The sky's the limit...

I'm a fan of plenty of long running series, but the expectation that they'll print infinite money and light up imaginations forever like they did when they were new and exciting ideas is deeply unrealistic. Either embrace the niche captured audience you have or try something completely different.

We need to keep gatekeeping out of comics! A Reddit post yesterday highlighted an all too familiar tale: a female comics reader who was treated badly in a comics shop

On Haman Karn and darkness (1/33) In this thread I will examine the recurring association Haman Karn has with the concept of darkness.

Been an Android user for 15 years, with nearly all that time on Nexus and Pixel phones. Google really went out of their way today to announce how they're going to make all their products more horrible with forced AI integration. Probably time to start finding alternatives for every service.

PSA: Don't give any engagement to that trash chud site (you know the one) by linking to their ridiculous #GundamHathaway review.

An eBay seller wants $2,500 for Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, thus proving my point below.

Many thoughts on #GundamHathaway but for now this one: I'm really tired of hearing Toru Furuya in new Gundam productions. Just get rid of this fucking guy already and recast Amuro.

In an alternative universe twelve inches to the left, Mazinger fans once again start discourse over whether or not the main girls from God Mazinger: The Witch From Mu are actually gay or not while Gundam fans are popping off over Kamille getting added as a unit in the newest SRW.

I hate that CR has near monopoly control over the North American anime industry and there's so much they either don't release on physical media or just let go OOP. It sucks that if you like anime on physical media you have to basically buy it instantly because you never know when it'll go OOP.

My first import was the European Dreamcast release of Shenmue II. Totally worth it.

A piece of Last Window: The Secret of Cape West artwork by Keisuke Sakamoto featured in the official #NintendoDS guidebook released in Japan. Removed text, applying a slight clean/retouch since the scans provided by @bblm2.bsky.social were already pretty good.

don’t let yourself be defined by liking a single piece of media or a single franchise. you’re giving one creator or corporation control over your entire identity. all media is art in conversation with all other art! there’s a whole world out there of More Art You’ll Like! try out the entire genre!

Look, cool robot!! Recently completed commission, my first Gundam thing! Loved leaning into the 'White Devil' aspect of Grandpa for this. P.S. I added a print of this to my Ko-Fi shop as well!

Forever Four #gundam #zetagundam

An all-time classic and a top 5 Zelda game for me. I like to think of it and Link's Awakening as a perfect pair of similar but also wildly different games.

The other day I saw a post where someone was saying roughly "anti-AI Luddites need to accept that people in Asia don't have a problem with gen AI." About that...

Given how often we see giant NA publishers buy up home video rights and sit on them forever, the industry REALLY needs to start mandating "use it or lose it" clauses for HV rights in negotiations. Like, if CR or Netflix won't put out a BD, fine - let Discotek, Media Blasters, or AnimEigo do it.

You'll never get magic like this with AI.

Norman assembled an amazing body of work over the years and is definitely exiting this space on a high note.

My manifesto:

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

The GoFundMe to support Adam's healthcare expenses during his recovery is at just under 80%. Any level of support you can provide is appreciated, whether that's donating or resharing this post to give it a signal boost.

One of the most annoying forms of fan discussion is "does [anime] ever get better?" My dude, why don't you determine this for yourself? Also, if you're watching something and not vibing with it, just stop. Anime is something to be enjoyed, not a chore to complete.

I always love when websites get sassy about your password complexity. Bitch shut up you're just gonna lose it in a data breach in three months anyway

I love this guy's passion and energy about why AI gen slop is ruining PC, console gaming and even mobile phones because fuck every tech corporation that invested in this shit ✊️

Plot hole now means "not knowing something."

And everyone can now read this fresh piece on Super Mario Land, AKA the weird Mario that finishes on a very shmup-y note: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2026/02/20/s...

Once, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology. Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"

The full map to the original Castlevania. This is a brilliant map. Despite seeing a map in between stages, you don't really think about how it all connects, but the flow lines up almost perfectly making one cohesive castle.

"CEO said a thing" journalism is an intellectual and cultural cancer

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it. It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance. If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification. you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.

The GFM to help with Adam's medical expenses is now at 52% funded! Thank you to everyone who has already contributed. If there's anything you can add at any level, even just resharing this post, it would help a lot!

Neil Gaiman is crawling out of his bog two years after sexual assault allegations to play the sweet old fantasy uncle again -- complete with name-dropping that book you like & his twee "make good art" catchphrase -- all in order to (of course) sell you his upcoming book. Don't you dare fall for it.

One step closer to Hathaway! @spacequeenemily.bsky.social and @sundownmcmoon.bsky.social dock with the GRFM-Cailum to break down Hi-Streamer Book #2! We're in CCA territory, folks! Buckle up for some takes! Kudos to @cguanche.bsky.social for reading some excerpts! Become a patron to listen!
