Licensed Disney game liminal horror was not on my 2024 bingo card
I know liminal is kind of a meme at this point, but that game legit gave off some uncanny vibes with the nonsensical layout, weirdly paced cutscenes and total lack of NPCs aside from the ghost.

Also I just looked it up on YouTube and there's a YT Kids channel longplay of the game with 44 million views. Huh.
The games in early 2000s went farther on the scary compared to newer games today. This is a kids game with Mickey Mouse and it has jumpscares.

Oh God the ****in' painting jumpscare, little kid me wasn't prepared for that.

Now that every starter’s had a 7-Star raid, I wonder if special raids will either slow down, or they’ll do a lot more weird ones like Dondozo.
Well there's always the Paldea starters maybe as a way to get them in new Pokeballs that aren't the basic one.

There's that Shiny Rayquaza raid that's coming that may be 7*

I know I was the one to preach about not giving up after the election, but...

Honestly I feel complete and utter despair regarding the situation in my country. I feel like everything about it has just utterly defeated me mentally and I don't know how I can go on

randomly thought of the time in Kid Icarus Uprising where Palutena told Pit that he needed some friends…and how by the end of the game (and honestly even before the game) she’s the one who literally has nobody outside of Pit…

damn Palutena both a bigot and a loser who can’t cook

Overwatch Classic has really put me in a hero shooter mood, as a result I have done nothing but play several hero shooters for hours on end

I still like Overwatch, despite it all, The differences between OW2 and OW1 are way more noticeable now that I have them next to each other to compare them too, and I think I prefer 5v5. I know Early OW1 and late OW1 are 2 different beasts so I need to go back, but from what I remember, Late OW1 and OW2 aren't nearly as different as the discourse around 6v6 would imply.

TF2 is still a **** load of fun, especially now that the bot crisis is over (although you still get people with names like "Jeffery Epstein" calling you slurs in chat) I wish Valve would do a bit more with the game, but still getting new maps and hats is more than I expected.

Paladins is also still a lot fun, I just get a bad vibe that it will go under soon, and I don't want that, the game is good it just needs some TLC a "Paladins 2" like what is happening with Smite might be a good choice, but I am still very skeptical about Smite 2 right now. (Also I forgot Amelia Watson was my announcer in Paladins and it jumpscared me.)

Now that I have found some characters I truly vibe with, Deadlock is starting to become a new addiction, I am having a lot of fun with it, and had a lot of fun before, but something clicked, and I can't wait to see what is in store for this game.

I am foaming at the mouth for Marvel Rivals, the beta was so ****ing good and every new piece of info has me dying for more, I cannot ****ing wait.


Also in playing these games, I realize that none of my mains have anything to do with eachother, maybe a vague archetype but not really:

Overwatch: Ramattra
TF2: Scout
Paladins: Betty La Bomba and Moji
Deadlock: Mo & Krill and Infernus
Marvel Rivals Beta: Venom

The only time I've ever seen a Pokémon manage to randomly thaw itself out was Cynthia's Garchomp. Game did not want me to get an easy win.

Whitney on the other hand, I can't say I've ever had trouble with her.

Top 5 Miraculous Ladybug characters:

#1. Lila
#2. Marinette
#3. Chloe
#4. Nathalie
#5. Felix

Miraculous is that rare show where I love literally every single character, but these are the five that stand out the most in my head.

I still don't know what that is but most American foods are trash in my experience. Except Reese's Cups, turns out I like peanut flavour but not peanut texture, who'd have thought

EDIT: I quoted the wrong damn post
For some reason I only really enjoy Reese's cups when they're frozen, and even then I don't like them too frozen because sometimes the peanut butter part has the texture of dust. But I do really like them cold, I used to eat way too much of them during quarantine.

American food products generally vary in quality from my experience. On the one hand you got the good stuff like the aforementioned Reese's cups and CTC as well as Cherry Coke, but on the other hand the average American's ideal of a chocolate bar is a Hershey's which is an affront to chocolates everywhere

Oh yeah no I've talked with Americans about this and it's because the US uses cheaper ingredients which makes a noticable difference
I mean yeah I guess that makes sense but I still feel bad for the American children who grow up with it.

Sweets are like a staple of childhood in my eyes so it pains me to think of growing up eating this puke flavored, textureless flat block of **** while European kids get to enjoy the absolute masterpiece that is Cadbury chocolate. It's just a little sad

It's incredibly sad. I see Mr. Beast chocolates creeping their way into stores here and feel disgusted as it only sells for the brand name, it's almost 3 times as much as the cheapest chocolate sold and twice as much as AA brands for literally half as much as your average chocolate bar. If I'm spending 3 euros on chocolate, I'm going for the high end **** like Tony's Chocolonely, a highly respected brand that also instead of doing war crimes to people for entertainment, campaigns for slave free chocolate as an industry standard

That would make every evolution line feel kind of homogeneous imo.

I like that there's single stage Pokémon and two-stage evolutions, it gives more variety to the dex.
On that note, some of my favorite Pokemon like Torkoal and Stunfisk don't evolve and I don't think they need to.

It annoys me a little when people call every single stage family a "missed potential".
