RE: https://mstdn.social/@Krazov/116458540996144860
And now, finally, after seven years, "The Boys" came to an end. The finale was so-and-so for me, but I'm far from criticising it as a large part of the Internet seems to be. It's a comic-book story, and that has its side effects. Also, it's generally tough to come up with a good ending; much easier with a beginning. It was satisfactory and what Billy Butcher says at the end is a sign of a slight maturity.
Now we'll get for a spin-off. I am curious, because Soldier Boy has potential.

After finishing "Veep," I decided to give a shot to another show from the same writer, Armando Iannucci. This time the setting is sci-fi, on a space cruiser flying to Titan and back. In the first episode, they miss their window and a couple of remaining weeks becomes 3 years. Hilarity ensues. The sci-fi is not merely a decoration but serves some story points (like a coffin becoming a satellite of the much larger cruiser or ring of human excrement).

But let's go back to the game. Van Helsing can slash enemies with his arms, though it reminds me of Wolverine; however, it was the same actor playing in both movies, so I guess it makes sense; then, there are shootable weapons: I started with a pistol, but soon was handed a crossbow by the friar accompanying us. There is also a grappling hook, something that even Batman didn't have back in 1989. And we can jump; so far, I could jump over a table.

After keeping it in a fridge for a moment, I would like to present a text I wrote about how "Dark Crimes" with Jim Carrey successfully implements aesthetics of Polishcore.

I was 43 when I learned to properly use D-pad controls. Never stop learning.

"Liminal" is a Game-Boy game where we explore a strange land, inhabited by various creatures. We can talk to them and enter various places, there is even a platforming sequence (with unlimited tries), but I haven't encountered any dangers, which makes it a GB's walking simulator. And all in 4 colours. Nice. At one point, it displayed me a QR code, not something I expected from a game on Game Boy.

Amiga CD32 had a CD drive, but a lot of games there were simple ports from Amiga 1200 and others, and as a result, some of those games would take 2-3 MB (out of 650/700 MB available). Transitional period. Thanks to that, it was possible to buy in the mid-1990s CDs with hundreds of games on them. It kind of returns now with many retro consoles that come packed with a lot of games; all in a grey area, though I only heard of a single case of legal problems because of that.

"The Bride" (2026) is Maggie Gyllenhaal's movie about the bride of Frankenstein's monster. The bride is played by Jessie Buckley, while Christian Bale is the monster, both amazing; the list of known actors is longer, including a husband and a brother of the director. The movie is a mix of comic-book and musical and gangster movies, and apparently, the mix didn't land well with many people. Might be a case of "mixed reviews first, cult following later," though.

Season 4 of "Slow Horses" brings us more of River Cartwright's backstory. There is also deepened relation between Shirley and Marcus. The new addition to the team, JK Coe, is a nice slow-burner who doesn't play a role until late into the season. Other than that, it's good ol' Jackson Lamb being dick to everyone and Diane Taverner plotting, although this times she's not the driver. I like that the show is not shy of killing off likeable characters for good; no plot shields.

This is something I did not expect from playing "Breath of the Wild" and "Tears of the Kingdom" — that it would prepare me for Ghibli worlds. And it's just "oh, cool," but much deeper immersion, when you can imagine how to storm the village or when a character is climbing somewhere, you can see the stamina bar dropping.

So, a thread with short reviews about modern SNES, Mega Drive, and GameBoys games. Modern as in, 2025.

Good to see that Microsoft's dashboards are confusing as always; feels like a constant in this world of chaos.

Getting RetroArch to run Amiga CD32 was exhausting.

A side note: I probably used the D-pad correctly for the first time here. I normally hold the tip of my thumb on a single direction, as if it was a button; then it takes time to travel from left to write, and top-downs are even worse. However, this time I put my finger in the middle, and this was a bit of revelation for me: suddenly, it was easier to navigate. Learning never ends.

Gameplay wise, it's a top-down, and we control titular Van Helsing. There are kind of in-game cut scenes, where the game takes over control over our character, and others join, and there are dialogues at the bottom of the screen. They generally follow the movie, including "It smells like a wet dog here," which I remembered, but I have an impression that they were shortened to fit the screen, as well as the game format, and they are even campier than they were.

Let's start with visuals, which I welcomed with sympathy, because they reminded me of various renders from the mid-1990s games, like "Crusader: No Remorse" or even "PlaneScape: Torment." The key is *reminds me*. Serving a 1995 quality in 2004 was probably a miss; however, as my friend said, "nostalgia beats IGN score," so here we are.

"Van Helsing" is a GameBoy Advance game from 2004, and it's based on the movie of the same title, with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. As with the Wolverine game last week, there are two different games for GBA and consoles at the time. I gotta say, I had fun with it, but then I read it was a bit of a disappointment at the time, which doesn't really surprise me. But now, it doesn't matter anymore.
