When we were making the multiversal Star Trek Timelines we were always looking for excuses to add more Weyouns or Commander Shrans. Jeffery Combs is a legend.
Screenshot of a Facebook post from 2018 proclaiming that two more Weyoun clones were being added to the mobile video game Star Trek Timelines above two stylized images of the character Weyoun from Deep Space Nine, “Clone 5” and “Clone 6.”

My two new favorite baseball things: Peyton “The Iowa Meat Truck” Williams and Casey the Bat Dog.
A very large baseball player wearing an orange jersey with the number 44 stretches his huge arms to the sky as he steps to the plate. In the foreground a black dog runs towards the camera, carrying the bat of the previous batter in its mouth.

Yeah that sold me. Go Woo Sox!
A view from behind home plate of Payton Tolle pitching for the Worcester Red Sox at Polar Park. Unfortunately the pitch Payton is about to throw will be hit for a grand slam by a member of thr Buffalo Bisons.

It’s finally here, the Squaredle/Jackbox collaboration we all have been dreaming about!

Happy Sundae, PAX East!

@lsaintonge.bsky.social was right, Game of Show is Zinneken’s Waffle Truck!
A paper tray holding a waffle covered with bananas and whipped cream is in focus in the lower foreground. A blurry PAX East convention floor fills the background below.

Blue Prince is going to have to wait, this big catfish in South of Midnight that needs my help. Also this game looks amazing and I need to stare in wonder at every single thing in it.
In a glowing swamp, a giant thread-and-stitch-covered talking catfish dangles in the air, looking down at South of Midnight’s protagonist, a teenage girl named Hazel Flood.

I would play a hedgehog underpass building sim!

Found a photo with one of the ramps:
Dreamworks Animation campus in Glendale, California. A Spanish-style building with glowing yellow lights overlooks a pond. A bright yellow circle drawn by me indicates a wooden ramp on the edge of the pond, added to give the squirrels a chance at avoiding drowning.

Today’s game session was paused while our youngest composed a tale of this “King Astrobot on his throne.”
Astrobot (PS5) stands in front of a stone wall. The wall features hieroglyphics: Up top an Astrobot sitting on an open toilet, eyes closed with a curly wisp of air apparently leaving its head with a sigh. Below, three more Astrobots kneel one knee with arms outstretched, holding what appear to be gift bottles.

Here you go! Such a fun feature and now I feel compelled to get Clemens out of there.

I have been holding on to this Hi-larious @immaculategrid.com bit for so long. Today is the day!
Immaculate Grid, Baseball #702. Only two squares are filled. In the top left is a black and white photo of a baseball player looking to the left, named Hi Jasper. Two squares below them a black and white photo of a baseball player gazes to the right. Their name is Hi Myers. It’s like they’re sharing a little greeting!

“Dad you HAVE to get it.”

Yes, yes I do.
A light blue baseball hat for the Wisconsin Frozen Pizzas, an alternate unfiorm for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers minor league baseball team. The logo is an anthropomorphic pizza oven wearing a baseball hat, holding a pizza in one hand and a paddle in the other. Oven and pizza are both accented with bits of ice.

Proverbs (aka Massive Minesweeper) with the 16th century reference to my kids' favorite Bugs Bunny bit.
Screenshot from the video game Proverbs featuring a Minesweeper-esque grid of squares with numbers in them, plus some pixel art. A pop-up displays a small section of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1559 painting "Netherlandish Proverbs" alongside the text: "No one looks for others in the oven who has not been in there himself." With the modern translation: "To imagine wickedness to others is a sign of wickedness in oneself." Bugs Bunny points accusingly at an oven in a still frame from the 1954 Looney Tunes episode "Bugs and Thugs."

There are a lot more important things going on but I cannot believe the Hartford Yard Goats beat the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to an autumn leaf-themed alternate jersey.
A black baseball hat for the Hartford Leaf Peepers. A red maple leaf with a gaping mouth and AWOOGA eyes sticking out of its leaf face. A Hartford Leaf Peepers baseball jersey. The shirt is an overlapping collage of colorful fall leaves with no details within. Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. A Leaf Peepers logo and name in the middle. The leaf has a gaping mouth and AWOOGA eyes sticking out of its leaf face.

Hello from Fenway Fest! The fans are currently building a right-handed power hitting snowman.

You all were right, Astro Bot is amazing. Game of December 2024 for the Gallup household.

Game of the Year awards for us:
9yo: Okami
11yo: MLB The Show
Wife: Squardle
Me: Thank Goodness You’re Here!, The Jackbox Survey Scramble (tie)
Screenshot of Thank Goodness You’re Here! Cartoon art of a group of lumpy British people working together to pull on a person with their hand stuck in a sewer grate. The player, a little yellow man in a shirt and tie, looks at them, expressionless. Amaterasu from Okami howls in Astro Bot. Sparkling pink flower petals fill the sky.

When the kids have passed over their holiday illness but want my help finishing Astro Bot.

Family holiday tradition complete of watching Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas on DVD, including the 3 million outtakes of the drum rolling out of the music store and failing to fall over correctly.
Puppets Emmet and Ma Otter stand outside of a music store. Ma looks down at a drum leaning on it side. Emmet seems startled by the large human crew member reaching out of the door to grab the drum for another take. The crew member is so much larger than the set their head and arm barely fit through the door.

Happy Winter Pool Filling day to all who celebrate!
