Hello World!

Hi, I'm Amy! I mostly talk about video games and animals. I'm a bit of an anxious gremlin, so I tend to be quiet online, but feel free to say hi!

91) Brickbot. Finds the exact brick you need when playing with modular Danish construction toys. #SmallRobotsRemastered
robot shaped like a cube with four short, cylindrical studs on its top. It has slender, banded arms and legs and is knelt down on one knee in order to sift through a large pile of bricks of similar design, in various shapes. It's sticking its tongue out in concentration and raising one eyebrow quizzically. The Small Robots Remastered logo in the top right corner has lines on its letters, making them look like irregular brickwork. Lego. They're all made of Lego.

1322) Presentbots. Oh look, Santabot has brought some lovely presents to go under the Christmastreebot! There's some round ones, some square ones, some pyra...oh...oh no...
Six Christmas presents, wrapped in green paper with red ribbon or vice versa. Two are cubic, two are spherical and two are pyramidal, but all have lumps and bumps here and there. They're all shaking, and one has a label attached that reads "To: The Mayor".

Cunk spittin Christmas cheer
Philomena Cunk standing beside a Santa statue saying the good children will get lots of presents and so, it turns out, will the bad ones. In fact, the only ones who won't get very much are the poor children that's because Santa judges a child's goodness based largely on parental income.

Twelve Drumbots Drumming...

#12BotsofChristmasRemastered
Twelve Drumbots – robots in the form of little drums with banded arms and legs – half of them coloured red and half of them coloured green, marching forward. Most are joyfully playing themselves, but one is twirling its stick and looking smug about it, one has dropped its sticks and looks distraught as it reaches for them, one is playing another of the Drumbots (which doesn’t look happy about it), one has thrown a stick in the air and it's fallen down and hit it in the eye, and one is holding its sticks up and yelling triumphantly.

1333) Tatbot. Need a last minute Christmas gift? Just some random crap that you can wrap up and they can go "ooh, lovely" and never look at again? Tatbot has you covered: it's filled with boxes and boxes of Christmas tat that no one really wants.
A round-topped robot with banded arms and legs and an antenna that has a door in its tummy and a hollow interior. It's opening the door with one hand and holding out a pink box filled with bottles and jars labeled "Smellies..." with the other. Inside it are three more boxes, labeled "Liquor Gift Set", "Themed Crap" and "Bath Shit".

Eleven Pipebots Piping...

#12BotsofChristmasRemastered
Eleven cylindrical robots joined together to form a very long set of panpipes. The robots' bodies decrease in height from left to right so that their banded legs have to get increasingly long to keep them level. The robots are making various facial expressions (and one is asleep, obviously), and musical notes surround them.

Ten Lordbots Leaping...

#12BotsofChristmasRemastered
Ten Mayorbots - ovoid robots with banded arms and legs, wearing black top hats and sashes reading ‘MAYOR’ - in and beside a duck pond set in grassy parkland, being comprehensively savaged by many, many Mischiefbots – tiny robots that are shaped like spheres, cubes, or pyramids. They're variously jumping out of the way or being forced into the water, with hats and sashes in disarray. Two ducks look on, bemused.

1544) Lastdaybot. It's the last day of term, so this robot has been allowed to wear its own clothes and bring in a board game!
A happy little ovoid robot with banded arms and legs and an antenna. It's wearing a red woolly jumper and its antenna bobble is bright red with two green holly leaves attached to it. It's holding a teal box labelled "Snakebots and Reachbots".

Nine Ladybots Dancing...

#12BotsofChristmasRemastered
A darkened disco, with an illuminated dancefloor of checkerboard red and green panels. Nine robots are dancing, and all of them are Followerbots – robots based on real followers of mine (from Twitter, for the most part) who won competitions and also are women. From left to right we have Hattiebot (an ovoid robot with a little ringed planet on her antenna); Muckypupbot (looks like a little dog splattered with mud which is leaving muddy footprints on the dancefloor); Bethbot (has a propellor flying in the air, with a mop of red hair and glasses); Internetmombot (FKA Internetdadbot, ovoid with long, brown hair); Rossybot (is wearing a sort of woolly parka hood); Hottoastbot (shaped like a desk lamp for reasons that escape me); Amandabot (has frizzy reddish hair and glasses); Doctorbethbot (ovoid with dark hair, a pith helmet, and a red bowtie); and Tutbot (spherical, holding a glass of gin and wearing a purple fedora, staring sternly over her glasses). Discobot (a disco ball with sparkly platform shoes) hangs from the ceiling above, and at the back Littlegreyboatbot (one of the Ladybots in the previous version, but now not) has crashed through the wall and Emmabot (spherical, freckles, a brown ponytail) is smiling up at it, while Snathebot (a Custombot based on the real LGB’s spouse) peers over the gunwales. Basically, there’s a lot going on.

Eight Maidbots Milking...

#12BotsofChristmasRemastered
A Cowbot - a large, spherical robot with piebald patches, like the classic Holstein Friesian breed, with little horns, a golden bell hanging from where its neck would be if it wasn't just a big sphere, a pink snout, and a giant spring on a single foot instead of legs - with a tap on its side dispensing milk. Eight Maidbots - ovoid robots with banded arms and legs and blonde hair in braided pigtails - are lined up beside it with Pailbots - little metal buckets with legs and eyes, basically. The first Maidbot is walking away, smiling contentedly with a filled Pailbot (also looking content) in one arm. The second is leaning against the Cowbot, whistling with one hand in its pocket as its Pailbot on the ground is filled by a stream of milk from the tap. The Maidbot behind it looks annoyed, and its Pailbot is asleep. The next Maidbot is smiling with an indifferent Pailbot. Then the next Pailbot looks angry and is on the ground, kicking its feet, while the Maidbot seems annoyed and trying to control it. Then the next Maidbot is asleep (Pailbot not visible), the next is smiling with its Pailbot facing away from the frame, and the last one in the queue is angrily waving its arms around, while its Pailbot peeks out from behind its legs, staring daggers at the Maidbot at the front. Text in the top right reads, "12 'BOTS OF CHRISTMAS REMASTERED" in alternating red and green letters.

Seven Swanbots Swimming...

#12BotsofChristmasRemastered
A swimming pool divided into seven lanes by red and green dividers. Swanbots - white robots shaped like swans with hinged wings and banded necks - are thrashing along each lane, each inexplicably wearing a swimming cap and goggles. Text in the top right corner reads, "12 'BOTS OF CHRISTMAS REMASTERED".

1321) Christmastreebot. Festive flora friend. Helps decorate itself if you can't reach the top.
A robot in the form of a Christmas tree composed of four conical sections with slightly upturned lower rims. Its happy face is on its uppermost section, which is also crowned with a gold star, and it has two banded arms on the next section. It's mounted in an orange pot and its trunk has the same appearance as a banded small robot limb. Various Baublebots in red and gold hang from beneath each of the robot's sections, and the robot is positioning another. Two children stand on either side of the robot, also hanging Baublebots.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.
