There's a fan patch that fixes it but it's annoying to have to do it

Sure, just putting a primary source on it rather than rumor.

When you praise your favourite comic but only single out the writer, maybe don’t do that because a comic only works if the art and lettering works, too.

Every month TV Magazine ran a contest, giving away toys provided by the companies.

These were colorful fold-out spreads with an overwhelming number of robot toys. Interestingly, the images used were often prototypes.

Nothing really worth translating, so just enjoy some pictures of robots.

Here's a thread about my old improv and podcast group, The Mustache Rangers.

I keep adding on to the thread, but it doesn't update folks because there's a reply in there, so you only see the thread if you follow the person who replied.

Anyway, check it out. I always thought it was fun.

Finally have, in my collection, a Dixie’s Diner by Tyco. It is quite lovely.

Cool, why did you change it

About a decade ago, we were going to do a Kickstarter for a Mustache Rangers video webseries. We had a director, set location, designs figured out. I'd been doing everything, same as with our podcast. Making a studio to record, editing, scheduling, building the website, promoting.

Cookie's Bustle A website trying to make Cookie's Bustle, a 90s obscure japanese game, more accessible. Downloads, how to install, FAQ, subtitles, guides & more !

now seems like a fantastic time to mention that while all of the dmca shit was going down, someone put out a fully playable english translation of cookie's bustle! even runs on modern windows (as long as you install quicktime v6.5.2, which is not what the game comes with)! cookies-bustle.net

NP! I also found after I finished watching it it was partially funded by the same murderous prince involved in EA, SNK, etc...

I did think some of the robots were cool, especially the upgraded Mazinger at the end.

Koji was like Mazinger Infinity. Which is to say, nothing like he was in the original Mazinger manga, or the '70s anime. Or Mazinkaiser/Shin Mazinger. He's just a polite adult where Koji is supposed to be a punk ass kid with no respect for authority who does the right thing despite being an asshole.

The women were also boring and badly written but it's not the same as completely missing that Duke's whole deal is he's moody and withdrawn with massive survivor's guilt. Duke is supposed to brood!!

Also there is a "Duke is forced into a marriage by a woman who is not actually who she's pretending to be" thing that is like inches from a "Duke is raped" story and it's treated like NBD...

I watched it. Uhm there was some interesting stuff in it but I didn't like how either Duke Fleed or Koji were written. They are not supposed to be bland polite good boys! Also the animation was iffy.

About 10 years ago I gave away my original big PS2 in favor of the slim! It's also really cute! Every Nintendo Wii is little but it's kind of a boring rectangle so it's somehow not that cute. Doesn't have much personality, I guess.
