Here I was thinking I was always more of a barbarian (tho we all know i look more like a bard, perhaps even a jester), but no, life once again proves I’m a druid with affinity for birds. I shit you not, this is like the 6th time already…

Friendship stress test, but I endured and came out stronger. Just had to order a Happy Meal breakfast to get this toy for a friend and had to eat a crappy McToast and orange juice that tasted like water. Not gonna say who it was, but I am pointing my finger towards @pointerfunction.bsky.social

funfact; this is still currently our lockscreen it seems ❤️
and finally, we changed the lock screens of our workstations to the following image - which was also rendered on a real PS1 (screenshot from emulator though for simplicity), with a hacked BIOS to display the Guerrilla logo in PS1 colours.

If you're pre-ordering Bitmap Books' SNES RPG Book, don't. The author of it is a terrible person and shouldn't be supported, as you can see here. Thanks @st1ka.bsky.social for bringing this to light. He's been terrible for years.
