This was originally a description of a post in my FurAffinity, which got so long that I had to make it a journal. I have a fucking website, where I can do whatever I want, so this is the definitive version of that post. Recently, I had a bit of a furry identity crisis. I had been asking friends who fit label and apply it to themselves about it for quite a while; I wanted to confirm if my…
As of the time of writing, I can say I've been to at least two non-furry meetups, and at least five non-furry music shows with my fursuit head. Obviously my experience is not universal, but I have a pretty good idea of what fursuiting at public events is like for me. I can mention all of the inhibitions that go away after donning my fursona's head, the ways it helps me dance and even not get my…
First things first, this is a Makoto Shinkai movie (he's the guy who made Your Name ). Though this one is very different—and in my opinion much better—you can still feel the kind of melodrama his more well-known movies go for: the romance is the most important and focused on element of these movies, you spend a lot of time seeing how they feel and the lengths to which they're willing to go for…
it has its moments and the aesthetics are immaculate but ohhhh my god fucking Jim Carrey ruins it uuuhhhhhhhggggggggggggggggggggg don't watch it unless you like people who are so fucking annoying you wanna kill yourself
I usually see the phrase "slow burn" used for art that is boring at first and takes a while to really impact or hook people. Dennou Coil starts as a pretty alright anime and then gets better... and then it gets even better. I can describe the premise pretty easily: we follow a group of elementary schoolers (about 9-10 years old, if I remember correctly) in a small Japanese town, in a near future…
Actually pretty nice! It takes a little while to really get going. At first you kinda wonder why you're seeing these two stories happen and how they could possibly be connected to each other, but once shit started to happen I couldn't look away. Two stories happen simultaneously: an old actor who wants to retire because he sees the world move on from him and his old movies, and a random fucking…
(Black Widows, Wh*res and Crooks) Fucking hilarious. I was initially a bit skeptical of this show's humour because I mainly knew Malena Pichot (one of the writers, and one of the protagonists) from her old Youtube skech comedy , which I watched religiously as a kid, and I wasn't sure of whether her snappy and witty style of comedy would work as well in a full show with a plot, but less than…
This one's pretty good! It didn't blow me away, but it's a movie that stuck with me. It's a Basque movie, spoken entirely in Euskera (apparently in a dialect that is not used anymore), and while the plot itself is not the most unique thing in the world, it's really well done! It's the early to mid 1800s, Spain has just undergone a civil war, and the titular blacksmith is wanted by the…
Straight up, this is one of the best shows of the year, and one of the best Argentine shows of all time. What I'm saying is obviously premature, given that at the time of writing, there is only one season, which ends on a cliffhanger (MY GOD, what a cliffhanger!!) The show begins with a regular summer night in Buenos Aires, Argentina (it's December because we're in the Southern Hemisphere). In the…
My favorite part of this movie was the earplugs I had to bring to the theatre so the sound was tolerable. MY GOD movie theatres need to turn it down. According to Vicki, the projection was also slightly out of focus, so I guess every movie theatre in Buenos Aires is fucked and dead. BUT beyond the terribleness of movie theatres, this movie was fucking incredible. It's about two twins who open a…
This is an extremely simple Breakout clone. You bounce the ball. You break the blocks. You get as far as you can on three lives. There is no music save for the title screen. The physics of the ball are perfect, the paddle controls exactly like it should. This is FUCKIng Breakout, FUCK YES. For me, who has a job and several university subjects, each with their own inexhaustible stream of…
I can’t remember the first time I saw a fursuit. For me, they’ve been a thing I’ve known of for as long as I’ve been a furry. The appeal seems obvious: your cartoon avatar, that thing that represents an idea of you within the furry subculture, which existed only by means of illustrations, reference images, maybe even a 3D model, becomes tangible, tactile, and inhabitable. You can bring that…
So my internet service cuts out all the time. I've called my ISP thousands of times, and they make it a pain in the urethra every time. They don't have a phone line for tech support only, so I have to call, confirm I'm calling about my own plan, select 2 for home wifi, hear that my bills are paid, hear when I'll have to pay the next one, dial 3 for tech support, dial 3 again for home wifi, and…
It’s not the best Rudy Ray Moore movie, I think that’s still The Human Tornado, but it’s absolutely worth watching. This doesn’t follow Dolemite at all, but the titular Petey Wheatstraw, a comedian who made a deal with the devil that he intends to back out from. I’d say it’s about as funny as Dolemite (1975), and a perfect entry into Rudy Ray Moore. It has the rhyming, the awkward fighting, iconic…
What if Paranormal Activity was good? I kid, this is so much more more than that. It’s, in its essence, a fictional documentary about the life and untimely death of Alice, the daughter of a family who struggles to cope with her death and begins experiencing, well… paranormal activity. It’s not a particularly fast-paced movie, but that’s what makes it so chilling. It lets you sit with every…
