A TTRPG about the endless cycle of death, rebirth, big guts, and bigger guns.
A tabletop game themed after FPS deathmatch made by TerminusEst13, who some of you know as an author of various Doom mods, including the FPS crossover known as Samsara.
If Dr Light has no haters Im dead. Because Im a big fan of the archie comics, and I could deadass make an entire essay about the ethics of what he does with AI. And how its the most fucked up, unpruductive, selfish shit imaginable. (VERY long story short, Why are you giving the tools that have literally no choice but to serve anyone who gains control over them, the ability to be aware and upset by that fact, just so you can play happy family with the two you decided deserve it?)
But the fact that his dream was to creat a robot with free will to do whatever it wanted, got it right first try, but never considered it a success because that robots choice was not to be his perfect little boy is honestly some Shakespeare level shit that I dont think the writers were even aware of.
Honestly, there's not a single version of Dr. Light who isn't directly responsible for the horrors that follow (Ruby Spears highlighted that he's absent-minded and naive, and you can still say it's his fault). The only version of canon that really has him reflect on this is Mega Man Fully Charged, fascinatingly enough, because he arguably undergoes a war event similar to what takes place in the X series.
Dr. Light is an interesting example of what if Victor Frankenstein had the best intentions and still never stopped to consider what giving something life meant, even as the man he worked so closely with drives using sentient beings as mere tools to its horrible ends.
I mean. The guy is flawed, but my read was always that he considered Blues a success in making a robot with free will but his *own* failure as a father. Making more kids wasn't trying to replace Blues, it was trying again to try and get it right on his end.
A lot of the frankly absurd things about X (how unkillable he is, the rigours of testing he went through, the Light Capsules continuing support of him) could all be inferred as continuations of Dr. Light's regret about how he failed Blues, and later Rock and Roll.
I agree that Dr. Light is a walking ethics violation in general, and that his carelessness makes the world worse a lot of the time. But I disagree with the read that he ever really gives up on Blues in most continuities. Their relationship might be beyond repair, but there's a difference between that and not considering him a successful example of free will, or his real son.
I think Fully Charged is a correct continuity to point to for when he gets it right, though, and even in that one he totally beefed things with Namagem. Dr. Light's parenting of Aki in the context of knowing the whole time that he's really Mega Man is very hands-off when he needs to be, but emotionally supportive. He's actively gauging the need for Aki to develop his own independence versus his need for support and striking more or less the right balance. This is the kind of parenting that Blues could have used!
It's easy to look at a bad parent and paint them as intentionally malicious or neglectful, but the truth is that a lot of parents just suck. In a boring, non abusive, non evil way. It's possible to be a bad parent and fuck everything up with the best of intentions and while putting all of your abilities into it. It's possible to be a bad parent with all the love in your heart while trying as hard as you can. And I think it's still more than okay as Blues to be mad at Dr. Light for this, but I think it's a severe misrepresentation of these kinds of situations to paint one party as a villain.
Congrats to @chronicdelusionist on finishing Pokeymanz!! Your little guys are taking a break from their hard work.
Time lapse under the cut!

Fanfic on Sunday! (Nostalgia)
Fandom: Mega Man (Cartoon 1994) / Date: 02.03.2025 / Fanfic: 1
Dear readers, this month Sunday posts will contain recommendations for stories from older franchises. We start with a quite specific case. This is not just simply a Mega Man fanfic. The series done by the Ruby-Spears Productions is quite crazy. 😆
If you wish to have a good laugh, go and watch the first episode. It will make you smile and is alreadey enough background info to be able to read the fanfic. It just that simple. (link below the fic)
As for the fan fiction, the author has done great work preseving the atmosphere of the cartoon and was still able to create a heartfell moment between the estranged brothers. This is remarkable considering how wacky the series is. Leave some kudos and write some comments if you decide to read the fanfic. Remember to be kind. We want to encourage people and not scare them off.

