Yeah I didnt get super far into it, but the world expansion was what got me. Hated exploring a level with pathways that just led nowhere so that I could just play the level again a little later but bigger.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

In 1971, a 30-year-old Neal Adams sat down to crank out a Superman cover for Julie Schwartz. Took him an hour or so. It became one of the most iconic comic book covers of all time. Coming up at Heritage soon. Might be a million dollar piece.

At the start of summer I'd set a goal for myself to find a mantis in the wild and in early autumn I spotted one among the flowers.

A mantis hanging upside down from white flowers, cleaning its forelimbs against a blue sky.

This JRJR section from Uncanny 209 where Rachel Summers is lured by Spiral with the promise of a new body and life is one of my favorite comics sequences ever that I never see mentioned. A big part of my read on Rachel as trans and only boosted by how she presents when she escapes later in Excalibur

A new Abnormal Mapping on Viewfinder! This small surrealist puzzler was a little slighter than we both would have preferred, and we talk about the tricky balance of story and gameplay, alongside much more game talk! www.abnormalmapping.com/the-abnormal...

Some games are just very okay to the point where you don’t have too much to say about them, but thankfully we have some other gaming to keep us going as we poked through some photos and perspective pu...

I understand what youre saying but I also just downloaded it on Switch and played for free until I couldnt anymore in Japanese without reading anything amd had a great time. I felt magical moments of connection when I couldnt talk to other players but we still ran around together anyways

I know a lot of people think the sprite work is ugly also, but I find the Charles M. Schulz inspired americana design work to be really charming and unique - not to mention that somehow despite the limitations places like Magicant do genuinely feel magical and places like Mt. Itoi feel threatening

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

Four frames comic about two types of Isekai I found and read lately. The first frame shows a young man with a sword. He says: "My name is Josh Itcantbehelped and I used to be a loser before a car crash brought me to a world where I am a god and half the population is made of SLAVE CATGIRLS". The second frame shows him crying and clenching his fist, with many a cat behind him, wearing bikinis. He says "To make it here I guess I have no choice but to own as many catgirls as I can...how tragic...". The third frame shows another character from another type of Isekai. She's a woman with a fluffy dress. She says "My name is Elise Robespierre and after being hit by a truck of terminal cancer I am now in my favorite 900 pages novel. With many a hot man.". The fourth frame shows her giving a board presentation to citizens, with graphs and pictures of plants on it. She says: "Hello citizens. This is my plan to modernize the agricultural system and prevent any further plague by creating medicine [...] taxes which ..." the text becomes unreadable as she keeps talking to her captive audience.
