Ultraman Trigger Power Type RR from Ultraman Card Game

finally got to open some Ultraman TCG packs and one of my cards is an EJ Su artwork :O

yeah that stuff always bounces off me, I have plenty to learn and experience & whenever an immortal is like "I'm so tired and bored" I always find myself thinking, wow skill issue

If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally.

Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help.

The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there.

It will help your heart.

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

Hama is beloved for good reason. He's a good guy who takes zero shit. The Joe comic may *exist* as a vehicle To Sell Toys, but come on. A lot of you are Gundam fans. You know that a work of fiction can be so much more than that, and the classic Joe comics are proof.

imo the max landis part is only barely outweighing the other quieter part where the plan is allegedly to "blend" the two scripts together under lorenzo di bonaventura's producerial purview, something that made transformers tlk a blenderized clipshow & transformers rotb a visibly bisected production

Larry Hama posted online, “I am getting messages from Comics Gaters claiming that the vast majority of my fans are in their ranks. If this is true, I truly regret the last 40 years of my work. And I have to question the clarity of my writing if so many misinterpreted what I had to say all these years.”

Larry is the best

Possibly even a picture of a card if it relates to the video! I'd say something about Synergy, but JEM still isn't in the game, alas alas~

With this video release, I can also announce a new channel sponsor helping to Feed The Machine, @transformerstcg.org! They'll be appearing once or twice a month in the usual post-review-intro sponsor spot, alongside coupon codes or other relevant announcements as timing permits.

the deck really unlocked when Lupus came out in set 3, but the 1st Form from set 2 is such good card draw 😭

(on the bright side I pulled one at the set 2 release event so technically I only need 3 more...)

I watched my 2nd gundam 🎉 because it's another that's up for free on youtube

Iron Blooded Orphans was pretty good stuff! I caught slices and scents of decade-old discourses throughout comment sections and some side conversations

now I just wish the tcg deck wasn't so built around 4x 1st Form...

That syndication deal with Tubi sure feels like one last chance to back up everything toon fans may want to revisit. Same with CN/WBTV uploading their years belated round of new Cartoon Cartoon pilots. Trying to do creatives a solid so at least they can build some hype, maybe get a chance elsewhere.

gonna put it out there that the collective may want to ensure as many of their shows as possible are backed up and archived offsite and offrecord

imagine that a visual language is more or less being invented when you look at things like this and it is so amazing and inspiring

yo this RULES I love George Méliès stuff, he was doing such cool stuff for what was essentially uncharted territory

this recovered piece has such a cool jumpcut trick as its ending, for the period

yeah there was a fairly proper full-on "until next time" stage show + messaging to close out Gozyuger's run

the current rumblings I am aware of are that toei want to pivot to build something more organically interconnected, with room for second seasons with the same cast, and etc

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

he's really working something for me with the long mario energy

hopefully everyone puts in good hard work to make it cheap and easy for me to get one ✨

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Another year, another plea for help from someone whose work is the basis for a $200m blockbuster movie.

RD Saber Athena is sold, everything else is still there 🙌

open to offers & tfcon toronto pickups btw

it's not up for free on youtube 😭

UPDATE

We've been struggling to get her to eat again, so she can be transferred to a facility close to home. We're relying on FMLA now, risking everything financially, and won't be leaving until she transfers. Without us here between the weekends she wouldn't eat or talk at all.
