Joker: Folie à Deux

a confusing mess (good) unlike a confusing mess (bad) joker 2 using the unreliable narrator of the first film in a intresting way to create a mixed mess of a film, the reason i feel it possitive here is it represents the state of gotham in the wake of the joker, confused, messy, a riot, and something (the court system) steps in in an attempt to be the janiter of this mess, i like the first film more but i dont understand the hate this one gets, i think its maybe not a great stand alone film but as a sequal i think it suceeds at being a look at societies view on the insane though this time from the perspective of said insane rather then an outsider in the first film, i liked the music but none of its got me singing, its more background noise, in a way its not a musical its a movie that uses music as representaitons of the characters mental states, i liked it but can see how it can be polerizing (even if i still think its over hated by those that are on the other side of the scale)

Core keeper

so i think im done playing core keeper i defeated the first titan and after that i got board so instead of forcing myself to keep on playing im just gonna stop, its got some terraria item bloat, alot of armour feels useless and took up a majority of my inventory space i liked the first half of the game but it had its flaws shrug

Stoneblock 2

straight, this is the worse modpack ive ever played between the garbage quests boiling down to going through a JEI tree for random rewards that range from carrot to end game item, the non exsistance of any need for cirtan mods and just the , look i found chickens fun that was a fun mod but its basically all i did, eh, garbage pack sorry i got about half way dont feel at all like continuing this

Botania, eh

Another Minecraft mod i wanted to 100%, all the achievements and challenges, but i find it... lacklustre, it gives you tools and wants you to create mekinisms on your own, allow you to use the tools to create farms on your own almost like a puzzle game the mod gives you a challenge, make a tree farm, here a bunch of tools... but i find it too liner, ive been playing it on off but upon trying to get a SS terrashatter im just... bored, it wants you to challange yourself and for the first half, i think it succeeds, but post elven, or rather a bit after, it just gets sloggy, the puzzle isn't their, and it falls flat for me, i really want to like botania, i really do i feel it almost is the perfect mod in making minecraft... more minecraft, but it just, fails much like me trying to write, eh, i could make a big write up on specifics, i love botania, but i more so love the idea then the actual exaction, i dunno i might come back to wait 20 hours to get 1,000 mana pools to get a SS, but i dont count on it...

Compact claustrophobia complete but not 100%

i was going to 100% it but the post game as it where is kinda... non existent, it looses alot of momentum after you finish the main quest line, granted i had fun doing that but as soon as i finished it i was basically thinking "oh thats it then" i think the pack wouldve been better without it, side quests along the way that you can go back and complete as there really isnt any i would've much preferred that as oposed to lazy post game quests such as "get 100000000" of this item, well there is one side quest i want to talk about

the glitched

the worse game design ive ever seen in a modpack is present here, when i say it is genuinly disgusting how horendous this game design is im not kidding, to put it short the glitch machines are small sub dimentions, in it, you do parkor to find rewards, the game design tells you this, do parkor get reward, so naturally once you parkour to the tower and get a reward, you can see another reward just out of reach, it is neither parkorable nore gettable with any information your given, none, and holy moley this frustrated me to high heven, why. reading online the seeming only way to do it is with either a grappling hook or hover boots, both the quest book never mentions and are useless outside of specifcally getting that quest reward, a reward that in no way hints to how to get it, its just frustratingly bad, especially compared to the rest of the pack, i honeslty think it was such a bad feature i wouldve fully removed it where i to design this pack it put a sour experience on my otherwise fun playthrough but ultiatmley it shows such lack of care for follow, its insulting, speaking of usless features, yeah, why is enderio in here the machines are removed and it cloggs up the JEI menue, why, it doesnt do anything, im all for mods in mod packs that allow for different play styles, non mandatory, but its in here for no reason, no quests use it, you cannot do anything with it, like when i say this i dont mean "oh its not useful for me" i mean its useless, the components are uncraftable, why is it in here, it makes no sense and was just consistently guttering up my jei searches, seriously its inclusion is nothing just like platinum and many other materials, though the enderio items are not there, arguably worse is the materials you get that are colourful scrap, platinum, irridium, both have no uses and yet they drop, im getting frustrated lets talk the good

