What’s good? I’m JB.
Welcome to the site. I have a lot of thoughts about things, and sometimes I write those thoughts down. Recently, I’ve realized that writing isn’t just how I connect to other people, but it’s how I come to understand my own feelings about a subject. Writing is how I make sense of the world, to the extent that it can be understood.
For a frame of reference, here are some arbitrary top fives:
Games
1. Metroid Prime
2. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
3. Resident Evil 4
4. Final Fantasy VI
5. Elden Ring

Movies
1. Pan’s Labyrinth
2. The Silence of the Lambs
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
4. Children of Men
5. Parasite

Manga
1. Vinland Saga
2. Fullmetal Alchemist
3. Berserk
4. Monster
5. Slam Dunk
