I really love the enamel pin and was about to buy one instantly, but the postage to Australia is INSANE!

The cheapest postage for one tiny pin is $22AUD.

It cannot seriously cost that much to post one tiny little pin.
A screenshot of a list of postage prices to send one tiny Little Kitty, Big City enamel pin to a city in Australia. From cheapest at the top and working down, the prices are: $22AUD for PirateShip (Asendia Simple Export Rate) $37AUD UPSP First Class Package International $81AUD USP Worldwide Expedited $85AUD DHL Express Worldwide $103AUD USPS Priority Mail International A screenshot of the Little Kitty, Big City store checkout, showing the cost of one Kitty Enamel Pin ($24AUD minus a $4.80 discount) plus the cheapest postage to Australia ($22AUD) bringing the total to $41.20AUD.

I like using magnet paper to turn stickers, labels, or parts of packets into magnets for my metal tool box at work. Being magnets rather than stickers means I can rearrange them as I like.
A a red metal toolbox decorated with magnets sitting on a wooden shelf. There is a Banjo-Kazooie box art magnet, a Splatoon 3 box art magnet, three small cat magnets, a small rainbow star magnet, a Pokémon magnet, a magnet of Banjo and Kazooie being chased by Snacker the shark, a magnet of a sunrise over mountains in the nonbinary flag colours, a magnet of Frenchie’s cat flag from Our Flag Means Death, and a Gabrielle and Xena Warrior Princess magnet.

I liked how pumpkin Banjo could flush down Loggo the toilet, and then Gruntilda’s disgusted rhyme when they come back up the pipe.

My almost 6 year old nephew was so excited to see his drawing on the top door of the fridge in your game today! He can’t wait to play the game.

My Toree plushie made it to me in Australia today!

Why settle for just your own artwork when you can take over others’ artwork too?

If you spot our favourite buddy-duo, why not snap a shot and tag us on socials, since we can’t be fucked to do it ourselves and instead used generative AI to make this image?
A post by the Playtonic Games Bluesky account with the following text: “Why settle for just your own platforms when you can take over others too? From October 20th until November 2nd, Yooka and Laylee are taking over the London Underground! If you spot our favourite buddy-duo, why not snap a shot and tag us on socials? We’d love to see! *purple heart emoji**green heart emoji*.” Under the text is an AI generated image of a train stopped at an underground train station, with various characters from the Yooka-Laylee games in/around the train and platform.

I get this noisy little shit right outside my bedroom window from about late Autumn and through most of Winter every year. It is super loud. Some sort of wattle bird I think it is.

I updated my Switch version of the game this weekend, and although when my save file loaded the “Capped Crusader” text box popped up on the bottom of the screen as if I’d just achieved it, when I go to the Cat-chievements list, it still isn’t ticked off (but at least now it says I’ve found 42/42).

Just because the games are 24 years apart and the pitch of the sound effect was changed a bit, doesn’t mean I don’t recognise you’ve reused that sound effect, Nintendo!

A green Yoshi is looking at a ghost that looks like a long, translucent, wavy sausage, which is bridging two points in the wall to look like a ladder.

Blocking the walkway in front of Kirby is a wooden cutout popping out of the wall. It is a red monster with three yellow eyes on the end of eyestalks, a wide gaping mouth with teeth, and arms spread wide to block the path.

<Agrees in Australian*>

*$74.95 AUD converts to about $49.53 USD, but this price tag was from back in 1998 so doesn’t take into account inflation.

Finally was able to capture a photo of a Rainbow Lorikeet visiting the birdbath in my front yard. They are so skittish that they usually fly away before I can get to the camera!

No you’re definitely not dumb, and your eyes aren’t playing tricks!
I also didn’t realise it looked different in other parts of the world until I went to hang my moon lamp one day and thought “Why does it look wrong?” & Googled it.

Here’s a diagram of how it works, if you’re interested.

Nice screenshots!

I know it also has living vegetables so I can’t complain about “realism” too much, but as someone from Australia, I’m a little upset that if it’s supposed to be an Australian town, that the moon is upside down (shown as a Northern Hemisphere moon instead of Southern Hemisphere).

Love the attention to detail - the back corner of the couch all ripped open from cat scratching (despite the cat having access to actual scratching posts - so relatable!), and all the cat toys batted under the couch.
