Character sheet

I gamified my opinions.

I wanted to be different, so I gamified my site and made it more confusing for readers. You're welcome.

Every title gets six stats and one score. The stats are how I see the media I scummed. The score is how much I loved it, and it is not an average of anything. And because I wanted a reason to AI-gen cool-looking animated class characters, every title also gets a class: the mood it fits.

Against all AI-generated material because it threatens your livelihood? It did mine too. I pivoted instead of being insufferable about it. So get comfy. You'll have to exit, or suck it up.

The quiz

I Couldn't Decide What to Watch, So a Couch Dad's Quiz Picked My Class

It hands you a class, a subclass and a pile of picks. Know what you want, or let it read your mood.

You scrolled all the way down here.

That makes you either my kind of person or someone looking for the search bar. Either way, you sat through the whole couch. The opinions were free. The coffee isn't.

Ava says: he means the token bill. Again.

Couch Dad's score

Waifu's score

Open the card

The score says how much I love it, the stats are here as an excuse to gamify the site. It may help you or confuse you. Either way, you're welcome.

Buy me a coffee

Everything here is one guy's opinion and a lot of late nights. If a review saved you two hours, or cost you two hours you enjoyed, the coffee goes toward the next one.
