it turns out that Sword of Mana, the GBA remake of seiken densetsu 1, contains a fully functional 2-player coop mode, which was simply not made accessible by the developer. I have released a romhack to re-enable it github.com/illinx/Sword...

Damn that is one chonky boy.

He would be if only he’d show up for birthdays.

Seeing an actor leaking something and getting to keep their job: "lol cool" Seeing they also do work for Adventures in Odyssey: "lol coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool"

My first instinct was to troll out “They made an anime out of that great old PS1 game.”

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

While I’m looking forward to using my SnapMaker U1 when the replacement parts arrive, putting a capacitor directly under a screw hole and not warning against tightening said screw fully seems like a pretty glaring oversight. Surprised beta testers didn’t hit this.

It’s throwing me off that everyone in it is so hot though. Between Holly Hunter and Oded Fehr…

These releases really need to stop taking so long that I import the Japanese version while waiting for them.

So now it’s all Filoni Zone? @morecivilized.bsky.social

Peak @nigoki.bsky.social material here.

I heard you like these.

A perfect recap of 2025

And that finishes my 27th kit of the year. I might squeeze in one more before the end of the month if I can resist the urge to do anything more than panel lining.

G-Witch is 50% off (except for the bundle?) for a few more hours! I just found out!! store.crunchyroll.com/search?q=gun...

I’m really enjoying how the MGSD Aerial is coming together.

I’m once again delighted at how great the MGSD line is. That said, I still wish Bandai would put out some proper MG kits for anything newer than IBO.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

That was a hell of a thing.

Next build, let’s goooo!

Two days start to finish. That was a nice refresher after the last build.

Next project up, the Light-Type Guncannon from GQX. Going for my version of a basic build, snap build, with panel lining and when reasonable paint marker detailing instead of stickers.

Finished my HG Qubeley revive build last night. Feels like it took forever, but I’m pretty happy with the end results. Next painted kit should go much quicker. Maybe at some point I’ll even start trying some preshading.

I’m not sure if Gundam Age was trying to make this sign look like an HTTP error, but if so they could have at least gotten it right.

This is the first build I’ve fully painted since I got my new build space set up and made my airbrush booth more accessible. A bit of a learning curve at the start, but I’m fairly happy with how it’s turning out.

How does someone typo “they’re on something” that badly?

Can someone just do what I do to my kids when we’re in the toy aisle and tell them no? Please? Anyone?

Oh shit, I need to order that.

Post a movie where you are from.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

It may not have much else going for it, but Gundam AGE does have the best space suit helmets.

In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

Stumbled across this excellent documentary video this morning about the history of manga in the USA. It has some terrific interviews that are definitely worth the watch. youtu.be/W51QlQVWqwQ?...

The boss is calling you into work! If you're at Anime NJ, be at Panel 3 in ten minutes for Giant Robots at Work!

I’m pretty sure we have a specific word that describes that. Pretty sure we fought a war over it too.

Surely if we put enough money into horse breeding we’ll eventually end up with a unicorn.

My bigger issue at the moment is that I have 4 pills left and my pharmacy can’t seem to get more stock.

Feels good to finally get this out into the world after all our hard work.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

I have been excitedly anticipating the arrival of this kit. One of the first gunpla I ever built, well before I had even seen first Gundam, was an SD version.

No but think about it: without piracy there'd be no Crunchyroll and the industry would be in a much healthier place.

It’s even better when they don’t get appointed to the Supreme Court anyways.
