Does Tron work as an actual videogame? 44 years of ‘fighting for the user’

By Neil Merrett Tron: Catalyst, released on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, developed by Bithell Games The Tron series has long played around with the idea of players becoming lost in videogames and digital worlds.  Yet beyond its fanciful and stylistically retro world of neon super soldiers keeping out of our screens, it isn’t a million miles from conveying the complexity of our current real-world…

I just feel like everyone should know that every "Based on your likes" rec tumblr has given me is solely @jasontoddsguns a blog which I already follow, have notifications for, and frequently reblog from. The only logical answer is that tumblr is trying really hard to ship us 😘

Ayo, got any headcanons for your User?

Sure!

The user likes being called Gaia, so for the sake of respect, we're gonna called her Gaia.

Her whole childhood was comprised of pixel games.

Had to familiarize Game and GiGi with modern slang and customs.(and succeeded!... Somewhat.)

Gaia and Mr. Glitch go WAY back, they both don't know it just yet.

Reads manga and fantasy books with the others when she's not busy

She can't help but feel oddly familiar whenever she's around Mr.Glitch, The Hero, and The Princess...

Was accepted by the D.O.P (Department Of Protagonists) as an Interdimensional enforcer. Before that, she met some of the protagonists that worked there.

Is absurdly powerful compared to Game and the others, but that doesn't stop him from treating her like a parent would their edgy teen kid.

Calls the group name for Game, GiGi, Mr. Glitch, and herself, 4G.

She's currently working on a lil' project of hers that'll let her and the others speak through a physical appearance.

Could literally delete someone from existence Monika-Style and bring them back via flash drive. Which garnered her the reputation of "Internet Goddess."

Picked up her name from "Legend of the Secret" If that wasn't obvious.

She feels like her job at the D.O.P is taking away from the time she could be spending with her found family, so she limited her work to 5 days a week.

Gaia was pretty tall and intimidating and never really talked much IRL, the last person one would expect to be interested in "Nerdy" hobbies like reading manga and fantasy books.

Likes short people who she can "Hold gentle, like burger."

Has RBF (Resting bitch face. and yes, this is a real thing.)

Knew a pair of kids who were her neighbors named David and Mike. They would come back from school and rave about video games to her and such. She misses them sometimes.

Aaaand here we have the User! I wanted to give them a more gender neutral look since I didn’t want to project any particular gender on them, so they can be whatever gender you want! Boy, girl, nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, transfemme, transmasc, etc. Either way, they love messing with Game. 

Also, the school semester is ending in a few weeks and I am up to my armpits in final projects, so I won’t be drawing Glitch or Gigi or anything else really until then. The only reason I finished User is because I make bad decisions and I stayed up until 2:30 am last night to finish coloring this because I have no self control and I wanted to finish this baby. Anyway, wish me luck! :’D

9, 39, 49?? -abby/pianjeong

abby ily!

9. Have you ever written for a fandom without watching/reading/playing the source material?

when i was 5 i wrote “harry potter” fanfiction, or what i perceived harry potter to be about. i don’t know what it entailed, i don’t know what i thought the franchise was, but i do have vivid memories of me and my co-author (my best friend ever in kindergarten) would read it aloud to the class <3 LMAO 

39. Do you consider yourself to have a readership?

ok interesting question... sometimes i will definitely notice a commenter on several works, but idk if i consider that a “readership”? 🤔 

49. Has anyone in your life ever read your fanfic just because you wrote it?

i have sent some of my stories to irl friends who definitely read it just bc i wrote it... i have had some fandom circles where it’s like “ok ... funky concept but if it’s vaenire writing it...” but other than like knowing i’ve sent something directly to an individual/group, idk if someone’s read it just based on my name being on it!  LOL 

if you’ve read something because you recognized me as the author please lmk! i have no concept of myself or other’s perception of me! 

send me fanfic author asks <3
