I started reading Demon Slayer; I'm about seven chapters in, but I'm enjoying it so far. (though I feel like I'll have trouble with remembering the names of anyone but Tanjiro or Nezuko, the main characters)

Also, I've changed my avatar to something more Christmas-themed.
I started watching this because my brother watched it and wanted me to check it out. I’m on like episode 14 so far. It’s not to bad, at least it’s easily accessible on Netflix.

I just found Demon Slayer......................alright.

Animation and music was great but the comedy felt very out of place. Story was eh.

I placed it in my Category 4 of anime ratings. So 5 to 7 out of 10.

Not my most controversial anime opinion I hope.

To each their own, I personally consider it the weakest of the mainline games.
Are we still talking exclusively about soundtrack, because I just remembered SwSh exists, and that's the one time I think they really dropped the ball with the music. Just soulless electronic music that gets old super fast. But then again maybe that was an allegory for the game itself.

Ignoring potential glitches, you need to fight Koga to use Surf before you can fight Blaine as that's the only way to reach Cinnabar, so Gym 7 always has to come after him
Right, there is that small detail.

Additionally, the way the levels work in Kanto nudges you on a certain path far more as Surge is decently lower than Eirika, and she's about eight levels lower than Koga and Sabrina
I mean, yeah, otherwise level progression gets screwed. But in the way it is, you can challenge yourself and change your route, or skip a GYM with bad typing matchup for you and do one where you have type advantage first. Having this freedom to plan and go to places that could be harder or easier for you is where the fun is. As s side note, my favorite speedrun category of Super Metroid (to watch, because I am not crazy enough to run that) is Reverse Boss Order. I love that game.

Demon Slayer is pretty good, but is it "150 million copies sold" good. No :yoshi:

Just tagging Lamperouge Lamperouge Wademan94 Wademan94 and other Xenobros that (on my side of the pond) it's now been four years since Xenoblade 2 came out, capping off still one of the best years in gaming ever. While shows its age in a few ways it is still an amazing game.

Still to me the game that really proved how amazing the Switch was.
Starting my journey through Alrest in my bedroom in Ireland in Docked mode and ending it a month later at 2am in an RV in the middle of nowhere of Florida in Handheld mode still meant a lot to me.

And how a few days before, I fell asleep at a gun range cause I stayed up til 5am trying to get KOS-MOS (and succeeded) is still a funny story. However best of all three and a half years later we got our second/third Xeno rep in Smash.
Perfection.

Whoo! Finished Deep Rising. Fun to the very end. Still holds up! Though I do admit the CGI doesn't really hold to date but that can be forgiven as it was a late 90s film.

And why no one should take Rotten Tomatoes as a source. This movie gets a 30%? Bull****!

The Sonic **** is just like that one time Nintendo did something similar to Fire Emblem


Now, granted, this was an April Fools' joke so you could at least find something to justify its existence.

I feel like this was something the modeling team did for ****s and giggles and then the devs liked it and ****posted with it.

If I'm remembering my culture right, the type of music that was in X and Y is a type of music that is actually popular in France

Oh boi, I can't wait to show what Amazon will be delivering here in a few days if I didn't just jinx it and my package will now get lost in a volcano or something.

That still triggers me, though. ELMA FOR SMASH GOSHDAMMIT!!!

Exclusively OST, and honestly, for as much hate SwSh has I'd still say it has great music. In fact, it's the one of the few things I see most agree on positively.

But in the way it is, you can challenge yourself and change your route, or skip a GYM with bad typing matchup for you and do one where you have type advantage first.

Potentially, but as we started the argument with, doing that means you're intentionally screwing the leveling curve so that you get put at a disadvantage for that challenge. I wouldn't call going to Koga after Misty a good leveling curve as there's a large difference between the two and doing so screws up how the other fights go in the game (Surge for instance gets stomped like Kraid in a sequence break run). It is a fun option to go after if you want that challenge, but the game is not properly scaled for it if you do.

Hey, this dude made some Peak Fanart. You should follow him.


As for me, I'll have something important to share this month. And I'm working on personal art for now unless some commissions come in!
