Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Flash being turned into a puppet while thinking "I've got the strangest feeling I'm being turned into a PUPPET!". FUN FACT: it is impossible to see this cover and not want to see more

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

Happy 25th birthday, Alien Resurrection! A game that clawed its way out of development hell three years after its planned release date. Released to mostly middling reviews, including its legacy: Gamespot's, who criticised it for what would soon become the standard: modern controller FPS controls.

A photo of Alien Resurrection for PS1 with a little xenomorph statue next to it

A snap of Gamespots website with its review of Alien Resurrection and 4.7 score.

The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down. Too often, you'll turn to face a foe and find that your weapon is aimed at the floor or ceiling while the alien gleefully hacks away at your midsection. Add to the mix a few other head scratchers - such as how the triangle button controls item and health use - and you'll be wondering how Sony let this get by without requesting a few different control configuration options.

Beyond the control issues, Alien Resurrection is gruelingly hard. That is, it's hard to the point where you'll spend as much time reloading your save file as you will spend playing the game. The near-mythical PlayStation mouse peripheral is supposed to solve many of the game's control problems, but the 99.9 percent of PlayStation owners who've never even seen the device will find the game almost unplayably difficult to control and unreasonably hard to enjoy. It's a dramatic answer to a problem far more easily solved by adopting the control scheme from EA's Medal of Honor.

I sometimes worry that time will forget him

A person dressed in a full black bodysuit with a carved jack-o’-lantern on their head stands in a graveyard setting, posing with their arms raised above their head in a triangle shape. The background shows tombstones, bare trees, and a foggy sky. Text in the lower right corner reads “CW KXVO 15 KXVO.COM.”

a two-panel cartoon of Venom Snake and Quiet in The Phantom Pain. Quiet is wearing her usual bikini camo and Venom also is bare chested. In the first panel, Quiet walks up to Venom silently. In a smaller panel captioned LIVE MOTHERBASE REACTION, Revolver Ocelot, Kazuhira Miller and DD look on. In the second panel, Quiet honks Venom's pecs while imagining to press her face on them. Venom is blushing, but pleased. In the reaction panel, DD's ears perk up, Ocelot giggles in amusement, and Kaz is outraged

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

Can’t believe that one Silent Hill Wiki Editor got a position as the Foreskin Czar in the Trump regime.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

a fascinating writeup on the making of a set of widely distributed IDF propaganda videos, specifically identifying assets they used. there's something incredibly unsettling about the creative ethos here. stolen assets. no actual intelligence information at all. just hubris and pure fabrication.

Jack Sapoch @jacksapoch.bsky.social · 1d

Others assets came from scans made by the Scottish Maritime Museum of their boat-building workshop which was downloaded (via @sketchfab.bsky.social) and reimagined by the IDF adornments for underground missile factories.

GC wrote a great thread about the recasting of Hamazaki with Teruyuki Kagawa that I really suggest reading (along with the article from @unseenjapan.com) to get full context of RGG Studios deliberate decision to stand by this choice.

GC Vazquez @gcvazquez.bsky.social · 11d

So for people wondering about the Teruyuki Kagawa stuff (or for people who don't know,) yeah. The new actor portraying Hamazaki in Kiwami 3 admitted to sexually harassing a hostess club employee in 2022.
