really good
the upside of a long period of not playing: I can really feel Japanese lessons paying off
I am not skilled enough yet to play Three Houses entirely in Japanese, but I've become much better in detecting the typical localizer bullshit and then deciphering what was actually there either by ear or by visiting the Three Houses datamine website
and Petra is steadily solidifying her best waifu position, too, because her thing is simplified speech of a foreigner, her speech is indeed simple, full of desu/masu!
despite my better judgement, matana played Silent Hill 3
and well I'll be, this is actually a very well done game! It is spooky and scary and the sound design with the level design are able to make your skin crawl, and Heather has a character and she actively shows it
the madlads took two games, but they done it, it's a good game! I recommend it to everyone
