This is the single instruction page my family has been directed to hand the funeral home upon my death.

In my quest to record videos of GI Joe launchers and put them online, here’s a Guile move that Capcom hasn’t brought back since Street Fighter 2

Two farmers looking at a tower. The one of the left Is pulling up on their bootstrap to no effect. The farmer on the right is using a pully system and people pulling on the rope to pull him up the tower.

Idiom Origin

“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”

This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.

A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.

This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

The Beauty Pair--er, I mean the Dirty Pair wrestling! This is based on one of the endings you can get in the game, which involves Chief Gooley firing the Lovely Angels and telling them they're better suited for pro wrestling.

Kei and Yuri riding on Mughi.

Kei and Yuri working on this yellow ship with large white eyes on the front and a grinning Yuri on the side.

Kei is scratching her head as she looks at a giant sheet of paper labeled "MAP" while Yuri looks over her shoulder.

Did you know that there was a strategy guide for the FDS game "Dirty Pair: Project Eden"? It contains some very cute original artwork!

someone should do a Kickstarter to pay larry hama to collect and annotate his photo collection with wild unexplained comments like this

Porn, 'protecting kids,' safety and security - they're wedge issues. What sound to the layman like reasonable concerns, but they're always the wedge to lever in more and more control, censorship, and NIMBY bullshit.

It's never really about safety. Ever.

As mentioned here, they produced a bunch of faux American comic book covers for a CG art magazine to promote the series. My favorite part is that they all have this fake Comics Code stamp on them.

Legislators are fundamentally metrics driven cowards. Flood them with enough calls and they will start panicking that theyre backing an unpopular issue

Mention both KOSA and the SCREEN act! Demand that they act AGAINST these bills!

The Heidi/Hanshin Tigers cookie collab is next-level

Boba Fett wearing his original prototype uniform designed by Ralp Mcquarrie. He has his helmet off and looks towards the distance with a smug smile. Boba sweats and has the likeness of Temuera Morrison. The illustration is sketchy yet tight, Boba is bathed in a reddish glow with a dark, ominous background.

Photoshop tried to corrupt this one but I'm glad I was able to save it. Prototype! Mandalorian Super Trooper armor Boba Fett with his headgear. From today's sketchbook!

Stitch of the introductory shot of Midorikawa Ranko. It exaggerates her height.

Last time I was watching this I did a rough stitch of Midorikawa's introductory shot to capture how much it emphasises her height.

This is the art Kirby drew to be included for a NASA probe, his reasoning is scary and brilliant and in the alt text.

Destro

The Objective Hell storyline is about Joes and the IGs joining forces (along with two mysterious Cobras, one of which is Deimos) to investigate a subterranean tunnel where there is a portal to Hell. Here’s the Destro from the set!

The Phantom of the Paradise

circa. 2022

Ordered the Void Rivals set on impulse and almost immediately canceled it bc maybe I don't actually need to spend $120 on a toy and a comic I already own just for the two O-Ring figures packaged with them
Having said that please release them on their own, thank you

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship!

Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors.

KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org

We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

冷やしｼｭﾏちゃん　犬に吠えられｼｭﾏちゃん

This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion.

This is hitting actual mainstream media - Visa and MC will break if this keeps up.

Frame #17009 from 50s E01-03 moontrip

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.

Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.
