For our annual comic convention my hometown hosted a mini exhibit on Akemi Takada, artist and character designer for many iconic anime of the 80s, like Creamy Mami and Kimagure Orange Road. Witnessing so many iconic artworks in person was breathtaking.

Classic Musou review. The best games in the series - like SW2 and DW5&8 - all have 5/10 reviews calling them boring & lacking in innovation...

Sengoku Basara 3 updated the formula, giving entirely unique playstyles to each character & stage... still got blasted with 4/10s from IGN and Gamespot :P
Wild opening paragraph, maybe you shouldn't be the one reviewing a Warriors game then

In the latest instalment of the hellscape that is my life, random clown doesn’t believe that I don’t use AI, so asks Grok AI… but when Grok AI tells them the same thing, they believe it.
What a time to be alive.

It's such an ordeal living through the Trump era. So it's nice that today we can bask in nostalgia for Bush/Cheney, an administration that in many ways was just as fucking bad.

This is worse than the worst thing ever attributed to any “Bernie Bro”. The Democratic leader literally refusing to say WHETHER HE VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

fascinating how you have a political career in which your decisions cause pain and suffering to literal millions, but when you die, everybody's like "he shot that one guy in the face." It's the PERSONAL horror that really sticks, isn't it

Today is, by all means, Yoshiyuki Tomino's birthday! Without the tour de force that Tomino is, we wouldn't have many aspects of SF & Mecha, including Mobile Suit Gundam, Xabungle, L-Gaim, King Gainer, Daitarn 3, Zambot 3, Brain Powerd, Ideon & Dunbine. Happy 84th Birthday 🎉

it was, in fact, the video clip i was trying to find to post
As Bluesky's general functionality continues to improve, there are times you may find it difficult to search for the content you need. So as a public service announcement here's the video clip you are trying to find to post when discussing the death of Dick Cheney today apnews.com/article/dick...
Sheey-it, look at that lineup for the November 2025 Humble Choice. There is Total War: Warhammer III, a game which I have spent several hundred hours on and am not actually particularly good at despite being at it for a decade. Someday I’ll encounter people I know who also play & enjoy a game I play

Killing the dreams and wonders of children may be the greatest crime AI techbros have commited.
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

I grew up in Texas listening to country music and The Chicks specifically and I remember being so confused as to how and why such a thing would happen. the rallying cry from the mob was that you MUST respect the president no matter who he is, which turned out to ring false once Obama took office

people have completely memory holed this which is a shame because I don't know that I've seen anything like it before or since. Natalie Maines, performing in London, said she was ashamed that George W. Bush was from Texas, and in response she and her bandmates had their lives destroyed
In my second of two opinion writing seminars for MPP students today, I was asked about getting canceled in the future over writing today. I immediately responded with my deeply held belief that only The Chicks ever have been canceled. 3 of the 65 people laughed; everyone else was very confused.

40% of Americans will watch The Simpsons and think that Mr. Burns is a man of god who definitely does not cartoonishly exploit every resource he is given or has access to for his personal benefit.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
