Embargoed trailer so I'm not going to grumble about the game but I can say that any time I see this type of run animation I die on the inside. Stop it, it's stupid! Let your character have some dignity rather than being defined by a trope refined beyond the point of anything any human has ever done.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Tokyo Fears Rhapsody but had been curious. Turns out it’s a goofy-ass manga that I can’t quite call shonen-parody, but maybe? Definitely falls under being a guilty pleasure.

In other news, the first two episodes of May I Ask For One Final Thing? are out and yeah, that's a fun one!
Made my wife an avatar of the main character, although it's a bit sepia due to being a flashback.

Ah, so that's why the news articles are saying @hamishsteele.bsky.social's Dead End: Paranormal Park is a kids show. It's rated TV-Y7 because there's no blood, swearing, or nudity in it. That doesn't mean the storylines are kid-oriented, just that it tells them without harsher content.

I don’t want to have to talk about today’s giant steps to fascism, or state that I’m antifa, or reiterate that Israel <3s genocide. I want to talk about whatever messy eater disemboweled a pine cone on my back porch railing.
