"Welcome to the D&D World!" All the beginner's advice you needed to begin your D&D Basic Set adventures in Japan. TSR quested to make inroads there in the mid-80s, bolstered by the serialized play sessions of what would become Lodoss.

Buy the best Conker's Bad Fur Day-like indie game on the internet for less than the price of a single cup of coffee. Love this developer and this game!

Is Endgame finally accepted as a shit film? When I first saw it in theaters I felt alone in thinking it sucked ass because I was the only one not clapping or cheering every few minutes.

i'm so obsessed with the beta footage for the shrek xbox game, like it's just completely silent aside from occasional shrek noises and his stupid jumping sound just being one of them but with reverb lmao 😭

Here's my theory: XBOX hired Kojima, realized Kojima Productions costs money they don't have, and decided to layoff some employees to cover for their mistake.

Ishizu...
An illustration of Ishizu Ishtar from Yu-Gi-Oh. She's laying on her side in the sand, particles flying around her whipped up by the wind as her long black hair trails out to the side. Her gold accessories glint in the sun, and the light casts deep cool shadows. Ishizu looks at the viewer with piercing purple eyes, her expression nearly neutral but with a hint of a smile, suggesting she knows something you don't.

In one version, she's wrapped for modesty's sake in a thin loose shift dress.

In the other version, she's entirely nude.

You can see the alt version on my Patreon right away, if you're interested in supporting! www.patreon.com/akairiot

Been slowly rewatching the old YuGiOh anime subtitled for the past couple months, and finally got to Battle City -- I had forgotten how cute Ishizu was...

No prob, I should've read the article more carefully but iirc someone mentioned Druckmann and I just honed in on that. I'm also biased: I hate TLOU in general. Anyway it's my mistake, I'm just scatterbrained at the moment.

I don't even think it's people copying him, I think he lowered game standards and other developers realized his success and studied why that was. Also, Druckmann and The Last of Us have a lot of prestige at modern-Sony, so they were likely looking to him and his work for some development guidance.

I've been following this game for YEARS. It's now $6. If it looks at all interesting, buy it! Give it a chance! Support indie devs who aren't afraid to make things weird!

Hello, I just discovered something weird, I think someone stole your game and is selling it on Itch? litos-org.itch.io/isle-of-reve... Unless I'm mistaken.

I wouldn't call myself a huge Sonic fan, but every few months I'll get the urge to play a Sonic game, read some Sonic comics, or rewatch a Sonic show/movie. What causes that? Is Temporary Sonic Autism a thing?

As someone who received something packaged like that: don't do it unless there's actual packaging (bubble wrap, any kind of cushion) or those Blu-Rays and games will shatter and damage the actual game

I also don't understand the need to generate reference material because Crazy Taxi is very popular. Hell, there's tons of official former Crazy Taxi art they could've used... as well as a ton of artists inspired by SEGA's Y2K Dreamcast era.

Also, if you ever end up posting elsewhere I'm sure people will follow. Might be too poor for Patreon (still a college student, sadly) but I've loved your art since day one. You're one of the creators that makes me proud to be a Metal Gear fan, because you make amazing stuff and share my interest!

strange_hero @strangehero.itch.io · 10/09/2026
Hey buddy, I've been following your stuff for ~5 years now? Just wanted to say, I've seen your ups and downs from afar (what was shared publicly) and it's a shame the drama's constant. But, your work is you, and we know that. Try to zone out the assholes who aren't there for your art.

For the record: I'm not gonna jump and buy an XBOX just because Kojima's on their platform. Of course, I'm also a fan of games and him as a creator (pfp) so I'm biased. But I don't think Kojima had an easy choice. I'm fine sticking with PC, but even then we've gotta play ball with corpos. It sucks.

People need to eat and this is a studio who got dropped and needed funding fast. It's not just create or not create, sadly. You worked at Epic and Bungie, two companies that have received a lot of criticism for a variety of anti-consumer practices. Not saying you're at fault, but creators need food
