    Rather disgusted with CBC morning show today. One of their regular 'experts' spouted a load of biased, anti-expert crap riddled with misleading statements, and there was zero pushback.

    Ugh.

    I actually sat down and read all of Yongbi the Invincible over the last few days, since I had tried before and fallen off it before.

    Very good stuff, Goo Hwi is an obvious boy. Very much enjoy segments like "the main cast fights an immortal demonic chi demon, while Goo Hwi wrestles with a horse,"

    Very nice art as well, the black and white aesthetic makes it feel quite distinct from Gosu which lends itself well to the timeskip between the two.

    Also, Red Storm finished. Rather unsatisfying if I'm honest. Roll on the side story that is meant to continue the plot.

    I see the infection is spreading.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    Well, he already looks like Trevor Goddard, who played Kano in the movie.

    retro voices from the movie too. Though honestly Chris Lambert's the only one I really care about, voice and look.

    Outside of this one that is because Tagawa's look and voice dramatically improved the character all around by a massive amount, and I mean going all the way back to MK2, I was never found of his young goatee look

    Seriously, Kano's basically unchanged from the movie in voice, look, and attitude already


    It kills me we won't get a Bruce Campbell voiced Ash as a DLC character because the Army of Darkness rights are such a clusterF

    Covid is wrecking my schedule. I'm only just finishing my wife's New Year's story first draft. -_- Which leaves an edit - with a fair bit to change and add, it has evolved as I wrote - a week break, then another full edit. Minimum. Plus time to print. Should be doable, but the window is tight.
