New Kubo Art: The Original Gotei 13

I was watching the gameplay reveal for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom earlier, and man does it look sick. May 12th cannot get here any faster. Anyway, after that I decided to watch NintendoBlackCrisis’ videos on the Zonai in Breath of the Wild because they were mentioned in the gameplay video. I needed some long form content to listen to as I was washing our bedsheets so hey, this works out. I am only a quarter through the second video (the first one is 43 minutes, the second one is 85) and man, is my brain fried. Zelda lore is fun. The videos are really good and informative. A lot of it is speculative but it’s still really fun learning about this hidden tribe of people that you can only learn about in game via some ancient ruins and developer interviews.

Just so people in the US know, Hulu will be raising their subscription price next Monday, when Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War premieres. I signed up for the ad plan which is currently $6.99 and will be $7.99 on October 10th. I assume the no ads plan will be similar. I know this isn’t a huge price increase but I still think it’s worth mentioning. So get your free trials while you can.

It’s been just over a week since I got back into streaming and man, does it feel good! Before my hiatus I felt tired and burnt out and I didn’t want to even look at any video games. Now, I feel great! I look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays a lot more and I’m having a lot of fun playing games again! It’s nice. But since I’m now at the halfway point of what I’m currently playing, I’ll need to figure out what I’m gonna play next. Which is also exciting! I’m just happy to get back into it and to have fun doing it!

One week until Scarlet/Violet release!

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

As I mentioned before, I’m going to my local comicon today and I wanted to represent as many fandoms as I could with my outfit. Introducing:

The Fandom Fit.

The Sans hoodie from Undertale, a Chainsaw Man shirt, a Straw Hat Jolly Roger pendant from One Piece, a Hollow Ichigo mask from Bleach (plus my phone case is based on the Substitute badge), pants inspired by Sora’s outfit in Kingdom Hearts III, and while they are not pictured I’m also wearing Bowser socks.

Today should be fun. 😊

Thank you for making such a charming and fun game! I had a great time!

Last week, Nintendo had an Indie World Showcase. It's like a Direct but primarily for indie games from developers all around the world. A lot of cool games were shown (Have a Nice Death, Pepper Grinder, and Oni, to name a few) but the one that really grabbed my attention was this weird looking game that was released on the same day. Once Upon a Jester. It's about these two friends, Sok and Jester, and their quest to win a chance to perform at the kingdom's Royal Theatrical Spectacle. This, however, is a ruse so they can steal the Royal Diamond! A game where two idiots perform improv theatre so they can steal a big jewel? Sign me up!

The game itself was really fun! The developers, Bonte Avond, recorded most of the dialogue in one take. It definitely shows. But this is by no means a criticism. In fact, the way the dialogue is recorded makes the improv in the game feel much more authentic. Plus it's really funny to see what they came up with. The gameplay is pretty simple, with the player needing to complete quicktime events during the performance to get a good score. The main goal with each performance is to get 5 bouquets from the audience, with a total of fifteen in each town you perform in. If can't get five in one performance, no worries. You can keep trying as long as you need. The plot isn't going anywhere. Also, since the developers are primarily musicians, the music slaps. As someone who spent all of high school and college doing theatre, I can't recommend this game enough.

This isn't so much a review as much me wanting to talk about this really charming game. If you have a Switch or Steam and an appreciation for theatre, then Once Upon a Jester may be for you.

Oh, also Corpse Husband has a cameo in the game. It's hilarious.

Last night, I finished Stone Ocean, and man what a great finale! Not only for Stone Ocean, but a great finale for the story of Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure up to this point. It’s become one of my all-time favorite anime/manga. Gonna start reading Steel Ball Run now because who lnows when that’s gonna get adapted? I’ve heard many good things so I’m very excited.
