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

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.

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

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
