The hell does this mean. Also, I only sold you a mandible, you can't bite anything with only bottom teeth (ignoring the full set already in his face).
Screenshot from Trash Goblin: A large blue orc man with one arm holding a metal club over his shoulder and studded leather armor is grinning menacingly and says, "Let the educational biting begin."

No. NO NO NO. OUT DEMON.
Screenshot from Trash Goblin: A ceramic doll with a cracked face and a yellow dress is standing on the counter, saying, "Good day, little shopkeeper." The player can only say, "Good day, ma'am."

...Ah. Carry on, then.

Hell yeah, Auntie.
Screenshot from Trash Goblin: An elderly and very purple goblin woman is at the service counter. She says, "Now, I must run. Shouting truth to power doesn't happen without someone to do the shouting." The player has the choice to respond, "Have fun!" or "Try not to get arrested."

Mr. Mushroom, I can't describe how bad an idea I think it is to have me, a humble little gobbo who's had this job upcycling trash for a week and a half, to handle a *lich crown*, and somehow be able to know how to counter its magic, to give to you.
Screenshot from Trash Goblin: A kindly little mushroom man dressed as a scholar with lots of books and scrolls tied to his crown is standing on a counter. He says, "I would ask that you affix a Natural Charm to the crown to counter the worst of the, the... bad pizzazz." The player (a goblin working the counter) has the option to say either, "Dark magic?" or "Evil power?"

That procedure that I was supposed to have way back in ...July? Is finally happening on Tuesday, because the various offices finally submitted enough evidence my insurance caved.

These numbers aren't real. Don't worry, I don't need help with it.
An invoice that says: Total/Hospital Fees: $4387; Insurance covers: -$4139; You pay: $248.

LFG I GOT IT WORKING! #threadsoffate #dewprism #retrogaming #blackskygamers

(This is my 25 year old physical copy. No I don't know where my PS2 is. I don't have VGA connections to my monitors anyway.)

Where's my remake, @square-enix-games.com?

I love how in #ESO, I'll just be doing transactions at the bank, and behind me everything's happening from the Dark Brotherhood slitting someone's throat (very noisily y'all are kinda bad at this), to people's still slightly feral animals and summons just wandering and biting ankles. #blackskygamers
Screenshot from Elder Scrolls Online: Several players are standing at a bank teller's counter, while everything from polar bears, to robot dragonflies, to demons are milling around the room.

Okay, never mind, diversity win, shit's weird on both of them.
Screenshot from Blue Protocol: The player is wearing a blue, strange wetsuit that is only comprised of one sleeve, a collar, a shoulder pad on the other arm, blue trunks, and a nervous plush shark in an inner tube attached to the belt.

Why is this cut so weird? XP #blueprotocol #blackskygamers 🎮

(Playing a man because again, oh look the women's clothing has illogical undertiddy, weird cutouts in her space suit, and in general looks awful.)
Screenshot from Blue Protocol: The player is a dark-skinned man with black hair turning grey at the ends. He's wearing a 'detective's outfit, which is a white button-down, black vest, and beige jacket that is cut much wider than it should be.

Me: Please no.

Brain: lol

...Hey... Yoni...? Who did you get those antlers off of? Why do you have giant deer antlers on display? There aren't any other deer demons here... Please buy some actual art for these walls. #talesofseikyu #blackskygamers

I'm not entirely sure I should actually fulfill this request. Keahi's like... 8. And bombs have a surprisingly large radius.

#StardewValley #blackskygamers #Iwontsnitchtho
Screenshot from Stardew Valley: A wooden help wanted sign with a tattered piece of paper tacked to it says, "Help Wanted: So... my dad won't buy me a bomb. So I posted this instead! If anyone has one, bring one to me and I'll pay you with my savings! Quick! Before they remove this again! -Keahi -1000g on Delivery -Keahi will be thankful -Citizens will be concerned"
