iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

40. The Communist Manifesto Huh, it really does explains the state of the world at large.

39. One Battle After Another My first movie from this director and, man, what a first impression. Every scene and shot just oozes with surgical intent and the tension just keeps on rising and rising. It has a bit of a slow start, but once the setup's done, there's no stopping 'till the credits.

38. Tron Visually, the movie is absolutely stunning. Even without the context of how many firsts were accomplished in the production of this movie, its vision of the digital world is absolutely stunning. (1/2)

37. Peanuts Specials My girlfriend made me watch them upon learning that I've had no real exposure to Peanuts. They're really quite delightful. They perfectly capture a child's mindset while sneaking in jokes for a more mature (read: intellectually, not horny) audience. Basically didn't age at all.

36. Kirby: Squeak Squad Another title I wanted to play since childhood. It's a pretty good game. It doesn't have Smash-like moves for powers, but it's still a fun puzzle-filled romp. The Squeaks are delightful and a highlight of this game. The final boss is a total nothingburger.

100

35. My Brother's Husband A deeply heartfelt story about the meaning of family and the state of gay culture in modern times. A must read for anyone even vaguely interested in acquainting themselves with LGBT themes.

34. Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate I always wanted to play that game since I learned about it during the PS3 era. Pretty cool twinstick shooter with an emphasis on solving fluid-based physics puzzles. It's got great music by High Frequency Bandwidth that sadly doesn't seem to have made anything after.

33. Rayman 2: The Great Escape (PC) It's pretty neat and competent. The artstyle's vibrant and unmistakably European and leads you through frequent setpieces. But it does have some control wonks and the story throughline is like, mid children's movie from 1990's which is just kinda dry for me.

100

32. OFF (Original) Wow, this sure is a Rosetta Stone for indie games, huh? The battle system is kind of whatever, but that's about it for the flaws. The vibe and music are immaculate, the pacing is on-point and it constantly hits you with new stuff. It's kind of a platonic ideal of an RPG.

31. Epic Battle Fantasy 5 From a purely gameplay aspect, this might be one of the best JRPGs ever made. Tons of build options with equipment all holding unique properties, large enemy variety, status effects and debuffs are not only usable but even neccessary to succeed. (1/2)

30. The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin Of all sci-fi novels I've read thus far, I probably like this one the most. Intriguing and unpredictable plot, scientific concepts are communicated digestibly. Suffers a bit on slow pacing and characterization quality varies heavily between characters.

29. The Stranger, by Albert Camus If Meursault isn't autistic, then I don't know what he is. Honestly though, The Stranger is a a very direct, which manifests in the manner of writing itself. Presents its statement successfully. Hasn't changed my life, but I can see why it's considered a classic.

I've gone to the Poznań Game Arena yesterday. Fun time. Got some merch. I did not expect this figure of Tsuki Uzaki to be this big. This is now the biggest figure in my posession and I'm not sure how to feel about that fact.

Some of gift sketches I got from @jeaikeart.bsky.social over time. Their art's is real great. they deserve more support and attention.

I recently got a GameSir T3 Lite controller after hearing about it from trusted sources. From what I've tested, I've got to concur that it's a solid affordable option. Good build quality, high polling rate, Hall Effect Sticks. Only $20. If you're in need of a controller for PC, this one's a keeper.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a bizarre beast of a sequel. It retains much of the underlying skeleton from the first game, but the identity it took is almost entirely different. Looking forward to buy it on sale, as $70 is too much. It's also got a really solid character creator.

28. Iconoclasts Gorgeous pixelart, fun bosses and puzzles, neat story. As a metroidvania it kinda fails though. You don't really get stronger outside new story-mandated tools and what upgrades you can find in the overworld don't overlap with what you'll actually be doing during combat. 7/10.

120

27. Dreams of Aether A cute and short little Warioware-like. It'll take you less than half an hour to beat. I got it for free through the launch period and it's up for sale for a really low price. If you've never played a Warioware, this is a good enough introduction. 7/10

100

26. Umamusume: Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era Yo, this movie rules, go watch it. You don't have to know anything prior of Umamusume, it functions perfectly fine as a standalone. Insane animation and OST. These girls run like they're about to catch God and they'll make you feel stuff. 10/10

25. Puzzling Places (demo) I only played the demo for this one, but that's really enough to get the gist of it. You put together 3D puzzle pieces into landmark dioramas in a comforting zen environment. It doesn't sound impressive until you play it. Only reason I haven't bought is lack of money.

