@kanaratron.bsky.social The odds that this is a reference to Kled from League of Legends seems remote, right?

It's clear that despite Fortnite, the cultural memory of Simpsons apocrypha has dulled, given you can freely market dairy substitutes as "MALK" without a significant percentage of customers being forced to think about rat milk...

Fancy cathedrals and cartoons make you think of the free-standing sculpture types acting as toppers, (which are great) but the full range of FUNCTIONAL gargoyles...
Gable/ledge supports, banisters, under-eves; there's NO reason gutters and drain pipes shouldn't look like menacing little guys!

Broken mirrors are a relatively common find.
They're euclidean and perfectly safe, so long as the weather is clear and you aren't carrying any Labubus on your person...

Few urban artifacts last a single night undisturbed, let alone the THREE this television has survived!
Highly suspicious.
The concave dent might simply make it undesirable, but I could've sworn I saw another figure reflected in that warped darkness...

@ass.golf Big dumb re-read, (no idea why) and ran into the following panel with a certain amount of story foresight... (I'm nowhere close to caught up on QC)
Immediately wondered if this coincided with the moment you planned that direction, or if later on you just leaned way into the callback?

I googled "megaphone software" for context to make sure it's the kind of app/service that the context clues were pointing toward, and immediately chortled at their websites lacking whatever standard metadata goes into search results...

Additional floors exist!
-Hold down the Door Close button then press Hold Door
-Keep holding Door Close and rapidly tap B for the sub-Basement levels
-Release Door Close only when the elevator begins moving (the display should now be flickering)

Each time the Twilight Cabinet manifests in the city, it chooses a new location.
Even though all interactions/tests have been benign thus far, this is the first time an object was ALREADY inside, so I left the suitcase well enough alone.

Love this adorably queer rendition of "Super Mario" in a 1984 Game Freak zine, from long before the broader internet "Rule 63 style" fetishization, labelling, and categorization of such artistic pursuits.

Reasonably certain that if it wasn't for that bold, incongruous album-cover-like choice of box art back in the day, I'd never have heard of Forsaken.
Heh, I certainly didn't expect it to be a Descent-style six axis shooter! Could never wrap my head around the controls back in the day, though.

I'm not really one for #VirtualPhotography and rarely touch the various detailed photo modes that AAA games revel in, but the sheer surrealism of #BabySteps is pretty inspiring...

If or when Riot gets around to putting Evelynn into 2XKO, I'm guessing no amount of Voldo appreciation is gonna grant her a skin that references her champion design...
They'd have to ship Akali and Kai'sa first, cause K/DA Eve is the only launch skin anyone from outside would recognize.
