Chronicles
I though it might be a fun idea to start recording what media I've
been consuming.
Have a look at what
games I'm playing or what music I am listening to.
Or just be disappointed at how much Taylor Swift I actually listen to...
Music
- Kenzie Cait - good luck, goodbye (over nostalgic edition)
- Caroline Kingsbury - Heaven's Just A Flight First heard from Dispatch
- Lily Allen - West End Girl Now this is a masterpiece. I strongly believe that she is an overlooked artist. When she picks up a pen, she really knows how to write.
- Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl This album was better than her previous but it was kinda a flop. The lyrics were weak and but atleast the music had more viaraity. My recommendations are Canceled, Opalite, and Honey
- HUNTR/X Also love all the other songs, check them out!
Books
- Currentby Aeron Dusk
- by Aeron Dusk ⭐10/10 Unlike MoA, there was quite a lot of post major conflict story (my favourite part of a story) which was my main criticism. The Varcross Key has really good pace with a great balance of relationship, drama and comedy. I was glued to the book, so drawn in that I was reading it midway though the day instead of only before bed. You are mostly in the PoV of the main protagonist but I would have liked more PoVs of other characters like Derrick, Toby and Vince. I though the ending was really well put together and is the best one hes written so far: great delivery and leaves room for a sequel (but not a cliff hanger). Can't wait to see what Aeron brews next!
- by Lech Blaine ⭐7/10
- by Aeron Dusk Great story so far! Will update when series has finished.
- by Aeron Dusk ⭐9/10 I loved it! It's a good story novel with a good balance of romance, drama and comedy. Got really hooked on it and finished it within 2 weeks, can't remember the last time I read a book so fast. I wish there was more length after the main storyline, there was a large time skip but I think the author is looking to expand more around Amulii with a web novel. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a short read and wanted to read some great werewolf drama.
Games
-
Blizzard Entertainment ⭐8/10 The gangs back together! Season 1: Conquest has been surprisingly good. The new heroes are fun and exciting, with a hero per season to follow. Hope they keep the quality and content going otherwise i'll drop it again. - Lizard Smoothie ⭐8/10 Haven't gotten to the harder difficulties yet, but the game is really fun. A multiplayer Hades with ARPG elements. The gem and skill system is fantastic (reminds me of Diablo 3 runes but executed well). It's a bit unbalanced but fun regardless!
- AdHoc Studio ⭐9/10 I haven't laughed that much in a while. Dialogue is great and the voice acting crew is stacked. My only critism is that it is a short game, got an 8 hour playthoguh and would have loved more of the gameplay. Quick time actions kinda ruined the scenes for me. 100% recommend.
- Kenny Sun and Friends ⭐8/10 Quite a unique concept for survivor game, love pong gameplay. It does get really grindy. Gameplay needs some tuning as some survivors and ball combos kinda suck. The developer already commited to DLC!
- Areananet ⭐8/10 The new elite specs feel fun and unique. Enjoying it so far but the expantion just dropped. Seeing many returning friends is exciting though!
Media
- CurrentDoozer Productions Good so far! We don't count season 9 :nerviousdog:
- Sony Pictures Animation ⭐5/10 I am catching up on post-endgame movies.I kind of get what they were going for, but I just did not care for it. The story is bland, got that everything-works-out-in-the-end vibe and it just did not excite me. I'm giving it stars for the Marvel quality but other than that, not much to like.
- Sony Pictures Animation ⭐9/10 Also love all the other songs, check them out!
- Marvel Studios Animation ⭐8/10 Was a great watch something to put in the background or focus on. There was a variation of enjoyments: some were enjoyable, fun and engaging while others were so weird (idk what the duck has to do with anything).
- DreamWorks Animation ⭐9/10 Great work from the DreamWorks team, I watched this as soon as it popped up on netflix. This was on my list of one of the films I wanted to watch. I recommend this
Developing
- Currentheyitsxen.devPerson website & blog Astro, TailwindCSS Thats this website! Still a heavy work in progress. I'm really starting to like Astro as an alternative to static HTML builders.
