I have a question for you does Cuphead have only one robotic arm or both arms are robotic

Cuphead has only one robotic/cyberware arm. His left arm. His right is just a regular old arm.

He also has a cyberware eye. It has several abilities like enhanced vision and night vision, he can analyze what he sees, take recordings if needed, etc. etc. It’s very useful in a fight or when he’s on missions.

This piece for Trigun Stampede is on my website for purchase. It’s traditional art, so only one of its kind. It’s called Vash’s Last Bullet. (I have a bunch of other fanart and OCs as well. And stickers and accessories are coming soon.)

Aquí tenéis el último OC que he estrenado, puedo mostrarlo porque ya se hizo la revelación de su aspecto e historia uwu (aunque no en detalle)

Le conocen como Punch, y debido a las circunstancias de sus lesiones ve a todos como herramientas para lograr su venganza...

"Steve Austin becomes a suspect after series of burglaries that can only be accomplished with bionic strength are committed. As Austin begins to have vague memories of his encounter with Bigfoot, he is approached by Gillian, one of the alien travelers. She explains that one of her own, Nedlick, has formed a splinter group intend on world domination and is now using Sasquash to commit robberies in order to gain wealth." - Via The TV Archeologist.

Well, sure, that'll work. That's gotta be up there with whatever the plan was in Plan 9 From Outer Space...

Lisa Cheese Signing w/Kevin Alvir

Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar: Attack of the Snack seems like an average graphic novel for middle school aged kids but under the surface lies something extraordinary!

Taking relatable life situations: a job you can’t stand, parents that don’t understand, failed dreams and combining them with fantastic elements like a bionic arm, a unicorn and a demonic burger corporation - Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar is SO MUCH MORE than what you would expect and certainly it’s anything BUT average!

About the book: Lisa is a sweet unicorn girl with a cyborg arm… and anger issues… who’s late for her first day of work. And if this occult fast food chain’s minions don’t stop attacking, she’ll never achieve her dream of making it as a musician!

Lisa Cheese moved to Earth City hoping to make a name for herself as a folk singer… but her very first open mic was a disaster, leaving her with a bionic arm and an identity crisis. Now she’s starting a crummy office job, her parents back in their home dimension are laying on the guilt trip, her sister’s acting smug, and the cool girl at the record store leaves her tongue-tied. But none of that will matter if the city’s demonic new burger corporation achieves its evil ambitions: Lisa’s very life is at stake! Fortunately, she has allies…

About the creator: Kevin Alvir is a Brooklyn, New York based comic book maker, artist, educator, musician. His work has been featured in places such as Funny or Die, Current Affairs, HBO's High Maintenance, album covers, podcast tiles, and more. Kevin has done several webcomics: Lunch Adventures, Lisa Cheese : Cyborg Unicorn, Ghost Guitar, Scarberry, Meg Deerleg, Cock Knight, and more. Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar: Attack of the Snack is his first full length graphic novel. \

Kevin will be here signing copies of his book and will even have some copies of his minicomics to sale as well. He’ll be here from 2pm-5pm and we can’t be more excited! We hope you’ll join us for this amazing signing that also doubles as a spectacular holiday gift for that hard-to-shop-for friend or family member!

Thank you. Very Interesting.

IGN has this awesome video on youtube "Bionic Arm Experts React to The Winter Soldier" idk if you've seen it but i thought it was really interesting from a bucky's-metal-arm-meta perspective, and just for info about bionic arms in general, and wanted to share!

https://www.ign.com/videos/bionic-arm-experts-react-to-the-winter-soldier

Dearest Nonnie, thanks for dropping that in my inbox! It’s a fantastic watch for anyone interested in Bucky's bionic arm, as discussed by a prosthetics user and a co-founder of a bionics company (it looks like her training is not in prosthetics but I presume she has a lot of on the job experience given the company is about 7 years old now). They're focusing on the arm in TFATWS as opposed to his arm in previous movies.

Some takeaways for people who cbb:

Bucky’s arm is wayyyy too advanced for what we have in the real world. I suspect most professionals don’t see it as a prosthetic and only see an actor wearing a shell. It’s just too functional for what we have technology-wise. But goals!

Attachment: I agree with their thought Bucky probably has to have an implant for it to stay on, which as they say is pretty new technology. And yeah…Bucky abuses that arm way too much and there are scenes where it should have ripped off, and then there’s the Ayo scene where it’s like ??? Why does it come off so easily? Isn’t that dangerous in the middle of a battle?