The pack uses compact machines excelently being its core premise it flips skyblock on its head by instead of a tiny platform on a vast void, you have nothing in a tiny space, additionally i learned nuclearcraft via this modpack, found learning that fun (my fusion reactor exploded) fun

dont feel like typing anymore, honestly would i recomend this, no but i saught it to the end and i dont feel like typing anymore, eh

YU-GI-OH nightmare troubadour

So ill get this out the way, i didn't beat this game, no not i didn't get 100% like i like to with video games, no i did not beat the main story, i beat the expert cup for anyone familiar with the game... it just kinda, felt sloggy, id been playing for about 4 days straight, the possessives are the graphics, full 3d models for every card, the ui is very clean and fun, characters have animated sprites, there's just alot to love and playing the game was great fun seeing every monster modelled, but my exodia, does it get repetitive, not in the sense of oh im playing another game with the same deck, boooring repetitive, no i mean the pack system, the pack system at first was great fun, you unlock more as you go along each has a theme like oh this one is insects and oh this one is machines and while that's cool, the uncool part is-

No duplicate protection, no way to get single cards outside of the trading system, awful system, after you duel the same character 30 ish times at least they can ask you to trade a random card for a random card out of a pool of rubbish, honestly wow yeah you want my vanilla monster for a ritual monster 20 hours in yeah go ahead, the cards are not even unique to the character, a few are but if the pool determine it you can just get a card for trade that you already have, one you have 8 of even, on that, yes i had up to 8 copies of certain cards while not having the full set of cards from a particular pack, id understand this decision if there was some kind of actual trading system but with nothing it was just frustrating to try and get a specific card and be met with not even a new card you didn't want but a duplicate of a card you already have a full play set. (in yugioh you can have 3 copies of a card per deck)

Ultimately i stopped playing the game not only because of that, basically using the same deck for 5 hours as i would at most have 1 of cards needed for new strategies furthermore the progression in the game was incredibly slow, packs only have 5 cards, you get at most half a packs worth of currency (KB the games currency is earned for completing duels, packs cost 150 most duels reward about 60 KB) but because of the characters too, now i will say having never watched the yugioh anime basically only interacting prior with legacy formats it was a solid introduction if surface level introduction to the characters additionally they all use decks suited to them with differing playstyles, like Kaiba oh cool i get to see Kaiba, its a whole lot less cool though when you see Kaiba for the 30th time using the exact same deck same dialogue and the best part is he hasnt even offered you a trade yet, some characters i battled upwards of 50 times, 50, just stale, i felt like even though i could imagine decks i could build after spending 1500 KB on packs and getting nothing but duplicates seeing the same characters id already faced a dozen times, i decided to call it quits, i may return but ultimately the bets part of the game is still the graphics, wouldn't recommend outside of watching the card animations on youtube, i still enjoyed my time with the game and had fun however.

100%ed the sexy brutale

So i saw this game mentioned and had to try it out based purely on 2 combos, time travel, murder mystery, 2 of my favourite genres combined, along with some puzzles, while they're not the best, quite linear and on rails for my full liking, they where entertaining enough as to be a nice gameplay aid, they where fun and intuitive, not having to look up any solution with the sole exception of one of the invitations, as un initiative, it is the only puzzle;e in the game that requires you use an item previously used, something i didn't consider as i thought if the game set that president then it wouldn't break it, so i found that particularity sour as it was the last thing i needed to 100% the game

