Last month I finally got done signing over 7000 cards for the Limited Run Games physical release of Monkey Island. They asked if I would hand sign cards to go in the boxes. Sure, how many can that be? 500? 800? Nope. They had over 7000 preorders and I signed every one of those cards. If you bought one of the LRG Monkey Island boxes you won't get a Certificate of Authenticity with a crappy machine printed signature.

Hey all I’m back with a look at the Light Novel version of a series I covered years back for this week’s Translation Necessary Thursday. It’s Monster Tamer Volume 01 by Higure Minto! Plot: The plot is still fairly dark, with the main characters witnessing some really despicable acts. That said this first entry is about the same as what I covered years back, which isn’t what I was expecting when I read this.

What is a canvas? A canvas is similar to a real life physical canvas used by painters. It is basically a space that can be used to draw on. Unlike a real canvas an HTML canvas can have the image data added and removed with ease. Canvases are usually used when you want to have some form of interaction with the user or you want the users computer to do all the computation instead of the server.

The Godot games showreel for 2021 is up! As every year, more and more quality submissions fall in our hands, making the selection job very difficult. This year was not an exception, as we had had a record submission amount (over 300).

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. Season 4’s premiere certainly promises an interesting season, even if some of the story beats felt a touch rushed in the episode’s hour long runtime. “Kobyashi Maru” structures Michael Burnham’s first run in the Big Chair as an exploration of just how far she still has to go to be a good captain, but the episode acknowledges that she isn’t on the only one.
