After playing some "Witcher 3" remaster I finally giving up. The light engine is quite broken either way but I can live with that as when it works it produces some gorgeous results but that constant crashing while loading data is too much. Last time I saw game so u stable was MGSV.

"Primetime" was really good. While it is a very 2006 set film, I think the bigger, more modern picture is more interesting. Clout chasing and thrill of attention seeking in post 9/11 reality is still here. The screen as the way to see clearly the distorted reality channels Assayas vibes.

I thought that since "Witcher 3" is remastered it will be a bit more polished but both performance and ray tracing modes are choppy as fuck. Performance mode lighting is all over the place, and cut screens still tend to have that odd delay between takes. I think it will take more patches.

HBO MAx finally has the new master of "Eyes Wide Shut" to stream. I am still waiting for European Blu-ray but it is a great option to check the new master out.

Arca set was fire. I did not had this much fun this year from any show (Basinski was a different more somber/melancholic type of fun). The absolute sonic obliteration served has impaired my hearing and healed my soul. Mika Levi felt a bit uneven and Kavari was good but I was too exhausted.

I am not fan of digging up stuff that happened decade ago and act like people can't change and get better despite their prior sins (Catholicism did this to me) but I am a petty fuck so I enjoy to see a fall from grace of Jacob Geller, who was slightly not nice to me on twitter once.

Watched the new "Resident Evil" and I was right - this could be called "Left 4 Dead" and it would feel as much accurate. Fun but way too semi-ironic in that cursed Joss Whedon way. Ending also feels completely abrupt and unsatisfactory. I get what it was supposed to be but it doesn't work for me.

the My 9 games trend reminded me I did this some time ago in similar fashion. I would probably swap now "Dark Souls" for "DOOM II" but such version of this list is still accurate.

Watched the new 4K scan of "Trainspotting" and while I think the cinema had its projector set to be a little to dim it looked good. I still have my reddish master on Blu-ray but the new one works quite well. As for the film itself I am not surprised they did heroin when smartphone weren't around.

The most famous lesbian bar on the internet reminded me of a queer fetish sex party in London that wanted to be so progressive that it became it own demise, because in the end it attracted people who wanted to argue about semantics and not fuck each other in the dark room.

I saw that Criterion has released blu-ray of "Godzilla vs Biollante" and got excited that it may indicate Heisei era film to get a new release but it looks like licensing hell is still a thing and only option are double packs released by Sony which are locked to region A and do not include all films

I think HALO would work better in hands of Id Software than Activision but at this point it is a cursed property anyway...

Started the 5th season of "The X-Files" and it kinda starts to mutete in tone a bit. I am not a fan of all that narrative deception in the first two episodes but other two episodes were pretty cool so it hard to complain for now. Also I see that this one is a bit shorter season for whatever reason.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised how "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2" looks in performance mode. I mostly do not care about 60fps unless this is a an action game and often performance modes look atrocious but here despite more aggressive pop up do to LoD and slight resolution drop it looks great.

That is a bit of a difficult question as I did not had an easy access to video games when I was a kid but I think seeing "Wolfenstein 3D" for the first time on my uncle's PC and thinking I could play that all day was that moment.

Went yesterday to screening of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" with live music performed. The band composed a soundtrack for the film that was a really working with the film tone and style. Pity someone who was responsible for the copy of the film itself decided to cut the aspect ratio to 16:9 😤

Last two weeks were filled with quite a lot of quality shows. Open Source Art Festival was really solid (Aho Ssan just destroys with the sounds he can create) and I am happy that I was able to go last Sunday to Opera Festival and see William Basinski live performing a very somber piece on a piano.

Had a surprise double feature on Friday as I went to "Rocky Horror Picture Show" which was a blast and a great way to refresh film which I saw 20+ years ago. Now I was able to actually catch the references to Ed Wood's work which back in highschool were completely foreign to me.

