I just had to share that idea with you since I couldn’t keep it to myself. I hope you’re doing well and enjoying life. Take care :)

Like in between RE2 and RE4, he puts him through his paces so he’s “rescue the President’s daughter” level of skilled, and just kept pushing him with badass training exercises in between games. Now he’s jumping off skyscrapers on a motorcycle, parrying rocket launchers, and got married.

Leon went from being an early 20’s pretty boy to being a middle aged, grizzled badass. I imagine a joke about the federal government asking the commander to help train the young Kennedy and he came up with the “Bishounen rehabilitation program”.

@coelasquid.bsky.social Hey Kelly, I’ve been following the Resident Evil Requiems and I keep thinking back to your webcomic “Manly Guys Doing Manly Things”. I keep picturing the Commander catching up with Leon Kennedy, now close to 50, and telling him how proud he is for how far he’s come.

I remember this ad in Gamepro.
A pissed off image of Hangman Page saying "In Texas Death, I have no conscience," only now it's a magazine ad for Kirby's Avalanche.

This is why you don’t do hot takes or reactions based entirely on feelings and wishing on a star. When it comes to the risks of making a fool of yourself on the Internet in a video you made, the only way to win is to not play.

It’s taken me years to learn when and when not to act, and how to act properly in complex and difficult situations. And even then, I’m not perfect. Andy has made peace with his past and his ex, and I wish the world would just let him live in peace.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
I was in my 20’s. I was younger, more naïve, and wanted to do more to help him because I thought he was being wronged. Problem is that, in the long run, I’m just a random person on the Internet who likes the work he does. I’m not a close friend nor have I ever met him in person.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
It’s tough because I want the best for people, and regardless of whatever he’s done in the past, he never deserved the constant harassment. I also have to be very careful when responding to people because if I let my anger get the better of me, I’ll get dragged in and things become more complicated
010
OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
I didn’t because it’s not my place to interfere. I’m not a lawyer and I don’t want to do anything that would make the situation worse for Andy or for me either. It was frustrating as all get out to watch, and the best I could do was point out logical fallacies from the nay-sayers.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
They asked for valid sources. They asked for any evidence that any legal action was taken. They asked for any substantial proof to back up the claims people were making. And they couldn’t do it. I could have found the original things that were written ages ago, but I didn’t.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
Then they start grabbing the torches and pitchforks, and all hell breaks loose. But I did see one thing this time that didn’t happen before. More people were willing to believe Andy and take his side; more than I’ve ever seen in the past.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
Can’t say. If the debacle didn’t happen, then I’d be able to say that everything was fair and square. But it drives me nuts that random people will hound him for things he was never accused of doing. They just take Kiwi Farms or some other random person as a legitimate source.

It sucks you didn’t make it to the Final 6, but I’m glad you made it as far as you did. Let’s look forward to the new game!

Thank you. The recent conundrum, which I think is the same one you’re thinking of, made me remember our conversations from before and the lessons I learned from them.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
I had no idea, and still have no idea, how much of what Andy or his ex said was true. I do recall it seemed like an airing of very dirty laundry and thought that was uncalled for at the time. But then the harassment campaign started and things got blown way out of proportion.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
And since I was, and still am, a fan, I was around when he and his ex were living together and from what I could tell online, things were going well between them, When the breakup happened, I remember what his ex posted; sharing very personal details that I still remember, but won’t repeat here.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
I’m more of an acquaintance really. I’ve never met him in person; and even though my profile icon was made by him, that was from an attempt at doing something at Blistered Thumbs a long time ago (circa 2012). But I’ve been a fan of his work since I was in High School and he was on Newgrounds.

I’m trying to remember where we were the last time we talked about this sort of thing. I remember we got into a heated discussion, but I can’t remember the details or find the old chat logs. It’s been years. I still appreciate that you followed me and hope I can continue to be a decent person.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
When this all happened yesterday, I was honestly very worried about your well being. I’m glad you’re standing up for yourself and I’ve cast my vote for you, so I’m still wishing you the best to make the Top 6 for the final judging from the devs. But I too felt so aggravated seeing this ghost again

I recently began doing some experiments over there. I always see various accounts posting “do you regret your vote” questions and the myriad “No I don’t regret! Bestest President ever! LOL!” responses. Turns out all of them, the questions and responses, are foreign accounts and/or bots.

I don’t watch any NBC news programs, but I am disappointed and very agitated at their actions. Looks like the work you’re doing now is more important than ever. You might even want to reach out to those from NBC BLK to see if they’d be interested in joining forces or something?

I didn’t say he had earned my vote; I said I’d be more *inclined* to if he signed those bills. I hope he comes around, but if not, I hope someone who hasn’t expressed transphobic sentiments in the past like he has can have the same energy and drive to make a stand. People really need that now.

I think it's a cool bridge to have a nationally syndicated newspaper comic seen next to legacy comics like Garfield, Blondie, and Peanuts, and ALSO say I've collaborated with the likes of ToeJam & Earl, Scott the Woz, Eddsworld, Lofi Girl, Choctopus, etc.

My wife is the strongest woman I know who not only put ups with me, but so much other stuff that the fact that she still stands and carries practically her entire family on her back amazes me. I won’t go into details, but I adore Frankie and whatever you have planned canonwise for her, I’m in!

If they are bots, then hopefully @support.bsky.team and @safety.bsky.app can help identify and block them from starting ridiculous drama. Frankly, I love what you did with Frankie and making her the way she is. She reminds me of my wife and I love that!

@danaterrace.bsky.social It boggles my mind how people could jump to conclusions based on what you said about your own character in your own story. Honestly, I’m wondering if some of those were bots out to cause trouble and not actual people (but then got real people involved)

Now, I may not understand the importance or significance of AB 1084. All I know of it was what I just read about in the call to arms message. If you think that one is just as critical as the others, then I will stand corrected.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 28/09/2025
The other four, however, provide essential protections: requiring a warrant for law enforcement to access certain private medical information, protecting people from health insurance companies denying medically necessary care, and protecting individual identities in court proceedings.
140
OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 28/09/2025
Most of these look like they’d be broad enough protections that passing them shouldn’t be too big an issue. AB 1084 might be too narrow that he vetoes that one, but if he vetoed that one and passed the other four, I’d be happy since 1084 is just a red tape issue. (1/2)

I just sent him an email. I’m not a Californian, but my wife and I have been following his actions against the current federal administration. My wife would like to see him run for President, and I told him if he passes these bills, I’d be more enthusiastic to vote and openly endorse him.

Whether this has any impact on new projects or existing properties, and what kind of impact that may be, I don’t know. However, seeing Arabic nations investing in Japanese IPs (like Samurai Pizza Cats and UFO Robo Grendizer) makes me scratch my head.

OtakuMan @otakuman.bsky.social · 27/09/2025
The developers are a studio based in the Netherlands: Blast Zero. But I believe their funding and backing for making this game is coming straight from Red Dunes Games. I’m no expert in the politics or culture of the Arabic world right now, but I did find this interesting.
