Spring & Summer 2021

 PS5

I finally got a PS5 thanks to my mom. I'm so happy! I got it in time for the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. The fast loading time is so good. (I didn't even know Resident Evil Village had a loading screen until I seen someone on PC playing it.)


Cyberpunk 2077 and Mass Effect


Right after getting the PS5, I started recording my favorite playthrough of Cyberpunk then my favorite playthrough of Mass Effect. The fast loading times really comes in handy with recording. I had to do it a lot when a glitch happened or I picked the wrong dialogue option.


Vinyl records



We got a record player because my favorite podcast said they might make a vinyl of all their best bits. And I was always kinda interested in getting one so why not now? After ordering it I started looking for video game and anime vinyls. A lot of them are sold out...I wish I got a record player sooner. 


Ozark


I started watching this show after seeing that my favorite Youtubers did reaction videos to it. 
I hate Wendy though. I really can't stand her face when she smiles. Since the first episode, she has proven to just be so selfish. Can't wait for the next season though! 


The Handmaid's Tale season 4


I think this was my favorite season so far. I love her character development so much. It's what I wish a lot of other main characters would turn into in other series. I'm just sick of the "I'm going to be the bigger person" characters. Her choosing to hit back is so satisfying. In real life, it's unhealthy but as a show, I really love it! Shows don't always have to be about promoting positive messages. Sometimes it can just be about telling a fucked up story for entertainment. Can't wait for the next season.


Overland

This game is so fun and addictive! Very easy to want to replay. I do wish you could make your own character and name and I wish when you do a solo run the dialogue had the character talk to themselves. But other than that, this game is great! 

 
Lets Get Haunted podcast


I found them because of Steve Zaragoza but I bookmarked them for months until I just got into the mood for creepy stories. I'm so happy I found them, they are so funny! I marathoned their podcast in a week. Yes, the stories are interesting but their humor is why I became a fan.


Never Have I Ever season 2


I love this show. The main character and her mom are the best characters. (I hate the new girl for getting so upset with the main character that she didn't even talk to her before going to get her in trouble. The popular girls actually spread the rumor while the main character just yelled something out in anger and left. The two girls should get the blame even if the main character planted the seed unintentional. Fuck that logic.)


New phone

My mom sent me one of her old phones and it runs so much better than the one I was stuck with. And has more room so now I can download TikTok. (Someday I'll get an actual new phone.) 


ClickBait on Netflix


I really liked this show until the ending. The last twist was unnecessary but it still was a fun watch. 


Bad stuff

Coffee Talk - wasn't a fan of the dialogue, too cringe AND boring for me. But the music is very peaceful and it made me finish the game. I liked the world but it's too bad the characters were really boring or annoying. I wanted to like it because I like the style and setting of the game. Oh well.

Haven - Basically the same reasons I hate Coffee Talk for. I am interested in a second game but I will not buy it at full price. 

Lucifer - Just end it already. Or just stick to being a comedic, love story now. I don't care about any other story plot other than the main character being happy with his true love. 

Attack on Titan manga - I hate the ending.

RE8 - the only thing fun is the gameplay. AND it's so much better listening to their annoying dialogue after putting the voices in Japanese. 

Days Gone - the gameplay got old. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood, I don't know. I think the story, characters and dialogue are cringe. I didn't even finish it. Too many unnecessary cutscenes. 

Mr. Robot - I really loved the first season. But after that it felt like a slow burn. I liked a lot of moments after of course but over all, I was bored. I didn't care about the side characters. I just wanted to see the main guy progress but he hardly did... then those last few episodes were torture. Too many speeches that made my eyes roll. I'm glad I checked this show out but I'll never watch it again nor will I recommend it to anyone. 

Colony - I loved it better when the main couple were on good terms. I was hoping for the husband to admit that his wife was brave and strong for what she did but he just keeps throwing it in her face for lying to him. Get over it. He would've lied too in her place. There's no right answer. She was thinking if she were ever caught, she would hope that keeping her family in the dark would save them the punishment she would get. 
She was my favorite character. Whatever.

