Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 07/10/2026There's an argument to be made this had the best dungeons though, and the ending is actually more hopeful than expected considering its in some ways the most punishing entry. It's also the shortest game, so I only had to spend a week of my life instead of a month. 000
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Demon's Souls (8/10) Definitely my least favorite Miyazaki Game (haven't played Sekiro or DSII), but undeniably a game changer. The lack of bonfires, the 50% life point penalty, and enemy placement being further away definitely explains why a mage build is recommended. 110
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That said, the movie was more interesting when Georgina's co-op player was Skarsgard instead of Long. 010
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Barbarian (7/10) I liked it better than Backrooms This puzzle sequence in the attic actually feels like something that was missing from his Resident Evil. You really get a sense of how the whole house is structured and how to get past all the traps along the way. 121
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Jo and Raissa really fit the phrase "dynamic duo" in a way I don't see that often. Despite having different vibes, they're always on the same wavelength. Not once do they feel embarrassed to be around each other, so the power of friendship ending actually works.static.klipy.comRaissa and Jo DancingALT: Raissa and Jo Dancing 011
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Forgotten Island (10/10) Yeah, I cried more than once during this film. It's hard to write friendships that don't feel like they're just tolerating one another, but that's exactly how Jo and Raissa feel: BFFs in the truest sense of the word. 152
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This making it in meant I could use the best song of the season 😁static.klipy.comChainsmoker CatALT: Chainsmoker Cat 000
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yep, I'm Dating a Dark Summoner was worth a shot. Appreciate the focus on foreplay and awkward aftercare. 000
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Doesn't help that BN Pictures don't have the resources that the OG Sunrise series had. It's so stiffly animated and shot, missing the comedic timing of both the old series and manga. 010
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Unfortunately had to drop the new Keroro. I wanted to give the new voices a shot, but they're missing the SPIKES of anger that made the gentler moments with the original cast iconic (at worst, they sound mildly annoyed). 100
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 04/10/2026That said, I can see why several friends of mine found it annoying. It's very style-over-substance, tapping into some modern primal fears (COVID, school shootings, community surveillance, actual witch hunts) without delving into where they come from. To put it another way, it's very JOKER coded. 002
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Both this and Resident Evil feel like a prankster winding up a Jack-in-the-Box packaged like a bomb. You're only meant to take them seriously up until it explodes. 101
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Weapons (8/10) Definitely one of the funniest final set pieces in recent memory. These days people are shocked when a comedian directs horror, but not Zach Cregger. 111
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Hate to say it, but they're COOKING with this Malfoid art trend 89010
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Aachi and Ssipak (8/10) Lacks the heart to be Korea's Dorohedoro, but enough momentum to be MTV's Dead Leaves. 010

Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Dead Space Remake (7/10) A lesser rendition of one of my favorite games. Don't like how they nerfed the Plasma Cutter to make the Pulse Rifle valuable, and I prefer the OG asteroid shooter. Kendra is a more fleshed-out character, but Mercer got too much attention for less aura. 000
Reposted by DinostephenSamantha Ferreira Is Back On Her Book Bullshit @sam-animeherald.northsky.social · 21/09/2026It's impossible to really explain HOW far off the rails American media, especially, got in the wake of 9/11. Even innocuous stuff got the S&P "no" bat, out of "fears of upsetting the American public." 26633
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It's funny hearing about the complaints of HSR's current planet not getting enough new content, because I've still got like 44 hrs left of Amphoreous to get through. 😅 000
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Resident Evil (2026) Spoilers: Damn, this kid's absolute shit at this game. 011
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The other standout is the music, which gives these romantics outbursts the gravitas of a Kaiju film. bsky.app/profile/step... 020
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Part of this comes down to newcomer Senga Hikari, who also voices Anna in the new Precure. Her voice is just the right amount of precious. 120
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Kaiju Girl Caramelise (8.5/10) This really shouldn't work. The side characters were a mixed bat, and it only fully utilizes the kaiju gimmick at the end. But they nailed the chemistry between a girl afraid of her own body and a pretty boy with just as much sunshine inside. 151
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It's definitely pushing off alot of its story material onto the sequel. Surprised it didn't bother me either, because I'll be there Day 1. 110

Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 15/09/2026In fact it's those rare moments when she just lets the mask fall off where she's most powerful. 011
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Sitara (aka Fatima) is the most visible example of this. She's actually quiet awful as a schemer and goofy as hell, but the simmering rage inside of her is very much real. 111
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The show also refused to stick with perfect victims or one-note villains. Tolui's scenes definitely gave "the loving side of king von" energy, but that duality translates to the rest of the cast to some extent. Boraqchin in particular was terrifying. 111
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 15/09/2026How the Persians, Mongols, Merkit and more get in touch with the divine couldn't be more different, yet you understand how they were powerful enough to shape entire cultures. Doesn't matter if its blessing battles, building bridges, or pursuing knowledge: the signs are up there. 111
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (10/10) Very few topics can be described as truly foreign to anime, but the Mongol empire is very much one of them. To paint such a nuanced picture of all its surrounding culture was one of the most daring undertakings in this medium's history. 132
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 14/09/2026False Memory (10/10) My mind is spaghetti, but my heart is full. If FLCL was about growing up too fast, this is about reckoning with past regrets rather than disassociating from reality. It's easy to feel lost or run away, but only by reaching your hand will you be remembered. 040
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Resident Evil 4 Remake + Separate Ways (10/10) The OG will always remain a groundbreaking classic, but tying this story closer to RE 2 and giving Ashley & Luis more humanity while introducing parry mechanics turn what could've been an unnecessary cash grab into a masterpiece. 010
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 12/09/2026It also helps that the destruction and stuntwork is all practical, leading to some of the Best Car Chases of the decade. For a 2hr40min film that felt like Part 1 to a bigger story, I couldn't wait for more. 010
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Hope (10/10) Korea now has its own Dune Pt 1. I actually dig how the Monster VFX don't look TOO realistic (reminiscent of Ang Lee's Hulk), as their unnatural nimbleness and broken frame-rate makes them genuinely unpredictable. 120
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It's devastating to see that he wasn't there to discover the One Piece himself, but this being his last words as Buggy is something to be proud of. RIP Mike McFarland. 11614
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Like this had no business being as hype as it was. 020
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Shout-out to Shinnosuke Nakasone (debut) and Yuki Furuhashi (MHA Vigilantes), because their music for Kaiju Girl Caramelise is what really make this romcom monster mash work. 171
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 10/09/2026If what's come out is true, this might be the last time Mike Mcfarland voiced Buggy. 06126
Dinostephen @stephenweirdy8.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Re Zero spent 9 eps asking if Subaru could still be a hero when stripped of his past growth. He was convinced the man in his friend's memories was superman, only to realize his blank slate proved he was simply a boy fighting for a good ending. He is Subaru, but also himself. 000
