Cat[girl]urday: Faster Runner Tiffy

Image
Due to my love of Nekomimis I have decided to post something catgirl related each week! It maybe cute. It maybe sexy. It may even be a bit disturbing... Tiffy at sunset -Art by fast-runner-2024 Lately, this is the part of the post I use to make up a backstory to this weeks featured nekomimi related art. This week, however, I am going to do something I have not done in a while. You might remember Tiffy from past post but do you really know much about her? Lately, I have not covered original characters as deeply as I have in the past. I will always try to credit the artist but have not done a deeper dive in a bit. While looking up images these past weeks I have noticed a new watermark on Tiffy’s images leading to http://nottykittytiffy.tumblr.com [nsfw]. So after choosing one of these amazing works I thought I would take a closer look this time. To make life a little easier Tiffy is an American catgirl. This means all of fast-runner-2024’s pages are in English and are easy...

Cat[girl]urday: Miss Kobayshi's Kitty Dragon

Due to my love of Nekomimis I have decided to post something catgirl related each week! It maybe cute. It maybe sexy. It may even be a bit disturbing... Kana Kamui from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid “ Art by spider921 One of this season’s most popular anime series is Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid. Despite not being Miss Kobayashi or her dragon maid [Tohru] this character has stolen the show for many fans. Her name is Kana Kamui and she is a young dragon who joins the title characters after she is exiled from the dragon’s world. I am not sure if dragon girls count as kemonomimi/catgirl like so here is her with cat ears! Even though she may paint a cute image of the anime it is the darker side of the show that will keep you coming back. These visitors from the other world provide lots of dark humor and social-political commentary. What else would you expect from a show about a woman and her dragon maid? So what do you think?

Innovate or Alienate

Image
Image from Sony It is hard to believe that Spider-Man comes out this Friday! I was lucky enough to find a Limited Edition PS4 still available to preorder a few weeks back. When gyro controls were added to the Switch version of Fortnight people started to request them on the PS4. I forgot the PS3 and PS4 had gyros. For the most part, I have sat this generation out and have not touched a PS4. I started looking into the controller more and started looking into games that use its unique features. It seems like not many games use the gyro, touchpad, speaker, etc. This makes me wonder what it takes to innovate game controllers and hardware. Nintendo has taken more drastic steps in the past with systems like the Wii. The motion controllers were so different developers had to makes games just for them. The drawbacks were clear and it was one of the reasons not many 3 rd party games were ported. Even the Switch has many of its function left underutilized like the depth sensor and H...
