Artwork of Samus from the original ‘Metroid’.
Sliced, stabbed, punctured, bleeding, harassed on all sides by various weaponry, the curious image of Wound Man is a rare yet intriguing presence in the world of medieval and early modern medical manuscripts. In his essay “The Many Lives of the Medieval Wound Man”, Jack Hartnell explores this enigmatic figure’s journey through the centuries: https://buff.ly/2NbwDZp (or click link in bio and search “wound man”)

Let’s all Kickstart this beautiful vertical Switch grip ⊟
This is something I need for my Namco Museum, Ikaruga, etc. sessions, a Switch grip that secures the Joy-Cons to the sides of a tate-mode console. It’s designed by Jeremy Parish of Retronauts/Game Boy Works/a million other things/most of my professional goals, along with Mike Choi (who made the great IRL Tiny seen in our Twitter header) and Club Tiny supporter Fangamer.
The Flip Grip not only allows you to use the Switch in handheld mode, it also has a slot in which you can insert a credit card to use as a kickstand. The device is on Kickstarter now. $12 gets you one!
JOIN CLUB TINY AND OUR DISCORD Support Tiny Cartridge!Small correction! Mike Choi was the one who designed this bad boy. I was just the one who said, “Can somebody make this for me?”
But uh yes please help us get it funded so I can have one of these for myself.
