Kamudo vol 1 laying on a wooden desk. The colorful cover features a demi-dragon boy holding a sword.

Kamudo 1 flipped open to a color page, laying on a wooden desk. The color page shows a young man standing in front of an erupting volcano, with the sound effects “GWOOO” and “DM DM DM DM” around him

Kamudo laying on a wooden desk, opened up to a black and white page. The page shows a group of dragons standing around a large shell that’s cracked open. In the next panel, the baby with a dragon hand who emerged from the shell is wailing “WAAAAAAHH”

The physical release for Kamudo vol 1 by Akira Himekawa is out now! Letters by me, translation by David Evelyn 💖
The cover is matte with spot gloss, and the book features color pages!!

Doing my best (although it's been a relentless month and some). 😅

うわぁぁぁ、凄く嬉しいです✨
伝えてくれてありがとうございます！これからも頑張ります💪

Physically AND mentally

Flier advertising to come for an オーラチェック体験会 (a session to get your 'aura' checked/tested). Aura is checked through some machine called オーラQ (Aura-Q) that supposedly reads the trace electric signals coming off of you to determine the state of your aura. This test is followed by a 60-minute yoga session to "rebalance your mind and body." Session cost: ¥1000 Location: near Nagoya Station

Most fliers/ads that hit my mailbox go straight to the trash on sight, but I had to take a photo of this one to share first.

"Come and get your aura tested"?
Really?
Really???

And apparently, it's a lead-in to a yoga session to correct your aura.

No.
Just... No.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

イーロン・マスクについては、Twitterのやりすぎとクスリ（ケタミンなど）の両方の影響とも言われています。加えて過剰な注目、役職、資産のストレスもあるかもしれず。なのでイーロンやトランプはブレインロットよりさらに悪いなにか、かもしれません。

PLA had its rough spots, but it was basically everything I've ever wanted to do in a Pokemon game. I don't expect Z-A to be enough of the same from the few reveals, but I hope it'll still be fun in its own right.

[Anime Central 2025] An Interview with Pili, the Puppet Studio Behind Thunderbolt Fantasy At Anime Central 2025, I received an opportunity to interview Pili, the Taiwanese studio that co-produced Thunderbolt Fantasy. I hope that fans of Thunderbolt Fantasy, fans of Pili, and anyone curious about unique media and entertainment can learn from the in-depth answers they gave. 1) Taiwan has a celebrated tradition of puppet theater, something that is likely unfamiliar to much of the English-speaking audience.

This said, there's something uplifting about wrestling with the fear of admitting to a group chat that you've been struggling with your mental health and the effective group leader replying that the group is a safe space if/when I feel comfortable enough to share. 🥲

That Jeopardy skit on SNL with Bad Bunny was a metacommentary on immigrant/minority life: you have the capabilities, but you don’t get credit due to some random rule you don’t fully understand, and someone else seizes on your solutions and profits from them. Also, the condescension.

I hate when I'm not in a position to support artists because the reading model is coin per chapter (Tappytoon). 😭

we've entered a dark era where hidive's janky-ass selection of like six very ungood fonts and small handful of colors now makes for the best anime-watching experience on the market, for all of ~3 new shows they pick up each season

Good to see this topic catch attention. I will have more to say (and reveal) on the subject soon!

With the release of Digimon Story: Time Stranger & its user numbers starting out VERY strong on Steam, I'd like to remind everyone that it was developed by Media.Vision, who also worked on The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy earlier this year.

2025 has been an incredible year for them.

It’s important to note that having typeset subtitles was very operationally expensive for them, requiring to encode every language with burned in subs as separate videos. There is no good way to support “soft” typeset subs on anything other than a computer.

Logically, I get that.
Emotionally, I still go, "Goodness, what are these kids doing?"

When I first started learning the game, nothing felt more like someone making rules up than damage on the stack. I got used to it, but I was so happy when it got removed in the M10 rules update.
