A black sesame seed and a white sesame seed

A black rabbit with brown-and-white markings and a white rabbit with brown-and-black markings are splayed out next to each other, facing away from the camera. They are very full of hay and so look rounder than usual. I am comparing them to the Black Sesame and White Sesame from EarthBound, nee Mother 2: Gīgu no Gyakushū, two extremely minor characters who are single pixels existing in different parts of a vast desert. Here they are united, as rabbits, showing off their cute little butts

You can't eat this

A white bunny with brown ears and facial markings is investigating a LEGO plum blossom. They are very bright red plastic, clearly not meant for consumption. He doesn't see it as a food item. I just like to tease him

A screenshot from Harvest Moon 64, on a particularly fine day in the spring of the second year. The baker girl Elli, the player character, and Elli's grandmother Ellen are outside of the bakery. Ellen is in her rocking chair. Elli is addressing her grandmother.

Dialogue box reads "Let's go inside if you're going to sleep."

Now, there IS actually revolutionary action taking place in FF12, but it takes place on a much higher level than the human, and it's being waged primarily by the game's "villains"

Render of Vayne Solidor, a light-skinned man with long dark hair, wearing chunky armor of green and gold

Render of Cidolfus Demen Bunansa, a light-skinned man with short-cropped grey hair, wearing thigh-high white boots and an overcoat of purple, red, and gold

In-game screenshot of Final Fantasy 12, depicting the character Venat on the bridge of the Bahamut. Venat is an ethereal, transluscent figure who looks like living shadow with glowing orange eyes, shrouded in a mantle made from an unknown substance, covered in intricate, whirling patterns

I was going to make a joke about the preponderance of ladies riding older men like horses, but this fellow from the fourth image has me arrested My man is FISHING

A man in a brown two-piece suit wearing brown leather shoes, white socks, a white shirt, a white brimmed hat with black ribbon, and a red bowtie. He is seated on a piece of pottery, under the effects of a hypnotist to believe that he is fishing with a walking stick from which a paperclip dangles on a piece of string. His eyes stare into the middle distance with manic intensity, eyebrows furrowed with the absolute focus of man whose livelihood depends on catching The Big One.

A cigarette juts from his closed mouth. His lips aren't very wide, but the shadow of the cigarette creates a tangent with his lips, giving the impression that he is barely restraining an expression of vicious focus which may explode into rapture or terrifying anger or wailing sorrow or *something*, he is so intense, I may never find another picture like this again

I have to admit that I love the esoterica of the samurai story genre Yeah people can occupy different planes of perception when their whole life is dedicated to the craft of violence, why not? Wanna fight about it? You won't. I can see right through your bloodlust

Five panels from Vagabond, a black-and-white manga by Eiji Yoshikawa. These panels depict a young Sasaki Kojiro staring down a nameless samurai in the rain. The interior experience of the samurai is conveyed by blacking out the background as he realizes that Kojiro's greater skill allows him to perfectly analyze his weaknesses.

Relevant text reads, "Hey... those eyes...! Does he see right through me?! ...What little confidence I have in my skills?!"

POV: you are about to be passive-aggressively (leaning aggressively) criticized for thinking about using nukes

An in-game image of Fran from Final Fantasy 12, a brown-skinned woman with long white hair and red eyes, wearing a black choker and black filigreed helmet, and who has big rabbit ears that extend out of frame

Final Fantasy XII has some all-time Li'l Bastards

A screenshot of Final Fantasy 12, showing the party leader Vaan talking to a Prideful Boy in the rich area of the fantasy-futuristic city of Archades. The text, attributed to the Prideful Boy, reads

"An ardent, are you? I'm *gentry*. I expect to be addressed as such. Peasant."

The image macro of a cat, wearing a blue suit while having coffee and reading a newspaper. Text reads "I should replay Ogre Battle 64."

I've never watched an episode of Evangelion. I don't think I even saw it when it was on Toonami. Has Kaworu always been a character? I recognize him from cultural osmosis but I feel like I can remember a time when he wasn't part of that osmosis

A cat in a business suit sits in a kitchen, reading a newspaper while having coffee.

Text reads "I should re-read Vagabond."

The most popular version of this meme usually includes the text, "I should buy a boat," to comment on the intersection between middle age, affluence, and the expanded ways we spend our own time. There are those of you who will say, "Ah, reading a manga is not very much like buying a boat. It is a different sort of commitment." But there are those of you who are reading this comparison and nodding, or wincing, or turning away. Because you know.

How do I ensure my cooking always makes my partner feel well-taken-care-of and nourished? It's simple. I use lots of love. Pictured: lots of love

It is the collective opinion of the Book of Mudora that this man is hot.

