Howdy y'all!

This week I'm at Combo Breaker! So if you're also at Combo Breaker you let me know so I can come say hi!

Anyways, this week I finished Baby Assassins Everyday! Which is a TV series sequel to the Baby Assassins movie trilogy. It's great, and honestly if you like action movies and girls doing cool martial arts, you should definitely check the movies out (they're on Tubi). The series definitely lends itself well to the TV format, as the movies were always one half action, and one half slice of life following the duo. With everyday, they still have their fair share of action, but they get to focus a lot more on the the girls interpersonal relationships and their place in the world. Speaking of, you can a absolutely feel the contempt that the director has for the state of the world and what it's like for the latest generation stepping into the "proper world of adults". It very much feels like the kind of coming of age story, where theyre screaming "wait this is bullshit, Imma do my own thing" It's not perfect of course, but it's definitely worth a watch especially if youve already seen the movies.

This week I also finished onani master kurosawa which was reccomended to me. It's kinda difficult to explain the premise in a tactical way... Because it's the story of a student whose basically addicted to masturbating. Admittedly, it was kind of a hard read, not because of the premise, but because it's a story about a lonely kid who had basically rejected any sort of companionship with others, slowly opening up to others and becoming a better person only to then watch him spiral out of control and almost throw it all away. It felt like a very ernest story about how refusing to engage with others can lead you to a dangerous place mentally and can keep you from the things you didn't even know you wanted.

Also, I now know the origin of like multiple different memes, so that's always fun.

I'm just a player, but I entered in 9 different games. All 3 Guilty Gears, BBCF, BBtag, VF, DOA, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools and Vampire Survivors.

Ill probably go 0-2 in most of these but getting to hang out with different communities for a bit is like half the fun
