The original 0079 anime absolutely holds up. I get why people suggest the compilation movies but I say watch ep 1 and if you like it keep going with the original.

They lock better potions behind badge or exploration progression in like all of them lol. The point of the post is that the tension between exploration, money for items, and your pokemons health is reduced in later games when they start giving you items for free

Going back to an original Pokémon game where this actually matters vs the modern ones where you're picking up infinite potions off the ground is like walking through a portal into a world that actually makes sense

Came across the anime a couple years ago, it's very well done! I liked it a ton

Not a specific piece but yours is a byline that always turned up when I found myself halfway through an article going "Wait, who wrote this again?? This is incredible!"

“What a beautiful universe, hon" says a telescope as gazes upon an aurora borealis. “It really is”, responds the telescope's partner, who it turns out is not a telescope, but a microscope. Hands full of algae, she wades waist deep in a disgusting swamp, amazed by the heavenly microscopic life all around them.

You have an incredible gift for the dialog in your comics that makes them so punchy, but also so evocative. Like the concept is really good but you might have found the perfect 3 sentences to go with it to make it feel brilliant to read.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a three-piece band is giving an interview on a couch. The members are an amoeba, a zooplankton, and a tardigrade, who is holding the microphone. They are all wearing hip clothing and/or holding beers. The tardigrade says, “we just started jamming together.” Panel 2: he continues, “within a year, we were playing sold out shows.” The band is shown playing on stage in front of an excited crowd. On stage is a drum set, a trumpet set on the ground, and an upright bass. The band members are all microscopic so you can’t see them. There is a band logo on the kick drum that’s reads: Cell Culture. Panel 3: Quincy Jones is giving an interview while lounging on a sofa. Smiling, he says, “all I knew was that these cats could swing.”

happy #makeaterriblecomicday
a digitally drawn four panel comic. the first panel shows a body of water littered with uptorn logs. the text above it reads "so the storm ripped all the trees up and blew em into the water". the second panel shows beaver-like creatures pushing these large logs through the water. the text above reads "but nature adapted, and the unique habitat created a new type of beaver". the third panel shows two people talking to one another, one with a camera asks "oh wow! and you don't find this animal anywhere else?", in the final panel, the other man replies with an image of justin timberlake.

couple new vessel pages went up over the weekend!! 💎 site: www.vesselcomic.com 📖 comicfury: vessel-comic.cfw.me #art #vessel
a crop of a digitally drawn comic page. the panels in view show a man and a woman standing near a pedestal in a dimly-lit room that's overgrown with moss. they are lit by a blue light shining from channels that run down the pedestal. in the next panel, the pedestal makes an almighty "CLUNK" sound, as the floor beneath the pair lowers slightly before quickly coming to a halt.

Geodude is my fave, because it's such a perfect example of a gen 1 cry, and whenever I hear it in a modern game it makes me so noatalgic for the early ones

edited Heathcliff cartoon.

Heathcliff the cat pauses on his way through what looks like a metal detector leading into the den of the Nutmeg home. 

At the top of the detector, beneath a flashing red beacon light, the words "Him Detector" are written.

From the den, Granny Nutmeg explains to her visiting friend, "It's him."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man in a tie looks miserable, head in hands, while sitting at a bus stop in the city. He’s thinking, “can’t believe I have work today…” Panel 2: he looks up at the city to find it ablaze, actively being destroyed by the Cloverfield monster/kaiju. Panel 3: the man looks off to the side and makes a mildly surprised expression with a cute subtle smile.

Really enjoyed this episode! My favorite part of side story has been giving the fatt crew the chance to go long on their interests in ways that wouldn't fit in a clapcast, the sports and tamagotchi eps are also good examples.

new vessel page!! 💎 www.vesselcomic.com 💎 #art #vessel
a crop of a digitally drawn comic page. a text bubble from a cropped panel reads "no one's lived there for decades though.". the visible panel show a woman in a long poncho walking up a hill-side path that curves around a grassy overhang. a nervous-looking man trails behind her, shooting glances at wooden signs that read "GO AWAY" and "KEEP OUT!!". the woman is saying "ooooooh, an abandoned tower?"

i always forget to actually flog the stuff i make instead of just posting it, but you should read my comic. it's about the human condition but some of the human conditions are animals. the kind of thing where the character interactions are the plot. and i like to think the art is good halo-head.com

HFHH is an irreverent, allegorical comedy that explores the multitudes of a person's response to trauma. i call it a “traumedy” ;)

Happy birthday!! The more I listen to APs and think about the art form as a whole the more I see how innovative and exceptional SPtB is! I think centering indie RPGs and being intentional with casting and game choice is a great direction that I hope more shows follow!

One of the weirdest things about going to a newly built or renovated airport is realizing how clean and clear it looks without this cluttering the floors and walls. All the covid signage is so ubiquitous, it feels strange when it's gone.

I think it was a genuine attempt to redeem himself but I think it was born from an underlying desire to avoid his political responsibility and just stay on the ground smashing robots against each other. Like it's helpful to be good at shooting but he had other avenues for more significant change
