every ai bro who has reduced miyazaki to empty gentle aesthetic should no exaggeration get the judas cradle bc this man's markmaking & passion about telling WAR STORIES

Whenever someone uses Ghibli or Miyazaki as a synonym for "quaint, charming, unthreatening" I'm always like "bro did we watch the same movies?"

You cannot have "discourse" with people bent on your destruction.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

Also, this is why Titanfall 2 multiplayer has yet to be topped. As it provided the space needed to take advantage of the game's mobility and weapons, instead of corralling you in a tiny box.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Also, CoDBLOPs 7 doesn't seem as fun as Cold War. The only other CoD I ever put any real time into its multiplayer.

This is why I pretty much only play the Warzone mode, its much more fun when you have space to maneuver and plan. And people don't just respawn behind you.

Playing the CoD Black Ops 7 Open Beta, and I can never get over how everything about these games suck, except for the feel of actually shooting other players. These maps are not made for the level of firepower and mobility being offered, and do not even get me started on the inane respawn system

Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, heโ€™s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

HOW DID DRACULA GET RICH?

Dracula made a fortune off of Frankenstein's feet without his permission and he is a disgusting piece of garbage for that

So far I have noticed in the Absolute Universe not any Black Characters or Queer Characters in this in addition to just being a Joyless , hopeless edgy mess .
Like where is Batwoman, Vixen , Nubia , Black Lighting,
Static Shock, John Henry Irons/ Steel, Natasha Irons , Rene Montoya, Midnighter

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

A series of panels from the 2000 AD comic ABC Warriors with Blackblood demanding to know the real identity of 'General Public' and getting frustrated when he can't get an answer.

A series of panels from the 2000 AD comic ABC Warriors with Blackblood demanding to know the real identity of 'General Public' and getting frustrated when he can't get an answer.

This is a deep cut that only 2000 AD heads are going to get, but Trump and crew tying to root out 'Antifa' as some kind of centralized origination is just like ABC Warrior's Blackblood desperately trying to root out the perpetual thorn in his side, 'General Public'.

Oh yeah, I love this one too. But I think Covenant really dropped the ball on the themes this movie was cooking with.

I'm not sure what the general consensuses on Star Trek Beyond is, but IMO it's my second favorite Trek film after Undiscovered Country. Which seems like a non typical top 2.

Crux 10 (Crossgen - Feb 2002)

Writer: Mark Waid
Artists: Steve Epting/Rick Magyar

Steve Epting was drawing out of his mind on Crux in the 2000s. One of the earliest expansion Crossgen titles, Crux kind of got lost in the shuffle after Waid left after one year, but every issue was gorgeous.

This right now is another golden era of @2000ad.bsky.social and Henryโ€™s a huge part of why that isโ€”and yes, itโ€™s time you started reading the Prog again. Get it on the app if you canโ€™t get to the newsstand / are far from the UK

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.
