Happy to report my 2026 geeky resolution of "read more comic books & play less video games" is going well. Happy to see the resolutions of my fellow Comics XF writers as well.
More than a month late but no worse for wear, the ComicsXFamily makes its New Year's resolutions for 2026. What sort of things are you looking to accomplish?

It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .

This episode took MILLIONS of viewers away from CBS during Super Bowl XXVI’s halftime to the point in which it forced the NFL to make big changes for Super Bowl halftime entertainment. 🏈

*sighs wistfully* I would've loved to get into Cardfight Vanguard but even the console video game based on the card game is way too expensive ($70 is ridiculous when a Yugioh console game is $40 and actually goes on sale for less).
For Cardfight!! Vanguard’s 15th anniversary—they are bringing back Dragonic Overlord!
(Though Dragonic Overlord still got a few new cards a few years ago. These upcoming decks are going to bring it back to more modern play as usual.)
Blaster Blade is a favourite, and that card means a lot to me.

Take about Magic not having a well-known “dragon” outside audience/playerbase was so real.
You got to have iconic “dragon” for your card game.

I am gonna step back from this game & maybe come back to it later. Emphasis on maybe,

Usually don't ask for video game help here, but I can't figure out how to get my Mining Buddies to help me remove this boulder in Fantasy Life i. I can't do it b/c my Mining skill is too low & I stopped leveling up that Life after losing interest
