I know everyone is dunking on this, but I swear this just makes me think of this Noisepuppet gag (from youtu.be/FpRiNXfrDNo)

Somebody in a Discord server I'm in was sharing similar YouTube ads they were getting I assume Visual Excellence is a publication run by Chef Excellence ("An Excellent Graphics")

Three completely nonsensical and unearned awards in the corner (technically both lower corners) of an ad for a crappy mobile game whose name I've deliberately cropped out (they don't deserve the traffic).

Indeed, can't write without ideas

Apparently we got the 🫪 emoji within the past half a year or so, and I only just noticed that today. Discord's version below for those who just see a missing glyph. (Well, supposedly Discord's version; I don't see it listed in their emoji picker yet.)

I never did post this art of Mina the Hollower I commissioned off of @nuclearhog.farm a few years ago, did I (Lightly modified to make his signature stand out against black, because it's a transparent PNG normally and BlueSky is gonna JPEG it)

Mina the Hollower, sporting her Nightstar flail, jumping into action

In case anyone is playing Mina the Hollower and wants to use a Name in the Game perk (albeit mine), the code I got (and can freely share) is CHB&EERIEA. Has a nice visual perk on her profile art, too...

A screenshot of Mina the Hollower, but Mina's portrait has a pair of glasses now.

Can't say as I have a good enough eye for bootlegs to catch these, but it's okay, anime figures aren't really my scene anyway Did catch this bootleg Sonic last Saturday at some kids' toys stand at a mall, though.

A kids' toys shop in a mall. Pictured are toys of what I believe is a blue whale with a human face, a yellow school bus, and some weird fusion between Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario, in that it is sporting red overalls, a blue shirt, white gloves, and red leather boots, but also that's just straight up Sonic's head. The red overalls have the words "DANCING Gracefully" printed on it, along with some musical notes.

Can you believe it guys #MinaTheHollower

Next thing you know,

A screenshot from one of the Shenmue games. The camera is in a close-up on Ryo's hand as he examines a Sonic figure (from Sonic the Dighters) that he got from a capsule machine.

Also James McCloud's Arwing, and although it's hard to see, Fox is digitigrade now

Close-up of James McCloud in his Arwing, featuring TWO fox pawprints emblazoned next to the window. Presumably this is his paw and little Fox's paw, as a gesture to how much he cares for his son, and not him having giant paw hands but tiny paw feet and emblazoning both on his ship.

The part of the trailer introducing Falco Lombardi, with Fox, Peppy and Slippy in the background. Fox's legs are obscured in shadow, but the silhouette shows the "backwards knee" (in actuality, his heels) characteristic of a digitigrade leg.

Nintendo got so mad at the whole "Arwing pilots chop their legs off" theory, that the characters now go barefoot and mark their Arwings with their footprints, just to shut people up

Falco doing welding work on the Great Fox interior while Peppy looks at something else in a different direction. The welding illuminates Falco's legs, which are digitigrade and visibly have bare toes exposed.

A close-up of Fox McCloud's Arwing, with a fox paw print emblazoned next to the window.

A close-up of Peppy Hare's Arwing, with a rabbit paw print (apparently wearing a toeless boot?) emblazoned next to the window. Also, what appears to be an impressive tally of... something. Kill count, probably. Don't mess with Peppy.

Close-up of Slippy Toad flying his Arwing in space. It is HEAVILY obscured by the shadow, but there is a frog hand-/footprint emblazoned next to his Arwing's window.

I'm not asking for much - something like this Honda Civic in this bright and saturated green, but as a hybrid or an EV (assuming my HOA has some way for me to charge one, in this ideal scenario). The lack of actual greens available at the moment is depressing. Don't fret, tho! We have five greys!

A listing of a 2017 Honda Civic coupe pulled off of CarMax, with the license plate covered by a 🙂 emoji or sticker. The car is a bright lime green, and is in a showroom of some sort atop a turntable, used for CarMax's 360° exterior turnarounds.

Twilight Sparkle thinking of Picollo first is so funny to me, considering she is the caretaker of a literal purple/green dragon

Age verification? I used Prodigy.

It was certainly more applicable to Paper Mario than Panzer Dragoon Saga, anyway. (...I wonder if the other masks on Sega's site were archived)

"For those who can't find Panzer Dragoon Saga, see below." A full-page image of the face of the game's protagonist, Edge, with cutout instructions surrounding it, is placed below.

Only at MAGfest can you listen to a live band playing Transport Tycoon music while across the room, Tenna is playing Doom deathmatch

A black-and-white image of a lone tree in an open field on a cloudy day. Superimposed over it is a transparent image of the character only ever referred to as "Dad" (even in the credits list), with his iconic quote "If you can travel through space and time, you don't need a car."

A picture of two skeletons in a dark cave from the first (and Japan-exclusive) King's Field for The PlayStation. One skeleton has a shield, and both have swords. The caption reads "The PlayStation can produce mind-boggling effects." Taken from a scan of page 61 of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Volume 7, Number 8, Issue 61, hosted on the archive of the Video Game History Foundation.
