I hate to say it, but, if this is what's gonna be done with the characters and lore, I don't want them to make an X-Men game unless it's completely separated from this canon. It's that bad. That said, I'll go through the game again eventually: I'll just skip as much as the story as possible.

But it's not all bad. Essex, who never goes by the name "Mr. Sinister," is largely in character by the end of the game Sabretooth is also awesome, and I DESPERATELY need a DLC campaign for him. @insomniac.games, I WANT TO PLAY AS SABRETOOTH, DAMMIT.

As for mutants overall, this is the same as the terrigen bomb or the freaking Avengers game, and it's the exact WRONG approach to go with for mutantkind because now there's a specific point at which mutants BECAME mutants. They aren't natural anymore: they were forced into being. Accidents.

And the whole preordained Wolverine/Jean relationship can get fucked. The idea of them as interested in each other was the WORST thing Claremont ever introduced in his run, and this game is that x5,000. Seriously, they've got her reincarnating just to be with him. Complete trash.

Spoilers ahead, obviously! First of all, this feels like a random mishmash of decades worth of X-Men stories, and it's ALL focused on Wolverine. Seriously, why even have an X-Men in this universe when you have Wolverine?

Gonna take a break from my Bluesky break to rant about the #Wolverine game. Overall, it was fun: better than X-Men Origins from a gameplay perspective so that's not nothing, but the scores are fair. The story, though? WOOF. There's some AWFUL stuff in there from my 35-year X-Men fandom brain. 1/?

Just got my #DragonBallZ bluray sets in today, and they look good to my eyes! I'll have to get the rest of the series down the line: they're admittedly pretty expensive to import thanks to the Trump tax. Frakkin' Trump.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

JLA Avengers by @kurtbusiek.bsky.social and George Perez is a love letter to anyone who has ever read a DC or Marvel comic. We all love "who would win in a fight," but this more importantly asks "how can we coexist and work together to be better?" This book is the pure thesis of superhero stories.

I'm about halfway through #Wolverine, and I'm enjoying my time with it; however, I have to admit that the Japan segment is dragging ass. It's way too bloated with one chase sequence after another and multiple non-fights with Deathstrike. The Logan/Jean dynamic is also rubber banding like crazy.

"Make comic book fans accept manga" is especially prescient, considering that, last I checked, manga outsells comic books in the US. Still, I enjoyed Asamiya's work on the book. They also designed one of the blades in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and I'll always give props for that.

Somehow, impossibly, the incredible Joshua Cassara has died. Truly one of our modern greats, but also an incredibly kind and gracious soul. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
This is Martha Cassara, Josh’s wife. I’m saddened to share the impossible news that Josh died on September 22nd of heart complications. You might know him for his celebrated work in comics, but he was also a good man, a wonderful father and husband, my best friend, and the love of my life. I’ll share more in the future, but for now that’s about all I can manage. If you knew Josh, you know that he approached the world with humor, sweetness, and kindness. He would not have wanted your condolences. He would have wanted your laughter and toasts. I would love it if you shared something below. Not your sadness, please, but any sort of happiness he brought you through his art, his friendship, or even a brief encounter.

May he feel all the love he gave us all. He was one of a kind ❤️