24. Pistol Whip If you missed arcade light-gun shooters, this is the best remedy you can get in the current market. It's got a great selection of tracks to shoot guys to, a wide array of modifiers and it'll make you break some real sweat to dodge those bullets. 9/10.

23. Walkabout Mini-Golf Okay, let's kick off a VR corner since I got my hands on PSVR2 recently. This game rules, probably the best mini-golf game out there through sheer control factor. Plenty of courses, more with DLC. Add to that scavenger hunts for new cosmetics and you get a great game. 9/10

Dinglebat @dinglebat.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

22. PEAK I played 10 minutes and had to drop the game because the camerawork was making me feel sick. Not giving it a rating due to that, it wouldn't be fair. Just be wary in case you want to check it out.

Gotta give it up for the Durant. Love that peeved metal ant.

21. Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun (Vol. 1-6) I ran out of physical volume to read so I'm putting on my list. Iruma-kun's really great. It's real charming from the start, but it really starts to shine the further you get, as characters get their individual spotlights. Looking forward to more.

19. Invincible Season 1 Yeah, I can see why this was a hit. It's a great superhero story with really well-defined characters. The animation's stiff at times, but it could be much worse. I do not understand why everyone hated on Amber, having watched this years after people got loud about it. 9/10

I've been going through Iruma recently in order to uncover my beloved's strategic weaknesses. Why's Amelie's cop dad so cunty?

18. Siralim Ultimate This is a theorycrafter's wet dream. The graphics are acceptable at best and the writing will slide right off your brain, but this a monster-taming genre on crack cocaine. This game will not appeal to anyone else, I myself dropped it. If that's your kinda hole, check it out.

17. Hellboy: Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil My first real exposure to Hellboy. I'm kinda disappointed, tbh. It's stylistically striking, but I didn't really vibe with the plot or characters all that much. Just not my kinda thing, I'm afraid. 6/10

16. Pseudoregalia Peak schmovement. The game is just long enough to fully explore its mechanics. It's dirt cheap. Buy it. 10/10

100

15. Lunistice Neat little indie platformer inspired by 5th Gen classics. Took me about three hours to beat, mostly due to trying to get all the required items for the true ending first try. Controls gave me a bit of trouble initially, I recommend switching the sprint button in the settings. 8/10.

14. Atlantis: The Lost Empire My girlfriend never saw it, so I rewatched it with her. It's still a pretty good time. An old-school adventure flick with fun characters and stunning visuals. It oozes with detail in every frame. My childhood recollection of it was shockingly solid. 8.5/10

My chances of pulling her were nowhere near the pity and with a 50/50 coin flip in place. Got The Wife first try. #WuWa

Dinglebat @dinglebat.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

I've spent all my acorns trying to pull her early, only for the luck to turn next pull, when I did the YOLO pull through pity currency. Never stop gambling. #WuWa

13. Feralnette AU, by bigfatbreak A Miraculous Ladybug AU fancomic where Marinette wholly neglects her personal life(bad) to devote everything to end Hawkmoth's reign. It's heartwrenching, it's funny, it's incredibly inventive with it's composition. It gave me inspired madness for days. 10/10

11. The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie Hey, did you know 2D animation is real cool? In short, it's a real fun movie that proudly wears it's roots on display. David Zaslav is a total imbecile for bungling up the distribution for so long. Go watch it if you can. 9/10

10. Unicorn Overlord UO continues Vanillaware's winning streak. Amazing art, stunning music and an intricate and complex battle system that'll have you tinkering with it till the last hours of the game. Only complaint is that the story takes a bit of a backseat in favor of mechanics. 10/10

Dinglebat @dinglebat.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Started playing Danganronpa games to get ready for The Hundred Line in time. DR1 sure is a PSP-ass game in terms of UI layout and I don't imagine SDR2 to be any better in that regard.

9. Wuthering Waves 2.0 Giving it an entry in regards to it's initial launch. The 2.0 update is a huge step-up in terms of the story, presentation and gameplay design. It really came together here. Special shout-out to the flying mechanic, it feels real smooth and natural to control.
