Oh man, the best was when Trump used Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” at a rally, the middle verse of which is about a woman abandoning a baby next to a garbage can so she can go get a hit (given that it was 1989, probably crack).

Press is so used to a tit-for-tat relationship with politicians anymore that they lost the ability to actually do their job correctly. Trump has exploited that fact as easily as he has the Fox News dog whistle/party line. For better or for worse, mostly worse obviously, this campaign has made blatantly clear a lot of…

Guns don’t kill people, people who open fire because someone’s in a parked car kill people. This is madness.

This guy also went after SMT’s most recent depiction of Krishna...

Yes but everyone knows Nintendo hates money.

I saw an omake with Kentaro Miura once where he said Berserk was actually meant to combine the drama and complex emotional situations of girls manga with the thrilling violence of boys manga. If you look at Guts and Griffith side by side it becomes kinda obvious. It really improved my appreciation of the series.

Keldeo is so Osamu Tezuka it hurts. Princess Knight for comparison:

I wish more of our professional athletes were. At least ZXQ-481 won’t stuff me in a locker.

McKelvie’s also done shirts and posters for them, which are quite nice. The WicDiv/real music world overlap is a lovely thing - Grimes also did a variant cover for them in the teens? 15 maybe?

Only in Japan could you have a store called “WonderGoo.”

This whole thing is a mess.

Whoops! Almost cut myself on all that edge.

Y’all are really on Pewdiepie’s jock lately...

Wario has always been the best part of the Mario Universe.

Anybody else amused that Murica gets a bonus for fighting on their own continent when that hasn’t happened since before 1900? Teddy Roosevelt particularly swung his weight around in Panama and the Philippines.

That’s not the kind of forward thinking you get from Nintendo. They want you to buy the dongle, every time.

Things I’d like to see:

Maybe they’re rebooting the Echo Night series? It’s “slightly odd” and there’s a much larger market for walking simulators, which is what those appear to be. Plenty of design space there as well.

Fingers crossed for Starsborne. Really hope the sci-fi game Miyazaki talked about comes to fruition.

The odds are starting to look pretty good on the return of the arcade in the VR design space, which I’m pretty jazzed about (I’ve been saying it for years now). I think gaming has suffered a bit since the death of the lan party and the classic arcade; I hope this will open up a face-to-face space that will stymie some…
