Apparently the best way to prepare is getting a team to level 99 and max stats.

My highest level Digimon is 60. This might take a while.

I beat Digimon Story Time Stranger! It took me about 40 hours to do the main story and all the side quests.

…however, there’s an achievement for beating the hardest difficulty mode on New Game+, so we all know I’m not finished yet 👀

Tell you what, this Digimon game has taken a turn. I was expecting some simple good vs evil.

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 1d

These sound cool. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this Dark line branches out into gaming comics too and I get to read 700 Resident Evil comics 🤔😂

Heather Antos @heatherantos.bsky.social · 1d

It’s a good thing I’m not in charge of Sega because each new Sonic Olympics game would have a new crossover.

Sonic and Mario, Sonic and Mega Man, Sonic and Final Fantasy.

Sonic and Mass Effect at the Olympic Games.

You can have three Digimon follow you around in Time Stranger.

…I might have a slight obsession with Veemon and his evolutions.

Saw some very big pumpkins today

A photo of some very large pumpkins. They are so big they have collapsed under their own weight.

Had to go to Warrington today and apparently there are a ton of flag nonces living there.

Nobody tell them where St George was from.

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 5d

Also, I dunno if there’s a catchy name for it like “blaxploitation”, but a surprisingly large amount of LGBT comics are cash grabs.

Too many up and coming comic people are more concerned with making a name for themselves than just making comics.

Liam McGuire @liammcguire.bsky.social · 6d

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

I’m not entirely sure what this is about but the CEO encouraging users to abandon their product is an…interesting strategy.

Jay 🦋 @jay.bsky.team · 5d

You could try a poster’s strike. I hear that works

I may have accidentally played 6 hours of the new Digimon game and now it’s 2am.

I’ve only played a couple of hours so I can’t give a full opinion, but I already have Veemon and Gaomon on my team so GAME OF THE YEAR

Time for Digimon Story! I gave up precious playing time to see my niece for a bit first, I’m a good uncle.

But I’m an even better Digimon tamer 😎😂

Look, if I’m writing a horror story? I’m gonna kill some children. It’s gonna happen.

If you see a kid in one of my stories? Hold on tight, it won’t end well.

Not a fan of Corbyn sending out an email about “Starmer’s resignation” and getting me all excited for nothing.

Let’s make one thing clear.

Neon Ichiban is great for digital comics.

Neon Ichiban is also an awful name.
