M.A.S.S. Builder is currently on the frontpage of Steam (and 20% off!).

store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…

I super recommend you all hop on this! And give the developer @VermillionDev a follow as well!

A thread on why you should care follows!...
MASS Builder (@massbuildergame) is a super cool mecha action game with incredibly robust mecha customization options, made by @VermillionDev, a highly passionate group of Thai indie game developers making their dream game!

store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…
The gameplay is fast and furious, with really solid animation. But where the game truly sets itself apart is the insane depth of its mecha customization system! The developers wanted to make a game that captures the satisfaction of building #gunpla!

store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…
If you love mecha anime, and especially if you love collecting and building mecha model kits, this is the game for you! ESPECIALLY if you love kitbashing!

store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…
Much like high end model kits, the mecha in @MASSbuildergamehave a highly articulated skeletal frame as a base. From there, you have 38 (THIRTY EIGHT!) different armor slots to customize your mecha however you like!

And of course you can paint your mecha whatever color you like as well! There's even incredibly robust options for adding camo and decals!
store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…
MASS Builder (@massbuildergame) also features a wide variety of weapons and combat styles for your mecha!

store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…
And of course, you can customize your weapons as well!

store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…
The developers are also working hard to ensure that the enemies in the game are interesting. They're doing some amazing stuff with the rigs and animation!

The new armor sets that @VermillionDev have been making for the game are stellar too!
store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS…
Head on over to @VermillionDev's account to see what awesome custom mecha people have been making in MASS Builder!

The game is still in Early Access, but folks are already making some RAD custom mecha!
Glad to see the game is gaining traction among Japanese mecha fans too!
It's really personally important to me that @massbuildergame reaches as many people as possible. The developers are awesome folks, pouring their hearts (and personal life savings!) into their dream game. Lets make sure their big bet on themselves pays off!
store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS… Image
The Thai indie game dev scene is still in its fledgling state. Thai developers historically don't have much reach globally (or nationally for that matter!). So if you think @massbuildergame looks rad, PLEASE give it a signal boost! Every little bit helps!

store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MAS… Image
If you're in the games press and truly care about diversity in games, I highly recommend you reach out to @VermillionDev. They are a great group of folks from outside of the Anglosphere, with an inspiring story and an incredible game!

🧵Here's a great example of why you shouldn't always go by Western sources on non Western subjects

Eng Wikipedia page: Yoshitoshi was the last Ukyo-e master. The art died with him😔

JPN Wikipedia page: Yoshitoshi had over a dozen notable protegés with their own Wiki entries 😃

🧵The Western take on Yoshitoshi is that he was a tragic figure waging a lone war against industrialization and modernization. A war that he lost and thus the traditions he championed died with him. It's a romantic notion that also satisfies tons of biases.
🧵But it's so far from the truth. Yes Ukyo-e fell out of favor for more modern methods of reproduction like photography. But it never died out. For instance there was the Shin-hanga (新版画) movement of the early 20th Century, whose purpose was to keep Ukyo-e alive and evolve it.

1. Manga has been more popular than Marvel or DC comics in the west for decades now

2. Marvel & DC =/= All American comics. Dog Man is one of the best selling books (not just comics) in the US. Americans definitely still enjoy reading American comics!
In fact, there have been times where Dog Man has been the #1 best selling book in the US overall!
Dog-Man is the most popular comic in America, outselling any manga. But for some reason it's not really considered a comic by most, i guess cos it's for kids? Where are the articles about how Dav Pilkey is a threat to Superhero comics lol

Listening to this nice piece on the film "Living" and how the author, British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro was inspired by the Akira Kurosawa film "Ikiru," an internationally beloved classic whose title means "To Live."
npr.org/2023/03/06/116…
The piece drops the ball at the end tho, when the narrator says that the film "is not just a remake" and they have a Brit critic that goes "'Ikiru,' by Kurosawa, seems to be a film about Japan, 'Living,' by Ishiguro and his colleagues. seems to me a film about humanity"

Like WTF
What does that mean? Ikiru has been widely regarded as one of the "great films" internationally for decades. It's obviously very universal in its appeal. How is it that "Ikiru" being set in Japan makes it "about Japan" but "Living", being set in the UK, makes it "about humanity"?

Western Samurai movies: We must preserve our honor above all else. Honor is everything (#honor)

Japanese Samurai Movies:
What I'm saying is Westerns were already the Samurai movies of the west
(literally)

Sometimes I think about when Hail To The Thief dropped & this one music critic called it pretentious pap saying Thom Yorke simply screams the words "PENETRATION" over and over in 2+2=5. But the actual lyrics are "we are not even PAYING ATTENTION" lol
Oh man this album rules. It brings back so many TERRIBLE MEMORIES lol. But in a good way!
I think There There is one of Radiohead's best singles. Such a rich, downbeat, groovy, anxious sound. And what a perfect message for the times. "Just cos you feel it, doesn't mean it's there." Tough pill to swallow. But sometimes you really need to hear it

I'm overdo for a food post! I hit up some nice places in Chiang Mai recently. #ArtEaterEats
Dirty Mocha from ... Google Maps has them listed as "Cutlater Cafe" but I could swear they had a Japanese sounding name. Probably rebranded without updating google. Anyhow it was a very good cup of coffee and a beautiful cafe!

In addition to great coffee this place specializes in wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets, which go perfectly with a hot drink (really I should have just gotten an Americano or cappuccino instead of a sweet drink to go with these!)
