Between the haircut, jawline, & specific design era used for the X-Men ('91 to '92, largely from Jim Lee), I'd narrowed the Hulk reference materials provided to Bengus as either Dale Keown or Gary Frank from Peter David's run. Sure enough, both artists appear in Capcom's own promo materials

A grocer holds Biffo and Buster at gunpoint and forces them to stack huge boxes of Salt, Cocoa, Pears, Baking Powder, Flour, and delicious Meat Paste (4 doz). GROCER: Stack 'em up! BIFFO: Bah! We'll have to play another game.

Cao Cao to Shi Xu: "What is your opinions about the lyrics to my Short Song?" Cao Cao: "Let nothing restrain your words, I am always pleased to hear criticisms." Cao Cao: You dare ruin my poetic mood?! (Cao Cao stabbing Shi Xu with a spear)

Thread with a bunch of important points. I was also taken aback by atechnical literacy of the discourse...

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Ok, Aeneid discourse time because the statement below is correct, but also, I think, significantly incomplete in ways that understate how good Vergil is as an author (he is very good).

Aeneas is supposed to be a self-righteous prig because Vergil is deeply ambivalent about the Augustan project.

Virgil wrote FanFic.

And while parts of his epic are very good, Aeneas himself comes across as a self-righteous prig.

Square-Enix scanned the original Chrono Trigger production artworks and made a video containing very very close-up shots of them. an opportunity to see Toriyama linework/colorwork in such fine detail is a real treasure www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDI_...

I still regularly use Wirecutter for product recommendations. I do, however, question some of the side articles.

#FFXI sickos and #FFXIV weirdos are two sides of the same gil, yet some of us make up the whole-ass coin. This video essay reconciles the living fossil with the successor that yet hurtles into the future.

Who doesn't love dessert? 🍰 At Horn & Hardart's Automat, diners could buy high quality fresh food, including pies, cookies, and cakes, from coin-operated windowed compartments. This 1930s #NYTMCollection "Subway Sun" concept drawing by Fred Cooper advertised the Automat's beloved chocolate cake.

In issue #150 of EGM, they did a top 100 games ranking and gave Super Metroid #1. In the next issue, they got this letter complaining about it and wondering why the nod didn't go to MDK2.
I read your top 100 games of all time, and thought it was pretty good. But the question I must ask is, why Super Metroid? I never played the game until a couple of weeks ago. I went to my local pawn shop and picked up the game. I was expecting something absolutely incredible, but what I got was the same spikey heads rolling around the floor that were in the first game. I gave it an hour, and I was still shooting the spikey heads. A while later my friend came over and started to point and laugh, telling me that the game is a complete pile. At that point, I shut the game off. I, too, thought the game sucked! How can both of us be completely wrong? I mean this game doesn't come off to me as good, let alone the best game of all time. I could go on about MDK2, San Francisco Rush 2049, Tekken 3 or DOA2.... Could you at least explain to me what the big deal is about this game? Dave
