i dunno, as nice as blind optimism is, i'd want to go into 2026 able to see what's coming...

whichever makes you feel better.

i suppose nows a good time to finish up earthbound.

@kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com

how would you make a katamari rpg?

not that anyone should, but the thought experiment is lodged in my head now.

i dunno, i don't think dropping the ceiling egg will have quite the same impact...

either way, i would like to rsvp the masquerade in advance.

at this point, i think we can only hope that the 'temporary' textures were an honest case of not thinking it through and they'll know better for expedition 34.

or they've just learned to hide it better.

not sure what the ethical choice as a consumer is, though.

i appreciated how they also showed how religion can be important for community and structure.

usually media picks one side, but benoit blanc says 'i'm an athiest, i'm uncomfortable in this church, but i do not think fools of those who attend and preach.'

between q and s

oh! yokohama kaidashi kikou has five anthology volumes in english! that's a great one for vibes and good 90s manga art!

if you think you can get away with it, '100 girlfriends who really really really really really love you' is deceptively well written, if you have high tolerance for otaku nonsense.

(i also considered 'the amazing maurice and his educated rodents' or 'wee free men' by terry pratchett, but those are word novels, and i figured it'd be better if i did comics)

for my nephews and niece, i sent 'out of boneville' and scholastic is also doing a graphic novel adaptation of animorphs.

i would've also sent yotsuba, but my local barnes&noble superglues antitheft sensors in now, ruining the manga.

'monthly girls nozaki-kun' is that rare case where i don't want the couples to get together because it's way funnier that they don't.

'komi can't communicate' is nearing its end, and was a pretty good comedy throughout.

obviously depends on their interests, but 'spy x family' and 'frieren' are two popular ongoings.

'daemons of the shadow realm' is the latest from fma's creator, though i'm still waiting for a bit the big reveal to put the plot into context.

a good boy

deserves many head pats and treats

on one hand, i kinda get it, game award seems like a legal mess.

on the other, why's the mario movie claiming copyright? that's straight up a commercial. can't we agree commercials are totally fair use?
