Would say I'm rocking my P-chan hat for Rumiko Takahashi's bday, but I rock it everyday.

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

This holds true for albums/vinyl too. There's so many reissues/remasters of stuff that just sounds like shit.

There's also dvds that look a hundred times better than blu ray reissues. Shit, there's one movie, I can't recall, that looks better on VHS

One little thing that I don't like about getting new media is the amount of research it takes to figure out if something is a good transfer or not. Took me half a day figuring out if the UHD Akira was any better than the Blu Ray.

Two-thirds God, One-third Man @shawnaldridge.bsky.social · 2d

Both under 10 bucks. Was torn whether it was worth it to upgrade from my bluray copy of Akira

Someday I'll remember what the fuck this was about

Two-thirds God, One-third Man @shawnaldridge.bsky.social · 3d

Sometimes you're sitting at a red light, blasting Fuck the Police, and a cop rolls up next you and all they can do is stare in confusion as to why no one is in the "driver seat"

Giving you shit like this--

Kill another whale with your power
Shoot a bunch of kids from a tower
Snipe them in their cars, blood keeps them warm

Still on that Flo and Eddie shit. Another hidden gem. Agree with @xtop.bsky.social that opening track is an all-timer

Picked up cheap at Costco. Only disappointing thing is why they didn't use the correct screen color.
