Banjo, Beauty, and Reika fight the Meganoids in a comic show of a throuple versus mind-controlled cyborgs. But things are not always so lighthearted, as the Meganoids suffer from a genuine injustice and Banjo nurses a heavy grudge.

Toppo is there, too.

I think the reason Morrowind looms so large in my mind is that it’s *very specific* fantasy weirdness, in ways that the subsequent games didn’t seem to hold on to. Oblivion and Skyrim just felt like very plain fantasy in contrast

I love this part of the game. After seeing so much general fantasy weirdness, you go to the wizard tower populated by daughter-wive clones and the last of the dwarves (in a spider-mech) and *you're* the asshole.

defunctland videos are great because everyone in charge of disneyland for the past half century have been trying to carry out what they think walt would’ve wanted like they’re the patriots in MGS trying to carry out the boss’s will. coincidentally both involve giant robot dinosaurs

i think in this day and age more should be made that a regular book shop in your town has out there on the shelf books about sex, abuse, hate, gay shit, graphic violence, that one hitler wrote etc, and they're all there on the shelf unlabelled and unsupervised and society has not collapsed

one of the things i keep thinking about with the steam situation is booktok/tube discourse about whether books have too much porn now (they call it spice which i just can't you sound like duncan idaho) and if there should be enforced labelling or a rating system

Oh dear, this is already bringing out the 'You shouldn't defend this game, it's icky art that makes me uncomfortable' crowd.

I've no time for them. After the (still ongoing) payment processor censorship mess, I'm pretty sure I'm in the 'unless it's actively illegal, let art be unsettling' camp.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I beat King's Field III last night and was deeply unprepared for the narrator's voice performance in the final text crawl

“Conversation with Smaug”, by JRR Tolkien, for 1937’s “The Hobbit”.

I’ve no idea what state of mind Tolkien was in when he painted it. But every time I’ve seen it, and I’ve seen it a lot, I get the impression that he was having a really great time. It’s so zestful, in its details & as a whole.

This is worth highlighting, though is complicated by the fact that Disney was considering scuttling their animation unit in at the time and the transition to Xerox machine tracewas viewed as economic necessity. Disney himself, initially optimistic about the technology actually disliked the effect.
the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

Can't stop thinking about the witch with front row seats at last night's Lakers game. They cut to this shot briefly and we both screamed. She did not move or blink.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng
