I'm forming a shofar ensemble for the sole purpose of releasing a covers album called Honkin' on Shofo. Like, imagine a whole band of Gary Oldmans from The Unborn just blasting those huge shofars! Please do not steal this million-dollar idea!!

This is doing the rounds again, only it's formative games this time. Here are mine, none of which are surprising!

I feel like I'm required by law to show @lordbbh.bsky.social this Ripper Ribbit cab that was converted to a chintzy-looking multicade thing. (The photos aren't mine; they're from the Weird Arcade Conversions FB group - www.facebook.com/groups/23510...)

A Ripper Ribbit arcade machine with its branding and controls removed and replaced by a joystick, six buttons, and a graphic that reads ARCADE CLASSICS.

Low-effort OC because this was my first thought when I saw this ad. 👻💅

Text at the top of the page reads

"you better not be a cunty Pinky when I get there."

me:

Below that is an image of Pinky, the pink ghost from Pac-Man, with long eyelashes and lipstick on striking a sassy hand-on-hip pose beside a pink Atari VCS joystick. The background is light pink with segments of a Pac-Man maze in darker pink scattered throughout.

Video System's Power Spikes II really coming through with the character names.

I caught this dude eyeballing my presents through the window but he ran off when he realized I saw him. It's on sight, Grink!!

The view across two houses' front yards with an inflatable Grinch decoration in the distance facing away from the camera. There's a teal circle around the Grinch decoration.

Dumb OC for which I might be the only audience! Pantone has gotten it wrong two years in a row, but Kouichi Yotsui has never missed. (Or maybe he has, but I've never played a game he worked on that was bad.)

This image is split into four quadrants.

In the upper left, there's a blonde woman shown from the shoulders up with a disgusted look on her face, as if she's reacting to what's directly to her right.

In the upper right, there's a promotional image for Cloud Dancer, Pantone's 2026 color of the year. It depicts the white color swatch and name, along with a person striking a triumphant pose and looking toward a cloudy sky.

In the lower left, there's an image of the same woman from the upper left quadrant with an intrigued look on her face, as if she's reacting to what's directly to her right.

In the lower right is a flyer / instruction card for the arcade game Cannon Dancer, depicting which joystick and button commands produce which in-game moves.

Oh, so when Sony Pictures does it, it's a "partnership to promote Ghostbusters," but when I do it, it's a lifetime ban for "flagrantly violating the terms of service." I thought this was America!

A screenshot from the Wikipedia entry for Ghostbusters (2016) which reads "Sony partnered with Snapchat to promote the film with 'busting' and 'sliming' features."

Low-effort OC because I saw this pic of scary bread!

A loaf of lemon raspberry bread with filling that looks like an evil smiling face. A caption at the top reads "Therapist: The IRL evil Illbleed bread isn't real, it can't hurt you. The IRL evil Illbleed bread:"

Ambient/industrial legends Dead Voices On Air are playing Memphis for the first/last time tomorrow night. The show is at B-Side. Doors are at 8:00. Cover is $15. Artificer and I are opening, and I'm so excited. I've been listening to DVOA since the '90s and never thought I'd see them. Come out!!

More really stupid low-effort OC. I love SRSQ so much. I just made this because her pointy sunglasses make me think of Mouser's.

Jacques Granger @jacquesgranger.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

Please enjoy this dumb, low-effort OC inspired by my seeing a pic of Jeffrey Lee Pierce and genuinely mistaking him for Bobcat Goldthwait with bleached hair.

This is like the dumbest OC I've ever done.

Great for when you're dressing as Terry Funk for Halloween and then playing Jesus in a passion play a couple months later.

These are in no particular order, and the three movies added by this reader are: - Lake Mungo (Joel Anderson, 2008) - The Love Witch (Anna Biler, 2016) - The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears (Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, 2013)

More low-effort OC! I love both of these records, FWIW!

The cover of Bobby Caldwell's self-titled album, which features a man sitting on a bench in silhouette against a blue background with half of a large circular sun to the right. To the immediate right is the cover of Robert Ashley's Automatic Writing album, which features a similar design of black silhouettes on a black background. Above the Caldwell album is text reading "every masterpiece," and above the Ashley album is text reading "has its cheap copy."

I'm playing in this ensemble tonight. It's going to be a good time. If you're in or near Memphis, consider coming out!

Yes, I'm religious. I believe in the holy trinity.

Sometimes I get these super-dumb ideas in my head and just have to get them out. (Also that's my favorite Fall alb!)

OC that's definitely a joke and stuff.

Video game that should get a sequel, but never will.

Man, I'm just trying to buy some clothes and now I have to worry about catching a piledriver or getting bonked with a steel pipe? I've never been more scared in my life!
