Calling in to work over encumbered

Kenny Crow, oglop, pupu plushes sat next to a cactuar and a tonberry plush. Bonus Pat lore - that tonberry was the first thing I bought off ebay when I opened an account long before I should’ve had one and started buying stuff online with my cash card.

(No one wants except for sickos like me)

Kenny Crow, a man sized crow in a green romper and baseball cap, from Final Fantasy XV in plush form.

Pupu, a blue alien, from Final Fantasy VIII in plush form.

Oglop, a bug with a skull for a face, from Final Fantasy IX in plush form.

You just can't beat when Sqaure Enix makes a plush of a one time mascot or similar from Final Fantasy games that really no one wants.

Gonna be needing that Ozma plush. bsky.app/profile/toky...

Has anyone at all written about Xbox Live Indie Games as part of all the Xbox 360 retrospectives doing the rounds?

Feels like a big oversight, lot of devs and companies out there that got their start on that service and it's mostly been memory-holed.

The tension in the air on every bus trip as every old person on the bus wants desperately to come over and talk to us about the baby and other babies they have once seen or met.

Should’ve called it NuLabour if you ask me.

For a second I thought Roo had left you a present in the lantern.

Reading the last couple of Carnacki stories I've not read before and I do love that at the end of every story, it's either some unknowable horror from beyond the realm of our senses or some arseholes smuggling or something.

San Andreas Deer Cam: offline footage This is "San Andreas Deer Cam: offline footage" by Brent Watanabe on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Hard to believe it's been almost a decade since San Andreas Deer Cam.

What a project, one of the best to ever do it.

Got offered to be taken upstairs at the charity shop to see their big stack of Michael Moorcock books waiting to be put out.

My life has ended up exactly where I want it to be.

I know a lot about Lingo as I watched it basically every day during my paternity leave. My partner has applied to be on it.

There was a version of it on ITV in the 80’s, came over from America and stuck around for ages in the Netherlands I think. Then it came back to the UK at the start of 2021 and Wordle broke through towards ends of 2021.

Gotta respect the hustle.

I’m afraid Lingo actually predates Wordle by decades.

My lovely baby surrounded by 14 JRPGs, her face is covered by a moogle.

For fans of this ongoing nonsense, here’s Final Fantasy XIV week.

I don’t own FFXIV so instead picked 14 other JRPGs by Squaresoft/Square Enix

I've got a copy of Post Future Vagabond for sure, might have The Sense Of Connectedness somewhere but it'll take a bit of digging to find most likely.

Cinema has lost the art of putting interesting unvarnished people in movies

When I say 'They don't make 'em like that anymore' I really am talking about Udo Kier
