I’m like 2 hours into Donkey Kong Bananza and I had the realization that this was a kids game which explained the… lack of difficulty? I’m not mad about it, but this was a nice reminder that Nintendo games ARE for kids.

This episode was a blast. Honestly, though, the post credits on Patreon was more fun haha

Hell yeah! Very proud of my friends and colleagues at Dark Horse.

Monstrously racist regime. The worst gutter racism I've ever heard from a president in my lifetime. And these evil creeps sit next to him and say nothing. Never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican. And primary every Democrat who plays nice in any way with these bigots.

Single issues at my local library?! Nice!
