Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward was one of the games that was on my New Year’s Resolutions list for the year. While I haven’t quite hit the start of the next expansion, Stormblood, yet – I have rolled credits on the main expansion, and am partway through the patch content between expansions (including having done one of the new Raid series – Alexander). So, I’m at a pretty good spot to give my thoughts on the expansion itself.

On an as-of-this-recording recent episode of Charlie Jane Anders & Annalee Newitz podcast “Our Opinions Are Correct”, they discuss ways that SF cons (implicitly meant to be LitSF cons) can be more equitable in how they’re organized and run – and they present a lot of solutions that Anime Conventions have been using successfully, but without getting into that anime cons have been using those solutions. I get into why there might be that failure of cross-pollination of ideas.

When I was a kid, I played a board game called HeroQuest a lot. This was a collaboration between Games Workshop and Milton Bradley, intended to transform the dungeon-crawling RPG experience into a board game. Eventually, I ended up having to get rid of my copy of that game in a move, but I always wanted that experience back, either as a board game or video game. I missed out on the Descent board game when that came out, and that never really got a PC or console version. However, Gloomhaven did get a console and PC port. So, I thought, this is what I’ve been looking for. It wasn’t.

When I was in Middle School, I discovered Hong Kong martial arts films through researching the wuxia genre on the Internet after watching Big Trouble in Little China, and the first I sought out was Bruce Lee’s The Big Boss. So, I’ve always known that Bruce was one of cinema’s greatest film performers, and I’d assumed he could do no wrong. That there was no such thing as a mediocre Bruce Lee film. It turns out there is, and it’s called Way of the Dragon.

Trog, as a film, is probably one of the more lazy and derivative horror films I’ve seen. However, it accomplishes this not by knocking off one genre of horror films, but several all at once, in an effort to turn it into some kind of horror cinema Dagwood. It doesn’t succeed, but it does manage to be entertaining in the attempt, but not in the ways they intended.

I’ve talked before on blog posts and on podcasts that I do the unspeakable act of watching anime with my parents. Now, I don’t watch everything – we get together a couple times a week, and I carefully pick the shows we watch, but sometimes we watch things that are fanservice adjacent. My Dress Up Darling was one of them. As my dad majored in Geology, I figured Ruri Rocks would be a good fit as well. I was correct.

Nichijou was an anime that got me and my family through the overwhelming tension of the 2019-2020 Oregon wildfires. When I learned that City, another manga from the same creator, was getting an anime adaptation this year, it became an immediate addition to my watchlist. I was not disappointed.
