What's up gamers?

I study anthropology and made this site to organize my online activities and media consumption more healthily.

Some of my favourite movies:
• The Lord of the Rings (it's only 1, I promise)
• Stalker
• Mandy
• Manchester By the Sea
• The Holdovers
• Ikiru

Games I Played for the First Time This Year:

• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Ooh boy good game
• Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk I helped a girl buy milk
• Ladykiller In a Bind: I impulse bought this after Dan Olson mentioned it in some video (I'll link it later when I remember which one) and thought that it looked interesting; I connected to this game immediately and strongly. The central conceit that you're a girl pretending to be her identical twin brother rang true with me not only as an experience I go through any time I come across someone unaware of my transition or even my name change, but whenever your character has to try and explain the often immoral acts of the brother. I tell myself that my transition has only made me kinder and more understanding but the ease of mistakes or misinterpretations made me genuinely sorry for the people who I - and the brother - have hurt. Simultaneously, the plot around the staged abduction and the whole point accumulation game was of little interest to me. I gave up on winning the game as soon as I became attached to the nerd characters and couldn't bear to betray their trust. Perhaps in a replay I could eschew my own morals if only to explore the game more fully but for now I don't have the heart. I loved how in many ways the game is simply a rework of Metal Gear with a social stealth aspect replacing the action stealth of that series. In my playthough my character was more or less Solid Snake while the Hacker clearly parallels Otacon especially with her having been the romantic interest in my playthough. Maybe the rest of the characters don't map so neatly across games but at the very least the father still represents Naked Snake and in doing so satisfies my bar for being allegorical. Aside from the high concept story, the plot itself is most notable for the sex scenes. Going along with the premise that all power exchange must be negotiated, I found the game a great way to relate more to my boyfriend who's taken the mantle of the reluctant dom during our time together. Being with the Hacker was far outside my comfort zone with my genuine temperament being similar to her own and it led me to be a lot less demanding with my boyfriend. The art both in general and in the sex scenes was less impressive than simply sweet and the only time I felt myself stirring was the one night where I stayed with the Beauty, no big surprise. I won't pretend for even a moment that porn isn't the main selling point of the game but it was everything else that made me love the game. All in all I would affectionatelly call Ladykiller In a Bind a respectable porn game.
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain I bought this years ago at the GameCity in my local mall and didn't get around to playing it until this year. It was a bitch to download since for some reason my xbox tried to download it off the disc while trying to update the game over wifi at the same time and it just froze the download until I eventually downloaded it offline over like an entire day. The game itself was a mixed bag to say the least. It's well known how it was unfinished and the always online bullshit was somewhat forced but there was still so many quality moments within the game regardless. Of course the repetition starts to kick in once all the side ops are in places you've already visited but the main story, at least in the beginning and very end, is engaging. I tried to play the game stealthily the entire way through which, my boyfriend assured me, was a folly. Apparently you aren't supposed to take the tactical espionage so seriously while engaging in random bullshit but I must have lost the memo. It goes without saying that Kojima is a horny gremlin bastard for *gestures broadly at Queiet* that entire plotline and I was honestly relieved once I unlocked clothes for her. I love Kaz so much and I think he would make a fantastic malewife and I wished from the bottom of my heart that he would run away with venom snake so they could live a peaceful life even after he had left. There was a fanfiction I read about just that and I sincerely wish that it would have been finished. While the social commentary in MGSV is all over the place, there's the obvious anti-war message along with the theme of self-destructive revenge not just for all the denizens of Mother Base, but for Skull Face and Eli as well. This was actually the second metal gear game I played after Revengeance which I beat late last year and, as similar as the game are in respect to action, I feel like MGSV was only hampered by trying to have the progression system for weapons and the base as opposed to something as simple as just story unlocks. Overall, I think that the compromised tone of the game was only a hamper on it as opposed to a game more fundamentally silly like Revengeance or even just a more grounded game.
