in theory i like the famicom because the color palette is incredible and the way tiles are handled leads to very cool images.. i have tried very hard repeatedly to enjoy actually playing the games and i do love Sweet Home and Kirby's Adventure and ports of some dungeon crawlers, etc, but the prominence of stiff side scrolling action games on the system has always kind of turned me off sadly, though it was fun to get to the last boss of Ninja Gaiden. i am not very good at games that require precise control and overwhelmingly prefer 2d games to have a prominent sense of a third dimension, like even the perspective on the walls in Sweet Home that makes it look like you're peeking into a distorted shoebox boosts my interest a lot. i do not think i will play Space Hunter but it looks cool.

i'm embarrassed to say that i really do not know many.. i don't keep up with the english indie comics world like i did in the early 2010s. i have some old comics from A. Degen and have recently enjoyed Erin Roseberry's books from the ShortBox online comics fair and am a big fan of Laura Knetzger. in terms of irl zine fairs i only really go to Short Run, hit the Glacier Bay (who mainly publish translated manga) and Laura K's tables and then leave because it is always HOT and CROWDED and that stresses me out too much on top of the social interaction aspect to browse much. i do wish i knew more about what was going on in the indie comics world still sometimes but there are so many things in this world to keep track of..
