The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am

A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Nintendo is doing well right now while XBOX and PlayStation are going through a rough patch (a 180 from 10y ago), but make no mistake, this is bad news for everyone, developers and players, no matter what system you use. The 3 ecosystems gain from the other ones being healthy.

The whole point of digital is to facilitate duplication, distribution and storage of products, not to remove customers rights. There’s a thing called DRM-free version where you do in fact own it as long as you keep it safe.

Now that I’ve had a day to process it, I think I can say: Coyote vs Acme will be one of the year’s 5 best films, no question. It respects what made the OG cartoons great. Improves on them by bringing them up to date, giving them an emotional core, and a clear-eyed reflection of current reality.

Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

On this final #PSBlackout day I present 100+ Physical PS Games but more importantly 100 good memories. Unwrapping a gift. A package on the porch. Passionate Small talk with store owners. Cosplay compliments from a con vendor. Some of these games disappointed, but receiving them never did.

A living room floor covered in rows of PlayStation games. There are 14 PS2 Games, 30 PS3 games, 50 PS4 games, 13 PS5 games and 9 PSP games, making 116 games if the poster counted correctly. All with a unique story of when and how they were acquired. In the far back there is a makeshift PlayStation jail with a sign reading #PSBlackout on it

CJ Heckfire @cj-heckfire.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

To the left: New PS5 games. To the right: Used PS5 games. Sony thinks that both of these piles should be 0 because I didn’t hand my money directly to them for an intangible object with the TOS saying “We can take this back whenever and you can’t do shit” #PSBlackout

A sign reading #PSBlackout hangs in front of a makeshift PS jail. In front are 2 groups of PS5 games sorted. Left is games the poster bought new the right is used. There is 1 game in the used category (Spiderman Miles Morales) and 12 in the new. Astrobot, Beyond Good and Evil 20th anniversary edition, Hi Fi Rush Definitive Edition, Lollipop Chainsaw Repop, Once Upon a Katamari, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, RoboCop Rogue City, RoboCop Rogue City Unfinished Business, Scott Pilgrim EX, Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered, Sonic X Shadow Generations, and Sonic Racing Crossworlds

I put NMH3 on my Xmas list without knowing much about it. I got the Day One edition. Did I want an art book, soundtrack and more for a game I haven’t played? Well I loved it, and all the Suda51 games I’ve played since. The only Digital PS5 game I have is RiaDM and I need it physical. #PSBlackout

A shody PlayStation jail because apartment maintenance sucks. A sign that reads #PSBlackout hangs above a PS4 copy of No More Heroes 3 next to the musical selections CD that was included with the Day One edition. The rest of the Day One goodies are at the poster's parent's house and could not be included in the photo.

RE Xbox disc-to-digital: It's fine for what it is, but everybody celebrating this as actual support for physical games or even game preservation has obviously learned nothing from the past two Xbox generations and their lies and smoke screens. Don't be fooled again!

Xbox games on a PlayStation. When my Hi-Fi Rush pre-order came I thought “Xbox is so stupid, they’d saw off their legs for a short term profit” That’s still true but now applies to Sony as well. Many indie physical releases had a PS version but not Xbox, it was one of its strengths #PSBlackout

3 PlayStation consoles stuck unceremoniously underneath and beside a bookshelf full of games behind a wire rack with a sign reading #PSBlackout on it. In front are a PS4 copy of Psyconauts 2 and a PS5 copy of Hi-Fi Rush Definitive Edition.

I was talking about my interest in playing Gravity Rush with a long distance friend. A week later a package showed up with this GR2 inside. I noticed it was PEGI but I had failed to notice it was the Nordic region box for a good month. We had a good laugh about “Bryt Gravitasjonsloven” #PSBlackout

A makeshift console jail with a sign on it that reads #PSBlackout. In front of it a PS4 copy of Gravity Rush 2 with a PEGI 12 rating

The back of the GR2 box displaying info blurbs in Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian. "Bryt Mottyngdlagen" "Bryd Tyngdeloven" "Riko Painovoiman Lait" "Bryt Gravitasjonsloven"

When Usagi was announced as DLC for Shredder’s Revenge I was hyped. I got a used copy of the base game shortly before they announced the upgraded disc. I traded in the first game and used the credit to pre-order the new one. While it meant waiting, I got the Rabbit Ronin on the cover. #PSBlackout

The PS3 was the first Xmas console for me and my brother along with these games. He did a lot of the heavy lifting in LBP2 but a bad jump left me alone late into the final boss battle. I managed to stay alive and land the final blow. While this isn't that PS3 these are those games. #PSBlackout

A row of PS3 games sit in front of a makeshift jail for PS systems. The games are Little Big Planet 2 Special Edition, Ratchet & Clank HD Collection, inFamous and inFamous2.

Made a console jail for #PSBlackout I love my PS(s) but Sony's complete disregard of physical media and consumer rights is inexcusable, and will only kneecap the greater gaming industry. Each day I will also share some of my collection to show how physical games are more than just data on a disc
