Self portrait, 2023

The proximity of the S and A keys mean that half the time when I'm trying to navigate to this site I accidentally wind up at the Baki the Grappler wiki. And before i know it Im learning about Pickle

Sengoku TURB is a game designed to flash-fry a certain kind of person's brain if it hits them at the right time in their neurological development. If it ever gets an english translation it will trigger the belated cultural renaissance it deserves

When Etrigan shows up in a comic where you weren't expecting him it's like finding a 20 dollar bill on the sidewalk

Have any Overwatch characters died yet

"A movie for the fans" I call bullshit. Real Mario fans don't play Mario games, they post about how Nintendo needs to bring back Captain Syrup after auto-Ludovico-ing themselves into thinking she's an actual character using decades of poorly-drawn hentai

Posting this again because I forgot the hyphen in the ko-fi link, baaaah www.ko-fi.com/zodacoo Throw a girl a bone!

Thinking about a different dude on the same forum who claimed that characters stopped blowing up the moon after the Saiyan Saga in Dragonball "so Toei could save their animation budget." A window into a fascinating vision of the world

EMERGENCY please share widely!! we're a trans couple who have had really bad luck with housing the last couple years and need to find a place by April 1st, it would be a true miracle if we can just find a place. WE ARE WILLING TO PAY!! spinnylights.net/hyper_alert/

Since SOTN is technically a 3D game where all of the sprites are polygonal quads on a single z-depth, Alucard could beat any enemy in a 3D castlevania by back dashing into them and bisecting them with the monomolecular edge of his ass

This might be sacrilege but Quake with a third person camera using chase_active 1 chase_back 60 chase_up 30 fov 110... might rip. Occasional "reticle snapping" and level design needs to accommodate it a bit, but handles surprisingly well. All that peripheral vision makes Vores way less threatening

CHAINSAW MAN PART II (2022): One day, a fire broke out in the house of a wealthy mangaka who had many readers. The wealthy man shouted at the readers to flee the burning house. But the readers were absorbed in their powerscaling and did not heed his warning, though the house was burning down.

Set three pigs labelled Undertale 3 Undertale 3 and Undertale 3 loose on campus. Campus police caught all of them. Nobody was really sure of anything

If you grade them using the true metric, RE6 is the best one and RE9 is one of the worst. Said metric is "number of unique freaks in bestiary"

Make the park from Illbleed real. Full $77bn will be necessary for legal settlements since the employees and attractions WILL try to kill all guests

I think you can trust audiences with more than you'd think. Problem-solving, logical deduction, sitting with ambiguity/frustration. Reddit's full of intransigent dipshits but I think even they can come around once they've worked the colic out of their system. Smarter work trains smarter audiences

Even if the contrast between active elements (NPCs, interactables) & supporting elements (level geometry) was borne of hardware limitations, it is important to the visual legibility of 3D games as the painted lines on a basketball court. You draw the eye by varying the density of detail & movement!

Something art mentor of mine taught me: save your finest detail & rendering for the focal point, the place you wanted to lure the eye first. Then have that detail drop off & become ambiguous in other areas. Emulates the brain's visual processing, creates a hierarchy of form in the piece. Just Sayin'

Found out there is a place nearby that cooks Curry Udon. My old mainstay closed during covid. It's about time...

i booked a same-day flight to florence yesterday to be with my mom after she had a life-threatening heart event. she is very sick and remains in the ICU, and we were not prepared for anything like this. any shares and donations are so appreciated, thank you ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I know one of my types is Dragon but I need help figuring out the other one

Found the perfect track to play on the commute to and from the girls' place. Fits to the minute. Harmonic accompaniment at 1:40 kicks in when I hit freeway speeds on the way over; the one at 10:02 does the same thing on the way back. Treating myself to a little slice of the sublime

Mostly thought Chainsaw Man Part 2 was kind of ass -- tossed out any kind of narrative or emotional weight in favor of a marathon game of Calvinball -- but man that latest chapter might have me back onboard. You don't get off the wheel til you get it, baby! It all comes back to Devilman babyyyy

Aud's been describing the grueling process of reading MELMOTH THE WANDERER (MATURIN, 1820). 600-page death march about evil immortal guy on a globetrotting adventure. Longwinded, campy, written by the seat of the author's pants, lots of specious trivia about the world outside of Ireland. Proto-JJBA

VIRICONIUM KNIGHTS (M. JOHN HARRISON, 1985) DEMON'S SOULS (HIDETAKA MIYAZAKI, 2009) DARK SOULS (HIDETAKA MIYAZAKI, 2011) DARK SOULS II (TOMOHIRO SHIBUYA, YUI TANIMURA, 2014) BLOODBORNE (HIDETAKA MIYAZAKI, 2015) DARK SOULS III (HIDETAKA MIYAZAKI, 2016) ELDEN RING (HIDETAKA MIYAZAKI, 2022)

Happy #Mar10 Day! When I was 7 my grandma got a flat of Mountain Dew while they were running a Star Wars Episode 1 promo. One of the cans had Jar Jar on it, my favorite character. Wasn't allowed to drink caffeine but wanted the Jar Jar soda so bad. Drank it in secret & got a migraine so bad I puked

ANGEL HEART (1987): Laughably unsubtle about its central twist but in a way that comes off more charming than annoying. Bimbo version of JACOB'S LADDER (1990)

A very dragonful stream today

its bandcamp friday! check out my album of modular ambient that "sounds like your brain is put in fizzy water (positive)" marigocchi.bandcamp.com/album/glassw...

Spent years working in the Giant Grub industry. Only as a hobbyist, raising my own smaller grubs, though I hear horror stories from peers tasked with feeding the big one. Lot of layoffs now that it has enough biomass to pupate. I hear its imago form won't have a mouth or an anus. Beautiful wings tho

GUNGAGE (PSX, 1999): Lots of 90s Konami vets on staff, RIP Curry Sage. Often derided for its controls, but I think they're mostly fine -- handles like an old Armored Core -- the stage & encounter design just chafes against their limitations in places. Otherwise inventive, stylish and breezy

In every age, in every place, there will always be a franchise whose primary export is fanart of colorful girls yelling at each other's boobs. Touhou, hololive, horse girls. Someday there will be another

BREAKING: We've freed Cookie. Following an investigation by VGHF, Ukie and Web Capio have suspended DMCA takedowns for Cookie's Bustle on behalf of Graceware, SL. More info:

When we were kids my sister found out about the song Dido - Hunter through a Tenchi Muyo Washu AMV that her weeb friend showed her. She didn't give a shit about Tenchi Muyo but really liked the song, so whenever she wanted to listen to it she'd boot up Quicktime and watch that Washu AMV again

Played a bunch of DEADLOCK yesterday. Not for me I think. "Your gun is your WC3 autoattack, and does chip damage; your cooldown abilities are what can carve visible chunks out of the enemy healthbar" hits me like petting a cat the wrong way, even if it's perfectly sensible design for this genre
