Awareness is key to preventing Lyme disease, as well as preventing it from progressing to advanced stages that can be incredibly disabling.” Yet, many people are unaware of the dangers of tick exposure, and the need for tick checks when returning from outdoor activities. Linda Giampa, executive director of the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, also reiterated the need for awareness, noting that “Santa Clara’s beautiful weather and gorgeous terrain give residents many reasons to spend time outdoors. “The debilitating illness took us to 26 different doctors and specialists over an entire year, before a diagnosis was eventually made because of the widespread and mistaken notion that Lyme does not exist in California.” “My family was exposed at a Santa Clara County park,” Lari said. Raeena Lari, a San Jose resident, welcomed the awareness initiative by Supervisor Dave Cortese. Early detection is key for a quick recovery, and that is where awareness can be life-altering. Representing a significant public health threat, Lyme is an infectious disease transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick, found in 56 out of 58 counties in California-or 97 percent. Lyme Disease and its co-infections represent the fastest-growing vector-borne disease in the country. “Thank you to the Bay Area Lyme Foundation for bringing awareness to this tick-borne disease and the precautions we can take to prevent it.” “With our belief that being outside is safer than being inside in preventing COVID-19 transmissions, it is important that we call attention to Lyme Disease, which is also a significant public health threat,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese. On May 13, the Santa Clara County also promoted National Lyme Disease Awareness Month and the Center for Disease Control’s “Tick Lunch and Learn Series” on the County’s social media presence.

![]() Kimura-san: In my mind? Always? No! It was all down to how the game idea developed. That vision was a "Retro Hotel," rather like Namco's Mappy.Ĭubed3: Was it always meant to be a mobile title? At first it was going to be simply a pure "whack a mole" type affair, but while I was playing it I saw vision in my brain. uuumh… a pure flash from space! I often love to play strange games. I was drawing a Manga comic, called "Peace Robot." The robot was talking often, saying, "Peace, peace, yeah." This was his peace movement! This is same concept as in Million Onion Hotel.Īs for the game system, it came from. Kimura-san: From life? Maybe? The story came from my childhood. He is the composer from Chulip and Moon.Ĭubed3: How did the idea for Million Onion Hotel come about? What was the inspiration behind it? Taniguchi-san has been working with me from the Lovedelic era. The programmer is Takuma-san, who was lead programmer on Dandy Dungeon. They also worked with me on Little King's Story! He also worked with me from Rule of Rose till Lollipop Chainsaw. Kimura-san: Kurashima-san has been making games with me since the Square era. So I am no longer bothered too much by this curse! In the near future, I will be able to find a way to make my own game again, similar to what I did with Million Onion Hotel.Ĭubed3: The staff on Million Onion Hotel is very experienced! For those that are unaware, can you mention what projects they've worked on before? Million Onion Hotel belongs to me - 100%. It is the curse of the Japanese videogame industry. ![]() I do not have the right to make a new Chulip by my choice. But the problem that started after living as professional was that even though I was making videogames with my own ideas, 100% of my art, purely, fundamentally the publishers had all the rights. After becoming a professional videogame maker, I made many original games. The first game was my own personal game - simply for me alone. Kimura-san, Onion Games: I have been making videogames since I was 13 years old. I also love Steam and Undertale, and Toby the Fox!Ĭubed3: When did you decide that you actually wanted to make your own games? Yoshiro Kimura-san: I love Switch from Nintendo. Released so far on Android and Apple iOS formats, Onion Games' Yoshiro Kimura - who most will know from his illustrious game-making past - sat down with Cubed3 to answer various questions on his background, the game experience itself, and what the future has in store for lucky gamers eager to get more goodness from Kimura-san and his highly skilled team.Ĭubed3's Thom Compton and Joshua Di Falco: Are there any particular games or consoles that you like right now? Cubed3 recently knuckled down and took a look at a very intriguing new game on both Android and iOS formats called Million Onion Hotel. Years after his first meeting with Sojobo (see Volume 18: Travels with Jotaro) but before the events that would see him become a wandering ronin, a young Usagi returned to the tengu and convinced him to take him on as a pupil, enhancing his knowledge of the sword with Sojobo’s unique teachings. These stories are set right after the events of the last volume, and swiftly tell the story of Usagi and his mostly hidden second sword master, the tengu warrior Sojobo. ![]() Due to how closely linked these two stories are, with Sojobo providing the background to the longer Tengu War! story, I decided to talk about them as a single entity in this article. Made up of the first four issues of the volume, this entry actually consists of two stories, Sojobo and Tengu War!, which act together to tell one entire story, with Sojobo containing flashbacks to Usagi’s past, and Tengu War! featuring the current issue he and his friend are facing. The first entry is the volume’s main multi-issue story that sees Usagi return to visit an old teacher only to find himself embroiled in a deadly supernatural war. All four stories are fun and compelling new additions to the series that each present the reader with something different and distinctive. Set immediately after the final comic of the previous volume and continuing several overarching storylines and themes, Tengu War! contains four unique new stories which were set out in issues #15-21 of the IDW run on the Usagi Yojimbo series. Tengu War! ended up being another great volume that makes use of Sakai’s skill and art to tell several complex and entertaining tales. In addition, the IDW volumes are also released in colour, which is an interesting change of pace from the previous volumes, which were initially released in black and white. I have been rather enjoying these more recent Usagi Yojimbo volumes from IDW as not only do they contain Stan Sakai’s usual impressive storylines, characters and artistic work but they are also packaged into a fantastic new format of booklet, which is slim and more aesthetically pleasing. ![]() Tengu War! is the 36 th overall volume in this series as well as the third volume printed by the publisher IDW (other IDW Usagi Yojimbo releases include Volume 34: Bunraku and Other Stories and Volume 35: Homecoming). This latest volume is Tengu War!, an intriguing and powerful comic that contains some awesome and clever new tales. ![]() Unfortunately, Sakai only releases one volume of this epic series a year, so it is a very big deal when I finally get my hands on the latest volume (this latest volume has been one of my most anticipated releases for 2022 for a while now). ![]() Not only is this one of my favourite all-time comic book series but I have been steadily reviewing some of the older volumes as part of my Throwback Thursday series (see my recent reviews for Volume 12: Grasscutter, Volume 13: Grey Shadows and Volume 14: Demon Mask). Fans of this blog will be well aware of my all-consuming love for this amazing series that follows a roaming rabbit ronin, Miyamoto Usagi, as he traverses an intriguing alternate version of feudal Japan inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. It is that amazing time of the year when I finally get my hands on the brand-new volume of the long-running Usagi Yojimbo comic series, written and drawn by the legendary Stan Sakai.