As mentioned i found it too on rails, i wish there was some more freedom in the game as it felt at times the game was trying to have its cake, this fun mystery you have to figure out by exploring a mansion, and eating it too, having a set order things have to be done in, in a free roam setting i would've much rather had some level of freedom, unfortunately this game doesn't provide that, having only very linear thinking and pathing, at one point i got stuck on a puzzle as i tried to employ a creative solution, see the game does this thing where, if an item can be picked up, it can be used, during one of these, you can pick up a record, but the record is never used, so i was stuck trying many things with the record, when it in fact did nothing, i feel like the game is very mixed in design with this aspect, punishing thinking genuinely outside the box and not the so called box the game wants you in, i dunno, im not too big a fan of puzzle games, i often get stuck, but id at least like it a little more... feeling like im actually solving something rather then finding a block to go into the block shaped hole in the way of the door, the power-up masks are also do nothing devices, they're never used, okay they are used but what i mean is they're never *used* see the way the game works is the masks give you special abilities to do things you where unable to do before, but instead of letting you play around with these abilities at all in any way it just means sometimes a prompt will appear to use it like the worst quick time event of the xbox 360 era

What the game lacks in the inquisitiveness of a 10 year old it absolutely makes up for in style, its minor but another thing is the controls are... how do i put it, finicky, your character will stare at a door as you press the "open door button" and just stand there even though the "open door" button is there, oh what you have to do is actually press it then wait 5 seconds oh and you cant be too close to the door or it doesn't work at all, but its hard to consecrate on being frustrated at that when the game blows you away with its style its flavour its absolute understanding of gothic Victorian style, its just oozing with fancy and im lovin every moment of it, soundtrack included, fantastic visuals, id like to say i wish it was a movie, i do think it being a video game elevates it in many aspects, yeah id still rather it just be a movie as the video game aspect more so feels like a telle tale game cross bread with the sims and had a early unexpected birth because there was no "give birth" button

all in all i had a swell time playing the sexy brutale but its the type of game i wouldn't return to, at least to play again, maybe just to read the extensive descriptions it has, that's another point in its favour, though you can get that off a wiki or something, but it is in the games favour at least, on the story i don't want to spoil anything but i would say it was, above average, not something id haplessly obsess over such as zero escape but not something ill forget nore regret experiencing, overall i really do feel the style of the game caries it though, so take that for what you will, overall i would recommend it if you enjoy the look of the game and dont mind being treated like a toddler reviving his new plah-doh set and there being a "put the green play-doh in the green pot" button, and as long as the "time travel murder mystery" premise also appeals to you

Overall though i cant help but feel like it had wasted potential, yet i had fun so it wasn't fully wasted more just, milk that was left out overnight with some stale cheerios served in the most beautiful bowl you've ever seen and instead of you using a spoon yourself there's a button in front of you that very awkwardly moves the spoon towards your mouth, wow what a round about way to say the game spoon feeds you!

anyhow back to balatro 100%ing, i dread finishing that and having to write a big essay on why the black deck sucks and how good the game is

January 10th - Hostel part 2

First time watching, i honestly feel like i wasted my time watching this, it was a retreading of the first but really without doing anything new, having seen the first it didn't have the tension of it, it shifted halfway through and i thought oh wow that's a cool direction but then oh oops the movies over and it wasn't halfway over it was the end of the film and oh well its over and it left me feeling utterly wanked off, like what was that, ugh, horrible film, just the first film but much worse

January 9th - Hostel

Wathed for the first time, i enjoyed it, wouldnt say it was amazing or anything but i enjoyed watching it, slow to start but i feel that aids in the build up to the eventual pay off though it doesnt really surprise you so i either wish they didnt begin with the hard open or perhaps sprinkled it in

January 8th - Airplane

Watched for the first time, very hard belly laughs, loved the joke with the reporters taking photos especially, it was very subversive in its jokes, i know most comedy relies on subverting expectations but what i mean is there was alot of it in this film, not a bad thing just something notable, though there was some variety in the types of jokes, some slapstick especially
