He puts so much weight on his neck when he does this it strains my wrist and I worry he’s gonna hurt himself. I can feel his windpipe and it’s purring like crazy.

@rezllen.bsky.social that last tag reminded me that a friend made me this the other night for probably self-evident reasons

The Onion Sicko except his shirt says “sick” and his dialogue says “NO…cough cough…NO!” And he’s sad, also.

We went out to Arcana afterwards and here are the cocktails I had in order. Best was either #1 (very savory and cumin-forward. Unique!) or #3 (very fruity).

They should use the Talz more too. They don’t have much going on I just think they’re neat. I guess I’m just listing good Star Wars aliens now.

A Talz, a furry sloth-like mien, four big round black eyes, and a little micropenis-esque probiscus.

Made my first truly custom ZCom character tonight.

Steven Delicious, the Devaronian operator.

BACKGROUND
Zero Company's biggest fan. He got the embroidered jacket and tattoo before he joined. Hawks felt too bad to ask him to leave.

He’s wearing a bright orange shirt, headband, and pants, with black accents. He’s red skinned with black devil horns.

A closeup of Steven Delicious. He has a thin black mustache and orange eyes, with an orange tattoo on his lower lip.

A shot of Steven Delicious from behind. He has a black zero tattooed on the back of his head, and an even bigger one embroidered on the back of his jacket.

Having a lot of fun with ZCom but I’m not even 10 hours in and this is the second time I’ve gotten softlocked so far. (Hawks stood up after a mission and immediately clipped into his desk)

First party Nintendo prices make no sense to me at this point. Mario Kart also $109. Splatoon Raiders and Metroid Prime 4 $84.99. Pokopia and ZA at $99.99. Kirby and the Forgotten Land at $114.99. Did Nintendo hire PriceMaster or what.
