Just remembered playing this PC game where Ice T played a psychic who if he used his powers too much would literally lose his sanity
The cover art for the video game Sanity: Aiken's Artifact. It features a man in a dark, armored suit with glowing orange goggles, wielding fiery energy in his fists against a red background.

Anyone know how/can add a book to Goodreads? There's a Manchán Magan good Ireland in Iceland that isn't on there
Close-up of the book "Ireland in Iceland: Gaelic Remnants in a Nordic Land" by Manchán Magan. The cover features an illustration of three men with beards and hats rowing an old-fashioned boat through blue, swirling water. The title is in white and orange text. The author's name, "MANCHÁN MAGAN," is at the top right, and "Illustrated by Aodh Ó Riagáin/Oreganillo" is near the bottom.

Anyway here's Buck Meek in a massive hat
A close-up, low-angle portrait of musician Buck Meek sitting indoors. He is wearing a wide-brimmed, light-colored cowboy hat, an unbuttoned white western shirt with dark yoke embroidery over a white undershirt, and dark pants. His hands are clasped in his lap. He is looking directly at the camera with a slight smile. The background features wood paneling and a wooden staircase leading up and to the left, with a collection of bottles visible on a table or bar area to his left. The lighting is warm and golden.

While in Spain I only drink the finest Spanish beers
I'm sitting at an outdoor cafe, holding a bottle of O'Hara's Irish Stout and an empty glass. There are other people and cafe umbrellas in the background.

I love that the mascot of Victoria beer is a sweaty bald dude. I've never felt more spoken to while on this holiday
Can of Victoria beer from Malaga. The mascot is a sweaty bald man in a suit holding up a handkerchief patting his head. He's holding a straw hat and wearing a blue tie.
