Inky Xward

For most people, and I’m one of those. My rent has gone up, my alternator in the car has died (I can’t even focus on that yet, sigh), and this has been on a chain of setbacks and illnesses both with myself and my family. Energy and food prices… it all piles up.

On top of this, my depression (and covid fog probably) has been extra rough, keeping my freelance work slow.

Anyhow, I could use help and any is appreciated. I need $300 to make rent by the 5th and basic expenses beyond that.

And you just absolutely fall in love and want to play as many Truck Sims as possible and you hear that there are loads of cool Truck Sims coming out of the USA that deconstruct and interrogate what it means to ride a truck.

KANEKO'S CRIB NOTES LXIX: Music Tensei-Vision; or, MegaTen Video

HELLO! This is 🙈 [Bubbles the Chimp] 🙉, the once dear pal of Michael Jackson. Ever since I signed that NDA over what I saw at Neverland Ranch, life hasn't been great for me but in the years since I've staved off some of my inner chimp aggression by becoming an avid fan of the artwork of Kazuma Kaneko as featured in the Megami Tensei franchise (fuck that AI slop in Tsukuyomi, though). Well, wouldn't it figure for an ape with my luck, Kaneko finally registered an X (formerly Twitter) account with the creative moniker of kazumakaneko666 and has been answering inquiries about his artwork, including the MJ-related bombshells in this post.

Not only is Kaneko not dead, he returned with a vengeance that would almost make the very concept of Kaneko's Crib Notes obsolete, as if he wanted to take Soren and Eirikr behind the barn and end them for their decade-plus of work on this blog! It's a fury not seen since I allegedly "went apeshit" at Neverland in the early 2000s and was subsequently sent to live in Florida at the Center for Great Apes, where I learned to type and first played Megami Ibunroku Persona. Great game, if a little plodding.

And my chimp ass loves the Black Eyed Peas. Fergie for LIFE!!!

BAAL: SMT2 Baal's costume is cribbed from the costume MJ wore for his Egyptian-themed video for his 1992 single "Remember the Time"; in the tweet, Kaneko admits the reference isn't entirely accurate for Baal but that " it couldn't be helped" at the time.

ISHTAR: SMT2 Ishtar's wardrobe is cribbed from the skimpy ensemble worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell for MJ's next 1992 single/music video, "In the Closet."; to quote Kaneko's tweet, "Ishtar is a primitive goddess, so the real image is that she doesn't wear clothes or anything, but being naked would be a problem, you know."

ASHERAH: The lines on Asherah's body are not inspired by Ultraman's Dada as previously posted in 2018, but rather by the Zentai bodysuits worn by the backup dancers in the Black Eyed Peas' 2009 music video for "Boom Boom Pow".