(Seriously how does the arm stay on. And that scream...BUCKY THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR RUNNING AWAY FROM STEVE. Also Sebastian I hope you didn't bust your shoulder catching your weight like this.)

Weight/components: these things are heavy, especially when they're as heavy duty as the Winter Soldier's! They brought up good points about chips, motors and batteries (remember each component you add means more cost, more weight, and more things to damage when he slams that hand into concrete). I think Bucky's super soldier strength helps, but the fact he walks with a balanced comfortable gait — man that’s already a giveaway that it’s Seb’s own arm LOL. Anyway for the sake of angst in-universe meta, Bucky’s Hydra arm would have been very heavy and uncomfortable, and probably causing a lot of muscle strain and back/neck ache. Bucky walking around like that arm isn't heavy could be him trying to hide his vulnerabilities from enemies and handlers.

Cost: yep…why would you want to punch through walls with million dollar components when you can kick it down instead (sorry Steve)? Hydra must be loaded with cash cos they sure didn’t teach WS to take care of himself or his very expensive arm. And when they winced over Bucky's very expensive arm thunking onto the ground -- yeah my cheap ass felt that.

"People get very attached to their prostheses": oho that one sure hit home.

Bespoke: this slipped by really fast but it’s such an important point that I keep bringing up! The vibranium arm is NOT a surprise gift for Bucky. You just do not make a prosthetic arm like that in secret and spring it on the amputee expecting it to work for them. It is not a shoe that you can slip on and off. It’s highly personalised, from the cast, the fit, the shape, but also the functions, programming and the positioning of the electrodes has to match what Bucky wants to and can do with it. Think about the Iron Man suit — sure, Pepper and Rhodes can sit in it but it’s never going to work for them the same way it does for Tony. It’s the same with Bucky’s arm. No matter how advanced Wakanda is, they have to have consulted him when making it. In fact, the very idea that able-bodied people can just...manufacture a highly specialised and advanced prosthesis without consulting the amputee himself is...at best ill-informed, at worst rather ableist. So I've always taken the view that Bucky was involved in the prosthetics-making process then requested that T'Challa keep the arm and only give it to him when he's being called upon to fight.

(FML TUMBLR JUST DELETED AN ENTIRE PARAGRAPH AGAIN)

Neglected use: the prosthetics user (Daniel) brings up an excellent point about really connecting to Bucky's line that "I don't always think of my (prosthesis) I'm right handed". I just wanted to note some differences: Daniel is a congenital limb deficiency, while Bucky is an amputation. This means during toddler years where the brain learns motor skills, Daniel wouldn't have had to learn for that part of his limb; meanwhile Bucky had his limb until adulthood and his brain would have been used to controlling a limb there. There are both good and bad parts to this -- for Daniel it would just be like learning to use a new tool, for Bucky it would be like trying to use an arm that's never going to be as intuitive as his own arm. THAT SAID, Bucky's arm is very advanced and very similar to a real arm, and he's also had much longer at using it, which means that arm should feel more natural to him than Daniel's prosthesis does. So my head canon is that Bucky's skills regressed when he lost his arm between Civil War and TFATWS. We know from real life that upper limb prosthesis uptake is pretty poor because a) our real life prostheses are mostly bleh; and b) people are very adaptive and get used to using one arm; and c) once they do, most of them CBB learning to use a clunky unreliable heavy thing like a prosthesis. Bucky spent most of two years using one arm - his dominant hand, no less - so by the time he gets his new vibranium arm it's a learning curve again and he probably defaults to using his right arm for most skilled tasks.

(Any excuse to include Bucky picking plums *pat pat*)

(Oh man this got long again)

After losing her arm, Jay was very self conscious about her new prosthetic, but her wife loves her all the same anyway.

Comics Review: ‘Murder Falcon’

