For me as well. Walt Kelly's Pogo is another comic (strip, actually)where the lettering is art.

Fonts, cornerboxes, and cover logos. All part of the art form. Hand crafted and part of my attraction to comics.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Happy birthday to the late Earl Norem, tied with Hector Garrido as my favorite Joe artist!

UPA X Earthbound (Mother 2)! 🌎 💫

My joy for this is immeasurable.

that's two pieces, you fucking idiot

LeoXIV having no fear of Agent Orange is great to see. The fact that th Orange is legit triggered by someone not taking any shit from him is even better.

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

Not a fan of the current SNK. I prefer to remain in the heyday of the NeoGeo (and enjoy it as such). But seeing this gives me hope.

I am intrigued. It might be worth it just to poke around it's innards and see what makes it work.

Bnuuy chewing the spicy hay

Golly, I can't believe I got to visit Bluesky headquarters and sample the local cuisine

coffee no affect me

Smells like cigarettes and gutted social programs

I shudder. Seriously. Between that and Kizuna Encounter, the prices of either bring me to tears.

Pragmata feels like a game that was made in the early 00s but was lost to time. It carries Capcom's PS2 era vibe into the modern day. Check out my latest video discussing my thoughts on this very unique game! RTs greatly appreciated - youtu.be/NnLw_sCMHzk

The latest episode of season 2, Enter the Nightbird leaves only 2 episodes left to complete the Broadcast versions of G1 on the YouTube channel😁🥷

Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today:

Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card!

He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!

They are now the becoming the evil that nearly ended them.

February 1990.

Yes I am victim blaming, and no I don’t care: the entire industry has used fear as the cornerstone of its marketing for years; threatening people’s way of life in the abstract while damaging the economy, stealing peoples work etc. You don’t get to walk that back just because it became real for you.

I will take it to work and fiddle with it at my workstation (I need a new allen head set for home use). It plays well for a used stick, but it could use a a quick once-over. I also need matte black buttons and rings. The chrome does not work with the brushed aluminum.

Yesterday, I saw Super Mario Galaxy with my best friend. After, we went to LGS. Lots of good stuff for sale, but this caught my eye. I finally have a Hori Edge in my collection. Perfect size and weight for a lap player. I think I have my new main.

Imagine getting your hands on something that has eluded you for years. And that thing lives up to the hype.

Just saw it. Lots of fun.

😭😭😭😭😭

"Humans won't work unless they're forced to" is a myth for stupid people. If you're paying attention, humanity loves to do the job... they just don't like to be exploited and abused just to survive, the 2 tools people THINK you need to inflict upon humans to make them work.

A little later in the morning than I like, but I decided to stretch my legs and clear my head for a bit.
