Midnight Suns [game]

 Midnight Suns [game]

THIS GAME CAME OUT AND FLOPPED. THEN A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WERE LIKE "WAIT, THE X-COM TEAM MADE THIS, IT'S GOOD ACTUALLY" SO I BOUGHT IT REAL CHEAP AND.... IT'S GOOD ACTUALLY. IT'S NOT THE BEST GAME EVER MADE OR ANYTHING, BUT AS A GAME IT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE.  LIKE, IT'S FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE HOW THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS ACTUALLY ARE MECHANICALLY DIFFERENT, THEN ONCE YOU UNLOCK MODS YOU END UP WITH A VERSION OF EACH CHARACTER THAT IS TOTALLY MECHANICALLY UNIQUE. STORY WISE A LOT OF THE WRITING ISN'T GREAT ("YOUR MOTHER") . BUT THERE IS SO MUCH OF IT SOME OF IT IS OKAY. THE DLC STORY IS SO DUMB IT'S GOOD AS A DUMB PLOT AND THE MAIN PLOT IS BAD BUT HAS SOME UNEXPECTED TWISTS. I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD PLAY THIS, BUT I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO SOLIDLY GET ACROSS "NO, IT'S BETTER THAN YOU THINK IT WOULD BE".

PS. IT'S TIME TO MORB

Encanto [movie]

 Encanto [movie] I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE THAT WAS WAY TOO UNFOCUSED TO BE A GREAT MOVIE. LIKE THE WHOLE OPENING SONG WAS A JOKE THAT THEY WERE INTRODUCING TOO MANY CHARACTERS THEN IT FELT LIKE ALL THE ISSUES EVERYONE WAS HAVING WAS SUPER LIGHT BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY CHARACTERS. LIKE THE WHOLE "I HATE MY SISTER/OH I'M SO MAD I MAD A CACTUS/ACTUALLY I'M HAPPY NOW" ARC IS LIKE A MINUTE OF SCREEN TIME FOR NO REASON.  PS. I FEEL LIKE REWRITING IT SO ANIMAL KID WAS HIDING UNDER THE BED MORE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE GRANDMA WOULD HATE HIM IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD POWER WOULD HAVE MADE THE CONFLICT SEEM LESS PULLED OUT OF NO WHERE. LIKE A GRANDMA HAVING TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS REASONABLE BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.

Magicats! [book]

 Magicats! [book] Space-Time for Springers : This is just "my cat is sad" but wacky. A kitten convinced it will grow up to be human.  The Game of Rat and Dragon : This is some real extreme nonsense 1970s sci-fi. Things from the dark eat you if you travel through warp space, but human brains are too slow to react to the millisecond attacks, so they have to make psychic entanglement with strong hunter cats. There is vague romantic undertones to this.  The Cat from Hell: Oh, it's that stephen king story.  It's that thing from the tales from the darkside movie. The one king doesn't know how cats or mouths work.  Out Of Place: I don't remember anything about this story and have just reskimmed it right now and still can't tell you anything about it.  Schrödinger's Cat: I absolutely love Ursula K Leguin, but oof, this book just didn't work. It has a strong feeling of a metaphor based on some not quite right 1970s pop understanding of physics. Maybe it'
