just finished playing Harvester for the first time and its firmly in my absolute favorites now. Absolute sucker for so much of what its doing within the aesthetic space of the Weird American Small Town which is a well worn territory but I think Harvester makes it own space in it. One of a kind

6/26 (December 28, 1951)

For my stream anniversary on the 10th imma just do a big doodle stream and potentially some games with viewers ! Not sure what yet but also wanted to say that for the holiday season (November/December) I’m going to fundraise for the local animal shelter I think ! 💕

BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA (1952)

what romancing saga and battle garegga demonstrate is that if you take a normal videogame and attach it to a black box that you must appease with mysterious rituals or else it kills you, you are left with a masterpiece

4/26 (December 25, 1951) oh right, guess I should mention the translation of this is from yours truly if that wasn't clear lol

3/26 (December 24, 1951)

pretty boring (positive) lovely original song, useless idiot protagonist, barely over an hour long

this is what being serious about movies looks like (these are the same movie)

holy shit guys, Ben X-Men died

2/26 (December 21, 1951) Of course, beyond Doraemon, the two behind the Fujiko Fujio name would give us a garden of classics like Q-Taro, Ninja Hattori, Time Patrol Bon, and The Laughing Salesman. But here, they were just two young high schoolers trying to break into the manga world!

had a dream people kept coming up to tell me “Ben X-Men died”

Little Tama's an Angel (Tenshi no Tama-chan) by Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko, originally published in the Mainichi Shougakusei newspaper 1/26 (December 16, 1951) This is the debut work of the duo known as Fujiko Fujio, who would go on to be responsible for Doraemon! Tune in tomorrow for more~

as someone who’s never been a Chris Stuckman fan i’m weirdly all in on Shelby Oaks i’m SO ready to get Stuckmanized

this is nice to see at least

Hey! Starting tomorrow I'll be posting a strip a day of the 1951 manga, Tenshi no Tama-chan by Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko. But you probably know them by a different name: Fujiko Fujio! That's right, it's obscure debut from the name that would bring the world Doraemon! hope you like it~

Hotel Barcelona using AI for pieces of its like VHS style cutscene things is the most disappointing shit in the world to me. Deadly Premonition really was a fluke huh?

old post! on an obscure pc-88 adventure game, the horror and beauty of the boring, and what exactly it means for a game to be "good". I'm of course talking about my beloved Mirrors! Give it a read!

the sound it makes in Air Combat when you buy a plane and you watch your money decrease is like a horror sting

I’d like to apologize to all the F3Akes out there but the universe got in the way of us beating that damn game ONCE AGAIN but if anything that has only increased our resolve. It WILL happen we WILL beat F3AR

Deus Ex Remaster looks like dogshit

so...I guess now is a good time to read my post about one of my favorite games ever, Banshee's Last Cry????? The essay also does a very good job at capturing what my brain feels like seeing this game in Street Fighter lmao

Join me for one of the games ever made

Time for Suffering! F.3.A.R Co-Op campaign with the homie! @sethamphetamine.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/juuuustnick

been getting really into this “Goku” guy recently

finished Stephen Kings The Dead Zone and it’s easily like my 2nd favorite King novel (Wizard & Glass 1st) it’s a perfect book for a specific kind of King Sicko because it’s made up of pretty much entirely digression and divergence

Jon Baken of George & Jonathan has a game coming. You're going to want to watch for it store.steampowered.com/app/3646020/...

people call it “cope” but it’s true that the way you know Silent Hill F probably fucks (outside of being written by one of our greatest living writers) is that the combat is “bad”

Join me and my good buddy for a FULL playthrough of F3AR a game that is real and can hurt you

New week, new schedule! We are starting Silent Hill f this week and probably playing it most of the week! Wednesday we might be playing through all of F3AR's Co-op campaign with @sethamphetamine.bsky.social if things workout as planned but if not we will just do more SHF! Be there or be square!!

SD Twin Peaks figures made for an issue of Hobby Japan (issue unknown, but safe to say early 90s). Not my scan, so I gotta track down this issue.

Also of course wrote a tiny bit about the film over at the blog, so go over there too!

New translation! The movie that shocked a young Hirokazu Kore-eda and has followed him his entire career...from the director of Dream Island Girl and Utopiano, Shoichiro Sasaki, I'm happy to share English subs for the gentle masterpiece that is "The Flow of a River, the Sound of a Violin" Enjoy!!

We are finishing The Evil Within today if its the last thing I do! www.twitch.tv/juuuustnick

We're finally doing it! We're covering a book I've wanted to talk about since we started the show! It's time for Speaker for the Dead!! We also discuss such topics as Wreb, Castle Freak, and XKCD! sites.libsyn.com/485343/episo...

Incredible episode! We talk about: Red Hood #1 (great!) Absolute Batman #12 (great!) Kryptonite Spectrum #2 (great!) Racer X #1 (huff) And Wes Craig’s Kaya vol 1 for our book club (I’ve prayed for books like this)!

New schedule! Silent Hill 𝑓 comes out the week after next and I think I am just going to say F it & foot the bill for the early access version. So we are going to double possibly even triple up on The Evil Within this week so it is finished off. See y'all there!

We asked and Chicoblue from the discord delivered. We present this for you to witness:

the Tsui no Sora fan port and translation came out today and i’m like itching to read that shit. if i wasn’t busy today it would be how id have spent most of my day. I booted it for like 20 minutes and immediately felt the need to live in its headspace for a couple dozen hours

V for Vendetta is nice because it doesn't pretend vendetta is the only word that starts with V and actually tells you about a bunch of the others

toko fukawa

I’ve only gotten to watch the first 2 of these but if youre in the mood for a series of 60-80 minute found footage flicks i would highly recommend these. those first 2 are pretty rock solid spooky pictures

You've failed me Bluesky, but I still love you. If you are new to the Blackwell Ghost series and want to support microbudget horror filmmaking at a grassroots level, you can watch these on Vimeo and support Turner directly. These silly little movies are a lot of good old fashioned found footage fun!

New post! The Summer of the Ubume is a titanic work of Japanese mystery fiction, a horror-soaked loosening of reality wrapped up in locked rooms and impossible pregnancies. Read my thoughts about it — and the cruel truth of all mysteries — here!

this is soft, dude. this is really, really soft. a few years back, Frank Tieri threatened another critic and myself with violence, directly, at a comic-con over Batman opinions. That dude kept his job. He slid into my DMs with a fake apology. C. Kirk called for extermination. A joke didn't kill him.

it bums me out so much that a large part of the conversation surrounding hideaki anno online seem to dwell forever in only a couple of aspects of his very complex body of work in favor of promoting this image of a now older man jaded by the industry condemned to "play with his toys"
