My thoughts and reviews!
I'm trying to be more intentional and purposeful about media I watch/read/play/listen to/etc lately, and part of that includes writing reviews for all of it, no matter how small!
This is just a big collection of them all in one place, but you can check out my

House Flipper 2
Frozen District
House Flipper 2 is a game with 24 separate choices for kitchen cabinet handles, each of which can have up to 45 different materials. That sentence alone should tell you if the game is for you.
I opened this game and promptly lost thirteen hours across a whole boxing day to arranging color coordinated toilet rolls and picking undertones in paints that my partner mistook for identical whites. And I enjoyed it!
If you're the sort of freak (affectionate) that loves arranging candles on a windowsill or finding the prettiest way to display your books on the shelf, you'll love this game. If you want a cozy relaxing time to just make a welcoming little home, you'll love this game. If that all sounds incredibly boring to you, you probably won't.
Does it suffer from some issues? Sure, though they're mostly in the technical glitch department. Shadows live longer than the things casting them sometimes, and my head has a concerning tendency to separate itself from my body for... some reason.
Also there aren't enough curtains or drapes.
But if you can overlook the occasional jank, House Flipper 2 is a wonderful extension of the original, and certainly worth checking out.

Superman (2025)
James Gunn
This might just be my favorite depiction of Superman on screen. It understands the source material on such a core level, from Superman as an unrelenting force of good and kindness in the face of a world often absent it, to Lex Luthor as the supreme hater of all time.
It feels like watching a comic book play out on screen, and it's so refreshing to see a superhero movie full of color and vibrancy, especially a DC one.
Easily my favorite movie of 2025. Kindness is the real punk rock.
