Got some cute things at Daiso today. They had a decent selection of Kirby merch. I had to buy the socks too, the face on them looks just like a Dracky from Dragon Quest.
A photo of a Kirby drawstring bag and a pair of socks. The drawstring bag has a big picture of Kirby on it looking happy. The background is pale blue with little stars on it. The pair of socks is black with a face on it that has a fanged mouth.

The last figure, Tseng arrived today. I'm so happy to finally own these!
Mini figurines from the video game Final Fantasy 7. They are designed to look like the PS1 polygon art style. The figurines are Tseng, Rufus, and a blue uniformed Shinra Guard.

I knew I'd seen this pattern somewhere before...
An image of a weather radar off the coast of the Eastern US from New York to North Carolina, showing the weather bands of a hurricane. The weather bands are shaped and in the colors of a rainbow. The LJN logo is in the bottom-left corner.

Sometimes I forget why I stopped watching wrestling back then and then I see stuff like this and remember exactly why, among other reasons.
A simplistic black and white cartoon drawing of a person saying "yea." The person is smiling but their eyes look tired and weary.

The 2nd time this week I've thought, "I'm so glad I unaffiliated from Twitch."

2nd time this week. It's Tuesday...
A single panel from a comic strip featuring Tintin, Haddock the Captain, and Snowy the dog. Captain Haddock is saying "What a week, huh?" and Tintin replies, "Captain, it's Tuesday". Meanwhile, Snowy is sniffing the top of a drinking glass, perhaps about to drink it. The beverage looks like beer.

These showed up in the mail today and I couldn't be happier!! I've wanted to own these for a very long time.
A set of collectible Final Fantasy 7 miniature figurines. They look like the polygon artstyle of the original Playstation game.

My brain:
The title card for the start of every level in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It says "Donut taco palace zone 3" and "Sonic the Hedgehog." The background is divided into three colorful sections of red, blue, and yellow.

Cactuar Conductor, WoFF.
or
Jumbo Cactuar, FF8.
A screenshot from the game World of Final Fantasy. It shows a scene inside of a train car with a small cactus-shaped creature (Cactuar) in the middle. The train has a red carpet, bright windows, and bench seating with wooden frames and gold trim. The seats have plush red seats. The cactus-shaped creature is wearing a train conductor hat and holding a train lantern and whistle. The Cactuar is saying, "I am indeed a Mirage! But I'm also the conductor of this train. Your tickets, please!" The polygon model of a Jumbo Cactuar enemy from the game, Final Fantasy 8. It is a giant green cactus-shaped creature with bent arms and legs in a running position. It has 3 brown needles on the top of its head that look like 3 spiky hairs. It has two round black eyes and a round black mouth. It has a thin, curly black mustache.

I love that Squeenix is making plushies of more obscure Slimes. I wish they would offer a wider selection of DQ/Slime merch in the US, though.

I want one of these Star Slime plushies so bad now! Right along with the Strawberry Slime Coronet plush.
A plushie of a Dragon Quest Slime, the Strawberry Coronet aka Pasty Pastry. It is a pale pink round slime with a smiling face on it and a few freckles on each cheek. It's inside a pale yellow coronet pastry, similar to how a hermit crab lives in a shell. It's very cute!

Post your first RPG.

Mine was Secret of Mana. It being action-based helped my kid brain begin to understand RPGs. I still don't think I truly understood stats until later (probably FF7 or Persona 1). I'm thankful it was SoM, it led me down the path of playing every SNES Squaresoft RPG I could find.
The box for the Super NES version of Secret of Mana. The art features the three protagonists standing in a lush green forest with red crane-like birds flying past. A screenshot from the Super NES game Secret of Mana. The three protagonists are standing in the middle of the screen in a town setting in front of an Inn. There is green grass, some flowers and stepping-stone paths scattered around. There are white stone buildings with brick detail, and blue tile roofs with green moss growing on them.

