I’ve been downtown twice since I left that job in May 2025. Both times were for specific meals and we didn’t do any walking around. Seeing people in fatigues walking in groups of 3 just really doesn’t say “wander and explore” our tourist district. END THE OCCUPATION #memphis

Eyyy! This is seriously incredible. Thanks to all our backers for helping us hit £8469 on a £4500 target. The excess will go into issue #3. It’s never lost on us how cruddy the economy is right now, and that every penny matters more than ever - so thank you again 🙏 Now the fun begins!

Tetris in Japan, a thread: I’ve been thinking for some time now that the success of the Famicom version of Tetris and, more broadly, the popularity of Tetris in Japan owes a great deal to Sega’s arcade version. Both versions were released in December 1988, but according to Henk Rogers, the Famicom

I think this about wraps it up for the PlayStation. The only reason I bought into its ecosystem was physical discs, and with that gone, why not just buy things on Steam?

I'm so glad ZAS got a modern re-release, because I sure as hell was never going to be able to afford an original cart.

Every story in this collection is unique and interesting, with a premise you won't find anywhere else. Some are sad, most are funny, and they're all worth a read. And a lot of them are illustrated! By me! All for only $9, which is less than the price of a fast-food lunch these days. Check it out!
