Good day! You look reasonably sane! What are you doing in the Catacombs? Are you a cleric or something? Yes, I guessed as much. Well, here's a tip. There's a stash of treasure right down that hole.

this is such a fun little horror moment in metroid 2. absolutely perfect use of the gameboy's memory limits: you want to get some space between you and the surprise metroid, but the hole you shot to get here has already filled with sand again. you're trapped.

Two things are dawning on me: • 1) 99% of media analysis video essayists, right or left, are—to the marrow of their bones—abjectly terrified of ambiguity, paranoid any gap can be seized by the other as ammunition in the culture war. The leftist version is pointing at…

What goes on in Judge Dredd

$A fraction of a black and white comic book panel from 2000AD Judge Dredd. A humanoid robot with a TV head (back to 'camera') shows a rubber duck to a punk looking woman at a merchant stand that reads 'NAMES PRINTED'. The robot is saying: 'I'd like Judge Dwedd's name pwinted on this wubber duck, please.'$

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

I will forever admire Wendell Berry's insistence on living his values through to their natural conclusions and relentlessly ripping through layers of politeness and habit to hold up for judgment those who do not.

Questionnaire
by Wendell Berry

to eat for the success of the free
market and global trade? Please
name your preferred poisons.

For the sake of goodness, how much
evil are you willing to do?
Fill in the following blanks
with the names of your favorite
evils and acts of hatred.

What sacrifices are you prepared
to make for culture and civilization?
Please list the monuments, shrines,
and works of art you would
most willingly destroy

In the name of patriotism and
the flag, how much of our beloved
land are you willing to desecrate?
List in the following spaces
the mountains, rivers, towns, farms
you could most readily do without.

State briefly the ideas, ideals, or hopes,
the energy sources, the kinds of security;
for which you would kill a child.
Name, please, the children whom
you would be willing to kill.

Kirby’s X-Men work was mostly autopilot but there are two classically Kirby ideas still at the core of the mythos: 1) The Sentinels — Flourishing human diversity and creativity (i.e. “mutants”) opposed by the brutal forces of blank-faced homogeneity 2) The Juggernaut — A Guy Is Coming Right At You

Our boy Rolo passed last year. Tons of kids in the neighbourhood knew Rolo from when my dad used to pick my sister up at school. They weren't her peers. Every halloween we'd get tons of kids knocking at our door who would ask for Rolo by name. Neither my dad nor my sister knew who they were.

One of my favourite things in urban fantasy lit is when an author likes the IDEA of wizard boarding school drama, but wants to avoid getting Harry Potter stink on them and tries to do that by just inverting all the stuff they regard as problematic, and in so doing independently reinvents the X-Men.

marvel tokon on pc is still as locked down as it was during the beta - no linux. there is NO WAY to play the game on linux because it actively refuses through both eac and theia - no modding. no potato mod, no hitbox images, no recolors. - no model rips. no funny fan animations damn it sony.

Kaius ⛔ @kaius.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

by the way, the reason TOKON is having performance issues on some PCs is because of Theia anti-tamper, which causes unnecessary CPU load because it actively decrypts game code as it's running it's nothing to do with graphics settings. pls be vigilant about this when leaving a review

Sony closing down PS3 store support sucks but I'm seeing people say "This is why it's bad we don't have physical media anymore!" when even on the PS3, the amount of degradation you get from JUST using original disks is huge. Physical media doesn't help if you don't own the actual game it represents.
