Tonight's attempt at making a home-made meat feast pizza, with mince, pepperoni, chorizo slices and thin ham.

Things went a bit wrong trying to transfer it to a pre-heated tray as we forgot to make the thing on a baking sheet. XD

The minute I unlocked Party mode, I knew I HAD to try this. XD

What can I say? I love werewolves and werewolf-likes. 💜💙

Crop of the character select screen from Vampire Survivors, showing four werewolves/werewolf-likes. Player One is Cornell from the Castlevania series in his werewolf form. The other three players, controlled by the CPU, are Minnah (Vampire Survivors original), Brad Fang (from the Contra series) and Kugutsu (from the SaGa series). Screenshot from Vampire Survivors, showing four werewolves preparing to face a group of bats in a field.

Got nostalgic for old artwork and fursonas last night, so peeked through my gallery.

Always loved this piece by Quill/Murmur, which I based on an indie horror film called Red Victoria, a fun horror comedy about a hack horror writer cursed with a very possessive undead muse. XD
A black wolf with dreadlocks, a brown shirt and jeans is huddled in a corner, pulling at his dreads in frustration while clutchign his stomach in nausea. Behind him is a white and grey husky woman with black hair, wearing a tattered and torn red dress and with a gaping hole in her stomach. She is casually holding out her intestines like a child wanting to show a parent a pretty rock.

Perhaps I should show you, eh? XD

This delightful Halloween piece by @shimmi.art was a really pleasant surprise.

Will you be able to resist this siren's call? Or will you find yourself headed for a watery grave? 💜💙
Artwork of Leina, a big pink and blue red panda woman, standing on a shore ankle-deep in the water on a moonlit night. She is wearing nothing but what looks like ship rigging on her breasts and hips, her long blue hair flowing behind her and gradually turning the colour of seaweed. She is peering at the viewer with emerald-green eyes and beckoning them to her with her finger, her mouth open as she sings a siren song. Behind her, a wrecked ship can be seen, her most recent victim.

First fursuit photo?

I can't find the ones I took, myself, so this one by Arctic Steve at CFz 2014 was taken just before the first time I made my first public fursuit outing.

The later bows really are delightfully silly. XD
Zoomed-in screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV. My character - a blue-furred Hrothgar - is readying a longbow that also looks like an electric guitar.

Trying to lift my spirits with the Halloween event in FFXIV, and decided to don my attempt at a costume; a big cat plague doctor. XD
Screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV. The player character is standing outside a spooky mansion in traditional plague doctor garb (or at least something close to it in this game).

No-one would've believed, in the early years of the seventeenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space...

It's totally incredible to me that a Usagi Yojimbo/The War of the Worlds crossover exists. :D

Working on my book reminded me of this, the first PC game I ever played. Just look at that cover; it's like something off a prog rock album.
The cover of Storm Master, an old fantasy strategy game that appeared on Amiga, Atari ST and PC (PC version pictured). The cover shows robed figures standing on a desolate landscape, looking up at a flying machine like it is their last great hope.

Thanks so much for the chance! 💜💙

If you see this, quote your top 4 Final Fantasy games.

Admittedly I need to play more games in the series, but these are my picks so far.

Treated myself to these today. Mazin Wars is a game I'm very curioud about, while FIFA 95 is my way of writing an old wrong (I asked my dad to get it many years ago and he got me Super Kick Off instead).
Boxed copies of Mazin Wars and FIFA '95 for the Sega Mega Drive. Mazin Wars is missing the manual, while FIFA '95 is complete.

If you see this QTP with a game that released in the year you were born.

With probably the greatest boxart ever. XD
The boxart for Jet Set Willy, the sequel to Manic Miner, published by Software Projects. The title is spray-painted onto the wall of a bathroom, and the titular Willy (wearing both a tailcoat and a pair of miner's boots) is being sick into a toilet after one raucous party too many. A butler who looks like a penguin is peering into the room and looking rather alarmed at his employer's condition.

Seeing Amber Isle on my feed has got me thinking again about getting some help in modifying my in-game character to be a full dino OC. I'm thinking a T-Rex. 💜💙
Screenshot from Amber Isle, with the player character talking to Kipper, a small and eccentric animal who is referencing the War of the Worlds album. Text: Kipper: The clever man says "The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one... but still they come." Screenshot from Amber Isle, showing the player character talking to Poppy, a T-Rex wearing a fancy jacket and neck-ruff. Text: ???: Me? I'm... Poppy Rexheart... Yeah, from those Rexhearts. My parents do iconic screams in a film or two and suddenly that's all I'm known for... Screenshot from Amber Isle, showing the player character making a sale to a crocodile-like dinosaur who wears a hat and jacket like Crocodile Dundee. I had just made a sale, continuing a streak, and my customer seems so overjoyed he gave me a significant tip.
