    Fuck Disney. I have sucked the mouse’s cock since they took over Marvel. No more. I am even canceling my comic books subs and I have collected Fantastic Four for over 50 years. No more.

      This impresses the hell out of me. I don’t collect but I’ve known many collectors, and I know what a decision like this represents.

        Its not that impressive. Marvel comics have been dog shit for a while now. Its like saying Im not gonna watch Happy Days anymore, but youve on season 11, and it was season 5 that Fonzi jumped the shark.

          It at least makes me very happy how plausible it is for a completely independent artist to make games on Steam or Itch that are universally enjoyed. Sadly there is a current trend of “NSFW” games getting banned on those platforms…

          I wanted to plug one game that had been particularly victimized. It was an “unreliable narrator” game where you played as a stalker obsessively trying to find the real name of his favorite pornstar. It was uncomfortable, artistic, thought-provoking, and immediately tripped the ban filters. I thought I bookmarked it but if someone else knows it a reminder would be awesome.

      Before this I was thinking of getting back into Spider-Man comics like I had as a kid.

      Not touching that with a 50 ft pole now.

        The last time we had a good (Peter Parker) Spider-Man run was in the 1990’s. There’s been some decent Miles stuff here and there but mostly Marvel is not good. Read BOOM!, Dark Horse, Image…
