Tried like 4 different credit cards and a bank transfer, and still Lenovo won't accept my fucking purchase. I am literally trying to give you money, WHY WON'T YOU COOPERATE. Between getting a laptop and buying a phone last year, I can't help but think how easy it is to just buy a stupid...

Moonrise on Netflix. It's big claim to fame is that the artist of Fullmetal Alchemist is involved with the art style. My girlfriend and I were enjoying it quite a bit, then it just ended. Plot goes absolutely fucking nowhere. It's like they decided to take "show don't tell" to the next level...

When I first saw gameplay, I was excited for about 5 seconds. I really miss third person cover shooters. Ever since building my PC, I've played a fair number of Gears of War clones and am still hungry to play more. But the cover system in this game looks atrocious, the gunplay like it was bought...

Apparently, Sony's idiotic decision to region lock their games on PC has been overturned. I can now purchase Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Spider-man 2 (I didn't care enough to check whatever the latest TLOUs are). Weirdly enough, Ghost of Tsushima is still region locked. So that...

I'm trying to buy a new laptop and I can fucking tell if products are genuinely bad or if stuck up redditors just can't imagine a world where their laptops don't run Doom on the caps lock key. Also, I learned from a trip to Bangkok that my stupid phone doesn't support e-sim. Or specifically...

The Bond game looks neat. I miss my schlocky third person shooters.

I know this may be in bad taste but... mommy.

Watched Rogue One again, as one must after watching Andor. What a bizarre experience honestly. Visually, the transition was seamless. There are some sloppy shots, probably from reshoots, but the handful of scenes we get such as anything with the Death Star and Yavin make up for it. But the...

Man that Mindseye gameplay looks ROUGH. Kudos to them for having not particularly scripted gameplay, but the gunplay looks straight out of 2005.

I agree we could have seen more of her and Cassian doing a big espionage. She was an active member of Axis for like 10 minutes on screen, probably less.

Finished Andor Season 2. I'd say it retains the same level of base quality as the first season, but lacks the same highs. The heist, the prison break, the escape from Ferrix. There's not really anything in season 2 that comes close to those payoffs. But man is it fucking good to see some...

I heard it was slimmed down considerably during editing. Both Ghost and Bucky had actual emotional moments apparently. Shame, I didn't think it would have added too much time.

Thunderbolts*, or as the kids call it, New Avengers I wanted to love it, but just kinda liked it. Florence Pugh puts on a great performance, which unfortunately highlights how pretty much every other member of the team is left behind the dust. Ava/Ghost may as well not even be in this movie...

I once read the manga weekly and I don't remember a Goddamn thing about it. Came off as more of a vibe than a plot to me.

Really low brow thought here: the thought of hearing the pope speak not only in English, but American-accented English, makes me uncomfortable for some reason. Someone also pointed that it's super weird to see the papal drip again. Good luck to him I guess. They could have gone way more...