In general, Live A Live thematically is incredible in that aspect. I didn't want to link to these scenes because both are well into spoiler territory. I felt both these scenes were worth highlighting:
Text boxes cropped from the Live A Live remake. Kato is speaking and says: "We're... we're all just... Stuck in our heads. Too caught up in our own worries to notice when others are hurting... Unable to see beyond our own wants and wounds - beyond the life we wish we had and think we deserve... We're just people!" Text boxes cropped from the Live A Live remake. Uranus is speaking, and says: "In darkness dare not despair. 'Tis a test. Do we surrender to sorrow and hate... Or rise above, and choose instead to trust in one another..."

So, out of these 3 choices, the middle one. I'd love to have so many of the little stacking monsters.

What I'd really love most of all, is the Woosh-resisting ones:
A photo collage of a Japanese gachapon item of Dragon Quest monsters. The monsters all look like they're being blown by heavy wind (the Woosh spell in the game). There are Healslimes, Drackys, Slimes, and Sabercats showed in the picture.

This was really cute.

A screenshot from Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. On the left is Tangy, a cat villager who looks like an orange, with a green leaf for hair, wearing a blue and white top. On the right is my player character with green hair, a gold-starry wreath hat, blue wings, and a long black dress. I'm giving Tangy a gift. The text says, "It said to give this card to my best friend, so... I'm giving it to you, Tangy."

I probably should do this too.

Introducing myself with 4 games:
The cover art for Animal Crossing Population Growing for the Gamecube. The art has a white house with brown trim and red roof, with a green-leafed tree on each side, a picket fence, a red mailbox, green grass, gray pavement, and a gyroid in front. A human villager is standing in the open front door. Bill, a brown duck is standing to the left. Gaston, a yellow rabbit with a black mustache is in the upstairs front window. Lulu, a white-and-pink panda bear is in the right first floor window. Mitzi and Punchy, two cats, are in the top-right upstairs window. The cover art for Dragon Quest Builders 2. Two human builders are in the art. One has spiky blonde hair and is swinging a wooden mallet. One has blonde pigtails and is carrying a brick block. Malroth is standing on the right with his club on his shoulder. A Blue Slime is hanging out and being cute right in the middle. The cover art for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy 3. The art has a Moogle on it and a purple shadow of a monster is in the background. The cover art for the Super Famicom version of Live a Live. It features art of the protagonists of the game: Sundown the Cowboy, Akira the psychic teen, Masaru the fighter, Cube the robot, Shifu the martial artist, Pogo the caveman, and Oboromaru the ninja.

Idk what's going on with that pillowcase creature, but it's kind of amazing. I get a little bit of Hanna-Barbara Cartoons and Banana Splits vibes from it though???
A picture of The Banana Splits band/entertainment group. It's 4 mascot suits of psychadelic-styled animals: an orange ape wearing white-frame sunglasses and a yellow vest, a light brown beagle dog wearing a red bow tie and its tongue sticking out, a gray elephant with pink ears and toes wearing red and pink round sunglasses, and a light brown lion with a big red nose wearing yellow-framed square-shaped sunglasses. All four creatures are wearing red marching-band style hats with bright yellow trim.

Been playing Pikmin Bloom casually and it's cute. So far, I think this is my favorite common decor bub:
A Rock Pikmin with Hamburger decoration from the game Pikmin Bloom. The rock pickmin is a metallic-gray angular stone. The hamburger has a top and bottom bun with a bite taken out of it. There is green lettuce, white onion, red tomato, green pickles, yellow cheese, and a brown hamburger patty on the burger. The Pikmin's leaf is poking out the top of the bun, and its feet are sticking out the bottom of the bun.

I played Animal Crossing Pocket Camp/ACPC since launch, daily for 7 years, and completed every event, f2p. I'm getting ready to play the upcoming offline version of the game.

Got any AC/ACPC questions? Ask away!

#animalcrossing #ACPC
My Animal Crossing Pocket Camp character who has green hair, a squirrel on her head, and a white, brown, and yellow dress on. She's in my cabin room with starry walls and floor, and many pieces of sparkly and glowing furniture. There are multi-color crystals, stars, and softly-glowing lights around the room.
