A completely different playlist from another shift working from home. Perhaps someday I'll compile ten hours worth of video game background music I'm nostalgic for and use it on more shifts.

Thanks for hosting the Raft games!

Look at you inspecting that sushi!

They can be pretty great! The ones without lyrics are less distracting and won't get in the way with dictation. It's enjoyable nostalgia. Some games with a few good tracks aren't very compatible though because of different musical moods or situational scores (like for game-over screens).

Fursuit Friday!

After stepping out of the dead dog dance at Furry Migration I was still wagging my skunk tail!

A cute skunk named Pelican booped Sadie's snoot and it was nothing but curl wags from then on ~

Skunk isn't limited to track suits (although they suit him so well); sometimes he cleans up nicely to fit the gala theme. Met a leatherworking horse, a fellow skunk who is a cartoonist, and of course some high-socks types. Oo-de-lally!

I'm back from my first ever Furry Migration and had a lot of fun at a bird room party, running into cute furs and birds in the lobby and dealer's den, shaking my skunk tail on the dance floor, and saw success co-hosting my first meet & greet! Our Sunday morning Iowa meet saw at least 45 attendees.

Today I unlocked myself as a playable character in Star Racer! Beyond being a vehicle to demonstrate peak pelican performance, the game is a lot of fun!

I've been playing Star Racer and working on unlocking myself as a playable character. It looks like I'm close to seeing the challenge race.

The full release of Star Racer, the retro-inspired, sci-fi, fast-paced racer, is here, and in this game you can play as me! That's right - I'm an unlockable character with my own ship. In the 1.0 trailer you can even catch a few glimpses of Pelican; see if you recognize me!

Here is most of my haul from AnthroCon 2025 dealers room and sticker exchanges. The major items are paws for my skunk from Spilt Grape Soda, a Camp Howl corvid hoodie, a button-down with bird print from ArtSea Animal, a rocket pop fan from Limey the Cheetah, and dice from Alien Gryphon Studios.

We're wrapping up Saturday at AnthroCon 2025. Later I might have some pictures from today to share, but for now here's more antics from Friday as a skunk in an Adidas track suit!

I'm at AnthroCon 2025!

The second picture is of Freedom the mechanic coyote. The third has Freedom, Barbeque the skunk, and @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social with his wolf partial. The fourth has Barbeque and Simon Skunk on either side of me in my recently acquired skunk partial!

Yesterday I hosted a house party with local furs Jakey, Ammo, Caust, Cube, Kai, Hayden, Wildfire, Dean, and Raver. We had fun with some fursuiting, going for all-you-can-eat sushi, watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and we had this custom cake.

I have a sixth part to my Telegram sticker pack live now divided into two image galleries due to size! They're all by @codyf0xx.bsky.social. There are more general expressions to fill in gaps in the pack, like sadness and anger, more interactions with YCH bird, and memes, including novel ones!

Many thanks to @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social for making this shadow box with bead sprite art from Snapshot Raccoon as a hatchday present and then helping to mount it and some memorable framed furry gaming stuff!