Winter 2020-2021

 The Lie


The ending feeling like a slap to the face is so perfect. I love it because it's exactly how the main characters feel. Exactly. I recommend it.


Gone Girl


After years of hearing people mention this movie and comparing it to other stories in a way I wasn't sure if it meant it was a good movie or a bad movie...I finally watched it! I loved it. I had no idea what it was about other than it being a mystery and a hint that there was a twist. 


Deadpool


I watched both movies back to back and really enjoyed them. I didn't really care about any other characters but the main one. I did like Lady Luck. Her power sounds dumb but turned out to be really cool and very powerful. The violence in these movies are very entertaining.
It's been awhile since I enjoyed my time watching a movie with my brain turned off.


Attack on Titan season 4


It's fun to see the manga being animated but I'll be honest, some of the 3D looks disappointing. I wish the actions and movements were animated all the same style like the first season. 
But I'm still having fun watching this with my best friend every week. 


Rewatching shows


I fucking loved rewatching The Leftovers with my husband. I was so happy to share that show with him. I'm sad it's over. But I watched Lovecraft Country and it's fun to watch but man...I really love The Leftovers so much. I want to watch it again with someone who hasn't seen it. 

I rewatched Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Witcher and The Walking Dead by watching along with people I found on Youtube. One channel is a married couple and I LOVE their reactions because they actually have a good moral compass compared to other fans who are Team Walt or Team Jesse.
I like how these people are open minded to understand characters they hate as well.
 
And the other channel is of these two friends who are both mothers and they are so funny and also have a good moral compass. I recommend checking both of these channel's out:


The Surge 2


 I love it more than the first one. I hope I'll love the third one more than this one.


The Long Dark


A very relaxing yet challenging game. It's very easy to get into. One of those games I can play while listening to music or a podcast.


The Outer Worlds DLCs



I LOVE the humor in this game. I wish Cyberpunk 2077 has more of a comedic tone like this game. It's so fun to play, that even the bad guys are likeable. These additions to the main story are so good. I hope there's another DLC on the way or that the second game comes soon. 

The only thing this game is missing is letting players have a romantic interest. I love when RPGs let players fall in love with a character. 


Your Honor


I'm so happy this series exists. I love how it scratches the Breaking Bad itch while being a completely different show. The tone is so like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. It's fun seeing him play as a man in power vs a poor man in Breaking Bad. 

I loved how the season ended as well. Makes me wonder how dark his character becomes. Can't wait! 


Keanu Reeves


Haven't had a celebrity crush since I was a teen but after Cyberpunk 2077, I started to get interested in Keanu because of Johnny Silverhand. I've been watching his movies and thanks to John Wick, I'm now fully obsessed with this man. Been looking up interviews and stuff on Youtube. Learning just how humble Keanu is compared to other famous people, how can I not develop a crush on him?
I hope he stays pure and nice. 

(I think he's great in comedies, he should be in way more funny movies.)


Cyberpunk 2077


The fanfics of Valerie and Johnny is a dream come true. 

I made a podcast episode talking about most of my thoughts on this game so I wont repeat it here. Basically, I really enjoyed this game. Played it three times. 
Check out my podcast: Superior Code


Bad:

Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 - This game shouldn't of come out yet. It wasn't ready. Lots of people couldn't focused on the story because of how glitchy it was. Shame. 

The Affair - I loved seeing two different perspectives but hated when it changed to seeing other character's perspectives. I think it would've been better if the show only focused on two main characters. Instead of four.... And the show is longer than it should be. Waste of time.

Search Party season 4 - I don't like what they've done to the main character. It would've been fun seeing her become more twisted and evil. But they basically made it so she ends up in a prison anyways. It wasn't good.... At least her friends were funny. I kept watching for them.
