When people say that ”things were better back in the day,” I can only assume they're talking about 1983 frog phone
A vintage novelty corded telephone designed to look like a green frog. The phone's receiver resembles a frog's head and body, complete with raised eyes and a smooth, rounded shape. The beige coiled cord is attached and bundled with a rubber band, ending in a clear RJ11 connector. The phone rests on a plain white surface.

Sound design in late 70s anime is so enticing.
Love a quiet moment with natural foley on a single track.

Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, frontal three quarters view. White shirt and black pants with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. There are also two necklaces with blue pendants around the form's neck and a pair of green drop earrings pinned close by. Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, view from the back. Black pants pinned to the sewing form with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. The back of the jacket shows the scene from the Ghibli film as a young Howl standing on a meadow catches a falling star. There are other falling stars in the night sky. The meadow is completely beaded and framed in a golden velvet ribbon. Embroidered with golden floss beneath the golden ribbon reads: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man".

Why am I playing @dreamlightvalley.bsky.social if I can't be piloted like the RX-78 by chef rat.

Games should let a rat pilot you.

Follow-up to the "The Lost Levels invalid brothers" post: the game allows for only 8 possible brothers with regular names, of which 2 are valid and 3 are invalid. The remaining invalid brothers that did not come to pass would have been Riolu, Oluig and Igiym. Context in reply.
