Dismember November: More Uni Woes N Shit

I really don’t like having to write posts like this.

No matter if i can stick in a Hololive meme for confusion’s sake, because i have yet again (feeling very Bernie Sanders-y) to cut down on posting, had to think about it but i need to focus on thesis stuff, i really need to.

So that means that while October schedule (already in place months ago) will go on as planned, i will have to basically halve the full lenght reviews for November, and i will be taking a break the first week of Dicember, to ensure good ol’ 12 Days Of Dino Dicember will happen as always, that one won’t be affected.

The January winter hiatus will happen as usual, meaning from January 7 to January 14 the blog will go on a break/pause, resuming on the 15th.

Down With The Sickness (& Flood)

Sorry for EXPRESSO reviews being scarcer than usual these weeks, i have been sick, plus in my region there had been floods (i’m fine), so for a couple days schools and most shops (including cinemas) closed, but it was brief, so i’m gonna try to catch up to the latest releases in cinema here, and i will be dipping in Netflix’s catalogue as well, though some EXPRESSO reviews are gonna be delayed a bit anyway (like the one for Oz Perkins’ The Monkey), and i wanted to also review some gachas like Girls Frontline 2, but i had technical issues, not much time for that anwyay, and the PC release was confusing, so i dunno. Maybe, maybe not.

This ain’t gonna affect Giant Monster March full lenght pieces, the next one is releasing in a couple of days as planned.

The January Uni Break und The Mini Rewritecalypse

As previously announced, i’m gonna take a break because i’m busy beyond belief with universital woes and such things, so from today until the 19th of January, full lenght reviews are gonna be a no show, and – again, as i previously promised – to avoid stretching the hiatus further i will be doing rewrites of some older reviews stuck on old italian blogs that could use a do over.

EXPRESSO reviews will come out as usual.

From February we’ll resume with the regular schedule.

Pulling Out, The Early Dicember Academic Break and The January Void (not part of the Wizarding World)

So, i had a rewritten/revised/expanded review of the GITS Stand Alone Complex PSP game ready for the next weekly review (which would have dropped today) … but then i remembered there’s a new Ghost In The Shell anime in the work by Science Saru coming in 2026, so there’s an idea for a GITS retrospective, maybe not as comprehensive i’d wish, but we’ll see.

Hence that review will be “hoarded” and i will release two EXPRESSO reviews of the Metal Slug spin-offs most recent releases, upon which i had been sitting for some months because i couldn’t find the right timing. … this ain’t it, but you’ll get both, so rejoice.

You’ll also get the EXPRESSO review for The Gladiator 2, i had setbacks but i plan to see it ASAP.

On a more christmas-y note, due to academic woes and other IRL stuff i won’t disclose, i will be taking off the first 2 weeks of December, resume on the 15th with a review of some garbage trash movie, another full review a week later, then on the 25th until we’ll kick off this year’s 12 Days Of Dino Dicember, ending on January 6th, after which there won’t be any full review until February, due to similar issues.

I might search in my backlog and see if there’s some rewrites to be done as i would like to bring over here my full catalogue, but i don’t want to simply translate into english my ol’ crap, it’s boring for me as well. We’ll see.

Technical Difficulties

Having a lot of issues with the PC i can’t no longer ignore because i can barely use it.

I’ll try to fix in a matter of days or see if i can post via the smartphone WordPress app, even though i lack stuff i can only access on PC. Maybe i’ll post some of the EXPRESSO reviews i have been holding on in the meantime.

Hope to fix it soon. we’ll see.

Super Summer Hiatus: Triple Deluxe

So, the summer hiatus for the blog starts today, but due to university woes and cramming exams, i will be taking a couple of extra weeks off, so we’ll resume on the 15th of September instead of the 1st, and as a form of “compensation” we’ll have a review up every 3 days instead of weekly.

As usual, the hiatus will not apply for the EXPRESSO rubric.

Happy holidays!

Early April Hiatus + Musou May Swapparoni

As mentioned at the start of this year’s Giant Monster March, i’m gonna take a break of two week starting from early April for educational reasons (uni and related stuff), and will resume on the 15th of April with my reviews of the last (and i assume final) batch of DLC contents for Pirate Warriors 4 and maybe a Ghostbusters related thingie.

As usual, during the break EXPRESSO reviews might still come about, and to a certain extent will.

ALSO, might as well put out that there won’t be Musou May this year, for schedule and reality reasons, but there will be Melee May instead, as look as various beat ‘em ups/hack n slash games that aren’t musou or musou-like, for a change.
