Sonic 3 poster

63: Sonic 3 - 12/20/24

I loved this movie SO MUCH!! It is most definitely the best Sonic movie so far. Shadow might be my favorite now? (Yes I know I need to actually play the games one of these days)

#mediathread2024 catchup 🧵

39: Ace Attorney (live action movie)

I really loved this, it was super fun to watch with friends. Not sure why they had to change Redd White’s design like that though 🤔

Knuckles (4/27/24) I did have fun watching this with Ris but it was NOT well written 🥲 also the sheer amount of product placement drove me up the wall ngl

A Space for the Unbound (4/29/24) This game is beautiful and I was sobbing for most of the last chapter. I don't want to give away many details but this was an unforgettable experience. Please play it (make sure you bring tissues and give yourself time to process emotions) 🥺❤️

The Fall Guy (5/12/24) I got dragged to this for Mothers Day, expected it to be just ok but actually really enjoyed it It's well written, the editing was good, and I had a good time!! Couldn't really tell it was a "remake" but I also hadn't even heard of the original tv show tbh 🫣

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (5/21/24) Beautiful game I have been crying for a while now, I love the seasalt trio so much I think it would really benefit from a remake, so much of the character development gets lost in the cutscene collection 😭 very glad I actually played the game

#mediathread2024 (🧵)

27-30: Knuckles, A Space for the Unbound, The Fall Guy (2024), and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (3/8/24) This sure was a movie! xD

Call of the Sea (3/9/24) This game was really good and so pretty!! Some of the puzzles were challenging and I have one gripe with a certain mechanic but other than that I definitely recommend this one, especially if you really enjoy puzzle games

Glittermitten Grove (3/16/24) This game is a fucking fever dream what the fuck. Anyway idk how to describe the emotion I'm feeling after finishing this but I haven't felt this way since I played 11th Hour... maybe it's the feeling of having finally DEFEATED something

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire (4/20/24) My main criticism of this movie was gonna be a lack of exposition for any of the characters... but it turns out that was all in a movie that came out 3 years ago that I NEVER even heard about?? Anyway it was decent and I liked the queer storyline

23-26: Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, Call of the Sea, Glittermitten Grove, and Ghostbusters Frozen Empire

#mediathread2024

Her Story 3/1/24 People told me l'd go feral for this game and they were RIGHT This game is a masterpiece please play it!!!!!

Brave Little Toaster To the Rescue (3/1/24) I had seen this one before but I had forgotten most of it except for the sex printer 🤣 Anyway whoever wrote this had no idea how computers work but it was fun to watch with friends!!

OneShot (3/8/24) This game was so cool and Niko is my child now!! I don't wanna give too much away in case y'all wanna play (in which case you should go in as blind as possible)

Journey (3/8/24) Genuinely one of the most beautiful gaming experiences I have ever had, this game is gonna be in my mind forever, PLAY IT!!!

19-22: Her Story, Brave Little Toaster To the Rescue, OneShot, and Journey

#mediathread2024 <- my thoughts on the media I have consumed this year (currently being transferred over from the bird app)

Album cover of Linkin Park's new album: From Zero

From Zero - Linkin Park

A stylistic mishmash, LP's best since Living Things (though that isn't saying much, seeing as what's come since). Held aloft by the standout The Emptiness Machine, followed some ways behind by Good Things Go and Two Faced.

#MediaThread2024

Abzû (2/26/24) PRETTYYYY I loved this a lot, and I wasn't expecting to cry during it but I sure did 👍 Very good game and it made me even more excited to play Journey next week too

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion (2/28/24) This game was so silly and fun!! I loved the humor and all the hats you can wear I really enjoyed it and I hope I can play the sequel sometime this year!!

17-18: Abzû and Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion

#mediathread2024

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2/26/24) CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. I can't believe I had never seen it and now I need more people to see it it's so GOOD??? Milo is very gender btw

Avenue Q (2/26/24) I had listened to the soundtrack before but never seen the actual show. It was SO funny 😂

15-16. Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Avenue Q

#mediathread2024

Gone Home (2/18/24) Absolutely beautiful game, I love the story and how they structured the storytelling, and I'm glad it ended the way that it did. Highly recommend!!

