I can't even begin to imagine what your loss must feel like. It's okay to be sad and not be okay with it all of the time. Always here if you need anything 🫡

Fantastic Four was an okay watch but certainly not something I'd shout about. It actually reminded me of the early phase 1 films.

That's some very nice 8-bit pixel art for someone who's not a pixel artist haha

I'm not sure we even needed clarification on this 😆 Can't it just be a "will they, won't they" Ross and Rachel on Friends moment 😂

I think this was a case where classic fans brought it but parents didn't 😆

Sonic Mania (2017) only sold 1 million Vs Sonic Superstars that sold 2.43m. It becomes apparent why Sonic Mania 2 will never be a thing.

a transformer says one shall stand one shall fall ALT: a transformer says one shall stand one shall fall

Does knowing every line of Transformers: The Movie (1986) by heart give me a competitive advantage in the job market? Asking for a friend. #Transformers1986 #NerdSkills #JobSearch #80sKids #AutobotsRollOut

I wasn't keen on the trailer it looked goofy. Not my kinda movie but I gave it a chance after missing out on a Transformers One. A good chuck of comic book Superman readers will be pished about the change in lore but I wasn't particularly bothered by it.

Currently eating my own words ... The new Superman was really good 😁

** Sega Genesis S.O.T.A update **
30 FPS video kills a few things I'd like to show here , oh well I can show this one at least .
The vid shows some secret room dissolving into view and uses Shadow mode for a mid transition transparency effect.
Some other bits in notes below ..
