Katch, Purveyor of Mashed Potatoes 🦃

My guess was going to be something to do with education based on them holding books. I did just do some digging though, and found out these sculptures have their own Wikipedia page!

Have a safe drive!

That's kinda sweet ☺️

I love how you accentuated the alien & bug-ness of this form to make it extra eerie! Leaning harder into those qualities has such a noticeable impact.

i tried to write as honestly as i could about the whole experience because it made me rethink how to listen to survivors. i hope more people play this game.

In Japanese news lately, there have been a lot of bear attacks, so that actually felt pretty accurate 😅

Found the prompt @zombiemiki.bsky.social! 新たな都市伝説·札幌

I believe the deer are alien invaders based on the note by the painting 🤣 But it'd be funny if they were the ones fighting the aliens off instead.

My photos don't do the deer one justice. The deer staring out from amid the flames are genuinely scary.

Iunno, I still get a little sad when I see more new Kenshin stuff coming out. I miss it! But it'd be hard to enjoy.

I'm not sure what the prompt was, but I imagine they're horrifying because they're painted by high school students. A few were more fantastic & less horror film.

Took pictures of a few more, including aforementioned alien deer.

Did I miss a post with more details? My DMs are open, I think. What level are we starting at? Any rules/restrictions on using certain supplements or any house rules for character creation?

Such a great pose! You have me thinking a lot about seeing Street Fighter characters doing traditional forms/kata. Training & hanging out themed pictures are so heartwarming.

Ah, okay! I have all the core books and some of the supplementary ones. I can roll something, or if you think there's a role that would wedge in well and be good for the game, I am more than happy to assume said role, good sire!

re: tutorials and early game friction, here's a blog post I wrote in 2021 on why I like the social practice of game wiki'ing, and the "ludic mystery" that motivates it mixedinitiatives.net/blog/apologi...

After 18 years, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a surprisingly magical return to Nintendo’s legendary series, and I’m all in on psychic abilities and the power of friendship Hands-on | My 80 minutes blasting away on the Nintendo Switch 2 left me feeling one thing: good for her

the new metroid prime is like alice in wonderland, i think 🐰 i spent my time with it in a fantasy forest, but not alone…

That sounds really taxing and upsetting. I hope you can turn a corner.

the high school kids in this art club are going places! this mural of a giant electric bear attacking Sapporo is in Sapporo Station on display

mural of a giant electric bear attacking Sapporo, which feels on the nose right now

An art high school has an exhibit up in Sapporo Station, and the work is fantastic. These are all pretty big, & the subject matter is hilarious 😆 This giant electric bear attacking Sapporo as animals & people flee in terror was my favorite, though a runner-up was deer aliens invading & taking over.

Along with other late 90s PC FPS classics but yeah. UT99 in a browser window... just fantastic. Thanks to the r/LGR subreddit for letting me know about it!

It'll be down to ludopiff (short for ludo+epiphany) within 3 months.

Or maybe even "I didn't get any on ya, did I?" I love that we have guy peeing in bushes jokes going this far back. If someone happened upon me peeing in the bushes, I'd probably jump out of my skin, too.

I don't mind using something pre-made. What system are we using?

Oh! I basically live in the shadow of the Sky Tree. If you yell "Katch" really loud, there is a distinct chance I will emerge from around a corner.

Haven't opened them yet, but I have faith!

Thank you ^_^ I went for function over design, but part of me really wanted to draw a bear with powdered chocolate and cashews...

The flight is short, though! And it was really easy going through Haneda. I'll post a few more things from Hokkaido over the next few days to give you encouragement. You can always wait a few years, too. It took me 16 years to finally get here X'D

Yeah, there are a few good varieties out there, but I'm expecting the ones from the source to be an extra step-up! At least, I hope they are... Also got coffee-powdered chocolate-covered marshmallows ^_^

the outside of the Royce Cacao & Chocolate Town factory and museum; it has its own train station!

an image showing the basic breakdown of what goes into types of chocolate bars; there was a lot on harvesting & processing that was more detailed & interesting, too

the back of my chocolate bar; it has a pretty molded image on the front but this way you can see all the yummy things I put in it: various sweetened chocolate & fruit powders, dried fruits, nuts, crunchy potato chip bits...

Went to Royce Cacao & Chocolate Town in Hokkaido today. It was interesting learning about the harvesting & processing, along with the company's history. And we did a thing where we got to make our own chocolate bar. A good trip with a date or friends! Great for omiyage.

This was a very good competition feature, and I see why Japanese audiences picked it out as their favorite considering how it relates to a changing Japan in the face of diversification and challenges to long-standing 'black rules'

Out soon in Japanese theaters, here's my review
