The Nintendo Switch version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker contains a model of a realistic man, called "Male". Despite Male being from a Nintendo 3DS development kit, the Switch version is the only one he appears in.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Last day of this brush being free, grab it before I move it to Patrons only and my Kofi shop.
I still don't know if "freeleasing" new brushes was a good decision. However, I feel good about it, even if people muted me for reposting a lot, and I am going to continue.
Thanks for your patience!

Was randomly thinking about Harmony Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft
again and suddenly realized which specific good movie it was the terrible version of—it’s trying to be like Michael Mann’s Miami Vice movie but fails for the very Korine reason of sitting too awkwardly on the fence between sincerity and irony

Pro-wrestling legend Mick Foley announced this morning that he's parting ways with WWE over the organization's "close relationship with Donald Trump," saying the president's "incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

I 100% have double standards in animation. When a mainstream series that's been focus-grouped to shit belabours a joke it's whatever, but when an indie show with very limited screen time burns two solid minutes doing a desperately unfunny bit the creator clearly thinks is hilarious, please, go on.

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game.
Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

Another peek at Shadowrun in Japan, this time from the mid-90s, with artwork from the Entangled Betrayal scenario.
This artwork is a fair bit less cutesy than that of the SR manga I previously shared, but still has those unmistakable anime vibes.