Basch fon Ronsenburg from Final Fantasy 12. Basch is a light-skinned man with a mane of blonde hair running from the top of his head and transitioning unbroken into a messily cropped beard. He has a scar running across his brow over his left eye. He's wearing confiscated armor made of red cloth, dark brown leather, and a lot of buckles. He looks determined but kind of sad, like sadness is his default expression, not crying sadness but a kind of stoic sadness, you know the sort.

This is also how I behave with my partner when they drift off during novel social situations with crowds we don't know

Panel from the Spy x Family manga. Loid Forger is holding out his left arm, creating the space where he wants his wife Yor to stand. He is looking at the "camera" extremely intensely. Text reads "Come on back to me Yor. I need you right here!" Menacing rumble sound effects fill the panel.

Soon... it begins again

The Steam install window for Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age. We stand once more on the precipice of a long and eventful journey.

As he ages, Mochi gets progressively better at getting into things he's not supposed to, and stealing things we didn't think he was capable of He has become a truly superior thief A real Arsene Lapin

A white rabbit with brown facial and back markings sits in repose, his forefeet stuck out. I call this "sphinxing," and it is one of my favourite weird rabbit poses

You know Nojima's real because it doesn't matter what the movie does, he looks you dead in the eye and says "Zack/Aerith isn't a real ship. He treated her like a squeeze, she had a child's crush for an older man. That isn't life-defining."

"Because it would be dangerous for her to come in contact with him, the woman tried to keep away from the man's consciousness. Because of this, she couldn't learn much of the man's plot. However, just once, when the man's spirit had suddenly appeared near her, she discovered that he had made his memories of Cloud the core of his being.

Cloud was her friend, her beloved—a symbol of what was important to her, and someone to be protected."

It's been an interesting few months on the podcast

A line graph titled "Book of Matoya Experience of Final Fantasy X Compilation." The y-axis is labeled "Enjoyment Level," and the values on it are label 0-100 in intervals of 10. The x-axis is labeled "Story," and its entries are labeled "FFX," "FFX-2," "Last Mission," "FFX-2.5 Eternal Cost," and "~Will~"

FFX is plotted at 80, FFX-2 at 30, Last Mission at 70, FFX-2.5 Eternal Cost at 100, and ~Will~ at 90.

In order to save Spira’s population from Sin's rage, Yuna had faced death, a smile on her face. Was it the same smile she had worn while they were swimming?

She has not changed.

Mm. Maybe next time

Pigma Dengar looking kind of pensive, staring into the foreground with golden eyes, nose wet and shining, bristling hairs on his chin, he's got spikes on his shoulder pads and I feel like that should have been a red flag to his teammates at the time

Some of us remember.... some of us remember the Old Ways of always unsettling, often hideous, sometimes terrifying puppets

Art of the puppets of the original Star Fox team looking heroically to the left. I think this was the art for the Super Nintendo game, at least in North America.

Image of the Super Nintendo-era puppets for Fox and Falco. Falco, in the background, is looking to the left. Fox, in the foreground, is looking directly at the viewer with a very realistic puppet face but unsettling human eyes.

FOX IS ANGRY AND BARING HIS TEETH AAAAAHHHH

I unironically love the way the new models look in Star Fox My boy Pigma got the biggest glow-up, I feel

A screenshot from the new Star Fox game. A realistic-looking anthropomorphic pig in the cockpit of a spaceship looks into his comms device, which throws a green tint on his face. The alien sky around him soaks the rest of the shot in a rust-orange haze.

Name card reads "PIGMA DENGAR - Star Fox"

Subtitle text reads, "And we're doin' this job for next to nothin'?! We're supposed to be mercs, not chumps!"

Having interesting discussions about the Final Fantasy X sequel novella

The "Soldier Protecting Child" meme. The knives and bullets are labeled "Sequel Culture," "Lack of Closure," and "Nojima Literalizing Our Inability to Let Go of Familiar Characters and Settings."

The soldier is labeled "FFX"

The sleeping child is labeled "FF8"

When someone buys cosmetic DLC in a AAA Capcom production

The greyscale Achewood comic panel where Roast Beef is helping Ray do some accounting.

Roast Beef says, "Why did you send a check for ten thousand dollars to 'Oreos'"

Ray replies, "I like their product! I wanted 'em to have a little walkin' around money!"

That explains it, I guess Maybe that's why Grace doesn't get an icon despite being in the anniversary art all the top row icons are from: she hasn't been in any CG movies

White text on black background, reading "Experience a new era of survival horror in Resident Evil Requiem, and then dive deeper into the legendary saga by catching up on the Resident Evil CG movies on Sony Pictures Core."
