I don't *think* I've remarked on this before here but it's funny that the 'death of the author' was coined as a theory about how things are but is now treated as an approach, while the 'auteur policy' was coined as an approach but is now treated as a theory.

Good night, and good luck.

I've slowly been working on series of article tracing the history of Heavy Gear, the VOTOMS-influenced tabletop game that arrived in 1995 and still exists today. The game's origins lay with a couple of early anime magazines, Protoculture Addicts and Mecha Press. www.zimmerit.moe/protoculture...

Just got to witness DUEL TO THE DEATH (1983). You should also watch DUEL TO THE DEATH (1983). They set out to make a chanbara movie and a wuxia movie simultaneously and crash those things together at high-speed, and they succeeded tremendously. Just sort of cackling in awe every few minutes

Started Heavy Metal L-Gaim and so far I’m loving it. I’m all for how the show introduces a character that’ll appear in the next episode.

Okay, second day of brutal commute.

Old art for Vermilion Hope: Ideation for basic Nibiru units. The taller advanced type starts appearing late in the war, as the Nibiru begin adapting to fighting against TAC ARMs. #art #sketch #mecha

I know other parts of the world have had it for a good while, but mobile data on the underground feels like a magic trick.

Brain Powerd Part 1 is on its way to the feed right now! We are hanging phallically out of our womb cockpits, bidding you to hold our hands and talk about the villainy of parentage and climate change and how those are actually not different! Spooky!!! osgpod.com/posts/2026-0...

Okay, 'Northwestern University' is not where I thought it'd be from the name. You got me there.

Long commute two days in a row this week. Will be rough.

Mecha protagonists looooove saying shit like this and they’re always right

Rainbow Fireflies: An Eternal Summer Vacation (Niji-iro Hotaru: Eien no Natsuyasumi), dir. Kounosuke Uda, Toei, 2012: "Whether it be people or objects, everyone and everything has an end. This is something that we just cannot change. Even so, time flows on."

It’s actually pretty easy to beat Isaac Chotiner if you know what to do (wait until he completes his third attack sequence, roll behind him, use Flame Dart until you’re out of mana, hide under the gargoyle head until his Rage Wing Spin finishes, stun him with a Sylvan Dagger, equip the Thallslayer w

Scrambled eggs for a quick cheap lunch.

Very funny bit in the Old English Judith when Holofernes's men come to wake him up but are afraid to go into his tent, so they hang around outside it clearing their throats, not knowing that Judith has already beheaded him and scarpered.
