Tried to go back to the Godseeker pantheons, but even after dedicating myself to 100%ing Silksong, I just do not have the patience to slog through them.

The sheer time sink it would take for me to make it through the final "every boss" pantheon would undoubtedly eclipse my total hours in the game.

Recently returned to the original Hollow Knight to tackle some alternate route achievements in my replay (banishing the Grimm Troupe, sparing the Nail Master, etc.) and clean up loose ends in my original file - like actually beating the Radiance.

Still haven't let Zote die- maybe next time, haha...

#DailyDoodle #Halloween

Whiteboard drawing of a cutesy, dot-eyed Bride of Frankenstein, who is also a star-nosed mole. She has a patchwork face with a seam down the middle and on her left-side cheek, splitting it into green, gray, and orange fur. Her arms are bandaged, and her wide, puffy afro of dark hair has white squiggly streaks on each side.

"repost if you love cookies or crave the comforting embrace of huge beefy pecs"

Close-up illustration of a very muscular male torso with his prominent flexing pectorals taking up the majority of the frame. He holds up a plate of steaming chocolate chip cookies in front of his abdominals.

"First Partner Pokémon" is still one of the clunkiest dang things they could've changed "Starter Pokémon" to officially.

I'll be calling 'em "starters" until I can't Pokémon no more.

Simpsons screencap edit.

Marge Simpson turns around to talk to Grandpa, who is hanging up an American flag while Homer stands at a podium. She asks "Why are you calling them 'Starter Pokémon'?"

Grandpa turns toward her and says: "I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I call 'em 'First Partner Pokémon.'"

PvZ3 is such a fascinating mess. It’s relaunched with total visual overhauls, like, what, 3 times now across 6 years? And *none* of those have reached my region.

Instead PvZ2, which stopped getting new story levels a decade ago is *still* regularly getting new (micro-transaction focused) plants.

Thinkin' 'bout Lucas Lee in the anime wearing that tight Scott shirt and them form-fitting jeans...
#Muscles

Lucas Lee as he appears in the anime, looking like a snack in a yellow t-shirt with a red star that tightly hugs his muscly upper bod.

Lucas flying through the air on a skateboard, his jeans tightly hugging his tuckus.

Lucas dodging a robotic shark, paused on a frame where his big dumpy is super prominent.

Lucas falling through the air with his limbs outstretched, his huge pecs casting a visible shadow underneath.

Stickermoon: Spooper Mario RPG (2021)

#CarlArt

Halloween versions of Geno and Mallow from Super Mario RPG. Geno is dressed like a fanged vampire; his outfit is now purple with a pumpkin pattern on the hat and his hair curls dyed green. He is holding a candy pail shaped like a Shy Guy ghost. Mallow is dressed like a Frankenstein Monster, with patches 'sewn' in his body and bolts in his neck. His pants look like a pumpkin with a bat-shaped belt buckle.

It'd be more exciting to get dupes of cards this supposedly rare if we were allowed to trade or gift them to friends - but, alas.

Carl, But Sofa King Corny 🎃 @carldoonan.bsky.social · 1d

Getting a set’s big showcase card and watching the animation the 1st time: “Wow!! Spectacular! I love Pokémon!”

Getting it the 2nd time: “Heh, wow, what are the odds? Neat. Wish I’d gotten a new card though.”

Getting it the 3rd time: *Silently mashes the skip scene button with an empty expression*

Screenshot from Pokémon TCG Pocket showing that I have gotten the immersive 3-Star Pikachu card from the Deluxe Pack EX set three times.

Aye, that's the general vibe.

I have the original Switch version from backing the Kickstarter way back when and I was just... not at all feeling it. Set it down a little into the second world with the intent to come back, but every time I look at the icon I let out a sad sigh.
