Franky: Johnny Depp, Leo Dicaprio, Robert Downey Jr.
Creature: John Lithgow, Vincent D'Onofrio, John C. Reilly
Honorable mention: Spade and Farley!

I've been stitching together the 2400dpi scans I made from the 1987 #Nintendo wall calendar. It's slow going BUT I did get the art for Super #Mario 2 repaired & cleaned!
When I'm done the RAWs & repairs will be on my Internet Archive page: archive.org/details/@his... (Links to more stuff in my bio)

Me watching GDT's Frankenstein: You know what would be cool? If the story shifted to the creature's perspective halfway through.

I turn 39 today!
I remember turning 29 as I started work on OK KO and was about to pitch Mao Mao. I thought "If I can't do this by 30, then maybe I never will."
I still feel the anxiety of what I will or won't achieve very keenly. There's so much I want to and am capable of doing-

Dragon Quest 2 remake just floored me with this scene! Just a clip, but the whole thing is so simple yet so emotionally charged. It's what Dragon Quest does best: fairy tales with raw human stakes.

Had an absolute blast sitting down for a one-on-one chat with @parkersimmons.bsky.social this week to discuss in GREAT DETAIL the long history of Nintendo's operating systems. Pretty fascinating to track design philosophies over the years and speculate if "weird" Nintendo will return. Check it out!

Lord Chaos, a dark entity that commands Alonzo and Darius to seek the Tome of Terra.
But maybe Alonzo has plans of his own.
Black magical girls, spells and vampire romance await

You ever think Halloween had to die because despite being hyper consumerist on a surface level, it still fostered a sense of community, togetherness, generosity and joy?
Trunk or Treat is a psyop.
Also the toaster's been laughing at me.

There's some Billy and Mandy DNA in Mao Mao since our story editor @slackmistress.bsky.social wrote on that show as well!
Looking back, it's pretty crazy just how much of an influence The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy had on both my current sense of humor and love of horror.
