The Boy and The Heron. It's not one I can watch often because it hits really close to home in a number of ways, but my God, what a masterpiece of a film.

I 100% thought this was Viggo Mortensen.

On a much lighter note, I wonder if there are any game stores out there with heavy tabletop gaming communities that offer locker rentals, where folks could store their minis throughout the week instead of dragging them back and forth from home.

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

Not even a calendar year into the term.

I just crumbled to dust.

I was wondering why my YouTube home page was suddenly filled with videos about guns, Theo Von, Joe Rogan, true crime and pseudo-conspiracy videos, and then I realized I'd been signed out. So, that's what YouTube just serves up to you if it doesn't have any previous viewing habits to go off of.

And now apparently Battletech has a solo/co-op version?? Why is this holiday season so full of tabletop temptations???

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

I'm having trouble come up with a "favorite," but I will say that looking through the replies has made me authentically really sad. God, the things we've lost.

Name three comics you've owned in at least three editions Dragon Ball (Viz [DBZ only], Viz 3-in-1, Full Color [JP], Perfect Editions [JP]) Batman: Year One (1988 TPB, 2005 HC, Absolute Edition, Artist Edition) Lee/Ditko Amazing Spider-Man (Essentials, Omnibuses, Taschen, original issues)

I just saw someone say Nightwing is a 1 out of 10 comic character, and like...it is too early in the morning.

I produced more comic pages than I have in the past five years combined.

Cool.

This Christmas I've been made acutely aware of how badly my gaming skills have atrophied. I was never Daigo, but I was certainly better than this.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

In a similar vein to my Warhammer post, I picked this up for cheap recently. After 30 years, I’m determined to finally learn how to play this game.

Made the mistake of finally watching a video about Warhammer, so now I've gotta spend the next 4-5 days fighting the urge to get into a game I don't have the time for, know anyone else who plays, and cannot afford.

And this is how I realized that come May, it will be 20 years since I graduated high school.

I guess my question is: at what point did we stop telling scary ghost stories as a Christmas tradition? Because there's no way someone just made that up and tossed that into a song.

If you've never heard Smokey & The Miracles' Deck The Halls/Bring A Torch, Isabella medley, I highly recommend checking it out.

I dunno, I'm not crazy about it but RDJ as Doom still feels like a more egregious admission of desperation.

Very grateful for all the orders I've shipped that have been delivered. Very stressed about all the orders that are in the "Moving Through Network/In Transit, Arrive Late" purgatory.

It’s truly embarrassing how bad I am at holding onto gifts until the big date. The minute that gift is in my hands, I’m going to try to give it to you.

I worry it sounds ungrateful, but when a store offers to "gift wrap" something for you and just slaps a ribbon and bow on the item, it feels a little disingenuous.

I try not to get too parasocial but I've been seeing headlines that Bill Hader had a tense interaction with Nick Reiner before he left Conan's party and as he's someone who famously struggles with anxiety, I'm deeply hoping that Hader is not somewhere thinking he's responsible for Rob Reiner's death

Romita, Jr.--my all-time favorite--is open for commissions to be picked up at a convention in Albuquerque, NM on my birthday. If freakin' only.

I finally shipped out the remaining outstanding orders I had in my shop--the only exceptions being those who specified Christmas delivery was unnecessary. Sale goes until 2026, though, so there's still plenty of time to get some cool stuff at heavy discount (code SAVE50 for merch, SAVE30 for OA)

Sivana + Captain Marvel, 2025

This post is how I learned my wife has never heard of this song. Did "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" never make it to Canada? Did it hit too close to home??

Grifter + Zealot, 2025

Sandman + Dian Belmont, 2025

Another commission. Detective Chimp, 2025

Here's a commission I can now share. Booster Gold + Blue Beetle, 2025

Here's a commission I can now share. Booster Gold + Blue Beetle, 2025

It really says something that one of my first thoughts after hearing the news of Reiner’s murder was “what disgusting thing will our sitting president post about this” and hey look at that that wasn’t an unreasonable thought to have

Died? They were found stabbed to death. What the fuck is this headline

Today marks seven years since my best friend died. It sucks.

The Cubs broke their World Series curse on Nov. 1, 2015 and Trump was elected to his first term days later. I’m just saying, they didn’t break their curse but transposed it onto America as a whole. And that’s one of the reasons the Cubs fucking suck.

David Ellison is the spitting image of someone whose "friends" only hang out with him because he's got a crazy rich dad. Hell, he's the spitting image of someone who's aware of that and thinks That's Good, Actually.

There are worse things in life, but man it's a bummer when you bust your butt working all day long and look back to realize you only got about half as much done as you thought you had.

Today I learned that a) Julia Louis-Dreyfus has a podcast and b) her upcoming guest is Jane Curtin It's like the literal inverse of Jimmy Fallon interviewing the OpenAI guy.

Jimmy Fallon really is just the worst. God, that guy sucks.

Not only is Delirium a hard character to draw, but she's also a very hard character to color.

I don't really know how best to describe this, but I miss the days when merch for nerdy stuff--or nerdy stuff itself--felt like it was designed by enthusiastic hobbyists. I guess the best example would be the art for Magic cards from the first decade compared to Magic cards from the last decade.
