The great irony of all of this is Aftermath went out of its way to trash me despite being an actual himejoshi working in media. But they’d never offer an opportunity for me to write for them now because I actually stood up to the way they bullied me and my coworkers lol

Wake Up Dead Man (2025)

The first movie I saw in the Knives Out series, I thought it was pretty good! Classical mystery story. Neat characters and some good themes; but as a whole I thought it was too long for itself and LeBlanc himself was the weak link. I expect more from detectives. Nice film!

Mark from Electric Underground had a good bit about this in his recent video about why fighting games don't work as live service; the moment you give rank "social capital" you will encourage people to exploit the system. No matter how many disconnect penalties, people will disconnect out of fear.

Insane page from the Gridman manga Gridman Dogma. In an amateur rough webcomic-ish artstyle an androgynous man crawls in a creepy way to a mother and child and stares at them intently, blood dripping from his nose, as he speaks:

"No, just now... Those awful adults were trying to do horrible things to your child, right...? It's just lucky I was nearby at the time. And, well... I chased them off, right? I basically saved your kid's life? 

So how about that? How do you feel? Are you happy? You're thankful, aren't you?!"

I liked Gridman just fine but Dogma blew it out of the fucking water. I still can't believe it's a real piece of fiction I read at all.

Have you read the really good Gridman spinoff manga by a Studio Trigger guy that was made a little after this? Gridman Dogma? It's like 12 chapters on mangadex and it's genuinely the best shit I've read in my life and it has another titledrop like this.

Exoskull Zero: Hell's Arc Song (2010)

I used to think this manga was from 2005, wtf?

The translation is not done, but it's currently in the start of its second (and final?) arc which is completely different.

The flame of humanity only burns because it'll one day be extinguished.

Peak.

Panels from the tokusatsu-inspired Takayuki Yamaguchi manga Exoskull Zero.


The heroic outcast of justice leaps through the air with a jump that destroys the ground beneath him from sheer strength. While he gracefully maneuvers his body into a kick, a burning determination in his right eye cutting through the armor, he thinks to himself:

"Though it may be a life full of suffering, we the Exoskull Warriors... are bound by duty..."

"... TO PROTECT WHAT LITTLE REMAINS!!"

The hero launches an extremely powerful dive kick, in the vein of a Rider Kick, while covered in a flaming aura. The name of the attack is shown in big kanji: RIGHTEOUS CAUSE.

I don't actually think there is a single answer to such a nuanced question, obviously. Because there's also "roguelikes get more funding from investors/publishers than a traditional arcade-style game pitch."

Gamers yearn for the arcade but game devs with no history or fundamentals just see its corrupt modern gambling-infused form.

I think SAGE is a golden standard more communities should aspire to imo. It's an incredible idea and it's stayed true to itself for years. I think it'd be cool if more scenes did their own individual little SAGES to uplift each other (like fighting games, shmups, etc)

Miyamoto: When pornography escalates, it eventually crosses into the grotesque. I think the world of "hidden secrets" in games has almost reached that same grotesque level. It's reached a point where it isn't measured by common sense anymore. It's just people getting bored and looking for stronger and stronger stimulation. We've hit a wall. When you're at the point where you have no choice but to go "grotesque," you have to start thinking of new ways to use the medium.

Itoi: But so-called arcade games have a vibe similar to gay magazines. It's a closed world, a world outsiders don't understand, where like-minded people gather as their circle shrinks. Like narrowing concentric circles. So I think it's really important that what I did this time with MOTHER went in a different direction.
