Lone Wolf and Cub is such a fun read =)

I had a thinky-thank on this and circled back because I had an idea sitting there in the back of my head and I couldn't bring it to the front. It hit me just a second ago, I think Dash Shaw has dialogue but has large swaths of visual chaos and movement. You can check him out here and consider grabbing his work if you can. Outside of that, there's surely others but I am drawing a blank. I think there are books in general that I have loved that aren't void of dialogue but express quite a bit in their panels. Not Simple by Natsume Ono is one of those novels and just seeing the little bits of it mean quite a bit. It's a dramatic ride though, just an fyi. Also, please consider grabbing it if you're willing. I am baffled as to what that woman can do with line.
While this is a dialogue rich novel, Asterios Polyp was quite an amazing read. While I no longer own it, I think fondly of it (and did so even a couple of days ago). It's just a big chunky boy, and it's hard to keep with - so I gave my copy to a friend who loves it =)
Hope you might like any of these =)
No worries =)! Mine too. Have you seen Princess Tutu? It's also quite good =)
Believe it or not, I use one of those Nook Simple Touches from nineteen dickety two. Cause you can change the battery easily, I got it for super freakin' cheap and with a light source it's perfectly fine. I just realized though, you're asking for programs. That I cannot tell you. I just use whatever is simplest on my lappy. I don't read on it often, and when I do it's typically for PDFS, which open in the browser. Eh!
This, is a great human.
I sadly have little interest in watching things about Hades as because I am so burnt out from asking for accessibility assistance (I actually think I did it multiple times in case they didn't catch it) and I am just frustrated with them as a whole and this post reignited it. But I am glad that they got what they wanted because Greek mythology is expansive. I think someone else will be happy about it. I just think I realized I feel relatively "done" with the company as a whole =/!
Not pictured are 500 sea lions hanging out below =)
My partner has a rare type of colorblindness that makes certain comfy games completely unplayable. I wanna scream at the screen, because I wish that it were easier in this life to make things more accessible for all people in general. I sit in the same camp with you, the more the merrier when it comes to support. I get sad when I open a game, and I see nothing (cause the first thing I do is always check the options). I tend to not buy games with certain things like flashy effects, qtes, or a need for fast reflects. As you can tell, I'm not PVE-er =P!
Aww, looks like official art =)!
Also, love Utena. I've tried to geek out with folks over it, but have never found a person to do so with all my years. It's got some cringey bits, but I think the cringe is just a part of the show in general. Heheheh, Utena. I <3 it! Good luck drawing for Prime, whatever that is =P!
To be honest, I get what you're saying here although I've played all their games. I think of the bunch I disliked Bastion the most. It felt like an empty PSX game. I liked Transistor, but the catch is that it needed to be played pretty much surrounding their pause-the-battle technique which was okay but it really kind of sucks to me whenever I have any game use this technique. I would have much rather it had been a full turn-based game. I like turn-based games though. There is some viking game that plays like a janky-table top where it's semi-turnbased and it was absolutely awful for it.
Mind you, I like Transistor due to its story. Which I think is the same reason why I liked Pyre. The setting, it was quite nice and if I could remove the mini-games from the game I would. Hades, I liked because they took characters the size of tic-tacs and turned them into three-dimensional beings. That was quite nice. They played on a lot of anime tropes. The gameplay was good, but it was a bit too challenging for me. I dropped it relatively early due to this. I pretty much sit in the same camp now. I wondered if maybe I had aged out of their target audience but I will probably never play one of their games again. It's just not my bag.
To be honest, I felt like Hades was like GOOFILY sexual. But I get why it works for most people. I just was like...wut!? People are horny for Hades folks, including my sibby. So like, it works. I just don't play games for that kind of stuff is all. I also liked their art more when it was air-brushy over the hard comic lines. Which is kind of crazy, because I like comic book art. It's just like...too much for me. My sibby grabbed Hades 2 and I can't bring myself to play it.
Also they're assholes of accessibility. It's so hard to play Hades because outside of the gauntlets you've gotta mash buttons to get through the whole damn thing. I know I am not the only one who's written to them about this, but they never gave a shit about it. I figured I was pretty much done with them because I have had such positive responses from so many indie developers on accessibility options. Which I think to be absolutely honest, should be a standard for games with larger budgets. Which they for sure had, as far as indie games go. eh.
That was a rant and a half.
While it is too late for me to be going down any rabbit hole of a video, I will say that playing yourself to any extend in a game is quite important. I mean, you can roleplay however you want, but I find it quite comfy if a game even has the components to represent me as I walk the plains of x-ville. I know more than a few people who were ecstatic to have their characters be trans in Cyberpunk. I know the more customization the more work, and I don't expect indie developers to bring the noise. It's nice though, when you get a chance to pick a character (for one) and have it look like you want it to look like (for two).
