Just finished up Blood on the Tracks volume 6. Shuzo Oshimi is delivering again.

I'm not sure I've taken in a story involving emotional manipulation that's felt so messed up - in this case, a mother with her son.

His drawing style is amazing - the close ups and range of expression delivered is next level, from what I've read at least, and that really emphasises the mother in the story because she can look and act normal enough but when she turns.. it's scary.. and it's getting scarier.

Some websites just can't keep me logged in for more than a day or two EVEN WHEN I CHECK THE BOX TO KEEP ME LOGGED IN 😭

Putting #pokemonscarletviolet to a side for a while. I've complained about it not hooking me before and I'll try to articulate why some other time, but I also played it for the first time in a while yesterday and it crashed (for the first time) after an hour. No I don't use auto-save.

I'm just past half way so I might hold out for #pokemonhome integration then finish it up, maybe it'll be patched up a bit by then too.

The winter sales are the perfect time (and excuse) to acquire key titles I want to check out in 2023.

The Case of the Golden Idol
Immortality
Kara no Shojo
The Spirit and the Mouse
Final Fantasy VI
Genesis Noir

All fascinating in their own ways, let's see if they keep me engaged enough to finish 'em...
