Hey man are you doing okay. I saw you changed your Nintendo Switch profile icon from that Star Fox babe to a picture of Luigi holding the barrel of a gun against his nuts. Is that from one of the Luigi's Mansions? I'm here for you no matter what but I never played any of em. No spoilers please.

This male Resplendent Quetzal was a nice surprise at our cabin when we arrived at San Gerardo de Dota this afternoon.

How the Grinch Swole Christmas

Every Who down in Whoville skipped leg day a lot. But the Grinch, who had quads like a horse, did not
Possibly AI generated pair of pants that (intentionally?) look like the bottom half of a Grinch bodybuilder. Caption says “Men’s Christmas Clothings are on sale”

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse
4 panel comic Panel 1: Red Guy looking way way too happy yells “Hey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” Blue Guy next to him calmly says “Shhh” Panel 2: Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says “You don’t have to do this” Panel 3: Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats “You don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break. Panel 4: Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

Princess Calla wearing a tank top, cargo pants, combat boots and a ton of leather holsters/pouches, determinedly holding her sword in front of her as she stands in the debris of a knocked down section of brick wall, a slum like city looming up and glowing behind her against the night sky.

Board game stuff:
Anyone want to sell or trade for a copy of Stationfall? I was Crestfallen when I saw it was published by Ion. They stoped printing it, removed it from their website, and salted the earth where it rested.
A box for the board game Stationfall. A space station appears to be heading towards earth, parts exploding off, other parts collapsing. In the foreground is a monkey in a space suit, reaching towards the foreground of the picture with a very shocked look on his face.

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

Autumn journey 🍂🍁
Acrylic gouache painting of a traveller and cat-like creature walking up a huge mossy branch in an even huger forest with yellow leaves, while looking at the view. On the pale yellow sky there's a "V" of large migrating birds, and a town hides in the shadow on the slope of one of the giant trees.
