I have beaten Boyfriend Dungeon. I beat the final boss with all 7 weapons, meaning 7 fights. The endings are the same, no matter who you wield or who you love most, and you get nothing for the effort.

My final words for this game?
Unfinished, unpolished, possibly unfixable. Spoilers in the following thread.

I can't stop thinking about Boyfriend Dungeon, and not in a good way. I've read how terrible the representation of ace/aro people gets as the story goes along. Here are my thoughts.
In a thread. This game is written for alloromantic people. It's as simple as that. I guess the thought was we don't play dating sims, so why cater to us? Except we do. We play whatever games we want, and it doesn't matter why.

So I picked up Boyfriend Dungeon for the Switch because I'm a sucker for dungeon crawls AND otomes. Sounds perfect so far! It was $21 after tax, so a little steep, but that's Switch games nowadays, unfortunately. At the start, it asks if you want texts from someone named Mom, 3 picks of pronouns (he, she, they) that can be changed at the apt, and a trigger warning.
"This game may include references to unwanted advances, stalking, and other forms of emotional manipulation. Play with care."

Sunday is here! We've had some ill health in the household, so I figure the best time to lay about with a horror movie is now!
On this #Kissmatewatches, we're continuing the Hellraiser series with Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) dir by Tony Randel. Something I didn't mention last time is the DVD we got had no captions. We were let down, but we did the best we could.
HB: HR2 also doesn't have captions. Different DVD, not in a set.
I am peeved- PEEVED, SIR, that I do not have my written accessibilities!

Today is a wonderful day for a #Kissmatewatches! So grab a chair, pull out your puzzle boxes, and let's put together "Hellraiser" (1987) dir by Clive Barker.

I'm excited! Are you excited? I'm SO excited! I know it was based on a book, this is the origin of Pinhead, and there's a Faustian deal that's made by a man who seeks pleasures inside of pain.

(But does this earn him a place at Pride?)

I used to work at a museum. We'd stand for hours with few breaks while being told to keep the breaks we do have shorter and fewer. After 7 years, my knees are starting to give out. There's hardly any cartilage left in the joint. For 7 years (both full and part time), I would stand for 7 hours each day. That's not counting when I got home.
I only had medical insurance during 1-2 years of that time. I was trying to hold a job, live in a 1 Bed 1 Bath apartment with only one other person, and pay off my car.

PS controllers have to charge, so let's go for a #Kissmatewatches! Yeah! Today's is a randomly selected pick (free to watch on Tubi) of... Gods of Egypt, dir by Alex Proyas!
Why is the cast mostly white? Did they mean- No, Gerard Butler as Set. Egyptian Gods. Huh. Oh boy. #Kissmatewatches All I know about this movie is that I was told to avoid it. When it came out, I did. Now? I have to see what the stink was for. And since it's free, the only thing I'm wasting is my time!

It's that time again where we huddle close to the TV and find out what horrors lay behind the titles. Today's #Kissmatewatches will be the FINAL installment of the Chucky franchise, Cult of Chucky dir by Don Mancini. #Kissmatewatches "Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane, Nica Pierce is wrongly convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family."

So it's a direct sequel from the last terrible movie. Good to know.

It's Friday night, this, the eve of the ides of May. Why not ignore some obvious warning signs and tackle another Chucky movie?
It's #Kissmmatewatches Time with Curse of Chucky (2013), dir by Don Mancini! "He's back! From the filmmakers that brought you Chucky comes the terrifying return of the possessed pint-sized doll who brings unparalleled bloodshed and terror to a new family."
Cool, cool, um, question: will we have Jennifer Tilly? Yes? Okay, I'm in!

I know Mother's Day isn't the same for all of us. I choose to end this day with a #Kissmatewatches of Seed of Chucky, dir by Dan Mancini! Because topical! "Chucky and Tiffany are resurrected by their innocent gender-confused offspring, Glen/da, and hit Hollywood, where a movie depicting the killer dolls' murder spree is underway."
Edited for clarity.

