    I enjoyed this one quite a bit, although as many have mentioned it gets pretty wild towards the end. I have no nostalgia for the original, but watched it a few months before this one and the two contrast really well. For one, Thom Yorke’s soundtrack is absolutely stunning and such an interesting choice considering Goblin’s music in the original.



  • I’m not really a JRPG person at all, but I picked up a SteamDeck with hopes of getting myself back into gaming and kicked up Final Fantasy X on a whim. I’m probably about half way through and having a great time so far. I grew up watching my brother play a lot of FF games (although I can’t say that I remember any of them ever being beaten), so I have a soft spot for them.

    I’m not really sure what I’m going to play next. I have a list of other JRPGs that I’d like to play, but I also started playing Suikoden II, so if I stick with it I’ll probably play something non-JRPG on the side to try and avoid burning myself out on the genre.


  • Random observation: This is only the third card to have both reach and lifelink - the first in Boros. Of the three cards with both keywords, all are different color combinations and were printed in or after Modern Horizons 2 (the other two being [[Arcus Acolyte]] and [[Tor Wauki the Younger]]).





  • Regarding the Marvel movies, I’ve slowly been working through them because I missed the bus when they were big and only saw a handful here and there (Doctor Strange, Guardians Vol 1 and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies, which are actually pretty good).

    I made it past the first Avengers movies and I think they start getting better after Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Avengers: Age of Ultron, but oh my gosh if the majority of the movies up to and including the first Avengers aren’t incredibly mid at best. I think watching them after all of the hype as they were coming out loses some of the charm, and I have to give props to what they accomplished creating a Cinematic Universe. But they are just so whatever.

    Just kind of rambling, but the whole MCU seems to be incredibly over-saturated and I would be amazed if they are able to continue to carry popularity even close to what they had leading up to Endgame.


  • They were just the default settings when I setup Emudeck a week or two ago. I did setup RetroDeck too as I liked the more containerized nature of it, but it seems to run an older version of Yuzu (has a different, lower number in the window name) and even when I mirrored the settings of my Emudeck version it was pretty stuttery and crashed at least once.

    But I can look at my settings and share later today.





  • I really hate being negative towards artists, but does anyone else feel like a lot of the recent card art looks rushed? I don’t know what it is, but it’s like the faces look too smooth and 3D. Not like actual pictures. Just compare this to the original [[Massacre Girl]] and it feels rushed (although different artists, so styles can certainly vary).

    I got similar vibes from [[Gimli, Counter of Kills]] and [[Rankle and Torbrand]] recently, just to name two cards off hand.

    It’s not the artists, because the same artists who I see cards that I think look bad have old card art that looks fantastic. I get the feeling that Wizards is asking artists to produce so much work that we aren’t getting the time put into a single card’s art that we used to and getting more rushed art.

    Maybe it’s just me. I’m curious what others think.


  • The one I have you can set temperature that it heats to and tell it to either hold that temperature or get to it and then it’ll just cool off if you don’t use it. It has more settings but I’ve just had it set to 194 for forever.

    I will say that I swear I spent closer to $50-60 for mine but it’s at like $105 on Amazon right now which is absurd. But looking at the price history on camelcamelcamel the price really has climbed a bit over the past few years. It used to drop around $60-70 a bit. Ridiculous how expensive things are getting.

    I’ve had an Anker 2 port 3A charger for at least 5 years or so and don’t have any complaints about it. I’ve been an Anker fanboy for a while (albeit, I don’t buy a ton of electronics, but when I do need something Anker is my go-to), but I will say that doing some Googling recently it sounds like their quality might be going down. Just something to be aware of; I’ll probably keep buying from them unless I have a bad experience or keep hearing similar things. I’m just not aware of an alternative that’s as good as they have been.