I saw this take that Japan after Hiroshima and Nagasaki created bangers film more or less directly tackling the issue but USA hardly did any film about 9/11 that culturally significant. But that omits "Southland Tales" which I find the most significant film of the Bush-era psychosis.

OoT remake looks exactly like those cursed Unreal Engine fan demos. Zero art direction, everything look like a bootleg Chinese toy and of course ton of light effects just because they are available. I feel nothing for this. Even that "Panzer Dragoon" remake created more emotions in me.

Finished "The X-Files" season 4 and it is solid season but you can see towards the end that there is increase in narrative trickery since just a mystery of a monster in the lake or in the forest is not enough. It is kinda annoying and I never was a fan of such solutions but that what TV is like.

Moonhexer @moon-hexer.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Returned to "Stalker 2" and it is pretty insane how frail my character still is. I recently wanted to fight with some ghost-wolfs and they just killed me in to bites. Will return to it later but now I am stuck in electric anomaly and it was easier to get it than to get out. Zone is not for the weak.

I maybe stupid but I bought the preorder for physical release of "Dread Delusion" which I already bought twice (Steam and PS5) but the game is really great and it would be nice to have a physical version in collection.

Preorder done. Played demo on SteamDeck and this is game channels "Ikaruga" sequel vibes like nothing else.

I played "Crimson Desert" for a brief moment and I feel like I should start playing "Witcher 3" instead. It just so much shit it this game that it feels way too overwhelming for me at this point but if I was unemployed that would hit like crack.

I love how true crime culture has rotted everyone's brains to search for conspiracies and plot twists instead of accepting the fact that children will literally destroy your life. But I have to say Dahmer will feel like nothing when this case will be made into a tv series.

Start of September is always moment I feel immense saddness. Late summer is my favourite moment of the year as there is melancholy to it the same way as watching a beautiful sunset. The fleeting moment in time you want to keep for eternity. Pity this year summer was cold so no chance for that.

"HALO: ODST" feels as if someone played "Bioshock" and siad they want similar feel. When I saw the map I asumed it will be sort of a urban warfare focused but it is hardly a thing. Also that bloom effect just feels so overdone.

Watched yesterday "Goodbye, Dragon Inn" and it is such a charming film. I did not know it is a slow cinema kind of experience but I fully embrace it. The nostalgia of it is my thing and absurd comedy moments that are drawn in time to breaking point are also great. Absolutely loved it.

I’ve been derelict in my #ScanlineSunday duties, so here’s some early pics of an RPG I started this week. (Skies of Arcadia Legends for GameCube on a Panasonic CT-27SF14V via S-Video)

A battle screen. The red-headed Aika stands ready on the loading bay of an airship, a look of determination on her face.

A shot from below of Aika and Vyse (wearing a one-eyed goggle eyepatch) staring down at the awakening Fina, wearing looks of delight and surprise respectively. The wooden ceiling of their airship behind them.

Vyse climbs down the ladder on the side of a massive metal airship as the light of the breaking dawn shines across the screen.

The smarmiest-looking man of all time looking to deflect blame by killing his subordinate.

Panzer Dragoon Saga - Play it Now! Giving you a taste of life in a far-future science-fantasy world of bio-dragons and airships: Sega Saturn Magazine in May 1998. I still had a Saturn then alongside a PlayStation; this and Shining Force III were the last two new games I bought for it.

DSLL 5 is hideous but I would say that the whole DSLL technology is a scam and holds back games by providing smoke and mirrors solutions instead of giving us a resolution bump like in the old days.

I still did not figure out how to make games that have option to control by gamepad like "Second Sight" to recognise Steam Deck as gamepad and not mouse and keyboard. It would make my life easier to just use gamepad bindings and not those converted controls from keyboard.

All that time I was pretty convinced that "The Blood of Dawnwalker" was another FFXIV expansion and it appears to be a completely unrelated game.

I have to say I finally feel the flow of HALO and thanks to that HALO 3 feels a bit easier (+it has more generous checkpoints). Soon my diet will be just Doritos and Mountain Dew to achieve 2007's peak zen.
