No more animation landlords The recent (re)announcement of Warner Bros. acquisition is but one representation of how corporate higher ups have made poor custodians for the art.

Listen closely to @kambole.bsky.social: no more animation landlords.

All I want for my birthday is for everyone who sees this to buy #TheMangaBible or borrow it from their local library. If you buy it from an indie bookstore or bookshop.org that's even better because it shares the love even further.

I’m having a great time

also while there’s the threat of losing stuff, you pick things up just as quickly, my vault has been overflowed for the last 3 runs

just had a run go IMMEDIATELY sideways because we got jumped by the bots on the map and then more when one teammate activated an objective lol

took all health kits to survive, was a very tense run from then on (we got some reason played out the time limit after that, got out in extra time)

MARATHON is actually so sick, presentation going a long way but combat feels *great*, very tense without the player encounters feeling offputting, the PvE stuff is surprisingly challenging too

none of this was ever going to be good, but certainly this is categorically the greater of two evils

The Moment review – it's not that easy being green Charli XCX stars as a fictionalised version of herself in Aidan Zamiri's debut, telling the mostly, sort of, kind of true story of 2024's brat summer.

Forgot to share my review of the moment but i think my subhead deserves recognition lwlies.com/reviews/the-...

Evangelion, like all source material, is untouchable A new Neon Genesis Evangelion is fine and dandy, no matter the outcome.

Bit late to sharing this one as I caught a nasty bug and have been stuck in bed, but: Evangelion is going to be just fine.
