whoops forgot the #mediathread2025

if you wanna know my thoughts on anything specific feel free to ask, I feel bad that these didn’t get dedicated posts 😭

#MediaThread2025

Wake Up Dead Man

Really nice story with great characters, especially the main one. I also liked how it explores modern Christianity within American culture but also includes the more genuine aspect of religion without being overbearing, something I dont see often.

#MediaThread2025

Weapons

One of my favorite films this year. From its unusual storytelling to incredible performances, this movie left its mark for me. Would like to watch it again soon.

#MediaThread2025

Pool Kids by Pool Kids

Incredibly good music; this band is really starting to grow on me. This has strong, powerful sounds that juxtaposes their earlier album that has a more mellow tone.

Album cover for Amir by Tamino, featuring Tamino floating on a body of water, his head appearing above it.

Amir by Tamino (2018)

Discovered this artist out on a whim, and im glad I did. A nice blend of mellow & somber sound, indicative of Radiohead/Thom Yorke, along with rich vocals. "Habibi" & "Tummy" were my favorites. Gonna check out more of this artist.

Tron Ares Soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails, with red text of the title and NIN logo on a black solid background.

Tron Ares Soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails

Crazy they made a whole movie based on this album. Nice electronic, intense sounds. Not as orchestral as the Tron Legacy soundtrack, but it stands out on its own. "Who Wants to Live Forever" is my favorite.

Album cover for Tunnel Vision by Beach Bunny, featuring a girl in a skirt and sweater laying down & leaning on a stool in her bedroom. A heart-shaped mushroom cloud appears outside her window.

Tunnel Vision by Beach Bunny

Really enjoyed it. It had a more punk sound compared to their previous album. "Clueless" & "Pixie Cut" were my personal favorites

I'm sorry, this year's media thread was a disaster. Too many things happened that made me neglect noting games, TV shows, movies, and so on. I think the sum of those things should be around 60-80, with mostly games.
Don't know if I'll repeat the experience. #mediathread2025

Since i have such a hard time recalling what I've played/done lately I figured I might as well put together a late 2024 - 2025 media thread for stuff I got through/things I'm enjoying! Art courtesy of: @riversausage.bsky.social‬
First thing?

Detroiters cover featuring Sam and Tim both giving a thumbs up

20: Detroiters

GOD this show was so funny, Tim and Sam have the best chemistry too

I really wish it hadn’t been canceled so we could have more episodes 😭 But at least we still have ITYSL!

Anyway definitely check this out if you can, especially if you enjoyed the humor of ITYSL

#mediathread2025

19: Dark Places

This book was ADDICTIVE like I had such a hard time putting it down each reading session

Really scratched that true crime itch too while still thankfully remaining fictional

#mediathread2025

18: Bye, Baby

This book activated my inner gossip for sure, I couldn’t put it down bc I NEEDED to find out what happened to make the characters Like That™

I do think there was one late-story reveal that made a character less interesting but overall this was a decent read for me

Cover art of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

I finished 13 Sentinels this weekend and I can't recommend this game enough. Incredible story, beautiful art and music, amazing characters, its such a masterpiece. I've never been so sad to be finished with a game. 😭 #mediathread2025

Rugrats in Paris movie poster

17: Rugrats in Paris

Somehow I had never seen this? It was pretty good!! And I'm glad to finally know where Kimi came from xD

#mediathread2025

steam splash art for A Game About Digging A Hole

16: A Game About Digging A Hole

Exactly what it says on the tin xD I had a lot of fun with this game and I definitely recommend trying it if you haven't yet!! The digging is so satisfying :D (no there is nothing weird down there... nothing at all don't worry about it... *wink*)

#mediathread2025

Mulholland Drive movie poster

15: Mulholland Drive

This movie grabbed me by the brainstem and then twisted it xD The ending confused me and I feel like I wanna decode the whole movie so I'll probably watch it again sooner rather than later

Definitely recommend, it's so mindfucky and I love that kind of stuff

#mediathread2025

Lost Highway movie poster

14: Lost Highway

I was so invested in this movie even though I barely had a clue what was going on in some parts. It was really cool to see this as a fan of Silent Hill 2 since this definitely inspired that game in a lot of ways 👀✨

#mediathread2025

Piglet's Big Game cover art

13: Piglet's Big Game (PS2)

I kind of knew the vibes of this going in thanks to the internet but GOD. This really is just a horror game for kids xD

I really did enjoy playing it even through all the jank! There's just something about wonky licensed games that appeals to me :3

inbento game art - features a white cat making a bento box lunch for her orange kitten

12: Inbento

This game was so adorable. I loved having little puzzles to do before bed on my Steam Deck ❤️ and it was such a sweet way to show a story of a family growing up!

I did have to use hints for some puzzles but tbh I chalk that up to me always playing when I was sleepy

#mediathread2025

Starting my 2025 media thread! I just do mine monthly but I could be talked into making individual posts if it’s preferred. I just keep this in my Notes app and take a screenshot of it every month. Feel free to ask about my opinion on anything! #mediathread2025

Blue Velvet movie poster

11: Blue Velvet

There really isn’t a word to describe this other than “Lynchian” lol

I was locked in and couldn’t stop watching but it was also so stressful and brutal

Anyway this movie might be what happens if you’re nosy. The risk is up to you if you find an ear on the ground!

#mediathread2025

Michigan Report from Hell box art

10: Michigan Report from Hell

Y’all I can’t even believe this is a real game. It’s so bad it’s hilarious. It’s barely playable. It ends super abruptly. And it doesn’t even take place in Michigan???

I am really glad I experienced this, it was a trip and a half xD

#mediathread2025

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) promotional image

9: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

I spent years afraid to watch this movie because I saw the shoe scene out of context as a small child and it traumatized me

However. This movie FUCKS. I'm so glad I've finally seen it xD The way the animation interacts with the live action is so cool!!!

#mediathread2025

Dune (1984) movie poster

8: Dune (1984)

This movie was really cool. Absolutely loved the visual design, and it had a great soundtrack. Kyle MacLachlan did a great job in this movie too :3

Shoutout to Bee for running David Lynch movie marathons in her server so I can become cultured

#mediathread2025

Eraserhead movie poster

7: Eraserhead

Ok so this was a wild ride. This movie is so weird and freaky, but in a good way? I was absolutely enthralled. Sound design was on point as were the practical effects, really sold the freaky nature of everything :D

#mediathread2025

box art for Link: Faces of Evil

6: Link The Faces of Evil

Holy CRAP this game was wild - it’s somehow jankier than Wand of Gamelon?? It’s certainly A Game™ that’s for sure

also I’m very glad I got to experience Morshu in all his glory 💣

#mediathread2025

Castle in the Sky poster

5: Castle in the Sky

This movie is gorgeous and it clearly influenced so many other media that came after it. Things like Final Fantasy, Zelda, one of the Professor Layton games, just to name a few off the top of my head.

I’m so glad I’ve finally seen this! I really liked it :3
