Hell yeah.

Image of a popular meme featuring a young girl with exaggerated facial expression, pigtails, and a patterned vest over a white shirt. She is excitedly holding several "Goosebumps" books. The meme text in large, distorted font reads “ERMAHGERD” at the top and “CHURTUHN HESSTUHN” at the bottom, mimicking a speech impediment to humorously express excitement about the books.

I wasn't able to go to #MOMA when I was in New York, but I couldn't resist getting this at the #PsychoBunny store.

Love the quote at the bottom.😂
Bright pink Psycho Bunny T-shirt laid flat on a couch, featuring a colorful geometric bunny print in the center with big distressed white letters reading “PSYCHO BUNNY” and a tiny caption at the bottom that says “I’m All Ears.”

Behold, Kylie.

#Caturday
Serious-looking tabby cat with big green eyes and a glittery, overachieving name tag, sitting regally on a patterned chair like it’s about to fire the human for subpar snack service.

I finally pulled the trigger on this mic yesterday to replace my venerable 4th Generation NT1.

I adore the NT1 and the 5th Gen has some significant improvements. Can't wait to take it for a spin!

Another vote for Bottlemark.
Screenshot of the BottleMark “Dashboard” page. The top navigation bar shows the BottleMark logo with links for “custom caps,” “labels,” “shop,” and “info.” A large heading reads “Dashboard.” A section titled Saved Designs explains that saved designs would appear here, followed by the message “No saved designs.” Below is a section titled Historical Designs (ordered or added to cart) with a short description about viewing past designs. Under this, one historical design appears, labeled “OUAW S2”: a blue bottle cap with an illustration of a woman in a red outfit holding a weapon and the text “Once Upon a Wasteland – A Fallout Story.” Beneath the cap is a blue button labeled “Review/Order.” On the right side of the page is a blue text link that says “Look up gift code…”

Episode what now? 😅

I default to theatrical releases for ranking the OT. The "special" editions do not exist in this dojo.
Screenshot of a Plex media library titled “Star Wars OT Theatrical,” displaying six movies from the original Star Wars trilogy (1977–1983). The interface shows movie posters and titles, including duplicates of “Star Wars,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” and “Return of the Jedi.” The left sidebar includes navigation options such as Home, Watchlist, TV Shows, Movies, Live TV, Anime, and Discover. A yellow “Play” button is visible under the collection title.

What's your favorite cookie at the holidays?

Mine are these chocolate chip cookies. The secret(s)? Bread flour and cake flour instead of all-purpose and chocolate fèves instead of chips.

No sir, I don't like it.

I do own it. I'm pretty sure it will be a new SKU because there's an upgrade version that's for people who own the base game alongside the full bundle for people who don't. It's definitely presented as a separate product.
Comparison chart for different editions of Fallout 4. The top row shows covers for the Standard Edition, Game of the Year Edition, Anniversary Edition, Anniversary Edition Upgrade, Creations Bundle, and Season Pass. Below, a checklist indicates which content is included. The base game is in all editions except the Creations Bundle and Season Pass. The six official expansions — Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World, Wasteland Workshop, Contraptions Workshop, and Vault-Tec Workshop — are included in the Game of the Year Edition, Anniversary Edition, and Season Pass. Over 150 Creation Club items are included in the Anniversary Edition, Anniversary Edition Upgrade, and Creations Bundle. The ESRB rating at the bottom right is M for Mature 17+, with descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, and Use of Drugs.
