A very hard-fought gatcha win for this turd-nugget

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

cis people, you have to show up. right now. we do not have the numbers, but you do. we are talking about suicide. that's what this headline is. taking away HRT will increase trans suicides. i and so many others are dead without it. don't let us die without trying to keep us alive. call, please.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

THERE IS A FELLOW GAIJIN PLAYING HADES 2 ON HIS SWITCH 2 ON THE SUBWAY I want to hug him

It’s nearly 1 am in Japan, and Hades II comes out in 10 minutes. I need the internet to acknowledge my strength in going to bed and not showing up to work having played Hades II all night.

The new Chainsaw Man movie is fantastic. Music, writing, animation, all of it. Long live Chainsaw Man.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

I wrote the theme for this show and I’m so excited for it, it’s gonna be so good

Jerry from Ben & Jerry's has resigned after 47 years after Unilever silenced their politcal activism.

Chiitan is braver, more compassionate, and more principled than most US politicians.

It feels like Oda was thinking about Palestine when drawing this week’s One Piece.

Time to break out the chart

This, and also: notice the One Piece flag dead center in one of these photos.

The hype is off the charts

It’s very surreal to watch those Capcom announcements cap the Nintendo Direct and be like, “Ah yes, my employer. I start there on Tuesday.”

FIRE EMBLEM AHHHHH

HAHAHAHAHAHA VIRTUAL BOY?!! Is @heathercampbell.bsky.social okay?

NO AGE OF IMPRISONMENT CAN’T COME OUT NOV 6 I’ll still be playing Hades 2 and Pokémon and Katamari and FF Tactics and everything else coming out in October

SORRY FINAL FANTASY TACTICS AND MY JOB IT’S HADES 2 TIME

I have never played a Super Mario Galaxy game. I’m very excited, as long as it’s not weirdly expensive. Which it probably will be.

The new Trillion Game movie released on DVD in Japan Friday! Congrats to the whole team! I’m … uh … in it. Briefly.

I was trying to remember when Melissa Hortman was assassinated. So I Googled it. This is what I saw. Utter madness.

Talked to a few Chicagoans about bailing on Spotify

Today in Osaka, I went to the gynecologist and paid ¥2000 ($13.50). Then my partner when to the orthopedic clinic, where he got several x-rays. They charged him ¥3000 ($20). We’re on the national health care plan, which costs ¥5000 for both of us combined, monthly ($34). WHAT.

Our Flag Means Death

Some thoughts about the Great Khan heading into Chicagoland's big Reverse Fort Sumter weekend.

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

Some choice selections from the “mangaka message board” at the Osaka Expo

Pritzker rules

I saw Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. It was good. Did it drag at the end? Sure. Was the Nanba Toho IMAX operating at a sound level which I’m genuinely surprised is legal? Sure. But it was pretty and it was good and the swords went swish-swish.

What… what do I do with this information

HOW WHAT WHY

Oh god, my three most anticipated games of the year are FF Tactics, Pokémon, and Katamari, and those all come out within a month of each other huh. Honorable mention to Ghost of Yotei, which I won’t have time for, but “lady samurai with shamisen” is pure Kirsten bait.
