More of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! I've beaten the two Axons and I've just entered the Monolith.


Spoilers for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. )


In this game, I often find myself facing a powerful enemy, failing, going 'well, this is obviously impossible' and then beating them on the second try. It's pretty satisfying!

I've started prioritising Agility to a ludicrous extent. Pouring all of my points into it, neglecting all of my other stats. It's just so useful!

FE selfship lore I: the broad sketches

kradeelav: Zihark, FE10 (fe)
I've been procrastinating on filling out this FEH selfship meme that I made simply just because there is so much goddamn lore I've cooked up over 20 years. :P and it was a little hard filling out a question and halfway through realizing that people probably won't give a shit about the non-Heroes backstory.

SO i'm just gonna... lay out the context here for people who do want to read it, and then that way i have a link to point people to if they want the long version. 

[ ok but what the fuck are you talking about krad ] oh yeah lol. i've been obsessed with a series of games called fire emblem for twenty years now. the base games/worlds are marvelous and absolutely well worth playing by themselves. i just happen to have shipped my self-insert with zihark for said, uh, 20 years. got a shit ton of art with them. it's a thing, sometimes you'll hear the concept be called selfshipping or being a yumejoshi. (bright eyes/krad/she/her/your summoner all OK to refer to the self insert, just for clarity's sake, i ain't picky).

ONWARDS TO THE LORE

oh my fucking god i wrote a novel whoops )

Fridge/Meal Prep Edition

I cleaned the fridge, inside and out.

All the ingredient-produce items from the past couple grocery runs are cut up and ready to go for bibimbap/kimbap/stirfry over the next week or so.

The inside of the fridge looks and feels so much better. ☆

And the kitchen feels so much better. Part of meal prep included clearing out/re-organizing the counter space.

Best of all, doing this means that next week will be MUCH EASIER as far as spending/food/planning. I include all of the logistical, planning, and purchase-related events as intangible de/cluttering.

++ Eliza Dushku has graduated with a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling! I'm so proud of her, and I wish her the best with her newfound career path and journey. She deserves the best in the world.

++ A trailer for Zhu Yilong's new movie, Dongji Rescue, dropped the other day. I wasn't even aware that he had something new coming out, so I was caught be surprise, and just seeing the images before watching the trailer I was like, whoa, and then after watching the trailer I got further intrigued. It looks action-packed and intense. Zhu Yilong has been quite busy, and I'm happy for him.

++ It's been officially announced that, after thirty-eight years, Spaceballs is getting a sequel.

I have to admit, when I first heard about this my immediate response was to go, "ugh, why?", because I think we can all agree we're tired of the constant sequels/prequel/franchising of IPs, and sequels from something after so long, while a good idea in theory, doesn't always deliver what was promised. But then I watched the announcement trailer, done in the only way Spaceballs should do announcements, and I could feel that apprehension draining away. It's still there of course, but I am curious to see what they do with it. Besides, we need more smart and clever parody movies that are genuinely funny. Spaceballs was always in on the joke and being quite meta and breaking that fourth wall (ex: Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money already a joke made in the first movie, now becoming a reality), so I want to see what they'll bring this time. And seeing as how Mel Brooks is getting as much of the original cast as they can to be onboard with this, it's going to be very interesting.

Sorry for the radio silence! I have just not been in a writing mood, I guess. But I'm back to talk about video games! A singular video game. I beat Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a couple days ago.

If you've seen other people's reviews, mine will come as no surprise. This was a great game and I highly recommend it. Clair Obscur is a single-player, story-based RPG with turn-based combat about a city of people living in a fractured world where a mysterious entity called the Paintress counts down a new number each year, and every year anyone of that age is erased, an event called the Gommage. When the game starts, the oldest people in the city of Lumiere are 33. Every year an expedition (mostly of people with one year left to live) goes out to try and stop the Paintress and the Gommage for good. You play as the members of Expedition 33 as they set out on this year's expedition.

This fascinating premise is what prompted me to pick up the game, along with all the positive reviews I'd seen. I was very glad to discover they weren't lying--this game slaps! The combat is fun and engaging, the soundtrack is gorgeous, probably one of my fave video game OSTs, and the story kept me hooked from the very beginning to the very end. It's a story about grief, and about family, and about art. It's also a game where you can beat the shit out of freaky mimes and dress up your characters in outfits with baguettes and berets. I would definitely recommend checking out this game.

For those who have played it, VERY SPOILERY thoughts continue below the cut: Read more... )

Time for a dream roundup!


Dreams from April, May and June. )


I haven't really been remembering my dreams lately; I didn't note any dreams down at all for a period of over a month from early May. I wonder what makes my recollection fluctuate. Maybe I remember my dreams less if I'm sleeping at a comfortable temperature?

...If we come into proof of extraterrestrial life, everything we thought we knew is called into question. )

As stated previously, V/H/S has quickly become a favorite horror movie franchise. I'm also curious about some other horror franchises that I haven't seen yet and have been interested in for some time, one of them being Paranormal Activity, which oddly enough can actually fit into the V/H/S universe.
