My wife and I played the @shrineslegacy.bsky.social demo recently. We hugely recommend! Support this indie team! Really enjoyed a 16 bit Zelda-like WITH COUCH CO-OP. That's all we want in our lives. Easy to pick up and play, fun story so far, easy-on-the-eyes UI, and a lot of promise. #indiegaming

I have to say, it's incredibly novel to think of superheroing through a company and dispatch. For a genre (that I love) that often doesn't play with how heroes would legally function in a world like ours, I like the idea of playing with "Capes" tropes through an emergency service and call line.

Really enjoyed playing the #Dispatch demo from @adhocstudio.com . I was looking forward to a great Telltale narrative game but found myself enjoying the Dispatching even more (esp. managing a team of misfits and their quirks). I definitely recommend it! (I just hope they add more gamepad support!)
The logo for the upcoming game, Dispatch, which has three men at a urinal, and the title of the game and a cape hanging off of the bathroom toilet doors).

In honor of No Kings Day and the immense rebelliousness of the Andor Subreddit: #NoKings #NoKingsDay #Andor #IHaveFriendsEverywhere
A protest sign for No Kings Day that alters the original text from the rebels in the show Andor. Original quote: "The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear." -Karis Nemik E12 This is changed on the sign to: "The Republican need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. The day will come when all of these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of republican authority and there will be one too many. Remember this: try." A purple protest sign that says "I have friends everywhere," a spy phrase used by the a spy network of rebels in the show Andor A screenshot of a post saying that leftists, historians and even the Star Wars franchise (through the show, Andor) have all shown that we're seeing and naming fascism happening in realtime, but news media outlets are pretending like the protestors are crazy, not this impending regime.

This is Jack Kirby for me. A Man who just wanted to create endless bombastic cosmic worlds and be paid a liveable wage for it. Who are other creators who just made stories and never seemed to do anything terrible to anyone?

As the writers who defined my adolescence reveal themselves to be monsters, I'm ever-more thankful for Stephen King.

A man who wants nothing more than to write stories and tell them to the world.

We're lucky to have him.

3 things I learned from #SpiritedAway:

1. An abandoned theme park is the perfect place to stop and grab a bite.
2. This place is exactly why we have unions.
3. Nothing wins hearts like crying yourself to sleep in front of other people.

First post in a while has to be about Gina Brillon.

Goddamn. Came for the jokes about being growing up in NYC as a Bronxite.

Stayed for the deeply moving messages about parenting, identity and being better to each other.

Been off for a long time. Had to get away from social media. Feeling ready to try again. And especially get back into the writing/film/games/comics/TV communities. I need some good energy in my brain when I'm on these platforms!

A) 50th anniversary attention of any kind for Storm: yes.

B) she's taking on actual thunder gods

C) love the diversity, designs, Kirby influence, and usage of these lesser known thunder gods! By @lucianovecchio.bsky.social

#comics #comicsky #marvel #marvelcomics

www.marvel.com/articles/com...
Luciano Vecchio "I approached the Thunder Gods designs in a two-steps process," Vecchio explained. "First, by designing each God based on Murewa’s description and inspiration references, and reflecting the culture and real-world iconography each belongs to. "But this is the Marvel Universe, so the second stage was injecting some Kirby-like fantasy vibes, and incorporating design elements from the original Thor and Storm designs for a cohesive feel while keeping individuality. The goal is to make sure that, keeping the Marvel tradition, these are versions of the Thunder Gods that can only exist in the Marvel Universe." Designs of thunder gods by Luciano Vecchio.

Next: Storyteller's Weekly Journal. Not usually a fan of such books. There's no foolproof way to success. But I really love the attention to mentally healthy routines and researching your genre/medium to increase chance of creative, critical & commercial success.

Similarly, Sasha at @casuallycomics.bsky.social did another great interview with Scott Synder, this about breaking into comics. Great, honest, genuine, step by step insights to getting closer to mainstream success. Very heartfelt.

Haven't been on in a while, but had to share this really beautiful, vulnerable short.

Went through the same thing with a parent. I wish had her strength in writing about vulnerable moments like this. Maybe now I do. Give it a read.
