I thought something seemed off about the the image posted below: it's a photo that's been edited and colorized by AI. Please don't do that.

There's a full set of Game Clash up for auction I would absolutely love to nab, issues are very hard to come by. If you are interested in helping clinch it, any contributions would help tremendously!

The saddest thing about this is that Dyer is a veteran publisher; he's definitely 100% aware that this book isn't up to their usual standard. Defending this one bad book at a cost to all their other authors is a bizarre hill to die on and not one he would have chosen if he wasn't panicking.

Thank you so much Melora!!

The URLs at the bottom are no longer online, of course, but the Internet Archive has snapshots and...

The first one is "John Turner's Data Den", which hosts the original artwork shown in this photo (attached to this post.)

And the second is for @michelelight.bsky.social's website!
"Ripe Ones" by James Bender, circa 2000.

I didn't have anything exciting queued up for Evangelion's 30th anniversary but I do want to do a quick thread of cool, obscure-ish Eva things that are already out there

A reminder to the #evangelion girlies out there, I've scanned 25 materials related to the series ranging from official photobooks, doujin, pachinko strategy guides, 3D modelling software, screensaver collections, figure books, and even GAINAX endorsed(?) BL, check em out!

Heard back from him this morning, apparently my scans were higher quality than anything his team could find (or had physically). He's happy his work can be useful just as I'm happy my work is useful 😇
