just updated my NZ voter enrolment! reminder to any fellow overseas Kiwis that there's a only week left to check you're still correctly enrolled 📙🥝
alas, the new Castlevania game is (so far) pretty mid... I'm 4-5 hours deep and frustrated by a few things but the biggest one is that the maps are huge but the enemies are indistinct/repetitive and there's nothing interesting to find so exploring feels pointless
everyone should watch last year at marienbad!
you can buy one million kitchen tools at the supermarket but not the humble mortar and pestle, the backbone of civilisation, mankind's oldest friend
yesterday I was pretty functional but today my brain feels like it's turned into post-Games Week putty

psyched that Dead of the Brain is almost out in English!! When I talk to non-VN people about the history of Japanese adventure games, part of it is always 'these things have been around for decades and decades, but we never got the PC-98 heyday stuff here'. Finally that history is unlocked 🎵
PC Gamer@pcgamer.com · 2w ago"A fan translation group named WINE has released five English translations for PC-98 games in the last three years, including a pair of horror adventures called Dead of the Brain and Dead of the Brain 2. And the first one is now getting an official release on Steam just in time for Halloween..."

the lighting in Resident Evil (2026) is not as good as The Thing but it at least tries and gets pretty close in one particular sequence
common-or-garden Mads 🦆@madmacsfuryroad.bsky.social · 7mo agomy loudest MOVIES USED TO HAVE LIGHTING ever
if you see Resident Evil by yourself then it doubles as an Alone in the Dark movie
I'm watching the movie adaptation of this and it has a great new euphemism for homosexuality: 'he went in for abstract art, if you get my meaning'
common-or-garden Mads 🦆@madmacsfuryroad.bsky.social · 5mo agookay I'm only like a quarter of the way through but this thing is melting my mind, it's an interwar drama but it's written in a 19th century epic style and the combination is incredible there's a whole chapter where a guy sits on a chair too extravagantly and causes his FIL to have a heart attack