Dracula Dead and Loving It (2/26/24) Somehow a Mel Brooks movie that I had never seen before?? We watched this in Spashcord and I had a blast!! Also Ris tried to tell me that Leslie Nielsen was Liam Neeson and I'm never letting them live that down 🤣

Brave Little Toaster (2/26/24) Another Spashcord movie night watch. I never saw this as a kid, only one of the sequels. AND I'M GLAD KID ME NEVER SAW IT BC THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED 😂 Adult me enjoyed it though even with the nightmare clown Also side note on this one. The version we watched was like... broken?? And just. Stopped playing right as the chop shop man grabbed Radio to disassemble him O_O We called it accidental analog horror but then we did manage to find a functioning version to finish the movie 🤣

12-14: Gone Home, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, and Brave Little Toaster

#mediathread2024

Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island (2/11/24) This game was so cute and silly I loved it!! Highly recommend and it's easy to finish in one sitting

Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard (2/11/24) Just like the first one this is a fun and silly little adventure and I loved it a lot!! Hoping to be able to stream the 3rd game at some point soon 🔍🐸

10-11: Frog Detective and Frog Detective 2

#mediathread2024

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) (2/8/24) Decided to watch this with @RisXch on a whim, holy shit it was good!! I did not expect to get emotional over the silly hedgehog movie but here we are 🤣 also Jim Carrey ATE as Dr Robotnik

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) (2/8/24) You know we had to watch this too 😂 HOW WAS IT BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE Also I legit guessed one of the twists simply based on typecasting 😌✨ I can't wait for the third movie aaaaa (Maybe I'll actually play a real Sonic game at some point...)

8-9: Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)

#mediathread2024

To The Moon (2/7/24) I openly sobbed several times during this game. This game is PHENOMENALLY written and I'm gonna be thinking about it for the rest of my life. PLAY IT. PLEASE. 😭💕

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension (2/7/24) Spoiler alert (/j) there is a game and it's a really good one!! Perfect balance of silly jokes and meaningful storytelling, and amazing puzzle design

6-7: To the Moon and There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension

#mediathread2024

Kitchen Nightmares (old and new) (2/5/24) Ris and I had been watching this on and off for a while and finally got through all of the episodes. I will never forget Amy's Baking Company... 🤣

A Memoir Blue (2/6/24) I loved how it conveyed all the emotions and story without any dialogue at all. Beautiful game, only marred by some optimization issues. I cried at the end 🥺

4-5: Kitchen Nightmares and A Memoir Blue

#mediathread2024

PMD Red Rescue Team (1/18/24) We’re starting off with a replay, I wanted something comfy/familiar while I was sick It was fun to go back to the original and I will always love this game!! I was a Psyduck and my partner was a Torchic named after Ris

Superstore (1/29/24) Ris and I started this show on a whim bc we wanted to watch something during our Canada trip but our current shows weren’t available I ended up falling in love with this show and its characters, it’s so well written with so much heart and I cried at how well it ended

FFXIV A Realm Reborn (1/29/24) Been chipping away at this slowly for the last few months - some parts were kinda tedious but overall I enjoy this game and I've heard it only gets better from here. Also can't believe I got jumpscared by a certain voice actor right at the end xD Can't wait to continue into post-ARR soon and special thanks to Ris for being my guide and also Sparrow and Figleaf for doing the final dungeons with me :D

1-3: PMD Red Rescue Team, Superstore, and FFXIV A Realm Reborn

I think I’m gonna slowly repost my 2024 media thread posts from the bird app over to here, probably in groups of 2-3 screenshotted entries and not all at once so I don’t overwhelm anyone

Gonna be using the tag #mediathread2024 so you can easily filter for it on my profile :3

🧵Media thread for 2024!! Template by @MegaDriveBrad on Twitter/X!! Gonna try to actually finish shows and maybe even some games this time lol

(Most of this thread is from my Twitter so keep that in mind!!)
