Nice to finally see Cashu support in the latest Bitchat update. All the newest features have been stuff I wanted for a while: Improving private conversations, wearOS support and a different UI style that I can choose from.

The minimal phone 2 looks good! Probably won't back the Kickstarter and just wait to buy it straight from them. Spec wise it's everything I want for just a phone, especially in the age of decoupling.

Spider-Man Brand New Day was fantastic! It's probably up there in my top 3 Spider-Man movies. I do hope after this they integrate a new love interest for Peter. They don't need to keep dangling the MJ thread like it's the comic books. Punisher and the Hulk were pretty good additions to the movie. I thought maybe the Hulk would be too much however seeing how it all integrates into Peter's journey was *Chef's Kiss* Pretty bummed they didn't go full Man-Spider #Filmstr

The Void Hunter came home #ZZZ2ndANNI #ZZZero #Gamestr

On Seven Havens, I could see Pavi (?) having Vaatu as a way to keep the audience in the dark about whatever Korra did. The big midseason twist will be that her twin actually has Raava and knows what Korra did. This would allow for a Dark Avatar and better representation of Order vs. Chaos as just that, and not generic Good vs. Evil.

I do feel like with every new thing Avatar Studio releases that I'm growing out of the IP. It's going to be hard to recapture that lightning in the bottle that created The Legend of Aang and I don't think getting fans to helm projects is going to smart decision in the long run. While gorgeously animated I didn't really love the Aang movie. It has the problems most midquels when you can get appreciate the character growth at the end because you already know it gets undone in the next installment. Seven Havens doesn't really look all that interesting plus having the next Avatar be a twin feels like they want to have Vaatu again without waiting for the Convergence in universe. I am grateful for the Korra slander in the trailer though. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠) Don't really have to mention the live action show. One exception is the Fighting game. It looks cool but feels like it came way too late. Maybe somethings shouldn't go on to become a franchise.

I feel like a lot of people vibewatched Obsession.

Decide to start reading Mushoku Tensei. Finished volume 1 I could see why it's popular. I was shocked how quick I was able to finish it. Normally I have a tough time reading the first book of a novel series but it that problem didn't prop up at all. View quoted note →

I didn't realize that Jast USA had uploaded a trailer with dub voices. Everyone sounds pretty good. Obviously, there are some outliers, like the kids' voices. Whether you like Setsuna's voice or not depends on how much you enjoy kuudere voices in English. To me, it sounds fitting. However, I can see how the monotone cadence could make it sound like she's bored. #animestr #gamestr View quoted note →

I'm shocked School Days is getting an English dub! I would have never expected it and surprised they got vtubers in the cast too. Definitely have to check out the game even if it gets a bad translation I still have the original release so I have nothing to lose. #Animestr

MY-TH looks pretty good. I like the suit and I'm surprised the chest belt is returning. I assumed that gimmick was just going to be for ZEZTZ. Not really sure about the cat and mouse theme but I'll wait to a story trailer to see if I'm going to check it out. #Tokustr

Lightning + Fireworks = 10/10 most beautiful sights I've seen ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ

Happy America Day and Happy 250th! Proud to be born here and glad I get to see it celebrate a huge milestone! Couldn't imagine being born anywhere else. Hope she continues to be around well pass 300 and beyond! (And hopefully extend into the stars (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠) )Perfect day to America-max 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅

It's getting harder to not be pro video game crash these days.

Obsession was really good. It felt like a good way to tell a monkey's paw story in the modern era

This is the team I would main in Tokon. Mostly sci-fi characters until another supernatural (or Inhuman) character gets added. View quoted note →

I'm shocked they picked Loki over a Sorceress Supreme. The base roster for Tōkon is shaping up to be a great one! #Gamestr

It was a smart idea to have Citizen Vigilante stream on X. I don't think it would have gotten the audience that it wanted if it hadn't. Building off of the controversy was smart. This is a movie I would describe as "Lifetime for Men." It was too much tell and not enough show combined with some flat cinematography. Those would be areas to improve for the sequel. Overall it's not as inoffensive as you would think it is. This is a kind of film you would have light beer with.

All the Star Fox clips are giving me an itch to write a sci-fi dogfighting story.

Definitely want to read more this summer so I'm probably going to pick up a light novel series to read.