Thursday... Funny, that almost rhymes with Bride...
Let's #Kissmatewatches Bride of Chucky, dir by Ronny Yu! This is the first of a film duo that went for a more comedic horror genre than just thriller. Not a bad thing, but it does affect how one watches them. Now, instead of talking about how therapy would fix these issues, it's more "would a banana peel make this work better?"

I finished Child's Play 1 & 2 earlier this week, I don't see why not continue the fun today! Today, we'll be #Kissmatewatches-ing Child's Play 3, dir by Jack Bender.
This one takes place in a military school, cause nothing's scarier than authoritarian bureaucracy! "The tortured spirit of Chucky rises again to seek revenge on the boy who killed him eight years ago, the now teenaged Andy Barclay."

Since Child's Play has been taking up residence in my head, I figured I'd keep the #Kissmatewatches Ball rolling and tackle Child's Play 2 (dir by Jon Lafia)! I remember this one starting off with Andy in foster care because his mother was committed for believing his "killer doll" story.
So much for the two cops who also saw Chucky. ACAB!

Let's have a nice Friday #KissmateWatches! I've been feeling up to a good scare, so we'll be popping in Child's Play (1988) directed by Tom Holland.
Yes, the old Chucky doll movie!
No, not the shitty "remake". This is such a good Horror/Slasher classic! However, not everything holds up to today's critiques. Will Chucky be binned, or will he be our friend til the end? Let's Find Out!!

We're having a hell of a day over here, so let's take it all slow with a daytime #KissmateWatches!
Since Netflix keeps shoving it in our faces, we'll be taking a look at Easy A (2021) directed by Will Gluck. A Summary:
A clean-cut high school student relies on the school's rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.
I've also heard something about those rumors including having sex, so warnings as needed for that, I guess.

Good Evening, Everyone! I figure I'm overdue for a #Kissmatewatches, so let's get one started with Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)!

I first saw the announcement and was excited!
Then the first trailer came out.
After the BLOW-UP of hatred, they fixed Sonic.
I've heard nothing since. I'm no stranger to Sonic, nor his fans. I've seen some of the best of this hero. And I've seen the worst, too. Maybe this won't be so bad?

It's got Jim Carry in it? Oh, that's... Um... Hmm.

Good Evening, All! I feel like a topical #Kissmatewatches would be best tonight! So get out your holographic goggles and shotguns with LEDs taped to the sides, we're tackling a "CyberPunk" movie! Tonight is going to be "Gamer" (2009) dir by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Convicts and poorer people have a mental implant where other people can control them like a character in a game. Simon has to control his man through 30 victories in a """Video Game""" to set him free.

Good Evening, Followers! Tonight, as a little treat, I will be #Kissmatewatches-ing a little diddy called "Happiest Season" starring KStew.

I've heard good, bad, and ugly about this, so I'm excited to give this a try! And a little worried. Lot worried. A warning to heed: There is homophobia via the family. And it's about surviving them through the holidays. This will be my only tag for this, since it's going to be inescapable.

We're starting early with #Kissmatewatches today. We'll be tackling Hercules again, episodes 7, 8, and 9 of season one.
No time like the present, so let's get started! #Kissmatewatches Herc Episode Seven: Pride Comes Before a Brawl
This episode is mostly about Iolaus proving to himself that he's a good and useful man, even without Herc. There's some men that are pretending to be satyrs (badly), and we meet Nemesis.

After a weekend of self-care and proper adulting, I think I'm ready for another small night of #Kissmatewatches! We'll finish off the two Hercs I wasn't able to get to last time and see how they fare! #Kissmatewatches Hercules Episode 5: Ares
Ares forms a gang of boys to terrorize the area. Hercules manages to kill the avatar of Ares and tell the boys to go home and think about what they've done.
