Picked up from @bigbangcomics.bsky.social an hour or so ago. Eager to read all of these.
Two graphic novels and a comic book are pictured. The two graphic novels are "Scarlet Morning" by N. D. Stevenson and "The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor" by Shaenon K. Garrity and Christopher Baldwin. The comic is Powers 25 #2 by Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Avon Oeming, Nick Filardi, and Joshua Reed.

Arrived today! Many thanks to @ettin.itch.io and @freyjavalentine.bsky.social and everyone else who worked on it (don't have my copy with me currently so can't check who all else is in there).

A post from Tumblr. It was posted on May 8th 2022 by bogleech. It reads "As someone around for 9-11 and the "NEVER FORGET NUMBER #1 GREATEST TRAGEDY EVER IN HISTURY" response to it I am in thrilled and invigorated by the fact that younger people just make amogus memes and TikTok nonsense about it. A huge chunk of America cared more about it than any entire genocide and thought you would cry learning about it. They hoped it'd make every generation patriotically angry forever and ever and want to join the military. Instead you Photoshop the towers into squidwards house and shit. Never stop lol". A post from Tumblr by gay-jesus-probably, 13/05/2022. It reads "I’m physically unable to take 9/11 seriously, entirely because my grade 9 english teacher was bizarrely obsessed with it. We basically had an entire unit on 9/11. We watched that documentary from those students that were doing a documentary of firefighters and wound up getting the only footage of the first plane hitting. We did a novel study of a book about some kid being in one of the towers for take your kid to work day and him and his dad squeezing past the wreckage of the plane to escape in time. We watched that Nic Cage movie of him being a firefighter during 9/11 that gets stuck in an elevator shaft when the place collapses. I am dead fucking serious, we had to make up fictional people that died in the attack, write an obituary for our 9/11sona’s, and then write and deliver a eulogy as their grief-stricken parent. At one point in the unit the teacher clarified that she hadn’t personally lost anyone to the attack, nor was she anywhere near New York when it happened. She never bothered to ask if any of us had actually lost someone in the attack, which kind of seems like a thing you should do before making us invent fictional victims to give eulogies for. The unit began with her demanding to know where we all were on the day of the attack and what we remembered, and she started crying when we told her that 1. we were two years old at the time and couldn’t remember shit fuck, the closest thing was one of the older kids kind of thought they remembered being very confused at adults freaking out over the TV but that could have been literally anything, and so this meant that 2. we were the last class she would ever teach that could possibly remember 9/11. Probably didn’t help that someone pointed out that we were the class born in 1999, so in two years she’d have students that hadn’t even been born during 9/11. That may have contributed to the teacher crying over the whole thing. We're Canadian.".

Here's what prompted this intrusive thought.
An image of a row of three toys in boxes. They look like Funko Pops, but the brand name just says Pop!. The boxes have a logo saying One Piece Labubu. In the three boxes, from left to right, are three One Piece characters in the traditional Funko Pop style. However, their faces have been changed to resemble Labubus. They are almost certainly counterfeit.

Waiting to see Adebisi Shank. First time seeing them, first gig in five years, first gig post-transplant.

I may be a little excited.
A photograph of a stage, mostly obscured in darkness. Just visible at the bottom of the photograph is a drum kit. The backdrop is an LCD screen saying, in white all caps text, "This is the backdrop of a band called Adebisi Shank".

Meanwhile, I saw this in Dundrum Town Centre over the weekend.
A sign in a shop window. The sign has two ghosts, a pumpkin, and two bats drawn on it. Below those, the sign reads "Un-boo-lievable deals in store now". In case the TTS or screen reader stumbled on that, it's a pun on "unbelievable" but with "boo", implying Halloween deals. The photo was taken in July.

I know a lot of people who go absolutely feral for these two, which have the same aesthetic.
An image of Geeta, the Chairman of the Elite Four from the video games Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. She has slightly tanned skin and long black hair spreading out from her head with purple highlights, wearing a black suit with a long thick yellow bolero and black shoes. The cuffs of her sleeves are purple, as is her collar and her gloves. An image of Rika, a member of the Elite Four in the video games Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. She's a fair-skinned woman with very long green hair tied into a ponytail that reaches to her knees. She's wearing a mustard yellow shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, along with a black tie, black trousers, and leather ankle boots.

