Remember, kids: Talk to your fellow employees about how much you're paid. No employer has your best interests at heart. They need your labor to continue doing business, and they want to pay as little as they possibly can for it.
That puts you, the workers, in the position of power. Remember that too.

poem
blue sky, you highest vaulted arch,
not often enough do we meet -
i am hemmed in always by flat ceilings
and long for the wash of your sun
promised through the windows
until after it has set, and the moon,
saint of the unknown, greets me
with its entourage of little stars
and blesses me to try again tomorrow.
Here's a deep dive at fontsinuse into the real NGE typography: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/28760/neon-genesis-evangelion

Arcade Game Typography
The Art of Pixel Type
(Toshi Omagari)
It is totally from the POV of the fonts.
Every single time I look at this shop it has something new and somehow even more cute and glorious than before. https://shop.sevenishmagpies.com/product/gender-final-revision-sticker

This is not really a joke
Splatoon 1 utterly consumed me for months. I was consistently ranked B+ and I was sheer terror with a Luna Blaster.
Splatoon 2 passed me by, as I didn't have a Switch yet, and it seems a little late to jump in now because....
Splatoon 3 drops on the ninth of September. The Luna Blaster mayhem shall resume!
Oh! They didn't delete the account! They removed the username so I have to use my email address to log in now. (The login form still calls it a username.)
They are still assholes.