Murder Falcon by Daniel Warren Johnson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Interdimensional monsters! Underground lava caverns! Mind-sucking embodiments of darkness! ...and metal. Illness. Crumbling friendships. Unwieldy jobs. Neglected personal relationships. ...and metal. MURDER FALCON is an impeccable dance on the precipice of losing everything and gaining everything in the same hot gasp. Sick and depressed, guitarist and metal band frontman Jake spirals out and away from his wife, his buddies, and the world of music. Life has not been particularly easy or kind to the man, but Jake is done flirting with the assumption life will ever get any better. The only thing that might snap the guy out of his funk includes fighting off humankind's impending destruction at the toothy maw of bloodthirsty, otherworldly demons. ...and metal. This comic book smashes together the tactile and ticklish as much as it does the brutal and bombastic; artist Daniel Warren Johnson assembles a world in which the humanity of its heroes rests on a pendulum that pivots freakishly fast between liability and liberation. Can Jake reunite with his bassist (Johann) and drummer (Jimi) and wield the sacred tools of the metal gods to fend off the bad guys and beasties? Can Jake reconnect with his estranged wife, Anne, who has been waiting for him, for who knows how long, to reconcile his guilt and anxiety just long enough to ask for help? MURDER FALCON stomps through monsters and mayhem and personal indiscretions, yielding only to the grind of ambition and the humility of affection. ...and metal. The brazen falcon demigod in Chuck Taylors and muscling a bionic arm who sups light beer and tames all-beef burgers is a pretty solid dude. Same with the mastodon and the leviathan. They draw their power from the righteous vibes of heavy metal. And as ridiculous and wild as it sounds, there's no better group of awkward and struggling adults better positioned to shred than a man struggling with his health (Jake), a guy in search of belonging (Johann), a woman just trying to hold her family together (Jimi), and a woman clawing back toward normalness after being abandoned to the cold, dark world (Anne). Yes, the monsters who would trap humankind in mind-numbing dreams and suck up their lifeforce have nothing against those whose life experiences so earnestly speak, quintessentially, to the human experience. ...and metal. DWJ's art crushes it, again, pulling into frame phenomenal character expressions, defiant inlaid text, and production and setting art whose details are jealously cinematic in nature. From a dinghy off the coast of Japan to a cross-dimensional plane that serves as the origin of all metal music (fittingly called, "The Heavy"), the art of MURDER FALCON is a thrill because of its audaciousness. But the comic is also inscrutably personal. Jimi's father's declining health means the man's grasp on the world around him feathers away, day by day. Anne loves Jake, even after he fell into depression and abandoned her; and the frantic, agonizing, and sometimes bottomless pit of dynamics gone wrong steals the spotlight. The struggle is real. But through it all, the comic teaches readers to never forget the purpose of the bonds of allyship, of having a voice, or of lending a hand in need to someone you love. ...and metal.

A Cyborg Casino Adventure

Inspired by my own attempts to win some money online with blackjack in a Tether casino (I didn't fare well), I had AI Dungeon write this short little adventure in a futuristic cyborg casino.

You are Karvus, a cyborg living in the the futuristic city of Zail. You have a bionic arm and a holoband. You're walking down the dark city streets while neon lights flash brightly above you. As you pass an alley you see a group of four men beating another man. You intervene and knock the four men to the ground. The beaten man looks at you and gives you a relieved smile. "Thank you," he says.

You help the man to his feet.

You take the man's hand. "Come on," you say. "Let's get out of here." The two of you walk away.

You say "Do you know if there are any casinos nearby?"

"Sure," the man says. "Why?" "Because I've got a big gambling debt to pay off," you say. You walk into a casino. The casino is filled with plenty of different games, and as you are an expert in blackjack, you head straight for the blackjack tables. You find one with two other players already seated. The robot dealer asks if you want in for this round. You are about to agree, when you hear a buzzing noise in your pocket.

You check your pocket.

You check your pocket and find a text message. Hey Karvus, how did the battle go? -Sara Karvus, great news! I managed to steal some crucial military technology!

You write a message back to Sara and let her know you're about to win a small fortune playing blackjack.

Hey Sara, I'm about to win a fortune. I'll send you the money after I win. The dealer deals you a pair of eights.

You split your bet.

The dealer gives you a nice stack of chips. "I'm sorry, sir," the dealer says. "I can't pay you that much." "That's a rip off," you say.

You grab the dealer by the neck with your bionic arm.

The dealer struggles to get away. "You're a cheat," you say. "Let go of me, Karvus," the dealer says.

You shoot the dealer with your laser pistol.

You pull the trigger and shoot the dealer in the head. The dealer falls to the ground and the game is over. The two other players are staring at you, their eyes wide with shock. "What the hell?"

I had a dream last night that I was watching and reviewing a fully-animated nightmare sequence for KO CRISIS I had made. It was so crazy vivid that I woke up and still remembered the whole thing. Rough approximation of the the sequence as boards.

It's fun watching myself lean away from KO CRISIS's original sports anime starting point and more into psychological horror. I'm definitely taking more inspiration from Perfect Blue and Utena now. I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with editing techniques to make dreamy sequences, even in my sleep apparently.
