Aaaaah sorry to hear that man, its honestly so rough that covid was bad enough as it is but what makes it worse is being surrounded by people who have lost it like you said. Sorry it had such a bad effect on your plans :( you said the next 2 months are looking up? Is it because of vaccinations and what not?

Dude yeah definitely!! I'm actually wanting to do commissions soon I'm just kinda shy about it hahaha, also I'm so slow that I'm trying to get much faster so I could at least take like... more then 2 at a time LOL

For manga I got into Chainsaw Man which has been the most fun I've had with a weekly jump series in quite awhile honestly! It also ignites a flame for my motivation because the artwork is incredible!!

Oh so for the most part you've basically been on a hiatus for awhile then? Completely understandable.. and it really feels like... it feels like last year didn't even happen its such a jarring feeling. It feels like 2019 was the last year where like... stuff happened and since I had big plans. Regarding what you said about all of the delays too especially. I've been highly anticipating E3 because I REALLY am hoping to see a lot of those games you mentioned to be finally shown off a little. People have been waiting on Silksong for SOOOO long I'm 1000% it was gonna release last year if not for the pandemic. My personal hope is to see an announcedment for a Fire Emblem 4 Remake (I kinda became hopelessly addicted to this franchise last year lmao). I want to see SOMETHING for Elden Ring too literally just like anything at this point

OHHH I played Hades this January!!! What a GODTIER game, I actually can't believe that game exists its quite literally bursting with style and personality. I couldn't word it better myself, its proof at the gaming mediums full potential and Hades is the reason video games have become my favorite medium over the recent years.

Oh I have a friend that really loves Streets of Rage 4 I'm glad you enjoyed it too! Actually this is perfect timing can you tell me your thoughts on RE3 Remake? How did it mess up so badly, what did it miss that made RE2Remake so successful?

I feel it dude last year still feels so unreal, sorry that things were so especially rough for you the last half a year, is it mostly pandemic related stuff that screwed up everything on your end?

Last year honestly sucked a lot for me since a lot of big goals I had.. kinda just fell apart, I actually kind of made this huge pivot in my long term plans because of last year specifically. And this year I actually started studying how to draw again which has been fun! It was my main hobby like 9 years ago and I had put it down for so long. So that's kind of the brightside on my end is being able to focus on that again! Other than that I started reading more manga again lately after a long hiatus from that too.

How about you what have you been interested in lately?

Yo its been awhile how've you been!

You’re welcome!

Happy birthday!

Ah, I see, I'm hoping they do a good job with DeS then, though that does leave me a little more trepidatious.


Honestly it was mostly more underwhelming for me than anything-I didn't know anyone in particular was saying it was "great" lol. DeS was the only one that i'm really interested in, besides that Kena did look good yeah, maybe Ratchet and Clank, I did quite enjoy the earlier games in the series when I was younger. And who can forget the awe inspiring next-generational boundary pusher, Goodbye Volcano High? But jokes asides Project Athia and HZD2 also looked nice. I didn't watch all the trailers though. I was thinking a GOW 2018 sequel trailer would be nice, but it's probably far too soon for that.

Mostly i'm a little miffed about their reveal of moving to splitting digital and physical console (with the unstated but rather apparent connotation that the physical version will be more expensive), which is a little annoying. All the more so since Sony doesn't even have PSN in my country lol, so as far as digital gaming goes I prefer steam and a PC which are much more convenient alternatives for me. I wouldn't want to support a shift that kills physical sales for good either so if it's too absurd a price (some retailers quoted 750$, though it's probable to be a stand-in) I might not get it all. Although granted, that is fairly unlikely, I heard it's more likely to be in the 400-600 range.

Have you seen the new DS remaster trailer, btw? Looking great

Yeah, no probs.

Honestly I don't pay much attention to the academy awards or film awards in general, when I do I tend to prefer Cannes over the Academy. But it's kind of absurd he wasn't even nominated lol. Patterson was excellent as well yep. And I agree, the visual direction and cinematography is perfect.

That's true, it manages to be Lovecraftian in atmosphere/tone, and kinda of thematically (the horror of the unknown and knowing too much destroying people and whatnot) too, it's probably the only good "Lovecraft movie" I've seen, without actually really being one lol.

Thanks, I'll be sure to watch that too when I'm feeling up to it.


And yeah it's kinda out there. Yep same, though granted things have eased up a little given the circumstances of late for me at least.

How do you feel about RE4 getting a remake? Do you feel it could live up to the original or does it have you kinda worried? I saw a LOT of people on twitter saying they wished it was never remade but I wasn't sure if that's just because RE3 remake disappointed people.

