  • I love the Element client for Matrix. I use it with my friends and I have joined a lot of communities on there. It’s Discord-like, but I personally find it much easier to navigate than Discord. It’s free, open source, decentralized, you can self-host if that’s your jam, it’s got some solid security and usability features, call quality is great, and I’ve found it to be very stable and reliable. I’m a little biased because I personally don’t like Discord, I find the UI clunky and unpleasant to use, but I love using Element. If you love Discord, you will find Element familiar, but you may or may not appreciate the differences.


  • My personal AOTY was Oshi no Ko. There is a lot going on in that show, even just tonally between drama, suspense, and humor; but it balances everything so well, and it has some really well-written, complex women characters, which was awesome to see.

    Aqua is kind of an incel, but I think the parallels drawn between him and Ai’s stalker are intentional, or at least that’s the impression that I get after S1. Even so, his strange and convoluted relationship to Ai makes for a really interesting psychological dilemma, and he is a very interesting protagonist. While some of his actions are well-intentioned, he is also capable of some pretty abhorrent stuff. I hope to see something of a redemption arc for him, but wherever it goes, I think it will be a fun watch.

    Beyond some excellent characterization and great writing, the music is amazing, the art direction and animation are gorgeous, and the overarching mystery and supernatural twist make it extremely compelling.

    Season 2 is one of my most anticipated upcoming anime.



















  • Idk if it’s “bad,” exactly, but I don’t like it. I liked the meta for the first game way more, I miss the old 6v6 team structure, I don’t like the changes made to my favorite characters, and the monetization is really sucky. It felt to me like they took everything that was wrong with the first game, kept it as is, and then took a bunch of the good stuff and made it worse. lol

    But that’s just my opinion, I know there are def people that like it. I only wish they’d release “Overwatch Classic” or something so that people who prefer OW1 can still play it–ideally with the lootboxes removed and a way to unlock character skins and stuff by playing those characters and progressing, but I’d honestly take just like a snapshot of the last stable release before the OW2 update. It was one of my favorite games and I just really don’t like the OW2 updates. 😥
