Very very fishy.

Kushikatsu Daruma mascot Daruma Daijin looking out the window with a mildly angry facial expression (presumably due to someone double-dipping their kushikatsu).

Photo of a box of "Pizzone alla Bud Spencer" (frozen pizza with sausage and beans).

Here in Italy, we have Bud Spencer branded pizza.

Great stuff. Found one of these machines myself last year and got Fantasy Zone instead.

Digital painting of a Pokemon battle taking place on Victory Road in the Hoenn region. A Pokemon trainer is posed with Ultra Ball in hand, with a Meditite, a shiny Mawile and an Aggron ready to battle a Graveler and a Loudred. Various other Pokemon in the caverns are watching the events unfold.

Today is officially Aggron Day in Japan (March 6th, a.k.a. 3/06, or #306 as in Aggron's National Dex number) so it's about time to post this #pokemon art I did as part of @aracuya.bsky.social 's monthly art challenge :D #ボスゴドラ

I definitely understand this choice. The book perspective sounds intriguing, can't wait to hear more about it!

As one of the millennial Italians who do care, I'm very sad to hear this! I appreciate your output a lot.

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

"Pokémon with Characteristics Similar to Uranus" sure is a sentence.

I got these at a KIX vending machine and they were pretty great imo.

When we realized most of them could just be cut.

"It back."

Sapporo, I think.

Oh well...

Walking into 2026:

Ye

Last time I was there, there were so many.

Is that the area outside Super Potato?

you will be visited by 3 spirits

I'm such a mess, I'm lost, I'm no good at this
I'm in love, still in love, still in love with you
Hard as I try, I can't even drink this pain away
Memories of you, twisting my view, I've been a fool

Mind-boggling effects.

Completely out of character, yet so glorious.
