A photo of Alan Moore and Jack Kirby. Thanks to the angle, Alan, an actual wizard, appears to be twice the height of Jack.

This is my Gandalf and Bilbo.

How come none of you told me that this line was in this movie and that Frank Langella wrote it

He's not wrong.

A twitter post explaining how you can “save PNGs to birds” by converting a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram then playing it to a starling who sung it back, reproducing the PNG.

Can’t wait to introduce bird-based storage into my backup system

"There are three kinds of magic," said Wizzler, handing us each a balloon. "You can control tigers, you can shoot tornadoes from your fingers, or you can fly by holding your breath. The color of confetti inside your balloon will reveal which kind of power you have." I felt the panic rising in me. What if my confetti turned yellow, indicating that I was a Tiger-Talker? My family, a long line of proud Tornado-Fingers, would disown me. Could I ever return home, bearing such shame? I tried to calm myself as I readied the ceremonial safety pin. Green, I thought, willing my hopes into reality. Please be green. I popped the balloon, involuntarily shutting my eyes. When I opened them, would I see the green I hoped for? The yellow I feared? What if, gods forbid, the confetti were blue? I opened my eyes, seeing shock on the faces of my classmates. Wizzler himself stared at me, wide-eye. Looking down, I saw myself covered in confetti... purple confetti.

“I don’t understand,” I growled, my body trembling with pain. “I combined eighty percent Earth-elemental mana with twenty percent Fire-elemental mana (Type B), focused through a twenty-four-sided icositetragon made of yellow topaz. This, in conjunction with my blood type, star sign, sense of humor, and nickname, should have produced a blazing column of lightning to vaporize my enemies. Instead, it made a big bubble that smells like fresh laundry. Why?” Skullgrumbler began to laugh. “You fool! You don’t even realize…” he squealed. “You’re facing east!”

“It’s whatever you want,” explained Magemaster Grampledog. “Magic is just whatever you want.” I knew he was speaking in riddles, but I couldn’t grasp his hidden meaning. “So the rules are…” Grampledog lit a sliver of smokereed. “No rules. You say some words and you wave a stick and whatever you want just happens. You don’t even need the stick.” His wisdom still eluded me. I stared into his face, trying to decipher what he was really saying. “No, listen.” Grampledog snapped his fingers and his desk turned into a pile of chicken nuggets. “I didn’t even know that would happen.” His hat then came alive and began to yodel. “It’s pandemonium,” he explained. “It’s complete nonsense.”

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

THE MISSUS — MY GORGEOUS BABE — DRAWN IN A FOXHOLE Feb. '44 France

I already thought this pencil portrait Jack Kirby did of his wife Roz was great but then I read the caption: "A drawing of Mrs. Kirby done, from memory, on the back of a piece of German stationery picked up off a dead enemy soldier." DAAAAMMMMNNN!

Ok, so what if Jimmy Olsen wears hypno-contact lenses?

Tatu & Patu und die verrückte Unterlassungsklage.

There was a time in pop culture when almost every show or comic had a little quasi-omnipotent imp character that only our hero could see and I‘m glad we’re moving back in that direction as a society,

For years, the game sat on our shelf. Until a couple of weeks ago, when I suddenly felt the urge to finish it. This time, something clicked. I actually had fun. And now I‘m really enjoying Death Stranding 2, a much more complete and interesting game than its predecessor. Kojima, I‘m back!

Furthermore, the game was too stressful for me. I had just become a dad and was handling a crying baby all day. Having a crying baby strapped to my chest in the game as well was simply too much to take. 2/3

I‘m a big Kojima fan but my first experiences with Death Stranding back in 2019 were pretty rough. I didn’t get the gameplay, the controls felt awkward, and the story was borderline incomprehensible (even for Kojima‘s standards.) 1/x
