May 2024 Retrospective
I completely forgot about this month's retrospective so I am just gonna quickly rattle off some thoughts.
Finished box set 4 One Piece Manga
I finished the fourth box set of the One Piece manga which brought me up to volume 90. Since the fifth box set is not likely to be released for two or three more years I decided to subscribe to the Shonen Jump app so I could finally start reading One Piece as it is released.
Looking back this means in the first five months of 2024 I read all 1116 published chaptersβ¦
The Leafs Still Suck!
'nuff said
Unicorn Overlord
Unfortunately Unicorn Overlord is another one of those solid games that suffers from "shitty final boss" syndrome. It makes you do something that you've never really had to do for the entire game, and it does it as the second of three phases of the battle. After realizing this I lost all urge to play and just shut the game down.
Watched seasons 1 and 2 of Welcome to Wrexham
Welcome to Wrexham is an excellent documentary on Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds's insane idea to buy the oldest Welsh football club. Even if you don't enjoy sports I think you will be able to appreciate how much football means to the city of Wrexham.
Watched The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is a love letter to the stunt industry and any film with Journey is A++ in my books.
