Spoilers ahead!

finished:

• Kiriko Yukoku S-SSR18 寛・汗・幽・湯 L'Antica to heal the soul. SakuMami both getting concerned when Kiriko sneezes (because of cold weather) and asking her if she wants to hold their hands practically at the same time... and then she holds both of theirs... it's peak. Also love ShinyP doing massage voice when hearing Kiriko talk about her, Yuika, and Kogane's experience with them.

• WORLD TRE@SURE in FRANCE
• Shinsoku Ikkon Ep. Zero (Ch. 1) (GS)
• FRAME Ep. Zero (Ch. 1) (GS)
• Taskmaster NZ S5 I watched like halfway in February and then didn't watch any in March but now I have finished! I think my favourite contestant this time was Tofiga (I'm so sad he wasn't able to be in studio!)
• Admire Vega Career I've watched RTTT before so I kinda knew a lot of what was to come, but it still hit like a truck T.T So cute in the true ending where Ayabe was like 'I find myself hanging out a lot with the usual three' ohhh ohhhh. I also liked seeing her and Curren together <3 and that apparently Opera falls asleep the first.
• Tsubame Amaya Hajime I support Tsubame's right to punch GakuP in the face but I did like her overall arc here of breaking her pride and subsequently her resignation to being the 2nd to Sena's 1st.
• Natsuki Kimura Commus 1-4
• Natsuki Kimura Commu+ N, Commu+ Jet to the Future
• Mihono Bourbon Career Bourbon is so cute... I like that her career is basically coming to understand the spectrum of emotions that come with being a racer, although I was a bit ? with the start of it (nothing really major, but I found it funny how everyone at the start was so worried about Bourbon taking on longer distances because her natural strength was sprints but in game her aptitude for sprints was C and her medium was A...). Also I got the hot spring ticket with her!!
• Divinity Original Sin II We made it HOORAY!!!!!!! aw man. I officially restarted my recent playthrough in Jan this year, but I played all the way until end of Nameless Isle like 2 years ago? So this game has been with me for a while... I might (10% chance) do a more in-depth write-up separately but awawawaawawa. Anyways good game overall! I will be back someday to play for Lohse, Beast, and Red Prince questlines. Play DOS2 so you can lock in and listen to Sebille's life-changing lines (and get sad over Ifan's and Fane's storylines).
• Sid Meier's Memoir!
• RHOA S16
• Infiltration (#0)
• Beginning of a New Era A rewatch because it came out in cinemas here!
• The Holy Mountain Random pick because I suddenly felt like watching a movie with Visuals and I almost forgot Jodorowsky does film too lol (I have only read The Incal!) and was like I should check it out. Though I can't really comment on Meanings and all that (I feel like at least another watch is necessary for me), it was a real visual feast - good watch!
• Hokuriku Proxy War
• Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow I have no real excuse for taking over a month to finish this. Du Yaoye playable when (never)
• Arknights MS Chapter 8 well. I really liked walking through Talulah's backstory though current battle is eh. Especially the end confrontation, I kinda thought Talulah would be more... present? Maybe I misread it, but I kinda felt it was Kashchey vs Ch'en + Amiya and Talulah is hanging around (as Kashchey's vessel). EDIT: Okay I did some summary reading and I guess Kashchey/Deathless Black Snake caaaan stay. I still feel clueless on the whole deal though. Whatever, looking forward (sort of. I think I could do away with Kaschey as of right now) to seeing what happens with Talulah/Kashchey. Also I really wish they made it easier to read MS in game because I could not figure out the order for Chapter 8 and had to read elsewhere. And a bookmark thing would be great too in general for all the stories.

ongoing:

• Taskmaster S21
• Jimushiny
• Planescape Torment Going from DOS2 combat to PT combat is hilarious... Switch d-pad is kinda annoying me but I will persist!
• The IDOLM@STER Finally lmfao. My favourites so far are Hibiki and Iori!
• Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream This is a great game. Somehow¹ I can't stop comparing it to Little Computer People in the sense that I now can watch my miis do stuff on my island 24/7. I love observing #Observing.
• RHOA S17
• RHOChesire S19 Almost forgot that compared to what I've seen of USA RH shows, RHOChesire is like la la land.
• RHONJ S14
• Arknights MS Chapter 9 Let's hope this doesn't take me as long as Chapter 8 did - I need to get to the later chapters so I can unlock some modules in game!
• The Opium War Honestly I didn't touch it at all this month (also Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei tbh) but I'm putting it here. As a mark of shame. I Will finish it in May.
