This is not my best shot of Kitsune, but you can see his tail here and why we went with that name. 🙂

Light orange tabby is sitting up straight in his shelter kennel, on a grey towel. His face is a little goofy and looking down, I'm both petting him on his shoulder and trying to gently hold him still with one gloved hand. His tail is resting on the ground, it is long and floofy and a little bit lighter at its tip.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

I'm apparently not as big of a masochist as the countless bullshit at my job led me to believe...

I thought it would be a quick thing to play through to add to the media list.

It very much became "At what cost?!"

Laios has a plan for defeating the Winged Lion, and trying to stop him from getting to the surface. The final battle.

Absolutely gorgeous two page spreads.

what the fuck do you MEAN you can evolve eevee into jolteon in gen 1 by getting into a trainer battle, levelling eevee up, switching to growlithe, and finishing the battle with growlithe, because growlithe's pokemon index is the same as thunder stone's item index. WHAT. WHATTT

148. Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (NSO)

Bubsy is a game that hates you, wants you to be miserable, and asks what if you stared in a Saturday Morning Cartoon all at once
Heavy use of the Switch's rewind feature was used, because oh boy! This is a game for video essays on game design

Screenshot of a notepad containing my thoughts on Bubsy
Text:

Gameplaywise, it want's to be a speed game, but is too zoomed in, not giving you a good enough read on the screen and what's coming up or where to go.

The screen is also way too populated. There's too much shit flying at you all at once, touching the slightest pixel of enemies kills you, and your hitbox is huge.

The levels are excessively huge.

Bosses feel like being lucky with the RNG so you can get the few hits in that's needed before the screen is crowded with shit, or you get stuck in a corner and die.

On the plus side, the spritework for Bubsy is really good and expressive.

Also Japanese boxart Bubsy is so much cuter.

147. Delicious in Dungeon Volume 14

And they have a feast! What a perfect way to end and unwind. What a series, what an ending. How everything is tied back into food *chef's kiss*.

I can't wait for the anime!

I will now advocate for more characters stopping to eat a meal together.

As things heat up, the pot is coming to a boil.

As the dungeon is rearranging itself, and starting to emerge and split the island, the group goes to save Marcille.

A very dense volume, and I can't wait to see this animated.

Oh, I have awaited you patiently all this time 💫
