Damn, I love this game. I'm still finishing up some non-achievement completion, and just having fun continuing to play.

Thank you for reminding me of the Dodrio costume that my mom made for my youngest brother in 1999.
A seven-year-old boy wearing a homemade Dodrio (the pokemon) costume. It's basically a cardboard box around his torso with two round bird heads on paper towel rolls, and a borderline-serial-killer bird mask on the boy's face. Over the box is an extremely large, brown t-shirt, which doesn't conceal the box's hard angles. He's also wearing shorts, which are comfy and easy to wear.

Animated GIF from The Simpsons S04E22, "Krusty Gets Kancelled". Krusty, down on his luck, is at the race track and desperately encouraging the horse he bet on to win. He shouts "No, don't look at me. Run!" Followed by "No, don't come over here." He slumps down in frustration as the horse approaches him and licks his face.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

My wife's grandmother (who lives with us) is TERRIFIED at the idea of putting this planter in front of the house, because she is convinced someone will steal it

My Reign of Winter Adventure Path conversion to Pathfinder 2nd edition earned a Copper best seller badge! Not bad for a "pay what you want" item.

We usually get a pair of ravens or a pair of crows, so it's interesting to see one of each together again.

First time I've seen a raven and a crow on the wall at the same time. Gives off "you vs. the guy she told you not to worry about" energy.
