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
- Caroline Kingsbury - Heaven's Just A FlightFirst heard from Dispatch
- Lily Allen - West End GirlNow 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 ShowgirlThis 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/XAlso love all the other songs, check them out!
Books
- by Aeron Dusk⭐10/10Unlike 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 Aeron DuskGreat story so far! Will update when series has finished.
- by Aeron Dusk⭐9/10I 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.
- by Aeron Dusk⭐9/10I really liked this story. It had everything I needed to stay hooked: funny, entertaining, engaging (and a good level of smut). My favourite parts were the interactions between different characters and their POVs. The pacing was really good until the end, it seemed like everything was all mushed together. I ended up reading it all in like 3-4 days, looking forward to reading the other books/stories.
Games
AdHoc Studio⭐9/10I 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⭐8/10Quite 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⭐8/10The new elite specs feel fun and unique. Enjoying it so far but the expantion just dropped.
Seeing many returning friends is exciting though!
- vedinadHonestly haven't played it that much, got back into Guild Wars 2
- Secret DoorDidn't get to play alot but it was really fun! Need to find time for it again.
Media
- KPop Demon Hunters⭐9/10Also love all the other songs, check them out!
- Marvel Studios Animation⭐8/10Was 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⭐9/10Great 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
- Warp Films⭐7/10
- Marvel Studios⭐9/10
Developing
- Currentheyitsxen.devPerson website & blogAstro, TailwindCSSThats this website! Still a heavy work in progress. I'm really starting to like Astro as an alternative to static HTML builders.
