Another batch of total bangers from Avatar: Seven Havens this week.

Survivor kinda great this season.

Mass Effect forever. ❤️

I’m really liking Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. Action feels great, the map is fun to explore and while it’s clearly pulling visual/sound influence from Hades, it doesn’t feel derivative.

Finally finished Big Walk. What a beautiful, profound video game. I will cherish it forever. 🥹

Avatar lore is just SO good Seven Havens, man

After 30 years, I finally saw Gorillaz last night and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to

Big Walk is GOTY.

absolutely amazing first besties live show! very happy I was able to make it. in for a full tour + if you need a Texas opener @plante.bsky.social 😉

NYCC this week! Lots of fun interviews planned 😉

You and I Are Polar Opposites will probably go down as one of my favorite rom com anime ever. I wrote about its final episode and its running theme of goofy small talk being just as important as big, dramatic moments: www.crunchyroll.com/news/feature...