Being forced to spend hours in a darck place, helpplessy waiting to get rescued, is bad enough. However, since Protoman is a robot, this is more an enoyence than a life-threatening situation. So, the true drama here is that he has to spend this time with his worst enemie; his brother! Or is it?
Leave also a like for Lost Media Archivers, for making it possible to still watch the episode.
Whoa, I'll be sure to leave a comment on this one! The author seems at once sexy, mysterious, and supernaturally capable, don't you think?
Real talk, thank you for the rec! I'm fond of this one, it was written on request for a dear friend of mine.
my favorite mm fandom thing is seeing which completely random side character each person decides is their special little guy. over here we have the person who has drawn nothing but fireman for the past six years, and there's the flame hyenard guy, and if you look over there you'll see the one who has a 300k fanfiction about their extremely specific au where dynamo and signas run an intergalactic mercenary business.
I think I can actually put a finger on why this happens so much in this specific fandom.
It's kinda like... "neat design and concept man you gonna use that"
and nine times outta ten Capcom's like "nah they're just for this one game" or "no actually we're gonna drop this plotline like it never happened" or "we are but we're going to do it in a way that feels like missed potential / begs for elaboration" and leaves lol
Which sounds kinda like I'm admonishing Capcom, but nah, that's just the nature of a character design driven franchise that pulls so heavily from monster of the week Tokusatsu and stuff. They focus on making memorable, novel gameplay experiences. It's nice to see fans picking up their slack, though. I am always down for someone's comfort character and their 900 page sprite comic or whatever
random question about Mega Man 5 (spoilers for the game under the cut)
Ok so I had this random thought that just came out of nowhere but: do you guys think that, in Mega Man 5, Dr. Light knew that he was kidnapped by a fake Protoman? I couldn’t find anything to suggest either way.
Because like… on one hand, it would be kinda wholesome if he did know. It would show that Dr. Light knew his son well enough to tell between him and a copy, or at least that he believed in him so much he would not accept that Protoman actually did all of the things Darkman did.
On the other hand, what if he couldn’t tell? It would highlight that Wily’s robotics skills are really dang good, for one thing. Plus, imagine how that would feel? Imagine being Dr. Light, getting kidnapped by who you are led to believe is your own son.
But basically, I don’t know either way. I therefore decided to turn to the Internet to see what you people think.
I think that
Dr. Light knew it was a fake Blues because for it to be the real Blues would imply that Blues would visit home or willingly stand in the same room as him for anything less than earth-shattering stakes
I LOVE this painting. The tadpole guys in Gemini Man's stage always made it feel like the most in-space of all the levels that are supposed to be in space. Alienesque... and the cool, otherwordly nature of them is so perfectly captured by the colour choices and the brushwork here. And that's not even getting into the POSE! Awesome piece :O
They were playing rock paper scissors in case you were wondering (Fefnir always throws rock).
While II did mistake Zero for a girl the first time I saw him, I never mistook Harpuia for one. (Leviathan does call him ‘pretty boy’ canonically though😆)
Funniest crap ever bro no way
IMAGINE THIS GUYS COME ON
“I thought you were a girl???” 😭☹️🤨💀
“I thought YOU were a girl-” 🤯😔😭💀
*Leviathan and Fefnir dying in the background*
This too is Yuri
Cable Woman Costume Pack
Hey! I have an OC robot master named Cable Woman. I recently made her as a playable skin for the Make A Good Mega Man Level series so I could play it through as her, and I thought others might want to as well since she is objectively very cool.
Here's the link to download all of the costume files, and here's a mirror in case that's not working. Have fun!
Have you played POKEYMANZ Tabletop RPG ?
By ChronicDelusionist
Pokeymanz is a fan-made tabletop RPG for playing as trainers and their 'mons, specifically of the poke-variety! It is engineered after the feel and logic of the anime and manga rather than the games, emphasizing creative and off-the-wall uses of Pokémon moves and abilities.
Make your trainer and assign their strengths and foibles, give them a starter 'mon, and venture out with your friends into the wide, wacky world of Pokeymanz!
Have you played ?
Yes I have played it
No but I've read it
No but I've heard of it
Never heard of it
Hey! I'm the creator of the game. Thanks for throwing my thing up there! But the picture on the post under the logo was actually a print made by artist YukaOmatic on Twitter. It looks like someone made the banner using it without crediting the artist. That's a shame, because it's a really wonderful piece of art! Please give them some love as well. :)
Read this, it’s short and sweet!

HUH? WAIT. IS THAT M- THAT'S ME??? IS THAT ART BASED ON MY F IC-
whoa thank you for the art and the plug, that's so nice of you ;_;/
Fanart for @chronicdelusionist's fic Self-Help. It's the best cool Rollbot!! 💗
SHE'S SO COOOOOOL I love the flair here. I love how it looks like Roll would draw herself, all on a space background looking like a cute magical girl with her deadly beam sabre. I love the rendering and the hair and the way the highlights are done, this is just so top notch overall like WOW!!
What's your opinion on Megaman?
Colored the boys from @chronicdelusionist's still VERY cool fic Self-Help because they're still adorable!!
👀👀👀👀😭😭😭👀👍👍✨😭👀❤️
Emotional reaction aside I really dig the rendering on this. The metal parts are clearly discernable, there's a clear art to the rim lighting to make sure that dark parts on a dark background are clearly discernable, and the colour added to the books scattered around helps strengthen the compositional flow while not popping so much as to be distracting. Wow!!
Doodled the boys from @chronicdelusionist's VERY cool fic Self-Help because they're adorable!!
This is so GOOD. The N64 style controllers filled me with nostalgia... Them. The boys ;_;
Fanart of @chronicdelusionist's super awesome OC Wedge from their super awesome fic "Hi my name is Link and Welcome back to Top Gaming Plays"!
bitch spotted!! Wow, thank you!!! It's him, the problematic one c':
This is so well done on top of being nice actually. The analogous colour scheme, the pose, the anatomy work, the line details... the hilarious cartoon eye on mask being closed too... so cool!
