I haven't watched the Odyssey yet, and wanted to see it before it leaves. It's been 2 and half months, and this is the current seating for an iMAX 70mm showing at 10 pm today. 😭 At this point, I'll settle for a regular 70mm showing inside a smaller theater, but with better seating. 😔
Middle rows are fully taken. Only available seats are in the front 3 rows.

I am a graphics snob, and enjoy seeing all the latest improvements in photorealism and lighting. But just because I'm a graphics snob doesn't mean I can't appreciate and marvel at these amazing prerendered background visuals in OG Final Fantasy 7.

I'm positively addicted to Vampire Crawlers, and I personally enjoy it more than Vampire Survivors. I spent a good amount of time on Survivors, but something about card games will always tug at my soul. It's the Yugioh player in me. 😌

When I first seriously got into gaming and built my first PC about 13 years ago, I played all my games on Easy cause I was there for vibes and story. Or because I was in a hurry. A side quest is to replay all of these on Normal. BG1 and BG2 done, several more to go. 👀

As tempted as I am to drop everything on my current plate and dive back into Witcher 3, I'm going to wait for the upcoming expansion. And that'll give me enough time to replay Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 on Normal difficulty.

Was wondering why the Vampire Crawlers main menu theme felt like a melodious JRPG final boss fight. And then I learned the composer is the legend herself, Yoko Shimomura.

While streaming yesterday, I found one of the USB ports on the back of motherboard dead. Power in the port works, but no data transmitted. Tried many things, even updated my BIOS. Nothing. Thankfully, I had an external USB hub. Definitely better and safer power wise in the long run.

Fallout 1 and Wasteland were both made by Interplay. Bethesda owns Fallout now. Remnants of Interplay became inXile Entertainment, and made Wasteland 2 and 3. Now Xbox owns Bethesda and inXile. We've come full circle. Just recreate Interplay and Black Isle Studios at this point. 😔

Found my new "Youtube on 2nd monitor while I relax" game: Vampire Crawlers. I like first person dungeon crawling. I like card games and card battlers. Perfect combo of dopamine and serotonin. Especially the victory music. 😌

Some of my favorite things to do after finishing a game is reading its TV Tropes page, and watching a speedrunner get OP and break the game.

Game 38, 2026: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn + Throne of Bhaal DLC Most would say Bioware's magnum opus is Mass Effect, and I would've agreed years ago. But now, I argue it's BG2. Romance, in depth companion quests, factions...all started here. I even argue BG2's story > BG3's story. (1/n)

Never got into Starcraft or RTS games. Huge learning curve and lots of micromanaging units. The Draconis fight in Baldur's Gate 2 is the closest I'll get. Two phase fight where a guy turns into a dragon AND can turn invisible. After 2 hours of reloading and looking up strats, fuck this guy.😤

A really frustrating aspect of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 is having a game over screen if your main character dies. Imagine you're a couple hits away from defeating an annoying boss fight...but the MC dies due to an unlucky dice roll. Time to reload and attempt the entire fight again. 😭

This might be the first time I've ever seen a collector's edition that doesn't even include a digital code or copy of the game lmao. And the items don't even include an artbook, or Lucia and Jason figurines either. But watch this sell out quickly anyways. 👀

POV: You're a straight woman playing Baldur's Gate 2. Your only romance option is fucking Anomen, a goody two shoes preachy cleric fighter. Meanwhile straight men get to choose from 3 baddies (Jaheira, Aerie, Viconia).

Haven't started the game yet, but the radio in Silent Hill Townfall reminds me of a Gameboy Color. Watch a modder create a custom Gameboy Color shell based off this design now. 👀

It's time for me to rant about the terrible "canonization" of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. There are 2 companions from Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 who return in 3, but suffer full character assassination. This was one of the most disappointing parts for me This isn't on Larian, but on WotC's canon. (1/n)

Baldur's Gate 3 is mechanically and visually superior to BG1 and BG2. But Jon Irenicus, the antagonist of BG2, is the best villain out of all 3 games. Compared to BG3's villains, Irenicus is intelligent, sinister, and philosophical. He might be one of the best video game villains of all time.

I was going to play Townfall even if it received mixed reviews. After marathoning the series earlier this year, and suffering through Homecoming and Downpour, there's no way Townfall could be worse than them. Such a great time to be a Silent Hill fan. 😌

This shot of Jenova from OG FF7 immediately reminded me of the Angel Lilith from Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you know the story of FF7 and NGE, the similarities are even more striking.

Boy Dinner Diary: While waiting for my steak sandwich, 3 older dudes at the table next to me discussed anime, and they brought up Ghost in the Shell. Had a nice chat with them, and one of them said he owns the DVD set for SAC. I told him to hold onto that physical media for life. He agreed. 😌

Deus Ex. Before, I mainly played Pokemon and whatever handheld RPGs I could emulate. After a friend's recommendation, I played it on a laptop in 2012. The game blew my mind, and inspired me to build my first PC next year to play Human Revolution. That's how my gaming journey truly began.
