Reading a manga called "Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games". Enjoying it so far, but I saw this panel and immediately had to make a dumb edit and now this should be a reaction image for anytime you see women do cool things.

Our staff and partners had an amazing time Playing With Posters all of last weekend at the Get On My Level #eSports tournament!
It was a delight to meet the #GOML community, show our 35 amazing posters, and teach people about video game history! See you next exhibit!

I only went for one day last year, but I had my girlfriend in tow for the first time AND we saw so many amazing cosplays.
My annual #cosplay albums have returned chronicling my experiences of yesteryear!

Lately, I've been getting back into photo editing from my adventures last year, starting Anime North 2024. Hoping I can get this done before next month's con.
I really love bringing photos to life and giving them the bombastic colours & personality they deserve, especially for the difficult photos.

My love of the original version is so well known that the day this remaster was announced I had both my friends and students pinging me about it.
I cannot wait to make time for this later. Favourite RPG of all time. 😍
