I’m super confused, but I enjoyed it. Like a 20-minute hand-waved version of Primer.

I’m not a huge manga fan myself, so I’ll share the only one that’s managed to make enough of an impression for me to read multiple works, and that’s horror author Junji Ito.
He’s usually got some disturbing, but unique and fairly talented art. Some of his stuff veers more towards ghost story, some dreamishly weird, and some straight up Cronenberg shit. His magnum opus “Uzumaki” is all three.
If you feel like giving it a chance, here’s The Enigma of Amigara Fault, a shorter, tamer work that’s a fairly common intro to his stuff.

Nope, definitely the spirit of a safety-conscious voyeur.

Anon discovers quantum immortality, blows through alternate selves faster than Jet Li.
- Comment on So is Kingdom Hearts 3 _bad_ or just the normal cringe of Kingdom Hearts? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the replies, folks. Sounds like it’s mostly pretty garbage, but the large amount of postgame bosses might be kind of fun if I turn off attractions. I do kinda want to try DDD for playing Riku, so I went ahead and got the package as the cheapest option that includes that.
If I still feel like playing 3 when I get there, it sounds like drinking my way through the Disney worlds may not be a bad idea.

Roguelikes. I’m not saying some of the modern roguelites aren’t fantastic, there are many that are. But the genre boom has all but pushed traditional roguelikes (NetHack, ADoM, Angband, Brogue, etc) out of the conversation.

I’ve no doubt she’ll continue to do well, but I’m not sure BG3 directly helped her get the role, other than making her voice recognizable to people. I read an article that said that Sandfall did blind voice auditions for E33. They didn’t even know they’d chosen Charlie Cox until after the fact.

Casper Kelly is fantastic!
He did another Adult Swim Infomercial which is also pretty great: Final Deployment 4: Queen Battle Walkthrough
He was also one of the main folks behind Stroker & Hoop, an animated send-up of 80s and 90s detective action shows like Miami Vice and Knight Rider. I haven’t seen it recently to know if it holds up, but at the time I loved it.
And I recently learned he’s behind Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell, which I had totally missed, but demons in cubicles sounds worth the watch.
Finally, and then I’ll stop gushing about him, he did the Adult Swim Yule Log special, which is an insanely impressive piece of surreal comedy. And its sequel.

I’d love to see a remaster of 8 in 11’s engine, personally.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 5 weeks ago:
Front Mission was pretty fun, and it looks like there’s a remaster available that shines it up a bit. I don’t remember much about the plot, but you build and outfit a squad of mechs, and you can specialize them for guns, or melee, or rockets or what have you.

Fuck yeah, the Amiga was an amazing gaming machine. We had cracked copies of damn near everything. Wings, Lemmings, Lost Vikings, Monkey Island, Leisure Suit Larry, Blood Money, Menace, The Killing Game Show, Woody’s World, It Came From the Desert, Bubble Bobble, Elvira, Out of this World… hit after goddamn hit.
Shit, I might need to reinstall WinUAE if that’s still a thing.

I dunno where they got this data from, but the PNW is definitely not “pop” country in my experience.
- Comment on What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world? 1 month ago:
Because it’s one thing to not shame ignorance, and quite another to entertain people who are being deliberately obtuse.

For years I thought he sang “the cemetery where I married a thief” in Otherside, and that still made more sense than the real line.

The epic shade battle between West and Loveless lives rent-free in my head.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 1 month ago:
I unironically enjoy the old 2005 Fantastic 4 movie. It was cheesy as fuck, I don’t deny that. But it was fun. And the comics themselves can be as bad or worse sometimes.
Also I like Julian McMahon.
Also also, Chris Evans towel scene.

Hey, it’s Enrico Pallazzo!
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 month ago:
They did do a lot of teasing of the moon and the Crystal Palace space station, but there are also signs in-game about a high-speed rail line to Chicago opening in 2080. So the “Chicago but wrong” descriptor might be exactly what it says on the tin.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 month ago:
Before they get too far, can someone please make sure they have the rights to Joe Walsh’s “In The City” this time? It would be fantastic music for an intro, outro, or act break.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 months ago:
Not gonna lie, I was hoping they’d use some Law of Surprise stuff to give Geralt a new ward and let you create your own Witcher. But, if instead I get to do teleport strike bullshit with Ciri’s powers, I’ll be content.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 months ago:
Try to find the nearest shaman, apothecary or herbalist and trade my future clothes/pocket contents for some hallucinogens and painless poison. I ain’t living through a time before electricity.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 2 months ago:
If you liked BG3 and Divinity 2, I’m obligated to mention the Pathfinder games: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous. The graphics are a touch simple, but the writing is great and the detailed character building scratches an itch for me. As far as I’m concerned, Owlcat is currently the only real competition Larian has.

If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous too.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Can anyone recommend a distro (and desktop environment?) that’s going to be almost the same as desktop mode on the Steam deck? I’m getting more comfortable in that than I expected to be in any Linux, and to my surprise and delight I haven’t had to delve into the command line at all yet.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 months ago:
I saw that one thrown around when I was searching before. I wouldn’t really be playing it for the story, but as long as the story’s there, should I be familiar with the first two?
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 3 months ago:
You probably want a dedicated game, but I have a lot of fun with Dragon Kart in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 months ago:
There’s so much I want to like about Warframe, but last time I tried it I couldn’t get any sense of what a new player’s supposed to do to start progressing, or to get the story in a comprehensible way. The build timers also made me sad. I got all the parts, just give me the Rhino.
Still though, “We All Lift Together” is a certified banger.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 months ago:
Ah, maybe that’s the missing ingredient. Pretty sure I don’t have that yet. I fucked off from the main story almost immediately to go find balloons and such.
