Tears of the Kingdom (2023) | Platform: Nintendo Switch
I drew Merengue a while ago. She's my favourite animal crossing gal!
Thinking about that Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote that's like "When I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court] and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that." You can apply this to everything, from members of governments to the authors whose books you read. Men are centered almost everywhere and have been for years. Equality doesn't have to be 50% men and 50% women. It can be 100% women to balance the decades when it was 100% men. Choose women's liberation and choose only women.
Help me raise awareness - Did you ever want a mainline Pokemon game for the Nintendo 64? Well, it kind of happened with Onegai Monsters; A so-obscure-it’s-almost-non-existent Japanese exclusive.
Yes this is real, and It’s a crime almost no one knows about it. Onegai Monsters is a Pokemon clone released exclusively in Japan in 1999. There’s little to nothing online about it aside from a few Youtube videos and a couple of translation guides. Needless to say, it didn’t make a big splash upon release.
It has breeding, turn-based battles, a bunch of monsters to collect, a journey that involves letting a 10-year-old out into the world on their own. WHY ISN’T THIS MORE WELL KNOWN? I can kind of see why it’s not exactly popular. It’s not the prettiest game but when do we care about graphics around here anyway? As long as the game is decent, we can handle walking animations with a whopping 3 frames right?
2023 is the year we put Onegai Monsters on the map. The good folks behind it tried to give the people what they wanted when Game Freak refused and their efforts amounted to near nothing. We have to get this a proper translation and into the hands of geeks like me and you. How do we do that? Spread awareness until someone smart enough does so!
Until then, we have to rough it and play it with what little guides are available on the internet. Incoming link dump:
This Saturday in Burbank, CA I'll be tabling at Game Realms.
I'll have original art, prints, a new enamel pin, and a few other things. New stuff will be available thru my Ko-fi store next week after the event.

Zelda: Wand of Gamelon
Friendly reminder how this was when the Triforce of Wisdom promised everyone the King would come home safely,
But it fucking lied, so Zelda had to go save him AND Link.
it didn’t fucking lie, the king DID return safely BECAUSE zelda saved him IT WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME media literacy is fucking dead
