I'm writing this post for 2 reasons: 1. No one will see it 2. If they do, it explains my absence on X For the last few years & specifically this summer, I've been in & out of hospitals for a loved one I'm taking care of. Unfortunately, that's coming to an end. I may reappear & I may not. Thank you

Got some sketches done from a minute ago while I waited for ants to spawn in my bathroom so I can squash them with my index finer.

Continuing my hyper-fixation on things almost nobody cares about but also thanks to @badhumans.bsky.social for initiating this further search for anything related to Konami's 1992 X-Men arcade game, I've managed to find most, but not all, of the original artwork used for the cabinets. A thread 1/13

If you want yt videos to play in the bg, but don't want to pay for premium, try this: Start the yt video Open up Twitter app (only app tested) & play a video (sound on) After a minute, your phone should go to black--stopping the Twitter video & instead continuing the yt video in the bg.

Brian Fargo posting a high-res scan of the original 35mm slide of 1988's Neuromancer game cover got me searching the artist, Darrel Anderson, who's been a pioneer in digital art since the Atari ST days and it looks like he's done a few iterations on his self-portrait before the famous box cover.

A photo of artist Darrel Anderson in grayscale and deep contrasted shadows as only his left side (our right) is illuminated.

Seemingly the same portrait, now digitally enhanced with a lot of pixely and glitchy details with cables and wires going everywhere and the signature round glass goggle only appearing over his right eye.

Made on an Atari ST on the Spectrum 512 software by Darrel Anderson and Richard Berry, the founding members of Braid Media Arts, later also working together on the ending cyberspace sequence on the Johnny Mnemonic movie.

An even more advanced and detailed version of the game box cover art with added glitchy details and a different colorization with more purple hues.

The bottom of the image info says:
"© 1995 DARREL ANDERSON www.braid.com"

A scan of the 35mm slate of the 1988 Neuromancer video game box art, very similar to the latter 1995 version but with much more blue-tinted hues, a more analog look and a black background with a lot less detail.

And Peace Walker should have been a console game & MGSV should have been the portable game.

MGS2 is the only unfinished masterpiece.

if MGSV gets released on the switch2, doesn't that mean that team would need to revisit the Fox Engine?

Steve Ditko's Batman from Man-Bat #1 (1976). A rare pleasure. Ditko chose to keep Bruce's face in shadow when he wore the cowl. One could argue that he was one of the very few to understand the character even only drawing him once.

I've been going through old X-Men comics and I bumped into a couple of familiar panels that appear in Konami's X-Men arcade game end credits. There was no info online on which issues these panels are from so I jumped into the rabbit hole of identifying them all myself:🧵

So I'm blocked a lot on twitter. No clue why. Don't know 98% of the accounts. Mostly SH accounts. I find out, like, 2 years after the fact. By accident mind you. It's one of the oddest things because I make a point NOT to interact with people. Blocking is such a new generation defense mechanism.

so many young readers see 90s comic book art & immediately believe Rob Leifeld is the artist. I see it all the time with Platt's SH2 illustration. The 90s had A style, and seeing so many attribute the bulk of the style to Liefeld is either credit to Rob or the homogenous style.

and the worst website of 2025 goes to Comic Vine. I spent 2 hrs trying to edit my own page, verify my email, verify my account & link my gamespot account (which is a necessity now cause GS owns them). Two accounts (one deactivated) later and I still can't edit my own page. Thanks comic vine.

Jeremy Parish uploaded a 25 minute video on Castlevania: Rondo of Blood with so many inaccuracies, it's making me wonder if they used A.I. to write the script. Still cool to see Rondo featured though.

not a fan of McMuscles's stuff, it doesn't tell the full story. He ignored Toru Hagihara's contributions in SOTN. And again, recently, with the Homecoming video. It's surface deep. The best way to present information to the masses is by presenting all the facts & let people judge for themselves.

the more things change, the more they stay the same. 2001 SH2's Born from a Wish debuts on the XBOX. 2024 SH2 Remake's Born from a Wish debuts with XBOX release. Also, SHf is the Revengeance of the Silent Hill series.

i forgot to post this, or maybe i just didn't want the attention it would get; years back i found out from an ex Konami employee that there were major layoffs due to MGSV missing its fiscal year date. they gutted divisions after MGSV missed 2(?) deadlines (holiday 2014 & spring 2015).

it's pretty ridiculous how people will champion an engine because their favorite creator or game uses it. Engines don't make good games. Developers do.

I think that people who are saying that a Peace Walker remake will be coming before an MGS1 remake are thinking with their hearts. Companies don't think with their hearts.

Frank Miller's cover for Wolverine & Deadpool (with colors removed by me). Miller is using Deadpool's leg as a pattern to make Logan's arm pop. I wished Frank changed DP's upper body pose, cause his shoulder is getting lost in Wolverine & Deadpool's head needs to go through one more draft.

If Konami realizes "visibly" that they can expect to make money by publishing the books, they'll do it. I think they think there is no demand for them. But it were supposed to be released as a physical book including the episodes in the north America in the 1st place. bsky.app/profile/badh...

METAL GEAR SOLID 2では、ふたつの旗を創りました。まずはアメリカ独立革命の「自由の息子達」に蛇を重ねた旗。新川さんのスケッチを基にして、鱗に迷彩柄を施しました。この旗が登場するとき、眺めている余裕はないかもしれません… ですが、観察していると何か発見があるかもしれませんね。

I really don't want MGS1 in widescreen. It would be GREAT but-- it wasn't made with widescreen in mind. You would be able to see textures missing or if they go the Bluepoint route, the screen would be zoomed in & that's the last thing you want in MGS1. It's already hard seeing what's in front of you

The SH2 team doesn't get enough credit. 3 core members leave after the success of SH1: Naoko Sato (scenario/designer), Keiichirou Toyama (director), Isao Takahashi (art director). There wasn't enough time to study the architecture of the PS2. It's not a sequel. And yet, they still pulled it off.

Betray your audience; The motto Kojima gave when asked for advice. He leaned on that motto exclusively, leaving some natural storytelling on the cutting room floor. When you apply the same principle over and over again, it loses its specialty. Things go unnoticed or forgotten.

Fandoms & their interests follow the Bucket Rule. The further away you are from the bucket (casual fan) the more you can imagine (and allow) endless possibilities contained within the bucket. That interest isn't restricted to one medium; it can become a show, movie, radio drama.

badhumans.bsky.social @badhumans.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

The selective discourse between fan & developer is interesting. What fans choose to believe & discard from Masahiro Ito or Yoji Shinkawa depends on the passion of their headcanon. If Shinkawa says Snake is British or Blond, why is there pushback? But there isn't when describing MGS4's Raiden.

Something I like that's been carried over from V to Δ is that the character models look like animated action figures. When seeing that first TPP gameplay trailer under the Fox Engine, I saw what could be described as those army men static figures in motion. They're using the UE5 engine similarly.

badhumans.bsky.social @badhumans.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

I have a theory on why the Twin Snakes VA was more subdued than the original (and the whole series). Going by what Blaustein said about SH2's voice auditions (how it's difficult for the JP developers to catch on English vocal nuances), I think you had JP dev over Zimmerman's shoulder at all times.

Got into a debate about being able to change difficulties on the fly for MGS3 Δ. I mentioned, although it's a great option for modern games, it can't be applicable for MGS3 because of its design. For example, a difficulty switch for MGS3 would screw up the code name ranking at the results screen.
