This is the most colonizer shit I've heard in a long time. The art was already here, you navel-gazing tosspots. You ain't discovered nothing.

So proud of my #DiabloIV team. We have put years of our lives into building this world, and building to this moment. It is now our honor to share it with all of you. Thank you for taking this journey with us!

The Fryno Therapy sketch was started at Vicarious Visions by the Narrative and Cinematic team. We wanted to play with the toys we created in unexpected ways. Our experiment kicked off a whole set of these vignettes. (Including 1 never released!) This has been a #Skylanders Fact
Fryno of Skylanders Swap force points at an annoying fly as he tries to do well in anger management therapy.

Wow. What a waste of a great character so far. This card is straight trash and has more ways to make it useless than useful. Hoping for a patch that makes him cool. #MarvelSnap
Spider-Man Noir card for Marvel Snap. He is a 4/6 pile of trash.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

Haven't had a birthday party in at least... 15 years? And haven't dressed up for Halloween since the Marvel vs DC party at work in 2019. This year will be different. This year, Disco is making a comeback.

This some bullshit.
A "discard" deck in Marvel Snap that suddenly has Magic, Wong and Luke Cage? (To counter every card in the deck I'm playing.)

Me watching all the backpedaling and rationalizing happening on a different part of the internet. Of course they were all paid shills, sweetie. They just chose not to pay them for those other movies. It totally makes sense. Worldview remains intact! #Superman2025

Nothing like watching the #MarvelSnap Bot "thinking" on turn 6, trying every possible card combination, before throwing the single card that can immediately turn the tide by playing the Arnim Zola that had no business in the deck. Then loading into Monster Island to screw your Cerebro. *sigh*

MARVELSNAP: "We pre-craft all of these decks and do not adjust them based on the game or cards we are facing. ALSO MARVEL SNAP: "What... this is a totally normal set of cards to be together."
A board shows an egregiously ridiculous deck with Sunspot, Sif, Professor X and Wave.

Finished the first pass of blocking out BattleMex #3. Which is great! Now I have to cut 3-5 pages. (Which is fooey for me, great for Stefano) But here is one of our new stickers too.

"I wasn't representing anybody except for me... and doing good." Saying Superman is hard to write because he's so powerful frames every conflict around power levels and metrics. But the magic of this character was outlined quite clearly in 1978.
Superman is helped out of a crater by an onlooker. Superman looks to the sky.

I have a 786 day streak on #Duolingo and I didn't hesitate to delete my account over this shit. I can't do a lot to fight this, but I won't throw my money at them.

The message that plays in my head whenever I see more generated bullshit and people defending it. This is literally someone in a cave, doing this shit from memory, 30,000 years ago... making you look sad and weak. Weak.

If the reason for not having an auto-mute in #MarvelSnap was really about player "communication" there would be a preponderance of communication emotes like the fist bump. Rather than monetizing different ways to be a douche.

Today's #SkylanderFact is that I once met the very awesome @jpkarliak.bsky.social at SDCC when I was signing Issue 0 of the comic. He is a terrific person and the voice actor for Wolfgang, coincidentally one of the first characters I wrote in the comic!
I stand with JP Karliak, voice actor and awesome dude, at the SDCC, IDW booth for the release of the first Skylanders Comic. We are smiling with visible teeth.

The final board from my 2 cube Infinite win tonight in #MarvelSnap. A little anti-climactic but I did think the Space Throne was going to do me in. As you can see I was running the Cap Squared deck that was pretty reliable for my climb with a 61.9% win rate. (I still hate Arishem...)
The final score in in Marvel Snap 12/6 (The Space Throne) 23/24 (Asteroid M) and 8/25 (FEAST). They had a move deck and I had both Caps, Red Guardian, Dom, Ant Man, Spectrum and Blue Marvel on my side.
