Some forgotten video game mascot from the 90s who's weirdly obsessed with jetpacks, tokusatsu heroes and monster taming. Sometimes a Pokemon, sometimes a Digimon, always some kinda creature. Optimistically nihilistic. No minors please. 30s/single/He him

This absolute mad lad is entering the cosplay contest. The sign didn't specify whether it was Pokemon cosplay or not. Honestly, valid.

I don't think I can compete with that.

Someone just walked in dressed as a satyr.

I take it back, this launch party just got interesting.

Okay, wasn't expecting an Ultraman Tiga figure in a GameStop.

Oh, neither am I. But that's more on The Pokemon Company fucking up than GameStop. From what I'm told, each store only got 50 codes per store. Same with the singular restock they did.

Still, fuck GameStop.

Zalno @zalno.net · 12h

There are 6 other people here, all adult males. There's pizza available, but you have to buy a slice. Only two people showed up for the tournament.

I know GameStop ain't doing too hot these days, but this is sad.

Nope. But I get to have fun being a huffy fire cat for a bit. And it's not like I had anything else going on tonight.

Zalno @zalno.net · 13h

Debating whether or not I should wear my Incineroar fursuit to a midnight release party for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. I have no intention of buying the game, but there's a cosplay contest. And I'm bored.

TMW you find art of your very specific fetish, but the commissioner is anonymous and none of your friends who are also into that very specific fetish claimed responsibility for it. >3>

Zalno @zalno.net · 2d

I don't know what's funnier. The fact that the Hogwarts Legacy group only has 12 people or that The DafoeVerse has almost as many.

A screenshot of The DafoeVerse on PictoVerse. The two most recent posts are as follows:

"I just watched the first Spiderman movie today, crazy coincidence"

"Coll Willem DaFact:

If you say his name in a mirror three times, you can hear him hunting squirrels in your backyard."

A screenshot of various communities in PictoVerse. Of note is the Hogwarts Legacy community has 12 followers and 7 comments. The DafoeVerse has 10 followers and 7 comments.

I don't have either console so I wouldn't know. All of Microsoft's new games are coming to PC anyways and Sony's been releasing most of their good ones there too. I'm waiting for both consoles to just give up the ghost and put their back catalog on PC already.

Zalno @zalno.net · 3d

By any chance, is there a roadmap with features planned to be added?

Zalno @zalno.net · 3d

As of right now you can either create text posts, make pixel art, or draw doodles. I cannot art for shit, so until someone decides to draw something, people will have to settle for some Cool Willem DaFacts.

Cool Willem DaFact:

He knows what your dreams taste like. Always.

Zalno @zalno.net · 3d

I suppose it's worth the dev asking for clarification.

Hey @th3richmond.bsky.social, was that intentional?

Zalno @zalno.net · 3d

Communities are user-created on this app, so there's always gonna be crap like that. But you can always make your own.

Zalno @zalno.net · 3d

I cannot draw for shit, so the best I can do is share some Willem DaFacts.

Zalno @zalno.net · 3d

That was the closest I could do. It doesn't let you upload your own avatars right now or even let you create your own Miis.

Paging @conradzimmerman.bsky.social, @commandersterling.bsky.social and @tronknotts.bsky.social, in case y'all are curious.

I do not claim responsibility for my actions.

I just found this mobile app called Pictoverse. It's basically a modern day version of MiiVerse, but users can make their own communities, albeit with a small fee.

So I did that.

A screenshot of The DafoeVerse on PictoVerse. The banner image shows Willem Dafoe with a crazed grin. The icon is another photo of Willem Dafoe snapping his fingers. No posts are shown.

The description reads "It's not MiiVerse without Willem Dafoe."
