Every time I revisit GITS 2: INNOCENCE it climbs another rung higher. "What if Altman's THE LONG GOODBYE was Y2K denpa?" is as laser-targeted to my taste in movies as Batou is to my taste in men Also enjoying its antithesis: the new adaptation. Colorful, pulpy, playful; GITS by way of Lupin III

Review number two! Dark Sea Silver - Audrey Stollings The tale of a down-on-her luck pirate drawn into the inescapable orbit of an ageless amoral queen, Audrey Stollings' Dark Sea Silver floored me from the first page with its luscious, overripe prose and hallucinogenic imagery. 7/?

The problem with drawing stupid huge boobs is that they look stupid. Body language & silhouette just kind of break. When I figure out how to draw stupid huge boobs smart it'll be like cold fusion

GUY WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE LYRICS TO The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up PLAYING DARK SOULS III: Ugh! They make the bosses in this so hard! And I've got work tomorrow morning... Three more attempts, then I gotta get ready for bed LATER, SCRAMBLING EGGS: Uh smack my bitch up/ Uhh cool my shit up

Playing AC6. Imagining Walter saying "Eyes up 621 -- that's Underfell Flowery" and getting chills. Not from the game but from the weird smell in my room that makes my teeth hurt

Sitting in the aisle at Barnes & Noble reading all of Preacher while my mom shops for clothes and this fuck always mean mugging me like

Where's the Flower Man version of Fingers In His Ass

Nothing like driving around Tacoma on the 4th with the windows down, sky fulminating and thick with the smell of cordite, Touhou Project music blasting. Horn section on Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome Kagome kicks in as a fire truck races through the intersection

Hello! Long time no see! A lot has happened this past month. Car accident, traveled to donate stem cells, came back to immediately get a new (to me) used car, attended my first film premiere as a character designer.

It is worth fighting the Hater's Impulse. To wrestle it down strengthens the soul, keeps the heart limber. It is the difficulty of this wrestling that makes it worthwhile. If you encounter, say, an excerpt from Dungeon Crawler Carl: stand wide and low, breath deep, trust the muscles of your core

SUPER SUDOKOID: FINAL TRANSMISSION (2026): My new favorite genre now has two entries (with a third on its way!). Challenging and took me a long time to get a 100% clear, but satisfying & intriguing throughout. Fun how well the "exploration-logic" of the metroidvania maps to sudoku

ME: I don't need to earn the right to be happy. Kindness isn't a transaction. Nobody's keeping score, least of all my friends. I can trust myself to do right by them? DARKNER CREATED FROM FRAMED ILLUSTRATION OF PERFECT ASS WITH BIRD PERCHED ON IT DRAWN BY KAORU MORI FOR FELLOWS MAGAZINE: THats right

GON: Woah, this card has 4500 attack power! I'm going to build my whole deck around it KILLUA: It doesn't have any card effects, dude! What if somebody activates a trap that keeps you from attacking? GON: Simple! I cry and throw the table at them

Alice & Ape III from Arm Wrestling (1985)

I went to Animal World and no one knew you. Come to Animal World with me I'll get you introduced. We'll sing a song about learning a lesson

ABSOLUTE BATMAN (2025): Virtuoso chuuni shit. What if the Batman rogues gallery looked all Guilty Gear, and they were in a story that matched the unencumbered exuberance of their designs? What if cape comics were for kids who put on Mars Volta songs and imagined brutal anime fights. Kids like me

NEW ARTICLE! "In The Copied Cathedral", my exploration of the Drakengard/NieR series, takes a side-step into the deceptively significant Grimoire Nier, an art/guidebook that represents the point in which the Yoko Taro Aesthetic coheres, for better or worse.

I've only experienced recognizing a new favorite song while I was listening to it a tiny handful of times in my life. Happened again this morning

Bestowing the highest honor I can think of on Deltarune: "worth trying to avoid spoilers and experiencing with fresh eyes'

For anyone interested in following along with the latest arc of the #hunterxhunter manga (Chapters 358-410+) but feeling a little overwhelmed by the scope, earlier I shared by Succession War Visual Guide - a spoiler-safe reading companion for tracking characters and alliances: tiny.cc/x5go001

Woke up to see the Barthes discourse. Had a coffee. Let's... just say I've got a lot of thoughts on the topic. rot13 under the cut for heavy shit, as well as spoilers for both TADC & SW:

🌊DARK SEA SILVER, our first ever novelette, has already inspired fan art of its mysterious protagonist, Lathra!⚔️ Check out Lathra & DARK SEA SILVER here 👉 newedgeswordandsorcery.com/product/dark...

Had two tiki drinks

I didn't watch the cartoon but I'm glad stimpy is getting therapy or whaterver

B426.3 Drawing of heavyset woman in ribbed sweater ends war.

Great stuff. Very excited that we're getting new chapters soon

At this point "Togashi has decided to retire and live out his remaining years with less chronic pain" would be a better conclusion to HxH than any ending he could write. That is a comic about getting out of the game before it destroys you

Hell yeah

DREAM: Found a happy hardcore/gabber track that youtube tried to automatically subtitle. Screen full of zalgo text and ASCII art of people getting slapped in the face, scrolling by at 180bpm. Top rated comment read: "0:10 falling in love 1:50 falling in sex 3:04 falling into poopworld"

I'm not allowed to armchairpost about game design until I have gameplay from Drakaina to show off

Your reward for exploring every corner of our challenging game & engaging with its mechanics is your choice of: 1. becoming so powerful that you no longer need to engage with 3/4 of the mechanics, and can bumble through on muscle memory 2. a bunch of toys you can't touch, for fear of option 1

One of my stronger and more specific contentions: If they ever made, like, a good Evangelion game, the Eva would handle like Lara in the original Tomb Raider games for the PSX. Using tank controls to line up jumps, sprints, somersaults like an artillery gunner

After many years of development, the Kowloon's Gate English Patch is now available.

If that news about Murcielago getting an anime adaptation is true, now's a good time to read it and have fun. Instead of experiencing it vicariously through very annoying arguments online

Marathon is really really cool and has a confidence in every element of its design that you almost never see in video games. I'm also dog-awful at modern short-TTK shooters like this lol. I put all my hours of practice into nailguns and rocket jumps, not iron-sights

I think some important stuff is gonna work out

videogames are good you just need to be playing itchio pervert stuff or viewtiful joe

Thinking about how Jenova is inspired by Zëiram from the movie Zëiram.
