A month late. But all of my (new) 2025 TV/Movies/Anime ranked and tier listed out.
Feels like the first year in many that we actually had TV to be excited about.
Me thinks people really slept on Common Side Effects. You should go watch that.
Gonna disturb so much peace tonight.
Don't know about you, I'm feelin...
Overall what a great year for games. Both remakes and new. Tho any year where I get Silksong was always going to be S tier.
Anywhoo - TV/Movies/Anime recap and tier list will be late this year as I am still behind.
Many Nights a Whisper is another short (90 min) game that accomplishes my favorite thing in art/media -- making me feel something.
At the end of the game I felt honest to goodness real life anxiety and confidence. How many games have made me do that? < ... 5?
Ooo is a ~2hr puzzle platformer that makes you feel so smart because of how well it teaches you all of the little mechanics. It borrows bits and pieces from ~10+ S Tier games in the puzzle and platform and metroid genera.
If you like puzzle platformers even a little, it's a must.
Consume Me won like... every? IGF award. I initially put it off after seeing good reviews earlier this year, but I am happy that I went back to it. As someone who also struggles somewhere on the ED spectrum - the narrative hits a little bit harder. I liked spending ~6hrs managing my meters
Pipistrello is the best 2D Zelda game in the last 10 years.
It has a fun story. The puzzling and exploration is heavily focused on platforming. It commits fully into a GBA aesthetic. A love letter done right that way way more people who like this style should try out.

But let's 🧵a few of the indies you might not know about!
Friend: I am coming to LA where should I get Matcha
Me: HOLD I HAVE THIS DISEASE WHERE I HAVE TO MAKE A GOOGLE MAP FOR YOU THAT HAS WAY MORE MATCHAS THAN YOU CAN VISIT IN ONE WEEKEND SORRY.
Anywhoo. Incase you need a map of Matcha and Hot Chicken in Los Angeles.

You'd 100% fit in (if we were not now the bad adults :( )
Thank you bot

Remember to vote in California and come out to protest on Saturday 🤗
I love videogames. Silksong was worth the wait 🤗
Lost 12 hours of my Saturday to a game I have already played across decades and numerous consoles. Still cried. Still peak.
This right off the back of Death Stranding 2 has fully overflowed my Kojima cup.
Perfect Celebrity is a top 5 Gaga song.
Not a paid actor. But paid to be here. Oh no.
I wanna organize speed dating events at the supercharger.
Ghillie suit Miley is my new favorite Miley.
Doing your album as a movie concert is pretty fun. Great energy in the theater for a rocking hour.
Sorry I'm busy cute scooting today
The last time I had a day 1 console was the Switch 🥰
The Rehearsal episode tonight may be the single most inspirational hour of TV. The gold standard of "I committed to the bit"
Hold up I was just trying to play a video game tonight what's going on
It's... Fine? I like the food options seem silly.
Ok am I supposed to be able to tell the difference between Yuzu and Lemon easily?
7000 miles, 5 popups, 6 Bemani arcades, 7 national parks, 5 State capitols.
Was pretty cool meeting so many fans around the US and playing games with them.
I think I realized I was a coastal elite while looking for good coffee in a West Virginia Walmart. Fuck.
Wa(y)wa(y) over hyped
