I’ll do both. This is Llewelyn, my current D&D character. He’s a Harengon War Wizard, who due to his backstory has currently lost the ability to smile or laugh (campaign is Wild Beyond the Witchlight, where all characters have lost something of at the start).

We had an unexpected visitor drop by last night. Thankfully there was no olfactory evidence of their visit, but I’m really not keen on the idea of a skunk hanging around. Especially if it manages to find its way into the backyard while the dogs are out there.

Fantastic one-two punch on the timeline with this one.
Two skeets. The first is from The New York Times: “Kelly McWilliams is biracial, and she was raised to be proud of her identity, but when she walks into a room, a lot of people perceive her as a white woman. And when she does tell people she’s Black, the situation can get uncomfortable – even scary – very, very fast.”

The second is the horse post this is being posted as a reply to.

Each NONLAND permanent, right?
Natalie Portman as Padmé from Star Wars Episode II. She has a wide grin. This screen is best known from a meme where she makes some kind of assumption on something Anakin says, he looks at her, and she realizes the horrifying implications in the last panel.

Indeed.
Three-panel Garfield comic. Panel 1: Garfield thinks “How come I’ve known you a year, Nermal, and you’re still a tiny kitten?” Panel 2: Nermal thinks “I think small” Panel 3: Nermal thinks “And the coffee and cigarettes don’t hurt”

Started playing Pokémon Crystal in preparation of the impending Bank shutdown. Figured if I was going to do this, it was now or never. Anyway, Shiny Time Onion acquired!

I mean, given what we know so far about each game’s core concept, there’s certainly room for confusion.
A tweet from @phisnom that reads “today’s Nintendo Direct revealed a new Kirby game about exploring a strange world by breaking fake walls to access secret areas & a new Metroid game about eating enemies to absorb their powers.”

It is followed by a screencap of a news article “2 families sue Notth Dakota hospital 38 years after their babies were switched at birth.”

A story in three parts.
Three emails from LEGO.com. The bottom, with a timestamp of 10:58 PM, says “Back in stock - sign up confirmation”. The middle, with a timestamp of 11:01 PM, says “Order now while stock lasts. Great news! The LEGO Rayquaza is back in stock. Stock may be” (that is indeed where it cuts off). The top, with a timestamp of 11:03 PM, says “We’ve got your LEGO order!”.

You release this song into the world and suddenly WotC wraps up previews for their Magic the Gathering x The Hobbit set with the most seductive art of Smaug that they could possibly do. I feel like you altered the fabric of reality on this one.

Sure, I’m pretty regular about sending gifts once I get in a groove with someone. Probably need to start clearing a few people off my Friend list and try to get more regular players.

Every so often, I find a Pokémon Go hitbox that is actually impressive with how bad it is.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a mystery game about a ghost trying to solve the mystery of his own death and identity. Main gameplay involves going back in time to prevent other people’s deaths, using ghost powers to manipulate objects. Puzzles are very Rube Goldberg-esque.

It’s Video Game Night at the baseball park tonight, and they’ve got a whole arcade here! That being said, the glare on these screens right now made it very hard to actually play.

Is Killmonger’s second ability supposed to not go away at end of turn, or will the card be receiving errata?
“Killmonger, Ruthless Usurper” card from the upcoming Magic the Gathering set. Costs 2R; Legendary Creature - Human Villain. Trample; Whenever Killmonger attacks he gets +1/+0 for each artifact defending player controls; Whenever Killmonger deals combat damage to a player, that player sacrifices an artifact of their choice and you create a Treasure token. 3/3

Of note, the second ability does not say “until end of turn”.

One thing I really like about the upcoming Star Fox 64 remake that they’ve shown is that there’s actually a hint toward the alternate boss in Corneria. It always bugged me that of all the game’s missions, the most obtuse was the one in the very first level.

Did they open a little late for weather-related purposes? Sure. But was the grand opening event the best ramen I’ve ever had? Also very, very, yes. The flavor from the beef was perfectly mirrored in the broth, which was in turn absorbed by the noodles. Every bite was pure magic.

One game down of Strixhaven prerelease. Current thought? Killian’s Confidence is just an absurd card. This plus all the Repartee triggers is just silly.
The Magic the Gathering Secrets of Strixhaven prerelease pack themed around Silverquill college. Killian’s Confidence. A Sorcery that costs one White and one Black mana, “Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn. Draw a card.” It also can bring itself back from the graveyard for a single hybrid W/B.

One of Phoenix’s alternate color schemes was a reference, but I agree that a rep would have been nice. I wonder if part of it is whether or not to give away the game’s big twist in a character name?

Pombon especially has some red in its fur that isn’t clear on the 3D model, and I think the contrast is severely needed. That little tuft does so much to help it, it shouldn’t be flat while standing.

The dynamic poses are a bit better, as is the official 2D art. The straight-on camera was definitely an odd choice.

I feel you. And every time it’s “Oh, but I have to at least have a couple of each one, because what if someone wants one they missed and I can trade it to them?”. It’s gotten a little out of hand.

This might be Artemis’ first snow, at least her first significant one. It’s the first one she’s had with us at least, and I don’t think we had anything too heavy last winter. I don’t think she quite knows what to make of it.
