A series of panels from the classic comic series Watchmen. The first panel shows philanthropist-turned-villain Adrian Veidt in his Egyptian-inspired Ozymandias superhero costume. His speech bubble has been edited to read, "I can make little number nines appear." Subsequent panels are unedited. The second panel depicts Dan Dreiberg as the superhero Nite Owl. He looks shocked and uneased, saying, "You...? Nahh, come on. That's completely... You couldn't REALLY do that?" The third panel is a closeup of Veidt, his confidence and pride shaken. In the original story, he feels the weight of inflicting an enormous sacrifice to achieve a greater good; in this edit, he instead appears to regret making the page number of 9 manifest in the lower-right corner.

best I've got is American comics but this is an all-timer so it's fine

Hey yall - unfortunately the rest of the very, very talented wanderstop team was laid off today and the studio shuttered. I'm no longer in need of work, but please, hire these peeps in the thread below! They're all absurdly good at what they do.

One of my favorite bits is also impossible to actually quote

The New York Times is an evil, fascist rag.

You pulled up to online matches back in like 2008 with a japanese name that isn't naruto or sasuke and people got angry when you say you're black

Glad those times are behind me but also insane times to go thru lmao

Translation backlog: Just in time for Momvasion, we've translated last year's Extra Fes 2025 pamphlet short story about the first Divine Tiger. It includes our favorite line ever. You'll know it when you see it.

my thought with all those at Epic today. it should be illegal to lay off 20% of your workforce on a whim. it's not perfect, but there are more protections against this sort of thing in Europe. support politicians with legitimate connections to labor unions.

Never wanna see any CSM fan talk about anything ever again LMAAAAOOOOOOO

Just got reminded of this quote, now it's gotta live on Bluesky

Telling people to support grassroots fighting game events as a “counter” to the corporatization of the FGC is pointless. That’s not how people live their lives.

Just enjoy the events and talk about why they’re cool. Most people don’t pick up hobbies to be revolutionaries.

Emailing the CEO of Arizona Iced Tea and letting him know the CVS near me is charging $1.09 for the 22oz and he sends a drone to level the building in a fury of fire and rage

I be pushin' musou on my friends like reagan with crack in black communities and ive gotten more than a couple people put on to quality picks

It's so good

I also think a lot of gamers underestimate the power of just naturally enjoying the thing you love & how people gravitate to that

You won’t have to tell people to play a game for some greater cause, you won’t have pit it against another game

Sincere passion is contagious (and good for you)

So many artists stop creating because of a lack of positive feedback. Leaving a nice comment is literally never a bad idea.

I’m so glad I let go of the idea that it’s too late to learn certain skills as you get older

In fact, I’m finding that as I get older, there’s certain things I learn faster than I did when I was younger

the arc of bluepoint is very instructive:

1. respected studio for reliable, accurate enough ports, multiple collections a year
2. one remake every 3-5 years that destroys the aesthetic of the original
3. acquired. set to work on a live service game for a nostalgia based property
4. everyone fired

sony being morons and funding a million games no one likes is true but its being overemphasised because it has a moral arc that feels good. whats happening in games is a global industry wide re-organization of labour because movement of capital is free and movement of people is not

we don’t have to make every studio exceptional to make them worthy of being mourned, that should be a given. bluepoint folding doesn’t mean we suddenly gotta reappraise demon’s souls remake as good, the studios that make bad games deserve to have livelihoods too!!!

not really interested in the way bluepoint is being eulogised as a singular artist, to mourn the products they could have made for Sony, the games they could have done bad remakes of.

the tragedy here is that people lost their jobs. it’s always that people have lost their jobs.

Idk how i even come up with this
