I bought this a few years back. Probably the best deal I’ve ever seen … on lin like anything, really.
If you missed out on the Kazuo Koike manga bundle before, it's back up on Humble! Getting 63 vols of manga that include Lone Wolf & Cub, Crying Freeman, Lady Snowblood & MORE is an incredible deal! (And if you're feeling generous, you can use my affiliate link here to get them & support me, too!!)
Humble Book Bundle: Lone Wolf & Cub and More by Koike ENCORE by Dark Horse
We’ve teamed up with Dark Horse for a manga bundle highlighted by the riveting parent-child series of Lone Wolf and Cub series.

Pizza is defined by mozzarella. There’s no compromise on that. No alternatives. No blends.

Every American, across the entirety of a very broad political spectrum, knows full well that this is some serious bullshit. The only difference you’ll find as you move along the spectrum is whether or not people PRETEND this is even remotely acceptable, & you have to go very far right to find that.

Anime is not a genre. Neither is manga. Why is this a thing?

I played through 54 games in 2025. That number was bolstered by my return to the shooter (STG) genre, but still, I played through plenty of games. Most were actually on Mister. Too many to fit in a single post.

I woke up this morning to a bit of snow that needed shoveling and found footprints from some visitors. I see all sorts of animals, but the snow reveals even more running around in space I’d never expect.

I know it’s dismissive of me, but I really don’t think any movie in the Jurassic Park series is likely to really add in a meaningful way to what the first movie had. And I didn’t even like that first movie.

At this point, I’m inclined to say that Metroid Prime 1 was a glorious fluke that came at the right time w/an idiosyncratic control scheme that somehow just couldn’t be improved upon even though it seemed at the time that it could ONLY be improved upon.

Now that I’ve finished up the latest Stranger Things episodes, I can finally open these up.
Mail call!
It took about a month door to door. I was getting a little worried. Gonna have a good time. :)

I’m reading a new book now, but I probably won’t finish this year. Babel was probably the strongest book of the year for me. Props to @katch.bsky.social for the recommendation on that one. It’s a little weird how they show so many covers from one series rather than spread it out.

I completed 53 games this year. 25 were on Mister FPGA. I’ve never been happier with a device in my life.

That’s Policenauts done. Definitely worth experiencing. Strong story. Good translation. Lethal Weapon in Space! Of course, it’s a Kojima story, so it’s got lots of odd pervy detours, but yeah, it’s a Kojima game, so it’s also a really good yarn peppered with surprisingly Nostradamic predictions.

I hope everyone got Shenmue for Christmas. That’s the closest to world peace I think we could ever realistically hope for.

I can’t get accurate time logs anymore because I’m old and I fall asleep while playing. I saved my game after waking up on the couch at 10:45, so I probably slept for about an hour and a half with the game running before saving and actually going to bed.
