So many characters are just randomly dropped in (most of them just to be removed right away having had no impact on anything). I hope season 3 is a bit more coherent because season 2 is all over the place.10 Jan 2026 04:33 +0000at://did:plc:ab5lim4it47t34icevug7lx2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mc26mki26s27https://bsky.app/profile/maida.kim/post/3maixajoqm226Finished my Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 handmade figurine of Monoco!

They're the ones that are just so good that I don't care about the flaws. All of my very favorite games are flawed in some way(s).

I’ve found myself improving by learning the same song multiple times, but in progressively more challenging arrangements. The progression is really interesting to see when learning this way. It’s very rewarding each time I “level up.”14 Oct 2025 02:07 +0000at://did:plc:ab5lim4it47t34icevug7lx2/app.bsky.feed.post/3m34nhaqqr22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/maida.kim/post/3m2sietyps22uThis is my most-anticipated movie this year.