I made a cold brew latte! I did not make the cold brew - that's M&S's Roast and Ritual light roasted Arabica. I frothed the milk, used (safe for me) ice, and put in an equal amount of cold brew then milk (120ml). It was nice. Needed a straw to drink, cause the ice got in the way.
A tall glass. It contains a cold brew latte. The bottom two thirds are a caramel colour, showing the milk mixing with the coffee (and some ice may also be partially visible, I'm not sure). The top third is a white head, like beer gets, of frothy milk.

I donated and in return got this great piece of my FFXIV character from @atomicmarshmallow.bsky.social. I strongly encourage you to donate. It's for a good cause!

As promised.
A screenshot of questions from Quora. All spelling and grammar choices are copied verbatim. The first question is "Atheists, imagine you and a Christian baby are being mugged. The criminal is mad at the Christian baby and decides to shoot it. Suddenly, it cuts to slow motion and you're able to jump in the way of the bullet. Would you save the Christian baby?" The second question is "Atheists, imagine you are a basketball player and you are just about to do a slam-dunk that will win you millions of dollars when you see a Christian baby on the ground under the hoop. Will you still do it if it could kill the baby from the force?" The third question is "Atheists, imagine you and a Christian baby are running away from a giant octopus. There is only one trap door in front of you where one of you can fit. Would you go in or let the Christian baby go?" The fourth question is "Atheists, imagine an atheist baby prodigy and a Christian baby prodigy meet and the Christian baby manages to convince the atheist baby god is real. They both then become great scientists. Would you become a Christian?" A screenshot of questions from Quora. All spelling and grammar choices are copied verbatim. The first question is "Atheists, if a Christian baby arrived on your doorstep with a note telling you God told them that you would raise it, would you even though the baby came from a Christian family?" The second question is "Atheists, it's game 7 of the World Series. It's the 9th inning. You're the last person to bat. Your team is down by 3 points. The bases are loaded. The pitcher throws a Christian baby at you. Would you hit the baby or lose?" The third question is "Why would any atheist think a Christian should take their word over Jesus Christ's word? It's not at all sensible to believe a flawed sinner's opinion about the nonexistence of God, the afterlife, souls, and all the like, instead of believing Jesus." The fourth question is "Atheists, I'd like you to close your eyes right now and visualise a Christian baby in your head. The baby is laughing, imagine it's chubby cheeks and big smile and little hands flailing around everywhere. Are you still an atheist now?" A screenshot of questions from Quora. All spelling and grammar choices are copied verbatim. The first question is "Atheists, imagine you're a famous baseball player and are about to bat the winning hit. Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby at you. Would you still hit the baby out of the stadium and win millions, or spare the Christian baby?" The second question is "Atheists, imagine you're going skydiving with a Christian baby. Suddenly the baby tells you he won't open his parachute until you renounce atheism and accept Jesus as your lord and savior. What would you do?"

Here's one that's new to me!
An image of a question from Quora. The question reads "Atheists, imagine you and a Christian baby are being mugged. The baby tells the criminal that he has no money, causing the criminal to shoot. It cuts to slow motion, and you're able to jump in the way of the bullet. Would you save the Christian baby?"

My first physical comic purchases in at least two years, and one of the few times I've bought comics since Comixology went down and my Android tablet stopped functioning. This is @kierongillen.bsky.social and @rossignol.bsky.social's fault, aided and abetted by @bigbangcomics.bsky.social
Two comic trade paperbacks sitting on a chair. The left-hand one is Ludocrats, and the right-hand one is The Power Fantasy volume 1.

Post the first video game you ever played

-----------------

GORILLA.BAS was the first game I remember playing, sitting in my dad's den in Gaborone on the old DOS machine he had in there. When we moved back to Ireland, I picked up Worms 2 on a whim, and found a very familiar idea.
An image of the old Basic game Gorillas, or GORILLA.BAS. The image shows a row of skyscrapers of varying heights, with a smiling high up in the upper middle of the screen. There are two large gorillas on top of the skyscrapers, one below the sun and the other near the rightmost edge of the screen. The gorilla in the middle has just thrown a banana.

Pretty sure you meant this matchup. Because the rightmost one in your post is an affront to the gods and a foul pretender to the glory of Mr. Tayto!

@graham.loadingreadyrun.com, did you ever apologise?
An image of a tunnel with made to protect people from construction going on above. Above the entrance to the tunnel is a sign saying "Graham apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works". While Graham is clearly the logo for the construction company, the fact that it is on a line on its own suggests that it is in fact directed at Graham. It is being creatively misinterpreted to mean Graham Stark of Loading Ready Run.
