Interesting! Yea that stuck out to me. I wonder if there were any mangaka that were inspired by its art

As someone who fell into the “all Shonen manga in the 60s/70s looked like Tezuka/Ishinomori” trap, reading Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 1 (1968) made me appreciate the sheer variety of styles packed into their first volumes.

Early manga history should be more storied in America

Day 4 Dragon Ball Racing PlayStaion 2 Update: Version 0.01 Officially Released on my Itch!

Literally just a Render Test right now, but I figured out how to pack the game into a valid ISO that you can run yourself in PCSX2 (or even burn to a disc)

Follow me and give it a spin!

I actually had one in the works but Guile beat me to it. That’s where the footage for some of my shorts come from.

I decided to put it off though so his vid wouldn’t eat my views 😅

For those of y’all who aren’t following me on Twitter (understandable) I’ve been working on porting Dragon Ball Racing (2009) from Japanese mobile phone to PlayStation 2

Here’s a quick render test so far!

If you’re interested I made a nice little brawler named Sun’s Dojo for the Game Boy! I’d love to see it get some love!

It’s a reprint (most original issues are decrepit at this point), but otherwise it’s an exact replica of the very first issue.

It’s hard because DBZ has a long history across the world of crazy bootlegs so something absurd like that seems like it’d have to be a bootleg

I’m having a hard time explaining to people that legitimately licensed Dragon Ball toys that came with gun accessories were actually sold in North America by Irwin Toy back in the day.

Like shit you could pick up at Toys R Us.

I feel like most anything nowadays that releases on vinyl also has a digital counterpart which makes it pretty easy to pirate either way.

I personally think it really comes to:

1. If a person is buying physical, they’re probably a big fan (or old)

2. Vinyl feels more like premium merch than CD

I'm getting overwhelmed a bit with YouTube ngl 😞

Okay I don't think Kaiba stealing Blue Eyes was worth Yugi turning Kaiba into a fucking vegetable

Half of the Yugioh cast are like peak superhuman freaks of nature who can jump out of a mach speed jets, but instead of standing on some Dragon Ball Z shit they decide to settle beef with card games for some reason.

They kinda imply that Yugi cheats like hell throughout this tournament

Like that ain't the power of friendship bro you literally helped him pull that card

Jonouchi, you literally watched Yugi's grandpa get his soul cast into eternal purgatory, why is a practical card trick getting you flustered?

Golden Portable @goldenportable.bsky.social · Sep 10

This is a cool party trick I guess, but does being able to know the cards in your hand while face down have literally any benefits from a game perspective?
