Fun fact: In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, with just one game of the Command Board and a bit of luck, you can get Ars Arcanum for Ventus before his first world.

I beg people not to pirate Kamen Rider My-th as a protest over Toei's simulcast release plans. Yes, it sucks that it's two days late and only available for four weeks, but supporting the official release while submitting critiques to official channels is the only way it'll get better. (1/3)

Ven's Castle of Dreams is one of the best worlds in Kingdom Hearts. Tiny person in just a regular house is such a good level trope and it has some of the most organic platforming in the series, especially inside the walls.

Screenshot Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. A mouse sized Ventus stands inside a living room area of Cinderella's house. Books, boxes and furniture create a fun platforming environment.

The player has completed a puzzle involving opening a box of matches to create a platform to jump across, though they could just use the selected Sliding Dash command to cheese it. I'm just saying.

I thought it was bad when a young Kingdom Hearts fan told me hardly anyone was on the internet in 2006. Now a young KH fan has tried to tell me hardly anyone was online in 2010 and online videos were only 140p back then. 🫩

In light of the new KH4 trailer, never forget what they took from us.

I hate how I immediately recognized the Keyblade as being the one from fucking Dark Road.

Saw Spider-Man Brand New Day. It was good. My initial impression currently has me tentatively ranking it as the fifth best Spider-Man movie and Holland's second best, but part of me thinks I might lower it below Homecoming once the new movie hype passes.

Nearly a year after TokuSHOUTsu broke new ground with the first official English simulcast of a mainline Kamen Rider, the TokuSHOUTsu brand seems Ike it is completely dying off. I hate it. At least I bought the blu-rays.

Gunvolt GX just looks like what Connect iX should've been from the get-go and the fact they're only considering it (as paid DLC!) for non-Switch versions right now is frustrating. 😑

First time beating Maverick Hunter X in over a decade. Honestly? Not really a fan. It's not bad, per se, but nearly every single change it made from the original is a change for the worse. Only one I like was the decision to have Light's Buster and Zero's be different. That's cool.
