Last year, I decided it might be fun to pick up one game for every month of 2020, but that's turning out to be very difficult.
Nothing came out in January except for the new Yakuza, but that won't be coming stateside for a long time, and I haven't even played a single Yakuza game in the first place, so there'd be no sense in picking up the 8th installment. The only other thing of interest is this one called Journey to the Savage Planet, which looks pretty average. It's only $30, though, so I might pick it up.
Dreams was my February game, of course. Pretty easy. Besides that, there's Granblue Fantasy Versus, which is a fighting game, and I love those, but it's also a weeby fighting game. I don't love those. Especially when spun off from some gacha trash.
March has a good number of options, but the only one that appeals to me specifically is the new Animal Crossing, which I just ordered. You probably wouldn't expect me to like Animal Crossing, but in these trying times, I would definitely appreciate something to help soothe my psyche. I'm also interested in the new Ori game and Half-Life: Alyx, but I have nothing to play them on right now. As for Nioh 2 and Doom Eternal, I can wait to play those.
April is looking like shit, unless you like remakes. I'll have to hope something gets a stealth release; otherwise, my only option is to speed through Final Fantasy I-VII so that I can play the remake. I can't just skip to VII, because my particular brand of autism prevents me from playing games out of release order, even when the games have nothing to do with each other. At least I already own them all.

also yeah i love disney but fuck frozen
What the hell is wrong with Frozen, other than it being popular? It's a great franchise with memorable and likeable characters, not to mention truly mesmerizing songs and messages that everyone should hear.
i haven't seen the second one, but the first one is just so fucking lame and bland and formulated the animation is good and all (as far as CG goes, anyway—i will always prefer hand-drawn stuff), but the recycled artstyle from Tangled just makes everyone look like a barbie doll, which is very off-putting to me the songs are extremely overrated (although i won't pretend that i didn't ironically belt out "let it go" at a party with my choir friends once), but even if they were truly great, it's not like they should carry the movie i appreciate the film's attempt to deconstruct disney's typical and problematic "dopey girl falls in love with random prince at first sight" trope by revealing that generic prince character to be a complete douchebag in order to show that you shouldn't just blindly marry someone just for being handsome or charming on the surface, but the message behind this subversion is undercut by the fact that anna ends up falling for that other schmuck anyway if the movie was like "she doesn't need a boyfriend!" it would've been so much better, and a great message for little girls, but no, i guess at the end of the day, you really DO need a man to feel complete after all the little snowman fuck wasn't as annoying as he could've been, but his presence was still unnecessary, and he definitely shouldn't have gotten his own song they also make the reindeer behave like a fucking dog, which is a huge pet peeve of mine—because the audience couldn't possibly sympathize with a stupid animal unless it acts like something cute and recognizable, right? ugh, disgusting the movie is a 5/10 or a 6/10 in my mind, but proportional to how popular it is, it's probably my least favorite

Nothing to see here if you're not a developer. I learned a few things, but a great deal of the techy minutiae went way over my head. When they said "deep dive," they weren't kidding.
Also, Mark Cerny's creepy voice is kind of grating.

Spoiler Okay, I just watched the first episode.
This is an show about a couple of degenerates in a fantasy setting who go from brothel to brothel to fuck as many anthropomorphic animal girls and monster girls as possible, posting reviews about their experiences all the while. It's surprisingly explicit, even for an ecchi show, but it's all just supposed to be funny, I guess. There's a lot of epic gamer jokes thrown in to appeal to the nerdy RPG crowd, and absolutely nothing is taken seriously (as one would hope).
Clearly, this is one of those "take it or leave it" kind of shows, where it's pretty much as enjoyable as you want it to be. If you're a 12-year-old zoomer, you'll find the show hilarious. If you're a normie, you'll be confused and disturbed. If you're a porn addict, then it's probably too boring and vanilla for you, but you'll masturbate to it anyway, because an orgasm is an orgasm. If you're a feminist, it will disgust and offend you.
Shows like this, where you can accurately predict exactly how certain types of people will react to them just by reading off the premise, are extremely fucking boring to me, because there's very little room for discussion. You either like the show because it gets your rocks off, or you don't because it doesn't. There's virtually no way to dissuade someone from watching a show like this if they've already latched themselves onto the premise, and on the same token, there's virtually no way to persuade someone like me into believing it has any merit or value whatsoever.
The fact that the show doesn't try to be anything more than what it is is somewhat respectable, but that's not something I feel inclined to give it any points for—nor do I feel inclined to give it points for anything else. I won't complain about how asinine the plot is, because that's the whole point—but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Naturally, this extends to the characters as well, who are all dogshit.
The art style is atrocious, which is a big problem in a show that's trying to be sexually titillating, and for a comedy, it's not even a little bit funny. I can only laugh at the idea that any of the show's jokes are supposed to be funny—and if that's the intent, I still don't consider that a good thing, because it's a kind of laughter that comes from a place of annoyance and exasperation and hatred, rather than a place of genuine enjoyment or appreciation.
A person who enjoys a show like this is a person I will never understand.

Dude, what's your book about?
it's like an anti-coming of age story about the struggle for a small town introvert to grow up, be an adult, and connect with the modern world, told primarily through a series of quiet and ephemeral moments on the bus during his various commutes
not the most exciting premise in the world, but it's supposed to be a very raw and moody and psychologically troubling story that doesn't really do a lot for you on a moment-to-moment basis, but sticks in your head long after you've finished reading it, and makes you wanna take a long cold shower aftewards (or just cry)
it's basically looking like a fictionalized autobiography at this point, but i'm working on introducing elements that stray from my own personal experience, which is challenging yet fulfilling
Am I in it?

on a weird impulse, i considered buying some kind of drawing device and learning how to draw, just to develop some other dumbass worthless skill, if only to say that i have two of them

besides video games, this'll give me a bit more time to make some headway on my book
i've been having up-and-down periods with it lately, where i'm thinking either "this is gonna be the greatest book ever written" or "wow literally nobody is going to read this let alone enjoy it lmao" which sucks but that's the way it be
if it ends up being a failure, and i struggle to do anything else in life and die a loser because all i know how to do is write, i'm glad that it won't be entirely my fault, because the world is sort of falling apart right now anyway (even after coronavirus clears up, we're still getting four more years of trump)

Can someone tell me why people are panic buying toilet roll? The virus doesn't even give you the shits.
Is it because of some misinformed boomer Facebook post that's been making the rounds?
so that people don't run out in the event of a quarantine or at least, that's the idea

why are american cartoons always so hideous
because america is still under the impression that cartoons are supposed to be funny (if not exclusively for children), and that part of being funny is having a goofy artstyle i don't think the artstyle is that bad, but the comedic aspect of bojack does tend to be a detriment to the show imo i literally just want the harrowing depressive shit, and i certainly get a lot of that, but it's too often undercut by some pretty lame and family guy-esque jokes that i don't understand how people can tolerate like, i get that it's there to provide balance and shit, and to make the dramatic stuff hit even harder when it does happen, but there's only so many dumb sex/drug jokes, pop culture references, and political agenda-pushing that i can handle (even when i wholeheartedly agree with everything the writers have to say about society/politics/celecrity culture; i just need shows to have more than Topical Dialogue Containing Messages That I Agree With to truly love it)