Also no problem man I had a lot going on as well, so sorry for my late reply. This whole lockdown situation.. and now the current situation.. Wow 2020 isn't even half way over haha..
Right now I've been working on finishing FF7R. I'm liking it a lot but I'm not excited to see this ending that I've heard most people didn't like. I honestly am much MUCH more interesting in continuing my Umineko playthrough but I'm trying to get this game done. I really do like it but I've heard Nomura does stuff with it that I'm worried will kill my opinion about the game.
What have you been up to?

Ah I see. And that's good to hear, hope they can manage then.

I've heard as much as well, actually though I haven't read WOT myself as of yet, though I certainly intend to get around to it some time. Tolkiens Legendarium certainly lives up to that reputation though, as does what I've read of Malazan thus far.

Yeah I think one character/trait in particular was strongly influenced by some of Steppenwolf. Cyrano is a prevailing influence throughout, probably second only to Wittgensteins general philosophy (not exclusively TLP). But yeah, Wittgenstein does prove the old adage that the most difficulty philosophical writings all come from Germany haha. Despite it's length, it's harder to get through than one might think, though definitely has thought provoking and unique ideas throughout, I should follow up and read Investigations sometime too. Yeah there's some odd cases of that, sometimes in the other direction, like in the case of Farenheit 451, which can be pretty funny. Ah, Winters Night is really excellent, I love it a lot, probably one of the most "perfect" 10s I have. I actually haven't read I have no mouths book, although I did read the comic adaptation of it, which I thought captured the horror aspect of it very well.

Yeah even one of the developers pointed out that it was pretty silly of them to do that lol.
Oh yeah, I agree, some movies (well, not just movies, works of fiction/art in general) lack subtlety and come off a lot more preachy and as you say jarring than they intend I suppose. Parasite is one of those that manages to make the commentary very effectively without ever being any of those things.

And oh, I'm surprised to hear that, I thought it managed to be both those things it was doing pretty well, and was really entertaining to boot.

I did see The Lighthouse, yep, and I did indeed end up loving it, was glued to the screen for most of it's run. Not sure I can sum up my thoughts succinctly though haha. I can say certainly the most David Lynch-ian movie I've seen in a while, though definitely very original in and of itself. And of course, Dafoe and Patterson were both great on screen in their acting throughout. I wasn't too sure of the black and white thing going in, since in some cases I feel it has come off as pretentious, but in this case, it contributed really well to the tone and atmosphere of the movie, which was in this really foreboding, fever-dreamish state throughout, not really sure how to put it but that's what I got haha.

Obviously the lovecraftian influences are apparent, you could almost think you're watching an adaptation of one of his short stories or something like that, the tense horror aspect of the atmosphere is ever present in a similar fashion, and some of the stuff with the light seemed to echo lovecraftian horror style as well. I found the greek mythos connection a little more interesting though, especially since it's more referenced explicitly in the script itself, with the whole prometheus and maybe-mount-olympus metaphors. It also did have a little bit of surprisingly funny segments (specifically the "alright have it your way i like your cooking bit haha). Of course, the existentialist, psychoanalytical themes explored as well were also very intriguing in their execution.

I'm still not certain how to fully interpret some of it though, so it might beggar a rewatch lol, I heard some theories that Wake and Howard are both one "Thomas" gone crazy from all the questionable quality moonshine and battling his inner turmoil based on some details I didn't pick up on at all myself, for instance, not sure how much I think that's true but it's an interesting thought.

But regardless, it was definitely an excellent watch and I'm glad you recommended it.

Ah I've actually been meaning to read the novel of Little Woman some time soon, good to hear the movie was was good though, that probably reflects in the source material as well, I might watch it after reading.

And ah I see lol.

And not much really, mostly I've been busy with university coursework and the like to make up for the quarantine haha.
And no worries, my apologies for the same as well, I know how it goes with being busy.

No problem at all bro and don't worry about it.

I have been doing good! Yep, it's fine in my area. What about you? How have you been?

Heyo man, since I don't open the site but rather my profile itself, I wasn't notified of your birthday. Belated Happy Birthday to you and I hope this year is a good one for you! ^^

Oh it was your birthday 4 days ago? Sorry I'm late belated happy birthday man!

Happy birthday bro ❤️❤️❤️

I get what you're saying though the author conveyed some of the expressions better and it made that ending moment with Askeladd hit harder. The directing in the anime carried that moment a lot for me forsure so Istill thought it was good for what it was. I have like 6 different manga I need to read at this point hahaha, Vinland and Vagabond are at the top of my priority 100%!! Wait so do you feel Vinland's best arcs in the series are the first two arcs then? And then its always downhill from there? Or does it pick up again and surpass the first two eventually?


Glad to see RE4 is still at the top, that's probably gonna be the most anticipated remake after RE3. I really haven't beaten RE4, and I remember liking it a lot and a lot of people saying its their best RE4. What makes it your favorite? I probably won't get to a replay for awhile because I'm putting my time mostly into Umineko right now
