EB Games returns to Canada, free from the chains of GameStop.
That said, it's still like, 75% run as if it was GameStop, now with 100% more McFarlane toys.

I am in love with this costume. @dougmcottrell.bsky.social outdid himself on the jacket and sash, both made 100% from scratch.
I think what I like most about it is it could be a costume for many other imaginary worlds; I look like an engineer or a vehicle conductor. Give me a pistol or a sword!

First day in the office at the new job.
The cafeteria has a special on spiced waffle fries with chipotle aioli dip.
You want me to work in the office 1-2 days a week? This is how you do it. 10/10. Best job ever.

I got in the beta for Dragon Quest Smash/Grow (mobile).
As a big fan of all things Dragon Quest (more than Final Fantasy, if I'm being honest), I'm really excited to see what this game will be like when I can play it in a few days.

Other random stuff at the convention:
- The Doctor Who Daleks talk and they're loud and obnoxious, just like on the show!
- A criminally small number of KPop Demon Hunter and Clair Obscur cosplays and merch.
- Kudos to the 75yr old woman in the Alastor (Hazbin Hotel) cosplay.

A quick pre-opening display of The Neverending Story booth. They were selling photo ops for each of the "attractions", which included the Rockbiter, a "Saving Artax" exhibit, and Flying with Falcor. Each was individually priced or a generous discount applied if you wanted pics of everything.

Some Power Ranger stuff is here because David Fielding is present. I mean, even without Zordon, the Power Rangers stuff would still have booth space and cosplayers. Its impressive how popular that franchise is still.

A little video of some of the free play arcade machines near the front entrance of the con. Most of them are configured with multiple rom files so its not just the game on the marquee or cabinet display.
The controls are VERY loose on all of them. Its not me who sucks at playing them. Nope.

London ComicCon photostream + commentary:
- Great to see the convention posting signs about the selling of AI produced art. I hope I get to see a flipping of said tables (nothing so far).
- Some Star Trek booth photos. The local club seems to be heavily fixated on OGST and TNG eras, sadly.

God, remember when Nintendo thought selling people an app and a bunch of cardboard and rubber bands was a good idea?

Had to do some clothes shopping for my interview and general "in-office" wear since I'd been working from home for 4+ years.
Hopefully these also give me good vibes and make me feel confident for the whole thing.

Had a pretty good Pride weekend with @dougmcottrell.bsky.social. We trooped in costume with the local 501st garrison. Wandered around the booths in the park a few times.
Next year, I WILL get my deep fried Mars bar from one of those food trucks.

Went shopping for some shirts that aren't black graphic tees.
Got me a sweet tank top/button down shirt combo that I think I look very good in.
(Not pictured: The white hairs starting to show up on the side of my head since I turned 44...)

I like to find fun art in stores sometimes.
How could I resist two of ny favourite things? Black cats!
Frida Kahlo is pretty cool too, I suppose. Let the record show she is the supporting role in this piece. The cats are the stars!
