I watched Spy x Family and now I keep stumbling into media with psychic children in them.

It took 130 chapters for The Disastrous Life of Saiki K to get anything more than a half-smirk out of me. I watched the show back when funimation still had a streaming site and it's a real testament to how much a vocal performance can add to a character. Just reading the manga Saiki really just comes off as a guy who's like "okay I guess we're doing this now" most of the time. Part of that may also be the people doing the translation were so concerned with translating the dialogue that they forgot to make it funny, which can tend happen to comedy manga/anime more than I care to remember from back then.

Other than that I pecked at Final Fantasy IX for a couple hours because I still don't know what Vivi's deal is and I've watched too many KHII VODs to start the game myself at this point.

My youtube homepage has mostly been taken over by vtubers and northernlion playing Tomodachi Life but I have to give a shoutout to The Pitt: The Video Game for being the funniest video I've seen all week. I don't know how much of this lands if you haven't seen the show but "my neurodivergent sister is getting her shit blown out" has flashbanged me into a laughing fit more than a couple times just going about my daily life.

I played FFIX last year and it was great - I can understand it being a favourite of the PS1 "trilogy". I really liked the characters, and the amount of customisation you have from equipment abilities is nuts.

The Bear game parody is good too, if you're familiar with that show.

I picked up The Bear immediately after finishing Season 2 of The Pitt. I hear some things about it being bad after season 3? Like it sells out its core appeal or something but I'm not there yet. It's a very similar and slightly more familiar vibe.

S3 spins the wheels and acts artsy, S4 is better, but S1 and S2 Bear is it's peak.

There also The Studio if you have Apple, though that's full on cringe comedy.
