I hope this Christmas allows you a period of connection and rejuvenation, and ample preparation for the inevitable upcoming shirtless fist fight on top of the Millennium Tower.

My manga format preference: Hardcover > Larger Page Size > 2-in-1 > Singles > 3-in-1. This is true of other comics too, but the publishing formats of manga make the rules easier to define. I'll always preference hardcover binding over anything, and then largest page size.

Alright, I DID play a bunch of newish games in 2025

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them. Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

[seeing Honkai Star Rail for the first time] Wai this isn’t about a little goose who’s a conductor on a space train?

A new thing to add to the pile of things to handle with tongs from the mind of Chris Avellone alongside Planescape Torment's (originally Late Rites) review document sent to journos prior to release in 1999. Never been able to look at PST the same way since I first shared bits from it last year.

December 20th is DePiglio day

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Yakuza 0 is the heartwarming tale of two kindred spirits of opposing auras who play minigames all over town with various local women, then watch their softcore porn videos after helping them in their everyday life.

all the articles you read about this will say it "would charge doctors" but there is nothing in the bill limiting the felony crime to medical providers. you could write "would charge parents" and be just as correct. news outlets downplay it because news outlets are transphobic.

Steam Year in Review

Silksong is already a sumptuous feast. If they continue with DLC on the level they did with HK, it will end up being too delicious. People will get trapped in there. We'll have to send out search parties across Pharloom.

SOMA is one of the best science fiction video game stories I've ever played AND you can turn off monster deaths if it's too scawwy (it was too scawwy for me I'm a big baby I did, in fact, turn off the monster deaths)

I'm so lucky to have Teeng in my life. She's a miracle.

don't tell anyone but motion smoothing on my television makes me way less queasy during action films

Yeah I'm into NASCAR Never A Stop Comic A Reading

We live in The Bush and every year we have the pest people come and de-spider, de-wasp, and de-ant our place. Bug Remover Mark always says "don't clean any cobwebs for at least the next week, so that the poison works," and I never clean cobwebs so it's fine.

Everyone under age 16 in Australia just got this notification from YouTube. Everyone under 16 will no longer be able to sign-in, block channels, disable ads, or browse anything other than the default algorithm moving forward. Brain dead decision-makers.

if you're at home, and you bought the soy sauce, you're allowed to take a tiny little sip of soy sauce. it's your soy sauce, no one is allowed to be mad at you

Like a decade ago I decided to sit down and do a trans reading of the entire manga series trying to prove just that point. Totally forgetting how one of the last few chapters just straight up ends with this panel. wirewitchviolet.tumblr.com/post/1754647... I worked on this story for years, etc.

prepping for cyber monday like

i am owed a limited edition hatsune miku PSP by this administration

My "Oh, so you read 'Graphic Novels'?" section has: Lucy Knisley, Alison Bechdel, Simon Hanselmann, Charles Burns, Joe Sacco, Daniel Clowes, Junko Mizuno, Katie Skelly, and Nina Bunjevac. "Youths in Trouble" section: Shuzo Oshimi, Kaori Ozaki, and Ryo Minenami. (Inio Asano has his own section.)

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Elmer Fudd is in bed with a beautiful woman, but she's sad. She says she feels all alone in the world. Elmer says, "The treatment is simple. The great bunny Bugs is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." And the woman bursts into tears. Says, "But Elmer...I am Bugs Bunny."

Might as well update folks: I'm in weekly neuro rehab, physical rehab, and a regular physio. The encephalitis recovery has left me with an annoying stutter, plus about 1hr a day of communicating ability before I feel like I'm underwater. Some things are getting better though! I can read more!

I say this with love and respect for the difficulties of being a journalist in this current moment, but I'm gonna need my colleagues who still use that place to seriously SERIOUSLY interrogate why and what you're enabling with your continued presence.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Teeng made me 50 shelf labels for our library, as a birthday present 🥰

Lara don't do it

Our dear friend has a terrifyingly large vet bill to handle. If you can help out, here's the link: gofund.me/e626d6621

This is the most Australian thing I have seen all week and it's a mood

Hearing about the Takarazuka Revue's stage musical adaptation of The Poe Clan has us in the mood to reread Moto Hagio's classic manga! Thanks for the scoop, Anime News Network ❤️ https://ow.ly/4ToB50Xt5YP

fellas the only way to know for sure that a girl is into you is if she uses this gif. if she doesn't use this gif you can't be sure

whenever my wife has a big lunch her patients congratulate her on her pregnancy and she has to smash their nose into their skull with the base of her palm this happens so freaking often

I'm suffering in a void of pastrylessness 😔

I posted my comics collection on reddit, and the comments have been pretty fun. www.reddit.com/r/MangaColle...

1000x Resist just came out on PS5, and so far it's very Brave New World. Very cool.

I need some horror game recomendations. I like atmosphere. I'm not big on puzzles. Combat I can take or leave. Games I had a great time with: Still Wakes the Deep Alan Wake 2 Soma Maid of Sker

How many slurs is too many, you ask?

Look who arrived today! 💖

You're literally breaking my heart, AusPost. I'm supposed to get through today knowing that this is a lie, and I won't be holding my anime figure until *maybe* tomorrow? Wtf.

it's called anime because you'll have anime-zing time

Fart is making a comeback — as a shit

💖It's a morally good thing to seek out new music. 💖Capitalism wants us to associate self worth with capital, and giving money to people in our lives, and asking for monetary help from people, are important steps to breaking free from that idea. 💖Get uncomfortable to ease the suffering of others.

I decided to watch some King of the Hill because I've never seen it before, but all I can hear is Rick Kruger, and I think I might be the only person in the world to have this problem.
