Miyamoto Still Minting Mushrooms: Nintendo Legend Remains Grounded, Eyes the Next Five Years

Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary mind behind Mario, Zelda, and countless other gaming icons, isn’t planning to hang up his overalls anytime soon. In a recent interview with The Guardian, the 71-year-old Nintendo figurehead quashed any whispers of retirement, emphasizing his ongoing passion for the industry. While acknowledging the fleeting nature of time, Miyamoto’s focus isn’t on sunsets and…

A friend sent me a winter story about frozen spiderwebs, and thought it would be a really cool design to add to jack. With his gangly limbs, he's kind of a Winter Spider himself.

I think wheelchair rentals should only have good. Everyday type wheelchairs and not the basically non-adjustable, intended for extremely temporary use hospital chairs. If you're renting a wheelchair then. You're not in the hospital. You're using it for an everyday sort of purpose.

I rented mine because I need one for every day use, but couldn't afford it straight out the gate-- but it was a decent chair. Worst thing about it is it didn't come with a cushion. Everything else was adjustable or removable and I think that should Always be the case.

The idea that trans people "take away" from other queer identities is just transphobia.

The narrative, for instance, that the lesbian community is "losing lesbians" to transition is not based on anything but transphobia; we do not own people, and other people don't owe it to us to be members of our communities. If a person transitions and distances themself from the communities they were once a part of, they are free to do so. Trans people don't owe it to you to live what would, essentially, be a lie to placate to you.

You cannot own other peoples identities.

I know this has been debunked to death but the fact that people still tout the “40 beheaded babies” line legitimately makes me give the neutral face of displeasure because I remember that we have names for every child killed or injured in Gaza and the West Bank that we see in photos and videos of the aftermath of IOF attacks but there is not a single list with the names of these 40 babies. And I have looked. And hunted. And scoured.

And the fact that the total number of Israeli civilian deaths reported on 10/7/23 keeps dropping every few weeks? Definitely not helping legitimize any of these claims. Like we went from 1500 to roughly my credit score before the end of the year.

My OPOC crew is finally finished WOOOOOO that took like. a week. but I am incredibly happy with them, they're finally real <3

Hope y'all like the blorbos, the start of their story is set around the current animanga situation. Post-Wano if you will. It gets kickstarted by the fall of Kaido and Big Mom and the consequences that brings to their territories and the world. They're going to have an extremely bad time starting out in the middle of the current world situation👍

They're mostly independent cause I don't enjoy canon and OC interactions all that much beyond using it as setup or for character development. That said, I do have an idea for one drawing/comic that is incredibly stupid and will likely do for the memes.

I don't know if I will end up sharing more of them than this but feel free to ask about them if you want to? Individual info cards of each of them below:

i bought ultrakill forever ago but never got around to playing it. what is the deal why has it spawned such a dedicated fanbase. you seem like you'd know....

IT'S JUST REALLY GODDAMN FUN!!! that's the short answer and honestly the best answer. it's really ridiculously fun. like probably one of the most fun games to ever exist.

there is a ridiculous amount of care and skill and soul packed into every design choice; it culminates in some of the most immaculately ecstatic and visceral gameplay i've ever experienced. it cannot be understated how brilliant this game's design is. the only way to really understand why it excels is to just play it!

if you'd like an anecdote to represent the overall ultrakill experience, here's mine: when i played the demo for the first time, after maybe 5 minutes i became so physically nauseous that i had to stop. and in that time i immediately went to get the full game. it's DELIGHTFUL. (see also: jerma's playthrough where he starts screaming "humans aren't supposed to be doing this" during a boss fight.)

but even aside from pure gameplay, there really is a lot to love… there's a certain self-aware sincerity to everything. it's unabashed on purpose, and in the best ways possible. despite its obviously absurd violence, don't at all mistake ultrakill for something cynical or misanthropic—there's a lot of depth and heart dancing beneath the surface, a lot of it in places i didn't expect to see it, and so much that i didn't expect to appreciate nearly as much as i do.

[okay this got too long. the rest is going DOWN HERE ↓]

like okay, obviously the music is just. insane. the goddamn midi metal/breakcore genre fusion is THE most hilarious and unfathomably genius stylistic choice that could have been made. and it's not even just that!! there's ambient & drone & harsh noise influence all across the ost, which just enchants and delights me. i DEFINITELY didn't expect it, but i love it. (the fact that there's like, a level named after a sunn o))) song, and that the latest update contains a godawful joke about trout mask replica might tell you exactly what kind of game ultrakill is, or it might tell you literally nothing.)

the writing and worldbuilding can be rich and compassionate in ways i really didn't expect, too... it's so evident that it's a work of passion, with really sincere and often sweet philosophies sprinkled throughout all the bloodshed and grotesque silliness—and often within them. it makes me smile! also gabriel is a really good character. people go apeshit over that guy. for good reason. he's just REALLY good.

if you're just interested in understanding its amassed fanbase, yeah ultrakill's is pretty ridiculous and dedicated. and it's extremely deserved! the game is fun & the characters are fun. being in early access, it's kinda built on ongoing feedback, so it makes sense people are invested. the devs really seem to embrace the fanbase wholeheartedly, which helps a lot too. that is also why, kind of inexplicably, ultrakill is kind of a gay & horny game. please note that i do not say these things flippantly or lacking deliberation; there's an extremely good essay to be written about gayness across ultrakill & its communities. like aside from the general hilarity of a game having official buttplug support, the fact that the dev team hired an artist specifically because he drew a lot of incredibly beautiful/obscene depictions of gabriel DOES say a lot. this, of course, makes ultrakill 100x better.

anyway that's the basics. i could definitely write THOUSANDS of words about this game and that's honestly... not what i expected when i booted it up the first time LOL. it really just happened to appeal to a lot of things i sincerely adore, in an unexpectedly sincere way—all while being a STUPIDLY good game.

TL;DR: it's a fun robot video game where you shoot things. and there's blood and explosions. it's good you should play it
