Those are sweet! Were they originally shots of a Figma Samus?

Thank you!! Yes, I have a figma Samus and took photos of it around my house, and then did some heavy digital editing and enhancements to them to make them Metroid-y, haha. Definitely among the cooler mixed media projects I've done.

Did some concept work for Shi, last seen here doing a cameo in Issun's Top 50 32/64-bit games list:

Isolate – Shi concept art

I don’t think this is FINAL final, but I decided to draw Shi in a similar stance to her prior cast art but with ruffled hair and a bit more aggressive looking expression (she gets competitive…

Got another comic done this week! Go me :D

The moral of this story is to not go off on people who can’t actually do anything to remedy the situation, especially if the issue is trivial. When I worked at an online clothing store, I hea…

Now that the DLC is done, how did Smash Ultimate stack up on diversity? I take a look:

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Diversity: A Quick Examination

One possible tiny nitpick, though I wouldn't be surprised if you've already looked into it more deeply than I have - I thought Kirby was one of those cases where US manuals have long used male pronouns for convenience, but no gender is generally given or implied in the Japanese text. I generally think of Kirby as genderless/genderfluid, especially given the whole absorb/merge with anyone thing.

Kirby is a bit tricky, but I'm going off of NA localization here where Kirby is referred to as male. However, as you note, Kirby is cited as gender neutral in Japan, so I'm going to add a little asterisk with a note about this. Thanks for looking and offering a great insight!
 
For this week, I share quick thoughts on the Animal Crossing direct and Nintendo’s price hike for the NSO Expansion Pak, discuss Metroid Dread’s excellence (I keep spoilers out as much as I could), and attempt to wrap up my Arcade History (and fail lol) by talking about 10 other great arcade experiences!
