The Voyager refit went badly.

Even before the advent of generative AI, our media landscape was being slowly absorbed by robots and accountants. The result is a predictably boring slurry. Its time to seize the means of amusement. I'm going to get T-shirts made.

Whenever I listen to Zack Snyder talk I get the impression I'm listening to an above average 13 year old speaking with adults. A very talented but emotionally immature artist; like Fincher with arrested development.

This may be the most logical thing I've ever heard said about wrestling.

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.

Speaking of games that deserve a remake: Nightshade for NES. youtu.be/KiKA6vIrsHU?...

Good News: I'm not longer thinking about the imaginary Mortal Kombat game. Bad News: I'm now thinking about a wholly different imaginary project that's going to eat up valuable brain space.

Has anyone investigated the possibility that Wile E. Coyote lives in an are where localized physics are just randomly broken? Kinda like The Zone from Roadside Picnic somewhere in the Nevada desert? youtu.be/r2Z5L2jcpDc?...

I'm not sure where this "books should use smaller words" thing comes from, but it makes my skin crawl. Language is art, at least in prose, and art is more than functional. The entire point of art is that it moves beyond functionality into the place of inspiration and interpretation.

The annoyance I feel at ANOTHER inclusion of Deadpool is offset by what seems to be a bunch of Mortal Kombat jokes in his moveset. youtu.be/JjpJ2xwUagM?...

What....? WHAT...????? WHAAAAAAAATTT!!!????? youtu.be/HCSDzqqAH8A?...

I got that Absolute Bat-Mania at the moment, so I had to work my retro magic on that OG cover.🦇🪓

Look, I wanted to joke about this finally being the thing that broke Harada but all it really does is take the absurdity of the endings of Tekken and crank the volume up. youtu.be/t19-a0vxzW0?...

You know, you could all just NOT buy GTA6.

Epic thread.

I've been sober for 10 years, but I have dreams sometimes where I drink and wake up not remembering whether I lapsed or not. Eventually it sorts itself out in the waking world, but still...

They are really going for it here. I'm honestly kinda shocked.

- Why is the Enterprise doing a Groundhog Day? - Why is Riker hallucinating that he's an actor? - Why are Troi and Worf doing Soap Opera stuff?

This sounds like a head fake toward cautious optimism in the face of the inevitable.

Going to be at #CEO in August for @megaknockdown.com. Haven't done a show since before COVID and I've never done a gaming show, so I have no idea what to expect. Need to get prints made, need to do a few new pieces. I'm thinking of digging out these pieces, but I need some new stuff.

I just learned that DC are doing a Nightfall animated movie and I have two thoughts: 1) Sword of Azrael should be a DC animated movie. And 2) How are you going to do Nightfall without Sword of Azrael for the setup?

Hey @thorgisarcade.bsky.social, here's a really silly idea for an episode of Build The Roster. Seriously. I think I'm finally done with this now. I hope. #mortalkombat #fightinggames #fanart #cartoons #conceptart.

The Egon.

More of these, this time with one of the original characters from the cartoon, Zara. I have to add in some attack effects and augment the backgrounds with some detail. No idea why I'm sinking all the time and effort into this but it is fun. #mortalkombat #cartoon #fanart

For anybody who might be interested: Ive been mulling the prospect of fatalities in this MK project and I'm torn. On the one hand, the gore is why I don't like MK in general, on the other, it is integral to the nature of MK gameplay. So do I go full bore on them, hold back or something inbetween?

Hunker down and teach myself to code so I can make the game ideas I have in my head real. Also get my bearings and deal with layers of mental illness that are built up without the stress of working a 9 to 5 compounding it.

I'm starting to wonder how many of these things I can do before it turns into an actual pitch document. #mortalkombat #fanart #cartoon

Finally. ACTUAL gameplay. youtu.be/v5JrXqkM06E?...

One day someone will have to explain how Kenshiro keeps finding perfectly tailored leather biker jackets in the wasteland.

How did I never notice that Mortal Kombat doesnt have hit sparks before now?

Have spent too much time recently staring at footage of Mortal Kombat and I think I realized why MK1 kinda broke down, at least in presentation: Everything was too pretty. All the characters were too hot, but also the same kind of hot. There was no need to give us twink Reptile.

Mega Knockdown just hit 5000 wishlists!

Raiden artwork added. And yes, I am upset that I never got to hear Clancy Brown shout "ALIBABAYEAHH!" #Mortalkombat #fanart #cartoon

This #MortalKombat idea has its hooks in me. Maybe because its just easy to crank these things out. Not super into this version of Shao Kahn but his size and the cape does give him definite M. Bison vibes.

Your last saved image is your mental state.

Laucorn? Are we serious? youtu.be/AXg77Ltcbec?...

Now, THERE's a movie I could watch...

Hey @noobde.bsky.social, I always wanted to see a version of Mortal Kombat with hand drawn sprites. Since I doubt I ever will, I mocked up my own, with designs based on the Defenders of the Realm cartoon (because I'm old) and gameplay, theoretically, based on UMK3.

Post a cartoon you remember that nobody else remembers.

More from the Mortal Kombat mines. Today its Kitana and Asgaarth, one of the original characters from the cartoon. Because who doesn't want to play as a giant bird man voiced by John Rhys Davies?

All I can think to say about the Nintendo direct is that Sora has been upgraded to twink status.