I recently locked my Twitter account, and removed all links to it from my site and other socials. I still open it from time to time. A few Argentinian accounts I like still post there, as the exodus to BlueSky has not reached that public yet, and there is one singular account I regularly enjoy seeing on my timeline, but other than that it’s pretty much dead to me. I don't post anything to it, and…
oh my god this shit is incredible This movie is even funnier than the first one, both intentionally and unintentionally. The plot itself is less focused, as it has two pretty disconnected plotlines that could have each been their own movie, but that’s alright since it’s not the plot itself that carries this movie. Dolemite is on tour through the United States (though every club shot seems to be…
Way funnier than I expected it to be! Both on purpose and by accident. I looked up stuff about this movie before watching and it taught me that I should never ever trust Reddit opinions on art. They had me worried that this was gonna be old and boring, but it ended up being old and hilarious! It’s not a life-changingly great movie by any means, but it’s no bad time at all. I would’ve loved it for…
jesus christ complete garbage. stopped watching halfway through. every song, save for the first one, drags. every joke lasts too long. it made me doubt whether i ever liked the original mel brooks movie or if i just liked the springtime for hitler bit. mind you, i love musicals. i have a high tolerance for bullshit. this was too much bullshit. they somehow managed to turn an 80 minute alright mel…
Mouthwashing is one of those "you should experience it with as little prior knowledge as possible" type of games, which makes it frustrating to talk about without turning it all into a circlejerk for people who are already fans. So, I'll try not to say too much on this section, as I do have things to say, but I don't want to just make this something for people who've already played it. The section…
Shadow Generations OH MY FUCKING GOD, YES!!!!!!!!!!!! SHADOW IS SO FUCKING COOL, MAN!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I cannot believe this is real. This game does something no Sonic game has done for me since Unleashed. I see this game and I see love, I see life, I see passion! What I expected with this game was a Sonic Generations level pack themed around Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes,…
These movies were both directed by Coralie Fargeat. I watched them pretty much back to back with Vicki and the director definitely has a strong voice. They feel realistic and surreal at the same time. The Substance is the stronger of the two but they're both well worth the watch. Revenge (2017) This movie deals with rape and rape culture. The name leaves the relation that the main character has…
I'm not a big horror person, so that aspect might've been a little lost on me, but I did really appreciate the genuine mastery of their clearly low budget. They used a cheap repurposed William Shatner mask, a few mics and cameras and not much else and made it all work. All the sets are real houses, lived in or abandoned, all the lighting (as far as I can see) is made up entirely of the sun, street…
This isn't really an impression since I've seen it before, but I just watched it again last night and I really liked it again. SPOILERS He couldn't Manwhore Mansplain Manipulate his way out so he resorted to Manslaugher . Great movie, tense as fuck, SUPERB acting. highly recommend.
AUGH nice. The sentence I said while watching it with my partner was “this feels like schlock from a parallel universe where every movie is sick as fuck”. It operates on b-movie logic, so it gets away with sometimes lying to the audience and having pretty awkward dialogue. What elevates this movie from other schlock is that every aspect of it is extremely well executed. The lighting is incredible,…
Pretty fun! I’m glad I watched a few other slasher movies before it so I could understand what was going on and all the references. The meta element was enjoyable, right up until the end, where they drop the allegory for a second to show you their spectacle of CGI death before picking it back up to tell you what the movie is about, the end. Still, that was the last 10% of the movie, the other 90%…
With every new way in which Twitter gets worse, there’s always some joy and anxiety over whether this will be the end of the platform. It dies a little bit every time but it never fully croaks. Everyone ends up getting something that makes them want to leave, something that breaks through the layers of genuine enjoyment, capture, and maybe even addiction; and I might have gotten mine now. I say…

My god, what a delightful experience. Opoona is an obscure little RPG for the Wii. If you need the short version: it’s a game with lots of love and lots of flaws that managed to captivate me so much that I am actually writing a whole ass 1500 word long review of it. There we go, now I’ll say the same thing in too many words: I’ve known of this game for several years, I might’ve even seen it at my…
Ok, it’s not torture , but it often is frustrating. For as long as I’ve thought about what speaking to others entails, I’ve never stopped feeling as if I never fully cracked the code to communicating with others. I can get by just fine, it’s not like I speak gibberish and Seinfeld quotes (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but talking does feel to me a bit like playing a board game whose…
