Former shonen manga character, now all grown up. He/him, your big bro online. pfp by @brobexx.bsky.social

updated intro post, which doubles as a "why your friends should follow me" post--now with alt text!

hey everyone, I'm Nate--I talk a lot about movies, comics from around the world, and the joy of (consensual) fighting

when I say I'm a real-life retired shonen hero, I'm not joking

“Nobody cares about fighting game stories—“ Yeah, shut up, here’s a professional essay about Lee’s character motivations in Tekken. Love it~
ICYMI: "[H]ow and why does someone decide to be and do good?"

Alex J. Tunney explores the moral shifts of Tekken's Lee Chaolan:
Violet Shift, Silver Lining - Unwinnable
In a world of iron fists, it’s easy to see how one could be morally corrupted.

4300 isn't enough - they should be over 5k for real.
We did it with the help of you folks & the very last follow by Erin Swartz, @bouzannesnaques.bsky.social,
who got us over the 4300 line! Cheeeehoooo!
Mahalo nui loa, thank you very much, to everyone who follows us in our mission of supporting our national park partners in Hawaiʻi & American Samoa!🫶
Isn't the #Brockenspectre phenomenon the most mindblowing visual experience? It is basically a fully circular cloudbow & it happens often at the summit of #Haleakalā Volcano. 🌤️🌈

If you appreciate our national parks content, let your people know & help us boost up to the 4300 follower level! Mahalo!

if you've ever written in games media, raise your hand if some idiot online tried to say you made a ton of money doing it
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

Last Repost: Given the poor reception to Yakuza 0’s ‘directors cut’ release, I also implore everyone still on the fence to get 0 in its original form any way you can. One of my very favourite modern games.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Too many people see pirating as a form of protest. And it's not. At all. Boycotting is a form of protest. If I ran up in Target and started stealing things, that's not sending a message about Target's practices.
Stop making up reasons why pirating comics is good. It’s not good. Spend a few dollars and buy a book. Quit being a fuckin parasite

y'know that "play Yakuza 0" drum I've been banging for almost a decade?

PLAY YAKUZA 0, the director's cut is not worth it
Yakuza 0 Will be Delisted & Replaced by Yakuza 0 Director's Cut Starting Dec. 8th. https://ow.ly/AW7950XyiP5

you should buy Y0 before this btw; the Director's Cut is a markedly worse experience and isn't even done BY the director of Y0

Megalovania always serves as a reminder that your boss fight can be frustrating and difficult, but it's okay if the boss' theme is a banger
